i ^ OUT IN THE COLD. TU« Adventare uriiGfutlnniiia Who Would Not81eo|) With HiH Itruthur. One night, writes hou Burdctte iu the Brooklyn Eaijle, 1 reiiciiod Erie the pleasant just as the clocks in tho Lord Mayor's castle struck 21. It was bitter, biting, stinging cold, ami theie was no ambulance at the station, while there was a good hotel there. I went in and rcgiaterod, and a man of commanding presence, tailor built clothes and a brown beiwd of most refined culture followed me, and under my plebeian scrawl made the r' [.iister luuiinous with his patrician cognomen. I stood a little in awe of this majestic being, about as little as I usually stand in the presence of any majestic creature, and when in a deep, bass, commanding voice he ordered a room, I had a great mind -something that I always carry with me when I travel â€" to go out and get him one. The gentlemanly and urbane night clerk, who also soemeii to be deeply impressed â€" as is the habit of the night clerkâ€" with the gentleman's respousible-to-any-aniouut toot on sawmbel, said he was sorry, but he had but one vacant room and it contained but one bed. '• Still,'' he said, as became a man who was hnuml to stand for his house if it hadn't ;i bed in it, " it was a very wide bed, very wide and (juito long. Two gentlemen could sleep in it ^uite com- fortably, and if " But the command- ing being at my side sai<l that was quite altogether out of the (juestioii entirely. Quite. Ue was sorry for the â€" here he looked at me, hesitated, but Hnally said â€" gentleman, but He couldn't share His room with him. Ue was sorry for the â€" gentle- man, and hoped he might find comfortable lodgings, but He coiddn't permit him to occupy even a portion of His bod. Then the clerk begged pardon, and was sorry, and all that, but this other gen- tleman had registered tirst, and it was for him to say what disposi- tion should be made of this lonely room and solitary bed. I hastened toassuro the majestic being that it was all right ; ho was welcome to two-thirds of the room, all the looking-glass and one-half of the bod. " Nj," he said very abruptly, " I will sit here by the stove ami sleep in a chair. I thank you, sir, but 1 would not sleep with my own brother. I prefer a room to my- self." 1 meekly told him that I didn'tknow what kind of a man his brother was, but, no doubt, he did, and, therefore, 1 must conclude that he v/.sn't a lit man to sleep with. But hig brother was out of the ques- tion, and if he wanted part of my couch, ho might have it and welcome, and I would agree not to think of his brother. "No, sir," he said, " I will sleep in no man's bed. " I said I wouldn't either, if I wasn't sleepy, but when I was sleepy I didn't care; I'd sl'^p with tho King of England or the Presi- dent, anil wouldn't care a cent who knew it. Well, I went to bed. I curled up under the warm, soft blankets, and heard the winds shriek and wail and whistle and yell â€"how like all creation the wind can blow iu Erie â€" and as the night grow colder and colder every minute, I fell asleep and dreamed that heaven was just iH miles west of Dunkirk. About 2.30 or 3 o'clock, there came a thundering rap at tho door, and with a vague, half-waking impression in my dream that somebray from the other place was trying to get iu, I said : ~* " What Is it ?•' " It is I," answered a splendid voice, which I recognized at once. " I am the gentleman who came on the train with you." " Yes," I said ; " and what is the mat- ter ?" The splendid voice was a trifle humble AS it replied : " I have changed my mind about sleeping with another man." " Bo have 1 1" I howled, so joyously that tho very winds laughed in merry echo ; "So have 1 1 I wouldn't get out of this warm bed to open that door for my own brother!" 1 will closo this story here. If I should write the language that went down that dim, cold hall outside my door you wotildn't print it. And when next morning I went skipping down stairs as fresh as a rose, and saw that majestic being knotted up in a hard arm-chair, looking a hundred years oM, I said : " Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, wh« knoweth not how to be admonished. For out of prison he cometh to reign ; whereas, also ho that is born in his kingdom bccomoth poor." This also is vanity. ♦ Just Around the Corner.

