Diamond Covered Boots.


Few persons would think of looking for
fresh knowledge in the simple blacking of a
boot, but it is nevertheless most interest
ing subject.
f'Did it ever occur to you," said chemist,
"what remarkable and unique process the
blacking of boot isa Yo' see, we smear the
boot with PREPARATION of bone black, which
is entirely devoid of luster, and then, by the
friction of dry brush, make it shine like the
sun. There is not another process like this
anywhere in the arts, SO far as know, and
never read anywhere any scientific explana-
ton of the process. have q theory of my
own, however, which will give you for
what il ia worth.
'sThe key to the mystery lies in fact that
diamond is nothing more than crystallized
carbon The blaoking is little more carbon
paste, and the friction of a hair brush being
one of the most efficient methods for generat-
ing electricity has the effect of crystallizins
the carbon of the blacking. AS soon as this
is done the boot is covered with millions of
infinitely small diamonds, aud, of course, be-
gins to shine as a mass of diamonds would
OF course this is not perfect explanation of
the phenomenon. What part the other in
gradients of the blscking play, and especially
why il is that the blacking must be moisten-
ed, cannot tell; perhaps some ene else can.
But I feel pretty sure that the bootblseks are
engaged turning blaeking into diamonds."-

When President Cleveland stirred up the
country with his free trade message he de-
clared that there would be surplus of $140,-
000, 900 July of this year, and that the an
nual excess of revenues over expenditures
would not run short of $50, 600. 900. This
was t'the condition that confronted us" and
in order to rescue the country he proposed
revision of the tariff as "the vicious, inequit-
able and illogical source of unnecessary taxa
ton"
The condition that now confronts us Is not
exactly the condition that confronted us in
Cleveland's mind. In round numbers the ap-
propristions passed, or pending in conference
and on the way to certain adoption, are as
follows: Army, Navy, Indian, Diplomatic and
Consular, Pension, Legislative and judicial.
Postofice, Military Academy, River and

from the failure of the last Democratic house
to appropriate the absolutely necessary
amounts for the known requirements of the
public ssrvics-$1, 1897 900; public buildings
and miscellaneous relief bills-$5, ,636, 600;
all of which with the smaller details, herein
omitted. added thereto) make total pros

increase of $64, ,0s4, ,73O over the Appropria-

of $12, ,294. .213, which, If the Mills bill should
prss, would be converted into q deficiency OF
more than $50, 600, ,O0O...
As the New York Tribune remarks, q more
comicaI situation was never known in Amer
loan politics than the present plight of the
Democrats party respecting the surplus.
| Last December the President portrayed the
country as on the verge of siudiscribabls dis
aster in consequence of that appalling sur
plus. Every free trader that addressed the
House banked upon the surplus, fguratively
speaking, in order to have his drafts upon
the credulity of the country liquidated. The
surplus has been the pretext for this entire
campaign against American industry. Mean

appropriations until there is an increase oi

The French physiologist DIR. Dastre has
been making curious experiments with am
imals with the object of determining the
cause of seasiokness. The creatures have
been subjected to various kinds of motion,
corresponding to the rolling and pitching of
vessels. DR.. Dastre found on examination
that the intestines were thereby strangely
displaced and violently thrown against the
diaphragm, and he presumes that similar
disturbance produces seasickness on board
of ship. To counteract this irritation, DR..
Regnault Is stated to have administered CO.
caine with excellent results. Another
French physician, who attributes seasickness
to the same cause as DR.. Dastre, reports that
he has discovered two infaliable preventa-
tives, one mixture of atropine and strych-
nine and the other caffeine.
A traveller from Iceland says that the peo-
pie of that country are 80 honest that crime
is almost unknown. They never lock their
doors, and but two cases of thieving are
known to have taken place within many
years. One was an Icelander who had
broken his arm and whose family in the
winter were suffering for food. He stole
several sheep and was finally detected. He
was at once put under special medical care
for his Injury, provisions were furnished for
his family, and in time he was given work.
That was his punishment. The other ease
was a German who stole seventeen sheep.
He was in comfortable circumstances and
the theft was malicious. His punishment
was to sell all his property, restore the value
Of his thefts and leave the country, or be ex-
ecuted. He left at once.
A Paris philanthropist induced number
of generous merchants, manufacturers and
tradespeople to take into their employment
such unemployed men as he should send
with letters of recommendation Then he
advertised for men out of work, got together
great throng, talked to them of the dignity of
labor, the blessings or economy, the dangers
of intemperance, and then directed them to
call for letters of recommendation which
would put them in the way of getting work
at the minimum rate of eighty cents a day.
Immediately more than half of his throng of
727 unemployed men disappeared, and that
was the last he saw of them. OF the re-
nainder some took letters and never pre-
sented them; some worked half day and
then wanted the wages at that time, and at
the end of three days only eighteen men were
at their posts, and these were all genuine ar
tisans and lsborers.

