SIT AND SET, LAY AND LIE.-The words
tsit +" and ''set" are too often mistaken for
each other. When grammar class is asked,
for the first time, if it is right to say "hens
SET" the "Court SETS, one half of them,
perhaps, will vote one way and the other half
the other. The Court means the Judge or
judges; the judges orthe judge sits, the Court
sits, the jury sits, hens sit birds sit. Setting
hen is wrong hens are not settlers or point
ers Set requires an objective case /; we set a
chair, but we sit in it, There is similar diff
flculty in the use of lie and lay" In FAM
lilies whose hens set, everything lays and
all LAY abed.' The quoted words are wrong.
Lay means to place, and requires an objective.
as, s'The hen lays eggs" Now lay me.'
We should say the book lies on the table he
lies abed lies low; everybody lies, if you
please, but nobody lays unless he has some
thing to lay"

OLD Shoes Everything tangible seems to
have two or more states of existence. Now
II Is quiet possible that you think, if you look
very sharply at an. old shoe when you throw it
away, you know IT again II it ever comes back
to you. But that doscn't follow at all. One
Of these days you may button your dress with
an old pair Of slippers, comb your hair with
boot, or grasp a cast off gaiter while you eat
your dinner. You don't see how this can bep
Well, ven tell you.
Old shoes ire turned to account by manu-
facturers in the following manner
They are cut into small pieces, and kept
for . couple Of days in chloride Of sulphur.
The effect Of this is to make the leather hard
and brittle. Next, the material is withdrawn
from the action Of the chloride Of sulphur,
washed with water and dried. When
thoroughly dry, 1t is ground to powder, and
mixed with some substance like glue or gum,
that causes il to adhere together. 1t is then
pressed into moulds and shaped into buttons,
combs, knife handles, etc
So you will see how 1t may come to pass
that You will comb yonr hair with boot, and
fasten your clothes with a slipper.

THE DUKES LESSON.

There was once duke who disguised him
self, and placed u great rock in the middle OF
the road near his palace. Next morning
peasant came that way with his ox-cart.
"Oh, these Lazy people, said he, there is
this big stone lying right in the middle Of the
road, and no one will take the trouble 10 put
it out of the way And SO Hans went on
raving about the laziness of the people,
Next came q gay soldier along. His head was
held SO far back that he didn't notice the
stone, 50 he stumbled over Il. lie began TO-
STORM at the country people around there, for
leaving huge rock in the road. Then he
went on. Next came a company of merchants.
When they came to the stone, the road was SO
narrow that they had to go off in single file on
either side. One of them cried out: " Did
anybody ever see the like of that big stone ~
ing here all the morning, but no one stopping
to take it away?" 1t lay there for three
weeks, and no one tried to remove it. Then
the duke sent around word to all tho people
on his lands to meet near where this rock lay,
came, and great crowd gathered. Old
llans, the farmer, was there, and so were the
merchants. A horn was heard, and SPLEEN
did cavalcadc came galloping up. The duke
came down from his horse, and began to
speak to the people: MY friends it was
who put this stone here three weeks ago.
Every passer-by has left it just where 1t was
and has scolded his neighbor for not taking it
out Of the way" lie stopped down and
lifted up the stone. Directly underneath it
was a round hollow, and in the hollow lay
small leather bag. The duke held up this
bag, that all might see what was written on
it: For him who lifts up the stone" He
united the bag and turned it upside down, and
out upon the stone fell a beautiful gold ring,
and twenty large bright gold coins. Sothey
all lost the prize, because they had not learned
the lesson or formed the habit of diligence.

HISTORY OF AN ADROIT FoRGER.
~-DAvENPoRr, Iowa, February Is. -
The man Egglesht, who swindled the
banks of this city by means of forged
checks last week. is implicated in many
similar operations in other places. On
the 18th Of last December he victim
lied three banks in Grand Rapids to
the amout of $1,000, and he is known
to be the man: who, in like manner,
forged checks on the banks of Quincy,
Lafayette and Toledo. This morning
Mr.. Samuel L. Fuller, a banker of
Grand Rapids, whose bank lost 81 :
600, arrived in this city and identi-
fed the torger, now in Jail here. A
de ectiye is now here, aud has been
working up the case for two months
past, following up this same Egglesnt
The detective Is that there it gang
of these men. and he has certain know
ledge of several other members of it
whose arrest is considered certain.
There are now six charges for forgery
pending against the forger here, aud
he is in jail in default of $4,000 bail.
The man has over a dozen aliases,
among them Eggicsht, Wilkins, Crane,
Munnell, etc.

Mrs. 6, ANT-Mrs. Grant is ma
tive, moth,rly, natural woman, making
pretense to neither beauty nor brillian-
cy. She is undeniably plain as to
features, ut her neck and arms are
white and beautifully nodded, and, al.
though weighing over 100 pounds, she
wears slender, small shoes. She is
particularly well-read, and her CONVEX
sational powers are quite commonplace
but she has a comfortable simplicity
of manner. Nature has endowed her
with one great gift which she niggard-
ly keeps for crowned heads or few
petted favorites. Mrs. Grant has the
power OF remembering faces and names
to such a degree that once seen or
heard they forever linger in her men,
cry. Macaulay had this gift, as had
also Henry Clay and Thackeray and
Mrs. General Sherman possesses it in
a lesser degree.

Mrs CHIEF JUsrICE WAITE.-In
Cincinnati they tell little story about
Mrs Chief Justice Waite. About d
month ago, before General Grant had
preached Mr. Waite's name to the
Senate-though Gen. Hillyer says
Waite has always been Grants first
choice but before anything was
thought of the matter by the Waites,
Mrs Waite wrote an article on cook
cry for the Cincinnati Gazette The
article was signed the "Yankee Cook
Girl" It was full Of sound sugges-
tons on the cookery question, and re
plete with good advice to house-keep-
ers The article from the Yankee
Cook Girl arrested so much attention
that finally a rich Old widower in Gin
clnnati wrote to the editor, Sam Reed,
that he would be glad to give the
Yankee Cook Girl situation-not as
a servant, but she might preside over
his household In fact he offered
marriage. Mr.. Reed had to answer
IN paragraph that the Yankee Cook
Girl W. not in marriage she having
gots Eation in a neighboring city.
The Eple Of Cincinnati don t even
know now that the Yankee Cook Girl
was Mrs. Waite, the sensible and
practical wife Of the new Chief Justice.
and that her new situation is to be the
highest in the land-chief mistress in
Uncle Sans household Of law and
justice.
There is a serious riot in the St.
Clair County Coal Mines. The Gov
ernor of Illinois has sent down 100
stand Of arms and ammunition, at The
request Of the Sheriff.

DEFAULTlNG STATE TREASURER -

DEFAuLTlNG STATE TREASURER -
The investigation of the affairs of 10
siah &, Hayes, State Treasurer of Kan
sas. begins to reveal some very ugly
facts The correspondent of the Kan
sas City Times telegraphs that paper
that it has already been shown tina,
Collins, Hayes chief clerk, has been
10 the habit of loaning the State $
money in large sums not only to banks
but also to individuals. Among other
the Cashier Of the Shawnee County
National Bank got $4,000 aud the
bank itself $4,000. That this was
done with the knowledge and consent
of the Treasurer is shown by the fact
that he himself loaned to the People,
Bank at Olathe $4,000, giving to the
bank State paper worth every cent
upon It's face, and taking for security
paper that was worthless.
