The Only "Mayhower" He Knew or.
l heard a curious imposition which
was practised by a Bostonian OF yacht
ing proclivities upon n friend from New
York, whose knowledge of yachts, and
indeed seagoing vessels generally, was
limited to the barest acquaintance with
their general. characteristics. The two
friends were on the steamer Puritan, of the
Fall River line, and as they were admir-
ing the delicate decorations in white and
gold that are such an improvement on
the old time methods Of cabin ornament
alton for such craft, the Bostonian call
ed the others attention to the painted
vessel that stands out against a glowing
sunset above the stairway in the main
saloon, and mas upon the canvas the
word "Mayhower."
Asevery visitor with nautical or historic
knowledge is aware, this vessel is the
Mayiower of our Pilgrim ancestors.
But the fun loving Bostonian called his
friends attention to it as a representa-
ton Of the famous yacht that carried off
the honors for the old Puritan town, and
was naturally amused when his sugges-
ton was taken in earnest, qualified only
by the remark. 81 don't see how such a
lubberly looking craft could have won a
race. Boston Post.

There Is a preparation in the market
for redressing tan or russell shoes, but 1t
does not clean them; it simply puts on
the polish which has been worn off.
Shoe dealers assert that these shoes,
light as they are, do not become soiled
until this polish has been worn of. The
shoes could probably be cleaned with
benzine or gasoline. An old fashioned
method of cleaning gloves is with a crust
of stale though not dry bread. Possibly
spots On the tan or russell shoes could be
rubbed off by this means. The dresztng
should always be applied after the clean
ing, as in the nature of it any process of
cleaning tends to remove the dressing

The wonderful state of preservation
which the headbands of Egyptian
muInmies exhibit is due to their having
been impregnated with a kind of rosin.
This led a Belgian chemist to make
several experiments with the substance
extracted from birch bark, to which
the peculiar aroma of Russian leather
is due, and he found that the green
tar, which was left over after the oil
used in tanning had been extracted
from the white bark of the birch tree,
yields neither acid nor alkaloid, and
that in solution with alcohol it forms a
liquid of remarkable fiuidity, with the
power of resisting, when once dried,
yer the action of alcohol.-Exchange.

If there is room in the ice box and
plenty of time put the melons there.
Otherwise wrap a wet towel around
them and stand them in a draught to
cool by the evaporation of the water on
the cloth. To keep watermelon over
night in a large tub of cold water is an
excellent way to cool them. Do not lay
ice upon the cut surface; it makes the

There Was . Funny Hitch.
Pretty Fanny. Beale. lively Cincinnati
society bud, is visiting her cousin Nellie In
Piqua, Ohio. Young Mr.. Filloy, of ~. Louis,
and his sister Nina are also visiting at the
same house. Barnum's circus was In Pigua
the other day, and young Mr.. Filley took
the girls TO see the show. In discussing
the performance afterward the young
man Expressed his particular wonderment
at the feats Of female contortionist. He
was especially amazed at the highly accom-
plished manner in which she twisted her
foot around the back OF her neck and made
a cushion rest for her head out of her heel.
The warmth with which Mr.. Filley ex-
pressed his admiration Of this act of the
coDtortionist seemed 10 nettle Miss Benle a
trifo; and she turned up her nose and said /,

awful, and young Mr.. Filley laughed at
beauty's Cincinnati sporting blood was up,
and sho turned to Mr.. Filtey aud said, IN
decided tones: ON Just bet you the
price Of box Of kid gloves that can!'
Young Mr.. Filley promptly took the
bet. Then the delicate question rs TO how
Miss Beale's ability to perform the aero
batic feat could be proved TO the satisfac-
tion of the young gentleman arose. and 1t
was finally settled that Cousin Nellie
should be present while the act was on, as
referee for Miss Beale. and that young Mr..
Filley's sister should also be there, In the
Interest of her brother.
The three girls retired to Miss Beale' y
room. and young Mr.. Filley waited on tho
piazza for an official report of tho result of
the feat. Spasmodic bursts of mirth from
Miss Beale's room reached his ears for n
time, and then there was painful silence
To- r.. a.
by screams OF laughter, an exclamation oi
wonder, and loud capping of hands in the
room.
"Blinked IL i don't believe the little
Tartar has won i'll" said young Mr.. Filley,
to himself.
Another period of painful silence 70 :
lowed the outburst of W onder and applause.
This was followed by scream or two not
prompted by mirthfulness or wonderment.
Suddenly Cousin Nellie burst from the
room and ran out, shouting in alarmed
tones for her mother. Young Mr.. Filley
arose.
"Has she done it, Nellie ?" ho asked.
ooh, Mr.. Filley!" Miss Nellie sobbed,

hour or so later she was a trile lame, but

official report of the referees unanimously

SECRETARY BLAINE does not seem TO be
making very much impression upon Con-
gress with his Spanish American recipro-
city idea. He advanced and firmly main
tanned the doctrine that our exports would
be greatly Increased il an amendment TO
the tariff bin should authorize the presi-
dent to declare our ports free 10 tho pro-
ducts OF any American nation, upon which
export duties are not imposed, provided
that nation admits free certain products of
the United States. The congressman who
think 1t safer to stand aloof from Blaine,
while he is careening around with such
small regard for Mckinley, Reed & Co.,
pretend to fear that il would be very dan
gerous to give this enormous power to the
president. II is even doubted whether this
grant of power can be transferred TO the
president alone. The Philadelphia Ledyer
publishes long and labored study of
South American trade, leading to the con-
conclusion that even with reciprocity
our manufacturers can not con,pete
in South America with those of Eu-
rope, and that by the agricultural develop
ment of the Argentine Republic the mar
ket for our agricultural products will be
closely limited.

Equality.

When Thomas Jefferson said that he

that they were created with equal phys-
cal, Intellectual and moral endowments,

ment of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. Although, in the progress
OF modern science, we have seen that
