A graduate of Yale College, Dr.. Samuel
X. Cox, d. D., Practical and Analytical
Chemist, Washington, ID. c., makes the
following official statement: Z" To the
thousands whose systems instinctively
shrink from the use of Morphia and Opium,
and especiallyto mothers, who justly dread
the evil, and at times, fatal effects Of these
dangerous drugs, the Red Star Cough Cure
must provo boon. 1t is not only entirely
free from all opiates, poisons, and emetics

ten can boast), but it is altogether an
original and most happy combination Of
the best remedial agents, and is as harm
less as it is effective. | base this assertion
on careful analyses and numerous practical
tests--the latter in every case resulting in
speedy cure.
The Charles A Vogeier Company, Baiti-

Manufacturers of this valuable remedy.

The boys looked around in amazemcnt,
and when they saw the old farmer on

pants and bare feet, made picture that
the young Baltimore orioles did not
enjoy. The old man took the lead,
went over fences, and when the mule
could not jump a fence it would ron
against it and knock it down. Come

on, but it seemed rs though thorough

Adjournment to Many Heads.
Gone of the hardest posts in a hat
factory" said boss hat-maker, ycster-
day, "is that of n shaver. Few people
know that there is such q person in Il
hat factory; but there is, aud his work
is as important as it is difficult He is
armed with thin, narrow-bladed knife,
tive 20 inches long, and as sharp as
steel can possibly be made, in which
condition it must be kept at all times.
The hat body comes to the shaver in its
raw condition. II is in the shape of a
V, and is covered with short, fine hair,
and perfectly dry The hat body is
placed over the knee cap of the man,
who is to shave it with the point up.
The knife is then taken in the right
hand, and, with the edge from the body,
is drawn back and forward with such
quickneSs that you would wonder that
an arm could be moved so fast. In the
meantime, great care must be taken, as
the least pressure of the edge of the
knife cuts the hat, and it is spoiled.
"In the factories where nothing but
iir-t-claSs goods are made these cut hats
are thrown on the hands of the work.
men, but in others the wOrkmen lose
only about one-haif of the value of the
hat, and the firm sells it to some second
class manufacturer. The only differ
cuce is that n smaller-sized hat is made,
the body being first worked over, so
that the top point is drawn away from
the cut until the latter is about midway
between the top and the outer edge,
after which the hat is made up in The
usual way. Hats made in this say
from bodies which were intended for
the highest priced hats can be sold for
about half price, and also be of the best
material. A number of retail houses
who sell low-priced goods deal in these
hats.
when the knives are worn down by
constant sharpening, the workman takes
them home for use in his kitchen. and
they are without doubt the finest knife
ever made for such use. The blade be-
ing 50 thin, its own weight will almost
take a slice from loaf of bread, and
the thinness of Il slice of roast beef
which it shavcS off would make Your
mouth water. The only trouble is that
whenever the edge touches a bone, or
other hard substance, it is dcntcd or

HorSo-car railways are an American
invention, and have been introduced in-
to every town in this country having
10000 inhabitants or more. In New
York there are nearly $50 miles of street
railroad. but in Europe the mileage of
these tramwayS, as they are there call
ed, are relatively small. In the United
Kingdom in 1882 there were only j63
miles of road, of which seventy were in
London and llS in Manchester. In the

The dudes near Baltimore, who have

farmer who interfcred with their sport
not long ago. The fox hunters are
wealthy Young men, who own the fines

Tue editors OF some OF our es.

in the country towns have had the
felicity of being appointed Post

are doubtless looking forward to

neglect his Office for bis paper, nor
his paper TO his Office.
We would heartily congratulate
these esteemed cotempOraries who
are. sure of being Postmasters, were
it not for Que solemn thought.
They have been boiling hot parti-
saus these many years when they
were out in tue cold; how high
will the thermometer of their part

selves very offensive politically to

right out aud pitch right in, aud
there Is no inoffensiveness in them.
From writing "A red-hOt Democratic
