SIGNoR BLrrz, while travelling on
the cars, once stopped at station
where an apple hey entered the train.
Bitz, after patronizing him, cut open
IN apple and took silver half-dollar
out of it, greatly to the boys astonish-
ment. eff that's the kind of fruit you
sell I'll take another" said Bhtz, which
he did, and 10. there was another half
dollar inside it. Blitz, assuming great
excitement, then asked the boy what he
would take for the whole basket of APP
Piles, saying, it would be grand spec
ulation. But the lad refused to sell
even at five cents apiece, aud, on, leav-
ing the station, Blitz saw him seated
by the wall cutting open the unsold
apples, in vain search for silver half
dollars.

Receipts for WhItcSyn

The following is sent out by the
Lighthouse Board of the Treasury
Department:
"The following recipe for whitewash
has been found by experience to ans
wer on wood, brick, and stone, nearly
as we'll rs oil paint, and is much cheap
or. Stake half bushel of unslaked
lime with boiling water, keeping it
covered during the process. Strain it
and add n peek of salt, dissolved in
warm water; three pounds Of ground
rice put in boiling water, and boiled to
thin paste; half a pound of powder
ed Spanish whiting, and pound OF
clear glue, dissolved in warm water;
mix these well together, and let the
mixture stan for several days. Keep
the wash thus prepared in II kettle or
portable furnace, and when used, put
it on rs hot rs possible, with painters
or whitewash brushes
They also give the following direc.
tons for making wash, composed in
part of hydraulic cement. They ln-
stance particular kind OF cement,
though other varieties are equally good
if they are ground as finely, the only
difference in the result being in the
Rosendale cement, three parts, clear
sand one part, and mix them thorough
ly with fresh water. This will give a
gray or granite color, dark or light, ac-
cording to the color Of the cement. If
brick color is desired, add enough
Venetian red to the mixture to produce
that color. The cement, sand and col
oring matter must be mixed together
If white is desired, the walls, when
new, should receive bwo coats OF cement
wash, and then whitewash. After the
work has received the first coat a single
coat every three or four years will be
sufficient 1t is best to thoroughly
dampen the wall with clean, fresh water
and follow Immediately after with Mle
cement wash. This course will prevent
the bricks from absorbing the water
from the wash too quickly, and will
give time for the cement to set. Care
must be taken to keep I'll the ingredi-
ents of the cement-wash well stirred
during the APPLICATION Of it. The mix
ture must be made Us thick as it can
be conveniently put on with white
wash brush.
The following recipe found in one of
our exchanges, is recommended for
trial where wash is wanted that will
help preserve the wood and which will
not be liable to wash off by the
action Of the rain Sc Take good
quick lime, in Jumps, slake 1t with hot
water, and while shaking add, to what
will make pallful, pound Of tallow,
or any grease free from dirt. 1t may
be rancid, smoked, or otherwise unfit
for kitchen use As soon as the vie
lent shaking is over, STIR thoroughly.
All the water should be added before
the shaking ceases, and the mixture
should be complete. This forms in the
whitewash an insoluble lime soap,
which, if the whitewash in diluted
with cold water, often separates in
minute clots II the mixture be well
made, it will be very smooth, and is
little affected by the rain"

Some Old Watches.
From the Boston Traveller.

