eeen discarded, as too heavy and costly.
The cleaning Of soda water bottles is
more carefully done. Here warm water
is used, and the workman manipulates a
four pronged tool that looks like fork.
Each prong is mounted with stiff blade
of India rubber, of such shape that when
the prong is thrust into the bottle the
rubber blade reaches the inner side of the
bottle. In front OF the workman is a
cocoa mat. The bottles are filled, the
prongs thrust in, and then the four bot
ties at once are rolled across the mat.
This serves double purpose. The mat
cleans the outside of the bottle, and the
rolling brings the whole inside of the bot
tie IN contact with the rubber blade. A
few vigorous rolls cleans the bottle thor
oughly, and then il is rilsed and ready
for use.
Still another process is used for lager
beer bottles. which require even more
vigorous washing. This is done by a
machine with revolving spindles, on
which are placed rubber brushes The
bottle Is thrust over the spindle, which is
run by steam, and running water carries

thorough internal securing.
1t is, in fact, an essential element of
success in the bottling business to keep
the bottles clean, and no manufacturer
who expects to keep his custom would
dare neglect the essential element Of
cleanliness. The element of cost prevents,
if no other considerations could do SO, the
slow and tedious method of cleaning bot
ties with shot. There was bottle wash
ing machine in use here not long ago
which cleansed bottles with revolving
bristle brushes, but the wear and tear Of
bristles was found to be too expensive,
although the work done was very effec-
tive. The substitution Of Rubber blades
for the bristles proves to be cheaper and
quite as thorough.
A much better way than the use Of
shot for cleaning bottles is to put small
piece of iron chain with small links into
the bottles with some water. This, when
ratified about, will clean bottle well OF
course, if bottle has been filled with any
greasy substance, the only way to clean
it thoroughly is with strong aIkali, and
this is done by all careful bottlers.-New

The olexicans Not Lazy.

The Mexican people seem to be an In
dustrious race, whether of the Spanish or
Aztec branches. Old people and young
children work. Some one has said, they
have to or starre" This is as trse on
them as it is of Us. I am inclined to be-
Eeve they work more willingly and cheer
fully for pittance than would our own
people, or than do the colonel population
Ct the south. which, In some respects,
greatly resembles the peonage Of uexico.

Destruction Wrought by Insects in Ameri

Destruction Wrought by Insects in America
The annual loss to productive industries
in the United States caused by insects is
estimated at $3.50, 100000. Here is a
fair battle between man and another sort
Of earth occupiers. They are smaller,
but if they can whip us, have IN
doubted as good right to the world as
we have. As civilization advances new
insects make their appearance. marching
sometimes eastward. but generally west
ward. There are few, If any, forms of
vegetation that have no parasites that de-
your either foliage or fruit. The loss to
the cotton crop is estimated at SIS, 900. 900
q year, while that to the apple crop is not
much less, and that TO the potato crop at
least one half as much. But the estimate
is not a fair one until into the loss is
counted the time spent in fighting to Sc
cure the proportion that is aved.-Scien-

tective system had enabled the Gov.

tective system had enabled the Gov
ernment to perfect a system oi
finance, which was the marvel of the
age. 1t had fostered industries. built
up manufactures and opened up a
wilderness. 1t had dignifed labor
and educated the people. 1t had
made the flag of our country typify
all that was great in human action,
all that was grand in human thought,
and God only knows what it would do
for our land if the Democratic party
would let it alone.
Landes, of Illinois, submitted an
argument in support of the bill, and
in opposition to the protective theory.
While heartily advocating the bill he
regretted that it touched whisky and
tobacco, the taxes on which, instead
of being reduced should be, he
thought, increased.
The Committee then rose, and the
House took a recess until 8 p. NJ, the
evening session to be for the consid-
Grafton of private pension bills.
The House this evening passed
seventeen pension bills, and at 10 80
adjourned.

His Holiness Condemns the Irish
Campaign and Boycotting.
LONDON, April 26.-The statement
that the Pope has issued decree COM
demning the plan of campaign in Ire
land is confirmed. His Holiness says
he does SO because he is ccnvinced
that the land courts will reduce al

that influenced him, he says, is the
fact that funds are extorted for con-
tributions to the plan.
The Pope condemns boycotting as .
practice contrary to justice and char
ity. He makes no mention of the
National Leagne.

highly to avail myself OF this invita-
tion, but very much to my regret my
engagements at this time will not al
low me the privilege"
Colonel Jos. s. Mosby-I regret ]
cannot be with you on this occasion
to add my tribute to the memory oi
the illustrious soldier who now sleeps
at Riverside and who on the eve oi
his death said "We are on the eve of a
new era when there is to be great
harmony between Federals and Con-
federates. l cannot stay to be living
witness of the correctness of this
prophecy, but feel within me that it
is to be So" Let us hope that the last
prediction of General Grant will be
fulfilled.
General Sherman, in introducing
the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew to res
pond to the only formal toast, "The
day we celebrate" touched briefly
upon two or three points. He touched
upon the arrival Of General Grants
grandfather in Connecticut in 1749
upon Grants fathers removal to the
South upon Grants birth at Point
Pleasant, Ohio, sixty-six years ago /;
upon his appearance at West Point,
where, much to his surprise,
he found himself registered as
Ulysses S. Grant and where for the
first time he made his subsequently
| famous signature gu. S. Grant"
General Sherman continued: "In
1889, Washington became President
and Congress, without any army, with
any preparations, as they usually
do, passed bill to make him Lieut..
General of the United States. Washing
ton never took the oath of General
of the Army OF the United States, and
if you will look up the papers of that
day you will see that he was buried
as Lieutenant General. There
never have been in this country but
two Generals-Grant and Sherman
prolonged applausel and three Lieu
tenant Generals - Washington, Scott
and Sheridan.
General Sheridan then introduced
Depew, who proceeded to deliver a
brilliant grafton. He compared
and contrasted President Lin
coin and General Grant. He
said that each was necessary to
the success of the other, and both to
the restoration of the Union. No
other soldier was so fit for the work to
be done in the field, and no other
man than President Lincoln would
have had the masterful stamina to
withstand the demands of the country
for Grants withdrawal. " The
speaker touched upon the gener-
GUS recognition of General Sherman's
great abilities evinced by General
Grant, OF Grants interposition when
President johnson wanted to punish
those who had been in rebellion. In
view of the association of Mr.. De-
pew's name with the Republican
Presidential nomination, the following
sentence from his speech seemed sig
nifcant: SIT is notable fact
that though we are the only purely
industrial nation; we have never
selected our rulers from among the
great business men of the country,
and the conditions and prejudice Of
their success present inseparable OBJ
stacles to such a choice"
Other speeches were made by Gen
eral Malone, Colonel r. G. Ingersoll,
Judge Pierrepont, General Noble. OF
Missouri, and others.

ARKANSAS EXECUTIONS.
Fort SMITH, Ark, April 27.-Three
men, Jack Grow, George Moss and
Owen D. Hill, were hanged this
morning for crimes committed in the
Indian Territory. All the men were
negroes with Indian blood. The
crime for which Moss was hanged
was the murder of George Taft, a man
of prominence in the Chickasaw Ma
tion, last fall in the Red River valley.
Taft, while out looking after cattle,
met Moss, Dick Butler, Factor Jones
and Sandy Smith. They had just
shot yearling and fearing Taft would
report the matter to the Citizens
Committee, they ambushed and shot
him. Butler and Jones were lynched
on the way to Jail, and Smith died
pending his trial.

of Charles Wilson, a prominent Choc-
taw politician, during the last election
excitement. Hill was convicted OF
