IRON CRYSTALS.
Good Steel Presenting the Appearance Of
Groups of Beautiful Crystals.

An exchange says that the microscop-
ic determination of the different quail
ties of iron and steel is now regarded as
one of the most valuable aids in metal
lurgical industries. Thus the crystals n
iron are double pyramids in which the
proportion of the axes to the bases sva-
ries with the quantity of the iron; the
smallness of the crystals and the height
of the pyramids composing each ele-
ment are in proportion to the quality
and density of the metal, which are seen
in the fineness of the surface; and as the
proportion of the carbon diminishes in
the steel, the pyramids have so much
the less height. In pig iron and the
lower qualities of hard steel the crystals
approach the more closely the cubic
form. Forged iron has its pyramids
flattened and reduced to supcrposed
parallel leaves, whose structure consti-
tutes what is called the nerve of the
steel; and the best quality of steel has
all its crystals disposed in parallel lines,
each crystal filling in the interstices be-
tween the angles of those adjoining,
these crystals having their axes in the
direction of the percussion they undergo
during the working. Practically, good
steel has the appearance, microscope
cally, of large groups of beautiful crys-
tals.-BrOOklu1 EdQle.

The Presidency of the Senate.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December a.
The absence of so many congressman,
who have gone to indianapolis to attend
Mr.. Hendricks funeral, causes lull in
the discussion about the selection OF a
President of the Senate. The Demo.
cratic Senators will meet in caucus on
Saturday night, when it is supposed
they will decide to nominate Sem
ator Harris, of Tennessee, for Presi-
dent pro tenn. The Republican
Senators are to meet Friday evening, but
who will be their choice is as much
matter of doubt as ever, although the i'm
preston seems to be growing that the
outcome will be the selection of Senator
Edmunds for President pro TEN.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, expresses
the opinion that Senator Logan could be
chosen the President of the Senate be-
fore he was sworn in and the Ferry
precedent in 1877, is taken for the
ground that he could be sworn in before
an election and then chosen. 1t is
said that the following Senators
have already signifed their intention of
voting for Logan: Allison and Wilson,
of Iowa; Cullom, of Illinois; Sawyer, of
Wisconsin; Conger, of Michigan; Plumb,
of Kansas, and Van Wyck, of Nebraska.

The Draft Horses of France.

While some people in America call
all horses imported from France Nor
mans, ii is a fact that there is no breed
in France called by that name by the
French people; the name, Norman,
therefore, is purely American. The
principal breeds of France are known
as Percherons and Boullanais. The
Percherons are the most highly priced of
all French races, and all departments
of France go to the Perche for stations
to improve their local breeds. The
Percheron stud book of France, pub
lished under the authority of the French
Government, is the only stud book of
draft horses that is or eUer has been pub
lished in France, and now contains the
pedigrees of about 5000 animals. But
some importers are offering certificates
from France of Norman draft horses
that may mislead people who do not
understand the French language into
believing these records of origin. Not
one of them issued contains pedigree.
They are furnished at the request of
American buyers 10y the secretary of
one of the French Agricultural socie-
ties, who says there is no intention of
publishing them in stud book form, as
they have no pedigrees and are of no
value whatever. 1t is a well known
fact that what man gives for horse
over from $500 to SS00-the price of a
good grade-is paid for purity of blood;
and where the seller is not able to give
the recorded pedigree of the animal
sold as evidence of additional value, he
has no right to ask it. With these facts
before him, no intelligent man will buy
horse imported from France unless
he is recorded with his pedigree in full
in the Percheron Stud Book of France.

Almost Incomprehensibie.
We have all met the man who pridel
himself on his candor; and II there 10
any human being whom it is perfectly
proper to loathe and abhor it is the de-
mon who is constantly saying that he is
candid and always says as he thinks. As
. general thing he does not know how
to think, but he imagines he does, and
proceeds at once to hold the waterproof of
his insane vsporings over your head and
sprinkle you, until you feel like patch
Of noxious weeds. 1t is curious fact
that the wild animal known as the can
did man is never able to see your good
qualities, but he snaps at your bad ones
like hungry trout at fly. He looks
YOU all over with his critical microscope,
and if there is something good in your
life does he take it gently into his hands,
hold it up to the sunshine, turn it round
to get better view, and then put it
back in its place with the remark:
THAT'S worth having, and I'm glad you
have it; try and get some more of the
same kindp" Never! We say it very
emphatically. Never! He is not candid
in that way. But let him get glimpse
of fib, and he will chase it as a weasel
does rat, and when he has caught it he
will hold it up with an air Of triumph,
as though he had no other business in
life than to hunt for such things, and
then deliver forty-minute discourse on
the ultimate destination of people who
tell fibs-it is called sheol in the revised
yersion-and end by saying with an air
of depreciation: I'm candid, and
always say what l think" In nine
cases out Of ten candor is only another
name for unspeakable meanness and
smallness of oul, and in ninety-nine
cases out of hundred it ought to be
vigorously suppressed.-M W. Christian

Death of Noted Ex-Confederate.

