appears that the seat OF this remarkable
family was at Tarbes, in the Depart

last survivor, Joseph Ritas, has depart
ed this life at the comfortable age of
11S years. Ritas was born in Spain on
August 81, 177O. His father lived to
the age of Ill years, and his brother
died Il few years ago at the age OF Hi.
The mother and paternal uncle of Ritas

THE BEST PROTECTION.
How Young Mechanics Can Fortify Them.

How Young Mechanics Can Fortify Them.
selves Against Competition.
The day is at hand when intelligent
and educated mechanics are in demand,
not perhaps as workmen on the COM
mon classes of work, for that is gener-
ally done by specialists in that particu-
lar line; but in these days of great and
constantly increasing new and i'm
proved designs in mechanisms, there
is call for class of workmen capa-
BILE of designing and working out these
new ideas, or developing those that
have been designed by others.
There are to-day, in almost every
large shop at least, a large number of
men employed who are perhaps good
workmen, or even experts in a special
line, but who know very little of the
business in general way. These same
men are taking the places of the more
experienced all-around men, because
they have spent their time in perfect
ing themselves in particular line, and
as rule will sell their services for
much less than the man who had taken
the time to perfect himself as a ma
chinist.
In order to protect himself against
this class of ''cheap labor" the young
man who is ambitious to rise in the
world of mechanics must fortify him
self against their encroachment behind
wall of superiority, slsillfulness and
progression, and by his superior ability
to meet the demands of the age of pro-
gression, create u new field for his la
bOrs and make his services so valuable
that he may command price that will
enable him to feel repaid for the effort
1t has cost.
There is very little encouragement
for u young man to spend three or four
years learning a trade, only to find
when he is ready to accept of a job
that he must take his chances with
others who have spent very little time,
but can perform one single branch OF
work as we'll as he.
The country is overhowing with these
specialists, men of no character or
ability or ambition, who are yet able
to earn much more in this way than
they are able to do ut any other trade,
and yet are not sufficiently proficient
to demand the pay Of a thorough ma
chinist.
1t Is fact, which there is no gain
saying, that this class has done much
to lower the standing and prospects
Of able and thoroughly practical men,
and to lessen their prospects of gaining
respectable livelihood.--A. y. Grimes.

This ballot is printed on the inside
pages of q folded sheet, SO that when
the voter has marked the names as
above indicated the ballot is folded up
and is so passed in to be deposited in
the ballot-box. There are many pro-
visions of the law to adapt the ma
chinery of voting to this system, but it
is not necessary to mention them here.
What has been said is enough to show
general public, the important thing.
Now what will be gained by this
change of system, in the interest of
purity of elections and good politicsP
Many things. First, there can be no
ballot-box stuffing, since each voter
will receive only one ballot, and that
one will be numb cred.
Secondly, the ballot will be really
secret, as it ought to he, and every
voter will be free from intimidation.
Again, each voter will be secured
against the fraud of forged and pur-
posely incorrect ballots, and a heavy
blow will be dealt to the practice of
trading off one part of the ticket
against another, which is one of the
worst forms of electoral corruption by
party 'workers."
Once more, the corruption of ballot
distributors and workers at the polls
will be destroyed completely, and men
may hope to vote freely and in peace.

THE BADGERS HABITS.
A Peculiar Quadruped which Lives in a
Peculiar Way.

WHys
The badger, which is known rs the
brock in the north OF England, has
some curious ways of life. The author
OF IA Month in Mayo" notes some of
the more interesting OF these habits.
1t is commonly believed in that part OF
the country that he lays up Il heap OF
provender for the winter.

