A large gang of negroes were busily engaged in digging in Norfolk county, Virginia, when Clevelauds election was announced. They heard they would be placed back in slavery if Cleveland was inaugurated and were in great distress. A few days later they were cheered by the report that Cleveland would not be permitted to take his seat" Thereupon they ap- pointed one of their number to pro- ceed to Norfolk to investigate and re port the exact status of the matter. He did so, and upon his return re- ported as fellows; Boys, it's ali right now. De 'Publieans dono took Cleye- land and initiated him, and he pron- ised to do all dey tell him, and dey gwine to let him had his seat, This quieted the company.

COUNTY corRr.

The call for county courts, winch has been made by some of our cotem- poraries, would seen to be a little pre- yious when the circumstances of the heavy rate of taxation prevailing in the various counties of the Territory is taken into consideration, together with the fact that the Territory can get along without county courts for two or four years longer without de- triment to business. It would bs a wiser thing for the Territory to memoriaIize Congress to give us one or two more district judges, 4 matter which was seriously considered at the last session of Congress and which, with proper urging and presentation on tue part cf our Delegate would doubtless Dc granted PheniS Her. ald.

Two years ago an effort was made to fix an additional tax upon the sev- eral counties of the Territory by the creation of a county court, but happi- Iy failed to become a law by the non concurrence of the legislature. Those who were pecuniarily interested in the matter are again moving and hope for it's adoption by the ensuing legls- lature. We trust that that body will so far regard the interest of the tax payers as to kill it so dead that it will know no resurrection, at least until after taxes are less onerous. <

E. GREEN, Importer,

Alas! the poor tailor became
smaller and smaller, until it faded en-
tirely away-and still Ezra made
clothes. One day retired Broadway
merchant saw the imposing sign and,
stepping in, innocentlY asked Ezra the
price of exchange on London.
"The price of Which?" inquired Ezra,
sticking his shears behind his ears.
''Oh, am mistaken. You do not do
banking business?'
Ezra said he made clothes for good
many bankers, but the merchant slid
away as if ashamed of his mistake.
Fortune smiled upon Ezra, atf1uence
gilded his destiny and his clothes wore
well. He rode in a liyeried landaulet,
travelled in foreign chimes, reveled
with the nobility in palaces without
expanding cent outside for patching
his pants. His career was happy and
glorious abroad, and his breeches never
ripped at home. And now Ezra, Jr.,
has become great swell. He is the dude
of dudes. He has a corner house on Fifth
avenue, is President of the Polo Club,
drives tandem team at Newport, and
every night he adorns the front pros
cenium box at the opera, He despises
labor so much that when his coat loses
button he goes into the clothes-press
where no mortal eye can see him and
-sews it on.
Virtue is its own reward. Alas
alas!-Ei Perkins, IN Philadelphia Press.

The Cost Of Sickness.

think, then, that we can not. escape
from the reasons to believe that we lose
in England and Wales, every year, in
consequence of sickness. 100000 600
weeks work; or, say, as much work as
100000 healthy people woulq do in
week.
The number is not easily grssped by
the mind. 1t is equal to about one
fortieth part of the work dong in each
year by the whole populations between
fifteen and sixty-five years old. Or,
try to think of it in money. Rather
more than half of it is lost by those
whom the Registrar-General names the
domestic, the agricultural, and the in
dustrial classes. These are more than
100000 in number. and they lose
about 100000 weeks; say, for. easy
reckoning, at one pound week; and
here is a loss of Ell, 100000 sterling
from what should be the annual wealth
of the country. For the other classes,
who are estimated as losing;the other
5000, 600 weeks work, it Would be
hard and unfair to make a guess in any
known coin; for these include our great
merchants, our judges and lawyers, and
medical men, our statesmen and chief
legislators; they include our Poets and
writers of all kinds, musicians painters
and philosophers; and our pripces, who
certainly do more for the wealth and
welfare of the country than ca1 be told
in moneys tr James Paget, i's Popular

Forgotten Heat.

