IT WAS MORNING.
l‘bb night was dark, and mist hung o’er the hills,
And long and weary seemed the hours to wait;
When, suddenly, the snow clouds became.
0f rosy hue, as though the angel lamps
Were hung behind them. Then the glowing east
Became afiame with red and molten gold,
And it was morning!
The night was dark, and mist hung o‘er the hills,
And long and weary seemed the hours to wait;
When, suddenly, a light was seen beyond,
Transcending moon and stars and brilliant sun;
And then earth faded out from mortal sight;
Death‘s icy river had been safely crossed,
And it was morning!

CU RIOUSLY MIMETIC INSECTS.
How Maylayan Butterflies Hide Them-
solves—Flies Which Resemble lVasps.
There is a certain butterfly in the islands of
the Malay archipelago (its learned name, if
anybody wishes to be formally introduced, is
Kalima paralekia) which always rests among
dead or dry leaves, and has itself leaf like
wings, all spotted over at intervals with wee
speckles to imitate the tiny spots of fungi on
the foliage it resembles. The well known
stick and leaf insects from the some rich
neighborhood in like manner exactly mimic
the twigs and leaves of the forest among
which they lurk; some of them look for all
the world like little bits of walking bamboo,
while others appear in all varieties of hue, as
if opening buds and full blown leaves and
pieces of yellow foliage sprinlded with the
tints and molds of decay had of a sudden
raised themselves erect upon six legs and be
gun incontinently to perambulate the Malayan
woodlands like vegetable Frankensteins in all
their glory.
The larva of one such deceptive insect, ob-
served in Nicaragua by sharp eyed Mr. Belt,
appeared at first sight like a mere fragment
of the moss on which it rested, its body being
all prolonged into little thread like green fila-
ments, precisely imitating the foliage around
it. Once more, there are common flies which
secure protection for themselves by growing
into the counterfeit presentment of wasps or
hornets, and so obtain immunity from the atl
tacks of birds or animals. Many of thwe
curious mimetic insects are handed with yel-
low and black in the very image of their
stinging originals, and have their tails sharp-
ened, in terrorem, into a pretended sting, to
give point and verisimilitude to the deceptive
resemblance.
More curious still, certain South American
butterflies of a perfectly inoffensive and
edible family mimic in every spot and line of
color sundry other butttfiies of an utterly I
unrelated and fundamentally dissimilar type,
but of so disagreeable a taste as never to be
eaten by birds or lizards—Comm“ Magazine.
Only An English Actor.
“Great Scott!" suddenly said an old fash»
ioned American, “what isthat?” Asimper—
ing young gentleman, obviously painted,
pearl white, rouge and black cosmetic having
been freely employed to touch up a face that
suggested a juvenile edition of that aged
London butterfly, Laria, Marchioness of
Aliesbury, suddenly presented himself. Flow-
ing locks, unmistakably guilty of the “aurif-
erous golden hair wash,” framed this care-
fully prepared countenance. A sky blue
mouchoir was thrust into a white waistcoat.
“What is it. I say?” roared the old fashioned
American. People began to titter. The ex-
planation was easy—only an English actor,
who plays and recites and mocks the garish
light of day with a “make up” unlike most
other actors and actresses. who have quite
enough of “painting their noses" when they
are obliged to do so. “English! I knew it!
English! Thank God!” ejaculated the old
fashioned American. “Come; let’s get out of
this! The hansoms, the 8 o’clocktca and—-
and-that—are too much for me. Let’s go
and have some terrapin and duck.”
If you use your eyes and ears very much in
New York you will soon' ask yourself seri-
ously if the American people have the mental
and moral stamina to profit by inherited
wealth. You will wonder if leisure is not the
very worst thing that can fall to the lot of a .
lad. Americans ought to have good, strong,
tough fibers enough to stand such things with—
out going down under them. But is it so?
In most countries it is the class of heirs to '
wealth and idleness that sets the standard of
literature, upholds art and encourages science.
Blit if either one of the trio were to depend,
even slightly, upon that same class in this
country it would find itself leaning on a reed. :

