General Jonbert'i Story ved tit Lives of trie Jameioa Raiders. A most interesting acconnt of thS rcAciier iu which the lives of Jatuesoa and his men were spared, after the sur render to the Boers, is told by the Nienws Van den Dag of Amsterdam: The stern old Boers, when they had Jameson and his fellow officers in thei hands, determined to execute the lead ers of the band at daybreak. The meet iui? took place in President Krnger house, 20 being present, of whom the great majority, wild with indignation at the sudden inroad into their terri tory, were for shooting the British ofli cers at once. President Kroger opposed this sum mary plan and used all his eloquence and all his influence on behalf of the prisoners. For a long time his efforts were vain. It was 4 o'clock in the morning, and the president's opponent were still for execution. The lives of the foreigners hung by a thread. At length General Joubert, one of the few who agreed with the president, had recourse to the old time Boer method of convincing his hearers. He made use of a parable. "Friends," ho said, "will you not listen to my voice once more? Suppose that close to my farm lives a bad neigh bor who keeps fierce hounds in his house, worrying my sheep exceedingly and also killing some. What, then, would you have me to do? Should I kill the hounds to be free of this worry Truly my neighbor would say unto me 'Thou hast killed my hounds, yet their value is greater than the value of your sheep. Pay thou me!' Is it not better that I should take the hounds and go ing into my neighbor's house . say, 'These are thine; now pay me for the harm they have done my flock? " There was silence, and the general continued: "We have caught the pack. Is it not better to send them to the British government with demands for reparation, lest the British send more hounds to worry us anew? The old form of argument proved successful. Tho wisdom of moderation became apparent, and the council of war accepted the advice of their chiefs. SERVANTS' EXCUSES. One Woman tVlioWnn Clever Enongh to Circumvent Tliem. Wo have heard the story of the Cana dian mistress who, with seven servants in her house, was obliged to go to the garden and pick berries for the table Each of tho servants declined the task with tho stereotyped excuse, "It ain't my place to pick berries." Ord, in his "History of Cleveland, relates an an- ecdoto of Margaret Wharton, who, whilo accepting her servants' excuse, yet mado them do her will. Iu one of her visits to Scarborough Mrs. Wharton, with her usual economy, had a family pio for dinner, which ho directed the footman to convey to tho Lakehonse. This tho man declined to do as not belonging to his placo, or rather, as derogatory to ins conse quence. The lady then moved tho ques tion to the coachman, but found a still stronger objection. To pave tho priilo of both Mrs. Wharton resolved to tako tho pio to the shop herself. Sho ordered one man to harness and bring out the horses and tho other to mount and rido behind, and thus the errand was douu with all honor and ceremony. Then in duo timo tho coachman was ordered to put to a sec ond time and the footman to mount be hind, and Mrs. Wharton brought back the put iu tho same diguined state. "Now," said tho lady to the coach man, "you have kept your placo, which is to drive, and you yours, " to tho foot man, "which is to wait, and I mine, which is to have my pie for dinuer. " Continuous Steel Pipe. Tho West Australian government has taken a contract to lay nearly 350 miles of water pipeof a novel character. This pipe is to bo mado of steel spirals pack ed in concrete. Sheet metal is cut into strips of tho required width. These are fed into a machine and welded into one continuous strip. As the strip is fed in. to tho machine rivet holes are punched; then the edges of tho laps are brought together by machinery and held during tho process of riveting, which is all done by compression. The lap is thrown on the outside of the pipe, rendering the inner surface sooth and even throughout its length. A tenacious hydraulic co ment is packed around the laps, making the pipe absolutely water tight. New i ork Ledger. She Loves lilrda. The dowager empress of China is de voted to birds of all kinds, and innu merable bird pets are kept about the palace. Sho is reported to have wept copiously about the death of a favorite nightingale not along ago. Upon being told of a Chinese girl who had com plained bitterly of the dreariness of life this exalted lady remarked sagely that a woman ought 'to take so much pride in her home that it could bo a heaven to her, adding, "There ore alwavs birds and flowers." Sho is a clever artist and delights in painting from nature Can't Hold .Inerlra Down. "Vhy, sir," said tho geologist, "the ground you walk on was once tinder water. " "Well," replied the friend, who is nothing if not patriotic, "it simply goes to show you can t hold America down. " Washington Star. A southern man says that tho differ ence between yellow fever and dengoo ft-viT is that when one has tho former ho is afraid ho will die and when the l.ittcr attacks him lie is fearful that ho will not. Accordinu to the latest statistics, tho population of Greece is increasing moro racidlv than rime tf nnv nllirr mnrifrv , - j . rf namely, at tho rate of 1.S7 per cent per annum. Charsed S For "San," A story is told of Fanny Kcmblo, whose favorite summer resort was Len ox, that on her first season there she employed a self -respecting villager, who had a comfortable turuont, fo drive her about. He, feeling it to be his duty to make tne drive as entertaining as possi ble, began to call her attention to the beauty of the scenery which she wished to enjoy undisturbed and to tell her who lived in certain houses as they passed along, until finally Mrts. Kemble, being unable to stand it any longer, said in the high tragedy manner somewhat peculiar to her, "I have en gaged you to drive for me, sir, and not to talk." The driver ceased talking, pursed up his lips, and in all their subsequent drives his only remarks were such as he found necessary to address to his horses. At the end of the season he handed