A Bold Idea Iu Iruu Work .Such an MlKbt AbaHli Oreut Vulvou. When Sir Heury Bessemer began his experiments casi-Pteel railroad bars wore worth more than 8200 a ton ; that is the same iiiing as saying they were worth so much that they could not be used at all. Now they can be bought for Sl8 to 8'/iO a ton, and it is certainly impossible to say the limit has been reached. The difficulty with the costly steel plates for armor for ships and forts lies in the fact that they have to be cast by a costly cess, their edges planed, and they must be bolted together fitted in place. To make a is a tedious and very costly process. Sir Henry himself says that it is not neces- sary. No one has attempted to obviate it, and no individual can ; but a nation could do it. Suppose that we wish to cast tho side of a fort in stool, say 200 feet long, IG feet high and i) feet thick. We have only to build a gigantic mold out of brick and con- crete, biiild on top of this mold, say eight or ten 20-ton Bessemer converters, capable of turning out three charges in twonty-four hours ; they would run into the mold a ton of molten steel ovary thirty seconds and the mold would be filled in si.\teen hours. The melted steel would solidify as it was poured iu, so that there would only be six or eight inches of melted metal on the sur- face at any stage of the tilling. It sounds preposterous to speak of cast- ing the whole side of a fort iu one plate or piece, embrasures and all. But Sir Henry says it can be done. He will undertake also to cast the turret for a warship in one solid piece of steel. It makes no difference what shape the fort or turret is to take, or where or how many are to be its loop holes or posts ; it is merely a ((uestiun of building the matrix in tho first instance in this or that shape. Suppose that the face of a fort weighs 2,000 tons, it is clear that it could be cast in a single piece for about 840,000. Built up of plates{in the usual scyle it might cost ten times that sum. It is but a step from this theory to one for the casting of an ontire fortress. Whether turrets can be cast as proposed is another (luestion, because the dilliculty of casting them in situ would havoto bo surmounted. It would not be ditlicult to cast tlie turret to a matrix on shore ; but to put it in position afterward would tax the ingenuity of the engineers. Sir Henry says that a fort cast in one piece three feet thick could not be destroyed by any artiUery now in existence. At any rate, the procims of casting being cheap and easy, the thickness can bo inoreased to any required extent. It is only necessary that there should be enough converters in o|)era- tion to supply a sntliciont flow of molten steel. It would need a 10- ton converter for every 75 square feet of huriiioutal section. There is no limit practically to the number of converters which could be caused to pour their floods into a matrix for a fort, but it would burst the matrix if too many con- verters were emptying into it at the same time. It would not bo unreasonable for Congress to anthorizo an experiment on these lines.â€" Nfiu; Orleam Picayune. STOKIES OF THE l{OTHS(:UILI>8. Pithy rUtces of A(lvie*i <ilveu by the Itlrli Bunker. It is related of Baron Nathan do Boths- oiiild that on one occasion he gave a lady tho following pithy piece of advice : Seated at dinner table, slio informed him that she had an only son, whom aho was ou.xioua to see placed well in business, and begged him to give her a hint on the subject. For a long time tho Baron hesitated, a,id r.t length, when urged by the lady, half good naturedly and half worried, ho turned round and said : " Well, madam, I will tell you. Selling Uicifer matches is a very good business if you have plenty of it." The first English Rothschild came to England with £2,000, which ho soon turned into t'liO.OOO. " My success," he said to Sir Thomas Fowol! Buxton, " all turned on one maxim. I said : I can do what another man can. Another advantage I had, I was an off hand man. I made a bargain at once. When I was settled in London, the East India Company had iiHOO.OOO worth of gold to sell. I went to the sale and bought it all. I knew the Duke of Wellington must have it. I had bought a good many of his bills at a dis- count. Tho Government sent for me, and said they must have it. When thoy had got it thoy did not know how to get it to Portugal. I undertook all that, and I sent it through France ; and that was tho best business I ever did." Another rule of his was never to have anything to do with un- lucky men. " I have seen," said he, "many clever men â€" who had no shoes to their feet. I never act with them. Their ailvice sounds very well, but fate is against tliera ; they cannot go on themselves ; and if they can- not do good to themselves, how can they di) good to me '" -Sarnnnali â-  dii. , Sfirs.

Do not use thu head of a pin, hair pins, pencil tips or any- thing of that nature. 9. Never let the feet become cold and damp, or sit with the back towards tho window, as those things tend to oggravate any existing hardnoss of hearing. 10. Never put milk, fat or any oily sub- stance into the ear for thurolief of pain, for they soon become rancid and tend to incite inflammation.

