Use two hones-an Arkansas oil
stone and n fine razor hone. The razor
is first applied to the Arkansas stone,
using fair pressure, and finishing with
lighter and lighter pressure strokes.
Remove razor from the coarse hone tc
the fine razor hone, upon which oil is
also employed. With a few light
strokes on the fine hone an enduring
hair splitting edge is formed. II the
razor be kept on tho finishing hone
too long the fine edge will be lost. If
this be the case, the process must be re-
peated; that is, the razor is again APP
piled to the coarser hone and again fin
ishcd upon the fine hone, care being
taken to cease honing after the razor
has acquired the hair splitting edge.
Very little practice is required to as
certain when that point is reached, a
few hairs of medium ~fineness supply
ing the required test. The coarse hone
employed should be Of sufficiently fine
texture to put n smooth edge on a pocR
ct knife, but not fine enough to give
a smooth cutting edge to a razor. go

II LET1ER HOME.

Merrily DER the tossing sea
The gallant vessel flies,
Her hope Is in the tickle waves,
The laughing wind and skies;
Her silver track, 1t stretches back
With purple weeds and foam,
And echoes Of her Tapping sails
Breathe In the letter homel
The sailor, brown with sun and brine,
The hardy, bold and free,
He trolls a song In every port.
A jest for all has he;
Nor here nor there Is now his care,
His heart forSakes the main,
And with a fond familiar speech
Turns to Its own again.
Once more before his dreamy gaze
The low green hills appear,
The pond where sailed his painted feet,
The friendly roof and dear;
The walks are gay with rose and bay,
With pinks and pansies dim,
And there the wrinkled mother waits
Whose thoughts are all for him
Merrily DER the bounding sea
The ganAnt vessel hies,
But wars and perls range the deep,
And clouds and tempests rise,
And many a wrack and whirlSind black
Is sent TO those h roam,
Then blessings on the Joyful day
That bears a letter home.

Sheet iron chimney stacks, may be
prevented from rusting for an indei-
mite period by the simple device of
coating each section as it comes from
the shop, with common coal tar, then
filling it with light shavings and set
ting them on fire. A chimney was
erected in 1866, after being treated as
described, and is today as bright as on
the day it was raised, though it has
never been painted. The theory is that
the coal tar is literally burned into the
iron, closing the pores and rendering
it rust proof.-Cor. Artisan.

A large crowd Of Armeaans gathered in
the Armenian cathedral in Constant:nople,
Turkey, for the purpose Of demonstrating
with the Patriarch of the church for his
weak action toward the Porte regarding the
outrages perpetrated by Turks in Armenia,
and to demand his resignation. One of the
crowd mounted chair in the cathedral and
demanded that the Patriarch explain the
events that had occurred ct Erzeroum and
the position Of affairs in Armenia.
The Patriarch protested against the action
Of the mob and declared that the sacred edi-
fee was not a place for such demonstration.
This answer to their demand exasperated the
mob and they rushed upon the Patriarch,
dragged him from the pulpit and otherwise
maltreated him.
Military assistance was asked for to quel
the disturbance. A body Of Turkish troops
was sent to restore order, but when they en-
tered the cathedral and tried to clear the

The Business Portion of the City q
Heap Of Ashes and Debris.
A serious fire broke out in Seneca Falls
N. Y, during the morning, at about 4
o'clock, in the northern part Of the town. 1t
speedily passed beyond the control Of the local
fire companies, and help was telegraphed for
from Waterloo, Geneva and other adjacent
places. The Postohice, the Hoag House,
Opera House, telegraph and telephone Offices
and thirty stores were destroyed, the loss De-
ing estimated at 81, ,OOO, 900.
The fire started in the Pew building, a reg
ular fire trap, against the erection OF which
violent protests were made few years ago,
and in a short time the entire building was
blazing. 1t could be approached only on
one Side, as the flremen could not
endure the fierce heat. The flames
spread quickly to the Phoenix block, in
which were the electric light plant,
nest Office, express office, and Western Union
office, all Of which were consumed. Within
four hours fifteen stores were ruined. The
flames crossed the street from the Pew build.
ing to the Opera House. That, with all OF
Fall street on that side east to Sheldon block,
was destroyed.
On State street the fire extended to and
DESTROYED kellogg's livery stable, but all his
stock was saved. Twenty-Five Of the build
ings were of brick and from two to three
stories in height, and only ono OF them Tor
business purposes was vacant. Three Of the
best equipped printing Offices in the. State,
the Courier, Rereitle and Journal, lie buried
in the ruins.
The mail was wholly removed from the
Postoffice, but the safe could not be reached.
The books, money, stamps etc, it was hoped,
were safely wet down in the waters of the
race-woy beneath. Grand Army Hall, in the
third story of the Daniels block, is among
the things that were. A part Of the records
Of Gross Post, including its charter, and tho
irreparable loss Of many relics and memen-
tees, will be source Of regret to veterans.