in his bill for the summer services. Run ning her eye down its awkward columns. she paused at an item that she didn't understand. "What is this, sir? Ican- not comprehend it." With equal gravity he replied, "Sass, $5. I don't often take it, but when I do I charge." She paid the bill without comment and continued to enploy the same driver during many summers she spent there. Boston Record. The Gamblers Capper. "Many of the phases of life in tho Tenderloin are kaleidoscopic in their changes, " said a hotel detective, "but there is one little group of men in this precinct that is much the samo now that it was a dozen years ago. I mean tho outside men of the gambling houses. They are well known to all sporting men, and I could name four or five who have done little elso all their Hives. It is their business to know the regular patrons or faro banks, and if tne man who employs them has been forced to close up his old place and open a new one it is their duty to circulate the tip. "A good outside man spends his time around hotels and in all night restau rants and picks up acquaintances wher ever he can. After working up to the subject cf gambling ho invites his new friend to go around to a little place that is run honestly and safely. One of the best dressed loungers on Broadway, whose face has long been familiar to paraders on that street, is a puller in for a gambling house. He was a bar keeper a few years ago and there made a lot of acquaintances who are his stock in trade. lie spends mouey as freely as a wine agent, and I have no doubt that ho brings many thousands of dollars to tho man who runs the gambling house. " New York Sun. Snved Life nnd .nme. Tho French author Martainville, who began his career toward tho close cf tho last century, is said to have owed tho preservation of his life to a witty pieco of audacity. He was a royalist and did not hesitate to attack tho French revolution and its authorities. Presently, of course, he was summoned to appear boforo the revolutionary tribu nal. The revolutionary tribunals at that timo did not hesitate to send every body to tho guillotine who had ventured to attack them. Martainville expected to go with the rest of the victims. "What is your name?" asked tho judge. "Martaiu- villo, " said the young author. "Mar tainville!" exclaimed tho judge. "Von are deceiving us and trying tohideyonr rank. You are an aristocrat, and j-our lianio is Do Martainville." "Citizen president, " exclaimed the young man, "I am here to bo shortened, not to bo lengthened! Leave mo my name!" A true Frenchman loves a witticism above all things, and tho tribunal was so pleased by-Martainville's grim responso that it spared his life. Queer Medicines. The peasant pharmacopoeia of Franco is wonderful most wonderful. Wiuo is an ingredient of every prescription, In fever cases it is always tho predomi nant one. Tho French peasant's faith iu fermented grape juice is truly beau tiful. If his children are stricken with tho measles, ho gives tbem beakers of wine, well sweetened with honey and highly spiced with popper. Tor a severe cold he administers a quart of red wino and a melted tallow candle mixed. For Ecarlet or brain fever ho gives eggs, white wine and Boot well beaten to gether. Not all their superstitions are curious. Some are pathetic A mother. for instance, often buries her dead child with its favorito toy or her own beauti ful hair in the coffin, "that it may not feel quite alone." Paris Correspond ence. Corrupting an Echo. At Killarney every visitor hears some laughable stories. Here is one new and fresh, I think which I picked up dur ing my last visit to the glorious lakes: A number of boatmen who were quar reliug about the division of "tips" in dulged at the top of their voices in a good deal of profane language, which tho marvelous echo repeated verbatim. "Arrah, look at that, now, for a scan dal," said one of the party who was of a pious turn. T achiu tho poor harm less echo to curse and sware. "Spec tator. niK Similarity. "The minister and tho policeman," said the young and cynical boarder, aro inseparable adjuncts of civiliza tion." "They are very much alike," said the cheerful idiot. "One is a pairer, and the other ia a teeler. " IndianaDolis Journal. Each figure in a first class waxwork exhibition has to be remade every four or five years. The wax loecs its color and becomes soft and spongy after that time. It is estimated that in Paris one in IS of the population, or 150,000, live on charity, with a tendency toward crime.

The . strongest hydrauli-j pressure would not squeeze one-half of 1 per cent of the moisture from dry wood, but by putting the same material into ai. iron retort and converting it into charcoal by means of heat the gases and smoke, to the extent of fully 65 per cent of the weight of the wood, may bj condensed into pyrcligneous acid, from which are obtained wood alcohol, acetato cf lime and wood tars. A cord of wood weighing 4,000 pounds produces about 2,030 pounds of pyroligueous acid and 700 pounds of charcoal. The pyroligne ous acid from ono cord of wood pro duces 9 gallons cf S3 per cent crudo wood alcohol, 200 pounds of acetate of lime and about 25 gallons of tar, besides 35 bushels of charcoal. After the pyro ligneous acid is neutralized with limo the wood alcohol is distilled off, tho lime holding the acetic acid iu solution. After the separation of the wood spirit the remaining liquid is boiled down iu pans to a sugar, which is dried, and be comes tho acetate of lime of commerce. Acetate of limo is used for making acetio acid. Fully threo-Cftha cf all tho wood al cohol and acetate of lime produced in the world are mado iu the United States. Over 15,000 acres of forest per year aro cleared in the United States. Wood al cohol affords a perfect substitute for grain alcohol for manufacturing and mechanical purposes, and at less than cue-third the cost. It is used principally as a solvent in tho making of shellac varnish and in making celluloid and photographic paper. It makes beautiful dye tints, i.3 antiseptic and is used for liniments and for skin rubbing in bath houses. Wino and Spirit Gazette. HEADACHE ?