BALTIMORE, Nd, December John
Perkins, of Louisiana, age sixty-six, a
noted ex-Confederate died at the Albion
Hotel last night. He was born in Natchez,
Miss, and was graduated from Yale Col
lege in the same class with William NJ
Evarts. He was also a law graduate of
Harvard. Before the war he represented
his district in Louisiana in Congress for
several terms. When the war broke out
he cast his fortunes with the South, and
represented his State in the Confederate
Congress. Upon the close of the war, he
went to Mexico and was with Emperor
Macmillan, upon the death of whom he
went to Europe and travelled extensively.
A price was set upon his head
by the United States Govern
ment. He returned to this
country in 1878. His widow is daugh-
ter of the late Judge May, of Petersburg,
Va. 1t is related of Mr.. Perkins that in
the war, while his plantation was in the
possession of Federal troops, he with
his own hand set fire to his own
home, and also to 10000 bales of cotton
rather than see them fall into the hands
of the enemy

WINTER IN THE NORTH.
What Cold Weather in Ianitoba Means,
According to a Woman's Experience.

What Cold Weather in Manitoba Means,
According to Woman's Experience.
And this brings me to speak about
my experience of the climate of Mani
toba. The variations of temperature
are very great. | have seen the ther-
mometer stand at 125 . inside tent
in summer, and at IS below zero, or
900 below freezing point, outside the
house in winter. Such Arctic cold
would be uncomfortable if the air were
not so wonderfully dry and clear-and
often very still-that it does not seem
half as cold as it really is. Then the
changes Of weather are not generally
very sudden: the heat and cold are very
regular, and in mid-seasons the ther-
mometer does not tluctuate much.
Perhaps few homcly details may
best serve to illustrate what winter in
Manitoba means. The snow outside
our house is from six to ten feet deep
from November to April. Moccasns,
made by Indians of moose-skin, are
used instead of shoes to cover the feet.
which are first cased in several pairs of
stockings.
We were forced to melt snow for all
the water we used last winter. The
cold is so intense that when melted snow
water is poured from the boiler into a
pail, and taken at once across to the
stable, the ice on it frequently has to be
broken with stick before the cattle can
drink. 1t is rather a common sight to
see people partly frozen. The part
affected turns as white as marble, and
loses all feeling. Unless YOU see YOUR
self in glass, or are told Of it, YOU are
not conscious of being frozen. In this
plight it is best not to 90 near a fire, as
sudden thawing is very painful. People
generally try friction, rubbing them
selves with snow, or, better still, par
aiffne oil. Occasionally. when one is
frozen and far from help the part
frozen, if an extremity, will snap off:
Last year man living about thirty
miles from us was told that his ear was
frozen; he put up his hand to feel, and
the ear dropped off in his hand. Limbs
sometimes have to be amputated from
severe frost bites. My kittens ears
froze and broke OFF last winter. and a
neighbours pony lost ears in the same
way.
Twas surprised when first found the
mustard freeze in my mustard-p pot,
which stood a foot from the kitchen
stoyepipe and two feet above the stove,
where there was blazing fire all day
and every day through the winter. Yet
the mustard froze between every meal.
Bread froze if left for half an hour in a
room without Il fire.
Such stories must sound almost in
credible except to those who, like my
self, have witnessed the facts, though,
of course, only in the most severe
weather.
Winter is, of course, not equally
severe throughout. Part of my descrp-
ton applies only to its colder half But
to a woman the most trying part of
winter in Manitoba is not its severity
for you live in Il warm house-but its
length. Snow lay on the ground last
season for six months and q half, and
the great lakes were frozen for the same
period. Cor. PhjiadeiDhi0 Press.

THE FIRST THREE PRESIDENTS
Who Married Widows and why They Came
to DO So,

to DO So.
1t is curious fact that the first three
Presidents married widows. The stories
Of their courtships abound in romance.
Dolly MadiSon's parents were Virginia
Quakers. who freed their slaves and
went to Philadelphia to live. Here at
nineteen, Dolly. demure Quakcrcss,
married John Todd, Quaker lawyer,
who died when she was twenty-three,
and left her a pretty widow. In less
than year she married again, and this
time Mr.. Madison, who was u mem
Der of Congress. She was thirty-seven
years Old when her husband became
President.
Jefferson's wife had been widow
four years when she married him. and
she was only thirty-seyen years old at
that time. She was ten years Jefferson $
WIFE and in that period had had six
children by him before she died in 1892
1t is said that she was much courted,
and two of Jeiferson's rivals met on her
doorstep Il day or two before the latter $
engagement. They heard sounds of
music within, and soon found that JEFF
ferson was singing a love song to the
young widow while she played an ac-
compartment on the harp. They con-
cluded not to press their suit, and left
their love untold.
George Washington was Colonel on
his way to Williamsburg, the old capt
tai Of Virginia, when he was stopped
by an old planter friend and asked to
stay overnight. He replied his bust
ness was urgent, and a stoppage of any
kind was impossible. His friend then
cited the virtues and beauties of beau
tiful widow of twenty-siX years who was
staying with him, in such glowing terms
that Colonel Washington decided to
take dinner and see the paragon. He
was SO delighted that he staid all night,
and on the way back became engaged
to her. This was Madam Gusts, whose
maiden name was Martha Dandridge.-
