The Sand Blast

Among the wonderful and useful In
sventions of the times is the common sand
blast. /. Suppose you desire to- letter "a
piece Of marble for q grayest0ne y0,l
cover the stone with a sheet of wax no
thicker than wafer, then cut in the wax
the name; date, etc. leaving the marble
exposed 7 Nowspass it odnder the blast,
and, the waxt1iM not beiiigured cat all,
but the sand willcut;letters deep intoathei
stone. ,es,, e EE sse.5Yg,a qe 81 y1jaliOa
Or, if you desire raised letters, a flower,
or other emblem, cut the letters, flowers,
ETC., in wax and stick them upon the.
stone; then pass the stone under the blast,
and the sand viii cut it away. Remove
the wax, and syon4 have the raised letters. =
Take apiece of French plate glass, say
two feet by six, and cover it with fine
lace; pass it under the blast and not a
thread of the lace will be injured, but the
sand will cat deep into the glass wherey-
er it is not covered by the lace. Fow re
move the lace and you have every delicate
and beautiful figure upon the glass.
I In this way beautiful figures of all
kinds are cut in glass, and at small
expense. The workmene can hold their
hands under the blast without harm, even
when it is rapidly cutting away the hard
est glass, iron or stone, but they must
look out tor finger nails: for they will be.
Whitfield off right hastily. ...,,,a I..s.,
If they put on steel .thimbles to pro-.
tect the nails it will do little good, for
the sand will soon whittle them sway !;
but if they wrapia piece of soft cotton
around them they are safe. You wille,at
once see the philosophy; Of zitrld The
sand whittles away and destroys any hard
substance, even glass, but does net affect
substances that are soft and yielding, like
wax, cotton or fine lace, or even the hu-s

duties which many Americans would

every penny of expenditure Is set down

A BLIND MANS DUEL.

A Romantic Scene On the Deck of Missis
| sippi Steamer.
1t IS doubtful if any theatre ever of
tered such volumes of romantic 1nciden
as the deck of the old-time Mississippi
steamer. In the old days before railroad:
trayersed the continent in every direc
ton, and the West was wilderness, New
Orleans was the Mecca of travellers, anC
the fleet wave-borne palaces of the inlanC
sea carried thousands of pleasure seekers
to the South. 1t was then that life was
carousal, and men and women gave them
selves up to the most lavish enjoyments
| Gaming was custom, and courage ar
| instinct. Men were as prone to brawls as
the sparks to fly upwards. Conspicuous
among the fierce and rollicking habi,ues
of the steamers was Captain West, noted
duellist One day he engaged In con.
troversy with a gentleman whom he met
on the deck, whom he accused of staring
at him impertinently. - . "S -
"Why do you look at me SO intentlY?''
demanded the captain.
81 was not looking at you," calmly re-
piled the stranger, his meanwhile fixed in
a stony glare upon the duell1st's face.
"But you are, SIR"
81 am not" ..s,.s
TIE captain turned away, but a short
time afterward he felt those stony eyes
were again upon him and following all
his movements with pitiless ferocity. 1t
became inexp1essibly annoying, and the
captain at last determined to make an
end of it, Stepplngsup to the stranger,
he inquired, with suppressed passion
''Can you fight as we'll as look!"
''Perhaps so. l never tried it. Place
me, however, in position, and 1 will do
my best
The singular conduct Of the stranger
had by this time attracted universal at
tention, and whispered conferences re-
garding his remarkable appearance agi-
tated little groups Of persons all over the
boat. In a short time, however, the ves-
sci rounded to at a landing for wood,
and then the parties to the impromptu
duel went ashore. The stranger. was
led otf~by a~negro servant who
seemingly picked his way. Indeed, from
the intense interest he was manlfesting in
the encounter, the colorcd servant was APP

ted for preiminaries was brief, and the
men were speedily put in position, and
pistols placed in their hands.
The word was given, ana two ringing
reports flashed out on the air. Captain
West fell pierced to the heart. The stran-
gcrstood erect, calm and Idignitied. His

And he was. The tragedy was a nine

were rife as to the identity of the fatal

circumstances went to make up an Incl

everything that surgical skill could devise was

with surgeons Of this city and Massllon, to ampu-
ta'e the limb above the knee, which was done on
Saturday afternoon, and the Doctor is doing as
well as can be expected
1t Is thought the accident was occasioned by
the young man at the stable not putting on the
burr when he oiled the axle Of that wheel, though
he says that he did and that 1t must have came
