Social Rank fin Washington.

Washington Corr. Pittsburgh Dispatch.l
 It Is funny consummation of eur Republican form of government, thls division of officials into ranks and de- grees, and their wives into ranks SO- cial; but it is not the fault of the Re- publican form, but of the artificial sO- cal life of the nation, winch ascri6eS excellence to other things beside pure moral, intellectual and esthetic worth and development, So long as the pos SeSslon of money gives standing and power in accordance with the amount possessed, little matter how 1t is ac- qulred, we can hardly find fault with assumption of officIal superiority in various degrees.
 Of course, if all minds were above petty considerations such a regulation would be dead letter, and the wife of the Secretary of State could speak to the wife of the Secretary of Agricul- lure without thruSting her feeling of superior rank into lhe face and con sclousness of the latter; but unfortu- nately, most minds, and especially most female minds, are just broad enough to be capable Of taking advan- tage of the situation and making It as dlsagreeable as possibl and therefore among the ladies of the court clrcle" there Is Otten d feeling of belligerence that threatens 10 break out into open war and in their daily intercourse they always have, tiguratively speak ing, theIr hands on lhelr hIp pockets, and at night they sleep on their arms with one open.
 Scandals with and without founda- tion are the results of these jealol>ies, and in some sense the penalty of rank Is therefor9 greater than its honor. The levellng process goes here as in all nature, and, ii rank Is at the top, nun berS are at the bottom. and the power of numbers Is greater than the power of rank. Scandal, like death, loves a shining mark, and the infe- riorS of the court circle delight to tear to pieces their superiors, and these in feri0rs in their tUrI find their Neme- sis. It is the ancient story of the great heas which have little feaS to bite them, and the little Heas that have lesser heas, and so ad minimum.

4 Bog Electrified to Death.
IFrom the Boston Herald.l

tFrom the Boston Herald.l
 In full view of several thousand people large, black bull maStlil was slowly burned to death at O clock last evening on Washington street, close to Dix place, and the cremating agent was nothing less than the dead ly electric fluid Hanging in front of the show window of the establishment, Nos 727 and 731 Washington, Is a large lamp of the arc electric light pattern. At just about s o'clock the doomed animal, a handsome beast, with cropped ears and black, glossy tur that showed him to be well groomed, ran across the sidewalk and began to nose around the iron frame work of the entlance 10 Nc. 727. Suddenly the dog was drawn up against the iron frame of the show window, almost underneath the arc lamp. and the animals head was glued fast to the Iron pillar supporting the entrance gIrder, while flashes of blue flame and clouds of smoke shot out from its nose and ears. It required fully three minutes of thIs roasting process to produce death, and during that time the suffering animal emitted a series ot yellS that could have been distinctly heard six blocks. The cries of the poor, suffering beast were most pitiful, and thousands of people crowd ed into Washington street and stood mortified at the spectacle, notwith- standing the fact that it was only the life of dog that was being sacrificed to the electlc monster. Another deg came along, and, as ifscIzed with il ae- sire to lend succor to its kind in dis treSS, started to cross the sidewalk. where the roasting animal was giving up his life, but, owing to the moisture that covered the pavement, the side walk was thoroughly charged with electricity, and just as soon as the sec ond dog placed his paw on the side walk, he was shot into the air with howl of pain, and scampered off out of sight. Officer Goode, of Division 1. who was on the route at the time, and d detail of officers from Station 1, put in dn appearance, and blockaded that slde of Washington street above and below tbe scene of trouble for over all hour, until notice was sent to the eiec- tric lighting company and the circuit shut off, winch removed the danger. Officer Goode, before the current was cut off, managed to pull the Ledy of the dog from its crematory against the building by attaching shovel to a pole. He received some powerful shocks while removing the dog, as did others who assisted him, hat nobody received any severe injury. The rri- va'e night watchman on the route re- ceived a shock, but not of serious character. It Is believed that the sag ging of d poorly protected wire caused the electric fluid to run aStray, and the damp condition of inc sidewalk made it first class receiver and distributor of the deadly currents.

HOW TYPE IS MADE.
ork That Ksou res Considerable ra-

work That Requ res Consioer"Die
 tience and More skill.
 The first step in the manuiacture oi type is making punches; that Is, on the end of short bar of soft steel there Is cut a model for each character to De used in the font or assortment ol the types. This steel is hardened, and the punch is then stuck on the side of a thin bar of rolled copper, which gives a reversed duplicate of the model type, and this, when truly squared and fitted to a mold, constitutes the matrlX. All the matrices of font are made to fit single mold Two firmly screwed combinations of several pieces of steel, which make counterpart halves, form the type mold These halves are lm- movable in the direction which deter- mines the height of the body of the let ters, but can readily be adjusted in the direction of it's width. The matrix is fitted at one end Of the mold; at the other end is an opening through wlSch the melted metal i5 injected. Type casting or founding machines are now used in the making of type. These have frame-wor6, in the center Of which is a pot of type-meta! kept fluid by fire beneath. The mo is connected with the melted metal through Il channel. In the pot is fitted a piston, which is kept in motion forcing the fluid through theA%Y0 nto the mold. This in- jected metal has been used at low heat and, being cooled by a b.ast of cold air upon it, solidifes almost in- stantly. By mechanical movement the mold Is made to open when it re- ceives the metal, and the matrix to spring backward. while little hook throws out the type. Then the mold closes tine matriX falls into its place again, and the piston again throws in a little metal, to be thrown out again as a type. This machine works very rapidly, throwing out the complete types at the rate of 75 to 15O minute. according to the size. The type has now to be finished off by rubbing off the sharp edges of the body, for the face is usually perfect when it is thrown out of the mold The title types are then picked up one by one and careful ly examined under d magnifying glass. All perfect letters are set in rows and then wrapped in packages, each con taining certain number of pounds, and all defective lett IS are thrown aside to be melted over again. Types are now all not only made to standard night, but with bodies Of the same size, only the faces varying in the dif- ferent fonts. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Invention Of Postage stamps,

(From American Notes and Queries.)
 The postage stamp will celebrate its fftleth anniversary next year. The invention is due to printer James Chalmers, of Dundee, who died in 1853, and who finally, with his sys- tsm, the adhesive postage stamp. con quered the whole civilized world. England, fifty years ago, introduced the postage stamp. and according 10 a decree of December 2l, 1889, issued the first stamps for public use on May 6. 1040. 4 year later they were intro duced Tn the United States of North America and Switzerland, and again, a fe'g years later, in Bavaria. Belgium and France. One of the most impor- tant and valuable collections of nos tage stamps Is in the German Impe- rial Post Office Museum, which con- tains over 10000 postage stamps, and other postal delivery devices.

Justice Brewer, just ralsed to the supreme bench, freely admits tbat he has now reached the goal of hIs am bition. He has certainly reached a place where he can have all the work his soul may yearn after, for the su- preme court is still confronted with d docket of thirteen hundred cases, and the docket IS swelling every day. It would take the judges over three years to go through this calendar, even should no additions be made to 1t. This long delay is equivalent to denia of justice.
