An Extraordinary Advertisement.
A few .lays since a man entered a
lawyer s office where I happened to be
for a moment, looked around in rather a
caution.' and theatrical fashion and slow
ly opened a large leather valise which he
carried in one hand. From this he ex
tracted a small parcel done up in brown
paper and, laying it on a convenient
desk, said softly to the clerk. "That's for
th° boss." Then he tiptoed out of the
office. The parcel was tit once taken to
the lawyer, who tore off the wrappings
and discovered a small china breakfast
plate, upon which lay what looked ex
actly like a fried egg. The egg was
squashed up a little bit on the plate ap
parently and it was movable. The plate
was bona fide, but the allege ! -gg was
made of papier mache. We all looked
at it carefully, and after a little prying
about it was found that the yolk of the
egg could be lifted.
Under it lay what was apparently a
peanut. This was opened, and within
it there v.'ie f .u.nd a small sheet of white
tissue paper upon which a few letters
were faintly visible. The lawyer went
to the wn.d*>w. with everybody follow
ing at hi.- heel-*, examined the paper
closely, and discovered upon it an ad
vertisement * I a hair restorer and a pre
ventive of baldness. Then he threw the
whole outfit into»lie corner with a growl
and went L.w!: to liL desk. It struck
me as being aV.nt the most complete ad
vertisement ' .1 have seen of late. It
is an ilhisDaiion of the extraordinary
length to which advertisers go in their
efforts to i ach the public. - LI .holy

Berlin,- ol Literary Itn-rplnn*
The pas! winter has practically set
tled on-.- thing iu New York —that the
literary tv < pilon has had its day. Two
years ago • venings" were held by all
the wejl kn-.-wn literary people, but. the
piV th o wa • abused, and the following

former inter.-1 - so much so that nfixt
winter will sec .-till a smaller number.
< >ne cause * f ' heunp'nmlarity into which
the literary reception in New York has
fallen was if * shameful abuse. A liter
ary woman would begin her season with
a small coterie of her select friends, and
so long as tho.-e same congenial spirits
came together all went delightfully well.
But one friend brought another, and
after two or three weeks lie would in
turn bring a third, until at tin? close of
the season the hostess would find her
rooms ov nun with a lot of minor liter
ary lights whom site scarcely knew, and
the spell was broken. Then the deaths
of Miss Booth. Oliver Bell -Bailee, the
removal of .Marion Ilarland made a dif
ference, and - > for more than one reason
the practice lias died out. Perhaps the
change will b for lliebetter, since privi
leged friend--* will lie more certain of
agreeable companionships upon special
evening.--wii -.i ihe host-ss signifies her

ICxclvjnient in a Belgian Town.
It i-* promised that it will not be long
before a rertain small town in Belgium
is lighted by electricity. It appears that
thirty years ago the municipality entered
into a contract with the local gas com
pany lY r the public lighting of the town.
It wa» agreed that the price should be
fixed at £8,i.)00 per annum, the contract
to exist for fifty-five years. Tims the
agreement remains good for ther
twenty-live years. The muni ipulity.
seeing around cheaper gas and a more
desirable light in the form of tile electric
light, have come to the conclusion that
they are decidedly at a disadvantage
They say ihat the price which was con
sidered jus: when the contract was mad.
should now be reduced, as it is excessive
when compared with other towns where
only §1,000 per annum is paid for the
same amount of light.
As the gas company refuse- tqreduce
its price, complaints regarding deft riv-.
lighting, which had previously been per
mitred to pass unnoticed, are now mi
me: ous, the inhabitants entering hearti
ly into tin-spirit of tile, situation. Ac
cording to the latest accounts the gas
company had fallen on tiou' -1 1 tim-s.
1 municipality had mad.* up it- miml
teat if it could n t gat the gas at a re i
■. a.'.ble rat it would secure it at a low
one, ami p. ssihly make a profit on the
bargain.
'i he method adopted isdecid**diy rigor
ous. For every gas jet below the con
tract caudle power a fine of forty cents
is impe.-ed. for each squ ire of glass not
ptop-rly cleaned, a fine of ten c, a ..; a
hi. k*u g!aten cents, and for a lamp
extinguished a caution first and a line
afterward. The campaign is affording
immense gratification to tlm inhabitants
of that quiet little town, which has sel
dom fallen on such a bonanza in the way
of a sensation, and the gas company
seems destined either to make a speedy
change of front or give up its contract.

.Skin (iraftinj; by 3Ia«*Li:icv..
Saturday morning, at the M -<-hu
setts General hospital, a little instru
ment, invented by Dr. Mix', r. wonder
ful in its simplicity, constructed so as
to separate quite large portions of epi
dermis from the subcutaneous tissue,
was used for the first time.
The patient had been etherized, and had
undergone an operation for the removal
of a cancerous growth from the left
breast, and the wound thus made was
quite an extensive one. The instrument
was applied to the anterior portion of
the right thigh, and three strips, about
an inch wide by six inches l.eic, were
taken off and transplanted to the ex
posed surface of the breast. The opera
tion of removing tlm skin and trans
planting it to its new quarter- <1:1 not
occupy more than about six minutes.
A very few days will suffice to restore
the denuded surface of the thigh to its
normal condition, leaving lew trgc.-s of
the reparative process to which it has
contributed, ami, other things being
equal, the .surface from which the can
cerous tumor has been excised will heal
over by first intention, thus saving the
pitient from a prolonged and painful
j. -riod of convalescence. Of com - *. every
precaution is taken, by the use of steril
i zi ng p r< icesses a n d antiseptic solutions, to
render the operation thoroughly aseptic,
so that the chances of inflammatory dis
turbances from bacteriai sources are re
duced to lhe lowest minimum.
File thickness of these delicate human
plasters probably does not exceed one
sixtieth of an inch, and the resulting
hemorrhage is not more than what one
sees on a slight abrasion of the skin, or
it may lie compared to the sanguineous

