Starting a Rev Sect.

WILLnIANTIC, Conn, April O.
Carl J. Hanson, Scandinavian law
student at Stafford Springs, with a
band of more aged zealots of that
place at his back, is organizing a form
Of lrreligion there known as the Dels-
terian Church. There are already
twenty-five members. These De,ste-
rams are about to organize a Poll
mon" or society, to be presided over
by denzee, in the person of young
Hanson. The creed of this novel
church declares a belief In an intelli-
gent over-ruling power, future life for
everybody, where happiness will de-
pend on the state of conscience, and
will be inversely proportionate to the
amount of wrong committed on earth
and that wrong can be determined
only by the exercise OF our reason.
And then 1t enumerates nine wrongs
which iuclude-to murder, steal, give
anything needless discomfort, etc.
The organization rejects the bible, but
retains God, whom it calls 'Pote. y
Prayer is regarded as needless, and
Sunday restis recommended for health
Members must wear metal badges ot
the rising sun. Liquo,, tobacco and
gambling are forbidden.

The Dude in COrSets.

"Once in WHILE" says a New York
dealer, "some young simpleton or old
goose comes in for corset to straight
en- him up. The tailors don't furnish
them. l always sell them a corset and
make them pay for their folly too. They
never grumble. Vain men are worse
than vain women; they will pay any
price to make themselves the least bit
better-looking. They'll strut up and
down before the glass for an hour after
they have got their corset, Of course
it makes me laugh, and the girls In
the shop almost die laughing, but
dude has no sense of humor, so they
don't mind it. But l am happy to say
that man looking for corset is a
rare sight. The tailors, l believe,
manage to make them up without.
The fact is the tallors understand the
art of making up" much better than
the dressmakers. They originated
most of the Improvements which the
dressmakers have adopted.

JONAH AND THE FISH.

A long time ago there lived a man
by the name of Jonah. He was a man
of his OWN mind and wouldn't do as he
was told, so one day be fell into the
water and big fish swallowed him.
Times are now changed and since, men
have been swallowing the fish and in
order that, every man in the county
should have fish to swallow, HaIlaaay
Bros, have just got nearly whole car
load from the sea and great
lakes with which to feed the hungry, and
these must be sold, for they have swal-
lowed pile of money to get them and
must be brought to shore right away
and made to spue it out aealn.

How to Tell the Truck.

The perfection of American manu-
factures is theme of just praise with
popular and patriotic writers. In such
fabrics, it appears that eleomarganne
must now be included. for the article
is now so well conducted that nine
persons in ten can not detect it when
compared with a good article of gen.
uine butter. 1t seems. however, there
is an unfailing test by which the COM
pounded butter may be detected.
Drop lump OF salt-packed butter and
similar lump Of the inc, each as
large as an egg, in tin cup, and melt
both over a fire. Then thrust pieces
of lamp wick in each cup of grease,
and light them. Both burn readily.
From the real butter will arise a faint
and pleasant smoke, but from the i'm
imitation article will be emitted stencil
of burning rancid grease.-COmmsr-

The eldest Locomotive Engineer

Julius D. Petsch, the Oldest locomo-
tive engineer in the the country, died
last month in Charleston, S. c, the
city OF his birth. He ran the first loco
motive ever built in this country and
the second ever in use on an Amerl-
can railway. This locomotive was
built at the West Point Foundry works
III New York in 1850, and was called
The Best Friend of Charleston" hav-
ing been built for use on the South
Carolina Railway. then in process of
construction. 1t arrived in Charles
ton on October 20, 1890, and was
placed on the road on November ?,
1889. The second engine constructed
in this country was built by the West
Point works for the same road, which
was begun in 1890, and was opened
for traffic in 1888, for Its whole length,
I85 miles. At that time it was the
longest continuous line of railway in
the world.
Mr.. Petsch, as already stated, was
the engineer of the BEST Friend OF
Charleston He succeeded in invent
ing a number of improvements to it,
which, had they been patented, would
have probably yielded him a handsome
fortune. The most important of these
Improvements was the shrinking OF
wrought iron tires on iron wheels and
the placing of what are known as "the
outside connections" on a locomotive
After serving as engineer for some
time, he was promoted to the office o.
superintendent of the South Carolina
Railway during the presidency of Mr..
H. W. Connor.
During the Seminole war Mr.. Petsct
was employed as an engineer in Flo
rlda. As a master machinest, Mr.
Petsch was known all over the State
He superlntended the building of New
Bridge over the Ashley River, the
placing of the machinery in the Con
federate gunboat Chicora during the
late war, and the erection of the ma
chlnery in the cotton mill at Granite.

Our -Forlgn Nails.
Demorest's Monthly.

Congress is determined to crush out
our foreign commerce. For years
American steamships were not allowed
a clearance unless they carried the
foreign mails at a price that did not
more than pay the bringing il from the
post-office to the dock. This lniqui-
tious law was repealed. but Congress
refused to make an appropriation for
carrying the foreign mails. Great
Britain last year gave her steamship
lines the gross receipts from foreign
postage and $1,5oo. 900 in addition.
France gave in the same year, $4.soo.
900 for carrying foreign mails, while
the United States paid only what it
received for letter postage, $325 900,
Germany pays great sums out of her
national treasury to her ships to all
parts of the globe. We protect man
ufactures in this country by high tariff
duties, but agriculture must look out for
itself, while foreign commerce is dis
couraged; hence 1t follows that of the
$15o,ooo,ooo we pay annually for
sending our agricultural products
abroad only IS per cent. is paid to
American vessels. The vast profit Of
carrying the trade OF this country goes
into the pockets of English, French
and German merchants. Trade and
travel, it is well said, follow mail routes
as naturally as water flows down hill,
and many foreign mail route estab-
lished by Great Britain and maintained
at loss to the national treasury, has
finally resulted in bringing to her COM
merce of great value. The time will
come when we shall tire OF this short
sighted folly and will be as anxious for
a merchant marine rs we are now OBJ
livious to its value to the country.

Queer Things In Pawn.

A well dressed man entered a mar
ket street pawn shop and quietly put
ting his hand iii his mouth took out
full set of upper teeth, bonnd together
with plate ct pure gold. After he
had rubbed them on his handkerchief
he handed: them shyly to the clerk,
and said in a stage whisper:
Five dollars"
The clerk handed the man the mon
ey and the ticket and he slipped quiet
ly out of the door.
That mans been here three times
to-day" said the clerk. The first
time he left watch and chain. The
second time he lett his diamond stud
and ring. I've advanced him money
on his false teeth before, He's a
poker player. He'll be back for the
teeth and the other things Monday or
Tuesday.
"Do you usually loan money on
falseteeth z" was asked.
o'No, not often. Some pawnbrokers
do. A couple of medical students
used to come here who got hard up
about once a month. Once they had
pawned all their spare clothing and all
their jewelIy and books and instru-
ments. a couple of nights after they
came here with long bundle wrap
ped in a gossamer coat. They told
me they wanted $40 very badly.
