Punishment of FaIsifiers.

During the fourteenth century there
can be no doubt that the companies
exercised very effective superintend-
ence over trade and manufacture. The
city records abound with the accounts
OF the exposure and punishment OF
fraud at the instigation of the compa-
mes, whose representatives seem to
have used their powers of scrutiny and
search with considerable vigor. Some
OF the cases reported with all solemni-
ty in the ''Rembrancia" are very
quaint and afford curious insight in
to the manners of the times. Thus in
1911 we read of scrutiny of ''false
hats, being prosecuted sat the re-
quest of the ''hatters,' with the result
that fifteen black and forty gray hats
were seized as false, and condemned
to be burned in Chepe; while ''certaln
other hats" of the bona fdes of which
there was some doubt, were ''post-
poned for future consideration" In
1916 ''the good folk of the trade OF
potters'' denounced to the mayor and
aldermen diverse persons, and es-
pecially one ''Aleyn lie Sopere,' who
b1sied themselves by buying sin di-
verse places pots of bad metal, and
then put them on the fire so as to re-
semble pots that have been used and
are of old brass, and then" the record
continues, ''they expose them for sale
in West Chepe on Sundays and other
festival days to the deception of all
those who buy such pots; for the mo-
ment they are put upon the fire and
exposed to great heat, they come to
nothing and melt. BY which roguery
and falsehood the people are deceived.

sold part thereof sin deceit of the peo-
ple." He was sentenced to stand in
the pillory while ''the residue of the
gammons was burned beneath him"
In the same way seller of bad wine
was condemned to stand in the pillory,
to drink draught of his own stuff and
to have the remainder poured over his

tors the protection of this excellent
law, and sigh that the solace of its dis
eliminating application is denied to
us.-Quarterty ReUieU.

Properly Packing a Trunk.

s'Each dress should have its own
wrap or cover, to preserve it from
chating and fading. Take fine, firm
cotton cloth, something over yard
wide, cut it into squares then hem and
wash The squares. They should be
fine, to take no room, and weigh little;
firm to keep away dust; hemmed, that
you may keep TIE same side next the
silk; ami washed to do away with the
bleaching chemicals, which are liable
to change the color of the silk. Fold
the bottom of the train back and forth
in eighteen or twenty three-inch folds,
SO as to fit the box you have for it.
The bottom now being all together,
you will cover it with a small cloth or
towel, to keep the dusty train from
rubbing against the cleaner parts of
the robe; roll the whole dress loosely
to the size and shape of the box, Law 1T
upon the white cloth, and fold the
corners of the same over the top of
the package, and place it in the box.
Now loosen the roll and adjust it to its

places, and distributing the thick to
the thin spots. When you come to
use the robe, shake it out. and you
will find it in good condition. The
fold of q dress or shawl will often
work up between the trays or boxes,
and by motion of cars, wagons, etc.,
get chafed into holes; to avoid this,
pin the cloth cover so it cannot jut
over the box. To pack laces, fold
them IN blue tissue-paper or soft linen,
because white paper contains bleach
ing acids, and dlscolors and decays
ribbon or lace. The same is true of
white shoes or gloves, and especially
silver ornaments. The latter though
worn every evening. retain their pur-
ity and brilliancy for months if kept
closely in blue tissue-paper. Shoes
and slippers should never be folded
together without a cloth or paper be-
tween them, as the sole of one soils
the upper of the other. Put one in
the cloth, turn it over, then add the
other.-lfrs. Helen Potter.

Andrew JOhnsOn's Industry.

Andrew johnson has had few equals
in industry in the white house. He
rose at 6, and until breakfast, which
was served at 1880, looked over the
newspapers. Immediately after break
fast he went to the executive apart
ments, and commenced the labor OF
the day. First. there were bundles of
letters to be read and the replies die
tated to the secretaries. Applications
for appointments, promotions, dis
charges from the army and navy,
political advice, petitions for executive
clemency, and innumerable other sub
jects were disposed of; but, before half
completed, the visitors commenced to
flock into the ante-roems and thrust
their cards upon him. Pardon-seekers
swarmed on every hand. Former
owners of confscated property paced
up and down before the door of the
presidents room, and females with in
describable effrontery, insisted upon
immediate admittance.
After the most important business
of the morning had been disposed of,
the visitors were admitted one by one,
and the president submitted himself
to the artesian process. This lasted
I'LL dUOuU JtsSu L VI SoluSIiluCo
o'clock, when the doors of his apart
ment were opened and the whole crowd
admitted. At such times Col. John
son, son of the president, or Col.
Browning, private secretary, stood
near the president and took memor-
anda as dictated by him on the cases
of the visitors who succeeded each
other with subjects for executive ac-
ton, like the dense throng at a post
office window. The presidents man
ner at such times was always pleasant,
and gave confidence to the most tinid.
His decisions were quick, and each in
diyidual who laid his case before the
president learned in half a dozen cOur-
teous words the final decision. When
all had been listened to, and the halls
were once more empty, the president
turned again to papers on his table un-
til o'clock, the hour for dinner. At
ter dinner he returned to his Office,
ard there generally remained until a
late hour, seldom retiring before II
o'clock. His favorite journalists were

