1t would do the hearts of country cdi-
tors good to ride up town on the elevated
cars in the afternoon of Friday and Sat-
urday on any week in the year. On these
two days agreat many business men give
only a hasty glance at the evening papers
and then Immediately draw from a pocket
a copy of a paper that is in marked ON
trast to the city paper, SO far as type and
general appearance goes. Tlletype is in
variably larger and the displays of adj
vertisements and headings to news arti-
cles commonly coarscr. The ink is not
always spread evenly Over the page.
Nevertheless, the business mar opens the
paper to the page devoted to village news
and reads every line there. After that
he not infrequently reads the village adj
v~ertisements and gives a brief look at the
editorials. The city mar used to live in
the village where that paper was printed,
and he recognizes the names of people
there as old acquaintance, and common
ly old friends. The village paper comes
like a letter from home to the city man
who was once a villager.-New York

Nh More Mrlnklcd raccs.

A frown will mar the prcttiest face. 1t
doesn't matter about q boy, but tho small
girl does violence to beauty and youth
by ruflling her forehead or tluting her
brow. 1t is, too, Il habit acquired very
early in life. After her pouting days are
over she begins to frown, and keeps OH
frowning until old enough to realize the
banefulness of the habit. In other words,
each ridge is supposed to add a decade to
her apparent age. Now somebody has
made the discovery Of a couple Of mus
Giles between the bridge of the nose and
the root of the hair which can be cut
without pain or injury to the feelings or
face. The services of a skilled surgeon
are secured, who applies the knife, sew
ers the delicate cords, dresses the wound,
and after the skin heals the forehead be-
comes as smooth as the temple, and,
what is most remarkable, remains SO.
Whoever says that the New York woman
does not study her glass is a sublimated
idiot. Her motto of life is, "Know thy
self."-New York World.

The long training of the people in
verse composing and verse reciting pre-
disposes them to the composition of po-
etry of some degree of excellence. Irish
men and Irishwomen ss a rule have a
knack at writing if they receive any edu-
cation at all, and are natural journalists
and writer's at IN early age. The last re-
markablc poet of the file kind known in
Ireland was Carolan, the blind bard of
the last century, whose portrait and
some of whose verses, translated and in
the original, were published by James
Hardiman. He wa as peripatetic as
Homer is said to have been, blind also,
and certainly a fine if not a great poet.
Though the race is net extinct, little OK
ccpt the most ordinary verse is published
in Irish today, the audience being too
small to tempt the most ardent patriot.
With all its inherited shortcomings, and
with the evils that befell it owing to cir
cumstances, the poetic guild of ancient
Ireland did the world a great service i'll
keeping from destruction historical and
national data lost from other parts of
Europe. 1t also added not a little to the
worlds stock of tragic, of noble and of
comic fiction.-Charlcs de Kay in Cent

I'M Dog of Aughrim.

At the hard fought battle of Aughrim
an Irish officer was accompanied by his
wolf hound. This gentleman was killed
and his body stripped on the battlefield,
but the dog remained by it both by day
and night. lie fed upon some of the
other bodies with the rest of the dogs,
yet he would not allow them, or any one
else, to come near that of his master.
When all the other bodies were con-
sumed the other dogs departed, but this
faithful creature used to go in the night
to the adjacent villages for food, and in
the morning to return to the place where
his masters bones only We're then left.
This he continued to do from July. when
the battle was fought, through the cold
and dreary winter until the January fol-
lowing, when Il soldier. whose regiment
was quartered near that spot, going that
way by chance, the dog, fearing he came
to disturb his beloved masters bones,
flew with great t%ierceness upon the sol
der, who, being thrown of. his guard by
the suddcnness of the attack, unslung
his carbine, he having been thrown on
his back, and killed the noble ANIMAL

Deer Come to Town to Live.

L. L. Gaffney informs us that the town
of Downieville is at present inhabited by
quite a number of deer that were cap
tured during a storm. They walk around
town and are as tame as cattle, some of
them going up to children on the streets
to eat food and d~elicacies given them.
One band of fourteen were found near
the banks of the river, above town. They
were all punched i'll the snow and left
over night. The next day those who
found them picked out what they wanted
and took them to town, where, in a few
days, they became perfectly tame. Some
are kept tied in stables, and some wander
around town at will, returning to the
barn when they have had their exercise.
The town dogs do not disturb them when
out.-Nevada City Herald.