Tlic* Tliuiitriiul S<*:ison.
Thomas 11. Davis, theatrical man
ager. says: "Thi; season on ih? road Ini'

of plays have received more enconr:! r -
ni"nt than ever before. On the other
hand many of the cheap ; p - e-nlnr and

people outside of Naw York are becom
ing quite as good judges of dramatic
performances as can bo found in the
nietrop Us, aed any effort on the part of
cunning managers to limn bug them
stands a poor show of sncCess. In mv
experience I find that New York' is be
coming less and less a factor in the suc
cess of any dramatic production. The
time was. a few years ago, when a suc
cessful run in New York decided the
fate of a piece. It is now no longer the
case."—New York Herald.
Tfieir Watches Being Repaired.
Two Doylestown gentlemen wanted
to test the magnets at Swartley's new
mill a few days ago. and, after trying
the penknives, thought they would' see
if the magnets would hold gold and sil
ver watches. The watches are now laid
up for repairs, and the jewelers have a
job in demagnetizing the high priced
works. It is never too late to learn.—

A Church of Oranges.
The Palermo (Mon.) Fruit Growers*
association, which recently affiliated
with the California State Board of
Trade, sent to San Francisco a large
model of the U.nion church, which is lo
cated at Palermo colony in Butte. The
model has been erected in the hoard of
trade rooms, and is now on exhibition.
The miniature church is an exact model
in every detail of the original, and jn-t
one-seventh its size. It is 10 feet in
length, fit feet wide and H i feet in
height. The roof, gables and bell tower
are covered with oranges, some thou
sands of which are used, while in tl
windows and around the pedestals are
arranged exhibits of nuts, dried and
fresh fruits and other products of the
colony. As the oranges used in decorat
ing the church wither they will be taken
away and fresh fruit substituted until
the orange season is over, when other
fruits, dried and fresh, will be used for
decorating, making it a standing unique
advertisement of the resources of Paler
mo.—Omaha Bee.
SupplyiiiK Moving Kngim-s with Water.
By a new invention which is being
tried on some of the southern railroads
it is thought possible that engine* can
be supplied with water when necessary
without stopping. The system is ex
plained as follows: There is to be a
tower over each well or stream that is
to supply water, about forty f- -!: high,
and from this tower is suspend -d by a
wire cable a tank or bucket holding
about 2.d0u gallons of water. The same
is raised by pa-sing locomotive,-, and
the water discharged automatically into
a storage tank. The bucket that con
veys me wat -r to the storage tank, when
emptied, goes back automatically into
the Wvl! - i stream of supply, anu is filled
ready l'or the next locomotive. This
save; the expense of a stationary engine
and fuel, with engine and such expense
as attends the present system, and give*
equal guarantee of reliable supply.-

Electric Ligiit in tlic Holy Limil.
A decided sensation has been cause 1
in Jerusalem by the introduction of elec
tric light into a new and flourishing flour
mill lately started there. The building
in which the light lias been introduced is
near to the supposed site of Calvary and
close to the Damascus Gate. It need
hardly be said that the Arabs and Jews
are much puzzled to account for a light
in a lamp in which there is no oil, and
up to the present time, while gazing
with wonder, have been keeping at a re
spectful distance.—Pall Mall Gazette.
In the year 1878 the standard or
"Blauu" dollar was first issue d, and most
people considered it a very handsome
coin, but there are some critics who
have nev.er ceased to complain of the
eagle with uplifted wings, which they
derisively, term a "buzzard." This talk
has borne such fruit that congress has
dedded to improve the figure of the
eagle, and has authorized the director of
the mint to procure new designs.

The brink-lit meteor that you describe
in your issue of Feb. 21, and which was
heard to explode with tremendous noise
in many places in Maine, appears to have
been moving northward, nearly over
Portland, Me., perhaps from as far south
as B-j?ton. an 1 to nave disappeared some
mile.; above the surr'.i-.v of the earth over
the mi.'Ml- or v. .rtheiii partsof Franklin
county, Mi-, tic-far as known no stones
have been secured from the meteor. If
this is the true path, the h-.dy entered
the air with a tremendous velocity.
Tit- ca:th was at that time moving
eighteen l-.i'es « ::d dir. - ily toward
the point fr- ni which the meteor was
coming. Accvrdmg to ;a cepted theories,
the inettfor was moving faster than the
earth, and the stone entered the air with
the sum of the two velocities. This
makes a velocity of more than forty
miles a sw-md. In m.-st of the cases
where st'lies have been secured the ve
locities have been not more than twenty
miles a second, in one instance, how
ever, ia Stanhem, Moravfa, there were
secured a large number of stones from a
meteor whose velocity was as great as
that of Em- meteor of Feb. 23.—Hartford
