An Electric Heating Pad. The fact that asbestos plays a re markably nsef al part in electrical work is not generally recognized. For pur poses of insulation this unique mate rial meets the most exacting require ments, and its nso by electricians is daily increasing. Its latest applica tion is in the "electrothorm," tho new device which has already begnn to take the place of hot water bottles in hospitals and invalid chambers. The electrotherme is a flexible sheet or pad composed of asbestos, in which elec tric wires are embeded. When these wires are connected to any source of electric current a constant and uniform degree of heat is genera ted. For this connection the socket of an electric lamp is. ordinarily found most convenient, but where the lightning current is not available batteries oan be used. The pad is found a great convenience in the re lief of chilliness, cold feet, etc., as well as in cramps aud other looal pains and general hospital practice. By its use the risk and discomfort of fre quent changes of temperature inci dent to the renewal of ordinary hot applications aro entirely obviated. It can b.e moistened without injury, and it can be made to give tho effect of a poultice or moist heat by being ap plied ovor one or mora thicknesses of flannel. It can be used by any one perfect safety, and its simplicity and convenience wherever the application or artificial heat is dosired rendars it especially valuable for medical use. The regu lation of the temperature is effected by a conveniently placed switch. Fads can thus be maintained at ap proximately 130 degrees, 175 degrees and 220 degrees Fahrenheit, when cov ered with ordinary bed clothing, but these temperatures can be modified by tho interposition of a blanket, or raised by additional covering. This new adaptation of the principle of electric heating is made in various forms, from the simple pad, which lends itself to all ordinary uses, and the wicker-covered mat or foot-warm er, tu a cape-like covering, which will completely enwrap the neok and the upper part of the body.

Tlie Major's Antipathy. ET EVERARD JACK APPLETON. HE Major carno slowly down the steps of the Veteran Club house and turned home ward. The day was a warm one and tho Major's wounds were apt to worry him a good deal in hot weather, but he held his handsome old head none the less high. Markham, one of the founders of the club itself, watched him go for a moment, and then turned to Altman, who sat near him. "One man in a hundred is the Ma jor," said he, "one man in a hundred." "Yes," agreed the other' "but what has he been saying this afternoon?" "Nothing out of the ordinary," re plied Mirkhara, "I was only thinking of his past generally. I believe that he was the best all-arouud soldier that I ever knew. Ho has the greatest an tipathy for anything bordering on frivolity in military affairs, as yon probably know, and he declares these boys do nothing but' juay soldier' as if they were fifteen years youuger than they really are. " "But doesn't he see the good side of the question?" asked Altman. "I suppose he docs, but he thinks the Guards should be composed of more caoable men - workingmen who can stand a great deal, and not aristo crats." "But-" "Pray don't think I am supporting the Major's views, my dear Altmau. "When 1 remarked that the Guard had been ordered to the mines, he said : 'I feel sorry for the young men them selves, but more sorry for the State. It ought to send experienced men to such places if they ever hope to en force the laws rigidly and quickly.* Very firm in his beliefs is the Major, and the strongest ono ho has, however wrong it may seem to us, is that the Governor's Guards in its present state is a useless organization." "For a stranger's opinion that might pass," said Altman, "but the Major ought to know better. And I'm told, too, that the oflicers are all excellent swordsmen." "Yes," said Markham, "so I've heard, and all of which I pointed ont to him. But you can't shake the Ma jor, as I 3aid." " "Well," returned Altman, picking np his paper again, "it gives him something to talk about, anyway." But neither he nor the Major's old comrade knew the real reason of his last outburst against the Guards in question ; for that reason, in the form of a square 6heet of note paper, lay in the Major's inside pocket, and it con sisted of hastily written but entirely earnest oner tor hts daughter's hand in marriage. And the young man who took such a liberty was none other than the First Lieutenant of the Governor's Guards. Lieutenant Halloway was not a dis agreeable young man ; in faot, he was quite the opposite. He came from the South and of a soldiering family, his father having lost his life at Cold Harbor during the Civil War ; he wa3 interested in a well established busi ness situated in the heart of the city ; his family pedigree was a long one, and his own character and record spotless. "He doesn't want my answer for a week, doesn't he?" muttered the old soldier, as he marched on homeward. "Well, he shan't get it! I'll think it over, as he asks me to, and not make a hasty decision, but I can tell him right now what it will bo. No, em phatically !" Had the Major's good little wife been living herself, sho would have pointed out long ago tho possibility of of this contingency arising, and would have prepared him for the blow, which must fall some day, and leave him