Northern HEMP Culture.

The subject of hemp culture is draw.
ing the serious attention of farmers in
the Northern States. At present hemp
is chiefly grown in kentucky, Missouri
and Tennessee, or on the rich bottom
lands. Recent occurrences in the jute
bag trade have drawn attention to the
culture of our native product. Hemp
will make cord for binding grain quite
strong enough, and hempen bagging will
cover cotton bales as well as that made
from jute. The culture of hemp and its
manufacture into bagging and twine
will be double gain; we shall have the
material and have the money formerly
sent abroad for these materials. A few
years ago the Dutch farmers of Eastern
Pennsylvania grew the flax, which was
spun and woven by their wives and
daughters into grain bags, wagon covers
and domestic sheeting; and there are few
more thrifty people than these same
farmers. One of these coarse linen bags
was good for twenty-five years service
without repair, which is ten times that of
the fiimsy gunnY cloth and cotton bags
now in use. 1t is to be hoped that the
culture of hemp, and its manufacture,
may be largely increased.-New YorA
Times

to the injury of the tone. Iron and steel
have been found the least suitable, owing
to the harsh, disagreeable sounds which
they alone are capable of producing,
while silver and gold, incapable of pro-
ducing the full, clear tones requisite in a
bell. People talk of the 'silver tinkling
of bell NowN the fact is that if bell
were made of silver there would be very
little tinkling.
The tone of bell is the result of its
vibrations. When struck bell changes
shape, and these changes constitute the
vibrations. At one moment bell is an
oval, with its longest diameter at exactly
right angles to the position of its longest
diameter at the preceding instant. The
number of vibrations in bell in a given
time varies directly as the square of thick
ness, and inversely as the bells diameter,
or as the cube root of its weight. The
number of changes which can be played
upon a chime of bells is wonderful.
Twelve bells will allow no less than 49,
091 900 changes. York CONNER

Men and Things in Liberia.

Henry w. Grimes, ex-Attorney- Gen
eral, of Liberia, Africa, arrived in New
York city recently, from that young
republic. He is bright young colored
man, West Indian by birth, and is full
of information about his adopted country,
to which he is warmly attached. But
while enthusiastic about its future Mr.
Grimes does not hesitate to point out de-
fects in the Liberian Government when
he finds them. "The country is advanc-
ing steadily" he remarked, in discussing
its affairs, but the people are ahead of
the Government. Our Government, as
you are perhaps aware, i. modelled after
that of the United States, only we elect a
President every two years instead of four
This is too often. The Government is
hampered also from the lack of good,
able men as public officials. The salaries
are small, and men of ability prefer to
engage in other pursuits that are more
lucrative. But all this will be remedied
in time, of course.
"The country is improving rapidly in
agriculture. Over 1000, 600 pounds of
coffee was exported from our county,
Montserrade, last year. Our exports of
ginger, arrowroot, etc., are increasing
rapidly. We need better means of trans
poltation, though, very much. The
roads are poor and there are no railroads
whatever Nearly all transportation is
by water, and this is slow, toiIsome and
expensive. There is fine field for Amer
lean enterprise. Concessions for railroads
could be obtained, and legitimate invest
ments would find good returns. There
are no revolutions to be feared. The
people are peaceable and law abiding"
In answer to question about the pro-
gress of Christianity, Mr.. Grimes replied:
''It is not gaining ground as rapidly as l
should like to see it. The Mahometan
missionary is more successful. He comes
into village with perhaps nothing but
mat. On this he sits and instructs people
that there is one God and Mahomet is His
prophet.
"The climate is healthful, the tempera-
ture ranging between seventy and eighty
degrees, seldom over ninety degrees

Tanned WaLrus Hide.

A busy shop of the lower part of the
town displays hanging from its door post
full walrus hide. 1t is tanned to a
color of light dirt brown and in the in
equalities and burrows of its surface
somewhat resembles alligator skin. To
an inquiry or two young gentleman re-
sponded:
"That walrus hide is hanging there
waiting to be cut up into pie ces. Jewelry
manufacturers use it for polishing. You
know the scheme of an emery wheel?
Well, the hide is cut into circular
shapes and used in Just the same
way. These circles are cut of
every size as the manufacturing people
order. The wheels, as completed, are
often of three or four thicknesses of
material. But that, of course, depends
on the thickness of the hide itself, which
runs from an eighth to third of an
inch. The hide is sold by weight.
That piece hanging outside is worth S75,
the price being $3.50 pound. Is the
walrus hide wheel always used
for the polishing of jewelry, do
you say? Well, yes, if the manu-
facturer knows when he is well
off. But not for the finest work
or the final polishing. The felt wheel
comes in then. For the ordinary polish
ing, however, walrus hide is certainly
the best. The objection to it is the ex-
pense. The manufacturer can use leather
which will cost him one-tenth as much,
But the leather will wear out much
quicker, it won't do such good work, the
workman must spend a great deal longer
time in polishing to produce any
thing like the same results. So in
the long run walrus hide is nearly as
cheap after all.--Neao York Mail and E'r-

Watch Screws.

