Thoroughly Equipped for Their Duties.

From the Boston Journal.
1t now seems to be accepted as surely as il
can be until an authoritative announcement
comes from Indianapolis, that MIR. Blaine,
Mr.. Allison and MIR. WaHamaker are to have
seats in President Harrison's Cabinet. The
propriety of Mr.. Blaine's appointment as
Secretary OF State has been so often pointed
out that it need not be now repeate !, and
both Senator Allison aud Mr.. Wsnamaker
are. like Mr.. Blaine, distinguished kepubli-
cans who are thoroughly equipped for Cabi-
net positions.

About Champagne.

The quantity Of champagne made 8
Rheims and Epernay, France, is IL
most incredible. A great deal Of non.
sense is written and spoken on this
point. One is gravely told that more
champagne is drunk in Russia alone
than all the vineyards of France could
supply, and that America-well, Amer-
lea gets cider for champagne. The fact
is that it is very difficult to smuggle
champagne into Russia, and every
bottle which goes there is recorded at
the custom house on the frontier, for
the Russian tax is eighty cents bot
tie. England and America consume
more champagne than all the othsr
nations put together, excepting
France. The supply is equal to the
demand, despite the fact that America
imports more champagne every year.
One house in Rheims alone exports
two millions of bottles Of champagne
yearly, all high class wines, TOO.
From the entire champagne district Of
France, there was exported last year
twenty millions Of bottles of cham-
payne, eight millions Of bottles Of
which came to America. -Exchange.

Inquiries extending over a period
of forty years, made Of about three
hundred members Of the Cambridge
and Oxford university crews, insti-
tuted by DR.. Maclaren, director Of the
university gymnasium at Oxford, have
elected facts which may be accepted
as experimental evidence of the, value
Of physical training in class Of cases
in which the conditions Of life are
most favorable, hence afording a test
from which practically every element
except the purely muscular one is
eliminated. The benefits experienced
by members of these crews are stated
to be an increase Of stamina, Of en-
ergy, enterprise and executive power,
and of fortitude in endurance Of trials,
privations and disappointments-"a
goodly list of benefits bearing on the
mental and moral as conspicuously as
on the physical side Of the question, "
says DR.. Maclaren, ''for, in the strug-
gle for existence, failure is more like
~ to result from inability to endure
trials and Disappointment than from
merely physical weakness-the stats
tics of suicide bearing out this state
ment. "-Once a Week.

Which Was Real?

"Ycs, sir; those two diamonds in
the window attract more attention and
comment than the Koh-i-nor would if
it were in their place." said a Broad
way jeweler to Jewelry News re-
porter.
"Those three words, Which is gen.
uiner which I have placed on the card
with them have caused hundreds Of
people to enter the store and repeat
the inquiry to us. The other day two
young men, attired in the latest fash
ion, stood outside for over fifteen
minutes and INDUCED in a heat
ed argument as to which was
genuine. Each claimed with much
confidence that the stone he
named was the only real diamond,
and intimated by various innuendoes
that his companion did not know
what he was talking about. Finally,
a wager Of five dollars was made be-
tween the two, and they both came
inside the store and eagerly asked me
to decide their wager.
Gentlemen said, you can ar.
range between yourselves who is the
winner; all / can tell you is that both
those stones are genuine diamonds.
THE blank look ON those young
mems countenances when they heard
this would have made anybody smile,
and it was several minutes before /
recovered sufficiently to inquire which
was to receive the five dollars"

The largest steam engine in the
world is that constructed for the 1tal-
ian cruiser Sardegna Itreally consists
OF four triple expansion engines
which can be used together or sepa-
ratcly, as desired, the entire combina-
ton being capable Of developing a
force Of $4,000 nominal, or $4,000 &C.
tual horse power. The ship is driven
by twin screws, and two engines are
connected to the shaft of each screw,
but one screw can be stopped all to-
gether if the vessel is to be turned
around. or, for ordinary sailing, one
engine only may be used for each
screw; but, in case it should be neces-
sary to increase the speed, the other
engines can at once be connected and
the full power exerted. As usual with
naval machinery, large number Of
auxiliary engines are used. On the
Sardegna there are no less than twen-
ty compound auxiliary engines for
feeding the boilers, keeping up the
draught and so ON, besides a great
variety of single cyclinder machines.

The Tennessee Fertilizing Com
pany, of Knoxville, Tenn, are be-
fore the people Of Blount County
for their favors again. The Com.
pany handle the Pride of Tennessee,
and Glover Leaf. These two Kings
of Fertilizers have been tested in
the County, and farmers who have
tested them are referred to for wit
nesses a, to their merits. F. NJ.
Watkins was a former agent and
is qualified to speak on the subject.
The freight will only cost $1.OO per
ton to Maryville so that it is well
for farmers to look at this matter
and see to their own interest.
Their present business point is the
old Zinc Works, Knoxville, Tenn.
Write to them or call upon them.
They will probably have an agent

An American Woman.

A Boston lady, knowing that the
translation Of Dante had just then APP
peared, and having heard that the aged
monarch (the king of Saxony) was
proud of his literary ability, had a
good opportunity Of abiding to his
chef d'euvre, which she Immediately
seized. The king addressed her in
turn, saying: "You are from Ameri
ca, / believe. I think have seen you
in the Crosse Garten. Why have
you not been presented beforel" II
am from America, sire" she replied,
where we have no kings. l have
waited for the proper time to be intro
duced to your majesty; and now may
l be permitted. as an American, to saw
that I feel it less al honor to be pre-
sented to the king Of Saxony than to
'Philistrates, the translator Of Dante,
whom trust may be allowed to con
graduate on the successful achieve
ment Of the work" The king had
published the TRANSLATION under the
above sobriquet He was much pleas
ed with the compliment thus bestowed,
laughed with delight and said the lady
had been prompt in examining the
new publicatiOn.-Boston Post

We have in the case Of electric
waves along a wire q disturbance out
side the wire and a current within Il
and the equations of Maxwell allow
US to calculate these with perfect -.
curacy and give all the laws with ~
spect to them.
We thus find that the velocity q
propagation of the waves along w11e,
hung Far away from other bodies and
made of good conducting material,
is that Of light, or 1856, 900 miles PER
second; but When it is hung near any
conducting matter, like the earth, 81
inclosed in cable and sunk into ~
sea, the velocity becomes much -
When hung in space, away I'm
other bodies, it forms, as it were, tho
core Of a system of waves in the ethor,
the amplitude Of the disturbance -.
coming less and less as we move away
from the wire. But tho most curio6a
fact is that the electric current pono-
trates only a short distance into the
wire, being mostly confined to ~

of oscillations per second is w
great. A. Rowland.

Curious rransmittal of Scarlet Peve,

=
In 1916 a boy of years, the brother
of the narrators wife, was taken down
with scarlet fever and died. One of
the principal amusements Of his ILL
ness had been looking over large
picture book. After his death this,
with several other useful playthings,
was packed away in trunk. Twenty.
six years later, in 1872, the sister-in-
law Of the editor took this trunk with
her on a journey which she made to
England, where he was then residing.
The trunk was opened the second day
after its arrival and the picture book
was taken out and presented to the
editors 2-year-old son. During the
next fortnight the kttle fellow was at
tackled by scarlet fever. It was won
der to the doctors who were called in
consultation how the disease had been
contracted, as there had been no scar
let fever in the town for years. AT
last it occurred to the editor that the
picture book might have transmitted
the disease, and the medical men in
attendance, ON being told the facts
connected with it, agreed that it had
retained the poison for twenty-six
years and communicated it to the
child.-Boston Post.
