History shows that whenever the tariff
ON foreign products has been materially
reduced, the industries engaged IN making
corresponding products here have IAN
guished; that when the repeal OF inimical
laws was long delayed disaster has en-
sized. and in some instances the affected
industries have been abandoned alto
pether. In view o! such facts, IL Is inn
portant that voters should not lose sight

that working man or mechanic can hardly

out saloon under the same roof, or in close
connection. Co. for instance, down near the

A BELL BUOY.

These buoys are sea-signals of COM
parativcly modern type, and though a
thousand dollars is often expended for a
single buoy, they are, of course, less
costly than the maintenance of light
houses and their keepers would be. The
buoys are their own sections, and ring as
Justify as if it were the Fourth of July the
year round.
The bell-buoys foated in American
waters are composed of a simple iron
framework tapering Upward to a point
from the round raft OH the waters sur
face. Up in the apex hangs the bell,
and it is a great surprise to one who,
sailing by, hears its constant ringing, to
be told that it has no tongue. Directly
beneath the bell is grooved iron plate,
and in this is cannon-ball which, run
ming from the centre down any groove
to which the swirl of the waves inclines
it, brings up with bang against the
edge of the bell.
The advantage of this arrangement
over bell-tcngue is plain. The least
inclination of the buoy sends
the heavy ball resoundingly against
the metal, while in calm waters
the bell-tongue might not be moved
with sufficient force to strike. Then,
too, the cannon-ball, sent constantly in
all directions outward, gets uniform
wear, while clapper would wear only
on tive opposite sides. The link would
also soon wear away by the friction.

Hailstones as Big as Pumpkins.

DR.. Aug. Mueller, learned son Of
SaAony, now residing at Mount Healthy,
Ohio, tells of famous hail storm in mis-
native country, which (but for the doc
tors unquestioned vcracity) possesses all
the car marks of Munchausen:
"It was On the 18th of May, 194S,
about 8 o'clock in the afternoon, that
sharp, black cloud suddenly arose in the
heavens over my native village, neal
Weimar, in Saxony, and the terrible
thunder warned of big storm. Pretty
soon it began to hail. The Jumps were
small at first, but they rapidly increased
to the size of hens eggs. The people
had all fled to places of safety, and were
watching the awful bombardment. All
We getation was beaten fiat into the earth
and the crops destroyed. But horror
seized the people when they saw that the
hailstones were increasing, and tho roal
of the storm was deafening. The hail
stones became the size of teacup, then
of large-sized glass, and great masses
of ice fell that were fully as large as the
globe of that lamp (Which was about FIVE
inches in diametcr).
"Yes, sir, you may we'll look amazed,
but great Jumps of ice fell that weighed
six pounds, and these had knuckles upon
them two and three inches long, great
horned masses of ice they were. Horses
and cattle were stricken and mangled in
the fields, the roofs of houses were beaten
il, scarcely building escaping. And
that is not all. These hailstones, mil
lions of them, fell into the river, anc
were swept down by the current until
the stream became choked at the town
of Ortung: and the flood rose into the
town and portion of it was submerged.
The condition became so serious that an
appeal for public succor was made to the
country. People who lived under the
shadow of the Hartz Mountains on that
May day, in 1S4S, will never forget that
hail storm, and it is one of the current
stories of that people to their children
and to travellers. That was hail storm
it was a plague!"- Cincinnati Times

ALCOHOL IN THE ARMY -

49, "Is there e. not o,t:s good deal of drinking done
"Undoubtedly; and it is very natural that
such should be the case. What are the men
to do on lonely frontier posts but drink and
play cards? They feel the need Of some ex-
element and there are scarce any other re-
sources at hand. But the consumption OF
alcohol in the army is as nothing compared to
old times. The officers who drink hard
nowadays are mostly Of the older set who
were in service before the war. In those
times it was the fashion in the army to
drink hard, play high and be generally rath.
er reckless and wicked. The pace was set
by the rich young officers, who took up the
profession Of arms not for livelihood but
because it was the proper occupation for
gentlemen. Many Of them would give their
salaries to their servants. They kept fast
horses and led fast lives generally. Poorer
men had to follow suit, and ruin, from cards
or drink, or both, was not infrequent.'
Things have altered since those days. /

