To a reporter Mr.. Aubin confded a
few of the mysteries attending his
ascent to the top of st. Paul's Reformed
Episcopal steeple, which explain pretty
much how his work in general is ac-
,omplished. The total height Of the
Iteeple from the ground was 200 feet,
the spiral portion which rose from the
iower being 125 feet Placing his block
and tackle and his swing stage in a col
cement position on the ledge of the
tower, lie climbed to the highest posi-
ole point in the inside of the spiro from
which he could gain an exit to the open
lir.
Emerging from the Interior, he windi
4 rope three times around the spire in T..
mysterious and unexplained manner,
and fastens the two ends together. Ha
hen winds another rope once around
no spire, fastons its ends together, and
attaches thereto a belt which is bound
around his body. This part Of the APP
oaratus is designed to keep his body from
falling back and afford general steadi-
ness in the ascent. He then grasps the
lower coil of the triple rope with one
hand and the higher with the other, and
walks along the center rope, changing
At every step his hand-grasps on the
other ropes. lie thus winds his way
around the spire, getting higher at
every step, steadied meanwhile and
Kept in position by the rope to which
the waist belt is attached. AS he gradu-
ally gets higher the support rope tends
TO get loose, and this is remedied by
irawing on it by the buckles of the
waist belt.
When a height is reached whore the
spiro is sufficiently narrow to permit the
climber to grasp it around with his arms
he lets go his hold on the ropes and
Chambers to tho top. Once there, by
means of II small clothes-lino he let's
down u hammer. the claws of which
,ei1e the block and tackle on the tower
below, and both are then raised to the
top A descent is then made for the
swing-stage, which is attached to a hook
4 the block, and the steeple-jack is now
-,ady to begin work.

A Grant memorial has been started
at Mount Mansfield, Vt, without
money, without authority, without de-
sign, without generalization, without
care, oversight or responsibility on any
body 5 part, and yet bidding fair to be-
come an important and interesting
monument. 1t is already so far ad-
vanced as to be a noticeable feature of
the local scenery, and will attain i'm
posing proportions long before actual
work on any other memorial is begun.
but will not be finished for generations
yet to come, if it is ever finished at all.
This structure is simply a cairn of
stones, begun almost by accident, and
contributed to by the summer visitors.
The unparented suggestion that each
newcomer should add a stone to the
growing pile has been so widely adopted
that Of late parties have been formed in
distant localities TO make excursions to
Mount Mansfield for the purpose of lay
ing tributes on the cairn. some rare
and curious stones have been con
tributed, and many bearing inscriptions
are daily brought in.

In the land of the Hindoos, who are
a very amiable and gentle people, there
is in many houses u room called the
K~rodhagara, or the Chamber of Bad
Humor, which serves the purpose of
the corner.
You had better go into the Krod-
Niagara, my child, observes the Hindoo
mother, when little Toru is disturbed
in mind, ''and there remain until you
feel as a blessed Hindoo child ought to
feel.
This apartment serves a still more
important use in the family. 1t some
times happens in those far-off heather
lands, strange as it may seem to us in
n land where every one is always anna
BILE and good-tempered, hat the mother
herself is not in the best humor; some
times the father is positively cross;
sometimes n mother-in-law is less anna
bic than usual, and occasionally a
grandparent does not enjoy the festive
morn when the cruel is lumpy.
In such cases the afflicted person
goes, of his own accord, into the Krod-
Niagara, and stays there until he feels
himself in benign accord with all man
kind, and in particularly good humor
with his own family.

The COW aud Mer nIIIk.


