The law of 2Sth February 1874 contains
two IS, OF which : = is conform with the
text Of the present draft Of ordinance

thereto referring shall not i'll future be any

Indictment of any kind such terms OF pay
ment, whether of interest or of capital, as
the parties shall agree on.
/; is not considered necessary to extend
this s also to be valid in the Danish west
India Islands, seeing that the terms OF pay
ment enacted in Code Chr. V. DIAL, aud
subsequently modified through custom and
practice, cannot be sad ever to have been
valid in these islands, where the parties in
cases of Indictment have been allowed to
agree at their pleasure OH any terms OF
payment, of interest or of capital, that
suited them. On the other hand, Code
Chr. v. 5-14.3 has always been considered
as positively valid here for which reason
Government has thought that s 2 OF the

How Steel II Made.

There are two methods of making
steel from iron. 1.-THE material work
ell upon il east or pig iron, an excess
of carbon must be taken from it if it
is wrought or mallea BILE iron, carbon
must be added to it. The second, or
carburation method, is used for the
manufacture Of steel of the first quail
ty. Two chests of fire brick or stone
are fixed in dOme-shaped furnace so
that the flames from the hearth below
can play effectually around them. A
layer of charcoal or of SCOT is placed on
the bottom of each chest, and upon
this are laid the bars of wrought iron.
These are generally about three inches
broad and tbree-quarters of an inch
thick and should be OF iron of the
best quality. They are arranged regu-
larry little distance apart, and the in
terstices between are filled up with char
coal, with which the bars themselves
are covered about an inch.
Similar layers of bars are laid ON
these, each covered with charcoal, I'M
til the chests are filled. They are then
covered in to depth of six inches with
a luting of damp clay or sand. One of
the bars is allowed to project from the
end Of the chest, which may by exami-
nation from time to time give indica-
tions of the progress of the operation.
The furnace heat around the chest il
now raised to l ,l06 F-the point found
TO be necessary to effect the carbura-
tion-and is maintained at this point
for eight or ten days,or even longer, the
period depending on the thickness of
the iron and the degree of hardness de-
desired in the steel.
At the end of the time the fire is
gradually put out, and the bars allow
ed to cool by degrees, which takes some
ten days more. The iron is now trans.
formed into steel, but il is not of uni.
form texture. 1t is made hOmoge-
neous by breaking it up into small
pieces, fusing it in fire clay crucible
and then casting it in mOlds. This
yields the best and hardest steel known,
but as it Is very brittle when brought
to red heat, very great care is need
ed in manufacturing 1t.

General satisfaction is expressed in
President Cleveland's appointment of
George V. n. Lothrop, of Michigan, as
Minister to Russia. He Is a well equip
ped lawyer, capable and polished
gentleman, and did not seek the honor
conferred upon him, for which his ems
inent fitness singled him out. The
salary of his appointment is Sl7 800
year, than which no larger compensa
ton is paid TO any United States Minis
ter, His rank as Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary is also the
highest.
He is native of Connecticut, and is
somewhat above sixty years of age.
After scund preparatory education he
became a student of Brown University,
where he was graduated i'm 1888. He
then entered Harvard Law School.
After graduating in his professional
studies. he opened an office at Detroit,
Michigan, for the practice of his pro-
as leading citizen. He was success
fuI in building up good practice, and
leaves for st. Petersburg followed by
the regrets of his fellow citizens of
Detroit.
In 1S4S he became Attorney General
of Michigan. He was delegate TO the
National Convention held at Charles
ton, i'm 1860. When the Democratic
party split in that year, he stood by
Douglas, and was Union man during
the struggle for its maintenance. Three
times a candidate for the United States
Senator from Michigan, he was unsuc-
cessful each time. Mr.. Lothrop has at
no time been conspicuous in political
matters, though staunch Democrat
always.

The Language Of Eyes.


1t is said that very quiet eyes, which
impress and embarrass one with their
repose, signify not only self-eommand,
but also much eomplacency and self
conceit.
Restless eyes that cannot look one
steadily in the face denote a deceitful,
designing mind.
Eyes in which the white has yell
lowish tInge and is streaked with red
dish veins prove much of strong pas
sion and hasty temper.
Very blue eyes bespeak a mind iu-
clined to eoquetry.
Gray eyes signify dignity, intelli-
gence and excellent reasoning faculties.
Greenish eyes, falsehood and fond
ness for scandal. A malicious mind is
often indicated by greenish eyes.
Black eyes show passionate, lively
temperament, and Oftentimes a most
deceltful disposition.
Brown eyes are generally tender and
true. indicating kind and happy dis
position.

How he Won Her.

