An Historical Kettle.

There is at present in West Troy, N.
Y. an immense copper kettle which has
a history. 1t is said to have been used
for cooking the rations of the soldiers
Of General Burgoyne, in Revolutionary
times. The kettle is six feet six inches
at the tip, five feet deep, and weighs
something over 1,2o0 pounds. The bot
tom Of the utensil is nearly two inches
thick, and is all in one piece. The
sides are composed Of six sections, these
having first been riyeted- to the bottom,
afterward brought together, the edges
overlapping, and rivited. As nearly as
is known the kettle was brought from
England by General Burgoyne, was
for sometime used for cooking rations
for his troops, and at the time Of his
surrender passed into the hands Of The
patroon, Van Rensselaers, at Albany,
where it remained, unused, for several
years. In the course of time the Van
Rensselaers are said to have built and
operated brewery near what is now
known as the Cumberland Centre, and
the kettle was sent there and utilized
for boiling the ingredients used In max
ing beer. When the brewing business
was abandoned the kettle remained on
s'the farm" and has been sold with the

Some European countries are almost

concerned, as is the United States.
According to. French agricultural
journal, the oak of Sweden and Norway
is about exhausted. and they are com.
PEELED to buy their wood in Poland, and
the pine is being rapidly removed. The
forests cf Russia, along the shores of
the Baltic, in Finland and in the south
ern provinces. have been SO rapidly
thinned that the forest area of the en-
pire is now only one-tenth. The forests
OF Germany are well cared for, and there
are now in that empire about 81, 600, 900
acres Of forest, lover half Of which are
IN Prussia. valued at about S4O0, ,000,-

Of nearly $50,OOO,000. The greatest
effort is made to preserve the forest
acreage (about 100000 being annually
expended in replanting by the State
and the imports exceed the exports by
over 1000 tons. There are abont 45,-
100000 acres Of forest in Austria. Aus

forests that she is obliged to buy most

Preparing for the End.

H.
II have been resident of Washing
ton for thirty-two years." said Bob
Strong to Washington correspondent.
1T was on the police forceat the Capitol
for six or seven years under French.
Ny brother was the contractor for the
building of both wings of the Capitol.
OF late years have been employed at
the iail-for the past twelve or thirteen
years-six years at the new jail. For
the last ten or twelve years have been
the person to adjust the knot and FIX
the rope at executions. I did it at the
hanging of Bedford and Stone and put
the rope over Bedtord's head. The.
physician always suggests as to the
arranging of the knot about the neck so
that it will not go too far back of the
ear. I always remain on the scaffold
until the body is lowered into the cof-
fin. I was considerably shocked at the
Stone exhibition. when the culprit's
head was cut off as clean as if done by
saber. The reason for his head being
jerked off was not the length of the fall,
but Stone had gained flesh, and at the
same time the muscles of the neck
withered away-turned to a kind of
froth. He weighed 206 pounds at the
time he was hanged. Therope Guiteau
will be hanged by is three-quarters OF
an inch in diameter and of manila.
The prisoner stands on the trap, and
after the drop the head is supposed to
be on level. or to go just below the
floor Of the platform. always test the
rope with 200-pound sand bag, at q
drop OF seven feet. I talk to Guiteau
every day. I never have spoken to him
directly about his coming death, but he
makes fun of it when talked to on the
subject. His brother paid him visit
to-day, and he told him how to dispose
OF his hat and clothes. Some Of those
/ have seen executed exhibited great
courage before death. Wood and
Wright weakened, Wood more than
others. Some Of them had been given
coffee and brandy, and had to be sup
ported by the priests. From what /
have seen. l think that Guiteau, when
he feels that the thing is settled and he
knows that there is no more hope of
M
getting away, will not 60 upon the
scaffold game. I think he will die like
cur. The scaffold is now ready and
the rope prepared. When I prepare
the rope the first work is to get it lin
Der and the notches out OF it. Then I
rub it with tallow where it goes around
the neck. saw nine men hung at one

