A Hot Water Peddlor.
McKeesport tPa.l News.

Mcheesport (Pa-l news.
A man in West Newton takes the biscuit when
it comes to.Gseer ways of making living. The
indvidnal-in question now earns his bread and
butter by supplying the good people Of that city
with hot water. He has fitted up an immense
iron tank at Markle's paper-mill, and into it has
run all the steam escapes about the place. The
steam soon condenses and makes the softest and
purest water in the world. He has fitted up a
tank wagon, in which he delivers his stock. Be-
fore commencing operations he secured nearly
100 customers, whom he has served regularly
from the start. In the morning he comes around
early and supplies the boiling hot water for the
breakfast. At noon he makes his second trip,
and many housewife need not bother roasting
herself over fire heating her tea-kettle, but
have hot water left at the door when wanted.
Another trip is made at supper, and sometimes
in the evening On wash-days very few ladies
bother heating water but secure their wash
water from the vender. His trade has grown so
large that he will soon have to put another
wagon at work. and his example will, no doubt,
be initiated in many other places.

delay in arriving at the official result of the vote
in New York was that nothing had been heard
from the cow in the State of New York who, ac-
cording to veracious writer's last summer first
made known the election of Grover Cleveland as
mayor of Buffalo to her owner and his neighbors
by loud and long continued believing, and who,
though usually quiet animal did the same when
he was nominated for Governor, was even moro
demonstrative when he was elected to that office,
and fairly frightened the neighborhood by her
noise when he was nominated for the presidency,
last July. No one reports any returns from that
COW on or since Nov. 4 So the Governor might
inquire, "Why art thou silent thou voice of my

Mrs. Hayes kept pet COW in the lot south of

Cleaning Brass.
Churchman.

The government method of cleaning brass
deserves to be generally known. Dip the
articles in a mixture of one part common
nitric acid and one-half part sulphuric acid in
stone jar, and then into water, and rub
them with saw-dust They at at once take on a
brilliant color. If the brass is greasy it should
first be dipped in strong solution of potash
and soda in warm water, which so cuts the
grease that the acid is enabled to act. Rusted
steel, it is said, can be cleansed by washing with
a solution of half an ounce of cyanide of potas-
stun in two ounces of water, and brushing with
a paste made of half an ounce of cyanide of pot
assium, half an ounce of CASTLE soap, an ounce
of whiting, and water enough to make paste,

some unknown reason tailors continued to put
them on, and we do not protest against them,
because we think the tailors know what we want
better than we do ourselves. 1t is a great

IL Cleveland Ii elected we may AK
pect to see the free traders who secured
his nomination still more active in
their loyalty to England by trying to
break down the barriers of protection.
The English papers are loud in their
praise of Cleveland because he Is the
representative Of a party that's opposed
to FREQ tr sde. In this they and the
the leaders of the Democratic party ara
in perfect harmony and accord. The
English papers favor the breaking
down of the tariff because 1t will let
more English goods into the market,
and the Democrats favor it because
they expect to entice the working pso-
pie to their support by the gilded bait Of
cheaper goods.
In breaking down this tariff to allow
England to supply our markets with
cheap goods the English manufacturer
have the hearty aid of the Democratic
party, and the Democratic party has
the hearty aid of . million or two labor
ers, who are employed in American
manufactures. These laboring men
do not vote the Democratic ticket pur-
posely to have free trade, but they vote
it because they have always voted
that way and they do not want to change
now.
There is a pleasurable excitement in
an election campaign they cannot fore

under the grand old Democratic party.
They want TO beat the Republicans, tina,
is all. Should they beat the Republi.
cans this time and elect Cleveland, and
tree trade follow, they will wake up to
the fact that they have been voting
themselves out of work voting that
their wages shall be reduced vo-
ting that British manufactures and no,