The fact is not sufficiently appre
ciated, that the COW, of all animals,
should have good and pure food Tine
flavors and germs taken in the food pass
OF, to n great extent, in the milk.
Often has 1t been known of a COW eat
ing poisonous substances without injury
to herself; but her milk was impreg-
mated with the poison or disease germs,
and the human consumers were injured.
Milk is much moro sensitive in recoiy-
ing aud tenacious in holding impurities
than water. and it seems that the i'm
p%urities of the animals system are un
loaded into the tactical ducts and pass
off into the milk pail to impregnate the
system of the consumer, whether they
were in the first place imbibed in tho
drink, deyoured in the food or breathed
into the system from impure air, odors
or surroundings. For these reasons
great care should always be taken to i'm
sure that the milch COW is not subjected
to surroundings, food or drink which
will fill her system with impurities.

l-hAAHA Aapoi-l
To the question, What is Lloydsf'
tho answer must be; The great marine
Insurer of the world. And yet it is not
q joint-stock company, nor a Limited"
assoc&tion, nor are its members bound
together by any mutual interest. 1t is
A perfectly anomalous institution, and
yet the greatest of the kind the world
ever saw. The rooms of Lloyd's are
the rendezvous of the most eminent
merchants, ship-owners, underwriters,
insurance brokers and bankers. The
Merchants room is ..superintended by a
shipmaster, who speaks a dozen Ian
guages or more, and welcomes business
men from every nation. The Cap
tains' room is a coffee-room where ship
owners and sea-captains meet together,
transact business and discuss the news.
But 1t is the Subscribers that
makes Lloyd's the attraction it is. The
9, 100 underwriters and subscribers who
pay their annual 4 guineas here, and
their 25 pounds sterling initiation fee,
represent nearly the whole commercial
wealth Of England. Lloyd's itself does
not insure; it is only the members of
Lloyd's. You wish to insure 10, 900
pounds sterling on a venture to the Der
mudas. Your broker goes to Lloyd's
and proposes, naming ship and cargo.
An underwater turns to the register,
ascertains how the vessel is rated,
speaks to two or three others, and then
says to the broker, Eyes, we will do it
at one-eighth of one" who signsl'
asks the broker. "Magnay, Richardson,
Coleman, Thomson and myself. That
will do, replies the broker, who, while
the clerk makes out the policy, proposes
again and again for other ventures.
is this considered perfectly safel" does
the reader ask. Perfectly. The broker
knows his men. Besides, to fail to
meet a loss forfeits for ever all right to
do business ut Lloyd's.

TIE statements from Republican organs

The statements from Republican organs
and politicians that ex-union soldiers are
being ignored by the present administra-
ton in the distribution of government
Offices are erroneous. The union veterans
have been duly recognized by Mr.. Cleve-
land, and only recently such appointments
as the following have been made: Col.
Robert McKinstry has been appointed
pension agent at Detroit, Mich. he was a
private soldier during the war; Gen. Don
Carlos Buell., pension agent at Louisville,
KY, he organized and for a long time COM
manded the army of the Ohio; Gen.
Joseph j. Bartlett, assistant commits
sioner of pensions; Bartlett entered the
union army as n private and came out at
the close of the war as a major general.
THE LEADER believes that before the
record is closed it will be shown that ex-
union soldiers who are consistent mem
beers of the party in power, will have no
cause fer complaint on the ground that
their comrades have been ignored by
President Cleveland's administration.

A PERSONAL friend of Senator John A,
Logan says that Mr.. Logan feels worse,
if possible, over the result of the recent
elections in New York and Virginia than
he did when he was defeated himself on
the Blaine ticket. 1t was Logan's idea
that in the campaign Of 1854, with some
Stalwart Republican like himself at the
head of the ticket, and the old rebellion
ISSUE brought prominently to the front,
success would have been reasonably Ger
tain. He thought this could be demon
stnted in the recent elections, and went
into the canvas to do it. The bloody
shirt issue was Logans strong point. To
win with it against a square, old fashioned
Democrat would be to open the way for
Logan in 1858.
lie is now forced to give that idea up
and to acknowledge the hopelessness of
such a probability. For the first time in
his life Gen. Logan fully realizes that the
war issue is played out, and that his party
must re%organize on a stronger and more
modern basis before it can hope for ma
tional success. With this conclusion he
will personally retire to the background,
so far AS national candidacy is concerned,
and will not allow his name to be used at
another national convention.

