Iron Ocean Steamers.

The first iron vessel was launched in
1917, and is still in ex stence. But not
till 1892 did the work seriously begin.
AT that time the Lloyds began to build
small iron steamers for short voyages.
A certain amount of prejudice had to
be overcome, for there were many
doubts as to it's strength and buoyancy.
But 1T made its way and the first suc-
cessful iron steamer made a transatlan-
tic voyage in 1912, the Great Eritain,
launched by the Great Western Com
pany. In those days the Great Britain
was rated as an unusually large-s zed
ship. Ii was a ship of 5000 tons bur-
den, and was an iron-screw steamer
combining the new methods of propul
sion and construction The voyage
was successful and the ship is still in
existence, and, till within few wears
at least, ran to Austr lila. Her success
led to limitations in the English marine,
and in 1850 the Inman Line was estab-
lished between Liverpool and New
York of iron-screw steamers. 1t had no
profitable mail contract, and was purely
commercial undertaking, but under
skillful management has been very sue
cessful. In the United States iron ship
building has never taken root the way
it has in England. Americans began
early TO build small iron steamers. and
do now, but only for eoasting lines.
We only use iron in cases where we are
entirely cut of from competition, or
where we are driven to it, as it is i'm
possible to use wood for much of the
coasting service.

4 Modern Fable.

A beautiful young lady, who always
aided her mother in the performance OF
the household duties, and who was of a
kind and amiable disposition, was one
day surprised by the visit Of fairy,
who said to her:
Il have watched you a long time, and
have been much pleased with your
cheerfulness. your kindness and anna
bility, and have come to inform you
that you will have one wish granted, no
matter what it is.
The young lady pondered for few
moments and then said:
Il would wish to live to a good old
age"
Have then your wish, said the
fairy; become a ballet dancer or a
chorus singer" and she vanished.

Carlo.

How we'll we all remember Carlo
He was q dear old dog, and belonged
to Mr.. Rhodes, the constable OF our
town.
Carlo always made point of attend
ing all the fires in the town. He could
mount ladder like fireman, and we'll
do L recoliect the last of his adven-
lures.
1t was toward evening on holiday,
and few people were in the place, as
most of the citizens of the town were
absent on popular excursion.
1 remember feeling sadly disappointed
at having TO miss the excursion myself
At about o'clock the bells in the
churches began to ring very loud and
fast; and Carlo. who had been lazily
sleeping and watching the place, started
up, and, with two or three expressive
growls that summoned his master, ran
with all speed for the fire.
The dog was<very busy and intelli-
gen. all the time, dragging down the
stairs, with great speed and care, things
of every description.
AS the last house was burning. the
cry of child was heard in the upper
story.
OF course it was out of the question
for any one to go up and expect to
come back; but Carlo seemed to take
in the situation at a glance. r, Knowing
in his dog mind that the first stories
were already in q blaze he leaped up
the ladder and jumped in through the
window. The fire and smoke soon
drove him back, but his master, who
appeared at that moment, shouted to
him to go in, and the people cheered.
Whether he understood or not, he
again entered the window, andtwhen
all hope of his return. had been given
up, loud shout announced his arrival.
He was terribly buanedeand fell before
he reached the ground; still holding
with wonderful firmness little babe.
The child did not prove to be greatly
harmed; but poor Carlos injuries we're
fatal. The brave dog received every
care, but he died the next day.-E6ie

Starch.

In the manufacture of starch from
corn the essential steps in the process
are as follows: /. The shelled corn is
stepped in water. 2. The grain while
wet is ground between millstones. 3.
The ground material is passed through
a boiling device whereby the coarse
hull or bran is separated from the finer
parts. 4. The finer parts are mixed
with the proper amount of water and
are allowed to flow over long and
slightly inclined troughs or tables.
The starch settles to the bottom, and
a milky colored mass floats off, The
hull or bran from the third step is the
so-called "feed." It is the hull of the
grain with small proportion OF ad.s.

Where the Damages Should Come In.

A recent decision of the Supreme
Court allows wife to sue for damages
the person, male or female, who has
alienated her husbands affections and
brought about the absence of his "con-
jugal society" This is we'll enough,
but the coniugal society of such a hus-
band as that must be SO much less than
valuable that perhaps the woman gets
her damages in advance of the suit.

