Senator Nelson W. Aldrich delivered an
address Tuesday before the Pawtucket Bust

the recent statement Of Joseph Chamber

screws. The last advance OF duties was
made In June, 1854. He was told by stock
holder Of the American Screw Company
that for the past twelve years the dividends
have not averaged more than 0per cent,
and that for tho past six months they have
paid no dividend, but lost money. Ameri-
can competition had brought down the
price OF screws 10 as cheap price az eau

Prof. Perry, he said the average rate had
been 33 per cent, and even a. low as 81 per

rather low than high.

Beauty has always won the favor Of
the British peers. The eldest son, or the
man in possession, can afford to please
his taste. and doubtless the handsome
looks of many of the nobility are due to
the beautiful women who have recruited
its ranks so largely. The illegitimate
children of sovereigns have been emo
bled down to the last reign, and in the
present day young peers and heirs have
sought mates in half a score of instances
among those whose presence sullies any
society they enter.
The blue blood does not seem to curdle
at the contact, for the grandest of Eng
lish peers welcome to their ancestral
homes the brewers and bankers, the
tailors and tobacconists. who, as o as
they become noble, look down as super
ciliously on plebeians as any descendants
of peer or paramour. A stroke of the
wand of Cinderella's godmother turnes
vermin into decorated lackeys fit to go
to court; and the flunkeys did not forget
their rat hole more readily than these
transformed %aristocrats their early OBJ
security. Blood will tell; and their blood
is noble-now.-Adam Baleau's Letter.

The following is from n letter written
by IL. q. Spafford in Jerusalem, under
date of April 10, to Mr.. Chandler Of Chi
cago: %
Palestine has now a very different APP
pearance from the one worn when you
were here. l have never seen the coun-
try looking so beautifully. The rains
have been abundant (the rainfall about
thirty inches up to the present time). and
the crops are all in most promising con
dition. The wild flowers, too, surpass,
this year. anything we have seen before
in variety and beauty. In a two hours
walk yesterday afternoon, through fields
north of the city, l gathered a bouquet of
cyclamen, r~anunculus, blood;drops, fax,
wild-pea, and clover blooms, etc, ETC.,
which was simply glorious. never saw
n more beautiful collection of flowers in
my life. 1t would seem that a sight of
it, without other proofs, would be sufii-
cient to suggest to one whether the curse
which had so long lain upon this land
had not begun to pass away, and whether
the set time to favor Zion had not
com Inter Ocean.

A'Puthtion nv ~
l was told that many of the frontiers
men who have killed a number of men
are more sinned against han SHINING"
1t was explained in this way:
"A fight out here, in past days par
ticularly, means a fight with pistols. A
man gets in a brawl, pistols are drawn
and he kills some one. If this is done
fairly, no one thinks much of it. Then
suppose this man is unlucky enough to
get into another difficulty and again kills
a man. From'that time he commences
to he known and talked about, and be-
comes in constant danger of an attack
and still more from a certain class OF
'rustleis' who are DESTROYS of earning a
reputation as a 'man-killer' for them
selves by shooting somebody who bears
the reputation of being one, just as east
ern pugilists are constantly trying to
knock out John l.. Sullivan. The knowl-
edge of this keeps the man always on the
alert; he seldom drinks to excess, is al
ways prepared to defend himself, and lie
constantly studies how to shoot accur-
ately, and above all, quickly. Conse-
quently, any one who does tackle him is
pretty certain to get the worst of it. In
this way, n man without desiring it in
the least, may be actually forced into
killing a number of others. Montana

Holidays are good in themselves, even
if there we're nothing great or glorious to
celebrate as is pre-eminently the case
with the Fourth of July, which COM
memorates the most important and far
reaching event in all history Far beyond
ANYTHING its actors designed or dreamed
of, the influence of the declaration has
spread abroad and re acted upon the old
world, until nearly all political progress
hitherto attained can be traced indirectly
to the same beginning, Yet the men Of
those days knew they had done a deed
worthy of lasting renown. Even before
the instrument was finally promulgated,
John Adams wrote to his wife, II am
apt to think it will be celebrated by sue
ceeding generations as the great anniver-
sary festival. 1t ought to be commem-
grated with pomp and parade; with shows,
games, sports, guns, bells, bonires and
Examinations from one end of this conti-
nent to the other, from this time forward
for evermorc. " The old patriot was some
thing of a prophet, for throughout a
grander expanse of country han he could
have believed it possible the thirteen
states would become, the day is generally
celebrated. This year our W city OF
Cheyenne, the foremost and most progress
sive community in n progressive territory
seems strangely slow in making a start.
Nearly every other place of Importance in
Wyoming has already taken steps toward
organization and preparation. Such
steps are necessary in order to insure sue
cess, and the longer beforehand they are
taken, the more complete the arrange
ments and the more satisfactory the cele-
bration. it is not yet too late, and it is
sincerely to be hoped hat the city can
furnish the public spirit and patriotism
which the occasion demands.

