PHILIP GEUITZ, ) | Chlckweed Sellers In Paris. ! It is strangely suggestive of tho nps and downs of life to read that among the members of the society of chick weed sellers in Paris there are a large number of persons who were formerly in a much higher condition. It may not be generally known that the humble itinerant chickweed seller of Paris boasts of a syndicate, which, in default of a hall wherein to transact business, meets in the open air near the fortifica tions. At a recent meeting the question had to he decided whether what are known as "colifichet" men—that is to say, itinerant venders of a species oi light cake for song birds—should he ad | mitted into tho Bociety, and the votes were taken in this way—those who were for their admission put a cork in a bas ket, those against it put in an onion. The corks, on being counted, proving superior in number to the onions, the "colifichet" men were proclaimed mem ! hers of the society of chickweed sellers. In connection with the subject it is mentioned that among the members of this very humble corporation are to be found two doctors, one lawyer, four chemists, two manufacturers, twenty nine wine merchants, one process server, four jewelers, nineteen brokers, eight grocers, two copiiersmiths, four clock mnkcrs and a dozen tradesmen in other lines. It would he curious to know by . what vicissitudes or reverses of fortune such a change in the social position of these people was brought about. A professional man, or even a tradesman, must be, indeed, driven to the last ex tremity to take to selling chickweed at one sou a bunch to earn his bread.— London Standard. Frozen Gas for Fuel. According to a special from Muncie, I Ind., which is the center of the Indiana natural ga-s fields, the number of chance discoveries has just been added to by one which will be of immense impor tance in the industrial world. The story i is that a few days ago a sen-ice pipe J line of natural gas had frozen near Mill j Grove. To remedy the stoppage a joint | of the pipe was detached. It was found j that the joint was filled with ice, and ono of the workmen pounded the pipe and a cylinder of ice about a foot long | came out. One of the workmen said jestingly, "Well, there's some ico which | ought to burn." Some one then suggested that fire be applied to the ice. The ice caught fire i and burned like a torch, so thoroughly ! was it impregnated with the natural gas. The burning gas furnished heat to ' melt the ice, and as it melted it liberated the gas, which burned as fiercely as if it : had been coming out of a pipe. All present wore amazed at the phe i nomcnon, and it was at once suggested that the discovery might prove of im mense value by rendering it possible to freeze natural gas into blocks which could he sent out for use as fuel. It I l seems that the congealing had taken j : place under a pressure of 300 pounds to | the square inch, and it will require in- i vestigation of chemical experts to de cide whether the gas had been liquefied | by the pressure and then frozen or not. | Capitalists are investigating the dis- | covory, and if practical a new industry i will be developed in the natural gas j fields. —Chicago Inter Ocean. XVIII Go to tipper I.ehlgli. Mrs. Helen Brown, the genial hostes of the Church Street boarding house, j has purchased the goodwill and fixture!- of the hotel at Upper Lehigh, lately occupied by Mr. Bush. Everyone who has had to hoard and was fortunale enough to find Mrs. Brown's place, knows only too well the kind of a house i she keeps. Mrs. Brown has had a life long experience in the boarding house and hotel business, and knows exactlv what is needed to make her patrons comfortable and at the same time make them feel as tnoroughly at home as it is possible for any one to do. Boarding house life is nut the most pleasant kind of a life at the best, but we feel ussured in saying that anyone who has to board j cannot find a more homelike place than J Mrs. Brown's lias been, and we feel certain that she will do as well in her new venture. Mrs. Brown will take possession of the hotel at Upper Lehigh to-morrow. —Sptalrer, ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Middle Coal Field Poor District, For the Year Ending Dec. 31st. 1891. RECEIPTS.
