The officers of Magnolia Commandery would

A Ten Thousand Dollar Girl.

MUST give you story lately told me
which goes to show the value of the girl
of the period. On q certain day, on
1onpsylvania railroad, belle OF thriv-
ibs Pennsylvania town, the daughter of
wealthy lumber merchant, was travelling
in the same car with a shrewd old citizen
of her native town and an agreeable
young gentleman from the West, who tells
the story. The latter had been talking to
the belle, but as night drew on and
the young lady grew drowsy he gave
up his seat to her and placed himself be-
side the somewhat cynical Pennsylvania.
The latter began the conversation by
pointing to high mountain past which
they were whirling, and said You see
that mountain. Six or eight years ago it
was covered with as fine forest as ever
grew, and was worth $4,000 and up.
ward. Now, without tree, covered
with stumps, the land is scarcely worth
a continental. The net produce Of that
mountain lies over there in that seat,'
and he pointed to the recumbent belle;
"that is my calculation. Ithas just about
absorbed all of that lumber which her
father owned to raise and educate that
girl, pay for her clothes and jewelry, bring
her out in society, and maintain her there.
Some of you young men, perhaps, if you
were given your choice between the
mountain yonder as 1t now stands and the
net produce on that seat would take the
net produce; but as for me, give me the
stumps."-C0r. N. Y. Graphic.

POlfteness AZ an Investment.

The grievous error we fall into is. in
looking for direct instead of indirect com.
pensation. When we declare that polite
ness costs nothing, we really understate.
Not only does Il cost nothing-it is
materially profitable in the long, scme-
times in the short run. Every one of us
goes where he is we'll treated, and STAYS
away from where he is i'll treated. In
great city competition in each branch of
trade is necessarily active, and the trades
man or merchant who is courteous on
principle must soon discover that his
principle and interest are identical. What
man ever forgets the place or person
where or by whom he was affably received,
when there was no visible motive for such
reception? The poorest memory, the
least impossible nature, will retain so
much as that.
Smith, who lives uptown, actually goes
far downtown to buy his smallest gar
ment, because, years ago, a bit of in.
formation was pleasantly given to him at
the shop he now regularly patronizes.
Jones does not object to walking half a
dozen blocks out of his way in order to
purchase cigars, for the reason that the
cigar-vender comprehends the art of
amiability.
Robinson will never have another hat
ter (though his friends criticise his hats)
from the fact that the halter once exchanged
q defective head covering without grumb-
ling, or even without trying to make
Robinson believe that he did not know
what he wanted-Junius Henri Br0sone,

How They Drop Shot.

A reporter of the Baltimore american
thus describes one of the n.any processes
of making shot in one of the shot.towers
of that city:
One of the "secrets" of the manufac-
ture is the mixing of the lead with Ger.
tain proportion of a combination of min
eral substances called "temper." The
temper" is fused with the lead, and
gives the molten metal that consistency
which makes it drop. If it were not for
the temper" the lead would be nodded
by the sieve, and would form little pencils
instead of round shot. When Obj"
shot, for instance, are to be made, the lead
is poured into pan perforated with
holes corresponding to that size. The
little pellets come pouring down in con-
tindous shower, and fall into a tank filled
with water on the ground floor. In their
descent of 200 feet they become perfect
spheres, firm and dense, and they are toll
erably cool when they strike the water,
although the swift conclusions make the
tank foam and bubble as if the water was
boiling furiously. The shot must fall in
water, for if they would strike any firm
substance they would be fattened and
knocked out of shape. To get the little
pellets perfectly dry after they have been
in the "well" is the most difficult and
troublesome process of the whole manu-
facture. An elevator with small buckets
Every much like those used in flour mills)
carries the shot up as fast as they reach
the bottom of the "well," and deposits
them in box sixty feet above the first
floor. The water drips from the buckets
as they 60 up, and not much is poured
into the receiver above, although it is in
tended to be sort of dripping machine.
From this receiver the shot runs down a
spout into drying pan, which greatly
resembles gigantic shoe, made of sheet
iron. The pan rests at an angle which
permits the wet shot to roll slowly down
to the chamber below, and the pellets
become perfectly dry as they pass over
the warm sheet iron,

along some half mile past the little Pug
borough station.
To signal to the driver and put on the
brake was the work of an instant, The
train was brought to stand-still, and then
slowly backed to the station, amid the
fierce denunciatf6ns Of the through pas
sengers.
The guard himself was much out of
temper-angry with himself for his for
getfulness, angry with the old gentleman
tor having given him 80 much trouble.
Now, then," he shouted 10 the man
servant. "Sharp! Look after your mas
ter's traps. Here you are, sir, !" he cried,
opening the frstc1ass carriage. "Here's
Pugborough. Now, sir, if you please ="
The old gentleman was asleep, aud
couldn't be reused to sense of the situa-
ton for some time. He growled and
grumbled; at last, fully reused, he stared
at the guard with lack-luster eyes.
"Pugborougb, is it Pugborough? Thank
you, guard; remember. Where's viii.
son! Wilson! Wilson! where's nv box p"
"Never mind your box, sir-I'll see to
the luggage. Jump out quick, please"
"Jump out!" cried the old gentleman :;
/" Jump out! Why should I jump out?
Who said anything about getting outr'
"What" cried the guard, aggrieved to
the very verge of desperation. Haven't
you been bothering about Pugboroueh
ever since we left Euston?"
AT your own request, guard" said
the old gentleman, calmly, Il intrusted
you with the duty of warning me of nv
arrival at Pugborough. I should have
preferred to leave the task to nv own SER
want. All! here's the box. Thank you,
Wilson," said the old gentleman, taking
from his servants hands a small pink
box.
THE fact is" said the old gentleman,
calmly opening the box and looking at
the excited guard, "that my daughter
gave me the most particular injunctions.
Mind, papa, she said, be sure you take
pill at Pugborough.
The old gentleman could never under
stand why the carriage door was dashed
to with such terrific violence, the whistle
sounded with such q fiendish yell, and
Wilson whirled into his carriage without
being permitted to take charge once more
of his masters pill Jour-