stainers in my regiment than are to be found

liant affair, but the careful arrangement Of
prisms causes all the rays to he concen-
trated and reflected to the best possible
advantage.
Another curious arrangement of light
is that known as the "sector." One who
enters the "lantern" as the little tower
room is called, of a lighthouse having
this feature, will sec that, in addition to
the usual lens which the lantern contains,
long and narrow red panes are inserted
between the other windows of the room
or "lantern." These have special sig
nifcance. The lamplight shines steadily
red through these. of course, and white
through the other panes, making, on the
sides upon which they are placed, long,
broad, red pathway across the water.
Now this pathway sailors know to be a
safe and certain channel, for the particu-
lar tower which bears the two red panes
has two safe approaches, and with the
utmost care the two panes have been set
60 that the red light may shine directly
down them.
These are some of the many ocean
guides that bcckon to safety or warn OF
danger. But despite the friendly gleam
of numbcrlcss lighthouses and the wild
and melancholy warning of bcll.buoys
and fog-signals, many brave vessel has
been ground to fragments on the sharp
rocks or SINK silently into ocean abysses;
and there must be disaster and shipwreck
as long as sailors sail the Seas T0uth's

THE WHISTLING BUOY.

The part of the buoy seen above water
IS much the smallest portion of it.
What seems to be the surface of a round
raft on the waters level is the upper part
Of great water tight hull, which floats
the framework above. Hanging below
this is a big iron ball for ballast; and two
great iron chains, hanging from either
,idc of the hull to keep it balanced
properly, converge to one down deep IN
the water, making q delightful subma-
rine swing for the babies, if they
were to cushion it with scaweed pill
low. Then, last Of all. on the ocean
bottom is tic great stone sinker, which
holds the whole thing firmly anchored.
There seems something uncanny in the
sight of bell-buoy, swaying and bow
,ng in solitude in the great PLAIN of heav-
ing waters, and never ceasing its high,
sweet, melancholy ringing. One might
imagine the mermen had hand in it.
Then there are the buoys which simply
indicate the coast highways and
thoroughfares-the glistening black ones,
and tho long, red spars that look like
the claws Of some huge lobster of which
the sea gods have been dining. Red
buoys t, port, and black to starbosrd, or
vice versa. according to the vessels dlrec-
ton, and there is the channel marked out
to the stcersman as plain as if plowed
white, like the foamy wake his own
vessel leaves behind.
The launching Of buoy is no light
matter, when it is considered that the
mere snkcrs weigh two or three tons,
while those for bell and canbuoys are
often of i've tons weight. But the stanch
little derrick, which is part of the tender S
outfit, grasps the iron ring that is bolted
through the sinkcr, and easily swings the
great granite block up into the air, and
deposits it gently al the vessels edge, to
be lcvered off by the crews handspikcs,
when the buoy is put in place.
There is huge splashing when this
great monster takes his downward plunge,
and no doubt there is much astonishment
among the tinny fry, if not disturbance
to their housekeeping arrangements.
Then the buoy bobs and jerks frantically
for moment, and, subsiding, becomes
one of the many ocean milestones.
Then there are the "spindles
cons placed on dry land, and requiring,
therefore, less oversight. They are tall
iron poles, with circular framework
atop, the whole riveted to the solid rock.
Many weary sea bird finds them well
come perches after blowing alrift for
dreary leagues over storm tossed ocean,
unblesscd by Il sight of rock pinnacle, or
even mast of vessel.
There are warnings done in paint
circles and stripes of cleaning white
aloft on rocky harbor entrances-which
sailors easily recognize as marking the
left or right of the entrance, as desig-
mated on their charts.

