NO TIME FOR SENTIMENT.
Ooos.lon Arrived When "B.bt"
8ho" Caused Different Emotion.
There once upon a time lived a
young woman who was Pull of Senti
ment She never mentioned the Dear
Old Home without molHt eye, though
It la well known that hem was a fam
ily that never lived In the sama
house longer than a year. A aentl
mental song about The Dark Night
has been known to shake her frame
with blubbers, and no words can tell
how deeply she has always been af
fected by any sentimental reference
to Baby's Bhoe. Poetry, prose or song
about Baby's Bhoe would make her
cry a quart, and It has been feared
on occasions when the song about
Baby's Shoe was for a contralto, with
pedals, that she would dissolve In
tears. The girl married, and when In
the course of time the Btork whispered
in her ear she didn't feel any tender
sentiment about Baby's Bhoe. It Is re
lated that she went out to the hen
house In her wrath and bit nails In
two. , ..

Determining Sex.
Mark Twain says that he has al
ways taken woman's part
"For Instance," he relates, "1 once
strongly reprimanded a woman out in
Hannibal, Mo. Here was the occa
sion: " '80 this Is a little girl, eh?" I said
to her aa she displayed her children
to me. 'And this "sturdy little urchin
In the bib bolongs, I suppose, to the
contrary sexT"
" 'Yassah,' the woman replied. Ya
ah, dat'a a girl, too.'"

Antiquity of Bows and Arrows.
One curious result of tba recent
study of the mural paintings and en
gravings on the walls of caverns in the
Pyrenees anciently occupied as dwell'
lugs by men. la the evidence which it
baa affoided that bows and arrows
were already In use at that very early
period. In a grotto at Nlauz, bisons.
horses, deer and wild goats are repre
sented, and arrows are shown striking
Into many of the anlmala. Borne of
the arrow heads thus placed are col

Apparently they were adopted In Kug

as late as 1770 when they were lutnv

Why Steel is Pslnted Red.
"Why is iron or ateol invariably
painted red?"
This question has been asked by
rcores of men and women recently,
who have walked over Hungerford
llitilge on the way to Waterloo Sta
tion from Charing Croan. Workmen
have been busy for liomo time palnt
lvg the steel work of the structure a
l'iMitlful carmine.
In America lt has been noticed that
most of the skyscraper steel frames
nre first painted red and then some
other color. This is also the case
with Bteel bridges and ironwork of
all kinds.
One of the workmen on the Hunger
ford bridge Job was asked why tho
btidge was being painted red.
"Oh, it's not the color that counts,"
he said, "but It's what the paint Is
composed of. This is red lead, and
any steel man will tell you that red
lend is the beat preservative agaln:t
d-iinpnoBH and rurt. Recently a dr.vk
green lead has come into use as a
hret coat for iron and Bteel, but, niter
all, red lead seems to hold Its r a
as a covering to preserve steel wor1:.
When the red lead Is ouoe on lt tho
structure can be painted in any olher
color to suit the taste. The red lead
hints years."
Haw's This for Mudt
Of all the yarns that ever onino
down the line regarding deep mud,
the following should be entitled to tha
blue ribbon. It happened In the place
where mud originated.
A man was walking along the road
side one summer duy and noticed a
fairly good looking hat out in the
road. Reaching out with his cane, ha
gave it a cut and was startled to hear
a- voice exclaim: "Here, what the
douce are you doing t"
Then he made the astonishing dis
covery that the owner of the head
piece waa under the hat, up to his
eara in mud.
"Groat heavens!" exclaimed the
man who had hit the hat. "Is that
mud aa deep bb that?"
"Deep!" cried the victim. "Why,
man alive, I'm standing on a load of
hay!"
An Onion Soup Cure.
The great dean of a great profes
sion when too merry is kept in bed by
his wife for two or three days and
fed on onion soup. All the shutters
are kept closed and the rooms dark
ened until perfect recovery to hbui.I
guyety and balnuce comes. The pair
have stood many triumphs, many sor
rows and many honors. It Is not past
belief that George D. Prentice or Torn
Marshall had Btlll lived on such wd
wifely devotfcju.
Smoke-Detector.
A Bcotchman. Mr. John Lowden,
has Invented a "smoke tintometer,'
which. It la thought, may be of use lu
prosecuting casea of "smoke nuis
ance." It consists of a tube with a
single eyepiece and two object open
lnt;ti. One of these is clear, but the
other contains a revolving diaphragm
In which are Bet five circles, one of
clear glass and the other four of tiut
c1 glasses corresponding with tr.e
sttindfird tlnm of a scler-titic "smo'.-e
rhiirt." In examining smoke-deliied
u'.r the diaphragm Is turned until the
tinted glass coincide in darkness
wnli the air seen through the clear
aperture. Tho various glaaaes are
systematically nunibeied, so that a
glance suffices to show the degree of
rictllemtnl of ti e air.
Synthetic Sapphires.
M. Verueutl. a French scientist pub
llBhes a method for making sapphires
artificially like rubles, and tells how
at the French Academy of Sciences.
Rubtea cun be made by coior.ng
alumina, mineral corundum, through
giving a led color to tba fused mineral
by a trace of some aubatance like iron.
Many utteiupta have been made to
make sapphires iu a similar way, us
