ton in eating small nails, below four pen
MES, has been conceded by the men at the
Laugblin works, over the river, by special
permission of the Amslgamated AS ocia-

have been discussed in other mills across
the river, the figures alleged to be asked
by the manufacturers being 30 per cent. on
hot nails and so per cent. on cold. The
reason assigned is inability TO compete, at
present rates, with mills at Honton and
Ashland.
Before the scale Convention the nailers
will insist upon the present scale all around.

NoNel LAW SUIT
CHICAGO. April "a novel suit las
Just been decided by Judge Clifford, after
a litigation lasting several years in d'ffsr-
ent courts. The case was that of Sorosia
S. Alexander an elderly spins,er Of Brat
tieborc, VI, against the estate OF E S.
Alexander her brother, a wealthy Chica-
goan, now deceased. The litigation grew
out of alleged breaches Of agreements
made by the deceased with his sister up
ward or twenty years ago According to
the statements made by Miss Alexander
and the numerous witnesses, whose depO-
sinons were taken iu Boston and other
Massachusetts, cities, she was, az the time
OF making the hrst agreement, teacher
of music Of acknowledged reputation and
ability.
Her brother was anxious TO have her re-
turn 20 the house OF their sged parents in
Brat,leboro. which he though. needed her
care. He offered to pay her 81 600 a wear,
or as much she could earn by teaching

old folks. She accepted, and for a number
of years took care of them. About three
or four years be fore the death other brother

marry and leave her parents, but to stay
with them lie agIesd TO pay her an ad-
ditioaal 81 900 ST she would remain with
her parents as long IS they lived.
With this promise before her she "ship-
ped' her lover and the wedding WAS de-
clared off, Miss Alexander remained an
ola maid and cared for her father and
mother iu their declining years. Up his
death Alexander did rot even keep his
promise TO pay his sister the 81 600 a year
he bsi sgreei TO psy her, and, except q
few mall sums of money which she used
ior the common house support of herself
aud parents, she receiving nothing.
Alexander made Go provision in his will
for the payment of the 81 600 a year, or Of
the $4,000 promised her. She filed her
claim against the estate. bnt it was disal-
lowed by the Probate Court and an appeal
was taken to the Circui, Court.
The case was before Judge Clifford, and,
upon the evidence, a verdict was given for
Sfl. 500 against TIE estate in favor Of Mise

A Floating Light.

A very pretty effect may be produced
by causing a candle to burn while AL
most immersed in water in tumbler.
The experiment is very simple. Insert
nail, not too heavy, in the lower end
of short candle, in order to make
that end heavier, and place the whole
in glass containing enough water to
reach the upper edge Of the candle
without wetting the wick. At first
thought nothing seems stranger than
to expect candle to be entirely con-
sumed in such situation, but it is
simple enough. As the candle burns
it grows lighter and lighter, and rises
gradually as it dimipishes in length, SO
that the lighted end always remains
above the surface of the water. More
over, the outside of the candle, being
cooled, will melt much more slowly
than usual, and the flame will make a
little hollow in the center. This hollow
place also helps in making the candle
float, and preserves the wick from
contact with the water. Thus the can
die will continue to burn in it's strange
candlestick until the wick is entirely
consumed.

Advice to an Aspiring Poet.

Never write poem beginning Abou
Ben any thing.
Keep your hair cut.
Don't write poetry unless forced to
do so either by hunger OF by the enthusi-
asm of your muse.
Do not be cast down because you re-
ceiye $3.50 instead of $3.50 for your first
effort.
If possible avoid rhyming "castanet'
with "piano-forte," "frolic" with "cow-
lie" or Niagara with "Tipperary."
Don't call on the editor any oftener
than you can help; and don't feel hurt
if he saws he is out. He frequently says
that without meaning it.
Never despise work that comes your
way unsolicited. Writing advertise
ments is profitable vocation; they are
sure to be printed, and are much more
popular with the masses than odes,
sonnets, or French forms.
1t is bad plan to copy one of By
ron's short poems and sign your name
to it.
II you have three sections to your
name connect the last two by means Of
a hyphen, and the first to the winds,
if you wish to; hut do not try to gain
admission to the Authors Club on the
strength of this proceeding alone