Grant as a, Soldier,

From an anecdotal and reminiscent
article by General Adam Badeau, on
the characteristics of Grant as a
soldier, in the May Century Diagazine
we qnote the following: cat the close
of the war, the man who led the vic
torious armies was not forty-three
years of age. He had not changed in
any essential qualities from the cap
tain in Mexico or the merchant in
Galena. The daring and resource that
he showed at Donelson and Vicksburg
had been foreshadowed at Panama and
Garita San Cosme: the persistency be-
fore Richmond was the development
of the same trait which led him to seek
subsistence IN various occupations,
and follow fortune long deferred
through many unsuccessful years.
Developed by experience, taught by
circumstance, learning from all he saw
and even more from what he did, as
few have ever been developed or
taught, or have learned. he neverthe-
less, maintained the self-same person
ality through it ali. The character
istics of the man were exactly those he
manifested as a soldier-directness
of purpose, clearness and certainty of
judgement, selt-reliance and immuta-
BILE determination.
Grants genius, too. was always
ready; it was always brightest in an
emergency. All his faculties were
sharpened In battle; the man who to
some seemed dull, or even slow, was
then prompt and decided. When the
circumstances were once presented to
him, he was never long in determin-
ing. He seemed to have faculty of
penetrating at once to the heart of
things. He saw what was the point
to strike, or the thing to do, and he
never wavered in his judgment after
ward, unless. of course. under new
contingencies. Then he had no false
pride of OPT Mon, no hesitation in un-
doing what he had ordered; but if the
circumstances remained the same. he
never doubted his own judgment. l
asked him once how he could be so
calm in terrible emergencies, after
giving an order for a corps to go into
battle, or directing some intricate
manRuvre. He replied that he had
done his best and could do no better;
others might have ordered more wisely
or decided more fortunately, but he
was conscious that he had done what
he could, and gave himself no anxiety
about the judgment or the decision.
Of course he was anxious about the
accomplishment of his plans, but never
as to whether he ought to have at
tempted them. So, on the night of
the battle of the Wilderness, when the
right of his army had been broken and
turned, after he had given his orders
Tor new dispositions, he went to his
tent and slept calmly till morning.
Not that he was Indifferent

A Canary Birds BacchanaI Song.

A tiny yellow-feathered canary bird
stopped eating hemp seed, and began
cooking it's head on one side, then
scratching its bill with one claw, the
bird began to sing in fute-like tones.
1--WE won't go Home till Morning"
Every note was as true and prompt as
a French music box. Despite the ami
mated appearance of the songster, it
was so unnatural to hear the royster-
ing song of the >bacchanals chanted by
canary, that the bystander looked
suspiciously around 10 find the music
box which was playing the tune. The
bird belongs to l.. ID. Stebb1ns, the
matchmaker, on Wisconsin street, and
he explained the naodus operamdi by
which the little songster acquired its
surprising faculty.
He said that the bird had been bred
by himself, being common canary.
The parent birds were chosen with
reference to volume of voice and quail
ity. Gas soon as the bird was born,"
he said, 1.-THE education was begun. A
ployed. Beginning thus early it was
eight months before the education was
completed. The bird can sing we
Won't &C Home till Morning, fault
lesslv, but there its requirements end,
1t has never heard any other song.
That tune was played at the bird three
times day on an organ. 1t is COM
mon canary, and IS valuable on ac-
count of its superior education, inso-
much that l was offered $40 for it a
few days ago, Ignorant common ca
naries sell for 81, which proves con-
clusively that there is nothing lost by
educating them.-MdGoaas5ee Wiscou-

Pasteur's Greatest Achievement.

The greatest single achievement of
Pasteur was his restoration of the
silk-worms in France to their normal
health. after he had discovered and
treated successfully the disease which
he found them suffering from. The
wool-worm or sheep of France was
suffering, too, from a fatal disease,
a,atlwar, which nobody had yet ex-
planned or found remedy against.
For quiet and practical benevolence,
no act of man in France for many
years equals the work of Pasteur in
searching out and overcoming these
two pests of the industries by which
millions are supported, and the beau
ty of his achievement is that it seems
likely to hold good for all time, and to
be, as it has been, the indication for
other discoveries of even greater inn
portance. 1t is not likely that even
Pasteur himself will make many more,
for he is now 81 years old, and has
never fully recovered from the paraly-
sis which attacked him in 1858, at the
close OF his labors in hetsilk-worm
regions of France. 1t is needless to
describe what he did in this enterprise,
for it has often been published and is
the most romantic episode in his ro-
mantle career. He restored to it's for
mer prosperity the cocoon industry
which had yielded more than 130, ,000,-
600 francs year, but which the ''pep-
perage" (ne6rtne) had reduced in
amount to less than 30.000.000 francs.
The yield had been 100000 kilo-
grams of cocoons in 1858, but in 1865
only 1000. .OOO,-so that the pecuniary
loss in - years amounted by that
time to S25, 900 year. No other
achievement of Pasteur's had such
immediate and beneficial pecuniary
results-for now the yearly income
has been restored, and not only IN
France, but in other countries of the
silk-worm. .-Springfeld Republican.
