Now England Mngailne, MINERAL WOOL. The Process by Which the I'sefnl sulcata Cotton 1 Prodnced. Of those who know what mineral wool is, or silicnto cotton, ns it is some times called, probably only a small number are familiar with the simple process by which it is mado. The wool itself, serving a variety of useful pur poses, as a nonoondncting covering ngninst hent and cold alike, for steam pipes and cold storage room walls, as a sonnd "deadener" in floors of buildings and ns a mentis of fireprooflng, among many .others, is, ns its name implies, a soft and woolly substance, consisting of a mass of very fine mineral fibers inter lacing one another in every direction, nnd tlins forming nn endless nmiilicr of minnto nir cells. Tho wool appears on tho market in a vavioty of colors, principally white, but often yellow or gray nnd occasionally quito dark and is made by converting scorial nnd certain rocks while in a molten state into a fibrous condition by a steam blast directed against tho liquid material. Blast furnace slag forms tho raw material for one variety of the wool and sandstone for another, yielding re spectively sing wool and rock wool, tho latter being preferable for pipe covering boennso of the nltscnco from it of sul phur, which, with moisture present, be comes an aetivo oorroding Agent. Tho fnruaco sing or tho rock, as tho case may bo, is molted in a lai'go cupo ln, and ns it trickles out at the tap hole in a somowlint sluggish stream it moots a high pressure steam jet which ntom izes the woolen mineral, if it may be so termed, blowing it in fleecy clouds into tho storage mom provided for it. Soft and downy, the stuff settles whorever a renting plneo offords itself, tho heavier and easier wool coming down first, whilo the lighter portions aro blown farther along by tho forco of tho steam and set tlo in tho moro distant parts of the room, tho material thus naturally grad ing itself into varieties of diltoront quality. A thousand pounds of wool per hour are turned out by one of tho cupolas, and after tho storago room has been blown full tho floccolent mass is pushed into bags, ready for tho market. Tho wholo process affords an admirable and interesting illustration of the utilization of au utterly waste product. Cnssior's Magazine, III ralmy Day Are Oone. The juggling fakir, having beon driv en from moro lucrativo schoraos, has been reducod to a very common loveL Ono of the class who was rocognizod as having worn diamonds five years ugo, and who was known as ono of the most skillful shell workers in tho country, was the centor of au oagor group of boys in the rear of a big store at dinner hour Saturday. Ho was seedy and run down, and a wreck of ms former days, indicat ing that the shell swindle is too well known nowadays to be successfully worked. He had a basket in front of him, con taining a nnmber of small naner boos. In one hand he held a pretty gold ring, and this he pretended to put into one of the bags. Then ho shook the pile up. "Pick it out for a cent, boys I" he cried many times. "It's in that one," cried one, "There it is," shouted another, and so the boys vigorously guessed, but they didn't pro- anoe tne pennies. When the observer left, the decayed thimble rigger was still monotonously ana despairingly calling out: "Pick it out for a cent, boys I There's no deception, and the lucky boy gets a gold ring worth f 50. rick it out for a oentl" Philadelphia Call Printing; Name on Fruit, The rosy cheek of an apple is on the sunny side.

Any man can have lots of fun in this world if he only knows how to start out for it. No hard work is necessary. This is proved by tho fnet that tho man who probably furnishes moro fun for himself and other folks than any single Individ ual on or off the stage doesn't do a sin- glo thing but stand still.

