Truth Worst OF All.

A man who said he was trying to get enough
money to reach Toledo yesterday entered an
office on Grlswold street and told his story,
and added that his name was Caesar.
"Any relation to Julius or Augustus"
queried the citizen.
"Well no, | want to be honest and square
about this thing, and | tell you honestly that
| am not related to either"
s'Then ] can't help you any. You are
nothing but a common sort o plug, and 1t
won't make any difference whether you ever
get to cleveland or not. If you were
related to Julius l should feel it my duty
bound to help YOU
The man backed out without another word,
and entering the office next door he walked
up to the occupant with the remark: "My
name is Caesar, and l am closely related to
Julius and Augustus. Can you spare me ten
cents to help me get to Toledo"
'sSir, YOU are a base deceiver,' replied the
other. "You are no more related to the
Caesars than l am! Had you come in here and
told me a straight, truthful story l should
have given you a quarter. "1 on can go slr..'
The man went out, and he determined to
tell the truth and nothing bus the truth.

How CellulOid is Made.

DR.. w. H VAIL tells in the Journal Of
IndustTy what celluloid is and how it is
made. Briefly defined, celluloid, he says, is
species of soliditied collodion, produced by
dissolving gun-cotton (pyroXylin) in camphor
with the aid of heat and pressure. The gun
cotton is ground in water to a fine pulp in a
machine similar to that used in grinding paper
pulp. The pulp is then subjected to powerful
pressure in a perforated vessel to extract the
bulk of the moisture, but still leaving 1t
slightly moist for the next operation. This
consists in thoroughly Incorporating finely
comminuted gum camphor with the moist
gun-cotton pulp. The proportions employed
are said to be one part by weight of camphor
to W parts by weight of the pulp.
With this mixture any coloring matters re-
quired can now be incorporated. The next
step is to subject the mass to powerful pressure
in order to compel from it the remaining
traces of moisture and incidentally to effect
| also the more intimate contact of the camphol
with the pulp. The dried and compressed
mass is next placed in a mould, open at the
top, into which fits a solid plunger. A heavy
hydraulic pressure is brought to bear upoT
the plunger, and at the same time the miXture
is heated, by means of a steam jacket surround
ing the vessel, to a temperature of about 3U
degrees Fahrenheit. When the mass is takeI
out of the press it hardens and acquires TIN
extraordinary t%oughness and elasticity which
are the distinguishing characteristics of thi
remarkable product, Celluloid is very largel.
used as a substitute for ivory, which is initiated
with great success. Tortoise shell, malachite
mother of pearl, coral and other costly and ele
CANT materials are also so successfully initiate
that an expert can hardly detect the origina
from the copy. Celluloid is also nsed as
substitute for porcelain in the manufacture @
dolls, which will stand a great deal OF roug
usage without breaking. Quite recently too
it has been combined with linen and used fo
shirt bosoms, cuffs and collars.

A Michigan Girl who Meant 10 get a

MILES o HORSE.

On the bluff of the Little Big Horn,
AT the close of II woful day.
Custer and his Three Hundred
In death and silence lay.
Three hundred to three thousand
They had hravely fought and bled;
For such is the will OF Congress
When the White Man meets he Red.
The White Men are ten millions,
The thriftieSt under the IN;
The Reds are fifty thousands,
And warriors every one.
SO Custer and all his fighting men
Lay under the evening skies,
Staring up at the tranquil heaven
With wide, accusing eyes.
And of all thai stood at MONDAY
In that fiery scorpion ring,
Miles Keogh's horse at evening
Was the only living thing.
Alone from the field. of slaugter,
Where lay three hundred slain.
The horse COmanche wandered,
With Keogh's blood OH his maine.
And Sturgis issued this order.
Which future times shall read,
While the love and honor of comrads
Are the soul Of the soldiers creed.
He said
Let the horse Comanche,
Henceforth till he shall die.
Be kindly cherished and cared for
BY the Seventh Cavalry.
He shall do no labor; he shall never know
The touch of spur or rein;
Nor shall his back be ever crossed
By living rider again.
At a regimental formation
or THE Seventh Cavalry,
Comanche, draped in mourning and led
By a trooper of Company /.
Shall parade with the regiment!
Thus it was
Commanded. and thus done.
By order of General Stu gis, signed
By Adjutant Darlington.
Even the sword of Custer,
In his disastrous fall
Flushed out a blaze that charmed the W Grid
And g%loritied his pail.
This order, issued amid the gloom
That shrOuds our Army'S name,
When all foul beasts are free to rend
And tear its ZONES fame
Shall prove to Il callous people
Tha the sense OF a soldiers worth,
That the love ofcomrads. the honor Of farms.
Have not yet persisted from earth.

John Gilpin was thin, callow and awkward;
Ella Sanford, bonnie, buxom and loving.
They worked on neighboring farms at Mid
dletown, Conn.,, and last Wednesday they
went before the squire and were married.
The next thing on the programme was the
wedding tour. Neither had money. Both
had good, stout shoes. Keeping excellent
steps as both hearts beat as one, they set out
to walk to Woodbury. to visit Johns old folks.
Wednesday night found them on the road
pushing on through the snow. All day
Thursday they pressed on, and as night fell
they stopped at a little inn by the roadside.
John was very much used up on Friday be-
cause of the long walk, but Ella lent him a
shoulder, and SO the wedding tour was con-
tinued. AS the two approached within four
or five miles Of Woodbury. John gave out,and
persons who kindly asked what was the mat
ter heard only from Ella a request to borrow
a wheelbarrow. At last, when a n~eighboring
farmer learned that the pedestrians hal just
been married, he lent them q barrow, and,
tenderly placing the groom in this, the bride
wheeled him in triumph to the old folks in
Woodbury..

Calisaya, einchona, Lima, Peruvian,
and, in fact, all medicinal barks, are adj
mitted free Of duty. There is, howev-
er, differential or discriminating duty
Of ten per cent. upon all medicinal
barks shipped from east Of the Cape of
Good Hope, but no revenues have been
derived from differential duties ON any
of the barks from which quinine Is
made for the past five years, with the
exception Of S92 so I'm 1878, and 81, ,95s
In 1879, which pittanee could not ma
terially affect the price Of the drug.
The fact that since the passage Of my
bill Messrs. Powers, Weightman Il Co.
have paid their duty, SIS, ,95s, ON barks
shipped from ports east Of the Cape of
Good Hope, proves that, so far nom
stopping their manufacturing opera
tions, they can afford to pay (for they
have paid every cent Of it) their duty,
lose the twenty per cent. gained BY
protection, compete with French and
English manufacturers and sell quinine
ninety cents per ounce cheaper than
before the passage of the bill.p
