and beneficial to all classes of inter-

those who spend money. All are ben
efitted by currency such as we have
to-day.
The gold secretary bas the efrontery
to assert that he has made the cast
volume of our paper money equal to
gold," when in fact the greater part of
that money has been withdrawn and
destroyed by the process of contrac-
ton, of which he is the lying expo
nent. He has made money more VAL
nable only by making it more scarce.
The party he represents have impov-
erished the mass of the people by de-

that certain classes having the main
portion of the currency that remains
may find its purchasing power en-
HANGED. What sort of improvement
is that which consists of destroying
the thing you pretend to improve?

instead of being, as the secretary SO
falsely asserts, q wise undertaking to

to withdraw from circulation so vast a

Spider Engineering.

On going round the garden. | per-
cheese apparently floating IL. he air
straight before me. On coming up to
l it, found that it was suspended from
a spiders web, which was spun right
across the path. The first hasty
thought was that this spider had found
a piece of cheese below, and, taking a
fancy to it, was then drawing itupinto
its web to eat it. Further examination
however, showed that the substance
was not cheese, but a small pebble
much resembling that edible, evidently
taken from the gravel walk beneath.
There was nothing for the spider to at
tach his web to on the walk, so he had
selected a suitable stone to. balance
his web being attached to trees on eth
er side of the walk, and weighted be-
I low by the stone, so as to be in nearly
perpendicular position. The stone
was connected with the web by three
fold cord, the strands of which were at
tached to different parts of the stone.
| visited the web two or three hours af-
ter the spider had finished it, and
found that his ingenuity had been re-
warded, as the web contained, besides
large fly, of which he was dining,
more small flies than l have ever be-
fore seen In a web. Neither myself,

showed the web, have ever seen any

a Chapter of First Things.

The first schooner launched in this coun-
try was built at Cape Ann in l7l4. The
first lime was made in New England and
burned in Newbury, Mass, by James
Moves. The first cotton factory in the
United States was established at Beverly,
Mass, l7S7. 1t continued in operation un-
til lSn2, and then stopped, ninety per cent.
of the capital having been sunk in the en-
terprisc. The first cast-irOn edifice erected
in America was upon the corner Of Centre
and Duane streets, Eew York. Samuel F.

was first introduced into Europe by the ce-
lebrated botanist, Conrad Gesner, about the
year 1853. Its beauty soon made it SO
much of a flvorite, and there was 50 great
a desire TO possess it that what is still
known as the "tulip mania sprang up in
Holland. One plant was regarded as max
ing its pOSSesSOr rich, and was often given
as a muniticent marriage portion to the
bride. More than two thousand dollars
were given for a single plant-a great sum
in that country and in those days. lnflam-
mable gas was first evolved from coal from
1856 to 1879. \ use Of the gas was first
attempted at Cornwall in 1902. The first
display of gaslights was made at BOulton
& Watts foundry, at Birmingham, on the
occasion Of rejoicings for peace in England
in 1902. Gas was permanently used at the
cotton mills in Manchester, where one
thousand burners were lighted in 1905.
Gas-light was first introduced in London.
August Ii, 1907. Pail Mall was lighted
in 1909; London generally in 1914. Gas
was first introduced at Baltimore in 1921;
at New York in 1928. The first Methodist
meeting-h house built in New England was
erected in Stratfield parish town of STRAIT
ford, now Trumbull, New Haven county,
Conn, in n-September, 1883, and was called
"Lee's Chapel. from Rev. Jesse Lee, the
apostle of New England Methodism. The
next was in Lynn, Mass, 1921, a few
months after Mr.. Wesley's death. 1t was
begun June 18th, raised on the 2lth, and
dedicated on the 26th, the frescoing, car

