THE REPORT OF THE SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND
MEASURES.-The annual report OF Mr.. James Small,
seaier OF weights and measures, submitted to the
District Commissioners yesterday, as stated in
The STAR last evening, calls the attention OF the
Commissioners to the laws in relation to weights
and measures In force In this District, and says
they are OF ancient date, those for Washington
having been approved June IL, 1890 with some
slight amendments made subsequently. Those
for Georgetown We're made in 1905 and those for
the county In 1862 He recommends the repeal of
these laws and that others be enacted to suit the
present time. In former times coal, corn, beans,
meal, potatoes and other articles were measured
but at the present time most Of those named are
weighed, and the latter system seems to work bet
ter. The dry measure is now seldom used, the
weighing system for all commodities being now
preferable, and 1t meets the general appreciation

such opportunities for sharpers to take advantage
There is very little sold that cannot be readily

wsE WORDS.


Sensitive people wish to be loved /;
vain people wish only to be pre-
ferred. D
Conversation enriches the under
standing, but solitude is the school Of
genius.
Discouragement seizes US only
when we can no longer count on
chance.
Happy are they that hear their
detractions and can put them to
mending.
Are not flowers the stars Of the
earth. and are not our stars the flowers
Of heaven2
Nature has sometimes made fool,
but coxcomb is always Of a mans
own making.
Trust men and they will be true to
you ; treat them greatly and they will
show themselves greatly.
To think we are able il almost to be
so; to determine upon attainment is
frequently attainment itself. Thus
earnest resolution has often seemed to
have about it SAVIOR Of omnipotence.
Out Of the warp and woof of COM
mon daily life can be woven a noble
and useful life, as any life must be,
which is a psalm Of cheerful labor and
obedience set always to one grand
note.
employment 50 certainly produces
cheerfulness," old Bishop Hall used to
say, ..that have known a man to
come home in high spirits from a fu-
neral because he had had the manage
ment of it.
Talent and worth are the only last
ing grounds of distinction. To these
the Almighty has fixed His everlasting
patent Of nobility; and these it is
which make the bright immortal
names to which all may aspire.
Character is human nature in its
best form. It Is moral character EN-
bodied in the individual Men of char
acter are not only the conscience Of so
ciety, but in every well-governed state
they are its best motive power; for it
is moral qualities in the main which
rule the world.

theory Of original deposit Of the pc
troleum-producing matter along with
these same deposits were true, then
the oil should be found wherever the
rock is found. On the contrary, they
claim the rock may exist where there
are no underlying shales to produce
the petroleum gases, Or the underlying
strata may be upheaved to such an ex-
tent that the gases may escape to the
surface through vertical assures, and
thus mingle with the atmosphere and
be lost. In proof of this they cite the
fact that no oil has been discovered
eastward Of the line which marks
the beginning Of the Ale
gheny upheayal, and that the
vertical assures caused by this
upheaval have rendered the formation
of petroleum deposits impossible in
that locality. They also cite in sup
port Of this theory the further fact
that no oil has been discovered at a
depth exceeding 500 feet below sea
level, although the drill has penetrated
far greater depths in many instances
andsucceeded in tapping the petroleum
gases. They argue from this that if
the gases are found at great depths,
but no oil, then it follows that oil is
the product of condensation, which
can only take place where sufficiently
low temperature exists, and that this
is to be found only within the limits
above described. The inquiry is full
of interest to the inquisitive mind, and
we simply present to the readers of the
Times these two popular theories for
what they are worth, without COM
ment or expressed opinion. PhtladeE-

I clasped her hand and I held it fast,
While gaxed in her dreamy eyes,
And far-of look Ger her features passed,
Like the twilight of vesper skies
While, like one too happy or shy to speak,
With throb i could understand,
She turned from my raptures her glowing
cheek,
And veiled it with faItering hand;
And the gentle tremor which thrilled her
frame,
And leaped from her pulse to mine,
To my thirsting soul with its message came,
Like the magic Of cordial wine.
Atlast she pitied the hopeless smart
Of the passion she long had scorned,
And just as felt she had opened her heart,
She opened her mouth, and-yawnedl