HANDSOME MRS. KATE CHASE.
Pen Picture of the Lady who Ruled '
Washington Society Fifteen Years Ago.
Some days ago an afternoon reception was
given by the wife and daughters of Mr. A. B.
Mullett, formerly supervising architect of
the treasury. Among the ladies receiving
with the hostess was Mrs. Kate Chas, as she
now calls herself—the once famous and al-
ways beautiful Kitty Chase. It was the first
time she had appeared at any social gathering -‘
in Washington for many years, and this
woman, who fifteen years ago ruled Wash-
ington society as it never was ruled before
or since, was not personally known to one-
fourth of the guests present. Beside her stood
her daughter Ethel—a. slim, indefinite kind of
a girl, possibly to be pretty, but never to be
as handsomeas her mother.
As for Mrs. Kate Chase, her beauty is of
that noble sort that age cannot wither nor
custom stale. Besides, she isawoman who
has passed through great stems without let-
ting them agitate hernnduly. She is now
nearly45 years old, but she looks ten years
younger. She has lost the first brilliancy of
her youthful complexiOn, but she can’t help
being superb and distinguished. In the day
of her power she was intensely feared and ad-
mired, but never inspired or seemed to try
to inspire affection,so that the animosity
she awkakened on the part of those who saw
her for the first time in many years assisting
at a party was of a critical kind. No doubt
this suited her quite as well, because pity is
something she always disdained.
She is no longer rich, and inherits Chief
Justice Chase’s financial inabilities in a marked
degree. The sum of what she has now is the
small competence left by her father, who
lived and died a. poor man. Whatever claim
she has upon Canonchet is worth nothing
now, and this woman who could order twenty-
two gowns with all accessories from Paris
not many years ago, and repeat the order
whenever she felt like it, appeared the other
day in the simplest kind of a black costume.
But it was nevertheless elegant and appro-
priate. because it couldn’t be anything else
with Kitty Chase as its wearer. She always
had a perfect genius for clothes, and her
striking beauty gained effect from the style .
in which she dressed—Washington Letter.
_ Five Minutes Enough.
“You were speaking of Stephen Field as a
grave and sedate justice, now that he is full
of years and honor and occupies a seat in one
of the greatest judicial bodies in the world,"
said another of the party, “but I remember
him when he was as gay and rollicking a lad
as the best of us. When the mining camp at
what is now Nevada City was first organized
young Lawyer Field was elected a justice of
the peace. Probably the toughest member of
the new camp was a noted desperado, Jack
Reynolds by name. One day Reynolds was
arrested on a charge of horse stealing. It
was a trial by jury, with Justice Field pre-
siding. The evidence was not strong enough
to convict, but as everybody was anxious to
get rid of Reynolds the verdict was: ‘We
find the prisoner at the bar not guilty, but if
he is wise be will leave the camp in thirty
minutes.’ The verdict amused the yomig
justice immensely, but be repeated it to Rey-
nolds with due solemuity. Reynolds, whose
sense of the ridiculous was quite as keen as
that of the jury, calmly replied, as he gave
his trousels an extra hitch: ‘Gents, if the
mule don’t buck I’ll be out in five.‘ ”» —Cincin--

Beating the Company. ,
Said a gentleman connected with one of
the street railway lines: “You would be sur—
prised to know how many people attempt to
beat the companies out of a fare. Two labor-
ers near the terminus of the road will board a
car in the early morning, put a fare in the
box, tender the other to the driver and jointly
advise him to get all out of the road he can.
If he accepts neither of them ever pays that
driver again, and they generally wait for his
car. But such a practice is not confined to
that class. Young men ride on the front
platform to smoke, and by adroitly abusing
the company manage to p9" the driver, who .
takes the chances of discha go.
“A certain business man has caused the dis-
charge of several drivers. Hc hands his
money for change, leaves a nickle with the
driver, fumbles at the box while the lever is
jerked down and fancies that no one will di<
cover that the company has been robbcelI.’-— -'