In is a comfort to learn that another
hYgienist has been discovered who does not
inveigh against the folly of breathing
night air. OF recent years the prediu-
dice against this habit has been steadily
growing until people who honesty loved
themselves and their kind actually shiv-
cred in mortal terror whenever nightfall
zane. Every i'll almost that human flesh
is heir to came from breathing dreadful
night air. When people wandered about
for hours in wet garments by day and
were sick the following morning, ii wasn't
the wet garments that made them i'll, not
by any means. II was the night air which
came in from Just a twelve inch opening
at the window, and when the next night
came the window was usually closed with
a bang.
The new recruit is n German. He does
not announce by what means he has reach.
ed his present conclusion, but that is Of
little consequence. Perhaps in an idle
momen it occurred to him, as it has to at
least a half dozen others, that night air is
the only kind of air men and women can
breathe at night, and that it is likely to
have a monopoly in that line until nights
have been abolished or day air is bottled
up or slowed away in such manner as to
be usable when daylight dies. Perhaps,
also. he has found that when beautifully
and scnsibly clad in climates free from
maluinl influences, he himself can breathe
night air without dying an instantaneous
dea.h, But this is a reckless presump-
ton that the night air alarmists would
harhly frown down.

A PARAGRAPH is going the rounds OF
tae press to the effect that "a Spaniard
living in New York City had been under
the impression that the name of Farragut
pointed to a Spanish ancestry for the
famous American sea fighter, and chanc-
ing to meet a member of the admiral
family at the club a week or two ago, he
found that he wa right" If the Span
lard had looked in the volume entitled
1.-THE Life and Letters of David Glasgow

he would have found that George Far

scended from the renowned Don Pedro

English illustrated Magazine
To %earthenware the blue clay brings
toughness and solidity, flint gives white
ness, kaolin whiteness and %porousness,
and cornish stone acts as a sort OF lux
binding all together. These materials
being weig he'd and measured and placed
together with a large quantity
oil water in huge watts fitted with
an agitator called a ''blunger,' by
which they are thoroughly stirred up
and mixed together. AS my courteous
guide raises the lid of one of these
''blunging' machines. | descry, as it
were, the interior of a vast churn filed
with a strong white sea, ms if the ellis
had got mixed with the tide in the nan
ner depicted by some painters of seas
scapes.
This beautifully white fluid runs off
when its parts are Judged to be suifi-
GENTLY mixed, into troughs, and is
strained through sioves of lawn, vary
ing in fineness from twenty-five to
thirty-two threads to the inch. 1t is
next tested by weight. a certain measure
being required to weigh a certain mum
Der of ounces. The slip now reposes
for a while in quaint receptacles shaped
like the Noahs ark given to children.
To get rid of the superhuous dampness
OF The compound slip" it is forced by
means of pumps into bags of strong
cloth. 1t is then pressed, and some
times cut up and pressed again, being
then ready for the thrower. This is
hardly the place in which to descant
upon the potter wheel as used by the
egyptians Suffice it to note that the
man distinction between the modern
and the ancient potter is that the latter
turned his wheel with his foot while his
descendant is supplied with motive
power by steam.
When this sort of sausage machine
Just described has done its work and the
slip has been pressed the material is of
the consistence of still dough. In this
condition it comes into the hands of the
potter, but not directly. Before it
reaches him it is weighed out in Jumps
and handed to him by the girl who acts
as his assistant. When the lump of clay
is finally handed 10 the potter he deals
With it in a wonderful manner Placed
on the horizontal wheel revolving
before him the clay is made to per-
form the most extraordinary evolution.
1t spreads out, leaving a hollow center,
and grows like a mushroom under his
skillful hand. 1t becomes anything he
likes. 1t may be a bowl, a cup, or
take any other shape. AS the clay re-
wolves rapidly the workman has only to
change the position of his hands to pro-
duce any shape he may wish.
