A landlord recently met a surprise in
a guest who had come down from. the
country with his wife for a short pleas-
ure trip and had been assigned to one
of the best rooms in the house. During
their first night at the hotel their neigh-
bors were kept awake by a fearful
"row" between the new arrivals. It
raged long and loud, and it was evident
that the husband had forgotten Bulwer
and fine sentiment and had laid his
hands on his wife not in the way of kind-
ness. The whole hotel was scandalized,
and when the couple appeared in the
Morning, the lady with a widespread
black eye and other marks of conjugal
attentions the proprietor told them they
nrust leave.
"Oh, come now, landlord, you don't
mean that. We like your house, we like
our rooms, and we don't want to go."
"But I can't hare you whipping your
wife here. Every guest will leave. I
won't have such things in my house,"
persisted the bordface, regarding with
indignant pity the lady's bruised face
and half closed eye.
"Come now, landlord, seems to me
you're a little hasty. We had a little
disturbance last night, but that doesn't
°cater every night. It might not happen
again in a week -in a month maybe,"
expostulated the guest appealingly.

Stilling the Wild Waves.
A German physician has been making a
series of experiments to test -the compara-
tive value of different kinds of oil for the
purpose of stilling the waters. He declares
that petroleum. or paraffin is of no use
whatever end oline oil of little value. On
Ole other hand he says that rapeseed oil
and oil of turpentine have considerable ef-
fect, but the most effective of all oils is
train oil. Not satisfied with these experi-
ments, he then set to work with other fetty
materials and reports that he found a solu-
tion of soap to be far superior as a wave
stiller to any kind ok oil. He says that
only a very Celia solution of soap is re-
quired, about one part of soap to a then -
sand parts of water.
The Final Smashup.
Dr. 3. T. 13oyd of Indianapolis has added
his voice to that of Lieutenant Totten and

that the British Chronological society, cone,
posed of noted scientific men, has arrived
at the same conclusions as those reached by
faeutent Totteo end hitoself, and that all
prophecy pointe to 1899 as the date of final
smashup.
