startling one, but it is not SO far from
the fact. The talk about the physical
condition of Mr.. Manning brings out
the fact that he weighed at the time of
his attack 325 pounds. Hehad gained
over twenty five pounds since he came
into his position at the treasury; The
president was not much behind him in
weight. They are much alike in figure,
height and general physical peculiari-
ties. There are several of the cabinet
members who must weigh nearly two
hundred pounds each. Secretar.
Lamar is tall, broad-shouldered and
well developed physically, and must
tip the beam at about that figure.
Garland is a big man, very. tall and
muscular. He IS not far from two
hundred in weight. Bayard is not far
behind him, neither is Endicott. Villas
and Whitney must average up about
It's pounds each. Put the eight men
the president and his cabinet-on the
scales, and you will find they do not
fall many hundredweight below a ton.

Substitute for Lath.

The substitute for laths in house
building which is coming into use, par
ticularly in the Western states, is a
sort of ceiling of plank, tongued and
grooved like floor, each plank chan
nelled in the back to prevent it from
Wrapping, and the whole inner surface
ploughed to a half or three-quarters
OF an inch deep at intervals of an inch
or two, the projecting tongues taking
the place of a lath, and doing its SER
vice effectually by being wider at it's
surface than at the bottom, and catch
ing the plaster on the projecting edges,
while the solid portion of the plank
keeps the mortar in place and pre-
vents its being forced through and lost
in the hollow of the wall, as in the
common way. Less mortar is needed
for any room thus ceiled, and the solid
plank backing of the plaster secures it
against cracking, while the T-shaped
tongues hold it firmly against any dis
turbance that would loosen 1.-THE
plastering, in fact, being solid mass,
filling certain vacant spaces IN a solid
plank wall

Kearney Makes iU Pay.

"What is Dennis Kearney doing
now?" was recently asked of Cali
fornian. "Talking on the sand-lots
every Sunday" he said. "But what
does he do during the week ?" "Oh,
he keeps an intelligence office for per-
sons seeking servants and servants
seeking places" "Does he have any
dealings with the Chinese?" ooh, no.
He sticks to his old text. The legend
over his office is No Chinese need ap-
ply There are over one hundred in
telligence Offices in San Francisco"
he continued, "and all of them, excedt
half dozen, deal with the Chinese;
but Kearney is one OF the half-dozen.
He is a natural bigot, but he is smart
enough in this thing, as in politics, to
make his bigotry pay. He makes his
animosity to the Chinese very promi-
nent in his advertisements.

How Rachel Came to Marry Jacot

From the Boston Record.l
This true story comes from an old
seaboard town in Maine:
Jacob loved Rachel, but Rachel
wouldn't have him. Jacob labored
on, pressing his suit at intervals, and
after each rebuff telling her he was
bound to win her yet, and convince
every one she cared for him as much
as he believed in his heart she did.
every WE'LL" cried the indignant
Rachel, with toss of her head, "keep
right on till you make folks believe
that, and when you do I'll marry
you'll"
Jacob did persevere, but with small
success, and at last beganto lose cour-
age. About this time another suffer
OF Rachel's arrived home from sea,
bringing with him, among other
exotics, a parrot of gorgeous hue which
he presented to Rachel, who forthwith
had the bird suspended from the sit
tingroom window, whence she looked
out afternoons when her work was
done. For day or two after mis- ele-
walton to this dignity the parrot re-
manned marvelously quiet, only cast
ing an eye about as if taking in his
new situation. On the third morning,
however, no sooner did the neighbors
begin to stir than he electrified each
passer by with the announcements:
''Rachel's gone on Jacob; no chance
for John!
OF course, the more laughter this
raised the more vociferously the bird
proclaimed the news. 1t spread like
wiidfire, and the parrots audience
steadily increased. Rachel, mean
while went into mysteries, but, however,
much this incommoded the family, it
made no impression on the parrot,
who, although threatened and beaten
and relegated to darkness, waxed
more and more furious with desire to
spread his knowledge.
Jacob kept out of the way for g.
while. but there was no lack of cOuriers
to bring him information of the other
fellows discontinue and the parrots
heroic defense of his cause. At last
Rachels father appeared, wearing on
his weather-beaten face, an odd mix
ture OF frown and grin.
"Look a-here," he said, "between
that derned birds screechin' an folks
a cacklin, that gals Almost out O. her
head. There's nothin' for you to do
but go over there and try to fix up
things as wells We can. l guess most
likely she'll see ye-I do no, folks can't
always tell"
The upshot was Rachel married
Jacob, who sticks to it that it was the
penetrative wisdom of his rivals par
rot that did the business, and denies
to this day all knowledge OF the way
the parrot came by his speech.
