Aooidental Invention*.
The ancients believed that there was
a certain kind of mineral substance in
existence by means of which all the
common metals could be turned into
gold. This supposed substance was
called the philosopher's stone, and the
alchemists of classic times and during
tho middle ages spent much time and
labor in search of this wonderful sub
stance.
Of course, since nothing of the kind
ever existed, it was never found, but it
is worth remembering that some of tho
most notable inventions were discover
ed In this wide search. It was in look
ing for the philosopher's stone that the
German chemist, Botticher, stumbled
upon tho secret of making the beauti
ful Dresden porcelain. Roger Bacon,
in the same way, discovered the com
position of gunpowder. Geber found
the properties of acids; Van Ileimont
discovered the nature of gas, and Dr.
Glauber found the secret of making the
salts which now bear his name.—Co

Printers and High Hats.
In no trade, writes a correspondent,
hns the fall from favor of tbe top hat
been more marked than among print
ers. The old time composltoiv-the
"case hand," as he Is now termed to
distinguish him from the linotype op
erator—never forgot that he was tho
aristocrat of the labor world, entitled,
as ho proudly claimed, alone among
old time craftsmen to wear u sword,
the mark of the gentleman. A quarter
of a century back top hats were com
mon wear In printing offices. They
are found still in quiet backwaters of
the trade. But what would happen if
the linotype operator came to his
"mangle" nowadays wearing one J lie
would probably be pelted to death with
"slags." If he owns ono he keeps It for
funerals, christenings and weddings.
One hat I know of has already com

was minus the hat of state.—London

! Plaintiff and
Defendant
By OSCAR COX
Having received a note from my
cousin. Belle Archer, that she wished
to see me very particularly, I went to
her house at once. I found her on the
rear porch in a hammock reading a
novel. She did not rlso to receive me,
nor did she lay down her novel, but
pointed to a letter lying on a wicker
table. I took It up and perused it It
read as follows:
Mlsa Arabella Archer:
Dear Madam—We beg to Inform you
that Mr. Edward Herbert Angell has re
tained our eervlccs, directing us to enter
suit against you for the sum of twenty
five thousand dollars ($25,000) for breach
of promise. We should bo pleased before
doing bo to hear from you with reference
to settling the matter out of court, thus
avoiding both publicity and expense. We
are, very respectfully, your obedient serv
ants,
GYMCRACK, SHNNER & MUCHMORE
I read this letter not only with sur
prise, but with a smile. I believe there
have been cases of a man suing a wo
man for breach of promise, but they
have been rare. Having finished read
ing the epistle, I looked up at Belle,
but she seemed more interested In her
book than what the letter involved for
her. Nor was I nble to engage her at
tention till she had finished the chap
ter she was readitit;. 'Mien I said:
"I dare say you have deserved this."
"I dare say 1 have."
"You would not hesitate to Jilt an
angel."
"That's what I am accused of having
done."
"Perhaps If you Bend the plaintiff a
letter expressing contrition he will
withdraw the suit."
"Perhaps he would, but I'm not con
trite."
I thought for a few minutes, then,
changing ray tone, said:
"I suppose it must be treated seri
ously. Do you wish me to act for you
In the matter?"
"I do."
"What evidence has Mr. Angell that
you have consented to marry him?"
"I don't know that he has any."
"You mean that you have been so
reckless in your numerous flirtations
that you have not kept track of the
men you have accepted and those you
have refused?"
"That's about it"
"What course shall I pursue In this
case?"
"Oh, settle it as best you can. It
won't beggar me to pay at all."
Considering that Miss Archer was
worth several hundred thousand dol
lars this was true. Angell was worth
a million.
"I don't suppose," 1 said, "the plain
tiff wants money."
"No; lie wants to squeeze me."
"What!"
"lie wants to make me throw over
my other suitors for him."
"Oh!"
"lie thinks he can bluff me."
"And you don't propose to be bluffed."
"So, I don't You Just write his
lawyers for me that I'll pay the amount
sued for entire and don't consider it
any compliment that the damages
named are so small"
I wrote Messrs. Gymcrack, Spinner
& Much more that my client would
pay the amount claimed. In due time
a reply came from them Inclosing a
typewritten apology that Miss Archer
was to sign acknowledging that she
had acted very dishonorably toward
the plaintiff, humbly begged his for
giveness and "she will keep her con
tract with him." Belle signed it, but
put the word "not" between the words
"will" and "keep."
It did not appear to me that Mr. An
gell was making much progress in Ails
game of bluff. I was curious to know
what his next move would be, for I did
not see any move that he could make.

reply Kid eiupaed ai.U f received noth
ing Uko a continuance of the light nor a
disposition to capitulate I made up my
mind thnt It would be a case of attri
tion. F was convinced that the couple
were in love with each other and one
of the two would give in in time.
Which would it be?
One day X received a note from An
gell's attorneys to the effect that since
their client was about to bo married n
return of his letters to Miss Archer
would be appreciated. I took the note
to Belle, and I s,hW by her expression
when she rend it that she was beaten.
"This caps thi' bluff's climax." I re
marked to give bcr courage.
"That we don't know. He's just moan
enough to marry somebody to spite
me."
"What will you do next?"
"Please write Ihe lawyers that I will
deliver Mr. Angell's letters to him iu
person. But 1 shall expect an apology
from him for putting this affair be
tween us into the hands of lawyers."
"Humph!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing. I think your decision very
sensible."
"Sensible? Of course it's sensible.
What do I want with the letters of a
man I don't intend to marry? And 11m
I not entitled to an apology?"
"Certainly."
A meeting was arranged between j
plaintiff and defendant at uiy office I
was supposed to be present, but when
Belle came In with a satchel full of let
ters I slid out a back door. I remained
away an hour, and when 1 returned a
winning student in the office told me
that after much billing and cooing the
lovers had de|»arled radiantly happy.
I wonder if Angell thought he was
deceiving his attorney as Belle sup
posed she was drccivlng mo.
The Sextant.
The sextant, an instrument which
has been so necessary to polar explora
tion, was used by Arabian astronomers
as far back as 1)05. The Arabian in
strument had a radius of fifty-nine feet
nine Inches. The modern instrument,
which Is small enough to be conven
iently held in the hand, was Invented
In 1730 by Thomas Godfrey of Phila
delphia and Captain Hadley of the
British navy.

A Caustic Lawyer.
At Bodmin assizes once a barrister
while pleading was Interrupted by the
Judge:
"Mr. Carter, you are wasting the
time of the court."
"Time of the court!" retorted the
truculent veteran, glaring fiercely at
the bench, "l'our lordship means—your
lordship's dinner.'''
The Judge threw up his hands in
despair, and Carter continued his ha
rangue In peace.
Tho same redoubtable advocate was
on another occasion defending a man
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses.
"False pretenses!" said he, with fine
scorn. "Why, we all make them ev
ery day, barristers and solicitors and
Judges—the whole lot of us! Talk
about the purity of the Judicial er
mine!" Here he pointed derisively to
the learned Judge, who sat cowering
on the bench. "Why, it's only rabbit
skin!"
Shouts of laughter greeted this ir
reverent statement, which investiga
tion would probably show to be literal
ly true.—London Tit-Bits.

The back aches at times with a

use to rub or apply a plaster to the
back if the kidneyB are weak. Al