Thus far this season a stranger COM
ing to Boston and being told that;owing
to the change to standard time;it was
October here, would find little i'm the
temperature to undeceive him. in the
midst of such GOODNESS it is instructive
to recall the frichtfnl heat of past.years.
In 627 A. D., according to French Pc
riodical, the heat was so great in
France and Germany that all springs
dried up; water became so scarUe that
many people died of thirst. In $40
work in the fields had to be given up;
agricultural laborers persisting II; their
work were struck down in fey min
utes, so powerful was the sun. In 993
the suns rays were SO fierce That vege-
tation burned up as under the ACTION of
fire. In 1000 rivers ran dry under the
protracted heat; the fish were loft dry
in heaps, and putrefied in a few ,hours.
The stencil that ensued produced the
plague. Men and animals VentTting in
the sun in the summer of 1922, fell
down dying, the throat parched to
finder and the blood rushing Ito the
brain. In 1882, not only did thS rivers
dry up, but the ground cracked on
every side and became baked Ito the
hardness of stone. The Rhine ins Alsace
nearly dried up. Italy was visited with
terrible heat in 1139, vegetation and
plants were burned up. DuriE;g the
battles of Bella. in 1860, there were
more victims by the sun titan by
weapons; men fell down sunstrucE in reg
ular rows The summer of 1877 was also
severe; there was an absolute dGarth of
forage. 1903 and 1904 the Rhine. Loire
and Seine ran dry. In 1915 tie heat
throughout Europe became excessive.
Scotland suffered particularly in 1925;
men and beasts died in scores, The
heat in several departments dufing the
summer of 1906 was equal to THAT in a
glass furnace. Meat could be'cooked
by merely exposing it to the sun. Not
a soul dare venture out between noon
and four o'clock in the afternoon. In
1918 many shops had to elise; the
theaters never opened their doors for
several months. Not drop OH water
fell during six months. In 1858 the
thermometer rose to one hundTed and
eighteen degrees. In 1879 the. heat at
Bologna was SO great that a great num-

not sufficient air for the breath, and
people had to take refuge under ground.
In July, 1898, the heat became isttolera-
BILE. Vegetables were burned up, and
fruit dried upon the trees. Thu furni-
ture and woodwork in dwelling houses
cracked and split up; meat wenp bad in
an hour. The rivers ran dry insseveral
provinces during 1911; expedite Its had
to be devised for the grinding Of corn.
In 1922 protracted heat wasstaccom-
panied by storms and earth ,iuakes;
during the drought legions of mice over
ran Lorraine and Alsace, committing
incalculable damage. In 1882 lihe heat
brought about cholera in France;
twenty thousand persons fell VICTIMS to
the visitation in Paris alone. I'm 1916
the thermometer marked one Eiundred
and twenty-five degrees in tie sun.
Finally, the summers of 1859, 1860,
1869, 1870, 1874. etc., althougsa excess
sively hot, were not attended by<any dis
aster.-.Boston AdUertiser.

Six Pairs Of Shoes a Minute.

A cobbler takes half a day to sole and
Ttentiary few hundreds of men and
women start with the raw material and
turn out three thousand and eight
hundred pairs of shoes in ten hours, or
more than six pairs Of shoes minute.
The men and women have little to do
with it. Machines do the work, and
need only to be fed, started and
stopped; all the fine and ingenious work
of building beautiful shoe they do, one
part at time and one machine to each
part. For instance, the first machine
cuts the soles out of the leather. It is
nothing but a punch fitted with knife
aile shape of shoe sole. Different
sized knives cut out anything from a
baby's to a plantation darky's size.
Cutting out the soles leaves the sheets of
leather in tatters. The biggest tatters are
used for heels; the smallest make fueI
Leather scraps make as good a furnace
fire as coal does. The next machine
splits thin slice Of the upper surface
of the sole little way from the edge all
around, so that it looks as if thin
sheet had been pasted on to the sole,
leaving the edges unpasted. Under
this loose edge machine presses a little
gutter or channel, in which the mailing
or sewing is done, and afterwards hid
den by pasting the loose edge over it
when the upper is attached.
At the same moment other convicts
are cutting uppers out Of sheets Of
dressed calfskin. They lay patterns on
the skins and thus cut the needed sizes
This is done by hand, but the Innings
are sewed to the uppers, and the button
holes are put through both leather and
Innings BY machinery. The buttonholes
are stitched by automatic machines, con-
sist;ng of a sewing machine having nm

Altitude and Vegetation.


