Donna Ersilia was married to Count
Lovatelh, of Ravenna, a marriage whose
happiness was broken some thirteen years
ago by the early death of her husband.
Several sons and two charming daughters
were the fruit Of this marriage.
Intercourse with the great scholars who
sought the Caetani palace resulted in set
ting her eagerly at work at the science of
archaeology. The princess is as familiar
with Latin and Greek literature as are
our cultured academic philologists.
A series Of archaeological essays earned
her admission into the Royal Academy
Of Science. She is also one of the Society
of Friends of Early Christian Art, found
ed by Rossi and Bruzza. But above all,
her house has become the rallying point
for the archaeological world of Rome-l
might say of Europe. Donna Ersilia has
withdrawn entirely from the time taking
and frivolous pleasures of high life. She
has made her salon a rendezvous for those
whom study has attracted to Rome.
There the greatest scholars may be found
discussing tho rendering Of an old text
or the Interpretation of a word on an
antique sarcophagus. In knowledge of
these things the beautiful and majestic
lady of the house is equal to her guests.-

Already has the orchid mania obtained
celebrity, a suit having been brought
against her grace, the Duchess of Mont
rose, by her florist, Mr. Sanders, of Lon
don. The duchess loves orchids; with
them sho adorns her person and her
mansion during the two months of the
season" The fancy thus INDUCED was
at the cost of 81, 400I Great were her ex-
CARNATIONS and indignation when her
bill was presented, and so loud, indeed,
were they that she failed to hear the of
ten repeated demands for payment. The
florist, Disguised, sued her, and 10 and
behold! judgment was given against
her, as to the commonest plebeian. Her
grace was ordered to pay the amount-a
good starting point for the cultivators of
orchids, who have made a law unto
themselves, v~aluing now the meanest
orchids at IS and $40. Therefore, good
people, if you wish to indulge the craze,
go ahead ard pay for it!-San Francisco

The foundation of society rests on its
homes. The success Of our homes rests
on the wives. Therefore, first of all,
teach our girls how to be successful
wives. Begin in their infancy to develop
their characters. Teach them that jeal-
ousy is an immortality and gossip a vice.
Train them to keep the smallest promise
as sacredly as an oath, and TO speak of
people only as they would speak to them.
Teach them to look for the best quality
in every one they meet, and to notice
other peoples faults only to avoid them.
Train them to do small things well and
to delight in helping others, and in
still constantly into their minds the ne
cessity for sacrifice for others pleasure
as a mean of soul development. Once
given a firm foundation of character like
this, which the poorest as well as the
richest parents can give to their girls,
and no matter what necessity arises they
will be able to rise above it. Ella
Wheeler Wilcox.

Valentine Setting and wife. of st
Louis, went ont driving recently. Mr..
Setting is a jeweler, and by hard work
and rigid economy had succeeded in ac-
cumulating 81 sos in hard cash, which
was kept in the house. On starting for
the drive, being afraid to leave the money
in the house during their absence, Mrs.
Setting put the money in her stockings.
1t felt uncomfortable there. She took
the package out and placed it at the bot
tom Of a paper bag containing oranges,
and which she carried in her hands.
During the drive through the park the
couple ate the oranges, and when the
last one was gone threw the bag away,
losing sight of the fact that it contained
all the money they had in the world.
They did not discover their loss until
late in the evening, and all attempts to
find the package proved unavailing.-

A simple method has been devised by
means of which, in the midst of busy
workshop full of machinery in motion,
any special noise. even though slight,
can be distinguished and its origin
traced. The apparatus consists of an
ordinary india rubber gas tube about
yard in length; the length may, how
ever, be varied to suit the nature of the
investigation. The tube is unprovided
with earpiece or bell. One end is ap-
piled to the ear of the observer while
the other is moved about in order to ex-
plore the seat of the irregularity. Since
the free oriice of the tube is compara-
lively small and is applied as closely as
possible to the vibrating surface it prSc-
tically receives only those sonorous vibra-
tions which are emitted by this surface.
Those who have to do with machinery
will find it especially useful for observ-
ing noises due TO Irregularities in the
working of small parts of machines,
which may be either difficult or danger
Gus TO approach in any other way.-New
York Commercial Advertiser

TIE Democrats have no cause to look

THE Democrats have no cause to look
upon the recent election as indicating
an overwhelming tide in their favor.
The rule has been since the Government
started that the party in opposition won
in the off years. The Democrats lost
the elections in the off year of Cleve-
lands Administration when they ap-
pealed to the country on the Mills bill
and Cleveland's free trade message. In
his recent speech at Philadelphia James
G. Blaine pointed out the popularity of
off-year elections, and Republicans were
prepared for unfavorable results. In
addition to the off year hoodoo the Re-
publicans had to contend against the
gerrymandering of score or more of
Congressional districts to say nothing of
the intimidation and fraud in the South.
The defeat is an off-year defeat. The
Republicans will be melted by the de-
feat to increased efforts in 1892, says the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.

