THE Policy oN THE SUBJECT OF WAR.-MayT
Powell sent an order to Capt. King of the Second
District Police, on Thursday morning, directing him
to order ten Of the men under his command to be at
the Fulton Ferry, properly equipped, at O'Clock on
that evening and there await further orders. Capt.
King selected the largest men in the force and ordered
them to be in readiness at the appointed time. 1t
being limited about that their destination Segunes
Point, the men selected assembled together in the
reading-room and had grave discussion on the sub
cct. They concluded that II was not enactly the

seeing the joke that had been played the Alderman,
gravely advised him to 90 the SatOnllouse and read
the order sent to Capt. King and if it was MOI satis-
factory TO return and inform him. The Alderman went.
but did not return. II is presumed he was satisfied.
The order was to have the men rendy 70 accompany
the fremeas procession that evening, and Capt King
who sdmirea joke as well a. most men, had made
such remarks after he read the order as induced the
men to believe that they required to arm them
selves with muskes and pistols and proceed to Staten
Island to protect what there might be eft On the pro-

THE SEcKEL PEAR.-The Seckel IS
the best native pear known; it has high,
spicy, honeyed flavor. 1t bears its fruit in
clusters at the ends of its branches. II
ripens from the first of September to the
last of October. Il was sea, to Europe by
DR.. Hesack, in 1917, and the fruit pro-
nounced by the London Horticultural So
ciety exceeding in flavor the richest and
best of their autumn pears. The fruit is
.vcry small, except on rich land. The fol-
lowing account is given OF the origin OF
this pear: About so years ago there
was well known sportsman and cattle
dealer in the city of Philadelphia. who
was familiarly known as Dutch Jacob. :
Every season, early in the autumn. on re-
turning from his shooting excursions. Dutch
Jacob RECALLED his neighbors with pears Of
an unusually delicious flavor, the secret oil
whose place of growth, however, he
would never satisfy their curiosity by d.
vulging. AT length The Holland Land
Company, owning a considerable tract
south of The city, disposed of it in par
cells, and Dutch Jacob then secured the
ground on which his fayorite pear tree
stood. a fine tract OF land the Delaware.
Not long afterwards it became the farm
of MIR. Seckel, who introduced this re-
msrkablc fruit to public notice, and il
received his name. Afterwards the prop.

HOW MUCH IT WILL DO.

The speed of this Mill is about three hun
Gred stroks of the saw per minute, aud the feed

pending npon The character of the timberr-
Thus, at medium speed the saw would cut
through log II feet long in from one to two
minutes.
From this data, any practical man can. see
that it is capable of cutting about 5000 feet of
inch boards in II hours.
lt viii saw more rapidly tlan any mill we
have ever seen, while its advantages over the
circular mill are, that it is cheaper. requires
less power to run it. is much less liable TO get
out of order, is much less expensive to repair,
when damaged, does less imperfect work,
wastes less in cutting, is not dangerous to the
parties attending it like the circular mill, and
is capable of cuttIng much larger timber.
The segments and friction wheels we furnish
for the carriage are sufficient to saw logs TWEEN
ty-four feet long. An extra length will be sent
when desired, and an extra charge made. The
pump sent is worked by the engine, add is saf-
ilcient to raise water about twenty feet. Where
it is desirable to raise water to supply the boil

furnished and an extra charge made for it
Drawings and full explanations are sent with
each mill, also complete model, showing all
the parts put together small sca.e, with
each part numbered the same as the correspon-

apples:-
!. They were kept in closets. in q cold
dark cellar, free from moisture. These
closes are made of ordinary lumber, with
tight fitting doors. The shelves are made
to slide that they may be removed at pleas
ure, laticed to afford free circulation of air,
and only far enough apart for single
layer of apples on each, and about half a
peck of unslacked lime was placed in an
open pan on tine floor of each closet. The
apples were hand-picked. and without
more than ordinary care, were taken TO
the cellar and put upon the shelves. one
bushel filled three of them. Those show
ing signs of decay were removed. The
Winter Pearman and the Roman Stem
retained their flavor till the middle oI
March. The Cider apple was much bet
ter than in December, but before April be.
came mealy. The variety known here as
the Regular, but which | think is the
Redding, still retains its qualities. and
have no doubt can be kept until August
Another Apple, and few Russets, are
the only kind upon which l have tried thl:
experiment. The total cost oi the fv.

Patent Portable
Upright
= a W MILL.

TN presenting to the public the claims of this
l. machinery, we will state that it's production
is the result of the combined efforts ef several
Of the most practical machinists and expert
snced saw-mill men in the country.
During the last few years We have examined
many new inventions and appliances in this
:on ection, and have consulted with several
thousand mechanics, fully experienced in the
lse of machinery for the manufacture of lum,
Der. During the last year we have sold aud
shipped to varieaS parts of this continent neai-
ly one hundred steam mills, the results of which
have afforded MS large amount of practical
information, as to the difficulties to be over
come, the defects to be guarded against, and
he objects to be obtained i'll machinery of this
character.
The Mill we now offer does not claim its su-
periority from any single improvement or pat
ant which it may embrace, but as combina-
tion OF all the most valuable improvements
which could be included with single machine
added to which several new appliances
lately patented, and others for which patents
have been applied for. 1t has been thorough
ly and practically tested, and has been examin-
ed by large number of well-known scientific
and experienced mechanics, whose certificates
we shall soon publish, all of whom pronounce
it more simple in it's construction, more dnra-
bic and more efficient in its operations than any
mill ever before produced.
