substance to render it safer to handle

to this mass it burns with a strong fame

son Of a poor Virginian, stern,
strong, taciturn man. The boy was
a huge youth of TO- At the cabin
fire, at bed time, according to the
custom Of putting on back log, the
old man said, between the whiffs Of
his silent pipe:
''Tab, go out and bring in that
gum back log and put it on the fire. !"
Tab went out and surveyed the
log. He knew it was of no use ex
planning that it was too heavy. nor
prudent for him to return without
having it on his shoulder. His lit
tie sister, passing, was not surprised
that he requested her to bring out
the gun and powder horn, as a pos
sum or coon might have passed, or
the brother might have seen bear
signs. She brought out the gun and
Tab started. He found his way
through the woods into Kentucky,
in 1891. After an absence of eigh-
teen years he was elected to Con-
gress. A man of immense size and
strength, he started for Washington,
going by the way of his old home, to
see the old folks who had long since
given him up for dead. Entering
the little cabin door near bed time,
he saw the identical gum log. He
shouldered it, pulled the latch string
and with his load stood before the
old man, pipe in mouth, as quiet as
usual.
"Here is the gum back log father. .

AT a recent meetiug 81 li,r Inst i.
tuition of Mechanical Engineers,
London. the Hadtield Steel Foundry
Company showed specimens of steel
castings and pieces Of steel wholly
without magnetic capacity, includ-
ing axes and other tools carrying a
fine cutting edge, which were the
subjects OF very great interest to
those present, for these cast tools re-
quireno treatment of any kind when
they come from the mould. They
are very hard, but what Is more re-
markable is that they are very tough
at the same time They require no
hardening or temperiIfA~ The. steel
of these remarkable properties is
made by thoroughly Incorporating,
under Mr.. Robert Hadtield's patent,
from to II per cent. OF rich ferro-
manganese, containing about SO per
cent. of manganese. The applica
lions Of this remarkable metal,
it need hardly be said, are innumer
able. Tools Of almost every descrip
tion can now go straight from foun
dry to grinding and finishing rooms,
while for the numerous engineering
purposes to which steel is applied,
for strength, toughness, and hard
ness are now added.

No Man Liveth Unto Him.
SELF

'sSuch as are careless Of themselves
are seldom mindful Of Others"
-0ld Proyerb.
Very true indeed. Take the sloth-
full man who breads action of any
kind; whci is too slack to keep him
self tidily dressed that he may appear
at his own table as gentleman
should, and see how disagreeably his
habits affect every one about him.
His children are allowed to be rude
to his guests, and lawless concern
ing the minor qualities VIII ich go so
far towards forming their charac-
tiers; all because he is too INDECENT
to correct them as he should. Is
such man farmer, then his fences
are never kept in good repair and
his cattle and swine run over his
neighbours fields, destroying not only
the crops, but also the good feeling
that ought to prevail between tkem.
Is he a merchants clerk, he is
careless about being punctually at
his post as he ought to be to attend
properly to his employers concerns,
and often in this way loses good
position, merely by being too self
indulgent to be scrupulous about the
rights of others. If he is so easy and
clever as to lend money here and
there to habitnal borrowers, he will
in his turn borrow from others and
never trouble himself about their be-
ing repaid
Thus no man lives to himself, but
his character and habits unc0n-
sciously affect the comfort and hap
piness of all those around him for
good or i'll, according as he is con-
scientious in his behaviour towards
them, or careless and unthinking.

give it opportunity to spread itself
on both sides, the width ranges up
to twenty-five miles or more. Let 1t

The Quarrel Over Talmage' q
Pulpit.
New York Tribune.l

lNCW iuih iIlUuHc.
ibid you ever hear the story about
the pulpit end Of Talmage's taber-
nacle?" said business man who
lives in Brooklyn to a Herald report
er. "No." why, the land on
which the pulpit stands doesn't be-
long to the tabernacle at all. When
the new building was put up about
ten years ago the owner of the land
let the people 60 ahead and said
nothing until the church was COM
pleted. Then he jumped on them
and he has kept jumping on them
ever since. They didn't know that
they had backed over on his land,
but he knew it all the time, and they
have had it pretty effectually brought
to their attention. They wanted to
buy the land and he wouldn't sell;
finally they fixed on rental of $500
a year. Every time he sends around
the bill he puts on $50 or 500. They
refuse to pay and. say they can't
stand such an exorbitant raise.
Then he begins preparations to pull
down the pulpit end of the meeting
house; they come down with the ad-
ditional rental, and all goes on Sc
renely till the next pay day."
