Monslgnor Capel Answered.

Monsignor Capel was at the opening
exercises of New York grammar school
recently, where the children sang ''The
Star Spangled Banner" The Monsignor
quizzically asked the class why they
called it ''The land Of the free"
Because we govern ourselves, " was
the reply.
"Well, why do you call it the home of
the brave?' Monsignor asked.
The question was poser, but bright
little girl Of about ten finally raised her
hand.
"Well, my little girl, why do you call
it the home of the braYeP"
Because we licked the English" she
responded triumphantly.
Monsignor Capel asked no further
questions about the 'Star Spangled Ban
ner,"

UNBELIEF.

There is no unbelief;
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod,
And wants to see it push away the clod,
He trusts to GOD.
Whoever says, when clouds are in the sky,
"Be patient,- heart; light breaketh by and
by"
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees, meath winters field of snow,
The silent harvest of the future grow,
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Content to lock sense in slumber deep,
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says, Tomorrow" "The I'm
known"
ssThe Future" trusts that Power alone
He dares not disown,
The heart that looks on when the eyelids
close,
And dares to live when life has only woes,
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbelief;
And day by day, and night, unconsciously,
The heart lives by that faith the lips deny,
God knows why,

CORN HUsKING MACHINE.
Experiments With a New Invention Re
Gently.

Experiments With New Invention Re-
Gently.
Several attempts have been made to
construct a machine that would husk
corn rapidly by steam or horse power,
but so far each attempt has been attended
with slight success. Husking by hand
was found to be preferable. An exhibi-
ton was given recently at the foundry
of w. H. Hibbard, No. 45 York street,
Brooklyn, of recently invented husk-
ing machine. The frame of the new
machine, which is hard wood, is 5 feet
long, 3 feet wide, and Al feet nigh. In
this frame are fitted tour corrugated
two of hard pressed leather, set to work
by system of cog wheels and other
machinery which strips the corn of its
covering.
The unhusked corn is fed to the rollers
by hand, passing through two troughs COW
cred with zinc. When the corn reaches the
rollers it is immediately stripped, flat
brass springs keeping it in position I'M
til the stripping is accomplished. The
rollers are SO constructed, with springs on
each side, as to give ample room for
husks or punches of husks to pass
through easily, and, also, on each side of
the rollers are combs to clean their teeth
and so prevent clogging. Wooden car
riers are attached to the machine, which
carry the corn to the crib or wagon and
the husks in another direction. The in
ventor claims for the machine that it will
strip 125 bushels of corn an hour, while
the average quantity stripped by hand is
only 80 bushels.
The experiment tried was on
green corn which had been for several
days dried in q furnace. The conse-
quence was that small portion of the
corn which was still soft was slightly
bruised in passing over the rollers. If
the corn had been older, it was explained
this would not have happened.

WORTH AND THE WOMEN.
How the Great Man-Milliner Manages His
Customers.

CubCOuleESs
Says correspondent: My first visit
in Paris is always to Worth, not only be-
cause he is great artist, but because he
is an entertaining man. He has large
establishment in the Rue de Ia Paix,
where four hundred young women stitch,
stitch, stitch, rot at all in poverty, hun
ger and rags. His employees number l.,
200 in all and during the Commune, when
nobody ordered dresses or anything else,
Worth provided for seventy of his work
women, though he, too suffered for want
of decent food. That the man is genius
in his profession is as evident as the null
tiplicatlon table. He inherited his ability
from his mother, who possessed exquisite
taste. You must not judge Worth by all
the dresses made by him, as l used to do.
If woman insists upon having a fuzzy
furbelowed costume, Worth is obliged to
make it, however disguised he may be.
''My life is anything but a bed of
roses, he said one day. what | have
to endure from some women is simply in
credible, when it is remembered they
call themselves ladies' A person sailed
in one day and gave an order, saying, 4
don't like your taste, Mr.. Worth; want
so and So. Madame, replied, you
can have what you want, but am quite
sure if | had your taste ! shouldn't have
any customers She didn't mind that
sarcasm; she didn't understand it. What
do women come to me for if they don't
like my style? That's what they pay for.
Why don't they make their own dresses
if the know 50 much about it? Another
lady said: "You make my cousin
dresses, and don't approve of them, Mr..
Worth Neither do |, madame | an
swered. If your cousin likes colors
mixed up, can't help it. II you have a
more cultivated eye than your cousin,
congratulate you.
That's the way Worth talks to people.
1t doesn't make the least difference who
they are. He says exactly what he thinks.
A grand dame once went up to Worth to
show him costume she wore for the first
time. CHANGING at her, Worth exclaimed:
Your dress is spoiled by your gloves
Take them Off And off they came.
Worth is a tallish man, with big head
and very prominent forehead. His brown
eyes are singularly shrewd in expression
and their seizure of detail is surprising,
that is, for man. AS rule men have
no more eye for detail than owls have for
the sun.-Miss Kate Field III the Boston
| Herald.

TRACKING HIS MOTHERS MUIR
DEFER,
Mt. Carmel News.

Mt. Carmel News.
Fourteen years ago Joseph Comoski,
ST., died in Poland, leaving a snug estate,
and Joseph Comoski, jr, his sister and
the two children's mother. The hours OF
mourning had scarcely passed when Mi
chael Shamolick turned his eyes upon
Miss Comoski. He wooed and won. To
possess the estate now became his un,
holy ambition. The widow stood in the
way of the successful accomplishment OF
his foul object. He meditated, and finally
determined to resort to foul means for the
removal of this obstacle.
One morning the little Polish village
was excited as it had never been before.
Some one during the hour of sleep had
foully murdered Widow Comoski. Sus-
piciOn at once attached itself to the SON
in,law. Pursued by the law and guilty
conscience, he fled from the land of his
birth, crossed the ocean and found en-
ployment in the mines of Pennsylvania.
Here he considered himself secure.
Joseph Comoski, jr., though but boy
of IA years, swore solemnly to avenge
his mothers death, even should the MUIR
derer seek the most distant spot on earth.
In pursuance of this resolve he babe a
tender adieu to his betrayed sister and
sailed for America. Fortune favored the
brave youth, and soon after he found his
mothers murderer at Pottsville. He at
once made his discovery known to the
Polish consul at New York, and ac-
quainted him with all the facts in the
case. The sympathy of the official was
enlisted in the boys behalf, and he
promised his assistance. The boy
kept watch over the murderer's do
ings, following him from town to town
Finally the fugitive was apprehended
while engaged in the commission of a
robbery, and sent to the Philadelphia
penitentiary for a term of three years.
The consul, in the meantime, had written
to Poland and learned of the correctness
Of the boys story. He then secured the
eXtradition papers, and the boy came to
Mt Carmel, where so many of his coun.
trymen reside, to work while the three
years sentence of his mothers murderer
was passing. He found employment at
the Pennsylvania colliery as an ash
wheeler. By his industrious habits he
earned the good will of his bosses, and
was finally promoted foreman, a position
he now satisfactorily fills.
The young man is scrupulously careful
in saving his earnings, and it was knowl-
edge of this, followed by an inquiry from
an official, that led to recital Of the
above facts. The young man has sue
ceeded in keeping his secret from his
countrymen, and this account will proba-
bly, be to them startling He has collected
snug little sum from his economical
habits, and, with fire in his eye, one day
last week remarked to our informant that
upon the completion of the murderer 8
term Of Imprisonment the extradition pa
pers would meet him in the face and the
villain should swing from the Polish gal.
