But on the other hand, while it

be seen by the following:
American lead is produced from
our mines at about 81. 10 per
huadred, or one and one.tenth
cents per pound. 1t is smelted
into bar lead and placed OH New
York market ut an advance OF
81 81, making the total cost OF
the manufactured bar at home
1910; and allowing t73 cents
freight, per hundred, to New
York, makes the price of the
article delivered, 1887. Then if
American lead is only worth
S3.31-which is to-day the quo
taton-- and it is finding a ready
market abroad at good profits,
While such are the true figures
Of The market, it is also true that
we pay for American white lead,

Pen Picture Of Bismarck.

Thus looked Bismarck during his re-
cent speech on socialism: GAS he raised
his eyes for the first time, and contract
ing his bushy brows into frown, looked
round the house rapidly, as though
taking stock of his foes, his face wore an
angry look, that BODIED evil to those
who should cross HIM during the days,
proceedings Judging from his appear
ance us he subsequently stood up whilst
speaking, it seemed that he had added
stone to his weight since last June,
and that his health is still far from what
his friends must wish it to be. His de-
livery is more broken and spasmodic
than ever; he struggles obviously with
some difficulty of breathing, and is
obliged to pause from time to time
(even in the middle of sentence) ap.
parently to gather strength or to con,
troll his temper. His hands are hardly
at rest for moment-either they are
twisting huge lead pencil, brushing at
his cults, or clutchng at the shining
breast-buttons of his dark cuirassiel
tunic. But his gray eyes are rs dark
and fierce rs of yore, and his voice, Il,
moments OF paramount excitement,
rings oct rs deiiantly and mcnacingly
rs ever. Altogether he is the most re-
markable Incorporation imaginable OF
conscious power and restrained passion
and it is not to be wondered at thai
weaker natures positively cover before
him when he is in one of his reckless
and desperate moods"

FIRST CLASS PIANOS CHEAP.--We see
from their illustrated and descriptive
catalogue. that the Mendelssohn Piano
Co., of New York, are selling their pi-
amos at prices ranging from 1925 to $4O0
The Mendelssohn piano has world wide
reputation for its power and rare beauty
of tone. Their factory is one of the
largest and most complete in the world.
The company sell pianos direct to the
people without the intervention of agents
or dealers, thereby saving purchasers
often as much as one half the prices
usually charged. They manufacture the
Grand, Square and Upright pianos. and
are among the very best instruments
offered to the public, though the plces
charged are not one third what other
manufacturers charge for no better in
struments than the Mendelssohn. IN
like some concerns who don't make n
piano at all but pick up old rattle boxes
and advertise them far and near as
"$1, 900 pianos" for mere nominal
sum, the MendelSsohn Piano Co. make
all their own instruments and warrant
them. They are not defending scores
of law suits from their customers as
others are, who advertise such wonder
full bargains. See the card Of this COM
pany in another column.

What George Washington Did Not
Know.

We don't like to be irreverent, but
would like to ask what did our fore
fathers know? What, for instance, did
George Washington know? He never
saw steamboat: he never saw fast
mail train; he never held his ear to
telephone; he never sa. for his picture
in a photograph gallery; he never re-
ceived a Geographic dispatch; he never
sighted a krupp gun: ne never listened
to the "fzz" OF an electric Zen; he never
saw pretty girl run sewing machine;
he never saw self-propelling engine
90 down the street to IL fire; he never
heard Of evolution; he never took
laushing-gas; he never had a set of
store-teeth; he never attended an inter-
national exposition; he never owned
bonanza mine; he never knew "Old
Prob" he-but why go on? No: when
he took an excursion it was on flat
boat. When he went off on tsain it
was mule train. When he wanted to
talk to a man in Milwaukee he had to
60 there. When he wanted his picture
taken it was done in profile with piece
of black paper and pair of shears
When he got the returns from back
counties they mad to be brought in by Il
man with an OK cart. When he took
aim at the enemy he had to trust to a
rook-barreled old flint lock. When he
wrote it was with a goose-quill When
he had anything to mend his grandma
ther d it with darning-needle. When
he went to fire he stood in line and
passed buckets. When he looked at a
clam he never dreamed it was any rela-
tion of his. When he went to concert
he heard a cracked fiddle and an insane
clarionet. When he had tooth pulled
he sat down and never stopped yelling
When he got out of teeth he gummed
his victuals. When he wanted an in
tarnational show he sent for Lafayette
and ordered his friend up from Old Vir-
ginia with the specimen carefully label
ed in bottles. When he once got hold
of a nugget of gold from an Indian chief
he felt rich. When he wanted to know
anything about the weather he consult
ed the grounding or the goose-bone.

The Potter Investigation.

The special bent of the American
mind seems to be that of old Si-to in.
vestigate. We began to investigte in
1860, and we have been investigating
ever since. We investigated the South
pretty thoroughly then, and now they
have caught the spirit and propose to
investigate us. Investigation, that is a
thoroughly bipartisan, unprejudiced
investigation, always leads TO one excel
lent result-the good. the true, is vindi-
Gated, and impostures are exposed.
This is precisely the reason why DIR. r.
V. Pierce invites AID urges the public
to investigate the remedial powers of
his Family Remedies. He knows that
the trial will vindicate all his claims for
them, and all that has been written of
them by grateful patients, who have
been restored to health by their use.

near eleven o'clock on the Grand Union
porch, is an example to young fellows.
