things in tin are manufactured lit
orally by the million. 1t stands five

tin whistles is IL, 600, 600 per an
mum. Everything is made in the
establishment excepting wheels,
which are ordered in lots of thirty
tons at time from foundry in
the East. Two hundred men, wo-
men and boys are constantly en-
ployed in toy making. TO make =
tin horse twelve inches long, dies
have to be cast, costing $500. To. .
are exported from New York to all
parts Of the world. The children of
different countries have different
tastes. The passion Of the young
Brazilian is for q toy water cart,
while in the States the rage Of the
American boy is for tin horns and
putty-blowers. Tin swords are want

Vengeance Is Mine.

A Little Rock special to the Gin
cinnati Times-Star, gives the fol-
lowing startling account of an oc-
currence in Arkansas: "a report
comes from Union county that three
young men were discussing the
probabilities of rain from a cloud
which just then was raising in the
west. The youngest of the group,
John Freeman, referred to the
drought and remarked that God
who would allow his people to suffer
thus could not amount to much.
Instantly bolt of lightning flashed
from the cloud overhead, and the
young man fell dead. Nearly every
bone in his body was mashed into
jelly, while his boots were torn from
his feet, and his clothing from his
lower extremities.
The body presented horrible ar-
pearance, being a blackered and
mangled mass Of humanity. His
companions were stunned and
thrown on the ground, but not seri-
ously injured. The funeral of the
young man occurred next day and
attracted large crowd, the larger
portion of whom were drawn thither
by the rumor of the strange events
Ireceding the death of the deceased.
When the body was deposited in
the grave and the loose earth had
been thrown in until the aperture
was filled, and while the friends of
the dean rnaR vet fingered in the
cemetery, a bolt OF .l::s'tss:ag tang des-
cended from a cloud directly over
the burial place and struck the
grave, throwing the dirt as if a plow
had passed through it. No one was
injured, but those present scattered
almost paralyzed with terror.

A Child's Adventure in q Freight
Car

An odd story comes from the
Stock Yards. A young and intelli-
gent little boy named John Stem
berg, who is only eleven years Of
age, and is now tenderly cared for
by the police, tells a strange story
of travel and suffering. His pa.
ents live at Beaver Falls, Pa. Last
week the little boy was with some
companions playing hide and seek
ut his home in Beaver Falls So as
to hide securely from his compan-
ions he entered box railroad car
and lay down in the corner. The
door was suddenly closed on him,
and all was dark. He cried and shcu-
ted to be released, but all In vain,
as no one heard him. The train
moved, and continued on it's course
westward. The boy, without food
or water, was confined in the car for
three days and two nights. When
the door of the car was opened at
Fifty-first street the train mea were
surprised to discover q young boy
who Immediately jumped out. He
related his adventure to them, and
he says they told him to skip" He
was taken in charge by tue police.
and captain Gahan telegrapled his
father. Dispatch was received from
the father yesterday, stating that
he had sent money to pay his boys
fare home. The yong traveller will
be sent to Beaver Falls tonight.

How to Be an Expert in History.
London Academy.1

Thorough knowledge of one peri
cd helps to the mastery of anoth-
er. No man can read all history
no man, one would think, can read
all English history-from the be-
ginning to the end, in minute detail,
from original writers. He must trust
secondhand authorities and mod
ern commentators for a large part
of the story. But he who has thor
oughly mastered one or more periods
by original research gains certain
tact which enables him to deal al
most as master, even with those
periods on which he he has not
brought original research to bear.
He acquires a kind of instinct, by
which he sees which secondary and
modern writers are to be trusted
and which are not. He does not
profess to know every detail of the
periods with which he deals in this
secondary way, as he knows every
detail of the period which he choos-
es specially for his own. But he can
grasp the real meaning and bearing
of the story; he can, so to speak,
put forth his hands and pick out
the leading facts among a mass of
details, in way which man who
is not thorough master of any pc
riOd cannot do.

A Cure for Diphtheria.

The following is said to be an ex,
cellent remedy for diphtheria. The
disease is declared by Mr.. Great
head, of Australia, to be of hydra
ted growth, and that the germs of it,
floating about in certain impure at
mosphere, are inhaled by human
beings:
For a grown person four drops OF
sulphurous acid diluted in three
quarters of a tumbler of water, with
a smaller dose for children. The
effect of this treatment is instanta-
neous, the acid destroying at once
the parasites. and the patients
cough up the obstruction. Suffer
ers have recovered in a few minutes
by adopting the Greathead treat.
ment. Children previously in al
most a dying state were declared to
be playing about in ten minutes
and at computation some forty OF
fifty of these sudden recoveries have
been placed on record. with full and
satisfactory results Of the perform
ance of this wonderful, infallible
and quick cure for diphtheria
When necessity demands that you
arrest this dangerous disease, don't
neglect to test the virtue of the
Greathead treatment.
