A GOOD TEST.-In consideration of
the fact that frequent explosions in
coal oil, kerosene, etc., are of almost
daily occurrence, endangering life and
property, the following simple method
of testing the pure (non-explosive)
from the impure or mixed (eXplosive)
article, may be of benefit to people
who are obliged to use coal oil instead
of gas. A gentleman connected with
one of the principal railways centering
at Harrisburg informs us the oil used
for the "head-light" or reflector of an
engine, is mixture of pure, refined
coil oil and lard. In order to prevent
explosions, it is highly necessary touse
the pure article of coil oil. To ascer-
tain whether the latter is pure, guam
tity is poured out upon board or fiat
piece of stone or iron, and a piece Of
burning paper applied to it. If the
oil takes fire, and burns, creating
fame, it is pronounced an adulteratiOn
and unfit for use. On the other hand,
pure oil will not burn in the open air,
when thus tested, and its safety may
be relied upon. In this manner large
quantities for railway purposes are test
ed. The hint is worthy the attention of
consumers of coal oils All the kero-
sene, or so called "refined" coal oil
that will not stand the above test,
ought to be promptly excluded from
every household.

IMPEACHMENT TRIALS.

Since the adoption of the Constitu-
ton there have been five trials of inn
parchment by the Senate. The first
of these was that of William Blount,
Senator from Tennessee. 1t COM
menced December 18th, 1898, and was
concluded January 14th, 1899. The
next was the trial of John Pickering,
Judge of the New Hampshire District,
which lasted from March Sd to March
18th, 1903. The third was that of
Sam'l Chase, one of the Associate Judg-
es of the Supreme Court of the United
States, which was commenced Novem-
Der 30th, 1904, and lasted until March
lst, 1905. The fourth was the trial of
James H. Peck, Judge of the Missouri
District, which was prolonged through
two sessions, viz: from May 18th to
May 25th, 1880, and from December
3Oth of the same gear to January 3lst,
1881. The Iast trial by the Senate was
on the impeachment of Judge Hum
phreys, IF the Tennessee District, about
the year 1868, we think but the record
is rot before us.
1t may be interesting to give brief
sketch Of the mode of proceeding in
trials on impeachment. After the
House has resolved to make charges,
a committee is appointed to ilnpeach
the accused before the Senate. Then
the Senate, by its Sergeant-at-arms,
summons the accused to appear and
answer. He is then furnished with a
copy of the charge, and allowed time
to answer them. The House of Rep
resentatives replies to theanswer when
it is put in, declares its readiness to
prove its charges, and appoints man.
ayers to conduct the mpeachment.-
A time is then determined for the
trial. The accused has the advantage
of legal advisers, and witnesses in his
behalf are compelled to attend. The
forms of trial are the same as in other
courts of justice. When the trial is
concluded, the Senate considers the
subject, and each Senator, having been
previously sworn, as jurors are sworn,
is called by name and says whether
the accused in his opinion is guilty or
not guilty. If two-thirds of the Sen
ators declare him guilty, then Judge
ment to the effect is pronounced. The
sentence of the Senate on trial of i'm
parchment is limited to removal from
office, and future disqualification tC
hold any Office under the United
J States,

WHERE'S THAT MANIA few days
ago the agent of az accidental insurance
company entered railroad car, and ap-
preaching an exceedingly gruff old
man, asked him If he did not want to
stake out policy" He was told Ito
get out with his policy" and passed
on. After riding about an hour, an ac-
cident occurred on the train, and the
car ran over the sleepers, causing much
CONSERVATION among the passengers.
The old man jumped up, and seizing
hook at the side of the car to steady
himself, called out "where's that insur.
ance man," The question caused a
roar of laughter among the passengers,
who for the time forgot their danger.