Oranges

The orange tree is one of the most beau
tiful and interesting of vegetable growths
/ Its botanical name is citrus, said to be de
rived from the town of Citron, in Judea. 1t
belongs to the genus of plants known as the
natural orders Of dHrdRtidceR or golden
/ fruit bearers, and thus it requires no great
stretch of imagination to conclude that the
golden apples" of the Garden of Hesperi-
des were oranges. The genus citrus con-
tains a large number of species and varie-
ties, the fruits being known under such
names as orange, lemon, lime, shaddOck,
pompelmOOre, forbidden fruit, kumquat
and citrOn. RisSO, the eminent naturalist
of Nice claims that there are no fewer than
1859 varieties. These he divides into eight
species, viz: sweet oranges, bitter oranges,
begamotts, lines, pampelunos, sweet lines,
lemons and citrons. 1t is said that the
sweet orange was first brought into Europe
by the Portuguese in 1917, and that the
original tree whence all the European orange
trees of this class have been produced is, or
at least was few years ago, preserved at
Lisbon in one Of the gardens Of the nobility.
In various parts of Europe trees are still in
existence from $50 to 200 years old, and
each year they produce more fruit and of
better quality. In some parts of Spain a
single tree frequently bears 5000 to 1000
oranges, and instances have been known of
as many as 90, 900 having been produced.
The most interesting feature in the natural
history of the orange tree is that it bears at
one time what may be called three crops in
different stages-the blossom, the immature
| fruit, and the ripe oranges. The foreign
supply comes from st. Michael. one Of the
Azores Islands; Terceira and Fayal, of the
same group; Valencia, Lisbon, Villa Real,
Ariero, Oporto, Palermo, Malta and other
Spanish and Mediterranean ports. The
oranges are shipped in boxes, each contain
/ ing anywhere from 200 to 500 oranges. ac-
cording to the size of the fruit. The st.
Michaels are packed in dried leaves of In
dian corn, but all other oranges in paper.
The ''blood oranges" as they called, come
mostly from Valencia, (from which place
more oranges are imported than all other
ports together), and also from Malta. From
/ the latter place we also get the egg-shaped
/ fruit. Seville oranges hail from place of
that name, and are used exclusively for
making marmalade and orange wine, al
though the Palermo ''bittersn are really
better adapted for both purposes.

who was Guy Fawkcs -

The name of Guy Fawkes is known to
every child, taught or untaught, but of those
elders who are acquainted with the great
historical fact which has rendered the name
of Guy Fawkes notorious, few know who
the man really was 1t is not unfreqUently
said of him that he was an Italian by birth,
and that his real name was Guido. Not So.
''Guyen was the name bestowed on him in
baptism. He was native of York, and it
is in that grand old cathedral city that his
family associations still lnger. There is
abundant evidence to show that the parents
of Guye, as also his grandmother, were
members of the Protestant Church. In one
of the earliest books of the parish of st.
Michael-le-Belfrey, in which they resided,
occur the following entries. Among the
names of those who were COMMITMENTS on
the 2Tth of July, 1873, are Mr.. Edward
Faux, ct mater ejtis Ct UrOr GINS; and the
same entry occurs on the ID of February,
l573-4, and again on Christmas day in the
same year. Guys mother was member
of the Protestant Church during her first
husbands life, but there is every reason to
believe that her second husband, Dionis
Baynbridge, was Catholic. His relatives,
the Percys of Section, were also Jealous
Catholics, and it is supposed that Percy,
the after-accomplice of Guye Fawkes. be
longed to that family. His wife was Mar
tha Wright These had become perverts
to the Catholic religion through the in
fluence, it is believed, of their brother-in-
law Percy, who, a convert himself, is de
scribed as IAN enthusiastic devotee." Guye
Fawkes, during his residence at Scotton,
would naturally be thrown into the society
of Percy, his connections the Wrights, and
that of three others of the conspiratOrs,
namely, Thomas, Robert and John Winter.
These brothers belonged to an old Roman
Catholic family who held large estates in
Worcestershire, and were sufferers from the
severe prosecutions to which Catholics were
at that time exposed; but their mother was
sister of Sir William Ingleby, of Ripley,
whose property lay in the immediate vicin-
ity of Section, and who had intermarried
with some of its families. Surrounded by
influences such as these at the very outset
of his career in life, it is hardly to be Won
dered at that Guy Fawkes was led to desert
the religious principles in which he had been
educated, and to become imbued with that
spirit of fanaticism which eventually led
him to play so prominent q part in that
memorable plot known as the GunpOwder
Treason.

