About Nickel Plating.

Nickel is used almost universally not
only for the purposes of ornamentation,
but on exposed metals to prevent rust and
wear. For the latter purposes it has super
seeded all others because it is more durable
and more easily kept clean. For purposes
of characterization because it is harder and
more durable and wears better than silver,
besides being much cheaper and quicker
done. The details of its use are almost in
Vulnerable, being used on iron, brass and
copper for ornamentation on household ar
ticles, furniture and furniture trimmings,
saddlery hardware, watch cases and watch
movements, in fact, its uses are universal
Nickel plating is done by the application
of solution of nickel metal, which in this
country is found principally in the mines
at Texas, in Lancaster county, Pa, and in
the Lake Superior region. It is shipped in
anodes, square blocks of metal, weighing
from five to twenty-five pounds and vary
ing in price FROM e5 cents to s1.25 pound

How to Cast for Bass.

Standing upright in his boat the expert
bass fisherman grasps the rod firmly be-
low the reel-which must be one that runs
with the least possible friction and holds
300 or 400 feet of ine-and whirls the squid
about his head, with several feet of line
flying free. When the whirling squid is
brought to certain velocity which the
feeling and instinct Of the angler must de-
termine to nicely, the fisherman quickly
thrusts the rod forward with movement
whose effect and grace can only be appre-
ciated and understood by seeing it DONE
The whirling squid responds instantly to
the movement 1t starts out with amazing
velocity, as straight as flying bullet. The
whizzing reel pays out the unresisting
line, and if the cast has been made by an
expert hundred and fifty feet of line will
have left the reel before the squid drops in
the water at the spot it was launched to
reach. It will not be long before some big
bass will show his appreciation of the an
gler's skill by swooping upon the attract
i've lure, and then will come struggle that
may last an hour, and perhaps two, before
one or the other of the combatants con-
quers.-New York Evening Sun.

flee, looked with his keen glance up and down
the street, then burying his chin in his great
curling beard he seemed to be plunged in
deep thought.
Suddenly he faced about with shout that
made all the clerks in the office jump and SET
the ink bottles bobbing around the desk. His
eyes cleaned lightning. Its all right; t:isl
fetch it," he cried; ''don't want anything bet
ter to IDENTIFY me!' AS he was speaking lie
was tearing off his coat, tearing off his vest,
snatching off his necktie and unbuttoning his
shirt-his eyes blazing, his breath coming in
great gasps. Then he gave his broad, heav-
ing chest sounding blow, and in tones full,
moving, like the resounding tones of an Or
gan, though each eager, breathless word
seemed to have great sob at the bottom of
it, he pointed to his breast and exclaimed:
"Look! lookl Here here is the 'dentifcationl
1t were warranted fast colors when it were
done. and so it were, for I've secured it with
soap and water these twenty years. A sailor
chap did it when l were boy and ran away
to sea in a fit of cussedness. 1t hurt SO that
yelled like circus hyena; but thank Godl
thank Godl it'll IDENTIFY me now!"
He held the bosom of his shirt wide open,
and there, right across his heaving chest, was
the name ALLAN Brayton" tattooed in India
ink, with fishes and fourishes all around it!
At sight of the name all the clerks at the
desks, who had been eagerly listening to his
appeal, forgot dignity and discipline, and,
rising as one man, cheered Allan Brayton
with heartiness that made the rafters ring
Something was the matter with the CASH
ier's spectacles, for he took them off and
wiped them carefully before he spoke. Then
clearing his throat he said: GU are right,
Mr.. Brayton; that sailors work has identi-
fed you more certainly than the spoken dec
laration of any other man. I am glad you
have been able to satisfy us SO completely.
You will shake hands with me, am sure, as
a token that you believe that my caution was
necessary, and that in our business, as you
must acknowledge, Eternal vigilance is the
only price of safety"
In five minutes more Allan Brayton had
his money, in new crisp bank notes, securely
fastened into large pocketbook which the
cashier presented to him. A relieved, almost
radiant look displaced the dismayed, wild,
hunted expression of his face as he quickly
and silently resumed his garments Then,
shaking hands all around, he strobe out of
the Office, and went gladly and swiftly on his
way.-New York Independent.

A POEM POSTPONED.

want to tell you about my kitten
The prettiest kitten that ever purred;
But I've looked my speller through and through
And can't discover a single word
That rhymes with kitten,
Excepting mitten,
And that is old and too absurd,
So the only thing for me- to do
Is just to send you what I've written,
And wait till she grows to be cat
There are ever SO many to rhyme with thatl

Clergymen's Sons as Reporters.

