The Biggest PiOw i'm the World.

About month ago the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railroad Company gave
an order to the celebrated plow manufac-
turers, Hirshheimer & Barclay. Of La
Crosse, Wis.,, for plow to be built accord
ing to drawings furnished, which should
be the largest plow in the world. When
at La Crosse, the other day, we were invit-
to take its measurements. The plow be-
ing now ready for delivery. we give some
weights and dimensions, which will enable
one to form some idea of it. The share
weighs 3S2 pounds. the mOld-bOard $50
pounds, the beam 800 pounds, the coulter
and clasp $50 pounds, the clevis GO pounds,
and the standard l34 pounds. The sizes
Of the principal parts are: The beam is
l6 IL feet long, 10 inches wide and II

inches. the standard 4Ox7xl l-2 inches, the
mold-board is 8 feet by 36 inches, and the

This Is the latest catch. Two men enter
a saloon, walk up to the bar, and converse
as If they had just met. One draws forth
his handkerchief, mops off his brow, and
remarks:
''Gracious, how do transpire -
Says the other:
''You mem perspire; there Is no such
word use.l in that sense as traE splre."
''There is" says number orie, land I'll
bet you on that point"
An outsider IL then referred to by sharp
er number two, and, as general thing, he
sides with the latter in saying that there ID
no such word used in that sense.
''If you think so" number one says, ri
will bet you that am right"
A bet is made, number two generally
taking part Of it with the stranger. Then
a dictionary is procured, the word is found,
and the stranger learns that Webster's
Unabridged says: Transpire-ro emit
through the excretories of the skim"
Then the victim sets up the drinks. That
b the way it transpires.

Henry VIII died one day with great sue
cess. He left three children, who did not
care to 60 with him. Their names were
Mary, Elizabeth and Edward. The last
was the Ed of the family. He was boy.
His sisters were not. Their father also
left a will. His will was stronger than all
his children. By will Earl Hertford was
to boss the estate while Edward was
young. Hertford loved the glass go much
he became tumbler and was called the
Earl of Summerset He wanted the King
to take the Queen-of Scotland-but the
trick was lost because the Scotch refused
to assist. The Duke was called the Pro-
tector because he protected his own family
and put everybody else away in a tower.
The border men of Scotland and England
were those who boarded on the frontier
and bored each other almost tu death so
they had fight about Edward marrying
their Queen. The English attacked them
by water, which they couldn't stand. His
tory says that the Scotch loss was 10, 600
and the English 200. History lies; proba-
bly,. The government told the people
what to believe. If they did as they were
told they must pay taxes to support their
belief If they didn't do so they were
roasted, Things were red hot. Somebody
told stories about the Protector, and SO he
was taken to the tower and had his head
chopped off. 1t was not much of head,
but he hated to part with it. Then there
was rising of the common people, but
they did not know what tor. Most of
them got raised onto trees with ropes
around their recks. Some very fat men
were burned, thus making light Of their
complaints: Now l guess it is time for
the little King to die. H was only sixteen
when he gave up the crown and the ghost.

NO VARIATION IN PRICES,
What One Woman Did.

Miss Emma Bartlett, one of the most re-
markable of American women. has just
died in this city. Twenty-Five years ago
she came to America, a penniless English
girl, and she has since, by her own unaid-
ed exertions. amassed large fortune.
Over twenty years ago she set up for her,
sell in the trade OF ha-ness making and
ddlery, starting with just enough money
TO buy leather for few haltcrs. She work
ed in little loft on Pearl street, and sold
her manufactures around the city. Her
commercial abilities were marked, and it
was not long before she employed several
journeymen. and she soon extended her
trade beyond the city. She finally travel
ed with samples of her wares, and, in the
course of time, visited every State in The
Union, and gradually built up large
trade. Six years after she started, her
business had outgrown the loft and filled a
lsrge building on Pearl street. She in
vented some machinery for harness-mak-
ing, was the first to use the sewing ma
chine for sewing leather, and bought up
all the patents on horse bonnets, thereby
securing a monopoly. She was very di-
minutive in stature, but very masculine,
full of energy and business talent, and
could drive sharp bargain with the
sharpest. She has never had nor desired a
business partner. For years she has oc-
cupied the whole Of five-stOry ware
house on Warren street, and has employed
100 wOrkmen. Her rent for the past seven
years has been $4,000 year. She leaves
her large property to relatives.-Nec York

Calcimlining.

see no answer to the inquiry about cal
cimining, SO send our method. Toput
two coats on a room II by l5 feet, get five
pounds of whiting and one-half pound OF
white glue. Pour pint Of boiling water
on the glue, and stand in warm place,
stirring frequently till it dissolves. The
glue will soak in an hour. Mix the whit
ming to a cream with warm water, and add
the glue, stirring well. 1t too thick to
spread easily, thin with water. Now try a
little on the wall. and if it rubs of when
dry, add more dissolved glue; but the
above amount will make 1t stick if the glue
is good. Shade with any dry color. We
use one-fourth pound of blue. and it makes
French gray. Sweep tho walls thoroughly
with a stiff broom. and scrape grease spots,
and fill all cracks or holes with whiting
made into putty with water, and allow
time for the mending to harden. If the
walls are very dirty; wash them first with
half-pound Of glue dissolved in gallon
of water, and then apply the calcimine
with white-wash brush. Put on the
ceiling first, always passing the british in
the same direction. say north and SOUTH
In putting on the second coat, pass the
brush east and west. and your ceiling will
not be streaked. In doing the walls 60

for the second. l think the lady will like

A Lady, Traef: Iowa.
Another: In your paper OF May 80 some
one asks for a recipe for calcimining. This
is mixture of glue-sizing and paris white
(not Spanish whiting as some call ill.,
The proportion is ten pounds OF paris
white to one poand of white glue, the glue
to be dissolved in three quarts Of boiling
water. The paris white should b. placed
in pail, and the boiling glue poured over
it, and then diluted with husling water un-
til about as thick as cream. 1t should only
be applied to walls that liave hard finish.
Other walls should be done with common
whitewashs namely, lime and salt.-Rich-