1t is asserted that the smallest screws
in the world are those used in the pro-
duction of watches Thus, the fourth
jewel wheel screw is the next thing to be
invisible, and to the naked eye it looks
like dust; with glass, however, it is
seen to be small screw, with 260 threads
to the inch, and with g very fine glass the
threads may be seen quite clearly. These
minute screws are 4-1000th of an inch in
diameter, and the heads are double: it is
also estimated that an ordinary lady's
thimble would hold 1000 of these
screws. No attempt is ever made to
count them, the method pursued in de-
termining the number being to place 100
of them on very delicate balance, and
the number of the whole amount is de-
termined by the weight Of these. After
being cut the screws are hardened and
put in frames, about 100 to the frame,
heads up, this being done very rapidly
by sense of touch instead of by sight, and
the heads are then polished in an auto
matte machine, TO- 900 at time. The
plate on which the polishing is performed
is covered with oil and grinding com
pound, and on this the machine moves
them rapidly by reversing motion.

Edible Menu Cards.

The latest thing in hotel bills of fare
is an edible menu card. You select the
dishes you want, and then while waiting
for them you amuse yourself by leisurely
eating up the bill of fare, it acting as

Currency in q Cur.

A dog, owned by Peter Flynn, of Red
Hook, N. Y, recently chewed up and
swallowed 50 bill. As the dog had
no commercial value, he was killed, and
the fragments of the bill, including the
piece which bore the number, were re-
covered. The remains of the dog were
buried, and the remains of the bill were
forwarded to the Treasury Department
Mt Washin ington. A new bill was duly re-
turned to Flynn -Ne,c York Herald.

A PERMANENT HOSPITAL.
$4,000 Contributed by the Red Gross
Branch of Philadelphia to Build One
| In This Cftv

$4,000 Contributed by the Red Gross
Branch of Philadelphia to Build One
in This City.
For some time past quiet but deter
mined movement has been on foot look.
ing to the establishment of a permanent
public hospital in Johnstown. The Cam
bria County Medical Society have been
the prime movers in the undertaking.
The Philadelphia Branch of the Red Cross,
have received a large sum of money from
the Relief Committee of their city, for the
purpose of enabling their work at the
temporary hospital in the Seventh ward
to be continued. Realizing the need of a
permanent and well-equiped public hos
pital in this community, the generous
Philadelphians have announced their in
tention of giving this money, after the
payment of the indebtedness incurred in
the maintenance of the field hospital, to
aid in the establishment of such an in
stitution. This sum will amount to about
$4,000, and with this as nucleus, there
is no doubt that ample funds will be
added so as to insure the success of the
project. An association will be formed,
to be called "The Conemaugh Valley
Hospital Association. A thirty-daY op-
ton has been secured upon a piece of
land, two hundred feet square, on the
Tross farm, lying on the hillside between
the Bedford Pike and Moxham. This is
an advantageous location, perfectly fitted
for the purpose. 1t is confidently expect
ed that our wealthy citizens and corpor-
ations will give material aid to the pro-
ject, and it is an assured fact that the re-
lief and charitable organizations repre-
sented here will cordially cooperate. The
members of the Medical Society are great
ly encouraged at the outlook.
DIR. Wharton, who has charge of the
hospital in the Seventh ward, has been
very anxious to have a hospital established
here permantly, and to his energy and
work in this matter our people will be very
largely indebted.
There are about seventeen patients in
the hospital now, the number having been
considerably reduced. Their rooms are
nice and clean, and everything that can
be supplied for the comfort of the patients
is furnished. Several experienced men
and women nurses are on constant duty,
and every attention is given the sick,
while the best medical skill is employed.

VERY CONSIDERABLE.

