agreeably surprised when 1 reached

which will compare favorably with

HANSON AND WILLIAMS.
Messrs. Hanson & Williams have
one of the neatest stores in the city.
They occupy three floors; the street
floor being devoted to the retail dry
goods trade; the basement to rubber
goods and the second story to the
shoe business. Besides their retail
trade they do large jobbing bust
ness, keeping one man on the road
about all the time. Mr.. Williams
was in Boston about two months age
buying goods for the store. They
have the exclusive sale of the Bos-
ton Rubber Co.'S goods in this Sec
ton. Their shoes are made by E.
& A. I'll. Bachelor, Breed, Rice &
Hutchins, and from any one else
they can use in their trade. They

To prevent Russia or planished iron
from during warm, damp weather
is r!lAt: ..euit unless the iron is kept
from the ,ir As he iron is a rapid con-
ductor of heat, the moisture in the air is
liable to be condensed on it's surface, which
soon forms rust and so ruins the appear
au2e Of the iron. Wrapping the iron in
PAPER or cloth and putting it in a dry place
will keep away much of the moisture, bot
the safest way is to cover the surface of the
iron with some substance that is water
proof If the iron IS covered with thin
coat of boiled linseed oil the oil will soon
dr. and form covering, which can be
removed with turpentine when required.
Narnishes of various kinds have been
used for the purpose, and while they will
protect the iron from rust they are difficult
to remove and will show any scratches. A
cheap varnish can be made by adding six
ounces Of resin to one gallon of gasoline,
and by s2raping up a small quantity Of
plraClne and adding to the above the var
nish will have more body.-Metal Worker.

A Night with Artemus Ward.

In 1853 was a sophomore at Knox college,
Galesburg Ills. The students of the college
were always on the alert to do something to
relieve the suffering Of that little city and
vicinity. On one occasion we had the good
fortune to secure as an attraction that eccen-
trio humorist Artemus Ward. We met him
on his arrival and did all that was proper in
the reception OF distinguished guest. The
evening came on for the lecture aud the lect-
ure was delivered. After its delivery A. Ward
was our guest. We took care Of him. Be-
fore doing so, however, we counted up the
receipts of the house. Mr.. Ward Tor Brownel
at once became magnanimous Our terms
with him were that he was to get one-half Of
the receipts and the poor one-half. When the
proceeds were counted out Mr.. Ward said in
his droil way: "Let the poor have theirs; and
you, gentlemen, must allow me to spend my
half in your midst l insist upon your ac-
cepting my hospitality until the last cent Of
my half of the proceeds Of to-nights lecture
has been squandered. Let us begin at once"
The net proceeds amounted to s7.S5. The
amount 'squandered" was $3.671S.-Inter-
view in Chicago Tribune.

J. J. Carly says that the possibilities of
the telephone will be as great in war as
they have been in times of peace. He tells
how, not long ago, the general manager of
the telephone company in Buffalo assem-
bled in less than half an hour the en-
tire board of trade of that city to ate I'D a
meeting on an important subject, and the
meeting could only have been called by
the aid of the telephone. Mr.. Carly is of
opinion that this should suggest to our
military authorities the utility of the tele-
phone in the mobilization of the various
state militia organizations. With tele-
phone in every block, in every city of the
land, it would be possible to assemble all
the state militia of this country in few
hours. In Germany the telephone, like
the telegraph and railroads, is controlled
by the government, and telephone officials
are assigned to a regular place in the field,
to be taken on the commencement of hos
tilities.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiSer.

Fashionable Women Hunt Tramps.

A new advertisement has been intro
drceu' into the pleasant afternoon lunch
cons at Claremont. This is tramp hunt
ing. The wooded slope of the park in
which Claremont stands is favorite rest
ing place for these untrammeled citizens,
who slumber in its shade, contemplate the
Hudson and the passing trains in philo-
sophie placidity, and browse upon the edi-
bic contents Of their mysterious, greasy
parcels. Fashion has taken freak to in
wade this picnic ground of vagabondage,
and the tramps do not resent the intrusion,
since it is certain to carry contribution
of coin with it. The result is that when
society goes tramp hunting in Riverside
park It never finds any scarcity Of game.
The game takes the best of care of that
New York World.
