Cutting Marble Blocks.

Describing the Vermont marble quar-
rios a writer in Wa1pcr's MonMly says ::
The marble is brought to the mills in
massive cubes, is sawed, turned, chiselled,
polished, mounted, and energies as tomb
stones, capitals, cornices, columns, man
tel pieces and table tops. Much of this
work, especially the handwork, can, of
course, be studied in every place where
people die and have monuments set up
by the local stone cutter over their
graves, but the heavier preliminary labor
is best to be seen near the quarries
themselves.
The marble is delivered at the mills in
elongated cubes-parallelopipcds, | sup
pose Euclid would say-from ten to tif
teen feet long and three to five feet
square, and placed on the frames for saw
ing. An expert will then decide as to
the manner of reduction that is, the
thickness and number of the slabs, ac-
cording to the quality, the shape and
size of the block, ort the special nature of
the orders to be filled. In outward APP
pcarance gang" as set of saws is
called, resembles the old-fashioncd up
right sawmill, except that the vertical

spending to the desired thickness of the
cuts. One process, therefore, divides
an entire block into slabs. The
saw has, it should be added, no
teeth. The cutting is the joint effect of
the hard edge of the steel blade and the
wet sand which is fed into the opening
and thus produces an incsive friction. The
ordinary progress is about two and half
inches an hour, and the gangs work night
and day. The polishing of small pieces
is done on Il revolving iron disk some
twelve feet in diameter. The marble is
thrown upon this, and caught by fixed
wooden strips like the radii of circle
while the motion of the wheel. which is
supplied with sand and water. furnishes
the attrition. 1t takes two or three hours
to polish a surface down one inch. Heavy
pieces are smoothcd by hand, with the aid
Of pumice-stone. Marble is turned into
circular shapes in a lathe, exactly like
iron, aud is bored with an ordinary dry
drill.

Watching Ones Self.

"When was a boy" said an old man,
" we had schoolmaster who had an odd
way of catching the idle boys. One day
he called out to us, Boys, must have
closer attention to your books. The first
one that sees another idle | want you TO
inform me, and | will attend to the
case.'n
"Ah," thought to myself, 4" there is
Joe Simmons that don't like. I'll watch
him, and if | see him look off his book
I'll tell. 1t was not long before / saw
Joe look off his book, and Immediately l
informed the master"
Indeed" SAID he, show did you
know he was idlel'
81 saw him, y said l.
You dido And were your eyes on
your book when you saw him2n
Il was caught, and never watched
for idle boys again"
If we are sufficiently watchful over our
own conduct, we shall have no time to
find fault with the conduct of others.

Irrigation on IA Large Scale.

The most gigantic irrigation enterprise
ever inauguratcd in the State of Califor-
mia has been commenced in Fresno
county, the canal for which will be the
largest in the State, and fed by Kings
river. The water is intended to irrigate
30, 900, 900 acres of rich land, at present
barren through lack of water. The
source of supply of this canal will be
higher than any other debouching from
the same stream. Its dimensions are
One hundred feet in width at the bottom !;
lcvees an average of fifteen feet in
height and eight feet wide at the top,
broad enough for a wagon road. The
depth of the water is expected
to be five feet with fall of eighteen
inches to the mile. The dam in the
mountain canon, whence the water is
taken, will be "A wonderful and permanent
one. 1t is twenty feet high, eight
hundred feet long, one hundred and
forty feet wide at the base and twenty
five feet wide on top. 1t is rip-rapped
on the inside with heavy rock, and every
precaution taken to make it sufficiently
strong to securely hold the great weight
of water that must be supported. The
water is led into the canal from a large
headgate, constructed of heavy timber,
one hundred feet in width and eighteen
feet high 1t is planked over so as to
make a bridge for heavy wagons, and has
wings to protect it from the floods. The
canal is expected to carry thirteen hun
dred cubic feet of water per second

THE UNDERTOw.

We "a upon the sunlit sea,
Bat cannot scan the depths below,
For roam how strong its pulse may be,
Until we feel its undertow.
We may know well a sunny face,
But not the silent tide below
The inner grace we cannot trace,
We know not what the undertow.
Our life is more than we yet see;
There still are greater depths to know,
The surface beautiful may be,
But grander is the undertow.
We cannot fathom all the strife,
The mysteries that round us flow:
We only have faith in life,
We only feel the undertow.

Waldeck kills no cows or old cattle fat

over, and the increased favor with which
this kind of meat is received will no
doubt amply justify the additional cost.

willing to pay a fair price for it. N. B.

A new theory as to the cause of Lille
Darst's death is advanced by the jackson
Standard in the following, which bears
the garb of reason: "Miss Lille c. Darst
is dead. She died in Chicago, and the
papers state that she died of nervous pros
tration. That is no doubt true. If it had
been stated that she died from poison of
tobacco smoke, it would have told the
story in palmer language. Miss Darst
was elected Engrossing Clerk Of the Ohio
Senate when it first organized. A woman
of her intelligence should have known bet-
ter than 10 undertake TO live two winters
among forty or fifty smoking sayages

The Grand Army of the Republic, assist
ed by the Band, have undertaken to raise
the necessary funds to defray the expenses
of Decoration Day, thinking this method
would be more satisfactory to the citizens
than to canvass for subscriptions. They
have arranged fine programme Of vocal
and instrumental music, and some of our
best amateur talent will give laughable
farce in connection. We have no hesita.
ton in saying that We believe it will be
greatly superior to such foreign troups as
are apt to visit Wellington. We expect a
first-class entertainment-one that we shall
thoroughly enjoy and one that we shall not
be ashamed that we attended. Let us give
them rouslng house, encourage home

The entertainment will be given in Mallory's