Few persons, perhaps, are aware that
they possess a pair of harps. They are
called the organs of Corti, after their
discoverer, and are located in the ear.
They are estimated to have &, 200 strings,
being, of course, microscopic and vary
ing in length from 1900 to 1000 of an
inch. If you hold a properly tuned VIC
lin near Il piano when the T. string is
struck the Il violin string will vibrate
and sound too; so with all the rest. Now,
the s, 700 strings of the human ear harp
have such n wide compass that any APP
preciable sound in the universe has the
corresponding o n string, and the sound
is conveyed through the connecting fla
ment to the auditory nerve, thence to
the sensorium, and thus n knowledge of
the sound is received by the mind.-Chi-

THE FOOLISH OLD WOMAN.

Isaw an old woman go up a steep hill,
AND she chuckled and laughed as she
went with a will.
And yet as she went
Her body was bent

"Oh, why do you chuckle, old womani'
says /,
"As you climb up the hillside 80 steep and
so highi"
Because, don't you see,

At the top of the hill, he, he" says she.
| saw the old WOMAN go downward again,
And she easily travelled, with never a
pain;
Yet she loudly cried
And gustily sighed
And groaned, though the road was level
and wide.
"Oh, why, my old woman" says ], do you
weep.
When you laughed rs you climbed up the
hillside so Steep"
"Heigh-ho, | am vexed,
Because | expect"
Says she, 81 shall ache in climbing the

The possibility that ozone in the at
mosphere may promote pneumonia by
irritating the lungs was discussed in The
American Meteorological Journal last
fall by DIR. Daniel Draper, director of
the New York Contra Park observatory.
In his annual report of 1885, just out,
the doctor further considers this topic,
and presents data bearing upon it in the
form Of charts. In connection with this
subject he offers a novel suggestion.
Coincident with the wonderful rosy sun
rises and sunsets in the autumn of 1888
and 1884, which have since been the sub
ject of much scientific study, there was
a notable decrease in the amount of
ozone in the air observed in Central
park. DIR. Draper thinks the latter phe-
nomenon may have been due to the
former, and that the brilliant spectacle
in question, by restricting the prevalence
of pneumonia, had some influence, per-
haps, on the sanitary condition of our
globe. Medical Journal.

Ii Is reported that British capitalists
who have invested in American lands are
greatly alarmed at the prospect ~ofcongres-
sional legislation on the subject of alien
ownership OF lands. With more excuse,
they are as ignorant of our institutions as
the Knights of Labor themselves, who
imagine that congress possesses unlimited
legislative powers and that existing titles
could be blown aside with a breath. So
far as the territories, only, are concerned,
congress may prohibit further acquisition
of real estate by aliens, but such enact
ment would strengthen the title to lands
already acquired.

Ireland has in the whole literary gull, d

How the Heavy Iron Balls Are Sunk In

How the Heavy Iron Balls Are Sunk In
Water Four Miles Deep.
After steaming two days to the east
ward the line of deep-sea soundings was
aiken up again in the South Atlantic
ocean, where the Enterprise had left off
IN her outward passage around the Cape
IF Good Hope over three years before.
The soundings are taken with iron balls
similar to ninc-inch shot slung with wire.
A hole three inches in diameter through
The middle of the ball reduces its
weight from niety-six pounds
the weight of nine-inch shot-to sixty
four pounds. Through this hole a brass
plunger is inserted several inches
longer than the diameter Of the shot.
The plunger is filled with a worm, a
cup, and a hook, by which the shot is
fastened to a reel containing 5000 faith
)ms of steel wire fastened to n swivel
forming the head of the p%lunger, and led
over a wheel in an iron frame several
feet clear of the ships side, and over an
other wheel n little below the frame.
This leads the wire still further clear OF
the ship. The frame on which the upper
wheel hangs has five hollow ~stanchions,
in which are springs, TO each of which a
rope is fastened. roll over roll, as in the
top of the frame, and to which the wheel
hangs so as to give it a chance to give
way several feet to ease the strain which
naturally comes on the wire and would
surely break it on n heavy roll of the
ship, as it has done once, causing a loss
of 800 fathoms of wire.
When everything is ready the shot is
dropped overheard and the wire rum of
the reel at n rate of / 900 fathoms in ten
minutes. As soon as the %pluDger reaches
the bottom the hook to which the shot is
fastened turns over by the %slackening of
the strain, and SO releases it. A t~ell-tale
on the axle of the reel tells how many
fathoms of wire have run off. A steam
engine then winds the wire with the
plnnger on the reel, minus the shot,
which forever, remains at the bottom of
the ocean. The plunger consists of a
hollow brass tube ten inches long, in
which is inserted a worm with a cup on
the lower end. The worm serves for
the purpose of twisting the cup into the
bed of the ocean and fetching up n
sample from the bottom. The contents
of the cup, after the water is drained oil,
are put in small bottles and labeled with
latitude, longitude, and depth. These
bottles are packed into boxes and sent
to the photographic office in Wash
ington.
When under steam alone the engines
are stopped for sounding, but when un-
der sail alone steam has to be gotten up
and all sail taken in, as the ship has to