A New Lighthouse.

The new lighthouse at Hostholm is the
most powerful in the world. The beam is
of 100000 candle power and shows
clearly ut Blokhus, a distance of thirty
five miles. 1t is produced by arc lamps,
fed by De Meriten's dynamos, driven by
steam engines. To prevent the extinc-
ton of the light through an accident to
the machinery the latter is duplicated,
one set coming into play should the other
fail. The light is further supplemented
in thick weather by two powerful sirens,
Or fog trumpets, working with compress-
ed air. The fascination which a power
full light exercises OH wild birds is curl
ously illustrated by this lighthouse. 1t is
said that basketfuls of dead snipes, larks,
starlings and so forth are picked up in
the mornings outside the tower. They
kill themselves in dashing against the
windows of the lantern.-Montreal Star

Writing OH Cast Iron.

Mr.. John Farrar, foreman of the G..
w. & +. Smith Iron Company, of Bos-
ton, has three small cast iron plates, one
Of which is 81 by s inches, on which is
cut in sunken letters-etched-the Lords
prayer in bold handwriting, and the
other two, each 5 by 6 inches, contain
ing outline drawings, one with three
s%ketches-a pig in an inclosure, swans
on water, and a deer, with pyramids in
the distance, and the other plate con-
tanned an outline drawing Of a horse.
Referring to these plates, Mr.. Farrar
said: "What you see on them is done
with a common steel pen on a piece of
thin paper. The paper, when prepared,
is pinned into a sand mold, iron is poured
into the mold and the writing is trans
ferred to the casting."-Boston Herald.

A GREAT LEATHER COLLECTION.
1t Is Unique ia the Number of Specimens
and (:cnerul Infcl.ost

and General Interest.
A most interesting collection, consist
ing of over 1870 varieties of hides, skins
and feathers, each from a different spe-
cies of fish, flesh or fowl, has been put
on exhibition within the big show win
dows of n Union square jewelry shop.
The collection is a unique one, and it is
the result of many years labor and the
expenditure of a large sum of money.
1t was got together by the proprictors
specially for purposes of comparison and
Identification, and though on exhibition
it is continually referred to every day.
From the elephant to the mole all the
animals are represented whose skins are
capable of tanning. Among others, one
can see here examples of the hides, skins
or leather of the sea lion, alligator,
chameleon, lizard, eel, turkey, crow.

Some of the separate pieces of the
leather are Of great size. One is that of
a boa constructor, which when alive
must have measured Owe twenty feet in
length. There is also the skin of Il big
alligator, tanned whole. 1t is owing to
the introduction of alligator leather into
trade that these animals are now fast be-
coming extinct. One of the rarest of all
the specimens is a piece of genuine
mammoth skin, with some of the hair
still OF it, which was cut from the dead
body of n of these great extinct ami
mails, which had melted out from be-
meath the primeval ice of Siberia.-New

She Forgot Too Soon.

Paris officers, going to seize the goods
of a woman against whom a judgment
had been obtained, found her lying ap-
parently dead and prepared for burial in
her rooms. They We're about to retire
when one of them could not resist tile
temptation to pinch the plump arm of
the woman. The supposed corpse
promptly sat up on the bier and gave the
impertinent officer a regular dressing
down before she remembered that she
was dead to her creditors, if not to the
world. The execution was made at
once and the goods sold.-New York

MAKING STAG WOOL.
A Wonderful Process and n More Wonde
full Product of Great Value,

a Wonderful Process and n More Wonder
full Product of Great Value.
Stag wool is formed by causing u jet
Of steam to impinge upon the stream Of
molten Stag as it issues from the furnace.
This has the effect of dispensing or break
ing up the Stag into countless small bead
like particles, each of which, as it flies
away, carries behind it a delicate thread
of finely drawn or "spun" Stag. In or
der to collect the Stag filaments thus Gre
ated and to separate the fibers from the
beads or heavier portion of Stag, the
steam jet is arranged at the mouth of an
open cylinder of sheet iron, in which u
strong air current is induced by means
of additional jets of steam. The tube or
shaft is furnished with a shield or strik-
ing plate, which detains the heavier par
ticle, the lighter Stag wool being carried
by the draught upwards and EDWARDS
into a large chamber like a gigantic meat
safe, having its walls formed of wire net
ting with about sixteen meshes to the
square inch. Here the steam condenses
