WEBSTER REVISED: Industrialist •—A man who don't work.

"HE that pathereth in the summer is a wise son but he that sleepeth in the harvest is the son that oauseth shame."

MR. JOHN JACOB ASTOR, whose grandfather was rich, having an abundance of leisure and ready cash, has devoted his leasure moments to writing a romance and a portion of his wealth to the publication of the same. The book is entitled: "A Tourney in other Worlds: A Romance of the Future." The timers the fear 2000, and the volume describes kn imaginary journey to Jupiter. The work is copiously illustrated.

DR. TALMAGE will sail from San Francisco oa the steamship Alameda, May 31, on his long-contem-plated tour around the world. Ilis Brooklyn pulpit will be occupied during his absence by various '"supplies," but the Talmage sermons for syndicate publication will be continued from the various points at which the famous preacher may deliver them, being cabled to this country regularly every Monday. This series of discourses will be of surpassing interest, and the impressions cleaned by such a remarkable and intelligent observer will be awaited by his admirers with the most cheerful anticipations.

THEODORE WESTMAUK a Scandinavian, who has mad 3 two explorations of the Congo Free State under the auspices of the King of Belgium, in a recent lecture at Chicago, charged Henry M. Stanley with having lunched on human flesh in Africa in 1884, to satisfy his curiosity as to the taste of human flesh. The "meat"' was said to have been procured by his servant, fried in butter and served with pickles. Stanley pronounced the flesh tasteless. Stanley's great success appears to have aroused the animosity of all the African explorers, and apparently this is only one of the lot of trumped-up charges which have from time to time been brought against him.

MAY is a maiden so passing fair that the heavens smile and the balmy air fragrant with all the blossoms of spring greets the joyous and winsome thing and each wondrous day a laurel wreath brings to deck her brow and with garland strings of budding flowers bestrews hei* way, while the azure vast is overcast with the plumes of clourls that sailing past, play hide and seek with the god of day. Green is the carpet beneath her feet and the morning's dawn that her dewy eyes greet is bright with the light of a passionate fire that grows with the heat of her heart's desire to be merged and married, her heart in tune, with her lover gay, warm Jeafy June.

INDIANA has quite a number of citizens who seem fully determined that their families shall not go to the almshouse after they have ceased to exert themselves in their behalf, and as a means to that desirable end they are carrying life insurance policies for large amounts. Among the most notable are: J. M. Studebaker. South Bend, $250,000 Clem Studebaker, South Bend, $250,000 A. H. Nordyke, Indianapolis, over $200,.000 J, C. \Vright, Indianapolis, $150,000 D. P. Marmon, Indianapolis, $130,000 C. W. Fairbanks, Indianapolis. $100,000 Eli Lilly, Indiunapolis, $100,000. Quite a long Jist of well known men are insured for sums ranging downward from $100,000 to $50,000.

'THE fabulous goose that laid the polden egg, and was slaughtered by |ts avaricious owner that he might possess himself of all the eggs at puce, has had a modern prototype in. the great auk, but this wonderful bird has also ceased to exist as a distinct species. The eggs of the great auk are now more valuable than the fruit of the fabled goose, as the few existing specimens readily sell for more than their weight in •gold. Only sixty-eight esrgs are known to scientists in the world, and but ten of thesp are in perfect condition. The first recorded sale of the great auk's egg was in 1853, •when' they sold at $150 each. The last sale of record was in London a few weeks ago, when a specimen brought $1,550. The auk became extinct in

At Toledo a case of smallpox developed among the Sullivan Commonwealers. The man was sent to the pest house and the army was given an hour to leavo tho city.

A practical joker sent Commander Coxey an invitation to come to Philadelphia and dine with tho famous Clover Club. Coxey declined, but afterwards reconsidered anl suddenly appeared at the hotel. The swells were horrified and refused to receive him. Finally Coxey raised the Cloveritos' hair by seridinz a note to Secretary Deacon telling him that he was a "gentleman and not a tramp," and demanding to know why he had been insulted. Then Deacon told of the awful predicament the club had been placed in. Coxey forgave them and went DIT with some congenial sports.

Labor unions of Kansas City are offerinsr Commonwealers' army aid and Gen, Sanders savs his men will march to that city some iv thN week.

A PRETTY EXPERIMENT,

Showing in a Striking Way that Glass Is Electrified by liubbing.

Philadelphia Press.

Cut- from a fourfold piece of paper an arrow shaped like that in our illustration then place on the point of a needle, vertically situated, this arrow at its central part (which will

TIIE MAGIC AltllOW.

be at the meeting of the two folds), but without causing the needle to pierce the paper. The head of the needle should be driven into a cork, and the whole covered (as in illustration) by a common glass, well dried before the fire Then announce that, without moving the glass, and consequently without touching the paper arrow, you will make it turn on its pivot, and that its point will stop opposite the person who mav be indicated to you. To do this nothing more is required than to rub the side of the glass facing this person with a piece of woolen cloth, which will cause the arrow to turn round till its point stops opposite the part that is rubbed. This is a striking way of impressing the mind with the fact that glass is electrified by rubbing, which causes it to attract light bodies, and this is how the point of the paper arrow is drawn toward it.

In Portland. Me., an umbrella mender stepped on a tilting plank an a wharf and dropped into the water. A sponge vender did the same act, and fell on ton of him. One wa3 tangled in the wires of his *tock and the other was weighted 3own by his sponges, and both cam* aear drowning.^.