There is an old SANDER, now happily
nearly extinct, to the effect that ministers
sons are, as a rule, more lavish sewers of
wild oats than the sons of laymen. The
subject Of the clergyman's son in journal
ism has never yet been regarded as an is
sue, and yet the profusion with which
some of the newspaper offices of Boston
are sprinkled with the sons of ministers
might well lead to discussion of the topic.
In the office of one of the Boston dailies a
group Of six attaches of the staff were in
conversation, when it became known that
of the six five were sons of ministers. Still
another member of the staff, himself a
clergyman, is the son Of clergyman.
From this same Office, within the last year
or two, three members Of the staff have
gone, one by one, to swell the staff of an
other great Boston daily, and all three are
sons of clergymen. All of these nine men
are of good repute, and are all rather proud
that they are able to refute the saying,
once SO frequently heard, but now rapidly
falling into disuse.-Boston Advertiser.

Effect of Elgctricitx ON raleeranh Lin,

For a number of years exhaustive in
formation on electricity in storms, with
special regard to the influence of atmos-
pheric electricity on the telegraph service
and on telegraph apparatus, has been col
lected by the imperial telegraph depart
ment, Berlin. At present 900 telegraph
offices have instructions to keep a record
Of the course, duration, direction, etc., of
storms. From the observations made it
appears that, while not altogether free
from the influence of atmospheric electrici-
ty, such influence is materially smaller in
the case of underground wires compared
with wires above ground.
In 1888 1888 Interruptions from storms
were observed in underground wires, and
in the above ground wires 1875 cases of in
jury were reported. In regard to town
telephone wires, it is worthy of remark
that, notwithstanding the violence of
several of the storms in the towns having
a telephone system, the accidents from
lightning compared with former years
were strikingly few, and the assumption
does not, therefore, appear to be without
justification that the wires spread over the
roofs afford effective protection in equaliz-
ing atmospheric lectricity.-Electrical En-

COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA, June "A special
to the Nonparea from Missouri Valley
reports the almost total destruction of the
village of Loveland, eight miles below that
point, by huge waterspout yesterday.
Loveland is located in Boyer valley in a
gulley.
a terrific storm, amounting to a cloud
burst. passed over the valley, breaking
about a mile above the town, sweeping
down the street and leaving hardly a houss
in tlwn.
The loss of life as far as has been heard
from includes Mrs. Sayles, an aged lady.
and her son. There are others whose names
are now unknown.
One family was taken off treetops next
morning. where they had been swept by the
flood. One of the family was swept past
and drowned. The search for the missing
bodies is SO far unsuccessful.
ONLY ONE KILLED.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA, June 8, 8 A. NJ
Further advices tonight from the scene of
the Loveland disaster indicate that the first
reports were overestimated in magnitude
Mrs. Sayles is the only person killed. so far
as known. The village is a small one and
the material loss, therefore, is not large.
The river has subsidsd to its usual channel,
but an all day search failed to reveal any
further dead.

