Problem of Heating and Lighting.

The problem of heating and lighting
becomes more and more complicated
every year by the electric light and nat
ural Cas discoveries. Thirteen years ago

that depth the drill dropped two yards in

pour, and it has supplied my house with
heat and light ever since. The only

the women folks Of fire to poke. Ii is
my standing joke at home that in the
absence of fire they poke ut me.
There have been number Of wells
put down in gainesville, but none
of them were successful except mine.

Volcanoes Along the Pacific Coast.

A volcanic revival seems to have
struck the Pacific coast of our continent.
The seaport Of Guayaquil, in Ecuador,
has witnessed three days eruption Of
Mount Tungurazua, 4turning night into
day" and in western Mexico the volcano
of Colima has furnished series of FREQ
pyrotechnics. After a subterranean pre-
Jude of strange bumpings and rumblings,
the great crater burst into flames and
began to lombard the neighboring hill
sides with skyrockets in the form Of
twenty-pound chunks of bituminous con-
glomerate. American tourists could
reach the scene of the phenomeon within
three days after leaving San Antonio.

and the terminus Of the unfinished AGA

AFTER the terrible scene at the hang.
ing Of Ford and Murphy i'm Louisiana,
lately, when two unconscious men
were propped up preparatory to being
strangled to death, it is gratifying to
read that bill has been introduced
into the New York legislature to sub
stitute the electric shock for the rope.
This will be more humane, and much
more sure. Even decapItation does
not always produce instantaneous un-
consciousness. as has been shown by
European journals of science. Death
and not torture, sudden death and not
prolonged suffering, fill all the require
ments of outraged law.

Disraeli's Love for His Race.

The young Disraeli began life as jew,
when To be jew meant to be deprived
If every social and civil advantage that
makes a public career worth striving
for. The position of conquered Sam
mite i'm a world of Roman citizens was
scarcely more calling than the position
of Jew in England in the early part Of
the present century. He was not, it is
true, any longer tortured at the pleasure
Of prince or noble; he was no longer con-
demned to dwell in ghetto or wear gar
ments of peculiar cut or color; but all, or
almost all, chances Of political promotion
were closed against him in his adopted
country. He might amass fortune, Inc
might win distinction in letters and tho
arts, but he could not place his foot on
the lowest round Of the ladder that led to
political distinction.
These difficulties did not long restrain
and impede the young Disraeli. He had
been brought up q Christian. As a
Christian he could enter the parliament
which il was then impossible for Jew
to enter; and once in parliament, he felt
that his career was clear before him and
his success certain. But though he never
professed the religion of his race, Dis
raeli never forgot his reverence for that
race nor his love for the people from
whom he sprang. In his writings, in his
speeches, in all the actions of his life, he
was the champion, and q most powerful
and effective champion, of the Jewish
people.-Justin Mccarthy.

man and diplomatist of no mean
order. From his anticident political
history IL was not unreasonable to ex.
pect that he would let the admitistra-
tion be run by the "boys" Of the New
York machine of which he had been
chief engineer. His whole deport.
ment, his executive ability and his
clean administration should have
earned from his party the endorse
ment. The failure to make him their
standard bearer probably cost the Re-
publicans their position in politics
and probably embittered the life OF
General Arthur If Il did not shorten
bis days.

AND now come the kickers and kick

AND now come the kickers and kick
because Surveyor General Greene in a
communication to the commissioner
of the land Office spoke of the necessi-
ty Of irrigating agricultural lands.
The disgruntled parties say that such
q statement is likely to lead eastern
parties to believe that our country
does not hold out inducements to
farmers as immigrants. Now we
could not expect the surveyor general
or any one else to lie about our cOun-
try. The facts are these; there are
three classes of land in Montana,
desert lands, small patches of river
bend bottom lands which will often
produce crops without irrigation, and
large areas of land which will produce
largely and remuneratiy when irri-
gated. But of one matter there Is no
doubt, with irrigation we can raise
crops to astonish the world. We have
q healthful, productive and prosper
Gus country. We have crops, mines
and live stock, and we have energetic
citizens, and We have country to
which eastern folks may come with a
prospect of lettering their condition.

