This calamity occurred in the first
century of the Christian era, a
time of great interest to the peo-

were in the midst of games aud

portrayed by a troupe Of four
hundred performers dressed in
the costumes of the age. The

the building of a city in all its de-

tains portraits of the child, of her
teacher, a fac-simile letter from
the little girl he, self to Mrs. Hall,
and other illustrations. Mary
Hallock Foote tells the sad story
of "The Lamb that couldn't

how necessary such defences have
become as a consequence of the
development of the worlds nayies.

THE REPUBLTCsN LEAGUE.

Baltimore dispatch: At the convention
of the national league of republican
clubs this morning the committee on
credentials reported that twenty-five
states, one territory and the District OF
Columbia were represented in the con-
vention by lat delegates.
After the resolutions had been dis.
posed OF the roll of states was called for
the purpose of hearing the reports OF
the various state leagues. The reports
showed the growth of the league and the
result of organized work in the last cam
paign. Some reports we're received with
cheers, especially those showing the
work done in the doubtful states. Vice.
presidents of the national league,
selected by their respective state leagues,
were named, among them being Fl. M.
Washburn, of Illinois; G.. B. Pray, OF
Iowa; b. d. Slaughter, OF Nebraska
Alex Hughes, OF North Dakota, and r.
L. Pettigrew, of South Dakota.
The convention then proceeded to the
election of president of the league.
President Foster, of New York, placed
in nomination John M. Thurston, OF
Nebraska, who was speedily declared the
unanimous choice of the league.
The rules were suspended to allow the
unanimous reelection of Secretary
Humphrey and Treasurer Lounsbery
The executive committee was in
structed to revise the constitution in
such respects as it may deem necessary,
and present the revision at the next an.

The Manufacture of Steal.

A well-known engineer says, in one
of our contemporaries, that: ''In the
manufacture of steel, nothing very
new has come to the surface during
the last year Two establishments
have fitted themselves up for using the
basic process-one at Pottstown, Pa,
the other at Homestead, Pa.
The Pottstown establishment uses the
the Bessemer process while at Home
stead open hearth furnaces are used.
The developments have not gone far
enough to announce results. Great
progress has been made in the manu-
facture of steel castings. She process
under which all successful makers now
work was developed at Terremoire,
France, some ten years ago. Ameri-
can manufacturers have applied their
usual ingenuity, and now we may say
we can produce as good steel castings
as Europe. Rolls weighing nearly 3d.
900 pounds and anvil block weighing
$1,000 pounds, at Cleveland, o., show
what can be done in entire blocks"

The Moon Did It. Sure.

1t has been legally settled in Texas
that the moon has an immense influ-
ence in enlarging the brand on cattle.
A lawsuit was pending relative to the
ownership of herd of cattle, and the
solution depending upon the proof OF
the brand, which was found on com.
parison to be three times as large as
the branding iron which the claimant
used. Thirteen witnesses were intro
duced, all of them experts in branding
and cattle herding. They all swore
that when cattle were branded in the
dark of the moon, the brand will never,
no matter how large the animal may
grow, get larger than the dimension OF
the iron used. On the other hand
when either grown cattle or calves are
branded in the light of the moon the
scar will spread, and the lighter the
moon the larger will be the spread.
And the suit, involving several tn ou-
sand dollars worth of cattle was settled
on this testimony. SO the question is
legally settled that it is the moon that
does IT,
