How to Take Out Screws from Woodwork:
London Builder.

One of the most simple and readiest
methods for loosening rusted screw is to ap-
ply heat to the head of the screw. A small
bar or rod of iron, fiat at the end. if redeemed
in the fire and applied for a couple or three
minutes to the head of the rusted screw, will,
as & IA as it heats the screw render its with
drawal as easy by the screw-driver as if it
was only a recently inserted screw. As there
is a kitchen poker in every house, that instru-
ment, if heated at its extremity, and applied
for few minutes to the screw or scews, will
do the required work of loosening, and an
ordinary screw-driver will do the rest with
out causing the least damage, trouble or vex-
alton of spirit. In all work above the COM
mon kind, where it is necessary to use screws,
and particularly in hinge work and mount
ings fancy fastenings and appliances affixed
to joinery or furniture work, we would ad-
wise the oiling of crews or dipping their
points in grease before driving them. This
will render them more easy to drive and
also to withdraw, and it will undoubtedly re-
tard for longer time the action of rusting.

A Story of the Man When He Was a Cap
tain Bold and Greatly Feared.

Denver Tribune.
When Coppinger was stationed at Camp
Verde, Arizona as the captain of one of the
companies of the Twenty-thrd infantry, in
1872, the writer happened TO be the witness
of an incident that illustrates the character
and disposition of the man. a band of re-
cruits arrived one day, filled with fear and
terror of the officer under whom they were
to serve for the ensuing five years. Report
and rumor had pictured Coppinger to them
as being pirate captain and a prosecutor of
the rank and hle Coppinger, attired in a
suit of clothes that might have dlstin-
gulshed a teamster, was in the suffers store
when one of the recruits entered. II would
like to see this Captain Coppinger," said the
recruit. Il understand he's a hard man."
Everybody present expected Coppinger to
annihilate the new conner but he did not.
On the contrary, he engaged him in pleas
ant conversation, in which Captain Coppin-
ger was abused in a manner that caused the
listeners to fear that the private would be
punished for his temerity. Finally, when
the vocabulary was exhausted, Coppinger in
troduced himself to the astounded soldier.

this State, and to General Handy
and Cherry O'Conner, of Nashville,
prison machinery for ten years at $40, 900

year clear of all expense, and a general
howl is going up from the people. This

brought what is considered the strongest,

the SPRINGFIELD Rolling Mills.
SPRINGFIELD. March THE situation at
the roliing-mills here since the strike last
Monday has not improved The company
were running their blooming, plate and bill
let mills, which are new plants. with non
union men. The association demanded that
the restriction against the union be with
drawn Mr.. Ridgeley president of the COM
pany, in a letter made public to-day
refused to accede, and claims that the
association exceeded its right as the
company has not interfered with the associ-
alton or its members, who are EMPLOYED in
the bar and puddfe-mlls. Mr.. Ridgeey
claims that Mr.. Garrett. president of the Ma
tional Amalgamated Association, and Mr.
Carpenter, of Chicago, vice president for this
district. during their recent visit to this city,
assured him the association had no right to
interfere in the arrangements which the
company had thought best to make
in their new works. A committee
to-day replied to President Ridgeley,
saving it was impossible for them to retrace
their steps. Their position was taken, and a
further complaint was made, not only on ac-
count of the plate and billet mills, but that
the system of working at the furnaces is OBJ
jectionable to the association. The company
seems determined to lose the large orders
they have and keep their mills shut down,
rather than submit TO the demands of the
men. The contest bids fair to be protracted.

Hiosten with tepid water, and keep the box
IN a warm room. If the eyes are placed in
lows each way. the necessary root-pruning
after the plants are one TO two inches in
