CONSOLIDATE WIDOWS.

A Bereav~d Wife Who Was Only Too
Thankful for Release.
Once l was with friend of mine
when the news of her husbands death
was brought to her. He had been
killed in railway accident. She was
shocked by the news and the dreadful
suddenness of it, and turned so white
that / thought she was going to faint.
| made her sit down on a sofa that was
near, and she whispered in my ear:
Get them all out of the room, Madge,
l am so afraid they will see the JOY in
my face that | feel in my heart" He
had been brute to her and to his
children. He used often to knock the
little ones down in his RACES, and,
though his wife never told me so.
fancy that he more than once had laid
his hand upon her by no means lin the
way of kindness"
Now. was not that release from
misery for her and her children? They
arc happy as possible now, and when
any one suggests second marriage tC
her she smiles in way that few o.
| her friends understand thoroughly.

Suspicious Submission.


A small boy had been having day
OF unmitigated Outrageness, such as
all children who do not die young
are likely to have at times, and when
he was ready for bed his mother said
to him: A
when You say your prayers,
Georgia. ask God to make you q
better boy. You have been naughty
to-day"
The youngster accordingly put up
his petitions in the usual form, and
then. before closing with Amen" be
added:
"And please. God. make me a good
boy"
He paused second and then, to
the utter CONSERVATION of his mother,
concluded with undated gravity:
Nevertheless, not my will, o Lord
but Thine be considerations

He Rather Enjoys Being Shot at and is
Always on Hand.

Bob OF Dunn's creek is the best
known to river men and tourists OF
any alligator in Florida. He is one OF
the largest sauriaus in the State, being
fourteen feet six inches in length,
while the largest alligator on the st.
Johns river of which any reliable ac-
count can be had is but sixteen feet in
length. Dunn's creek, Bob's home, is
one of the most beautiful OF Florida
streams. 1t is twenty-five miles in
length and it is very deep, being the
outlet from Crescent lake into St.
Johns river. 1t is very crooked
stream, and is so narrow that in
places the boat will scrape the banks,
1t is lined with evergreeus. which
meet overhead. forming a leafy bower

the foreigner pays none of the tax,
since he becomes rich by importa-
tion, and finds here the highest mar
ket in the world. The man who
wears the imported hat bears every
ounce of the tax-burden. 1t
will thus appear plain that's long as
the importation of foreign hats con-
tin ues, the American consumers are
paying the full amount of the tariff
tax, not only upon all those import
ed, but upon the entire volume of
our own productions also. But if
importation stops, as 1t must when
the domestic price has touched fig
ure even a shade less than that die
tated by the tariff (S1.50), then all
revenue ceases, and the protection
of the home manufacturer is COM
plete, since he has an absolute mo-
nopoly of the market. But the tax
burden of the hat-wearer is almost
as great as before, and the whole of
it goes as a bonus to the domestic
manufacturer and not cent oft in
to the till of the government.-Prof.

Misses Lil, Jordan and Emma
Elwood, Of this county, few days
ago were at the junction of the Cory
don branch and the Air Line rail-
road, and had occasion to cross q
deep ravine, over which was q very
high and long trestle. They vent
ured upon the lofty structure, and
with careful step managed to keep
safely upon the cross ties until they
had reached about the center of the
trestle, when looking ahead of them,
they saw train coming. What
could they do? If they should turn
back the train would overtake them
before they could get half way off.
and 70 jump from the trestle would
be doom equally as horrible. So
the thought came to them that moth
ing could save them from ar un-
timely and awful death but to swing
under tie trestle until the train
could pass.
They hastily got down between
the cross ties, and, locking their
tender arms around girder, they
swung off under the trestle a hund-
red feet or more from the ground be-
low, while the train went thunder
ing over them, almost shaking them
from their grip tor life. When the
train had passed oyer, the gi rls had
barely strength enough left to drag
themselves back upon the trestle
and complete their journey. When
they reached home their faces were
deathly white. When they recov-
cred from the fright it was found
that the freckles had entirely disap-
peared from the face of one of the
dies.-Corydon (Ind.) Cor. Louis

How Gold Rings Are Made.

Gold rings are made fror bars
nine to Is inches long. One OF these
bars, fifteen inches long, two inches
wide and three-siXteenths of an inch
thick, is worth 81 900, and will make
300 four penny-weight rings. A
dozen processes and 20 minuets' time
are required to convert this bar into
merchantable rings. First pair of
shears cuts the bar into strips; then
by the turn of wheel guillotine-
like blade attached to the machine
cuts the bar into slices, one, two or
three-siXteenths of an inch wide. A
rolling machine next presses out the
slices and makes them either fiat or
grooved. Each strip is then put un-
der a blow pipe and annealed. The
oxide of copper comes to the surface.
and is put into pickle of sulphuric
acid, after which the gold is stamped
oak" "l6k" or "lSk" according to
quality. Next it is put through a
machine which bends it into the
shape of q ring of the size desired.
The ends are then soldered with an
alloy ofinferior fineness to the qualify
of the ring. Many people think that
rings are moulded because they can't
see where they are soldered. The
ring spinsthrough the turning lathe,
is rounded, pared and polished, first
with steel filings, then with tripoli
and rouge. it
