About Rubber Boots.

Undue competition between manufacturers
has led to an extent Of adulteration and
cheapening Of material never before known IL
the business. Crude rubber has the quality
Of absorbing or Of becoming incorporated
with very large quantity Of cheap aud bulky
substancesllike lampblack, chalk, etc., which
cannot be detected BY the uninitiated, and
which impair the durability Of the goods
People call for ow-priced goods, not rejecting
that low prices always means low quality.
The result ia they waste money on wild cat"
rubber boots, when an extra dollar or two
would buy them a pair which will wear to
their utmost satisfaction . whole season ,,
more. The "95 Per Cent. Sterling Rubber
Bost," manufactured by the Candee Rubber
Co., New Haven, Conn.,. Is meant to reform
this abuse, and Is well worth the inspection
of those who need real good article. Every
store dealing in the "o5 Per Cent. Sterling
Rubber Boots" is supplied with sample
cut open to show the construction. They
are warranted three months, and tho store
keepers will punch the date of sale In the

An Eccentric Gran ger.

Captain Calvin Hall, who recently
died in Somers, Mass, at the age of 90
years, was one of the most eccentric far
mers in western Massachusetts. He
would never begin piece OF work on
Friday, would cut his finger nails at
stated times, would never kill hog for
his own use unless the moon was grow
ing larger, SO that the meat would swell
while cooking, would "talk" to burns to
cure the pain, and had as many super
stitious notions as heather. To look
up and see an odd number of COWS was
to him an omen of bad luck, and to see
the new moon over his right shoulder in
dicated that good fortune lay in his
pathway. Such man was a good SUBJ
ject for spiritualism, and when the ia
BILE tippings attracted attention thirty
years ago Uncle Calvin was ready to fall
into line. He sold his farm, distributed
his property among his heirs, keeping
only what he supposed he might need,
and that he put into the hands of trus-
tees, and soon become a first class me-
dunn. He built a church in his own
town for the worshipers of the new faith
and tor many years, until incapacitated
by age, he was leader of the sect, claim
ing the power to heal sick and perform
miracles,

San Francisco the Center.

Webster's eloquent description of the
British Empire is familiar to every read
er, but we doubt whether it is generally
realized that we, to, have dominion on
which the sun neva sets. 1t will hardly
be believed, perhaR, without an exam
ination of the maps, that San Francisco,
instead of being at the western limit of
this dominion, is only about midway be-
tween our eastern and western limits;
and yet it is fact that the furthest Aleu-
tian isle acquired in our purchase of
Russian America is as far to the west of
that city as Eastport, Me-, is to the east
of it. Between the northwestern limit of
Washington Territory and the southeast
ern limit of Alaska there is break of a
few degrees, but, with the slightest de-
duction, our territory extends through
1877 degrees of longitude, or II degrees
more than half round the globe. Hence,
when the sun is giving its goodnight kiss
to our westernmost isle on the confines
of Behring's sea, it is already flooding
fields and forests of Maine with its
morning light, and in the eastern part of
that state it is more than an hour high.
At the very moment when the Aleutian
fisherman, warned by the approaching
shades of night, is pulling his canoe to-
ward the shore, the wood-chopper of
Maine is beginning to awake the forest
echoes with the stirring music of his ak.

How Tweed's Daguhters Lost $50, 900
by his Escape to Spain.

When William M. Tweed was at the
height of his prosperity, in 1868, he took
a policy of insurance on his life from
the knickerbocker Life Insurance Com
pany. The instrument was issued on
the ten year endowment plan. 1t was
drawn for the benefit of his daughters.
Josephine S. Douglas and Jenny S.
Tweed, who were to receive the $4,000
in case of his death. If, however,
he was to be alive Nov. l, 1878, he would
not be paid the endowment of $4,000.
One of the conditions was that it
would become void if Tweed would take
sea voyage without the consent of the
insurance company, A stipulation in
dorsed on the instrument declared that
if default should be. made by Tweed
or the benefciariet under the policy,
after the payment of not less than three
annual premiums, the insurance COM
pany, upon the surrender of the policy,
would issue new policy of an amount
proportionate to The premiums paid.
Tweed and his daughters paid eight
annual premiums of l, $1,000, and then
defaulted. In December, 1875, Tweed
escaped from Sheriff Brennan's custody,
and subsequently went across the
Atlantic to Vigo, Spain, where he was
arrested. After his death his daughters
called on the Knickerbocker life in
surance company to take back the old
policy, and to issue to them a paid-up
policy for $4,000, the sum proportionate
to the premiums paid. The corporation
refused to issue new policy, and claim
ed that the old one became void when
Tweed went across the Atlantic. Mrs.
Douglas and her sister sued the company
in the superior court, claiming that the
stipulation respecting the issuance of a
paid-up policy after the payment of
three premiums was separate contract
to which they were parties, and that it
could not be vitiated by the violation by
the insured person of a condition in the
policy. The case was tried before
Judge Freedman, in the superior court,
special term, and he decided in favor of
the defendant, holding that the stipula-
ton was not a contract separate from the
policy. An appeal was taken to the
general term, which body yesterday
affirmed Judge Freedman's decision and
adopted his opinion as its OWN Y.

The New Order of THINGS.

The story-book pictures of whaling, in
which the man throws harpoon from
the bow of the boat, are no longer &C.
curate. Of late years the weapon
generally used has been bomb that has
been fired from a gun and exploded in
the whales body. A new implement of
the sort is described as follows: The
lance weighs seven and one half pounds
contains one and one-quarter pounds of
gunpowder, and is propelled by heavy
rocket. There being no discharge of q
heavy gun, the recoil is a push rather
than blow, and the bomb is ignited by
the rocket when the latter has burned
out. A chain toggle attached to the
end of the rocket is released by the ex-
plosion, securely holding the whale.
which, if not instantly killed, cannot
long survive the explosion.

Had Forgotten Himself.

An incident, somewhat ludicrOus
one, too, of the fire of the HagerstOwn
Hotel, has been told us by one who was
there and who literally "barely"
escaped with his life. He is travelling
man. Being suddenly awakened that
night by bright light shining in his
face, he discovered that the window
frame of his room, on the third floor,
was one blaze of fame and that the
apartment was rapidly filling with
smoke. He left at once, how he knows
not, but finally succeeded in reaching
the ground by Jump from a second
story window. When safely landed he
stood watching the word of destruction.
and near by him were a group of yery
thinly-clad females, also gazing.
While thus standing he noticed
party of firemen hurrying past with
quantity of feminine apparel. He
Immediately, with that gallantry so in
keeping Nth travelling man, hailed the
men with:
Look here, you fellows, give these
ladies some of those clothes"
The reply was in an instant:
All right, stranger, we'll do SO; but
don't you think it would be a good idea
to put on pair of spurs yourself?"
The last remark caused him to in
vestigate himself, when he found that
his whole custom was a shirt, q vest
and pair of CATERS, while the rest of
his garments hung idly over his arm
Our friend blushed, sought refuge,
ana pulled on his pants.-Norristow