sHE WOULDN'T MARRY A MECHANIC

! A young man commenced visiting a
young woman, and appeared to be well
pleased. One evening he called when
it was quite late, which led the young
lady to enquire where he had been.
II had to work to night"
"What! do you work for a living?"
she enquired in astonishment.
Certainly" replied the young man,
81 am mechanic"
81 dislike the name of q mechanic"
and she turned up her pretty nose.
That was the last time the young
man visited that young woman. Heis
now a wealthy man, and has one of the
best women in the country for his wife.
The lady who disliked the name of
mechanic is now the wife of a misera-
BILE fool-a regular vagrant about grog
shops-and the soft, verdant, silly mis-
cradle girl is Obliged to take in wash
ing in order to support herself and
children.
You dislike the name of a mechanic,
oh? You whose brothers are but well
dressed loafers. We pity any girl who
has so little brains, who is so verdant,
so soft, as to think less of 3 young man
for being a mechanic-One of Gods
noblemen-the most dignitied and hon
orable parsonage of heavens creatures.
Beware, young ladies, how you treat
young men who work for living, for
you may one day be menial to one of
them yourself.
Far better to discharge the well-fed
pauper with all his rings, jewelry,
brazeness and pomposity, and take to
your affections the callous handed, in
telligent and industrious mechanic.
Thousands have bitterly regretted
their folly who have turned their backs
to honesty. A few years have taught
them a severe lesson.

worthy deacon hired iourneyman
farmer from neighboring town for
the Summer, and induced him, al
though he ewas unaccustomed to church
going-to accompany the family to
church on the first Sabbath of his stay.
Upon their return to the deacon's
house he asked his hired man how
he liked the preaching. He replied
"I don't like to hear any minister
preach politics"
81 am very sure you heard no pol
itics to-day" said the deacon.

man.

deacon.

ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT.

The articles of impeachment against
the President of the United States,
were presented to the House on Sat
urday by Mr.. Boutwell,. AS we have
not space to print them in full this
week, we give the following synopsis
from the Baltimore SIM:
1t will be seen that the committee
do not take up any act of the President
prior to the removal of Mr.. Stanton.
Most ofthe articles are based upon the
alleged violation of the civil-tenure
act, passed March 3, 1867, including
those from to 5, as we'll as and 8.
In addition to these, article charges
unlawful conspiracy with General
Thomas to obtain possession of United
States property in the War Depart
ment, in violation of the act of July
81, 1861, which provides "that if two
or more persons within any State or
Territory of the United States, shall
conspire together by force to prevent,
hinder or delay the execution of any
law of the United States, or by force
to seize, take or possess any property of
the United States against the will or
contrary to the authority of the United
States or by force or intimidation or
threat to preventany person from accep-
ting holding any Office or trust place
of confidence under the United States,
each and every person so offending
shall be guilty of high crime" Ar
ticle 9 charges an unlawful effort to
control the disbursement of funds
for the military service and for the
War Department, contrary to the civ
el-tenure act. Article 10 charges that
the President, as communicating -chiet
of the army, declared to and instruct
ed the commanderof the department
of Washington, General Emory, that
the portion of the army appropriation
bill of March 2, 1867, which ''provides
that all orders and instructions rela-
ting to military operations, issued by
the President or Secretary of War,
shall be issued through the general OF
the army" &C., was unconstitutional
and in cOntravention of the commits
sion of said Emory, the intent being
thereby "to induce said Emory" tC
"viOlate the provisions of said law ,
and receive and act upon orders from
Mr.. Johnson which would not be is
sued through the general of the army
all of which is declared to render the
President guilty ola high misdemean'
or in Office.
Accompanying the articles of i'm
parchment is the testimony of Genera
Emory, as we'll as of Luit. Col. Wal
lace, commanding the garrison o
Washington, as in support of the al
legations of the tenth article, which
it seems to us, it is impossible for any
one to read without unspeakable aston
ishment at the audacity which seeks
to found a guilty charge upon so film
sy a basis The provision in question
is one of those gross and incOngruou
provisions which are sometimes injec
ted into toappropriation bills for a pur
pose, and by which often not only th'
public officials themselves are entrap
ped; but in this case the evidence
does not show that anything at all wa
done in violation of the act; on thC
contrary, it would appear that on {
due understanding of the position The
president no further referred to the

BULLY BoY.-Old man Grant, Ulys-
ses' father is writing the early life of
his son, which is now being published.
He says that when Ulysses was boy,
if a circus or any show came along, in
which there was a call for somebody to
come forward and ride pony, he was
always the one to present himself, and
whatever he undertook to ride he rode.
This practice he kept up, until he got
to be so large that he was ashamed to
ride pony" The first chapter only
comes down to Ulysses twelfth year.
In the next we look for the Old man to
give us graphic description of the first
drink of ''red eye" his precious boy
ever took.