MACHINES SURPRISING HAND WORK

Furniture of the Highest Grade Now
Made by Machinery-A Few Details.
In one of the many stores used for the
sale of fine furniture to which the trade
name of artistic" is now applied, two
men were examining an elaborate cabinet
the other day. One of them was actively
engaged in the wholesale furniture bust
ness, the other had retired from il some
few years ago. Il want you to examine
this" said the former, "and tell me if you
think it is really what it claims TO be-a
piece Of hand-worked furniture" The
other after a sharp scrutiny and examin-
ing closely various points such as tho
carving, the interior finish of the little
cupboards, the returns of the mouldings
and so forth, said: Certainly this with
the exception may be of some of the
minor mouldings must have been worked
by hand and finished altogether in that
manner"
well them" replied his companion, Il
may tell you for your own edification
that this was worked by machinery from
start to finish and put together by men
working for 30 cents an hour He re-
marked that during the last year or two
an enterprising western firm had gone in
for making furniture of the highest grade
by machinery. The designs were pre-
pared by the most skilfull designers and
a design has yet to be prepared which the
machine can not turn out with nearly as
fine finish as can possibly be attained
by hand work.
New machines are being constantly
invented to do any peculiar WORK, which
has hitherto been thought only possible
by hand. Fine mahogany fancy tables,
carved parlor sets and cabinets are the
principle lines of furniture now made in
this fashion and the work is as superior
to common hand work as the latter is to
the cheap machine-made stuff which was
once the only representative of machine
work on the market. 1t appears that
most of the dealers in the finer sort of
furniture in this city are adding the new
machine-made work to their stocks. The
wood is carefully seasoned and the joints
are finer and closer than is usually the
case with hand work. The cost is of
course much less.-New York Tribune.

An Abnormaiiy sharp Young Man.

A young New Highlander landed in
New York with nothing but his car
pet-bag and license to practice law
An old lady fell on him in the street
breaking his arm. The cause of the disas-
ter took him to her house, nursed him and
insisted on his taking vacant room and
becoming member of the family. The
young man remained in his pleasant quar-.
tiers, opened law Office. and began to
make money.
There were two daughters at the house
both very plain The elder had little fort
une of 900. and the lawyer engaged him
self TO her with the mothers consent. Az
ter awhile he made money so rapidly that
he laid his plans to leave the house and cut
the acquaintance of the family. just then
the younger daughter inherited 500, 1000.
The lawyer paid court TO her and they be-
came engaged secretly. One day the old
lady was on her death-bed and urged an
immediate marriage. The young rascal
hurried Oft, secured a license and o
preacher and returned. When everything
was ready the bridegroom without a word
Joined hands with the younger daughter.
The ceremony was over before the other

A saAksMAN's LIFE IN WINTER.
Dangerous Work In Had wsathef--Jump-
ing from Train While In Motion.

ing from Train While In Motion.
The freight brakemen wear very heavy
clothing, although 1t is always short, as
they have TO get around In hurry some
times. l have known the time when /
was braking on freight train, when the
train was running fifteen or twenty miles
an hour, against sleet and snow, and a
call had come for "down brakes" At such
time have been sitting on top of the car,
so stiff and frozen as to be unable to work
the brakes at all
We do not mind the cold weather so
much on the freights as when there is
snow on the ground and on the cars. Then
it becomes very dangerous, as when the
train is running twenty miles an hour the
snow and sand will be hurled up between
the cars enough to blind man, and with
the Recovered cars and running as we
do, from one car to another, perhaps with
our lanterns blown out, il is pretty dan
gcrous, and n man has to be sure-footed
and have his wits about him To brake on
freight i'm the winter time.
Many of the passenger brakemen live at
the way stations down the road, and when
they finish their work at one end OF the
tpiu bhtg tahS an tApiSsT lam hees>, ohNs
as 1t passes the station ut which they live,
although the train may be going at the
rate of from fifteen to twenty-five miles
an hour, they will jump oil and keep their
feet, although they have 10 run perhaps
the length Of the train before they stop
themselves, but still they seldom, il ever,
lose their feet.
1t is quite a trick to jump of, and takes
considerable practice before 1t can be
done successfully. The way to jump is
always with the train and on the left
hand side of the latter, letting the right
foot rest on the step and the left foot
swing from the step. Then jump SO that
the left foot will strike The ground first
and the right foot Immediately follow 1t,
so as to be able to run. Some of the men
jump from the middle of the train or
front, but most of them go TO the rear car
and jump, so that if they fall they will not
roll under the cars. The only regular
train hand ever heard of being hurt by
jumping was man who lives in Dorches-
ter, and who was struck on the head by
the car steps as he jumped and was badly
hurt. The best man | ever saw, and the
only man who could hold his feet and stop
himself without running at ALL was man
who Is now conductor on the Derby road
II, could jump from q train running
thirty-five miles an hour and stop without
running foot.-New Haven Journal

