Tbe request was .naturally refused. Goersen, however, was determined to impart to his companions in durance his knowledge in the Scriptural writings and resorted to a scheme which in all probability has no simile in ci imi- nal annals the world over. Black roache3 were the messengers enlisted by Dr. Goersen to couvev spiritual instruction to the benighted prisoners of Moyamensirg. The county prison is overrun with big English beetles. These insects are. from an inch and a quarter to two inches or more in length, and in fest every cell in the prison.

To utilize the roaches became Lis hobby. Filled with this idea he captured an herculean beetle, and parting the wings, salivated a tiny strip of tissue paper and stuck it, by the aid of paste ingeniously made from scraps of bread, on the insect's, back.

On the back of the roach, and in scribed on the strip , of paper, were the words: '. ' "B9-not 1 deceived; evil communica tions corrupt good manners." But this was not all. Written transversely across' the paper, in a scrawling and almost illegible hand, were the words: . "I noyui-e'right Sined, 62. . Goersen was delighted, and the phenomenal success of his ruse made him long ' for greater achievements and look foe new, worlds to conquer. After tho return of the first ! mes senger Goersen devoted his attention to insects of the largest dimensions alone. ; ' . ' ' After several ineffective attempts he achieved the remarkable feat of writing iu mflnitessimal characters, on the-back of a twe-inch rottcb, a clear and distinct . transcript of the "Ten Commandment: THB SCHXKS DISCOVERM); ! Yesterday, while one of tbe offici ate ci the prison was waiting IhrwigSt j tracted by a peculiar iooking inscct. It appeared to bavcTa "spasm, and was evidently trying to relieve itself of the incubus of a strip of paper that trailed from its back. . The insect was captured without trouble, and then the astonished official was, confounded with arrreze- rneijt to find on the paper the follow ing text, clearly and distinctly writ ten: "Look not upon the wine when it is rel, for at la3t it biteth like a serpent and-stingeth like an adder." If had been written by Goersen. The darkness that had shadowed his own life through his weakness and dis sipation had suggested a text that, in the execution of bis peculiar ma nia, found expression as a message to his equally shadowed fellow-beings.

This will at onc produce soars. -.oi laughter, and the game will : proceed smoothly. Mr. . Pole, 'has i-omitted such suggestions as these,! and taken the responsibility of naming a few. ;i ' : Should you wish to gain the es teem and admiration of your partner and other lovers of whiatoccaaiooal ly ask "WhatY trump! and yawn, so that the players may admire the filling in your wisdom teeth. This show your intense interest in the game and gives your partner perfect faith and childlike confidence in your ply. tTha game may be greatly enhanced by the hesitation of player when a new suit is introduced, and hia bright crisp and original remark that hell be banged if he remembers whether the ace of that has been ployed or not . This will show every one that an All wise Providence, seeing that you wouldn't know what to do with an intellect if you had it, saw fit to give yours to a cow. If your adversaries gain the rub ber and one of them does the scoring make tbe remark that it ia half in counting, and suggest that you will keep. the books yourself hereafter. This joke is still, in good repair and ear da and counters of any first class LdaalesTb game of whist is very much 'brightened up by these' re marks, and I would no more think of getting whist cards, et?., without se curing the jokes that go with the pack; than I would go into the min is trel business without "Noah's Joke Book" and' Adam's great work enti tled "Mirth Without a Master; or, every Man His Own DamphooL" Should your partner trump a trick which is already your own, show your superior knowledge of tbe game by abusing her if she be a lady. This will convince her tbat you are a gen tleman, and that you know more about the game of whist than you do about common decency. The blood of but one human being is upon my hands. It is the blood of a man who played whist against me one evening and scolded his partner till the tears came in her beautiful eye. He claimed that he had a right to do so because she was his wife, but that that didn't make any difference with the coroner's jury, i - She makes mighty fine looking widow, and I do not regret the part I took in the tragedy f There" are two kinds of brute ver tebrates.

Hid ing the box under his bed, he pre- paied a dozen slips similar to the first, and inscribing on each micro scopic selections from the scriptures, attached them to the tacks of the captive roaches. . After keeping the insects confined lorig enough to see that the paper slips would stick the roaches were released and they, like their prede cessors, quickly escaped through the cracks and crevicea in the . floor and walls of the cell The result of his experiment Goersen awaited with feverish anxiety. The lid of a pan filled with scraps was placed on the floor as a bait. Three days after Goersen found near ly a score of roaches in the lid. Carefully he picked them up, one 7. 1 by one, and examined them. twenty-two miles per hour, the ves sels of war must pot have a less rate of speed if any prizes are to be taken. If the armor - is useles, equal weight iu tbe engine-room ' would be a far better , investment. If torpe does or topedo boats are to be gen erally used, the ship of the future must carry her armor over her -whole hull if she is to b9 protected. . It is even doubtfal if the 'Esmeraldo's" 21 inches of armor ' would keep out one of the torpedoes used by Ericsson on his boat last summer. If- these would not carry explosive enough to sink a ship, i t is an eaey matter to sink a ship, it is an easy matter to enlarge their cpacity until they will do so.- Enterprise. Civil JSebvick Reform. One of the duties of Judson Macumber, an intelligent colored man, employed in the Austin postoffice, is to cut a daily supply of kindling wood for the stoves in the building.
