Curing a Smoky Stove.

l have seen a puzzled housekeeper
worry and fret over a smoky stove
which refused to "work," when a little
investigation revealed the fact that all
that was wanting was to beat the pipe
a little, brush top of oven and rake out
the accumulation of SCOT which, by
long negligence, had gathered under
meath, all of which could be accom-
plishedi in afew minutes, saving hours of
fret and worry, to say nothing of spoiled
and sodden food, for no stove will do
good work which cannot be heated at
pleasure, and that quickly, which is
never the case with one choked with
SCOT and ashes.- Western Rural.

to obey orders. Notwithstanding this the
Cinnamon rushed backward and forward on
the vessel until it was found necessary tc
knock down some and carry below Others

and the efforts to control it were unavailable.
The captain ordered Pilot Franklin to head
IL
beach her. AS soon as the vessel struck the
sand he boats were lowered. The excite
ment was now so great that numbers of
Cinnamon jumped into the boats aud
swamped them. Owing to the intense smoke
those who could swim did not know in which
direction to strike out, and surrounded by
a mass of struggling Cinnamon were
] drowned. Sixty-fve lives were lost.

The power of fixing the attention
closely is perfectly consistent with the
power of removing it completely when
the time arrives. Both are needful to
good work and full manhood. If
any n would improve in this respect,
he will find it useful to cultivate some
pursuit, or art, or study congenial to
his taste, but to have nothing to do
with his daily occupation. Let him di-
vert his attention to this regularly,
even for very short periods. 1t is sur
prising to see how much real progress
can be made in anything by even fif-
teen or twenty minutes IA day of steady
effort. But IA much more important
result is that the continuity of thought
which held one in bondage is thus
broken, and the mind strengthened to
work freely in other directions.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In a SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal is
needed only to stiffen and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James Boss Patent Gold Watch Gases this
WASTE is saved, and soLIDITY and
STRENGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldered on each side of a plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and tho
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
c%enters, bezels, etc, are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This is
the only crsc made Under this process. Each
case is accompanied Nth q raid guarantees
signed by the manufacturers warranting ii to

Aristotle defines Friendship to be an ex-
tension OF self-love. Montague thought
it was ineXpiicable, while the author of
the Royal Path of Life looks upon it as
a rare plant in human soil. j. F.

Kelley says '.Friendship is a fellow feel
ing that makes us wondrous kind
These definitions are in the main very
good, though it is doubtful if they in
clude all that is meant by the word
Friendship. Some one has said, ''Pure
disinterested Friendship, is bright
flame, emitting none of the smoke of
selfshness and seldom deigns to taber-
nacle among men" That this is so we
cannot doubt when we take into con-
sideration the real quintessence of
Friendship. We naturally feel, pro-
vided, we are free from base self hness,
! and deception, that an individual whose
goodly appearance, or supposed good
qualities have attracted US sufficiently to
desire to associate with him, is in some
measure entitled to more esteem, and
consideration than others. A friend is
one, and must be one IN whom we feel
that we can trust, and with whom we
receive brighter and more cheerful rays
of sunshine than we otherwise would re-
ceive. Yes; a friend, or one who is
called a friend, according to the voice
ofmy heart, is one whose presence aud
| conversation are sources of gladDess,
| comfort and inspiration to me, and
whose name can not be maligned, re-
preached or abused, within my presence
without the fiery Indignation of my
wrath Immediately rising to the sur

SHAPESPEARE'S MACBETH
TAKEN FROM THE BIBLE,

You will find the principal charac-
tiers of Maeeth IN the Book OF Kings.
Jezebel in the Bible is Lady Macbeth
in the play. She it was that stirred up
her husband to do all the deyiltry he
did. Then take Hazael, a servant I'M
der the king. Under the influence of
his wife, Jezebel, he plots to kill his
master, and become King OF Syria in
his stead.
This plot successful, and Hazael
is crowned king. This chaa acter ex-
actly suits that of Macbeth. The minor
characters can also be found in the
Bible. Of course, Shakespeare has al
tered the words, but the plot and
the characters a, to be found there.
DR.. Hasley, on his lectures on Shakes
peare at Princeton college, states that
Shakespeare's regular practice was to
study the Bible seven hours a day.
There were not so many Bibles in his
time as there are now, but although
very costly, he had one and made dali
ly practice of studying it. do not
know, but presume he is correct.
Though Shakespeare was undoubt-
eddy a great man, think he is consid-
erably ovelrated, SO lar as his origin
atty is concerned. think he was not
endowed with the genius OF originality,
but rather with the genius Of arranging
the writings of those gone before, and
rewriting them in an attractive style.

Most students of the subject are aware
that breech-loading firearms are no
modern invention. The Marquis of
Worcester describes a breech- loading
pistol. It is well known that at some of
the Chinese arsenalS there are very an
cient specimens of breech-loadiDg field
guns. A discovery W hich has Just been
made at Aleppo is nevertheless likely
to cause considerable surprise in mill
tary circles, for according to the Turk
ish official gazette OF that place, party
of engineers, while making excaya ions
beneath the citadel Of the town have
come upon large wrong fIt-iron breech-
loading cannon which must have been
buried for at least $50 years. That the
weapon should be a brGech-Ioader is in
itself sufficiently astonishing; but the
most extraordinary part Of the affair is
that the breech mechanism is almost
exactly similar 10 that which has Tor
so many years been fitted by Krupp, of

army. The gun it il interesting to note

JUST JUDGES.

The following article taken from the
Wa-Keeney World, is just tribute to
Judges Pratt and Martin:
just Judges are the grand founda-
tons of state and order. In this state
Judge John Martin and our Judge
Pratt, by their honest force of charac-
ter in giving iqHor ease witnesses to
understand that they are not wanted for
the purpose of perjurtng themselves on
the witness stand, have not only secured
the dealing out of justice in their re-
spective courts, but have set all Kansas
to thinking on the question as to how
far perjury should be permitted to pre-
vail in law courts.
1t may be set down as a safe propo-
sition, that any individual who believes
that any statutory law should be tramp
led upon has not yet learned the first
lesson in Republican government. For
men who have no use for legal forms
except to trample upon them, the bet
ter class Of people have a righteous con
tempt.
With the policy of these two judges
carried out by other judges in Kansas,
the time would soon be here when q
sheriff or other officer would be
afraid to perjure himself by wink
ing at whisky guiding, instead
of reporting the keeper of the guzzling
shop as the law directs.
We are also reminded in this cOnnec-
ton that the people of Kansas can show
in the election of their next set of dis
trict judges whether they want the pro-
hibitory law enforced. They. can select
full set of Martins and Tratts or a set
who will be friendly to the saloon inter
ests. In fact, it looks now ike the
liqaor question will be an important is

Kansas judges.