CHEWING IS BAD FORM.
A HABIT THAT Is RAPIDLY eE-
COMING OBSOLETE.
Men are Taking to Substitutes—The Con-
venient Slip of Slippery Elm—Licorice.
How Roscoe Conkling Broke Up a Bad
Habit.
Manufacturers of tobacco say that the habit
of chewing is rapidly becoming as obsolete as
that of snuff taking, except among working-
men. “You will find some of the older men
of wealth and refinement who chew nowa-
days," said a large dealer, “but they acquired
the habit yeais ago, when it was not thought
vulgar or disreputablp, to chew. Some of
the older judges chew. and there ' were
members of the I " ' me court of the
United States who
bench unless they had a quid. A very
few clergymen use tobacco in this way, and
not a few of the older lawyers and other pro—
fessional men of years. But in the younger
generation of cultivated men of good manners
there are very few, comparatively, now to
be found who chew. The young men of to
day rarely acquire the habit, and I predict
that within the next few years users of the
weed in this form will be only those who be-
long to the less cultivated society. It is now
regarded very bad form to chew, though
thirty years ago it was not. No; chewing is
going the way of snuff taking.”
Many of Our most prominent public men
have fought hard to overcome this habit. In
Chicago and St. Louis chewing is now re-
garded as vulgar by persons who make any
pretensions to social standing, and many of
the devices employed by men to overcome the
habit are amusing. At the late trial of Max-
well in St. Louis the three prosecuting offi-
cers were noticed constantly chewing during
the trial, and one of them said: “Yes, we are
chewing spruce gum, and we are doing it to
break the habit of chewing tobacco, and if
you will notice on the street you will see
three men out of five (I mean, of course. those
who are not workingmen) vigorously work-
ing their jaws. They are chewing gum, for
there seems to beasort of tacit agreement
among gentlemen here to quit chewing to-
bacco.
A 311‘ or SLIPPEEY ELM.
Many men now carry a strip of slippery
elm in their pocket, and when they feel the
old craving «me over them then they bite oil’
a bit and chew it. A down town druggist
said that he sold a great deal of licorice root
to men who were trying to break the tobacco
habit. Roscoe Conkling used to chew, al-
though he never used tobacco prepared for
chewing. He had a habit of takinga good
cigar, cutting it in two in the middle. Then
placing the cut end of one of the halves be-
tween his teeth he would chew it. He did not
take what Ben Butler is so fond of, a dry
smoke, as it is called, but he chewed the
cigar. He determined to break this habit,
and to help him the more easily to conquer it
be filled his pockets with lozenges or other
choice candies every morning. Conkling has
a very sweet tooth and is very fond of good
candy. The last three or four years he was
in the senate he was rarely without a lozenge
: or other candy in his mouth.
' Senator Eaton and Senator Jones, of Flor-
' ida, were -.both pets of Conkling, and both
being pets of Conkling, and both being very
fond of candy, almost daily performed this
little comedy: Eaton would stroll over to
Conkiiing’s desk and chat a few moments.
never failing to evince the profound admira-
tion for Conkliiig that he had. By and by he
would say: “Conkling, what do you do when
your throat is dry and husky?" Thereupon
Conkling would produce a box in which were
the sugar plums, and Eaton, taking two or
threes, would stroll leisurely alvay with one in
his month. By and by Jonas would walk
acrc'es the aisle and make his obeisancc to
Coanling. Then he would cough and hem
andI clear his throat. Out would come the
boxf, and Jones made himself happy with two
or three candies after sufficient hesitation
about taking them. Once when Jones, of
Nev‘jada, was making a long speech and his
voice grew husky, Conkliiig arose, pulled his
box of confections from his pocket and pre-
' senhzd it to the miner with as much formality
and dignity as though conferring the order of
I the garter. Ho afterward told Jones that if
' he would eat more candy and use lesstobacco
' he would have no trouble with his voice.