A young editor. bright, poor and
punsterious, says the Merchant TraVe
Ter, had won the affections ola rich
mans daughter, and they fixed day
for him to call on the father, and on that
day he was promptly in the old gentle
mans Office.
"Good morning, SIR he said, conf
dent, but ready to run. 81 have called
on you on matter Of"
ave don't want any advertising to-
day." interrupted the old gentleman,
looking up over his glasses.
"I'm not on that business,sir came
to ask you for your daughter"
"What do you want with her ?"
"Marry her"
"What for?"
"For better or worse"
"What does the girl say?"
'She says she will be my wife"
"Ugh! You haven't got cent IN the
world, have you %'
Eyes sir. She gave assent and if you
will do the same, that will make two
and we can buy a postage stamp and
write to you for the balance of our sal
ary."
1t was wretched attempt, but he
got the girl.

There seems to be no good reason
why the genera. practice of selling eggs
by the dozen should not be superseded
by the more rational one of selling
them by weight. There is from 20 to
80 per cent. difference in the weight of
eggs, yet the custom is almost univer-
sal in the eastern markets of selling
them by the dozen at a uniform price.
Even ducks eggs, which are much
larger and regarded by some as richer,
bring no more than the smallest hens
eggs OF not half the weight. In Cali
fornia, eggs, fruits and many other ar
ticles that are here sold by the dozen,
the bunch, or by measure, are sold by
weight. The practice is good one,
and works beneficially for all parties.
especially for the producer. 1t operates
as premium upon the cultivation of
the most productive varieties OF fruits,
vegetables and farm stock. The farmer
who is painstaking with his poultry
and gets the largest weight in eggs has
a fair reward for his skill and industry.
The present custom is a premium to
light weight and good layers. We need
a change in the interest of fair dealings
in trade, and if necessary it should be
enforced by legislation. II the legisla-
ture is competent to fix the weight of a
bushel of corn or potatoes, it can easily
regulate the weight of a dozen of eggs
and thus promote exact justice between
buyer and seller.

An Automatic Post .OfRce.

In the greater number of railway sta
tons in England there is small box
on legs, painted crimson, which may
be called an automatic post-office. IL is
divided in two compartments. On the
top are apertures admitting penny
one being for postal cards and the 9TH
er for envelopes. You drop a penny,
through the slot and open a little
drawer beneath. and presto, you find a
postal card. Drop two pennies in the
right hand slot, open corresponding
drawer, and you find stamped envel-
lope containing dainty sheet of note
paper. These little conveniences are
the property of a private company.
The profit is very small, and only on
the envelope and sheet of note paper.
You can't get the best of it by drop
ping in a bad penny, as if not full
weight it refuses to deliver and keeps
your short coin. confiscating that as
punishment for attempt to cheat. 1t
has a golden rule that works only one
way.

How sympathy Depends on Appear

/ have come to the conclusion, says
a well.known writer, that human
sympathy, like human respect, goes
entirely on appearances. A man may
be suffering agony from some hidden
trouble of the brain or the body, but he
will not get half as much sympathy as
the man whose eyes are watery and
whose nose is inflamed from a cold i'm
the head. One fellow will have head
ache that IL splitting that portion of
his anatomy open, but the fellow with
the hollow cough will divert every
atom of human feeling in the vicinity.
l don't know anything more txasper-
ating than to have some one tell you
how well you are looking when you are
dying Of indigestion. It's like watch
ing fellow crack nuts with his teeth
when you've got the toothachs. 1t is
much more bearable to be told you look
sick when you are well, than to be con-
graduated upon your healthy appear
ance when you are sick. The average
human being will not believe man is
starving unless he can see his ribs. A
man never gets much sympathy for a
broken leg until it is all done up in
splints. A carbuncle on the back of
fellows neck will inspire more pity
than hidden spinal complaint. A
man may travel around with an
aneurism of the aOrta and the fellow
who has the shrewdness to go to bed
with a sick headache will get all the
jellies and stuff his lady friends can
send him. This is queer world.

About the Tariff.
THE Nation.1

IL IL a common thing for free-traders
to denounce the whole body of tariff
law As mass of crudities and absurdi-
ties, flung together without plan or
reason. But In fact there is not line
Of it that does not show the most careful
thought and the most experienced
judgment. Every article that is
enumerated Is dealt in 10y somebody,
and it is for the pecuniary interest of
that somebody that the duty upon that
article should be most judiciously reg
ulated. To the ordinary citizen it may
seem but an innocent absurdity that
WOODEN goods should pay fifty cents a
pound and thirty-five per cent. al raj
Orem; but to the blanket and flannel
maker there is m absuriity about il.
IL means to him protective duty of
about one hundred per cent. upon hls
manufactures, and entire relief from
the competition of the hated foreigner.
BY the act of 1888, the duty upon cheap
cotton goods was reduced from five
cents to two and one-half cents per
yard. 1t would be altogether too SIM
pie, however, to suppose that the Tariff
Commission had any idea of reducing
the burdens of the poor. PrOtectIonists
are to be feared Uei dond yterentes. The
truth is, that such goods can be made
here as cheaply as anywhere. and the
lower duty is just as prohibitive a. the