KEIFRR IN THE HOUSE.
The Elk x-Speaker Watches Speaker

The Ex-Speaker Watches Speaker
Reeds Slick Way of Ruling.
WASHINGTON, June al. Warren
Keifer of Springfield. O., once, incredible
as it seems, speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, is now in Washington. To-day
he sat for a while in the seat he used to oc-
cupy before he was made speaker, and
watched Speaker Reed doing deftly and
gracefully what Speaker Keifer used to try
to do awkwardly and clumsily, and listened
to Henry Cabot Lodge and other republican
leaders who were unknown to national
politics when he was elected speaker.
MAN WITHOUT FRIENDS.
Very few republicans spoke to Mr.. Keifer
and no democrats. He had few friends
when he was made speaker and he has fewer
now. Most of the members of the present
House do not know him by sight. Mr..
Keifer was the great friend of the lobbyists
when he was speaker. Now he is lobbyist
himself, appearing as representative of
Delano, Laurence, Harpster g. Co., other
wise known as the Ohio Wool Growers
Association, and Keifer is chiefly valuable
to them, because as an ex-speaker he
has the privilege of going in on the Senate
floor while the Senate is in session, while
Messrs. Lawrence and Delano can only go
in on the House floor, and Mr.. Harper cam
not 90 in at all. 1t remains to be seen
whether Speaker Reeds fiery zeal against
lobbyists will extend to his old friend, ex-
Speaker Keifer. The Ohio wool growers
have certainly selected a most appropriate
representative in the man who engineered
the conference committee of 1888.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-This was s'sus-
pension day" in the House and, after the
introduction of few bills, resolutions and
memorials, motions to suspend the rules
were in order, and under such motions
quite number of local bills were passed.
The first break in the monotony came when
Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts, moved to sus-
pend the rules and pass the bill granting
four condemned cannon to Abraham Lin-
coin Post Of Charlestown, Mass. The motion
was lost.
KILLING TIME.
Up to this point. in one respect, the session
of the House was somewhat remarkable.
The principal object of the members present
and they constituted bare quorum
seemed to be TO kill time and to prevent any
measure of general Importance being
called up.
A bill called up by Mr.. Smith of Arizona,
concerning Indian criminals in the terrific
ries, was discussed for nearly an hour,
though no attention was paid TO the debate.
The Lodge bill was the target for many at
tackS. Every member VINO uesireu 10 se-
cure condemned cannon for an army post in
his district made objection. and a number of
short "home consumption" speeches were
made.
ANDERSON RAISES A LAUGH.
Mr.. Anderson of Kansas raised a laugh,
when, in response to remark by Mr.. Flower
of New York, he suggested that all cannon
should be used to aid New York to erect
monument to Gen. Grant.
On motion of MIR. Crisp the rules were
suspended and the bill was passed author
izing the construction of a bridge across
the Ocmuigee river in Pulaski county,
Georgia.
On motion of Mr.. Morrow of California

On motion of Mr.. Lester Of Georgia the
bill was passed authorizing the construction

A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The House to Stand by the Service
Pension Clause.

Pension Clause.
WASHINGTON, June 2-The republican
representatives were again in caucus TO-
night to consider matters of legislation
pending before the House. The first busi-
ness in order related to the subject of pen
sions, which came up on an application
for instructions by Messrs. Morrill, and
Sawyer, the republican members OF the
conference committee on the disability
and service pension bill. which has so far
been unable to reach an agreement with the
senatorial conference committee. The
points a. issue were stated, and after pro-
longed and animated discussion the caucus
instructed the representatives of the Heuse
TO insist upon the service pension feature of
the bill and to endeavor TO secure the inclu-
sion of the provision that no pension shall
be less than So per month.
The McComas anti-gerrymandering bill
was next taken up and discussed at length
Several of the Ohio members noted their
objections to the bill. After argument the
matter went over for consideration at an
other caucus.
THE NATIONAL ELECTION LAW.
The subject of national election law was
next considered. Messrs. Lodge and Rowell,
from the special caucus committee, pre-
sented their reports, Mr.. Lodge favoring a
national election law on the general plan of
his bill, and Mr.. Rowell recommending the
present supervisory system of safeguards.
After an explanation Of the provisions of
the two measures the caucus adjourned,
leaving them, as well as the McComas bill,
in order for consideration and action at
another caucus to be held next Thursday
night.
The subject of silver legislation was not
broached, as it was believed that the repub-
lican members had sufficiently indicated
their desires in that respect at the preceding
caucus.

Deaths Probable.

Deaths Probable.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 2.-The building
No. 1888 Franklin avenue, the second floor
of which was occupied as a tenement by
several families, and the lower floor as
paint shop, was discovered on fire about
3o'clock this morning. The fire started on
the second floor, and had burned half an
hour before it was discovered. When an
alarm was turned in the fire was well under
way. AS soon as the hremen arrived a
stream of water was turned on the building,
but no effort was made to rescue the occu-
pants until loud screams from the second
story indicated that there were helpless
people inside.
FAMILY IN A FIRE TRAP.
The firemen entered and found the family
of George Schlothman struggling in smoke
and flames in the two front rooms
Schlothman was frightfully burned and
n was lying helpless ON the floor. His wife
and two children were also burned, and his
father, nearly 70 years of age, had been
smothered to death in his bed.
Charles Hauss, VINO occupied the rear
apartment with his wife and child, had just
left to 60 TO work, and his wife and little
son were caught in the flames.
RIsKED ALL TO SAVE HER BOY
Mrs. Hauss could have escaped but her
little boy was 80 frightened that he ran
under the bed. ana in the frantic mothers
efforts to save her child she was danger
ously burned. The child was found in an
unconscious condition, but the mother was
able to speak.
The injured were all taken to the dispen-
sary, where Schlothman is not expected to
live. The recovery OF his two children is
also doubtful. 1t is thought Mrs. Schloth-
man may pull through.
George Hyde, The lessee, has been arrested
on suspicion of having fred the building.