Extraordinary Precuutluns Taken to Pre- vent Its BeluK Injured. Tho two groat lenses for tho Lick teles- cope, on which Messrs. Clark, of Cambridge, have been so long at work, are now practi- cally completed, and will soon be sent to their destination. The plan adopted for shipping tho double lens, worked out by Capt. Fraser, is us follows : The two glasses will first be wrapped in fifteen or twenty thicknesses of cloth, drawn very tight. Tho cloth will be cotton, and, in order to make it soft and perfectly free fi'om grit, it will bo washed many times and thoroughly beaten. Next to tho cloth will como a thick layer of cotton batting, and thou a, layer of paper. A box inado of wood and lined with felt will contain the glasses when so prepared, the felt lining of tho box ccming next to tho paper. 'I'lie lenses with their covering will be packed tightly in this box. The shape of this box will conform to the shape of tho lenses. The felt will bo attached with glue, ho that no nails will be anywhere near tho glass. Outside of this wooden box cud inclosing it will be a strong steel box, about tho shape of a cube. The wooden box will be tightly packed into tho steel box with curled hair. To inclose this stool box will be still another steel bo.x or chest, and the inner steel box will be kept from touching it by a large number of spiral springs covering the whole interior of tho out steel chest. 'Phis outer chest will be packed with asbestos, to ren- der it fireproof, and both of tho steel boxes will be made airtight and waterproof. The outer chest will bo suspended by pivots in a strong wooden frame, and a contrivance has been adopted for turning thu chest one- quarter around every day <lnring its pro- gress to California. This is to prevent any molecular disarrangement in tho glass and to avoid the danger of polarization, it being feared that tho jarring of thu train will dis- turb the present arrongement of the mole- cules unless the position of ths glass is daily changed and all lines of disturbance thus broken up. The glass will be insured to its full valueâ€" or rather its cost â€" 851,000, and all the precautions mentioned are taken to prevent any accident to it. It would probably bo impossible to replace it, as Fell, who cast it, and tho older Clark, who ground it, aro both old men. Tho glass will be shipped by express. There is something almost romantic in tho design and construction of the monster Lick telescope. Being the greatest work over undertaken, presenting diOiculties that had never before been encountered, inviting and suffering drawbacks and disasters that seemed to be suflicieiit n stagger tho most persistent and painstukiii'{ skill, watched from day to day by a world of anxious observers hovere<l over and caressed by tho united wisdom of a generation, the lens has como into tho world with its great cycloi)eaii eye ready to pierce the mysteries of thu heavens. Captain Thomas Fraser, Superinteudout of the Observatory, fur- nishes some hitherto unpublished and highly interesting information concerning the grinding of the crown-glass Ions, and tho plan adopted for transporting it from Cambridgei>ort, Mass., to San Jose. On the subject of the grinding he says that tho closest measurement at command was tho 110,000th part of an inch, but in grind- ing the great letis it was discovered that oven this infinitesimal fraction was too large. A still finer measurement was required in reducing tho lens in numberless places to a thickness (itself unwjual) that would exactly concen- trate parallel rays of light, tilling a circle three feet in diainetor, to a point a little larger than a pin. In ordor to reduce the fine measurement already at command the following ingoniouH arrangement was em- ployed by Alvin Clark .fc Sons, the makers of tho lens : A gas jot was placed before a mirror, which sent the rays of light through a telescope to tho great Ions, thus magnify- ing the rays. Tho magnificent light, pass- ing through the groat lens, wasstill further immensely magnified, and after having passed through tho lens it was observed through a second telescope and thus further magnified. In this way tho least failure of the groat lens to concontrato perfectly was detected, and there was also deter- mined the amount of glass in it, at any given point, that had to bo ground off in ordor to secure a {Kirfoct focus, Thus a measurement of the 'i,000,000th part of an inch was secured. It took very little grinding to remove so small a thicknoss of glass from a given point, a gentle rubbing with the thumb being sufficient, as tho glass is softer than common window glass. â€" Boiton Tramcript.

When company comes in suddenly b> dinner or tea and the family larder is almost empty tho good housekeeper is al- most worried into an early grave to know what to get for the meal. It must be some- thing that will cook iiuickly and toato nicely, and of course cost but little. Here are u few receipts that may aid them at such a moment. If there are any appleu in the house wash them and put into a hot oven to bake. Thoy will make a nice des- sert eaten with cream and sugar, or if tha milk is not plentiful put a Uttle molasses in. tho dish while baking, or tho cores may ba removed and tho centres filled with ciniuk- nioii, cloves and sugar, and a little hoti water poured over them. Every ono knows how to make ({uick bia cuits. Of course they are not at all healthy as a steady diet, but aro palatable for any emergency. They should be mads with a little sour milk, if possible, and a little butter as well as lard will add to tbo taste. The secret of having them light is to work them quickly and bake imme- diately. Any cold meat that may be on hand, if not iu sufliciontly good sliaito to eat sliced, may bo couvortod into cro(iuottes. If beef, lamb, chicken, corned beef or veal, chop to a mince, make moist with one or two eggs, add a Uttle mashed potato, salt, pepper and onough milk to make into a thtok paste, roll in little oblong shapes and fry in boiling hot lard a light brown. Serve on little s<juares of buttered toast and with cold celery, if you can got it. Two or thres kinds of meat and fowl may be asod for these cr»(|uettes, and a littl'.' ham orbaoon will add to tho flavor. Pieces of cold chicken or turkey may ba warmed up with a little butter in a frying- pan : put on a platter into thu oven, and surrounded by biscuits halved, or small, thick slices of bread. Then maku tho fol- lowing gravy to jHjur over all: Into th« frying-pan put a large piece of butter, aunp or two cups of milk, and any gravy thiU> iray be left over. Bring it to a boil ; then add sufficient flour, first wet in a little cold. milk or water, to make tho ocnsistency of cream. Season with salt and add a little of the dark moat uhopiwd to a miuce. La6 tho sauce cook for a few moments, then pour over the biscuits and fowl. This will be found a really nice dish, and but little chicken or turkey is needed to make it gs around.
