The Morrison Rs3il.

WASHINGTON CITY, April lit is un.
derstood that when the Morrison tariff bill
is called up for consideration in the house a
substitute will be offered aboishing the duty
on salt, lumber, the common qualities oI
wooden goods, raw sugar, and food articles.
1t is thought by tariff reformers that
such substitute will secure the support OF
Republicans and the Randall wing of the
Democrats. Col. Morrison intends calling
up his bill the latter part of this or the first
of next week. a good deal of filibustering is
anticipated, there being a determination upon
the part of the protectonists to defeat con.
sideration Of the bill.

DR.. Carter Moffat recently delivered
lecture in Glasgow to large audience,
mainly composed of professional men and
musical critics, on voice training by
chemical means. DR.. Moffat maintained
that the presence of peroxide of hydro

connection with the beauty of the Italian
vocal tone. A series of illustrations by
persons taken from the audience, who in
hailed a chemical compound made to rep
resent Italian air, are said to have been

The Church Sleeper.

The sleeper. He will be there. Per
adventure he leaneth his chin on a cane,
so that when the moment of deep and
profound slumber cometh upoa him his
chin slippeth off, and with the bang of
his head upon the pew in front of him
he is awakened. Or, the slumberer may
sit bolt upright and nod in time to his
sleep and regular breathing. Only when
you cast your eyes upon him, the watch.
full wife at his bosom stabs him with her
elbow, and he glareth on the congrcga-
ton as one who would say: 'He that
sayeth that | sleep, the same is liar and
villain and a horse thief" Or, if he
be so that he leaneth his head back until
the lid thereof falleth down between his
shoulders and he playeth fantastic tunes
with his nose, insomuch that the boys in
the gallery make merry over the same,
then it is hazardous to awaken this slum-
berer right suddenly, because he dream
eth of divers things, and sayeth to the
tithing man who shaketh him up: "HeyY
hal ha! yes, all right? Pm up" And
thus the congregation is scandalized.
But if he foldeth his handkerchief over
the back of the pew in front, and bow
eth his head deyotedly on the same,
even in that moment when the text is
pronounced, then will that sleeper trouble
no one, but will slumber sweetly on until
the time of the benedictlon; and will
awake refreshed and smiling, and he will
extol the sermon and magnify the preach
er. He is the old timer from Sleepy Hol-
low.-Burdette.

Great Seal of the United States.

Secretary Frelinghuysen says that the

to attest the documents of the State de-

with the design of 1882. He gives the
following description of what the coat
of-arms should be-
Arms paly of thirteen pieces, argent and
gules in chief azure: the escutch eon on
the breast of the American eagle displayed

branch, and in his sinister a bunch of thir-

Bits of Iron in the Grist.

In a collar box on the desk of down
town dealer in machinery for -four mills
were twenty-seven bits of wire of various
lengths and FORMS two barbs, one nail
head, two small lathe nails, two pieces
of larger nails, one piece of a screw, and
q piece of sheet iron.
"How is that for grist2" he re-
marked.
things as that9"
"Not exactly, but millers run just
such grists through their millstones
every day in the year. Several years ago
the genius of the reaping machine man
invented an attachment by which the
grain was bound into sheaves as it was
cut. The binding was done with
wire. As a consequence, when the
wheat was threshed a good deal of that
binding wire went through the thresher
and dropped out in bits into the
wheat. Millers, particularly in the
Northwest, found so much in the grain
that profits were seriously cut by the in
jury done to the millstones. Two or
three associations of milers in different
States resolved to buy no wheat that had

fore milling journal advised the millers
to put magnets in the spouts through
which the grain was received from the
farmer. The miller found that he ac-
cumulated not only lot of binding wire,
but odd and ends of metal that he had
never dreamed of. This lot in the box
came from a grist of fifty bushels But
the magnets had their drawbacks. They
didn't catch all the iron, and they had to
be cleaned by hand. Then an inventor
devised a machine which consists of
hopper, into which the grain runs, and
from which it is fed in an even sheet over
a plate of sheet-iron. The plates serves
as an armature for gang of horseshoe
magnets beneath it. and becoming mag
netized itself, it holds all the metal that
reaches it with the grain. Once min
ute an automatic wiper clears the metal
lie substances from the sheet iron The
machines are of various sizes and makes,
ranging in capacity from twenty five to
300 bushels an hour, and in price from
$45 to 1925. "-NcaO York Sun.

The Arizona CameIs Sold.

The camels which were imported and
used for some time in carrying goods and
freight across the dry wastes of Arizona
were, after the completion of the South
ern Pacific road, turned loose and allowed
to roam away as being of no further use,
Mr.. John Shirley, one of the wealthiest
land owners and largest sheep farmers in
Australia has purchased from the com
pany which imported them the entire lot
of camels, which now by natural increase
number about 400. and he will arrange
for the recapture and shipment of the
animals, which will be big job and re-
quire good deal of time. 1t is pro-
posed to use them in the unsettled and
barren portions of the smallest of the five
continents, and in transporting freight
across the portions which are barren and
destitute of water, but contain some rich
mines. The entire drove was purchased
for so, 900, which is much less than the
same number could be purchased in their
native country and be carried across tho
two oceans for Omaha (Neb.) RepnbLi-

WISE WORDS.

There is no use in sweeping chamber
if all the dust comes out of the broom.
Even genius itself is but fine observa-
ton strengthened by fixity of purpose
Nothing so exasperates some natures
as to be first thwarted, and then severely
let alone.
There is no contagion so mysterious
and awfully rapid in its transmission as
that of panic.
Initiate time. 1t destroys slowly. 1t
undermines, wears, loosens, separates. 1t
does not uproot.
Oh! the malign power of one evil deed
Who can tell when and where its deadly
influence will cease2
An innate dignity and reserve is true
woman's sure protection unless men are
equal to brute violence.
No man, for any considerable period,
can wear one face to himself and another
to the multitude without finally getting
bewildered as to which may be the truer.
In those who wish to be happy the
passions must be cheerful and gay, not
gloomy and melancholy A propensity
to hope and JOY is real riches; to fear and
sorrow, real poverty.
Virtue is SO powerful that of herself
she will, in spite of all the necromancy
possessed by the first inventor, Zoroaster,
come off conqueror in every severe trial,
and shine refulgent in the world, as the
sun shines in the heavens.

heavily coated, and frequent feverish dis