As the atmosphere decreases in
density with its distance from the level of
the sea, so. in relative degree, does its
temperature decrease, and even in the
tropics mountains are found of such
height that their SUBMITS are contin.
ually covered with snow. As we ascend
a mountain we observe that the change
of temperature materially affects vege-
tation. Not only do the individual
plants of species grow less in size, but
the number of species is decreased.
When we reach a certain point we leave
all trees below US, and find only shrubs;
further on, shrubs also disappear, and,
finally, as we approach the snow line,
only lichens and MOSES are found.
Between the equator and the poles
the surface of the earth is divided for
the purpose of botanical geography into
eight zones, bounded by isothermal
lines, and in each zone is found such
vegetation as thrives best under its gen
eral temperature, varying from the
palms and bananas of the equatorial to
the alpine plants of the polar zone. In
ascending high mountain at the
tropics we pass rapidly through belts Of
temperature answering to these zones,
until we reach the snow line at an ele-
vation of about sixteen thousand feet.
Leaving the equator. we find, as rule,
the snow line gradually lowering until as
it approaches the polar regions it is at,
or near, the sea level. So we find near
the equator crops growing, at an ele-
walton of many thousand feet that in
Canada require for their maturity very
favorable situations in sheltered valleys.
This general scheme of vegetation,
according to horizontal and perpendicu-
lar directions, is, however, considerably
modified by locations, as, for instance,
near the sea the average temperature is,
at the same elevation, less than in the
interior on the same latitude, and noun
tains that ocean breezes can reach may
be verdure clad to their tops, while the
SUBMITS of those of the same height in
land are entirely bare. The first trees
to disappear, as we ascend, are decidu-
Gus, except the alders, poplars and
birch; then the eVergreens begin to de-
crease in size, and pines become scarce,
but the species continue to be found at
a high elevation, disappearing suddenly.
In localities like Pixies and Gray's Peaks
in Colorado the Englemann's and
Douglass species are found above other
species of evergreens. Dwarf willows
and birches grow still higher, but not
in any great abundance.
Attempts have been made to show
how much the temperature was lowered
by every one thousand feet of elevation,
and different observers have placad it
variously at from two to three de-
grees, but the results from local and
other causes have been so diverse as to
prove all attempts fUtile.-M z sstaa

Table Covers Of CretOnne.

A very pretty table cover may be !.
made of bright-colored cretonnes or'
chintzes in the following manner: First
make a lining of the shape required to
suit the table. Then measure all around
this space for border about quar-
ter of yard deep, Next, mark of a
square at each corner of the border, the
side of which of course will be one
quarter of yard. The lining is thus
marked off into nine spaces, viz: One
square in each corner, or four in all; a
rectangular portion of the border be-
tween every two squares, or four rect
angles; a large square orrectangle form
ing the center or main part of the
cover. Cut bright piece of cretonne
or chintz of suitable size to cover the
center, and base it down, so that its
edges will just touch the marking line.
Take a different piece of cretonne, and
cut a cover for one rectangle in the
same manner. So proceed for the other
rectangles and for the four squares at
the corners, thus cutting and basting
nine pieces in ali. No two should be
alike, but if desired the four corner
pieces may be of the same pattern OF
the cretonne or chintz. Care must be
taken to have the basting accurate,
Next, take some velvet ribbon, half an
inch wide, and haste over the loins, four
pieces will be used, to outline the di-
vision of the table cover and the border,
as well as to form foundation for
uniting the pieces. Then, upon the vel
vet and through it into the edges Of the
cretonne or chintz work a row OF briar
or coral-stitch in gold-colored floss or a
series of point russo stitches in filosselle
of several shades. 1t will thus be seen
that these fancy stitches join the separ-
ate pieces, and also form bordering
proper. The edge of the table-coVer
NAV be finished in several ways. A
plain hem is sufficient; or, if desired,
second row of velvet, with ornamental
stitches, may be applied; or, better still.
especially if increasing the apparent
size of the table-cover be an object,
wooden fringe or ball trimming, OF var
ious colors, to match the bright tints Of
the cretonnes, may be efectually added