His duty now is really only to attract attention to tho house whero ho is employed and to act as ushet to patrons who como iu carriages. Homo men would get mighty tired and lonesnmo with nothing to do but stand in front of a big store all day, but ho doesn't. Whcuover time hangs heavi ly on his hands nnd ho feels tho need of recreation, he strikes a stntuosquo posi tion and fixes his eye on the advertise ment of a "snro death to cockroaches" sign across the street. The nttitndo never fails to attract the attention of pnssorsby. As soon ns one person stops to satisfy himself whether "it" is a statue or a real, live mnn tho fnn begins. Everybody else stops to look too. Tho comments of the crowd niako no impression on tho figure standing be fore it. Then tho more inquisitive and Hint doesn't bar tho gentler sex begin poking with parasols or their fingers "to see If tho thing will move." Alphonso cntches his brent li nnd an other crowd. Ho repents the trick may bo 20 times n day, and it always works to his satisfaction and that of tho clerks insido. Chicago Inter Ocenu. A TRUE HERO. Though a Complete Physical Wrack, a Chl- rsR-o Man Lives For Other. Eighteen years a physical wreck, laid upon his back, with the priucipnl joints of tiio body as rigid as iron, and yet with a brain as bright and aetivo and useful as many of tho most active men of Chicago, describes tho condition of ono whom we often see ns we pass his oflieo window. EIo is a lawyer and has quite a good paying business, although to seo him you wonld wonder how ho could hold a pen. He ia the editor of a paper called Tho Cl ippies' Friend, which is blight and cheery. Ho is tho head of a society for the rolicf of the needy, but especially cripples, by raising funds for them nnd getting suitable employment and places of usefulness suited to each case. Ho is also attorney for Homo sooi cty that seeks the enforcement of law and the protection of innocent pooplo from imposition, and lie is rendy to as sist tho churches iu their work and do good in all directions. Tins man is au oxumpio or what a Christian can do .under .difficulties by tho grace of God. Many would suy that they could do nothing, but depend on others to bo fed and cared for as babes. But not so with this man. Ho not only maintains himself, but makes himself a blessing all around. With no hope of ever rising from his cot, except as lifted by other hands, he pationtly works and waits for the coming of his Lord.

Now and thon a soldier has been fouud kneeling on the battlefield as if about to take aim at the enemy, but stone dead. A bullet in tho brain had oouvcrted him into a statue of himself. Captain Forsyth, in his "Highland of Central India," tolls of a similar effect produoed by an explosive shell on a tiger. Tho captain, whilo in the howdah of his trained elephant hunting a tigor, saw the beast crouching under a bush on the bonk of a ravine. He got a steady shot and fired a throe ounce aboil at the tiger's broad forehead. To his surprise, for the distanoe was but 80 yards, there was no result Not a motion of the tiger acknowledged the shot He rode round a quarter of the circle, but still the tiger remained motionless, but looking intently in the same direc tion. Growing more and more amazed, the oaptain rode nearer, with his rifle on full oock, but tho tiger did not move. Then he oausod the elephant to kiok the beast The tiger fell over. He was stone doad. The shell had struck him full in the center of the forehead, burst in his biain and killed him instantly. Servant Who Will Not Take Tip. The servants in a well ordered Japa nese household are the most deferential beings alive. Every time they bring you a onp of tea or come to remove a dish at dinner or breakfast, they will kneel and bow until their foreheads touch the floor. Nor will any of them accept a fee. Tho other night, as we loft the residence of the Japanese gentleman where we had been taking dinner, one of his servants piloted us through the grounds to the gate, where our carriage was waiting, and I attempted to give him a small ooin. When I offered it, he clasped his hands together and made a very low bow, , keeping bis head down until the oarriage started. Chicago Reoord. LI HUNG CHANG CARRIED HER. I China' Vleeroy Took Literally nn Invltn tlon to Kscort a Lady. j Bpoaking of the first meeting of Li I Hung Chang and John W. Foster, on which occasion the Chinese viceroy en tertained a womnn nt dinner for the ' first timo in the person of Mrs. Foster, the Washington Capital vouches for the ' following story, which is ono of the j best illustrations of true orientnl cour tosy, combined with tho peculiar serious- ! ness nnd mnttor of fnctuess of the Chi- j nese mind, ever related s . When she was introduced to the vice- i roy, Mrs. Foster wondered how sho was to lie taken into the banquet room. Some timo before, it seems, Li Hung Chang had been guest of honor nt n din ner Riven by the Knsilim embassador, and being asked to take tho embassador's wife to the dining room, pi arretted to comply with a literalness which nston ished all the guosts. The viceroy is a giniit in stature, nnd the embnssndor's wife iMiiug a small womnn, he hnd no difllcnlty in picking her up bodily and carrying her to the table. Mrs. Fostor did not yearn for such honor nnd called upon tier husband's diplomacy to arrange that sho should bo escorted iu n less vigorous ninnner. Mr. Foster's tact was eqnal to the occasion, and when the doors wero thrown open Li Hung Chang led tho way, and Mrs. Fostor followed him. THIS CHINAMAN KNEW ENGLISH.