cocks, ut the entrance OF their holes.
with the sand in which the animal gen.
orally burrows, and. | have no doubt,
constitutes his last seasons bed; for the
badger is u cleanly animal, and sleep
ing, as he does, much in the winter,
prefers clean sheets when he retires to
winter quarters. The track of n badger
is invariable In a straight line. If you
stand on an eminence you may trace
him for miles over the mountains in one
undertaking straight line, which might
have been laid down by an engineer, so
perfect is its accuracy.
Mr.. st. Johns old keeper was sitting
on u hillock about three o'clock one
morning in the beginning of May,
watching quietly few wild geese which
he had discovered feeding in a field not
very far off, but out of shot. In this
hillock was badgers hole. Presently
he heard grunt behind him, which he
took for that of u pig; and looking
around he saw, standing in clover
field close to him, an immensely large
badger, whose object seemed to be to
get into a hole on the hillock. TO reach
this the badger had no alternative bu
to pass close to the mans legs. Aftel
they had looked at each other for some
time in this way, the badger at last ut
tering most ill-natured kind of grunt
suddenly put his nose to the ground
and passing close to the keeper made {
rush to the hole, with ull his hair stand
ing on end, and showing his teeth in 81

take away all presence of mind from
the old fellow; so much so, indeed, tina
he neither shot at him nor obstructe'
his free entrance to the hole in an,

How to Prevent Forging.

There is no driver of a horse but that
has felt the annoyance that results from
forging, or the striking of the forward
shoes by the hind ones in travelling,
and yet this can be prevented. The
occasion of the forging is, the hind feet
are thrown forward and strike the for
ward or front feet before they can get
out of the way, II result OF the action OF
the horse, which must be corrected,
which is explained in ARTISTIC Horse
Shoeing," and which is accomplished
by using heavy toe-weight shoe on
the front feet to make the horse reach
further. After the front shoe has been
nailed ON, take rule and measure the
distance from the coronet to tho bottom
part of the toe, observing the slant OF
the foot. Measuring the hind foot in
the same way, in most cases 1t will be
found to be from one-quarter to one
inch the shortest, and the shorter the
foot the quicker it can be raised. Now,
by placing the shoe upon the hind foot
SO that the toe will project enough to
make the distance from the coronet to
the bottom of the toe the same as in
the forward foot, and then let the shoe
project we'll behind, making 1t little
heavy, the foot will not be raised us
high. 1t will not be thrown as far for
ward, and SO forging win be prevented.
This is a simple procedure, and one
that can be ordered by any farmer who
Is troubled with forging in his horses,
and, il found successful, will save an
unnecessary annoyance. Ger0santoS''

Peculiarities in the Gaze of Various Mas
ters of the Muse.
1t would seem, indeed, that it is by
the eye, the eloquent and radiant ex-
preston of the eye the poet may at once
be known. Every body recalls the poet
eye of Robert Burns. "It was large" :"
says Sir Walter Scott, "and of cast
which glowed Il say literally gloeced)
when he spoke with feeling or interest
never saw such another eye in a hui
man head, though have seen the most
distinguished men of my time" And
so says Prof. Walker: I'm his large
dark eye the most striking index of his
genius resided" 1t was said Of the
eyes of Chatterton, the marvellous boy
who perished in his pride" that "fire
rolled at the bottom of them" And
Moore tells us that Byron's, though of
light gray, were capable of all
extremes of expression, from mirth to
melancholy, from benevolencc to scorn
or rage.
AS for Shelley, his blue eyes were
very large and prominent. "They
were at times, when he was abstracted,
as he often was in contemplation, dull,
and, as it were, insensible to external
objects; at others they flashed with the
fire of intelligence" In the face of
Scott there was not much, think, to
indicate the author of ''Marmion" and
"Waverly," though it wore general
expression of power and resolution; but
he had fine eyes-eyes so keen that, as
his little son said, it was commonly he
who saw the hare sitting" To refer to
Goldsmith, his eyes were the redeeming

Il can not truthfully be denied that the
Burlington Route, c.. b. q Q. Il. r., is do
ing an extensive business, both passenger
and freight. or the first named branch of
its service the Chicago Herald recently said,
in speaking of the occasion of the National
Republican Conventions: "Thc Burlington
Road probably brought in more people than
any other. Altogether it is estimated that
from June 16 to 10, the period of the excur-
sion rates, over $4,000 strangers came to
Chicago over the Burlington" This was
exclusive of suburban passengers and
mostly in addition to its heavy regular pass
enger traffic. In receipts of live stock, the
Union Stock Yards Reports show the Bur
lington to be far in the lead. The average
number of cars brought in by 1t during the
first six months of the years 1856, 1887 and
1888 is 26, 6,140; and the number for the first
half of the year 1883, Notwithstanding the
temporary depression caused by the rccen,
great strike on its lines, was 24,425, or but
little below the average. The latter figure
also represents about "a per cent. of the
total number of cars, 1902 ,413, brought to the
Yards for the last half year, being more
than six per cent. in excess of the receipts
by any other road.