I oral ion, by all signs, will all smoke;—New

I A FIRST NIGHT AUDIENCE.
The Crowd at a Parisian Theatre—A
Position in Society.
The audience ate. fiIst night considers the
: theatre as the house of a, friend by whom
they are invited for the evening. They appear
I in fl ill dress, and as late as possible, so as not
to be the first to arrive, exchange salutations
I with: the other visitors, shake hands right
and. left and spend the evening in trying to
cut a. good figure and to chat with everybody
I] all round. The professional critic whispers
I little sarcasms into his neighbor’s ear, the
1' friend of the author amuses himself by re-
5 panting all the points and bons mots of the
I! piece. before they are on the stage, thus spoil-
5 ing their effect. Gentlemen pay visits'to
I ladies in their boxes, discussing the latest
I news and epigrams; the gallery—which does
I; not form a part of the “society_”~looks down
upon the assembly through opera glasses, in
order to see all notorious personsasaccu-
rately as possible and to observe how they
whom they are acquainted and to whom they
I are polite or intimate. It is an incesmnt
g whisper and murmur and giggle; sometimes
a tragic scene is spoiled by a sudden loud and
indiscn’eet laugh, or the most comic scene is
lost because a whole row of spectators have
suddeni'y become solemn and serious in con-
sequence of the newsof a death or other acci-
dent which has just been announced. Every
body is} busily engaged in taking care of
himself and everybody else, in presenting
himself in the most favorable light to the
curious and the humble, and the curtain falls
"without' any spectator, except the critics,
having taken the slightest notice of what was
said or (if one on the stage.
It is all important part of the perfect, Par-
isian’s education to know the whole audience,
barring the galleries, of the first nights by
name, rank, character, and possibly also the
pecuniary state and politics of each person
present. Thus the social importance of the
first night is easily explained. To be known
is the great object of innumerable individuals
of a great town, and to attain this object is
the greatest victory which can be gained in
the metropolitan fight for existence. And if
once a man has succeeded in being among the
number of constant visitors on first nights he
, has emerged from the darkness. * * s.-
In order to become habitue, rank, money or
great influence is necessary. It may be pos-
sible to get, without great difficulties, a sin-
gle seat at a single first night, but this insures
by no means the advantages arising from the
regular attendance at all first representations.
The advantages are only secured after aname
. has been entered into the feuille du service
des premieres at every fashionable theatre,
.vhich is the register containing the name of
every person entitled to be present at first
nights.
The fueillc du service is the golden book
of Paris society. To be entered into this list
is the price which is given for any great suc-
cem. He who succeeds in making all Paris
' talk of him for a moment becomes at once the
recipient of premiere cards. The member of
the institute; , the' author whose book has
made a sensation; the eminent traveler; the
lawyer who had been engaged inc. great case;
the architect who has completed a large edi-
fice; the “grand prix” of the salon; the poll-
tician whom events have thrown into the
foreground; the officer whose past is marked
by a feat of valor; neither of these need apply
for tickets, for they will be offered to them.
But those by whose presence the director of
the theatre does not feel specially honored,
must be ready to pay heavily for having
their name put on the list—Pall Mall Ga-
zette.