FROM DOstOH lTaNeiet.
On the Waltham table at the Woman
Suffrage Bazaar there is case of curl
Gus old watches to be seen, some OF
them the oldest in the country. These
show the progressive steps of watch
making since 1900 up to the present
time. Among them is one made by
Linnebac at Orleans, about the year
1900, before screws or hair-springs were
used. It is a small silver watch, the
"barrel and "fusee," and the power
is communicated from one to the other
by means of horse hair or something of
that kind.
There is also very ancient "bull's
eye" that seems to have seen hard SER
vice; it's face is SCARED and its hands
gone. This one was made by Alexan-
Dire fifty or sixty years later than the
other This to some extent is held to-
gether by screws, and has the hair
spring and chain instead of the horse
hair, Though old and full of years it
yet retains some vitality. Both of
these watches have the verge escape
ment, which requires them to be twice
as thick as those now made.
Another one is very curious in con
struction and interesting from associa-
ton. This belonged to the Duke of
Wellington, and was obtained from
Grattan when he was last in this coun-
try. It is large enough to fill a watch
pocket three times the present size
The carving on the gold case represents
battlefield, with tents, cannon and
implements of war; on one side is an
elephant, indicating the battle to have
been in the East. Rising above the
scene is the rock of Gibralter, upon
which is planted the British lion and
flag; in the distance the rising sun is
seen between the pillars of Hercules.
The case and the carving are of differ
ent colored gold On the white enam-
eled face are indicators of the day OF
the week, of the month, the changes of
the moon, with second, minute and
hour hands. 1t strikes the hours and
quarters regularly, and will do this at
any time BY touching spring, thus
giving to the ear the time within a
quarter of an hour.

Mr.. F. s. BEDELL, an Indiana editor,
complains that twice within two years
have editorial associations in that State
published highly complimentary obitu-
airy resolutions relating exclusively TO
himself, and most unaccountably de-
claring him to be down among the dead
men practically. He says that AZ he
has not yet been called upon to write
his own obituary, he thinks his breth-
rem Of the State Press must have been
misinformed when they were told of
his untimely demise.

WE are at last called upon to record
that the "dip" has entirely disappeared
from good society, and the plain 'Bos-
tor" completely superseded it. A few
still stand by the fallen favorite, but
their numbers daily grow less and
soon, like the Grecian bend, the CHG
non, and the bicycle, the graceful, all
conquering "dipn will be numbered
among the things that once were, but

THE unkind Horace Greeley says
It does seem rather hard to refuse Mrs
Woodruff the privilege of making a
speech on Woman Suffrage in the Rep
resentatives' Hall in Washington. But
perhaps this is only the beginning of n
much-needed REFORM for we cannot
see any reason why Congress should
find hall for every man or woman who
wishes to deliver an address, Grafton,
lecture, or appeal The building was
put up at the national expense, and II
large sum of money spent on it for no
such purpose. People who must lecture
or perish should be willing to pay ut
least for the gas; and if they have any
thing to say which the public cares to
listen TO, the public will not object TO
paying small fee for admission and
permission to listen.

of the bishops address was loud and prolonged.
The contribution that had been taken up by
some members of ST. Stephens Society amount
cd to a sum quite large.
AS soon as the Archbishop had been robed in
his sacerdotal vestments, the clergy, preceded
by the acolytes, the Right Rev. Bishop Quitiian
and the Most Rev. Archbishop Pcrche follow
ing, were conducted to the
fEsCORSER-STONE.
The prayers :. do -.se.-istions." sat dow. iG
the rubric, were then said by the Arch bishop,
whilo the ceremony of blessing proceeded.
The tiffany OF the Saints was chantcd by the
clergy-the Archbishop himself intoning the
invocation of the litany that applies to the
faithful departed. The litany concluded, the
canticle "Jacobus" was recited, followed by
Psalm 100 "Nisi Domnus rditcat dorum
in vanum iaborarant qui pdifcant eum."-
(Uuless the Lord build the house, they labor in
vain that build it) While the clergy were
chanting this psalm, the Archbishop, receiving
the trowcl, cemented the stone in its place.
This completed that portion of the ceremony
that specially applied to the cornerstone.
TIE CIRCUIT
of the foundation of tho proposed edce was
then made by the clergy in solemn procession,
the g MisacIe' being chanted by the assistant
priests During the circuit the Archbishop
blessed thu grounds and the foundations of the I
church. Returning to the main PLATFORM u |
few minutes were spent in silent prayer. The
Most Rev Archbishop then pronounced the |
solemn be,ediction, and the throng slowly and |
decoronslS dispersed.