Thursday, March as, 1886.
SENATOR JOHN A. LOGAN has sub.
mitted the following resolutions:

Hltteu tue loilOWluS Ttsoiutlous
Resolved, That the sessions of the
Senate commonly known as the exec
utive sessions, SO far as they apply to
nominations, combinations or rejec.
tions, shalr hereafter be held with
open doors, and that a public record
of the same shall be kept the same as
those of the Legislative sessions.
The resolution was ordered printed
and to lie over.
This strikes US as correct. This is
American. General Logan is always
American. People say that Mrs.
Logan furnishes the General with his
notions and steers him in the ways OF
wisdom. However this may be, we
can approve Of the above. Secrecy is
un-American, and is not relished by
the average citizen. Except in the
case of state treaties and certain war
measures it seems that there can be no
good reason why the master should
not know what the servant is doing.
This executive session business is
what is causing the trouble between
the executive snd the Senate at pres
emit. and Senator Logon doubtless sees
that the adoption of the above resolu-
ton will avoid trouble hereafter. The
people are masters and they want no
star chamber. Those nominations or
confirmations, and all papers and
speeches IN connection Herewith
which will not bear the light which
comes with open doors should not be
made, and when the people and press
see and tell all that there is connected
with these matters, then things will
get better and fewer bargains and less
quarreling will obtain. Open the doors.

Artists Proofs and Second Impressions.

The artist's-proof pictures are always
good investments for the reason that
there are only SO many struck of, and
after certain time they become scarce
and valuable. The price is fixed by the
publishers, who notify dealers of the in
creased value Of the picture as the price
increases. The same plate is used in all
pictures, yes. but there is a difference in
these pictures according to whether they
are first or last impressions. The first i'm.
pressions are the remarked proofs. These
have certain mark, a little design Of
some kind just beneath the plate and are
signed by the artist and etcher. These
arc the most valuable. The second i'm
pressions are the artists proofs. These
do not have the design, but have the auto
graph. The third and so on are the re-
gular editions. A remarked copy of q
new picture can be purchased with the
certainty of feeling that its value will go
up just as all the copies are sold. It is q
sure and safe investment.-St. Louis

WASHlNCTON'S BIRTHDAY.

American patriotism is abundantly
manifest in the number of star
spangled banners floating in the
breeze, from flagstaffs on shore and
in the harbor, to-day while the uni
versal respect and good-feeling of
other nations toward the Great Re-
public is equally obvious in the
bunting displayed by other than
American residents. At noon
national salute was fired from the
shore battery, Kakaako, in honor of
the birthday of the "Father of his
country" His Excelloncy Geo. w.
Merrill, United States Minister Re-
sident, and Mrs. Merrill are holding
an informal levee at the American
Legation. The first to call this
morning was Mr.. Taro Ando, Jap
anese Consul and Diplomatic Agent.
Their Excellencies w. M. Gibson,
Paul Neumann and c. I. Gulick, of
the Cabinet, called later; also Mrs.
Gulick, Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, Mr..
II. w. Irwin, Hawaiian Consul-Gen-
eral to Japan; and Mr.. II. w. Lame,
Spanish Consul. Doubtless the dip
lomatic corps generally will have
called, before this is read, as oul
report is necessarily made at the
height of the event, when there was
a steady stream of visitors at the
Legation. The Royal Hawaiian
Band was playing on the grounds
having been sent out of compliment
to the United States, and her popula
representative and his lady, by TIM
Hawaiian Government.

FOWL-STEALINC WHOLESALE.

Recently residents along the Wal
kiki road have suffered heavily from
the depredations of roust robbers.
Major Hills, of the Sunny South,
has lost over a hundred fowls, the
premises of the Pawaa Dairy have
been wholly depleted of their
feathered denizens, and other people
have Jared in the same way at the
hands of nocturnal marauders.
Yesterday Major Hills went to a
fowl ranch kept by Chinaman on
the beach, about hundred yards
from his residence, and the first
thing met one Of his fowls "staring
him in the face" as he puts it. A
little further investigation showed
two or three more fowls belonging
to him enjoying Mongolian hospi-
tality. He forthwith telephoned for
police, and had the Chinaman ar
rested. The culprit will be tried in
the Police Court on Friday next. In
the meantime, the Major suggests,
persons in that locality who have
been robbed of chickens might be
able to discover some of their property
among the 400 and odd fowls domi-
ciled at this Chinaman's ranch.