ABOUT ALUMINIUM.
AN INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF ITS
REMARKABLE PROPERTIES.
As Malleoble as Gold or Silver and Mord
Durable—Its Value in the Age of Elec-
tricity—Resistance to Corrosion-oStrong-
cr Than Steel.
Of course the reader readily understands
that aluminium does not occur in nature in a
metallic form, and ,tlie great secret is to iso-
late it from the substances with which it up-
peals and reduce it to the metallic state. The
word means the metal of clay. As a fact,
however, clay soil comes from the metal base,
not the metal from the soil. Combined with
oxygen, in one form or another, it forms
mountain masses and is the baso of a vast
amount of common earths. By the action of
air and water the aluminium compound is de-
composed, the alkali washed away and clay
soil is left. We have then to consider the sur-
face of the tillablc earth as very largely the
result of the decomposition’ of this metal,
leaving a porous substance, which we culti-
vate and in which we grow our vegetable pro-
ducts. ’l‘he compound forms of aluminium
are far from uniform, and include mica, feld-
spar, porpliyry, ruby, sapphire, garnet, tur-
quoise, beauxite and cryolite. The last two
compounds are commonly those used for ex-
tracting the pure metal. But in America cor-
uuduin, which is found in North Carolina, is
and probably will be the main source of
susply. ‘ .
f couise the general reader, whatever his
interest in this remarkable substance, will
not understand the chemical processes of ex-
traction. It is far more interesting to learn
as much as possible of its physical properties.
Its color is a beautiful silvery white, with'n.
very slight bluish tint. When cut it resembles
a piece of tin freshly cut. It is odorless and
tasteless when absolutely pure. It is fully as
malleable as gold and silver, andcaubebeatcn
into leaves that can be used‘as silver and gold
leaf are; they are, however. far more durable.
It can be drawn out into exceedingly fine
wire. Its elasticity is that of silver, and its
tenacity the same, but by hammering it be-
comes-as hard as iron and aselustic. Abar
three feet long and a quarter of an inch
square, subjected to tests, was found to have
a tensile strength of twelve tons to the square
inch. " Taking its strength in relationtoits
weight, it compares with steel of thirty-five
tons per square inch tensile strength.
ornna PROPERTIES.
Aluminium is also remarkably sonorous;
so that when a. bar in suspension is struck it
gives a sound of a cgystal bell. It melts at a
temperature higher than zinc and lower than
silver, and is therefore to‘be ranked as emily
fusible. At any temperature whatever it re-
mains fixed; that is, it loses none of its weight.
It conducts electricity with great facility—
eight times better than iron and. twice better
than copper. It also ranks very high, better
than copper and silver, as a conductor of
heat. These facts suggest the possible and
prabable value of aluminium in the age of
electricity—its value in connection with our
new motor.
But still more remarkable are the proper-
ties of this metal in imisting corrosion. The
air has no effect on it whatever, whether
moist or dry; neither have sulphur fumes.
Nor does pure oxygen affect it, whether cold
or hot, although if brought into a white heat
it burns, producing a strong light. . Neither
has water power to corrode it at any ordi-
nary heat, but at 100 deg. it slowly decom-
poses the water. g It is equally true that such
destructive gases as sulphuretted hydrogen
do not affect it; and the acids, such as sul‘
phuric and nitric, do not affect aluminium to
any perceptible degree, and hydrochloric acid
acts very slowly on the pure metal. This
is why it was used for the peak of the lVash-
ington monument, being incorrodible prac-
tically where other metals would be eaten up
by the atmosphere uml ruins.
connonnn BY ALKALIES.
But alkalies, on the contrary, as potash,
soda and lime, act on aluminium very easily,
driving off the hydrogen and leaving n. cal-
cium or other compond. So, also, chlorine,
iodine, bromine and fluorine attack the metal
at once and break it up rapidly. Its power
to resist acids makes it exceedingly useful in
diseases where tubes of metal must be used,
since sweat and purulent matter cannot
alter it.
Such is the nature of this metal of the
future, sketched as well as may be without
introducing technical language. The world
contains u thousand times as much of it as it
docs of iron. Its strength surpames both iron
. and steel. while it is almost absolutely incor-
rodible. Glass, acids, air and water do not
tarnish it; nor does heat change its weight or
color. It is the best known conductor of
I beat and electricity. It is lighter than some
I of our hardest woods, and is worked with
I great case. In the words of "a leading scien-
5 List; “It is the lightest, easiest worked,
I

I
strongest, most durable and generally most
valuable of all metals; and the man who in-
vents a method of making it cheaply 'will re-
\‘Olutionizo industry.” It is not easy to
imagine the universal and sweeping influence
of the introduction of two such metals as
aluminium and malleable glass into our in-
dustrial economy in a single generation.—

