ARKSDALE. ' 8HE FOILED A PLOT. Bow Mme. All?onl rrnstrntefl Scheme to His* Iler. "Once tipon a time, when Mme. AlbooJ wrisut Trieste," writes Henry C. Lahoe lo " Famous singers 01 xooay, sao wui Informed of the existcncc of a plot to hlsi her off the stage. Having ascertained the names of her detractors and whero thoy wcro to be found, she donned malo attire, k> which her short hair and robust figure helped to complete her di3guisc, and wont to the cafe at which the conspirators met Here she found them In full consultation, and taking a seat at a tablo sho listened to their conversation for a time. After i awhile she addressed tho leader, saying: "I hear thac you intend to piny a trick upon some one. I am very fond of a liable practical joke myself and should ba glad if you would allow me to join you on this occasion." "'With pleasuxo,' was tho reply. '"We Intend to hiss an opera singer oil the stage In Atranlnr* ' vuia " 'Xndocd! And of what is sho guilty?' " 'Oh, nothing, cxccpt that, being an Italian, 6he has sung in Munich and Vienna to German audiences, and we think 6ho ought to recoivo some castigation for her unpatriotic conduct.' "'I agree with you, and now please tell mo what I am to do.' " 'Take thi3 whistle,' sahl the leader 'At a signal to bo given at the conclusion vf the air sung by Rosina the noise will oegin, and you will have to join in.' " 'I shall bo very glad to do 60,' said 4ho singer and put the whistle in hoi pockot "In the evening the house was packed ?every seat was occupied?and the audience warmly applauded the opening numbers of the opera. In due course Mine. Alboni appearod, and at the point at which she was about to address hei tutor a few of the conspirators began to taako a disturbance, not waiting for th? signal. "Without showing any concern, Mme. Alboni walked down to the footlights, tod, holding up the whistle, which wai hung to her neck by a ribbon, she exclaimed: 'Gentlemen, are you not a littla before your time? I thought we were not to commence whistling until I had sung the air.' "For a moment a deathly stillness prevailed; then suddenly the house broke into thunders of applause, which was led bf the oonspirators themselves.'" A SEAMLESS TUBE. Vhert Are Three Operatlo&ji fcy Which It May Be Made. Henry Souther said at a recent meeting of the National Association of Mechanical Engineers that the scientific and technical designation of a tube, whether seamed 01 seamless, depended 6olely upon the tub* Itself and not upon the process followed in its manufacture. Referring to the dictionary you will find that the word'' seam* " ?"nnm *"rrV> /tnftVAri 1ESS IllUUUb V? iUiiUUU DUUUi, rr.u.iv>u wufv;? no light upon the subject. Turning to the word"6cam," it is found that it is defined as a joint, suturo, or line of union and here In tho last term wo find tho koy. A tuba Jointed in any way cannot bo seamless. If in the primary stages of its manufacture it be lap, butt or lock jointed, it cannol by any subsequent operation be deprived of tho seam and, therefore cannot bo considered when completed as being seamless. A strictly seamless tube may be made by any 0110 of threo operations?first, a billet may bo by successive steps punched into tho form of a tubo with extremely thick sides, and these may then by the ordinary drawing processes be reduced to a tubo with thin walls; next, the billet may be bored or the blank may bo cast with a holo in it and in either caso then drawx to tho required dimensions; thirdly, the tubo may bo made by the cupping process, which consists in taking a disk of tho metal, forming it into a cup shape, grad ually elongating tho cup and reducing it in diameter and finally by this means pro' ducing a tube. Each and all of these processes yield a CUbe which is absolutely seamless and about which there is and can bo no dispute. In all tubes formed with a seam the edges have first been separated,, then united, either by lap or butt wold or by some lock joint system, and in these the joint cannot be eliminated by any aftcf processes. Tho custom houses of th? United States recognize tha difference between a seam and a seamless tube. A seamless tubo is one in whioh tho walli have never been separated from the tima the metal was in a molten condition to th< time of the completion of the tube.?Iron Age. _ Spanking Convict*.

Yon may soe in any ono of perhapl a hundred shops in this city colorless, sad eyed, dingily clad women bending over lowing machines amid squalid surroundings, with no outlook save through a window opening upon a tsuruiu street. You may see in at least a score of country villages 50 id ilea from any great :ity a crowd of neatly'clad, happy looking girls and womon busied with like tasks, but amid clean and pleasant surroundings, with glimpses of a smiling landscape through every window. The Now York women, released from their toil, hasten homo to gloomy tenement lodgings and unwholesomo fare. The village girls troop from tho factory to modest but clean and pleasant homes, where food is froah and abundant. The Now York sewing machine woman ia an insignificant unit in a great community. Sho fcols daily tho pressure of her fellows that are ready to take her place and her earnings. Sho hears from embittered men and women talk of the rights of labor and the greed of wealth. She knows that her earnings would not keep some of her rich sisters in cut flowers. Whenever she stirs oat of her own dingy quarter, it is to eee at every step evidenco of the luxury in whicn some livo and of the contrast between her lot and theirs. The villago factory girl has hardly heard that thero is a labor problem. Her $200 or $250 a year, earned at the sewing machine, clothes her -well, procures for her small luxuries andhelfis to keep the family above want. . She makes little pleasure trips hither and yon when work is slack and looks forward with confidence to marriage and a home of her own, clean, swaet and comfortable. She never sees among her fellow townsfolk one who has uny essential comfort that she lacks, and nine women oat of ten in the village have less to spend on dross than she has. She never sees a hungry or ragged person, unless it be an occasional tramp, and she hardly grasps the meaning of what she now and then hears about the lives of the poor in great ci.ties. The Now York slave to the sowing machine lives half an hour from the heart of tho western world and may, if sho will, on any night see Broadway and its throngs by electrio light. The village factory girl believes that she would be happy to give up all her comforts for the other's privilege of seeing at will the splendors of the great city. Tho Now York sewing woman would not, if she could, change places with the village factory girl.?New York Sun. A Turfman'8 Tale. A New Jersoyman told me a good story the other day on ono of our foremust turfmeu, a inaD whose name is /\ftonor fV?fin fV>nf. nf piilitru VAkWUVA VUMU VMMW w. any other connected with racing in America. A good many years ago this tmi'mun, who was not then deep in the racing business, asrived in Jersey City with a trainload of mustangs from the plains of Texas. He knew nothing ofthe laws of the state nor of th? ordi* nances of the city. He knew that he wanted to sell his mustangs and thought tho best way to do it was to sell them at auction. Being somewhat gifted in speech, he determined that he would be his own auctioneer. The sale started out well. Fair prices were realized. Suddenly it was interrupted by policemen, who demanded a view of our friend's license. "Licenso?" he said amazed- "What license? I haven't any license of any kind." "Woll, you can't sell horses in this sity without a license. You'll have t? oorno along. No monkey business with us." Of course he went along, but he waa lucky enough to find at court a friend (a lawyer), who went bail for him in the sum of $50. Then tho lawyer said : "A license costs $2o0. You are under bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale, collect your money and .skip out. Give mo $50 to settle the forfeited bond, and you are $200 ahead of the game." It waa done accordingly. The turfman and his friend met in the St. James hotel lately and laughed over the joke. ?New York Press. _________ | C/utting It Short.
