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.

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,