OFFICIAL FEMININE BEAUTY.
How the Gushing Washington Corro-
spoiidents Overpalnt Their Pictures.
It is not always safe to accept the descrip-
tions ofthe society correspondents at Wash-
ington literally. The standards of judgment
there are not precisely the same as elsewhere,
and loveliness is cOnsidemd as géing as a. mat-
ter of course with certain positions. For in-
stance, a congressman may be ugly or good
looking, able or weak, honest or knavish;
but a cougressman’s wife is cx-officio lovely;
and though various congressmen with all sorts
of wives, old and young, brown and blonde,
tall and short, sweet and shrewish, come and
go, the ideal wife of the congrcsman remains
the same, and in the eyes of the correspond-
ent she is always lovely.
In this way, too, the senator’s wife isex-
olficio exquisitely lovely. The wives of the
supreme court judges, the foreign represen-
tatives and the cabinet ministers, are cx-officio
entrancingly lovely. As for the president’s
wife she is ex-officio “beyond all whooping,”
tousea Shakesperian phrase. Languageds
inadequate to express her loveliness; It is
the failure of the average citizen to appre-
ciate this treatment Of beauty asan official
attribute that leads to the disappointment of
many visitors at Washington. They go ex-
pectingtosee'visions of feminine loveliness
floating about the streets of the national
capital. In their fancy, it is peopled with
beauty like Armida’s garden or the enchanted
island of Camoens, orthe paradise of Mn-
homet. They have heard of at least fifty wo-
men who walk with the grace of Diane of
Poictiers, 100 who have inherited the witch-
ing smile of Ninon de l’Enclos, 150 who have
found the lost arms of the Venus of Milo, 200
with the persuasive charms of Phryne—and
soon through the long catalogue of profes-
sional beauties of history, art and poetry.
But the imaginative tourist finds little in
the reality to justify his anticipations. The
gay and festive ladies of the society cor~
respondent generally appear to his unskilled
eye as sensible, middle aged, or elderly wo-
men. Thc lithe, the graceful, the sinuous,
tho svelte. the luminous eyed, the full
bosomed dames that are metamorphosed into
very ordinary people connected by marriage
with the men that, for the time being, are

A Pathetic Incident.
A few weeks ago in this city a. poor widow
died, leaving one child, a little lame boy, to
the cold charities ,of the world.
After his mother’s funeral the little fellow
was taken ill from the combined results of
grief and neglect, and it was then evident
that he would soon be united to his only
friend. I '
He was left alone inqu of the day, there
being no one who could spare the time to stay
with him. It was often noticed that the
voices of two persons could be heard in his
little room. But when those in charge entered
he would be niche and apparently asleep.
One day they listened, being quite sure that
no one was with the cnild, and they overheard
this strange monologue:
“Is you rite there, mammal”
“Yes, my little boy, I is rite here.”
“Was you went away yeti” .
“I wented back to heaven to tell God about
my little boy.”
“Did you was afraid, mammal”
“N o, my own little boy, ’cause God is nicer’n
peoples” . -
‘ Did you told Him about me, mammal”
“I folded Him I had a little boy named
Harry—am—an’ ”—
There was a loud noise of sobbing then, and
the listener without cried, too. Presently the
v-nild‘s voice resumed:
“Did you told God to let me come up there,
momma?”
I “Yes, my boy, an’_ he said ‘Bime by, bime
iy.’ ,
“Momma, I’se—so—tired—an’—an’~—sleepy
—-an’—I want to come an’ stay with—you—
an’—God.”
There was a long silence then, broken by
no cry or sob. The listeners went in after re-
solving in their hearts to .be thereafter very
patient with the motherless one.