Only, Winifred, hope you'll not be too
set up to speak to your mother and sis
ter when you've moved there n
'There is no danger ofit." said Wini-
fred, laughingly almost hysterically- p
for, brave as she nad heen in the face Of
trouble, good fortune almost took her
by surprise. s'But oh, mother, if you'll
only kiss me. and say that you're glad
I'm going to be SO happy-if you'll only
do thatr'
And Mrs. Wynhart did SO, from the
very bottom of her heart. Neither was
it an act Of hypocrisy. For Winifred
engaged toa man worth twenty thou
sand dollars was different sort Of per-
son from Winifred who had resolved to
marry psuper. And this was the sort
OF logic by which Mrs. Wynhart argued
her way through life.
Squire Sandiman's will was SO differ
ent from the way in which psople gen.
orally had interpreted il. Simeon, with
his five thousand dollars in cash, was all
very well-but the Beach Farm had sold
for four times that amount, and the dis
inherited nephew had become the hero
of the day. How was Squire Sandman
to have foreseen all this2
But Winifred cared little for all that.
She had loved Jack before, and she
loved him now. It was nice to be mar
ried st home, in new white dress, with
Luella to arrange her hair, and she was
glad that they all liked Jack SO much.
But she loved him-nothing else mat
tered much she loved him, and that
was enough.

A SUGGEsuoE.-A correspondent OK
an exchange says: II would like to
mention to any among your readers
who have charge Of invalids or delicate
children, or who are not able to 40 out
during the hot weather. that the sir Of
the room may be much improved BY
hanging thick towels dipped In cold
water, with little vinegar added, to

FoRHGN BODIES IN THE WEDPRE-
Foreign bodies in any part Of the wind
pipe are always serious, and may be
Immediately fatal. The accident com
monty happens from 3 child having
some plaything, such as q bean, small
marble, bead, OF nutshell ii its mouth,
and being desired to take it out, either
in the hurry to obey, I0r possibly
its disinclination to do SO being
quickened By a cuff, the foreign body
slips into the windpipe and produces
serious mischief. IN the weIl-known
case of the late Mr. Brunei, the eminent
engineer, whose life was endangered by
an accident Of this kind, it arose from
his performing coniuring trick with
half sovereign in his mouth and the
coin slipping into his windpipe. When
the foreign body becomes fixed In the
upper part OF the windpipe, Of larynx,
so as to obstruct the breathing, the
patient becomes black Ia the face, All a
falls back apparently dead. This some
times happens during . meal, from
child or grown-up person happening to
cough while eating, and thus drawing
piece of food into the air passages.
Whatever the cause, a by ystander should,
without hesitation, thrust his forefinger
to the back Of the throat, and endeavor
to hook up with it the offending body
and this can often be done, when tie
patient can at once breathe again. If
this method is not successful, the ps-
tient, if child, should be held up by
the legs and be smartIy thumped Be-
tween the shoulders. when not i'm
probably the foreign body viii drop On
to the floor, and the child will then
begin to respire and cry but If respir-
alton Is still suspended. cold water
dashed on the chest VIII probably
rouse it, or, hnot, recourse must be had
to artificial respiration. OF course,
medical aid viii be summoned at once
in any case Of serions choking, If posi-
bic, but the majority Of cases do very
we'll without it. If, however, the foreign
body is not disIodged by the efforts of
bystanders, an operation will be neces-
sary to save life, and every moment viii
be of Importance. Even il the urgent
symptoms have passed Of, and the
child appears to be restored to health.
yet, il the foreign body has not been
found, the advice of a surgeon should,
nevertheless, be sought at once, as i
may still be lodged in the deeper air
passages, where it may cause fatal mis-
chief if not dislodged at an early
period. d.-Family Physician.

Bulls and Bears.

The etymology Of the term ssbsar1 is
believed to be this When a dealer in
stocks, or for that matter IN merchan-
disc, had sold more than he was capa-
BILE of delivering he was naturally bare
Of the article, and il was naturally his
interest that prices should fall In order
that be should cover his engagements
and be no longer bare. From the adj
iectiTe, the transition 20 the substan-
tive Of the same sound (bearl was easy.
The growing bear being thus embod-
led, his anitype, the bull, was not long
in making an appearance. It is some
what curious to find in the popular
mind difused notlon that bulls are
the more virtuous creatures. This la
sometimes fallacy. The bull is usu-
ally a specuIator who proposes to gain
merely BY market fluctuations, and to
fish in troubled waters. The real In
veutor, for instance, is often bear In
spirit because he awaits an opportunity
to buy cheaply. The cotton manufac-
turer who contracts to sell cloth is il
spirit bear Of yarn and other matte
rails, which he requires to buy osaply
that j., unless he has already bought
too much of such materials, ii which
case he has over-traded. Some amount
OF speculation is no doubt good, whole
some, and necessary in business. It is
only when the one party il much over
powered By the opposing party Chat
mischief results,