How Old Hickory Got the Name Which
Made Him Popular.
The sobriquet, "Old Hickory" is
said to have been conferred upon
General jackson by the soldiers under
his command in 1918. 1t was, Mr.. Par
ton tells us, not an inspiration, but a
growth. "First of all, the remark was
made by some soldier who was struck
by his commander's.pedestrian powers,
that the General was tough" Next it
was observed that he was tough as
hickory. Then he was called hickory
Lastly the affectionate adjective old
was prefixed, and the General thence.
forth rejoiced in the complete nick
name, usually the first won honor of a
great commander" The General, how.
ever, is said to have told the following
story of the origin of the epithet to one
of his messmates: During the Creek
war, when he was suffering from a bad
cold, his officers improvised a tent for
him covered with flakes OF hickory
bark, under which he slept comfortably.
Next morning drunken hanger-on of
the camp came across the tent, and
not knowing who was in it, gave it q
kick that tumbled the structure over.
AS the angry old hero struggled out of
the ruins, the topper cried out: "Hello!
Old Hickory! Come out of your bark
and join us in a drink" The General
could not himself help joining in the
laughter at the incident. AS he rose
and shook the bark from him he looked
so tough and stern that the spectators
gave him hearty "Hurrah for Old
Hickory!" and the name clung to him
ever after.-Notes and Queries.

Evolution Of the Dinner Pail.

The original dinner pail was COM
mon little tin pail with cover. Meat,
bread, pie, pickles and all other solids
were put in it together and no liquids
could be taken unless in a bottle. Then
somebody devised q pail with two COM
partments, one pail fitting into another,
and one Of them for coffee. Then some
other genius got up q pail with four or
six parts, all fitting into each other
and making 1t possible to carry four or
six articles separate from each other
All this was discounted by the fellow
who got up pail In which the coffee
could be heated by alcohol at an ex-
pense OF cent. A warming compart-
ment was got up by another man by
the use of water and hme, In which
the former was made to slake the lat
ter, some heat being the result. In
other complicated dinner pals lamps
are fitted for supplying the convenient
heat ct dinner time. e.-0eod Hsusekeep-

WEAVING LAMBS.
How to Do 1t Properly and Without In
jury to tho Young Animals.

How to Do 1t Properly and Without In
jury to tho Young Animals.
Lambs are usually weaned about
August 1, and it requires some thought
to do it properly. When separated
from the ewes they will worry less if
retained in the field where they are ac-
customed to run and the ewes removed
out of hearing. For few days the
lambs should be confined in a covered
Enclosure and fed a little hay and grain
and then be turned out to pasture to-
ward evening, to be taken up again
next morning; otherwise the worry, the
loss of their milk diet and the annoy
ance of flies will cause them to shrink
visibly and it is always bad to have
growth checked. The ewes should be
turned into clean" pasture until dried
up, and they should be examined every
day, for it might be necessary to relieve
the udders of some by milking.
Many allow the lambs to run with
their mothers continuously, but it is an
unwise practice. The latter need to be
freed from maternal cares. whether
they are to go to the shambles or be
retained for production. Sheep do not
feed in the middle of hot, sunny days
when flies bother. but lie huddled il,
fence corners or under shrubs and trees,
or any spot where they can get even
their heads in the shade. 1t would be
blessing to them if they could have
access to roomy sheds, somewhat dark
ened. 1t is to be hoped that somebody
will invent a sheep-shed on wheels that
one team could remove from field to
field as occasion might require. Cor
