Softening Cast Iron.
LFrank WiIkeson in New York sum
[CEica 20 Tribune.l

An accident in a foundry at Mel
bourne, Australia, has led to the dis
covery that the plunging of iron cast
ings into a mixture of molasses and
water softens the metal to such a de-
gree that it can be punched, bored, or
tapped as easily as wrought iron. 1t is
not stated if the iron must be hot or
cold when treated to its bath of sweet
ened water, but we presume the point
can be settled without much trouble by
any one anxious to avail himself of the
discovery, which looks as if it will prove
TO be far from the least valuable of those
that have been made in iron manu-
facture within few years past.

CONSTIPATION
Sluggish Liver,
ETC, ETC, ETC,

Unlike many kinds of cathartic
- medicines, do not make you feel
worse before you feel better. Their OPP
GRAFTON is gentle, but thorough, and
unattended with disagreeable effects,
such as nausea, gripping pains, etc.
Seigels Operating Pills are the best
family physic that has ever been discov-
cred. They cleanse the bowels from all
irritating substances, and leave them in
a healthy condition.
The best remedy extant for the bane
of our lives-constipatio and sluggish
liver.
These Pills prevent fevers and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all pois-
onous matter from the bowels. They
operate briskly, yet mildly, without any
pain.
If you take a severe cold, and are
threatened with fever, with pains in
the head, back, and limbs, one or two
doses of Seigel's Operating Pills will
break up the cold and prevent the fever.
A coated tongue, with a brackish
taste, is caused by foul matter in the
stomach A few doses of Seige1's
Operating Pills will cleanse the stom-
ach, remove the bad taste, and restore
the appetite, and with it bring good
health
Oftentimes disease, or partially de
cayed food, causes sickness, nausea and
diarrhea. If the bowels are cleansed
from this impurity with a dose of
SeigeTs Operating Pills, these disa-
greeable effects will vanish, and good
health will result.
Seigels Operating Pills prevent
ill-effects from excess in eating or drink
ing. A good dose at bedtime renders a
person fit for business in the morning.
These Pills, being sugar-coated, are
pleasant to take. The disagreeable taste
common to most pills is obviated.

How to Treat the Horse.

however. Some considerations of

How John Robinson Won an Election.

About eight years ago John Rob
inson took his circus to Columbus,
S. C. The show happened to be
there election day. There had been
hot canvass, and the republicans
were mixing strenuous efforts to
carry the county. They were in
the majority and things looked blue
for the democrats. The democratic
executive committee conceived a
brilliant idea, which. with the CO.
operation of John Robinson, the
committee was able to carry into
effect. Every person had to pro-
duce his registration certificate be-
fore he was allowed to vote. 1t was
advertised in the papers and given
out in the streets several days in
advance that the doorkeeper would
receive in lieu of the regular tickets
registration certificates. This had
the desired effect. Hundreds Of
negroes neglected to vote and used
their certificates as circus tickets.
This gave the democrats a big ma
iority. When the executive COM
mittee offered to pay John Robin
son for these admissions he refused
to take the money, telling them
that this was his contribution in
the interest of good government

A Boston Game of Poker.

The intellectual game of draw
poker has taken a firm hold on the
dwellers in cultivated Boston, and
the teachings on the Concord School
of Philosophy are for time for
gotten. Our special correspondent
writes us that he recently overheard
several fair daughters of the Athens
of America indulging in this pleas
ant pastime, when the following
dialogue ensued:
Anastasia-Is it my aunt? Oh,
yes; we'll, there's a solitary check.

Girls Not 50 Silly as They Seem.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Pittsburg Commercial, has writer
who sermonizes on courtship very
we'll, indeed. This is his style:
AS far as Stiffness is concerned
there is probably as much of it in
one sex as the other. Young men
are inclined to think the average
girl silly, but the mere fact that he
does think so proves that he is silly.
Girls giggle and chatter, and gossip
but not more than boys; besides
they are not so profane and vulgar
about it.
The average young man likes
vulgar or even filthy stories. These
are not calculated to enrich his
mind or improve his morals. He
thinks it looks big to swear, smoke,
drink and chew, and do many things
that he would not tolerate in lady
acquaintance, much less in wife.
Then, because woman makes up
her mind that she does not want
that kind of man for q husband,
she is pointed out as a crank or old
maid.
When women give up husband
hunting they will have better luck.
AS it is now they are too anxious.

