The Good Old Days.

bloomington iantnsrApn.
In the good old times OF forty and
fifty years ago in Illinois, all one had
to do with drove OF steers was to
turn them out in the spring as poor
as could be, and by the LIST Of the
following October every one of them
would be rolling fat, and q $40 steer
would buy eight acres OF good land.
Now n $50 steer, after eating fifty
bushels OF 5O-cent corn and $1O-a-ton
hay,will only buy one half acre OF
poor land. Then to raise hogs all one
had to do was to turn few sows and
q boar into the woods in the spring,
and every TALL throw out about one
bushel of l5-cent corn to the mead to
finish them up and one had q fat drove
OF hogs, and every $3.50 hog would
pay for two acres OF land; and there
were but few men in central illinois in
the old times referred to, who would
trade 50 pig for !, section OF land,
for they could all have ten sections
apiece without even paying one cent
tax on it, and often there would be q
large tract OF land left.

From New York World Correspondent.
Little Willie is nine years old. His
sister Sadie is two years his junior.
They are very aifectionate with one
another, but whenever Sadie becomes
possessed OF n penny Willie is sure, by
coaxinSs or promises, to secure it.
Willie had obtained three cents from
Sadie under promise OF future pay
nlent. Sadie secured another penny,
when Willie beganto wheedle and coax
to obtain possession OF it. Sadie de-
INJURED. He already owed her too
much But Willie persevered and at
last secured the cent-this time not
as loan, but rs gift. What did
Willie do? Did he spend it? Oh, no!
He held possession for while and
then gave it back to Sadie in part
payment OF his three-cent indebted
ness, saying that he then owed her
but two! Before the day was over
Willie succeeded in repeating the
operation, until finally he owed Sadie
nothing! Sadie is somewhat mystitied
and can't exactly comprehend the
transaction, but rs Willie assures her
that it is all right she accepts the stu.
alton and is satisfied.

ooh, Mark, dearest, how late you

open the door. "Come in, quick, out

but who is that with you?"
In a hurried whisper / told her all.
"Did l do right, Kate?" said !.
"Right of course you did" said she.
"Ask her to come in at once. And I'll
put another cup and saucer on the
table,"
Tenderly I assisted the chilled and
weary old lady across the threshold.
"Here's my wife," said l. "And

"Hold on, Kate!" said I, with the
coffee-pot still in my hand, as l had
been lifting it from the fire. "This is
never"
but 1T is, Mark" cried out Kate
breathlessly. "It's mother; my own
mother! Oh, helpme, dearest, quickly;
she has tainted away"
But she was all right again, present.

one of the warm cushions, which Kate
had knit with wooden needles, and
drinking hot coffee. 1t was all true.
The unfortunate passenger whose
pocket had been picked on the train,
and to whose rescue had come, was
no other than my Kate's own mother,
who had determined to risk the perils
of a journey to the far West to see her
child once again.
And she has been with us ever since,
the dearest old mothcr-in-law that
ever a man had, the comfort OF our
household, and the guardian angel OF
little Kate and the baby, when l am
away on my long trips.
And little Kate declares now that
she is perfectly happy" God bless
her-may she never be otherwise.

Delicate Flattery Of Freshmen

A certain barber in this beautiful
city has been vexed in spirit because
some OF his trade seemed in a fair
way to slip away from him. The
manner OF it is this: He has among
his customers large number of Yale
freshmen OF tender years. These risky
youths insist upon being shaved, al
though their chins may be as smooth
as the surface of a billiard ball. The
barber saw that in order to keep
that class OF trade he must con.
vince it that it had hair on
its face. So he bethought himself OF q
scheme. He took q very fine razor
and honed it down to very fine edge.
This accomplished. he SO manipulat.
ed the tool that when it was drawn
along the smooth flesh it made a
noise as il the points were being scrap.
ed off barb. wire fence. He tried it on
the first freshman that came in, and
the man went away looking as pleas.
ed as if his mother.in.law had just
died. The tonsorial artist now flour
ishes. and the freshman goes on his
way rejoicing.

Living from Hand to Mouth.


One startling fact brought out by
the great miners strike in the schuyl.
kill valley is the strictly hand-to.
mouth system of fuel distribution in
great centres OF population. The
stock OF coal on hand in cities near
the mines is utterly inadequate to
supply the needs of manufactures
and other large consumers for more
than q few weeks in advance. OF
course, at points more remote, es-
pecially such as receive their coal
mainly by routes like the great lakes,
which are closed a large part of the
year, the accumulation of fuel is quite
extensive at certain seasons in par.
ticular. Taking the country as a whole,
however, in view OF the ease with
which stocks of coal may be carried
without loss or injury. the margin
protecting consumers from the con-
sequences of a stoppase OF work in
the mines is very small. A total ces-
sation of mining in all parts of the
United States would very speedily he
followed by terrible distress and bust.
ness stagnation. In fact, the world,
even yet, comes lar nearer living from
hand to mouth, in the necessarles,
such us food and fuel, than we are apt
to think. Eternal industry is the
price OF protection from cold and
hunger.

The Number of the Stars.

Philadelphia Record.
In some remarkable mathematical
observations by M. Hermite concern.
ing thenumber OF stars, he shows that
the total number visible to the naked
eye OF an observer OF average visual
power does not exceed six thousand,
and OF these the southern hemisphere
contains somewhat the larger num-
Der. In order to SEQ this number OF
stars the nignt must be moonless, the
sky cloudless and the atmosphere
pure, and here the power OF the UNI
aided eye stops; an opera glass will
bring out 10000, while small tele.
scope will bring out Mt least 100000.
and the most powerful telescopes yet
constructed will show more than
1OO,OOO,OOO. M. Hermite concludes
from his various observations that
tho light emitted by all the stars
upon the whole surface OF the globe is
equal to onc-tenth OF the light OF the
full moon.

How Gun Barrels are Made.

St. Nicholas. beautiful waved
lines and curious flower like figures that
appear upon the surface of the barrels
are really the lines of welding, showing
that two different kinds of metals, iron
and steel, are intimately blended in maxi
ing the finest and strongest barrels. The
process of thus welding and blending
steel and iron is very interesting one.
Flat bars, or ribbons, of steel and iron
are alternatively arranged together and
then twisted into cable.
Sevaral Of the cables are then welded
together, and shaped into long flat bar
which is next spirally coiled around
hollow cylinder, called mandrel; after
which the edges of these spiral bars are
heated and firmly welded. The spiral
coil is now put upon what is called o
welding mandrel, is again heated and
carefully hammered into the shape
of gun-barrel. Next comes the
cold hammering, by which the pores
are securely closed. The last or finish
ing operation is to turn the barrel on q
lathe to exactly its shape and size. by
all the twistings and weddings and ham,
merings, tho metals are so blended that
the mass has somewhat the consisten cy
and toughness of woven steel and iron.
A barrel thus made is very hard to
burst. But tho finishing of the inside of
tho barrel is an operation requiring very
great care and skill. What is called a
cylinder-bored barrel is where the bore
| or hole through the barrel ia made of