childless, while some enterprising young man gained a wife ; but Mrs. Major had died many years ago, and left the Major tvith the pretty child to bring up alone. From a vivacious headstrong, pretty little girl, Dorothy had grown up into a beautiful youngwoman, with her mother's, sweet face and her fath er's will and determination. So to-day, when he found th? Ipiier waiting for him at the club, and to be forgiven for railing against anything, especially the Uuards, when it was re membered that one of them was the vandal, bent upon robbing tho cid iwldier of ais daughter. Entering the open do^r of his hand some house, he called as cheerfully as he could: "Dorothy, daughter!" "Yes, daddy," came the answer from somewhere upstairs, and the next moment the face he loved peeped over the banister and a small forefinger was shaken warningly at him. "Ten minutes late, sir," she cried, trying to be very severe; "what does it mean?" Then she ran down the stair?, her pretty face dimpling with happy smiles. "It means, little girl," replied the Major, slowly, taking her bright face between his two kindly old hands, "it means that my daughter has gono-" "Gone where, daddy?" said she, af ter one glance at him, for she felt what waa coming. "Over to the onemy," returned the Major. Then, as they went arra in arm into the library, he added : "Dorothy, Dorothy, to think of you deserting at chis time." "But I'm not f deserting dear, I'm not !" she cried. Then she asked, slowly : "What-what did he say? ' "Nothing," replied the Major, shortly; "he wasn't soldier enough for that, so he wrote it." "It was not because he wasn't sol dier enough, papa, but because he didn't have time. And now you call him a coward-and-and he's up to Sose wicked mitlers are, and be-killed-" ie rest was unfinished, for thc d welled up into the pretty d the next minute the contrite Major was apologies and declarations of better behavior in the future. "He isn't a coward, daddy," mur mured Doughy from the depths of tho Major's shoulder, where she had taken refuge again, "and-" "My dear child, I didn't say he was, " remonstrated the harassed old soldier; "and you mustn't cry any more." . But all through supper, though she chatted nnd laughed BO brightly, tho Major's old heart was still a trifle sore, for he kept saying to himself: "Only half her love is raine, and the rest belongs to a Governor's Guard !" That night, after the evening had worn away and tho daughter of the house had goue to bed, tho Major climbed thc stairs, when he heard a patter of small bare feet coming along tho entry, and the next moment a white-robed little figure stood beside him. ."You aren't angry with me, aro you, daddy dear?" she asked, hugging him lovingly, "and you- won't feel badly about it, will you?" "Of course I won't," replied the Major, laughingly, * 'but mu back to bed, roy dear girl, or yon'U catch cold. Of course, you couldn't expect me to feel very gay," he added again, "when I'm about to lose a daughter now could you ?" "But you aren't," she answered quickly ; "you're going to find a son -Tom says so himself." Two days later the Guards were in tho city again. Tho night they reached the mines an attack had been madeuponthemby the desperate strik ers, and though they were taken by sur prise, their officers had not lost their heads. Using a row of salt bags as breastworks, they received the charge and repulsed tho enemy. Then the Guard had captured fifteen of their principal mon, driven the rest back to their homes, and waited until the Sec ond Regiment arrived on the scene to relieve them. Tho latter having ap peared at last, the Guards were or dered home with their prisoners. The papers were, of course, full of the story of the fight, and the fact that Lieutenant Halloway was mentioned as one of the most efficient and col lected officers there, did not tend to harden the Major against his would be son-in-law. He had also received a painful, though not serious wound, in his left arm from the knife of a murderously inclined miner, which necessitated his carrying the arm in a sling. Later in the day all sorts of rumors began to fly about the town concern ing the injurod feelings of tho miners in regard to the imprisonment of their ringleaders, and as night came on, the report that they would come to the city in force and endeavor to take their men from the jail wa3 gaining ground every minute. "That is nonsense, plain and sim ple," said the Captain of the Guards when approachod by anewepaper man on tho subject. "The miners have had a doso they will not soon forget. The only danger thc city now stands in is from men out of work, who are more deBperato by hunger and want, and who will take to robbing if they cannot find any other way to live." And that very night tho Captain's words were proven. . The Major and Dorothy had been to the theater and wera returning home. The night was warm and soft, and the moon shone so bright and clear that the old soldier and his pret ty daughter .walked on another square before going in to enjoy the night. The Major was about to say something about the stillness of it all, when from behind them there came a light tread, and the next moment, without the slightest warning, tho kindly old sol dier was staggering forward from a stunning blow on his head. With a little cry o? terror Dorothy caught at him as ho fell, but she was quickly grasped from