A very interesting branch of American
enterprise is that employed in the manu-
ficture of China ware. Hitherto our Amer
an potters have had difficulty in produ-
cling an article that would not show creases
or dark lines, after a little use, and often
while the ware was on the shelves of the
dealer. From this and other causes ii was
found very difficult to compete with En-
glish and French operators in their line.
But now, after long struggle, our Amer
ican pOtters have not merely come abreast
with foreign manufacturers but they are
really ahead of them-in products and in
prices. Our Springfield dealers, this fall,
show some of the finest specimens of China
table ware. for the wonderfully low prices
at which they are marked, that we
have ever seen. Some of them are hand
painted and would grace the tables of any
dining-roOm In this land or any other, and
they are within the reach of persons Of
moderate means. These decorated break
IA Il, dinner or tea sets, in addition to being
durable, serve 10 introduce and illustrate
true art into the common, everyday life of
the people. A handsome and truly artistic
set of ware upon the table, three times a
day, is a continuous educator and exerts a
r filming influence from year to year. There
is Involved in this, too, the American prin-
ciple of protecting and promoting our own
American industries. And il has become
very easy and natural to do this, when our
own products are-all things considered-at
the head OF the market.

Sir John F. W. Herschel, in lecture on
earthquakes published about ten years ago,
calls attention 10 the enormous quantities Of
matter that are carried to the ocean by rivers
or are washed from the coast, and says that
in order TO counteract this earthquakes are
constantly occurring in some locality. The
key to the whole affair is TO be found in the
central heat Of the earth. This is no scien-
tific dream nor theoretical notion, but fact
established by direct evidence up to a certain
point and standing out from plain facts as a
matter of unavoidable conclusion in a hun
dred ways.
The bottom of the Pacific ocean is sinking,
in point of fact. Not taat the ocean is be
coming deeper, but the whole bed of the sea
is in the act of being pressed down by the
LAYING on of new solid substance over its bot
tom. the actual bed being the same distance
from the surface of the water. 1t is impos-
sible but that this increase of pressure in
some places and relief in others must he very
unequal in their bearing, 50 that at some
place or other this solid floating crust must
be brought into a state Of strain, and if there
be a weak or soft spot, a crack will at last
take place-Boston Transcript.

BRUSH SEINE FISHING.
TIE Cornpisnter Indians Novel Method
of Catching Fish.


Fully a thousand people from James
town. Warren and neighboring places
went TO Big Bend, on the Allegheny
river to witness the drawing of a brush
seine by the Cornplanter Indians This
was the first time brush seine had
been drawn in the Allegheny river in
ten years and, il becoming known that
the fun was TO take place, called out
great crowd OF whites, who stood by
and witnessed the capture Of about 1000
pounds of bass, pike and pickerel by the
sons of the forest.
This method of fishing is novel, and is
prohibited by the laws Of Pennsylvania,
but the noble red man, like necessity,
knows no law except that of supply and
demand. and when he gets ready to fish,
the county jails have no terrors for him.
When a seine is to be drawn a delegation
of Indians select location where the
water is very deep and ending in long,
shallow rifle. Here they go into camp
and begin cutting brush, the butts OF
which are deftly woven together, leaving
the bushy end loose. When this has
reached length sufficient TO cross the
stream one end is carried over and made
| fast to a tree. The loosely constructed
drag is then interviewer with other
branches, among which are fastened
large stones, pieces of iron and junk,
until the lower side of the drag rests ON
the bottom of the stream.
The seine is now completed, and on the
! first bright day the main body of Indians
arrives and the fun opens. They are di-
vided into three squads. One of these,
armed with spears or harpoons, is sta
toned ON the rifle, and the other two are
| delegated to draw the seine. Soon after
the drag begins moving the fish start
down stream, and the scene becomes ami
mated in the extreme. Swarthy braves,
dressed la Newport, dash here and
| there in the shallow water, driving a
spear through a ten-pound pickerel or
| half-pound bass with the same energy
/ and skill, and all the time keeping up an
unearthly yelling that resOunds for miles
! through the forests. As the seine moves
| slowly down stream the excitement in
| creases, and the Indians seem wild with
| delight as fish after fish, in endless vari-
/ ETY., is thrown Hopping and twisting upon
the banks, TO be taken care Of by the old
men. The sport at Big Bend lasted
nearly two hours. and when the work was
done they had captured a wagon box
| full, the catch being estimated at two
thousand pounds.-JamestOwn On. "

A farmer near Chambersburg, Pa, recently
prepared some home made phosphate from
lime and chicken manure, which he left in a
heap upon his barn floor Some time after il
was discovered that a peculiar smell, as of
some substance burning, was issuing from the
barn. Upon investigation it was found that
the phosphate was a mass of fire. The diff
ferent compositions of which it had been
made generated such great heat that spon-
taneous combustion was the result With
the aid of others the farmer succeeded III
pitching the burning mass from the barn.
The barn floor, whereon the mass lay, was
considerably charred and blackened.-Chi-

THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE.

''GOOd night, my sweet one" he said
And lingering kiss he threw,
Then through the lawn he sped
And quickly lost to view.
But her father had watched it all,
And an awful swear he SwOre
As he took his gun from the wall
And through the bushes tore.
And the lover unconsCiOuSly
Walked to the garden gate;
He thought of his sweet Marie
Who soon would be his mate.
Then he felt grip on his pants
And he heard fathers breath.
Like flash he was over the fence
And escaped certain death.
But his coat he left on the fence.
And his pants in the bull dogs Jaws,
And as he hurried thence
He simply said: Good Laws
Tomorrow I'll go to the sale
At J. NJ. knote's bargain store
And buy suit without fail
For the suit that the bull dog tore"
When Marie saw him next day
In his elegant five dollar clothes,
She threw him kiss cross the way
And loved him more for his woes.

The republicans of the district and state
are awake and no mistake. The course of
the democratic party in Ohio during the
Hoadly administration, the purchase of the
Payne seat in the United States senate and
the Hamilton county election frauds have
aroused the people to true appreciation
of the situation. The course also of the
lower house of congress, in which body
the democrats have the control. calls upon
the people for a readjustment Of the situa-
tiOn and the sending TO the next congress
a sufficient number Of republicans to con-
troll national legislation after the 4th of
March next. The necessity of this is thor
oughly impressed upon the people and they
turn to the republican party for relief and
protection from the rascalS who have been
turned in to administer public affairs.
This sentiment has caused a republican
boom all over the country; especially is this
so in Ohio. 1t has penetrated every con-
gressional district, and although the money
being emptied, the will of the people is
against them, and the result will be a glOri-
Gus republican victory. Butterworth, Little
and Kennedy, the three congressional can
didates against whom the boodlers are es-
pecially directing their forces, are gather
ing support from the best element of all
parties in addition TO their united party
support, and the result will be that they
will be elected by increased majorities in
their districts.
This is good republican year, and dem
ocrats may as well make up their minds to
take back seats.
