The above statement may ai rar to be "an improbable paradox," but it is a fact nevertheless, that a gas is now made of pure water, and that that same gas is n splendid fuel. The principle of the manufacture of these water gases is to pass qua pura over red-hot irons, thereby resolving it into the two inflamnble substances known as hydrogen end carbonic oxide gas.

ROMANCE OF A SONG.

How the Popular Irish Ilallail, "Robin Adair," Came to He Written. Of all the old Imlisli ballads none Is better known nor more popular than "Itobln Adair." It is a sung whose pathos has appealed to listeners In evry land where the Knglbh tongue is spoken, and unlike most of the old songs of its kind it has not been crowded out of recollection by newer melodies. Although usually classed as an English ballad and sometimes referred to as of Scotch origin. "I'ohiu Adair Is In reality neither Engü-h nor Scot oik but a genuin; Irish ballad. The air. through wikieh ns well as the words the tears run. is based on a very ancient melody of similar style known as "Eileen A root!, and dating back beyond 14."0. The more modern of the twj songs has its origin in an actual oec" recce. Thre was a real Ur.hin A'11' an Irish gentleman who claim' , e" scent from ihi? l-smond i.-jl''1'au1-'5-He was a hand-.nne. dah! Juus fellow, and i: is m woiuW ,I,:lt, Jf ly Candine Keppell fell in 1' w,la "" even though she" was r ihuighter of the powerful earl f-lruiarle and he Avas as as ,lri'iover:dal fc'.iuivh mouse.

She pined for her lover and her health became so poor that at last the father relented, as most fathers in romantic stories do at the end, and Lady Caroline Keppell became Lady Caroline Adair. Adair, who was a surgeon of more or hss ability, afterward became jiiite distinguished in his profession. All this happened in the last century, the song having been written in 17."S. Strangely enough, Its prototype, "Eileen Aroon." was also the outcome of very romantic circumstances, the tradition biiig that it was written -by Caiol o'Daly. after ii.'s sweetheart. Eileen, had h ien compelled by her family to marry Ids rival. -Troy Times. A Japanese Hostelry. When one enter; a Japanese hotel far away from a treaty port he passes through the spotless kitchen, where landlord, took and waitress all salute him with: "Veil have come with honorable e;-rll ness. Here. too. his departure is hail ed with: "Please return with august earlir.ess." The food prepared in the cb an kitchen, however, the traveler will not like. Especially will ! miss the meat tc which be is accm-tomed. unless he ij near the sea, when abundant llsh wih be served. Tourists often, perhaps usually, take with them k.'iive:-, forks, r-poous, breau and canned meat. At the hotel they find neither these nor chairs, i.or tables, nor milk, not coffee, nor beds. Nor will he, unless tht hotel is wry small, find quicf. Eish, rice, lily bulbs, boiled chestnuts and other articles of the sort disposed of, the evening draws on and the bath is ready. This is in nearly the most public view and filled wkh boiling ho. water. The first ure belongs, as a matter ot honor, to the most distinguished guest, though he is bound to protest that some one eis should piceeCe him. Ami then the whole household use the bath in turn. Next morning there are again the fish, rice and the queer vegetables. No coffee, no bread, plenty ot tea, no milk. The Stamp Drawer. 1 once talked with a man who had served a term in prison for embezzlement. He said that the til; t step in hi downfall was the stamp drawer. The clerks in that store, as In many, if not In most stores, helped themselves to slampa from this drawer for their private letters, using the lirm's stationery also. What more natural than tha they should take a few more stamps If they were ordering sonic trilie by mail? Having made the start ami seeing no trouble therefrom, h.nv easy It was to take a larger amount when a more expensive article was wanted The step from the dollar's wotth i stamps to the dollar itself was not a very long one, and then to larger amounts, followed at length by discovery and prison! This was the man's story, and it set me to lldnkiug.-Hard-ware. Jlloomcr iu FrjKco. Kloomersaro regulated by law in San Francisco, and just how far the new woman may go in adopting the garb of man has been detined from the 1oneh by a police justice. A young woman was arraigned for wearing knickerbockers wbib' wheeling. There is a municipal ordinance which prescribes that "no person shall appear in a put 11c place iu a diet s not belonging to his or her sex." The court held that knickerbockers pertained exclusively to tho male sex. Ills honor Intimated that had the knickerbockers been a little less well tilting ami expanded sufliciently to be called bloomers 'hey would have passed muster. In San Francisco bloomers must be baggy. dear as 31 ud. One of the undergraduate of (Jirton College, the English Vassar. having inadvertently changed umbrellas wit'a fellow student. Is said to have evolv rd this note: "MIsh presents In? compliments to Mis , and begs to eay she has an umbrella which isn't mine; so If you have one which isn't hers, no doubt they are the ones." It Is hard If ieople do not appreciate you, but It Is worse if your undershirt klceves keep pulling up.

The inventor has already attempted

to make these horseshoes of paper pulp, adding chalk, sand, turpentine and linseed oil in such quantities that the material is impermeable to moisture. This composition possesses the necessary elasticity and toughness for the purpose; it can be pressed in molds and dried afterwards, or cut out of blocks of the mass and placed under strong pressure. The rhex s made by pasting together paper sheets are preferable, as thev are stronger than these made of the comnre:sed material. These shoes i can be fastened to the horse's hoof cither by nails, as usual, or be cemented with .rlue. consisting of gum of ammonia one part and gutta-percha two parts. Paper World. Egs. The Persians and Kornaus exchanged eggs at New Year. The Egyptians made the egg a symbol of human renovation after the Deluge. The Ehsts still believe that 'im k eggs" have little birds in them. The Franks under the Capet dynasty exchanged eggs at the vernal equinox. In Suffolk, eggs laid on (?ool Eriday never become bad, and are a sure preventive of colic. In Jcrniany. eggs laid on !ood Friday can extinguish lire, especially if thrown in backward. The Kornaus made it a means of divination for ascertaining the se'x of creatures still unborn All Kornau repasts were begun with eggs. Hence the expression of "ah WrO," now signify hi .".j the beginning. The .lews math an egg the type of their new life and departure from slavery in Egypt to the better Land of Promise.

Ho Was Used to It. A blind man got on a trolley car the other day and took a f eat near the door. Soon afterward a drunken man got aloard. When the couductor tried U collect the drunk's fare he refused to pay, and the conductor undertook to put him off. The drunk was a big mau and 'full of light, a ltd matters began to be pretty lively. The conductor and the obstreperous passenger wrestled for a few minute's and finally both went down together on top of the blind man. Then several other passengers went to the conductor's assistance, kicked the drunk off, picked up tue blind man and put him on the seat again. "Are you hurt?" asked one, sympathetically. "Oh, no," replied the blind man, "I'm used to riding on trolley cars, you know. But, say, don't you think that jolt was unnecessarily hard? I always expect to be thrown off my feet every time the car stops, if I am standing, but I never was thrown out of my scat before." Keing blind, he had not realized what had caused his mishap avid supposed it was due merely to th-r ordinary tumbling about of passengers that the patrons of the Kuffalo oars have become accustomed to whenever the brake is a ppl i ed . 1 u ff a Io Exp res s. In Olden Times People overlooked the importance of permanently beneficial effects and were satisfied with transient action; but now that it is generally known that Syrup of Figs will permanently cure habitual constipation, well-informed people will not buy other laxatives, which act for a time, but finally injure the system.