behind, and a hoarse voioo whispered in her ear : "Scream, aa' I'll choke the life out o' yo!" "Go through his pookets, Jim," continued tho fellow, who was now binding Dorothy's onus to her sides ; "ho won't come to right away, but we'vo got no time to lose. " As he spoke, he picked up tho short, heavy stick he had used with such murder ous efiect a moment before, and as ho stooped to do so Dorothy sprang away from him and dashed toward the cor ner. With a muttered oath the man rushed after her. Despite her clinging skirts and im prisoned arras, the brave girl had gained the corner and was just turning down it, however, while her pursuer was still several yards away, when she ran plump into a a tall, soldierly young man, who was coming up tho street with a long, easy stride. "What-why, Dorothy-you!" he exclaimed, as he looked down into her white face ; bnt-he got no further, for the man was upon them. With an other fierce exclamation of disgust and anger, for he recognized the Lieu tenant as he turned the corner, and utterly desperate as to the cons? quences, he threw himself at the vjung office. Kalloway stepped quietly aside as he saw him coming ; then, as the footpad missed his aim and hurled himself past tho Lieuten ant, the latter struck him a sharp, hard, scientific blow just bolow the ear, and doubling up like.an empty sack ho fell to th3 pavement without a souud. Then the young soldier sprang to Dorothy's side. .'What in Heaven's name is the meaning of this?" he cried, freeing her arras. "There are two of them-he struck papa-back there !" Bhe anewerod, pointing to tho spot where tho other highwayman was still bonding over tho Major. Without stopping to question her further, her lover ran quickly up the dark street, and made out the prostrate form of the Major and the kneeling one of his assailant. As he carno upon them, the latter sprang to his feet, and seizing his own club ho ?truck at the Lieutenant vic iously, but the soldier was too quick for him. Like a flash of light tho slendei, tough sword leaped from its scabbard, and as the man's blow fell it was par ried neatly by the officer's only weapon. Again the stick was raised and swung about his head, and as thc man moved his face came into the sin gle patch of moonlight that shoue ' through the thick boughs above, and Halloway laughed grimly as ho recog nized his antagonist-the man who had wounded him at the mines. "So it is you, is it, Scarry?" said the officer. There was no reply to Holloway's remark, but faster und faster rained the blows of the freuzicd mun. i At the fiist clash of wood and metal tho Major hud opened his eyes and struggling to his feet he leaned against oue of the treen near by and watched the little battle going on be fore him. "I am sorry to hurt you, my friend," said Lieutenant Halloway, ? > . -_-_-^-; coolly, "but I really think you've done enough to-night,; and" in order to render you harmless I'll have to-" Ho did not finish^the sentence in words, but before the other could re cover from his last misdirected stroke he was reeling backward with a sting ing blow from the Hat of the Lieuten ant's sword. The Major, though still dazed, held out his hand to Tom, and wrung it heartily. "I hope that villain did Jiot hurt yon badly, Major," said he; "and as soon as I find a policeman and get these two pleasing individuals in the hands of tho law before they come to themselves, I'll be back to help you home, if you need it." And without waiting for au answer, he hurried down the street, soon returning with a city officer whom he met sauntering leisurely along in their direction. Then ho and Dorothy and the Major went home. Though the Lieutenant's sweetheart had kept back her toars all along there was a suspicions moisture iu her pretty oyes as they passed into the hall, but sho was smiling bravely, nevertheless. . As the old housekeeper bustled off to get something to put on tho Major's wound-whichjnckiiy was not a serious one-the turee 6tood looking at each other beneath the chandelier for a minute. Then tho Major took the Lieutenant's hand once again, and put Dorothy's little one into it, with a kindly smile. "It was one of the finest bits of fencing I ever saw, my boy !" he said, with only a slight tremor in his pleas ant old voice, "and a man who can handle a sword as yon can iu these degenerate days, deserves anything another can give him. So take her, Tom, aud God bless you both !" And this is how the Major's antipa thy was overcome at last-Now York Advertiser. Some Feathered Jokers. Have birds a sense of humor?

Ono day a? tho writer was watching a- wood thrush in a quiet grove where it was enjoying life in its own way, with oc casional ?purts of song to enliven the occasion, a catbird appeared on a branch not very far from the thrush, but a little below it. Just then the thrush began to sing. Instantly the catbird spread its legs a bit, shook its wings slightly clear of its body, cocked one eye up at the thrush and gave a cry that must havo sounded derisive to tho dullest ear. The thrush stopped short and instantly the catbird took up the thrush's strain ia a voice that was simply ridiculous. At that tho thrush eyed tho catbird calmly until quiet was restorod and then started in once more on its song. Again it was interrupted by the mocker, and thia performanco was repeated- a third time, when the thrush gave it up and flew away.