Pluto? Snowcd Under.
A Nevada newspaper says that a citizen
recently saw two Pluto bucks dig a hole in a
snow bank, get into it, and , wrap themselves
in a single blanket, preparatory to a night’s
rest. In the morning he saw no signs of the
Indians, but a mound of snow marked the
spot where they went to bed. He was sure
that they had frozen during the night, and
prepared to dig out the bodies, but the first
thrust of the shovel brought the bucks to
their feet, with grunts of disgust. Instead of
being frozen, they were moist with. perspira-

facturlng the implements. As I was no me-
chauic, and as I had always thought I had no
mechanical ingenuity, I was in a very serious
dilemma. To any that I could not do it was
to lose all prestige. 0n the other hand, an
attempt to do it would almost . surely end in
failure. I consulted with my American
friends and they "all encouraged ,me to go
ahead anddothe best I could. If there had
been models to work from the imitative ca-
pacity of the Japanese would have been equal
to the emergency, but we ' [no models for
the more complex and difficult inlplements.
However, I concluded. “lat "an American
could do anything that anybody else had ever
done and Iaccepted tboii‘espOnsibilit'y, though
with many misgivinp.’ A small: "Wooden
building was put up and divided, One-half for
a blacksmith shop and the other half 1-for
wood workers. [I started in on plows. We
had to take the Japanese ingots'fof steel, the
same as they had made their old Words from,
and presumably the same as had been used to
make the old Damascus blade. . 'It'isztiio beat

little ingots these patient workers hammered
away day after day as I. had directed until
the fiist plowshare was finished. In the
meantime the wood workers had made the

pearance.

This experiment had “billed P gréetgdeal of
attentibn from the Japanese officials, and I
had received notice thatln a few days two or
three cabinet officials Would be present to see
the plow work. At the appointed time they
came, with a good deal of ceremony, and tho
plow was successfully 'tried. The 'astonish-
ment and delight of the officials were very
great. They invited me to a dinner and sent
presents to the mechanics who had made the
first foreign plow ever constructed in Japan.
Our little shop gradually grew until it became
quite a factory. ,Wc , made everything used
on a farm except mowing and threshing ina-
chines. We evon made thimble skein wagons,
the thimble being cast at the foundry of the
navy department. I had to guess at the
width of . the . track, having forgotten the;

finished they looked well and worked well, but

Themost difiiculttask was to make spring

In the hurry of this Work some oversights
were bound to be made. One was in making
homes. When all ready for that, we found
that there was very little harness leather in
Japan, and there was no time to import it.
What was to be done was a very serious
question. My mental resources were nearly
exhausted when I remembered having seen
the negroes down south during 'the war plow-
ing with rope harness. Acting upon that, I
had made 900 sets of hemp harness, every
piece in the same shape as in leather harness,
and they answered a very useful purpose.
There was not a piece of leather abdut them.
as we used canvas for' the collars. . Whey}-
arrived onthe‘gi‘ound selected for: the farm?
I found that I had not done with the plow
question. Some portions of the pasture were
covered with chestnut bushes, and the ground
was full of "large roots, so much so thatno
ordinary plow could cut them. In order to
prepare this ground for plowing, men were
put to grabbing out these roots. At even
the extremely low price at which labor is
paid there I soon saw that to grub out these
bushes would be an expensive Operation. ’ I
therefore had a plow made that could not be
broken. It was made of wrought steel, cut a"
twenty-six inch furrow, and was strong
enough to go through any obstacle. To this
plow we attached nine horses, three abreast,“
and with .-it we went thro'ugh ,thechestnnt?
bushes as though they had gluten, rushes.
When the horses were thoroughly broken and .:
the plowmen had gained experience, One man
could plow from three . to three and-onerhalf
acres per day With this big plow.

