Selling to Decent People.

A temperance discussion once sprane
up in a stagecoach crossing the ALE
ghenies, and the subject was handled
without gloves. One gentleman main
tanned stoical silence until he could
endure it no longer; then he broke out
strongly, saying,
Gentlemen, / want you to under
stand that l am liquor-seller. l keep
q public house, but | would have you
know that l have license, and keep a
decent house. l don't keep loafers and
loungers about my place, and when q
man has enough, he can get no more
at my bar. l sell to decent people,
and do respectable business"
When he had delivered himself, he
seemed to think he had put quietus
on the subject, and that no answer
could be given. Not so thought a
Quaker, who was one of the company.
Said he,
Friend, that is the most damning
part of thy business. If thee would
sell to drunkards and loafers, thee
would help kill off the race, and society
would be rid of them. But thee takes
the young, the poor, the innocent, and
the unsuspecting, and makes drunk
ards and loafers of them; when their
their character are gone, thee kicks
them out, and turns them over to
other shops to be finished off; and thee
ensnares others, and sends them on
the same road to ruin"

Washington's Strength.

Great commanders have not, as a
rule, been notable for the possession of
extraordinary physical power. Wash
ington was an exception, being a man
of great strength. In his youth he was
once looker-on at a wrestling contest,
and, growing weary of the sport, threw
himself at the foot of tree to enjoy
his book. By and by he was challeng-
ed to try fall with the hero of the oc-
casion. At first he declined, but find
ing his refusal attributed to fear, he en-
tered the arena, and, without taking
off his coat. grappled with his opponent,
and after brief struggle hurled him
to the ground with such force that the
best wrestler in Virginia was in much
the same predicament as the Dukes
wrestler when he tried conclusions
with Orlando. Later on in life, while
watching some fellows contending at
throwing the bar, sent it flying through
the air, to land many feet beyond the
limit attained by any of the competi-
tors. And still later, when he might
be said to be getting old, he showed
that he had not lost his strength OF
arm. Taking his morning ride he saw
three of his workmen vainly endeavor-
ing to raise stone. Jumping off his
horse, he pushed the men aside, and
without any apparent efford, lifted the
stone to its proper place, and then re-
mounting, rode on.

How TackS are Made.

The iron is received from the rolling
mills in sheets from three inches to
twelve inches wide, and from three
feet to nine feet in length, the thick
ness varying, according to the kind OF
work into which it is to be made, from
one-eighth to one-thirty-second OF an
inch. These sheets are all cut IN about
thirty-inch pieces, and by immersion in
acid cleaned of the hard outside tiinty
scale. They are then chopped into
strips of a width corresponding to the
length of the nail or tack required
Supposing the tack to be cut is an
eight-ounce carpet tack, the strip of
iron, as chopped and ready for the ma
chine, would be about eleven-sixteeths
of an inch wide and thirty inches long.
The piece is placed firmly in the feed
ing apparatus, and by this arrange
ment carried between the knives of the
machine.
At each revolution of the balance
wheel the knives cut off small piece
from the end of this plate. The piece
cut off is pointed at one end, and square
for forming the head at the other. 1t
is then carried between two dies by the
action of the knives and these dies,
coming together, form the body of the
tack under the head. Enough of the
iron projects before the face of the dies
to form the head, and while held firm
ly by them, lever strikes this project
ing piece into round head. This as
we have said before, is all done during
one revolution of the wheel, and the
knives, as soon as the tack drops from
the machine, are ready to cut off an
other piece.
These machines are run at the rate
of about $50 revolutions per minute.
The shoe-nail machines for cutting
headless shoe-nails, are run at about
500 revolutions per minute, and cut
from three to FIVE nails at each revo-
luton.

l4O Wagon Loads of Beer Con-
Sumed.

Moscow, June 2-The fete at Pc
troffsky Park to-day was or colossal
scale. The land upon which the en-
tertalnments were given embraced
about 100 hectares. There were four
immence theatres in which perform
ances were given, circus performance,
ballets, pantomines and professions of
horsemen. 1t is estimated that fully
one million persons were at the fete.
One hundred and forty wagons loaded
with barrels of beer arrived on the
grounds during the morning, and by
noon all this supply of beer had been
exhausted.
The Czar and Czarina, on their ar
rival in the Park during the afternoon,
were received with deafening cheers
by the multitude. Large numbers of
peasants had walked from the distant
provinces to attend the fete. One feature
of this immense gathering was the lack
of disturbances, the people throughout
the day behaving in a most orderly
manner.
1t is stated that the Mayor Of Mos
cow intends to resign, in consequence
of the disapproval that has been ex-
pressed of speech which he delivered
at the banquet given to the Mayors of
cities.

1t is singular with what persistent
efforts some of the members of the
Legislature are endeavoring to force q
tax upon crude petroleum. When the
bill was brought before the House some
one moved to amend by taxing coal ;
this was, however, Immediately voted
down. There is fairness in all things
and oil is commodity produced in the
same manner as coal or any other min
eral. Why, then, make an exception
and tax it to the exclusion of placing
the same tax on any other commodity :?
This discrimination against the oil re-
gions of Pennsylvania should be de-
nounced by the press throughout the
State in the most decisive and earnest
manner. 1t is o blow at the industry
of the northwestern part of our State.
The result will be that oil operators
will go to other States and other coun-
tries to explore for this hidden treasure
if the Legislature commences to oppress
them.
1t is time the members who are pres
sing this measure should pause and
reflect before going further. The peo-
pie of the oil regions will not stand it,
and woe betide the man or party that
attempts it. Justice is all the oil man
asks.-Er.
