Switzerland Aiming.

The little republic of Switzerland,
which has repOsed so TRANQUILITY in the
Alps for the last half century, unmind-
ful of the great wars which have been
waged all around it, is at last impressed
with the necessity of arming itself,
with the view to future contingencies.
The government has commenced reor-
ganizing the army, and fortifying more
strongly its stratetically important
places The alliances which have late
ly been made have alarmed the govern
ment, ana it is now firmly believed
that the next war upon which armed
Europe will enter will have for its
theatre Switzerland or its immediate
vicinity. In this event, the Mountain
Republic will be prepared to defend
itself. Although the antieuarians have
taken away her Tell, the old spirit
still remains there.

The C!intonS,

Colonel De Witt Clinton, who died
August II. at st. Paul, Minnesota, was
n judge advocate in the army. His
father is Judge George W. Clinton, of
Buffalo, for some twenty years past
Judge ofAthe Superior Court. His
grandfather was Governor De Witt
Clinton. His mother was a daughter
of John c Spencer, formerly Secre
tary Of War QS41-43), afterward Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and man of
powerful intellect. John G Spencer's
father, Ambrose Spencer, was also a
man of great ability, and filled the
Office of Chief Justice of the state of
New York from 1910 to 1923. A Gu
rious incident in the family history is
that Chief Justice Spencer married
successfully two sisters of Governor
De Witt Clinton, so that on both sides
Colonel Clinton's ancestry were re-
markable for intellectual power.

The state of Superior.

The Ontonagon Miner argues Ill favor
of a speedy separation OF the Upper
Peninsula and its erection into an
independent state. 1t says: 1--WE
have embraced within the proposed
new state or territory of Superior, a
mining, timber and agricultural wealth
combined, that cannot be eXcelled III
the world. In fact, We know of no
other place where the three features OF
a mining, timber and agricultural
country are combined. This being the
fact our interest, wants, and require
ments are peculiar and need special
Legislation, to obtain which must cone
from body of men residing amongst
us, and thoroughly identified with US.
knowing our every resource, people
and wants, IN no way can this better
be obtained than by separation from
the state of Michigan and the creation
of a separate territory or state of the
Upper Peninsula and the three northern
counties of Observation-Disclosures, Bay
field and Douglass-bordering on the
south shore of Lake Superior" As a
mutilator of maps the Miner is a sue
cess. The territory it has carved out
as having unity OF interest is over 400
miles IN length. and has an extreme
width at the Montreal river of about
six miles. The population, including
that of the Wisconsin counties, was
Al, $50, according to the last census.

sirous to escape from the od1um which
his late acceptance of the treaty is sure
to call forth regarding him. he has

punished an Arab of high influence,
whom he found guilt, of attempting to

is but natural that he may wish to
escape from the necessity Of acting
often IN way which must be repug-
nant to his feelings, though he may
consider it necessary to prove his bona

must also be anxious about the Muscat

ascertain how far his acceptance OF the

endeavor will be made to give HIM a
courteous welcome in London. He

That Inevitable Boy.

The Peoria Review says: In a
vigorous chase after rats, Friday after
noon, a boy on Jefferson street broke
down a shelf in the cellar and immolat
ed six jars OF preserves. He gazed on
on the ruins without sigh, caught
and killed the rat, laid it among the
debris, and, daubing his faithful dogs
nose and legs with the fruit, sent him
upstairs, while the boy hid in the
coal-shed. He heard feminine shrieks
of dismay, he heard the wrathful OBJ
jurgations of his sire, he heard the
unsuspecting dog, led into the back
yard and shot, and, spreading forth
his hands, said soelmnly. Another
victim of circumstantial evidence"

Paint Your Iron Worn,

Iron to be used III buildings requires
to be painted to preserve it from oxida-
ton. BY this means any color may be
gwen which taste may dictate or the
surroundings require. The building
should be painted inside as well as
out. The windows, lintels, stills, etc.,
must also be painted before being
placed in position. The joints should
receive coat of paint before boiling
or riveting. In applying ornaments,
they must first be painted, the screws
must be dipped in paint, and the
burrs, after drilling holes IN the iron.
should be carefully filed away and the
surface painted. Iron so treated Will
retain its sharpness of outline long after
stone has begun to crumble and break
at the edges To paint iron costs less
than the painting of wood. on account
of the non-absorbent character of its
surface. When iron, however, has
been painted a bright color, it has an
unpleasantly glaring effect on the eye
1t also magnities, and renders palpable
the defects i'll the metal. TO avoid
this, the face OF the iron is often
9rooved with fine parallel cords, which
produce very pleasing combination
of lights and shadows. -Amer5cun