The Mule and the Peasant. One day a mule who was drawing a cart along a highway suddenly came to a stop and began lamenting his hard fate. "How, now, you ingratol" shouted the peasant in reply. "Are you not well fed and lodged, and do I ever ask yon to work on the Sabbath day?" "But behold the muddy highway I" replied the mule. "My strength is taxed to the utmost to pull my load."

The sousation of great cold and ol great heat is the same, because the nerves can convey but one sensation, and heat is more dangerous, and there fore it is more necessary that tho nerves should be able to give a warning of it BLOOD 8POT IN ITS PULP. The "Mike Apple Thnncht to Commem orate a M order of Lor. a Asa, A peculiar species of fruit is the "Mike" apple. It hns a fair skin, nn excellent flavor and is extensively prop agated in the vicinity of Norwich, Conn. Each individual apple exhibits some where in its pulp n red speck, like a tinge of fresh blood, and thereby hangs a strange legend. Tho npplo obtains its name from Mi oah Rood, a farmer who lived npon the ontlands of the Connecticut town in the eighteenth centnry. Tho son of Thomas Rood, one of Norwich's early settlers, Micnh tilled his fertilo acres with all the zest of youthful ambition. But of a sudden his habits changed, no grow idle, restless nnd ititempor;t e. He lost all interest in both work nnd worship. His cnttlo were neglected nnd his neighbors shunned. Borne attributed tho change to witchcraft. Others hinted at insanity. Winter wore nwny, spring returned, nnd the orchard of Micnh Komi burst into blossom. . On one tree, it was then observed, tho flowors hnd turned from white to red. Tho superstitions neigh bors wondered, ospccinlly as Rood seemed drawn to this tree by some resistless fnscinntion. Angnst enme nnd tho red blossoms developed into fruit. When tho large yellow npples fell from the branches, ench one wns fonnd tocon tain a well defined globule, known thereafter ns "tho drop of blood." The freak of tho npplo treo deepened the mystery of Micnh's bohnvlor. Con jecture followed surmise, and soon it wns remembered that during tho pre vious fall n foreign peddler hnd pnssod through Norwich nnd hnd spent the night nt Micnh Rood's. Ho had never been seen agnin. Home one suggested that the young farmer hnd murdered him for his money and buried tho body under tho npplo tree. Bonreh was mado for thn body of the strnngor, but in vniu. Nor was any traeo of his stock found nttiong the possessions of tho nnhnppy Micnh. If a load of crimo rested upon tho conscience of tho suspected farmer, it nover forced a confession from his lips. His farm drifted gradually to decay, and, too broken down to reclaim it, ho wnndor od nbont town, disordered in mind and body. Ho died iu 1728, but whilo the blood spotted Hpplo continncst to gtow his nanio nnd history will bo pnrpotuatod. New York Herald. llfsliop Fallow' Saloon.

One of tho most famous murder coues In Australia was discovered by the ghost of the murdered man sitting on the rail of a dam (Australian for horse pond) into which his body had been thrown. Numberless people saw it, nnd the crime was duly brought home. Years after n dying man making his confession said that he invented tho ghost. Ho wituesscd tho crime, but wns threatened with death if he divulged it, as he wished to, and the only w,iy he saw out of tho impasse was to nuect to see the ghost whero the body would be found. As soon as ho Mnrted the story, such is tho power of nervousness that numerous other people began to see it until its fame reached such dimension that a search wns made and the body found and tho murderers brought to justice.