Nothing that has been in print for
many years so fOrcefully illustrates the
idea Of submitting quietly and relig-
iously to a divine dispensation, as the
resolution of the Official or advisory
board of Rev. Talmage's destroyed taber-
nacle. On the evening succeeding the
fire which laid the famous church in
ashes, this religious board considerably
and religiously adopted, by unanimous
vote, a resolution expressing submission
to Providence in the loss of the church by
an accidental fire. Under the circum-
stances that was highly praiseworthy
act, as a resolution of that kind looks far
better on paper, in fact, reads better than
one of the other kind would. A rssolu-
ton expressing rebellious sentiments to
Providence, on saying tie advisory
board would not submit to be
thus treated, or in any way GEN.
suri"~. or refecting "ro0 Providence,
would have an ugly look, and would be
in exceedingly bad taste.
The advisoray board is to be con-
graduated on its thoughtful, considerate
and religious spirit, in making known to
" the world and the rest of mankind"
that without any great ado it submits to
Providence for tile act of burning the
church. Well, well here is orthodoxy
run to seed. After this let all wonders
cease

The Democrat.
FRIDAY, oUT2E FIR 25 1889.


Celestine J. Blair, the Democratic can
didate for Register and Recorder, is max
ing friends every day. 1t has generally
been the custom to re-nominate faithful
and efficient county officers, and this
nomination was a deserved and wise one
Mr. Blair is native of Ebensburg, as are
also his parents, and his fealty and devo-
tion to the Democracy was never question
ed. AS public officer Mr.. Blair has made a
record that stands forth as one worthy of
emulation. Ever since he assumed the
important duties devolving upon him, he
has been constantly at his desk, unless
called to Johnstown or other points in
the county to accommodate the people,
and save them the expense of travelling to
Ebensburg, giving his personal supervi-
sion to the work in his office, and inspir-
ing CLERICAL discipline which always
guaranteesa rapid and prompt disposition
ofbusness. Always affable and courteous,
those who have business at the Recorders
office, lind Mr.. Blair ready to respond to
every inquiry and furnish information
without any hesitation. His business
methods in this Office and his intercourse
with the people, has created good i'm
preston with all who have come in con-
tact with him. He deserves the support
of every Democrat, as he has been faith
full to all Democratic nominees. How
could any Democrat expect to gain any
thing OF help himself by voting against
him? To vote against MIR. Blair
is to vote for the men who have
reviled you, and would prevent you or
any Democrat from holding an office in
this county or any other place. Vote for
the party that will help you. Do not be
deceived, and stand by the man who rep
resents your principles.

Prohibition Cadidate Johnston Accepts.
j. II. Johnston, the candidate of the
Prohibition party for State Treasurer, has
given his leetter of acceptance. He re-
CARDS the temperance question as the
greatest issue of the day. He defines the
respective policies of the three par
ties, and says: "The Prohibition party
was organized and exists for the purpose
of securing the suppression of the liquor
traffic by brohibitoryEenactments. 1t re-
pudlates any policy or plan that tends to
legalize or license the same. At the
same time it takes hold of other political
questions, suoh as the protection of the
Sabbath, trusts, labor problems, foreign
emigration, ETC., and clearly defines its
policy toward the same, as reading of
its declaration of principles will disclose (;
and being party of sobriety is more
eminently fitted for handling the affairs of
the government, as sobrety in public
afficials, as in individuals, is always ad.
viseable. 1t may be said by some earnest,
conscientious persons who desires the
abolition of the drink traffic that it is not
properly question for political solution,
and should be left with moralists rather
than with statesmen to solve. Any
question affecting the people in their
moral or material rights as:does the sup
preston of the liquor traffic is a proper
one for political agitation and political
action, and, therefore, most certainly
proper as a basis of principles on
which to establish political parties"

A meetirg of the Johnstown Finance
Flood Committee WIS Lall Fdl..y and
the following resolutions adopted:
JoHNsTowN, Pa, October IS, 1889.
Res0Ioed, That the following communi-
cation be addressed to the Bureau of In
quiry by the Secretary:
To the Bureau or Inquiry.
GENTLEMEN Since the Flood Commits
sion assumed the direction of the work of
making final distribution of relief money
and delegated its powers to Secretary
Kremer, the Committee on Finance has had
no control of this matter whatever. The
Committee has knowledge IN general
way of the difficulties you have encoun-
tered in the patient and intelligent efforts
you have made to adjust relief-not upon
the basis of property losses, but in accord
ance with the necessities of the parties.
This effort is commendable and, indeed,
essential, but absolute equity in matter
of this magnitude is impossible, and the
time has come when further delays must
have ample justification. Many cases
are now arising daily where people are
Obliged to make sacrifices which would
be prevented if they could receive the
money which will be awarded to them,
or if they had any certain knowledge
that such an award would be made.
viii you kindly give us official informa-
ton as follows:
Have you finished your labors for the
final distribution2
What impediments, If any, are in the
way of prompt distribution to Glasses 4
and s.?
Will the money be paid out in accord
ance with your awards, or is any further
revision of the schedules contemplated
By Order of Committee on Finance.