How He Snve.1 His Hut. There is a good story told of the late Dr. Matthews Duncan, the specialist, wheu ho was a strugghug young prac titioner who was just begiuning to bo takon notice of by the world. He wai called in consultation with soveral eminent men of tho profession, and, for the occasion, he donned his boat silk hat. Being poor, ho could not go in his carriage, nor could he afford a cab, and as the day was fine he left his umbrella at home, for the double reason that he did not think he should need it and it was a particularly shabby one, and walked. The consul tation lasted a long time, and when at last it was over, Matthews Duncan saw with consternation that it was raining, and remembered that his um brella was at homo. What was to be done? A now hat meant something considerable to him in those days, and so did even a cab fare. Suddenly a thought struck him. Making an excuse to the effect that he had an appointment, he left the big medical guns, and, proceeding down stairs, took the hat of one of them whom he knew to ha7e come in a car riage, leaving his own new silk hat in its place. Then he walked home in the rain. When the owner of the hat finally came down and saw the ex change, he congratulated himself ou his luck, and putting it on, drovo home in his carriage, and BO kept it dry. His exultation, however, was next morning turned to grief, for Dr. Duncan sent him his hat, with a note full of apologies for having made the mistake, and asked him to give to his servant the hat which ho had taken home in his carriage. Of course, under tho circumstances, there was nothing for the great man to do except to return Matthews Duncan his new and undamaged hat, and to receive in exchange hi? own, which had been made a kind of scapegoat for it, with as much grace as the circum stances permitted of.-Now York Post.

Kickapoo Indians are very fond of degs, both alive and fricaseed. Around their tepees or wickiups or Queen Anne's, or whatever they call their abodes, says tho Kansas City Star, there are always half a dozen wolfish dogs. An Indian dog hates a whit? man as far as he can see him, and loves an Indiau as far a<? he can smell him, and that is saying a good deal. Whon a white man driving through the Kickapoo country sees a dog by the roadside his natural impulse is to whistle in a friendly way, lor some how in a wilderness of prairie or for est a dog is a comfortable sight. But the instant you whistle to an Indian dog he turns his tail and ia out of sight quicker than if he had been kicked. An Indian never whistles afc his dog wh?n ho wants his beast to come to him ; he places his tongue against his teeth and hisses. The colored population of Okla homa have almost as many dogs as the Indians. Those who live in the black jaok sand hills are dog rich. Theso dogs have a deep rooted aversion for tho whito man also. When au old colored cotton planter comes to town some of the dogs are sure to follow, and when the old m^n walks up town tho dog stays right between his feet liko a country dog under a farm wagon. And whenever a white man comes within snapping distance tho dog gets busy. A Considerate Servant. A young lady, lately anl happily married, has a literary man for a hus band, who does all his work afc home. It is very good work, and pays well.

Of coarse Bhe saw tho husband about the house a good deal, but her mistress was not prepared for tho following: "Ogscuso mo, Mrs. Blank, but I liko to say somedings." "Well, Rona?" Tho girl blushed, fumbled her apron, stammered, and then replied : "Veil, you pay mo twonty-fivo shil lings a mont-" "Andi can't pay any more," said the mistress, decisively. "It's not dot," responded the girl; "but I bo willing to take twenty till -till yonr husband gets work." Household Words. Weird Denizen ot Chicago Water. So many remarkable and weird things have been told about Chicago's drinking water that peo ple might bo justified in thinking the matter just a joke; but it isn't.

Highest of all in Leavening Poi Speed, of Electricity:-' The speed of electricity under tho most,' favorable, conditions is now es tablished to be 180,000 miles a second. What this enormous ppeed implies is somewhat dimly suggested by an illus tration recently used by the emineut scientist, Sir Robert Bell. Suppose that a row of telegraph posts 25,000 miles long were erected around the earth at Ihe equator. Suppose that a wire were stretched npoD these posts for this circuit of 25,000 miles, and that then another complete circuit was taken by tho same wire around tbs same pasts, and then another, and 3-et another. In fact, let the wire be wound no fewer than seven times com pletely about this great globe. We should Ihen find that an electric sig nal sent into the wire at one eQd would accomplish the circuit in ono second of time. A New Air Ship. An electrician, Mr. J. Cooley, of Howell8ville, N.
