RUN BY MOUSE POWER. A Tlirfryj Scntpliiimn'a Srlu-mp Kor Operatluir U« Tin-pad Ililla, Thrill I?- gi’ii i ally aiknowledxed to bf* one of the leading eharaeKTiKties of the mitiv,* of l ifishire. and it never was more forcibly exemplified than in I the person of David iimton. a native of Dunfermline, who actually proven that even mice, those acknowledged pests of mankind, could be made not only to earn their own llv'ug. hut also to yield y respectable income to their owners. AlHiut the year IS’-O this gentleman actually erected a small mill at Dun fermline for the manufacture of thread —a mill worked entirely by mice. It was while visiting Perth prison in 1812 that Mr. Hutton first conceived this remarkable Idea of utilizing mouse power. In an old pamphlet of the time. “The Curiosity Coffee Hoorn,” he gave an account of the way in which the idea dawned on him. “In the sum mer of the year 1812,” he wrote. “1 had occasion to be In Perth, and when Inspecting the toys and trinkets that were manufactured by the French pris oners In the depot there my attention was involuntarily attracted by a little toy house, with a wheel in the gable of it that was running rapidly round, impelled by the insigniticant gravity of a common house mouse. For 1 shil ling I purchased house, mouse and wheel. Inclosing it In a handkerchief, on my journey homeward I was com pelled to contemplate Its favorite amusement. But how to apply half ounce power, which is the weight of a mouse, to a useful purpose was the difficulty. At length the manufactur ing of sewing thread seemed the most practicable.” Mr. Hutton had one mouse that ran the amazing distance of eighteen miles a day. but be proved that an ordinary mouse could run ten and a half miles on an average. A halfpenny’s worth of oatmeal was sufficient for its sup port for thirty-five days, during which it ran 73d half miles. He had actually two mice constantly employed in the making of sewing thread for more than a year. The mouse thread mill was so constructed that the common bouse mouse was enabled to make atonement to society for past offenses by twist ing. twining and reeling from 100 to 120 threads a day. Sundays not except ed. To perform this task the little pedestrian had to run ten and a half miles, and this journey It performed with ease every day. A halfpenny’s worth of oatmeal served one of these thread mill culprits for the long period of five weeks. In that time It made 8,350 threads of twenty-five inches, and as a penny was paid to women for ev ery hank made In the ordinary way the mouse at that rate earned nine- pence every six weeks, just one far thing a day. or 7s. (id. a year. Taking sixpence off for board and allowing 1 shilling for machinery, there was a clear yearly profit from each mouse of G shillings. Mr. Hutton firm ly intended to apply for the loan of the empty cathedral in Dunfermline, which would have held, he calculated, 10,000 mouse mills, sufficient room being left for keepers and some hundreds of spectators. Death, however, overtook the inventor before tbis marvelous project could be carried out—Edin burgh Scotsman. SAGACITY OF MR. SAGE. WAGNER’S HOME. NOTICE OF OPENING OF BOOKS OF SUBSCRIPTRION.

How Wagner came to make Rai- reuth his home Is a rather Interesting story. lie had long dreamed of pos sessing a theater where his composi tions could be interpreted to suit Uls ideas, but bad liltle hope that the dream would ever be fulfilled. When, however, in his period of greatest de pression and loneliness he formed the friendship of the late king of Bavaria t seemed suddenly as ij all things were possible to him. In 18G7 his royal protector Instructed the celebrated architect. Gottfried Semper, to prepare the plans for the theater, which was to be built at Munich. Through po litical and professional dissensions and jealousies the f >wn council of Munich refused permission for the erection of the theater there. In 1871 Wagner visited Baireutb and, after taking counsel with the celebrated bankers, Messrs. Fonstel and Gross, decided upon a site in that city. The munici pality of the town, correctly estimating the financial advantages which would accrue, presented Wagner with two plots of laud, one for the theater and the-other for his own house. The lat ter was Immediately built, and in 1872 Wagner removed bis family from Trubchen, near Lucerne, to the new borne, Wahnfriod. The corner stone of the theater was laid on his sixtieth birthday. May 22. 1872. It was esti mated that the theater would cost 300.000 thalers (about $250,000), and this sum was very largely raised by Wagner societies throughout the world. It was completed in 1870 and dedicated with the presentation of “Der Ring des Nibelungen” on Aug. 13 of that year. Since then it has been the Mecca of the lovers of Wagnerian music from all parts of the world.

One day a young man of Russell Sage’s acquaintance—In fact, the grand son of an old friend of other days—ap proached him on the subject of a loan of $10 for two weeks and—got It. He promised faithfully to return the mon ey at a stated hour, and the promise was as faithfully kept. Mr. Sage had very little to say when he gave up the ten and quite as little when he got it back. A week or ten days later the young man came to see him again and this time asked him for $100, making all sorts of representations of what he would do with it Mr. Sage refused to ante. The young man was surprised, not to say pained. “Why,” he exclaimed, “you know I’ll pay it all right. Didn’t I say I’d have that ten for you on Monday, and wasn’t I there to the minute with it?” Mr. Sage beamed softly on the grand son of his old friend. “My boy,” he said, with no trace of anktndnesB in bis tone, “you disap pointed me once, and I don’t want you to do it again.” ”1 beg your pardon, I did not” ar gued the youth. *T said I would pay you back, and I did.” “Yes, my boy,” purred Mr. Sage, “you paid back the ten, and I never expected you would. Now, if I let you have a hundred I should expect you to pay It back, and you wouldn’t One disappointment at my time of life Is enough, my boy. Good morning.”—Col lier’s Weekly. Tree* In Jni>an Sacred to the Gods. Near every temple in Japan are cer tain trees that are supposed to be pe culiarly loved by the gods and to be sacred to them. Any one Injuring or causing to be injured one of them will bring down the wrath of the kami or god whose particular property it is. If the trees be Injured in the name of any one the kami avenges himself on that person instead. So when a girl finds that a swain’s love has cooled and she thinks revenge would be sweet she makes a straw manikin and calls it by his name. If she is very vengeful she may also make one of her hated rival. At 2 o’clock at night (called the hour of the bull) she rises, and, clad in a white nightdress only, with high clogs on her feet, her hair hanging loose and crowned with an iron tripod, on which three lighted candles are stuck, she proceeds to the shrine of the patron god of the family.

But have you ever beard any one place the blame on the teeth? Bad teeth are the direct result of insufficient application of the toothbrush, and bad eyesight, resulting from the decayed molars ex citing disturbances of the ocalar nerves, is the next Inevitable penalty. That is a fact which seems to be little knowm. “The other day 1 extracted four de cayed teeth of a young girl who was almost totally blind. Her pupils were dilated and insensible. A week after I had pulled her teeth her sight was practically restored. , Two months pre vious to this cure tKfe girl had been ex amined by an expert oculist, who. after putting her te various eye tests, designated the <muk as ‘hysterical am blyopia.’ and I guess that’s about all the satisfaction the girl got, judging by her condition when she came to me. In saying this do not think for a mo ment that I am in any way prejudiced against oculists. I merely cite the In stance. “In the course of a year I attend to the teeth of scores of people with Im paired vision, and in every case where the teeth are drawn the sight Is soon after either greatly improved or entire ly restored ”—New York Times.
