America Would Be "For Rint.,

paid visit to Ireland a few years
ago" remarked Judge Noonan, of the
Planters House news stand, to the Man
About Town. and in going up through
Galway had to make use of a iaunting
car. The driver, thorough specimen of
the peasantry, full of native wit and
shrewdness, had in some way discovered
that | was from America, and after cycling
me keenly for time, asked: It's from
America yez are.'
" acknowledged that such was the case,
and after a short silence, he asked again :
How are the Oirish gettin' along over
thaire%"
90 Bad said l, very bad. They are by
far the worst citizens we have. They are
much worse there than at home even.'
g He regarded me with queer twinkle
in his eye and queried: Do you know
phwat think would become of your coun-
thry if it wasn't for the Oirish ~
well, had not thought replied,
but am curious to know your opinion
"He leaned over and, lowering his voice
almost to whisper, he said l think it
would be for rint.' "-S. Louis Republic.

THE report of Engineer Brinkerof, edi-
tor of the Engineering Record, presents the
breaking of the Johnstown dam in a new
light. He proves by the remains of the
dam, by the compactness of the puddle, y
by the foundations that still remain in
place, and by measurements, that the dam
did not break from pressure of the water
behind it, that it did not slide out bodily,
nor any section of it. But it is shown that
the cause of the disaster was the raising of
the ends of the dam when it ceased to be
used as canal supply-dam, which left the
crown lower in the middle, fiat violation
OF elementary engineering construction.
As consequence, when the water rose
sufficiently high to flood the sixty -fve-foot
waste weir, at the north end, it was pour
ing over in the center also and tearing
away the embankment. This soon re-
suited in such velocity of the current that
wedge-shaped cut was made through
which the imprisoned waters rushed in an
irresistible torrent This being the fact,
it will go far to remove the impression
that prevails that the dam was ill-con-
structed from the base, and did not possess
sufficient wall-strength to resist the pres
sure of the water accumulated behind it.
But it does not relieve those who made
the terrible mistake of lowering the crown
Of the dam below the level Of the ends
where the escape weirs were situated.

Useful knowledge.

A bag of sulphur kept in drawers or
presses will exterminate red ants.
Lemons will keep best in a jar of cold
water.
A marble dropped in a kettle will pre-
vent the contents boiling over.
Carriage varnish is an excellent cement
for china.
Castor-oil beans dropped in mole holes
will drive away the moles.
Whole cloves sprinkled among wooden
goods and furs will preserve them from
the depredations of moths.
A good cement for mending broken pot
terry can be made of starch, plaster of
Paris and glycerine.
A thick mixture of glycerine, volk of
an egg and starch is an effectual remedy
for barn. Common baking soda, spread
on thick, is also good.
Mustard plasters made with white of an
egg will not blister the skin. If mixed
with molasses, mustard plasters will re-
main moist long time.
To mend small holes in plastering take
one part of plaster of Paris and three
parts of fine sand and mix with cold
water.
A plaster of common soap and brown
sugar applied to wound made by pin
or other poisonous articles, will draw out
the soreness.
Vinegar and sugar mixed will cure
hiecoughs.

MUCH ADO.

When you think of it, friend the worries,
The troubles that wear you out,
Are often the veriest trihes,
That common sense would fiout;
They write the forehead with wrinkles,
They bow the shoulder with care,
Yet little patience would show you, friends,
Just how their weight to bear.
It's somebody late to breakfast
And the coffee growing cold;
It's button that isn't fastened
Or a string too slight to hold
And time and temper are wasted,
And fun is driven away,
And all for the want of gentleness
The home is spoiled for day.
And the children make litter
Oftoys upon the floor,
And Johnny forgets to wipe his feet,
And Susie to shut the door
And who that hears you scolding,
Which after awhile you'll rue
Would deem those needless little ones
Just all the world to you?
IT'S well that God and the angels
Know better far than we,
That our conscience and cur conduct friends,
So seldom quite agree.
lis well that the Lord is patient,
And sees, not what we are,
But what, at our best, we are fain to be,
Unmoved by strife and jar.
All me for the little trifles
OF which our bitter grow
Cf sorrow and trouble is often mixed,
As weakly, with much ado,
We meet the smaller worries
That are quickly out of sight,
WAen the sweep of a dark-winged angel
Obscures our lives with night.

Bull vs.. Engine.

7. ]. Howe, who lives few miles from
Americas, Ga, owns a half-bred Jersey
bull, about two years old. The animal has
been confined in field that is traversed
by the Savannah, Americas and Mont
gomery Railroad, and on Tuesday morning
the bull concluded to dispute the right of
the train to follow the track through the
field. He took the rnad=hed and wouldn't
move, but shook his head defiantly at the
sound of the whistle. The engine moved
into the fight, and the bull stood his
ground until they collided, when he few
about twenty feet off the track, rolling
over and over, and believing in fear. He
had no bones broken, but now when he
sees train he gets into the farthest corner
of fence and hides his head until it is
out of hearing.