! The knights of Labor has become
one of the largest aggregations of la
| boring men that ever existed. 1t has
many features which are really supe-
rior and praiseworthy. One is thai il
does not exclude from its organization
people of any race or OF any color, and
women, too, fortunately, can be adj
mitted.
This we deem a grand movement in
the right direction, because the labor of
women has been too often ground to the
dust. Think of it At the present day
women ase compelled to make shirts at
forty cents per dozen. Hoods famous
Song of the Shirt is sad reality in
the America of to-day.
With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red. d.
woman sat in unNomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread.
Stitch stitch stitchl
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,
And still with voice OF dolorous pitch,
She sang the Song of the Shirt
Work work. work
While the cock is Growing aloof!
And work-work-work
Till the stars shine through the roof .
It's oh e be "A slave ..f
Along with the barbarous Turk,
Where wom IN has never n soul TO save,
ANY honest reform to better the con-
dition of female labor will be welcomed
by every humanitarian. Heretofore the
labor unions have overlooked the neces-
sity of making great effort for women.
The Knights of Labor admit doctors,
preachers, editors, and merchants TO
membership, and the only individuals
whom they exclude as the natural enc
mics of labor are bankers, lawyers,
professional gamblers, and liquor-sell-
ers. One Socialistic orator declares
that the Knights of Labor ought not
to admit merchants. because he deems
them aristocrats; but many OF these
"aristocrats" work as hard as any day
laborer, and therefore very properly are
included among the laboring men of the
country.
One of the most honorable principles
of the Knights of Labor, and for which
it will be commended by all broad
gauge Americans, is that the order per-
mits the Knights to work in the same
shops or factories with union or non
union men. 1t makes no distinction in
this regard, and, most fortunately, is
removed from the narrow and proscript-
i've spirit of too many labor organiza-
tons, which declare that union man
cannot work alongside of non-union
man.
This broad and liberal basis upon
which the knights of Labor organiza-
ton rests is one cause of its extended
popularity; for no organization can
ever be general which proscribes a
brother workman, not because he is a
poor artisan or bad man, but simply
because he does not belong to a speci-
fed association JViscon-

Anecdote of a Famous Guorrilla,
Escape from the Ohio Prison.
Mai. Morgan, of Kentucky, who, is a
relatise, believe, of the famous Gen.
Morgan, of Confederate fame. who
raided Ohio, is living in New York
City, says writer in the New York
Tribune. He has been quite wealthy,
but, / am told, has lost much of his
property. When / met him the other
night he told me q story about the ia
nous guerrilla, Gen. JEFF. Thompson.
The General had been captured and
was in prison at Alton, when it was de-
cided to send him to Johnson's Island.
The Lieutenant in whose charge he was
placed to make the trip to Johnson's
Island went in plain clothes. On the
train they could not find seats together.
The General sat down alongside a lit
tie Hebrew traveller, while the Lieu
tenant sat in the seat behind. 4 he
Generals companion was earnestly
read ng a paper, from which he looked
up presently and said, half inquiringly,
to strike up conversation:
dot Lincun vas gurreat man?'
The Generals only reply was
"Humph."
The conversation ran on like this:
"You bin for Mr.. Lincun?" o.
"Not much"
"Ish dot so? Len you bin for Nc
Clellan?"
Not by blanked sight"
"N-o-o-o? Why, den, who bin you
for?"
"Jeff Davis, by the eternal!"

Major Morgan was with General
Morgan on the Ohio raid. He was one
of the seventy-odd men who were cap
tured and confined with Morgan in the
Ohio penitentiary. He was there when
the escape took place. Talking with
me about that event he said: ut was
originally arranged that four men
should go. But seven finally got away.
1t was a night of the most extreme ago
ny / ever suffered. Not man of the
seventy slept wink. During the day
before, while we were out in the main
hall, we had taken bits of cinders from
around the big stove, and snapped them
at each other. There was method in
our play. The cinders fell on the paved
court and the guard could not come
into it without crunching them under
their feet and so letting MS know of
his approach. 1t was II o'clock when
he made his round. He was not to
come again until ?, and he had no soon
Ell started away than the men put their
dummies into their beds and started
into the tunnel they had dug. Some of
the seven did not have an extra peir of
pants to make dummy, and Put the
three-legged stools that were in their
cells under the bedclothes. 1t was
o'clock before the escape was discover
ed. Then it was through the hook by
which they had let themselves over the
wall, and not from the appearance of
things in the cells, although the guard
had made three rounds. The hook was
heavy iron affair, and the rope used
was one that General Morgan had
twisted out of strips of bed clothing.
The ropo was so light that the General
could not throw the hook off after they
had landed outside. But for this their
flight might not have been discovered
for days. They had no roll-call of pris-
oners and had taken no precautions to
keep us secure, evidently thinking
there was no possibility of escape. 1t
took them sixteen days, with large
force of men, to repair the damage
done in making the tunnel"

MY daughter suffered for years with
an obstinate and offensive Catarrh. Her
voice was affected; her throat filed with
purulcnt matter; she complained of head
ache, with pains over the eyes, and in tho
nose, and was fearful that her lungs were
involved in the disease. Physicians pre-
scribed for her, but yet she grew worse.
until finally she lost all sense of smell and
taste. She had no appetite, became bill
ious, sallow, weak, emaciatcd, and discour-
aged. Having heard Ayers Sarsaparilla