HUGH MCCULLOUGH, the former
Secretary of the Treasury and great
financier, has hidden defiance to the
assaults Of time with a starchness
that is remarkable. He wa3 eighty
years old on his last birthday, and is
still hale and vigorous. He is fond Of
equestrian exercise, riding daily when
the weather is fine between his place
at Bladensburg, of traditionary duel
ing fame, and Washington. He takes
active interest in matters financial and
economic, and writes frequent essays
on these subjects, the scope of which
goes to prove that his mental vigor is
unimpaired. He slternates his time
happily between literary and intel
lectual pursuits, owning a nice small
farm, which he keeps in high state Of
cultivation, by the most approved sci
enLific methods. While Mr.. Nc Cullough
is by no means handsome, he has good
eyes and q bluff, open, kindly counten'
apce.

action of a machine moved lever pressing
against the air-valvc and forcing it open
every few seconds.
Lighthouses are the most numerous
Of all the signaling arrangements that
aot our coasts, and PROBABLY few readers
who live within sight of the Atlantic or
Pacific waters, or the Great Lakes, are
familiar with the aspect of the. light
house tower. The great barrel-shaped
crystal lens, with its rainbow multitude
of cleaning prisms, carefully covered
through the day and jealousy guarded
by the keeper from the sullying touch of
prying fingers, the queer little lantern
room at the top of the winding light
house stairs, and the wonderful view out
seaward from its windows, are sights
accessible to long-shored residents. But
perhaps many such residents are not
familiar with the various kind of light,
for not only does the fact of light being
fixed or ''fash" determine its location,
but so do also the intervals of flashing,
the color of the light and its magnitude.
There are fixed red and white, flashing
red and white, fixed white with red
flashes, double lights, and SO on.
The flashlights are not caused by a re-
volving lens, as one might suppose, but
by revolving framework around the
lens proper, set here and there with red
or white panes as the case may be. The
light, of course, is only seen when one
of these revolving panes passes before it.
The flashes can be produced at longer
or Shorter intervals by adjusting the ma
chinery which regulates the revolving
prisms. This is an important matter,
since the revolving lights are in part dis
tinguished by the number of seconds In
the interval between their flashes.
Lights are known as of the first and
second order, and so on, according to the
size of the lens, the fret being the largest.
1t is wonderful to see to what perfection
these lights have been brought by skill
and careful study. The lamp itself, even
in frst-order light, is not such a brill

are the fog horns or whistles placed along
the coasts where sea fogs gather thickly
and stiie not only the light of the
friendly lantern, but the tone CT the

machinery, and must be seen to be un-

and others, where water is not readily
procurable, by the hot air apparatus
called the Ericsson caloric engine.
The trumpet, which is the mouth-piece
of these signals, is outside the engine
house, and the loud and shrill tone of its
whistle is the result of the vibration of a
metal reed within it caused by the rush
of compressed air forced outward by the
action of the machinery. The intervals

ANDREW LARSON, the captain OF the
schooner Mary Anderson, has arrived
in San Francisco with one finger less
than he sailed with. While fishing one
day on one of the southern islands he raj
across q lot of abalones on some dry
rocks. In attempting to pick one of
he put his little finger under the shell,
when the animal closed on it, making
him prisoner. The tide began to rise,
and the gallant captain still found him
self held fast, notwithstanding that he
had broken all the blades of his knife
save one in trying to pry open the she'll.
When the tide went above his waist he
concluded that it was better to lose O
finger than be drowned, and so with
the remaining blade of his knife he cut
his little finger off.

Well remember the time We met;
It took but glance for me to learn
What it took me many years TO forget
feel even now the touch OF your hand,
The turn OF your head, the glance OF your
eye.
As placed on your finger the golden band
That bound you to me by loves sweet tie.
Hair that was golden is silvered with gray,
Since that time in worship knelt at yoU
feet
In the years that forever have passed away,
Earth has held no happiness half 30 sweet
You never loved me, know. and yet
You let me think SO; Ind no fears.
Did you think it easy for man to forget
Drown, as woman, his sorrow IN tears?
trust you are happy, ia:r Edith Verne,
wish for you always glad tomorrow;
But, oh, my darling had you been true.
My life would not have been one OF sorrow.