A LINCOLN STORY.

John Hay, in the November Century.
The great public receptions, with their
vast rushing multitudes pouring past
him to shake hands, he rather enjoyed
they were not a disagreeable task tc
him, and he seemed surprised when
people commiserated him upon them
He would shake hands with thousands
of people, seemingly unconscious of
what he was doing, murmuring some
monotonous salutation as they went by,
his eye dim, his thoughts far withdrawn,
then suddenly he would see some
familiar face,-his memory for faces
was very good,-and his eye would
brighten and his whole form grow
attentive; he would greet the visitor
with hearty grasp and a ringing word
and dismiss him with a CHEEKY laugh
that filled the Blue Room with infectious
good nature. Many people armed them
selves with an appropriate speech to be
delivered on these occasions, but unless
it was compressed into the smallest
possible space it never got utterance;
the crowd would jostle the peroration
out of shape. If it were brief enough
and hit the Presidents fancy, it gener-
ally received swift answer. One night
an elderly gentleman from Buffalo said
"Up our way, we believe in God and
Abraham Lincoln" to which the Presi.
dent replied, showing him along the
line, "My friend, you are more than
half right"

THE way the Democratic politicians
are said to have induced the old German
settlers in Holmes county, o., to vote the
Democratic ticket and thereby defeat
Mckinley reflects credit on their shrewd-
ness, if not creditable to their honesty
They drove through the settlements with
loads of tinware, which they offered al
fabulous prices, and explained that they
could not sell for less because of the
high prices put upon things by the
Mckinley bill. The Germans believed
and when Republican speakers argued
on the excellencies ofthe bill they quoted
the prices of the tinware men to prove
differently. This is but sample of the
way the bill was misrepresented over all
the country.

PRINTING THE CENTURY.

| THE FIRST WEB PRESS FOR BOOk-WORK
Theo. L. De vinne in the November Century
Web presses for newspapers are com,
mon enough, but this press has distinc
tion as the first, and for three years the
only, web press used in this country foI
good book-work. At the end of the
machine is a great roll of paper more
than two miles long when unwounG,
and weighing about $50 pounds. AS
the paper unwinds it passes first over a
jet of steam which softens, but does not
wet or sodden, its hard surface, and fits
it for receiving impressions. 1t next
passes under plate cylinder on which
are thirty-two pages on one side. Then
it passes around a reversing cylinder
which presents the other side of the pa
per, to another plate cylinder, on which
are thirtytwO plates which print exactly
on the back the proper pages for the
thirty-two previously printed. This is
done quickly--in less than two seconds
but with eXactneSS.
But the web of paper is still uncut.
To do this it is drawn upward under a
small cylinder containing concealed
knife, which cuts the printed web in
strips two leaves wide and four leaves
long. As soon as cut the sheets are
thrown forward on endless belts of tape.
An ingenious but undetectable mechan-
ism gives to every alternate sheet a
quicker movement, so that it falls exact
ly over its predecessor, making two lap
ped strips of paper. Busy little adjust
ers now come in play, placing these
Tapped sheets of paper accurately up to
a head and side guide. Without an
instant of delay down comes a strong
creasing blade over the long center of
the sheet, and pushes it out of sight
Pulleys at once seize the creased sheet
and press it fiat, in which shape it is
hurried forward to meet three circular
knives on one shaft which cut it across
in four equal pieces. Disappearing an
instant from view, it comes out on the
other side at the upper end of the tail of
the press in the form of four folded sec
tions of eight pages each. Immediately
after, at the lower end of the tail of the
press, out come four entirely different
sections of eight pages each.
This duplicate delivery shows the
product of the press to be at every
revolution of the cylinders sixty four
pages, neatly printed, truly cut, and ac-
curately registered and folded, ready for
the binder. This web press is not so
fast as the web press of daily newspapers.
but it performs more operations and
does more accurate work.

Our rations while in Richmond we es-

counterfeit greenbacks, which We were
sometimes able to pass on unsuspecting

from ten cent scrip and with little

THE election everywhere seems to
have gone largely against the Republican
party. Ohio seems to have done well,
in the midst of general chaos the State
has been redeemed and the old-time
majority restored. AS the smoke blows
away in the county and the facts become
known, the result is certainly one that
the best element in the party has reason
to be proud of. The traders and boodlers
and mercenary stilletto heelers and party
spOilsmen did their worst and yet the
whole Republican county ticket is elect
ed and the majority is the largest with
two exceptions, ever given in the county.
Let us retire the mercenary and unprin-
cipled traders in politics from positions
that give them influence, and place none
az the front but those who can be relied
upon, and the Republican majority will
grow rapidly in grand old Belmont
county, until it will be as stalwart Re-
publican as Jefferson or COlumbiana
counties. Belldire Tribune.