Hare and Hounds.

The hunt of hare and hounds Is thus deS-
cribed by an American patron of the sport:
"a place of rendezvous having been agreed
upon, the members assemble for the
meet \ couple are selected as 'the
hares. the rest of the club form 'the pack
of hounds \ start is allowed the hares IN
advance of the paCk-in SLOW hunt, of
10 minutes; in a fast hunt, of 80 minutes.
The Hares' carry with them bags contain
ing pieces of white paper. At certain
distance from 'the meet is the throw off.
Upon arriving here. 'the hares begin
throwing out pieces of paper, which is
the scent The time having elapsed, the
pack start under the lead of the master of
the hunt, who is likewise, the pace max
er.' Upon finding the scent the Tally
ho." is given, the pack carrying hunting
horns slung over their shoulders. Then
the chase ensues across meadows, ploughed
fields, through woods, over hills, bitches,
brooks. stone walls, and fences, after the
flying hares, who drop the scent at each
100 wards 4 certain number of hours are
fixed. at the expiration of which, if the
hares' are not run down, the hunt is
brought to an end. In slow hunt the en-
tire pack keep together under the lead of
the pace maker This is the most popu-
lar. as il gives the poorest runner chance
until 'the finish, when break is made,
and a hard race ensues for the honor Of be-
ing first at 'the death. In fast hunt a
racing pace is maintained throughout, and
the slow men are soon left miles behind. y
This description is merely brief outline;
and, in referring to it, Bells Life COM
ments on the commission of all mention Of
''falses," and says Americans will find the
hunting horns rather in the way. 1.-The
Westchester uniform of a scarlet jacket and
black jockey cap, velvet leggings, and the
black velvet collars and cuffs, and cap with
gold tassel of the master of the hunt, will
also hardly be suitable for bad weather and
ploughed fields, unless, indeed, the compe-
titors put on fresh uniforms each time, and
we think that after a while they will have
to come down TO the more servicable rough
jersey and ordinary university drawers in
vogue with our packs"

Why Lamps Explode.

The Scientific american tells wherein
the danger of kerosene lamps consists, and
gives these valuable hints in regard to pre-
venting explosions '.All explosions of pc
troleum lamps are caused by the vapor or
gas that collects in the space above the oil.
OF course, lamp contains no gas, which
commences to form as the lamp warns up,
and after burning shOrr time sufficient gas
will accumulate to form an explosion. The
gas in a lamp will explode only when ig-
nited In this respect it is ike gunpOwder
Cheap or inferior oil is always the most
dangerous The flame is communicated to
the gas in the following manner: The
wick tube in the lamp burners is made lar
ger than the wick which is to pass through
il. II would not do to have the wick work
tightly in the burner; on the contrary, it is
essential that il move UP and down with
perfect ease. In this way it is unavoidable
that space in the tube is left along the sides
of the wick sufficient for the flame from the
burner to pass down into the lamp and ex-
plode the gas. Many things occur to cause
the flame to pass down the wick and ex
plode the lamp. |. 4 lamp NAV he stand
~ on the table or mantel, and a slight puff
of air from the open window or door may
cause an explosion. ,. \ lamp may he
taken up quickly from table or mantel
and instantly exploded. 3. \ lamp is
taken into an entry where there is draught,
or out of doors, and an explosion ensues. +.
\ lighted lamp is taken up flight of stairs
or is raised quickly to place it ON a mantel,
resulting in an explosion. In these in
stances the mischief is done by the air
movement, either by suddenly checking the
draught OF forcing air down the chimney
against the flame. ). Blowing down the
chimney to eXtinguish the light is fire.
quent cause Of explosion. 6. Lamp eX-
plosions have been caused by using a Chin
ney broken off at the top or one that has
piece broken out, whereby the draught is
variable and the flame unsteady. Z. Some
times thoughtless person puts small sized
wick in large burner, thus leaving consid-
cradle space along the edges of the wick.
;. An old burner, with its air draughts
closed up, which rightfully should be thrown
away, is sometimes continued in use, and
the final results is an explosion
