OF course, it is not pleasant to be flog-

school, and guess you'll haYe to stand

"But, pa, l feel mighty bad about it
already, and if you would pay my fine
ia never do it again. A dollar amt

The boy took the dollar and went

Mr. Taylor learned casually several
months later that the Spartan youth
had received the walloping and filed a.

boy was afterward heard to say that he

Wonderful Automatons.

Very many of the tiny screws used
in this country in matchmaking are
turned out on three little automatic
machines in Danbury, Conn. One of
them, while turning out perfect screw
at fair rate Of speed, is considerably
improved on by its companions. The
machine takes up but little room. a
man could carry it under his arm with.
out much difficulty. A wire is fed
through a tube into the machine. 1t ia
carried forward by revolving teeth.
AS it appears knife cuts away the
surplus metal to make the stem for
the thread, just as the chisel operates
at the lathe Of the wood turner. AS
this is finished small tube, in which
the thread is formed, advances and
clasps the stem, forms the thread at
lightning speed and falls back. AS
this is done two knives cut that por-
tion of the wire eff, and the completed
screw falls down. The wire again ad-
vances and the process is repeated.
The marvel of the machine is best
grasped when the slZe OF the screw
formed is understood. They are an
eighth of an inch in length and it
would require 900 of them to weigh an
ounce. The thread on the stem is SO
that it is scarcely discernble to the ma
ked eye. Each machine will make ),
90 screws day. The machines have
been at work but little more than q
month and are the result of years of
patient investigation.

Iieraniums.
Com

For consistency of bloom the geranium
is unequaled. Small plants, that can
be bought very cheap, If put out in May,
will completely fill bed in three weeks
after planting, and early in June will be
q mass of flowers, and continue getting
better and better until blackened by the
frosty nights of autumn. While other
plants are willing under the scorohing
rays Of our summer sun, the geraniuIo
seems to glory i'll the hottest weather.
There is such variation in the color Of
the flower, as well as in the form and
color of the leaves, that with few vari-
cites of geraniums more artistic and
varied bed can he made than with almost
any other flower. The center of large
bed may he scarlet, with light colors
around, or few rows on the border may
be of the silver-leaved kinds. Indeed,
we have seen delicate and intricate pat
terms formed of geraniums alone in some
Of the celebrated gardens OF Europe.

Edward Everett Hale
GIVES EXCELLENT REASONS FOR SUPPoRriSG
BLAINE AND LoGAN.-WHAr He SAYS IN
THE INDEPENDENT.

The situation, as understand it. ia this
From 1901 to 1861 the national administra-
ton was generally in the hands of a compac,
Southern oligarchy, which used the machin-
cry of administration for its own purposes,
and greatly to the injury of the nation.
From 1861 to this time it has been in the
hands Of the Northern States. In this period
have been made the greatest advances in the
national history, and for the first time there
has been a certain effort to make the Govern.
ment represent the principles on which we
all say il is founded.
1t now seems possible for the solid South
ern oligarchy, by a combination with the
voters of the worst wards of the city of New
York, to regain the power they lost in 1861.
Many gentleman, whom highly respect,
ask me and others who have voted with the
republican party TO assist this combination.
You ask me to. do not think shall-very
much.
1t must be remembered that the election "a
democratic President means the election of
a democratic Congress. Though he were an
immaculate saint, as believe it is proposed
that he shall be, he could do little to restrain
the hunger of such a throng. For, very I'M
fortunately, the President with us has but
little power when he is alone.
The election of q republican President
means the election of q republican Congress.
Such Congress cannot do much harm; it
may prevent good deal. am told that the
election of democratic President is to be a
step in civil service reform. do not see it..
| believe MIR. Carlisle and the democratic
convention are expected TO promise this to
the independents of the North. So remem-
Der that the forester In "1Esop" promised his
daughter to the lion if he would let him trim
his claws. After the claws were trimmed the
forester knocked the lion in the head.
The objection urged to Mr.. Blaine in the
Journals edited by Englshmen is tina. his
policy will be national or American. With
my views of the politics of the world, this is
not a serious objection

To assume the contrary. as the independent