Near to our operations were large old farm-
ing districts with a numerous population.
By the time our plows and barrows were suc-
cessfully running the fame. of . the foreign
farm had spread to these people, and they»
came flocking in, whole villages making.
journeys to see the wonderful foreign imple— '
ments work. With their mode of digging up
the soil with a luattock an eighth of an acre
is a good day’s work for a. man. ’ When the
farmers, who had never seen any other than‘
mattock tillage, saw this great plow taming
its twenty-six inch furrow at the rate of
three acres per day. they held up their hands
and cried, “Wonderful! Wonderful l” Through
the wholeof the first your our labor saving
machinery drew crowds ofjjuative farmers,
some from a distance of, more than 1w miles,
and these 'jOurneys were mostly made on foot.
A greater wonder than theplow, even, were
the mowing machines. ~Bome of the pasture
divisions were clear o'f'brlish, smooth as a
house floor. with fine grass for hay. A pair
of Japanese ponies, with a fifty-four inch
sickle bar mower, could easily cut from
twelve to fifteen acres per day, while with a.
Japanese grass knife a quarter of an acre was
a good day’s wOrk. The sight of these mowers
cutting a swath fifty-four inches wide, as fast
as horses could walk, took the breath away
from these simple people. .

How the machine did it was the mystery,
as the sickle and bar when work was being
done was hidden in the grass. Their curidtfzg‘

Collected the Kisses.
The other day while a young deputy poet;
master was engaged at his work in. stepped
one of our bashful maidens of sweet 16 with a I
money order which, she desired to have cashed.
She handed it, with a bashful smile, to the
official, who, after closely examining it, gave
' her the money it called for.’ At the 'sumo
time he asked - her if she had read what was
on the margin of the order. “No, I have
not,” she replied, “for I cannot make it out.
Will you please read it to me?" The deputy
read as follows: “I send you $3 and a damn '
kisses." Glancing at the bashful girl he said: 5
“Now I have paid you the money and I sup- :,
pose you want the Rimes.” “Yes,” she sail, :;
“if he has sent me any kisses I' want that '5

Gus Braudugee, who has recently
written some interesting recollections of
Lincoln, has been stopping at the Murray
I Hill for a few days. Brandagee’s speech
' at the Chicago Convention, in nomination
of Hawlcy, was one of the best, and many
of the delegates ranked it second only to
Gov. Long's splendid tribute to Edlnunds.
Brandagce was thought early in the sixties
to‘ be the coming man from the East, and
it was the reputation he took to Congress
I and kept there as an orator that caused
Lincoln to take so much interest in him.
He quilted Congress just as Blaine en-
tered, and though that was nearly twenty-
five years ago, Brandag‘ee is now in the
prime of life. He was a genuine orator,
but of late years has hidden llis light
I under the fogs of New London, and has
greatly disappointed his friends, who be-
lieve that nothing but his lack of energy
prevented his taking a very high place
among Republicans. But Brandagec did
one thing that every good Democrat
ought tothank him for; he encouraged
and had a considerable part in develop-
ing a handsome New London boy, who

.| SAD STORY.
A Woman Tortured Nine Years by the Incompet-
eucy of Physicians. Relief at last.
Mrs. T.,a lady residing in a country town In
Indiana. tells the following painful stoly: “i
had taken treatment from physicians for about
nine y are, and had never received any perman-
ent re let until I took your Compound. i thought
I never should get well and cried a good deal of
my time. A year ago this summer I was confined
to my bed and room for five months, under the
' doctor’s care. I at last made up my mind to qult
him and try your compound, and wlih what a
joyful result. Oh, I feel so glad that i tried II,
and so sorry that I did not get hold oflt nine
years ago.” The foregoing is from a letter to Mrs.
Lydia E. Plnkham, and sufferers, by taking her
Vegetable Compound, may escape .the writer’s
regret for years wasted in hopelessagony.
A Letter of Thanks.
Mrs. Lydla E. Pinkham: Very Dear Madam:
My wife, Arie A. Green, has suffered with a dis-
placement whlch caused her unknown pains till I
had almost given up all hopes of findlng any relIef
for her. But the guiding Spirit referred me to
your Vegetable Compound. I went twelve miles
to purchase a home and the first two doses . gave
her immediate relic], and after the use of the
first bottle she declared herself a new person. two
bottles entirely cured her. Your medicine is in-
valuable to me. It was indeed amessenger of
peace in my house. it cured my wife and God
knows I am the higipiest man alive to—day. .