WashIM@Som fn 1871.

from the Magazine OF American History1
The following extract from q letter writ
ten by Abbe Robin, chaplain in the French
army in America, and bearing date "Camp
Of Phillipsburg, August 4th, 1884," a few
weeks after his arrival Ia this country, is
very suggestive. This letter was the first of
a series of thirteen letters from the abbe
while In America which were published in
Paris in 1869. He writes:
'tI have seen General Washington, that
most singular man, the soul and support of
one of the greatest revolutions that has ever
happened or can happen. fixed my eyes
upon him with that keen attention which
the sight of great man always inspires
We naturally entertain a secret hope of
discovering in the features of such illustri-
GUS persons some traces of that genius which
distinguishes them from, and elevates them
above, their fellow mortals.
perhaps the exterior of no man was bet
ter calculated to crafty these expectations
than that of General Washington. He is of
q tall and noble stature, well proportioned, q
fine, cheerful, open countenance, simple
and honest carriage, and his whole lnien has
something in it that interests the French, the
American and even enemies themselves in
his favor. Placed in q military view at the

/ destitute of vigor, where the climate and
4 manners can add but little to their energy,
where the spirit of party, private interest,
slowness and national Incidence slacken, sus-
pend and overthrow the best concerted meas-
ures; although SO situated, he has found out
a method of keeping his troops in the most
absolute subordination, making them rivals
in praising him; fearing him when he is si-
lent and retaining their full confidence in
him after defeats and disgrace. His reputa-
tion has at length arisen to most brilliant
height; and he may now grasp at the most
unbounded power without provoking envy
or exciting suspicion. He has ever shown
himself superior to fortune, and in the most
trying adversely has discovered resources un-
til then unknown; and, as if his abilities
only increased and dilsted at the prospect of
difficulty, he is never better supplied than
when he seems destitute of everything nor
have his arms ever been SO fatal to his enc
mies as at the very instant when they thought
they had crushed him forever. It is his to
excite spirit of heroism and enthusiasm in
people who are by nature very little sus-
eept1ble OF it; to gain over the respect and
homage of those whose interest it is to refuse
it, and to execute his plans and projects by
means unknown even to those who are his
Instruments; he is intrepid in dangers, yet
never seeks them, but when the good of the
country demands it, preferring rather to tenn
porize and act upon the defensive, because
the genius and circumstances of the nation,
and all that he and they may have to expect
depends upon time, fortitude and patience;
he is frugal and sober in regard to himself,
but profuse in the public cause; like Peter
the Great, he has by defeat conducted his
army to victory; and like Fabius, but with
fewer resources and more difficulty, he has
conquered without fighting and saved his
country.
''Such are the ideas that arise in the mind
at the sight of this great man, in examining
the events in which he had a share, or in lis
tening to those whose duty obIiges them to
be near his person, and consequently best to
display his character. In all these extensive
States they consider him in the light of
bene6cent god dispensing peace and happi-
ness around him. Old men, women and
children press around him when he acciden-
tally passes along and think themselves hap.
py, once in their lives, to have seen him.
They follow him through the towns with
torches aud celebrate his arrival with public
illuminations. The Americans, that cool
and sedate people, who in the midst of their
most trying difficulties and impulses of the
plain methods and common sense, are reused,
animated and infsmed at the very mention
of his name, and the first songs that senti-
ment or gratitude has dictated have been to
celebrate General Washington"

Petroleum in the ordinary form is very
disagreeable stuff, and the Ohio oil, particu-
larly, is very malodorous. Chemists have
been experimenting for long time to find e
process of solidifying petroleum and thus
making it more handiIy portable. DR..
Kaufman, German chemist, appears to
have solved the problem. He turns the
petroleum into cakes like soap, which, though
not readily kindled, burn smoothly and leave
but trife of ash. If this process is inex-
pensive the discovery is one of world wide

"A government which constantly raises

embarks in lavish expenditures for the
sake of spending The surplus-that gov

duce carnival of rascalty in our public

Carl Schmz's Letter.
A government that would allow Eng
land to step in with her pauper-labor
goods to supplant the goods made by the
well-paid labor of this country, thereby
destroying our industrial resources, de-
serves of nothing but the severest con-
demnation from the people of America,
and the government seeking result of
this kind should be hurled from power.
Such practice continued for any length
of time would reduce the workingman and
mechanic here, to the condition of the
same classes in Europe, producing "a
carnival of poverty, distress and hard
times. Neither government nor people
would under these circumstances have
any surplus, which Mr.. Schurz, we sup
pose, would construe as a great blessing
sin our public affairs" The rascality of
the Tweed regime in New York seems
terrible in the eyes of Mr.. Schurz, but
many people in New York consider that
the worst man in the "rascality" business,
is District-Attorney Fellows, who was SO
Handsomely endorsed by Mr.. Cleveland.
But Mr.. Schnrz, in his Innocence and
virtue" feels ne compunction in endorsing