An OLD ENGLISH STORY.
Grandmamma's Beautiful Feet Shown
to S0ldierA

There is a pretty old historical
story that always comes up to me.
writes Bob" in the Philadelphia
/ Times. They tell it with great
pride in an old house where l once
visited. When King Charles [ was
fighting Cromwell and learning to
his sorrow that gentlemen could be
beaten by bullies, the Oldest daugh-
ter of this very royal house was en-
gagged to be married to puritan
neighbor. Love triumphed over
everything and they were secretly
wed. Often of a night the maid
would wrap herself up, and, a.
tended by trussy servant, would
steal to the place where her hus-
band was garrisoned and spend the
night there. At last an over-zeal-
Gus soldier reported that this gen.
tleman was being visited by cloaked
figures, and that he believed, be-
cause his captain was a well-bred
man, that he might have a taint OF
allegiance to the royal family still
left in him.
Cromwell sent down soldiers to
watch. One night the enshrouded
figures entered. An hour after the
soldiers were at the captains door,
demanding admission. He refused
it. They threatened to break the
door down. After minute or two
he called out: You know that
there is no way by which any hu-
man being can get out of this room.
| promise to let you in provided
you are perfectly quiet, march
around the room and leave it,"
The soldiers scarcely understood
this, but agreed to it. The door
was thrown open. The first one
who entered marched up to the bed
and started to pull a coverlid from
off a figure that rested under it.
But the captain interposed and said: ::
You promised to touch nothing"
The soldiers insisted that perhaps
one of the Stuarts was there; the
captain swore that it was not. At
last, they still. remaining ,uns ats
fed, he said Gentlemen, | will
prove to you that under that cover
there rests one that is not only not
Stuart, but not a man." There
was room full Of soldiers. There
was silence like death and it al
most seemed as if the heart under
the satin sheet could be heard beat
ing. Going to the foot of the bed
the captain raised the sheet, and
slowly, carefully and exactly rolled
it up, displaying to this company
of soldiers pair Of the handsomest
white legs, the smallest feet, and
the finest ankles that their eyes had
ever rested on. With one accord
every man raised his hat and qui-
etly filed out. Long after the story
was told, and when the tough cap
tain was an old man and his grand
children were around him, when
the Stuarts had their own, and the
Guelphs didn't rule England, the
greatest toast used to be: "To
grandmamma's beautiful legs"

A SUPERNATURAL STORY.

A dispatch from Brakeman to the
Chicago Inter-Ocean says: Abra-
ham McAdams, one of the wealth
lest farmers in this country, Is
making arrangements to enter the
ministry. This determination on
the part of Mr.. McAdams is a great
surprise to his friends, and there is
queer story in connection with it:
Last Thursday morning he started
to Brakeman in company with a
neighbor named Ira Boyce. When
near a place called Harper's Draw,
east of Atwood about four miles,
they saw a cloud shaped like Il bal
loon, and occupied apparently by a
woman, arise from the draw and
float off toward the northwest. 1t
went out a short distance, when it
turned and came toward them.
When about 200 yards distant and
40 feet in the air the balloon sud-
denly dissolved and left the woman,
with long. floating hair which COM
pletely covered her shoulders and
reached her waist, standing alone.
She had one hand outstretched to.
ward McAdams as if beckoning
him. Then the ghost-like scene
suddenly changed again, and in
place Of the woman stood horse
with a large pair of saddlebags
across its back, and by its side a
man with hair worn rather long and
a black stovepipe hat on his head.
He was dressed in clerical garb,
and McAdams at once recognized
him as the exact counterpart of his
uncle, Virginia circuit rider. This
apparition also turned for mo-
ment toward the two men then, re-
garding McAdams gravely for a mo-
ment, beckoned once, and, mount
ing the horse, galloped off slowly
down the draw.
When Mr.. McAdams called for
his mail at Brakeman he was handed
Il letter with deep black border
postmarked at Three Rivers. Va.
A portion of it read: Your uncle
John, was called home suddenly
yesterday. He was taken i'll in
prayer-nleeting the night previous
and only lived ii short time. He
was conscious to the last. He asked
that his library be given to you.
and his dying request was that you
should become minister of the
Gospel and take up the work where
he left off"

All About the Cow.

The following, says the Hartford
Times, is little girls essay on the
COW: "A COW is an animal with
four legs on the upder side. The
tail is longer than the legs, but is
not used to stand on. The cows
kills flies with her tail. The COW
has big ears that wiggles on hinges;
so does her tail. The COW is bigger
than the calf, but not so big as an
elephant. She is made so small
that she can go into the barn when
nobody is looking. Some COWS are
black and some hook. A dog was
hooked once. She tossed the dog
that killed the cat that worried the
rat. Black cows give white milk;
so do other COWS. Milkmen sell
milk to buy their little girls dresses,
which they put water in and chalk.
Cows chew cuds, and each finds its
own chew. That is all there is
about cows"
