Mr.. Greeley entertained high respect for
General Taylor, but stoutly opposed his nomina-

that 10 would serve the slave-holding war-malxing
Democracy right to beat them with the very
instrument lby whom they had accomplished their
design of territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but he still
hoped 10 elect Mr. Clay, and came from the
nominating convention disappointed and angry.
The Tribune, however, was the advocate Of prin.
ciplcs, not men. and its support freely extended
TO the Wing candidate With the disappearance
Of Webster and Clay, however, Mr. Greeley was
himself becoming central figure in the Wing
party. and The Tribune wrote its policies. II ii

win over the people, and in the end they had

evitable hour when compromise would cease u
be tolerable TO either side. and when one or th'
other would have to bend. The men whom Mr.
Greeley had gathered about him were not
only the ablest journalists of the day
but they were firm believers in one flag and on,

Can These Thing. Bel

The chief French surgeons and med
ical professors have for some time been
carefully studying the effects Of mes
merism on the female patients OF the
Salpetriere hospital, and M. Babinski.
clinical surgeon OF that establish
ment, has effected series Of expert
ments which would seem to open up
a new future for medical science. In
proving that certain hysterical symp-
toms could be transferred by aid OF the
magnet from one patient to another,
he took two subjects, one dumb
woman afflicted with hysteria, and the
other female who was in state Of
hypnotic trance. A screen was placed
between the two and the hysterical
woman put under the influence Of a
strong magnet. After few moments
she was able to speak, while the one
in the hypnotic trance was rendered
as dumb as the historical woman had
been. Luckily for the healthier pa
tients, these transformations were only
temporary.

Two residents OF Northern Maine
one married, the other straightforward
a partnership for the purpose OF hunt
ing and trapping for the market. John
boarded with Bill and his wife. They
worked early and late and were very
successful. John owned bear-trap
that was far superior to Bills and
much admired by his partner. Every
thing went along well for some time
until Bill began to mistrust that John
was not attending to business so we'll
as he should. 1t made him dissatisfied
and he determined to learn the diff
Guilty. So ono morning he watched
John when he started on the line OF
traps. He found him little later
making love to his wife. Now Bill was
of an exceedingly jealous disposition,
and this last disclosure threw him in
to a perfect rage. John feared person
al violence, and finally made pro-
position son ething like this: Now,
Bill, you anf / are old friends; we've
shot many moose and caught many
bear together / haven't done the
square thing by you; but I don't want
no hard feelings, and II you'll namel
the price I'll settle, and just pick up
my buds and clear out. This PROPOSE
ton sounded like business, and requir-
ed some elaboration. Bill sat long
time thinking the matter over. Final
ly, he said; wall John, I'll tell you;

l tell We what I'll dew: II you say so

"rhe won OF Frozen AR,

Near Dayton, Ore. there is, . vol
i,Ially known as the 'well Of frozen
air." In drilling the well a stratum
Of frozen clay and gravel was encount-
,red at depth of 90 feet. After pass
ing through five feet OF this, numerous
cavities were encountered from which
cold air came in gusts. The escape OF
the air from tho air from the we'll can
be heard roaring for nearly 200 yards.
The air which comes from these sub
terranean depths is so frigid that 1t Is
not possible for anyone to hol3 his
hand over the opening for more than
two minutes without having 1t frozen.
A bucket OF water set over the opening
will freeze through and through within
few hours. II is needless to add that
work was abandoned on the well when
the cavities Of frozen air" wore
tapped.

EASY WAY TO SAVE NIcKELs.
How the New Stamp system Works In
Detroit and Other Cities.


Detroit and Othor Cities.
One of the most important move
ments in the economy OF the American
people is the nickel savings stamp
system. 10, Edwin L. Mack, of the
Citizens Savings Bank of Detroit,
belongs the credit of having introduce
ed this feature into the banking system
Of the United States. The idea was
not original with Mr. Mack, as a
scheme somewhat similar has been in
use at Frankfort-on-th the Main for years.
From the penny savings stamp plan OF
tho great banking city of Germany,
Mr.. Mack conceived the idea of estab-
fishing u nickel stamp scheme for de-
posts in his savings bank in Detroit.
After getting design for a Scent
stamp he had 10000 stamps printed
and started out one morning last June
in buggy and drove through the
suburbs of Detroit and established
thirty agencies. These he located as
q rule, in suburban drug stores. and
when possible in close proximity to
public schools-place5 where school
children we're in the habit OF going to
spend their money. Each agency was
supplied with quantity of stamps and
blank deposit books. These books are
arranged so that each page holds
twenty stamps. When page is COW
cred the bank issues a deposit book
with credit of 81, upon which inter-
est begins at once at per cent. The
advantages of the system are many,
the principal one being that small
amounts of money may be transferred
into credit in the savings bank with
out personal visit to that institution.
In Detroit, where the system has been
longest established. large number of
stores are provided with stamps, and
customers often take them for change
instead Of money. These stamps they
paste in their book, and without miss
ing the amount invested they soon
accumulate 81. The plan has become
very popular in Detroit. During the
first three and one-half months OF its
establishment more than $15, 200 was
deposited. The plan has been recently
adopted by banks in San Francisco,
Columbus, Denver, Los Angeles, st.
Paul, Louisville, and number OF
smaller places.

How to Make Life Happy.

Take time; it is no use to foam or
fret, or do as the angry housekeeper
who has got hold of the wrong key,
and pushes, shakes and rattles it about
the lock until both are broken and the
door remains unopened.
The chief secret OF comfort lies in
not suffering trifles to vex us, and in
cultivating our underground OF small
pleasures.
Try to regard present vexations as
you will q month hence.
Since we cannot get what we like,
let us like what we can get.
1t is not riches, it is not poverty, ii
Is human nature that is the trouble.
The world is like looking glass.
Laugh at 1t and it laughs back; frown
at 1t and it frowns back.
Angry thoughts canker the mind
and dispose it to the worst temper in
the world-that of fixed malice and
revenge. 1t is while in this temper
that most men become criminals.

Dialect stories.

In my opinion, writes good critic.
dialect stories are much overdone. OF
late many dialect stories have appeared
and more or less surfeited the public,
Sometimes they are very readable,
especially when they are true to ma
ture. never try to get away from
the real talk of the colored man when
writing a story where he has to be
quoted. The original Virginia darkey
is good model to follow. He is, as u
rule if he is old, full of pleasing rem
iniscences, and is always contrasting
the present with the past, much to tho
disparagemento OF the former. think
it will not be long before the old typo
of Virginia darkey will disappear. A
younger generation is coming on and
they have nothing to make them es-
pecially original. 1t IS melodious to
the ear to hear an old darkey talk. He
drops all his g's and deals chiefly with
vowels. He never utters a cultural
word. His sentences flow like aepho-
netic vocabulary sliding down river
OF vowels.

Ingenious is one adjective that de-
scribes the special taxes imposed upon
Jews in Russia. They seem devised
with the object Of causing the greatest
amount OF humiliation and inconven-
fence possible.
A fixed sum has TO be paid for every
animal and fowl killed according to-
the Jewish regulations, and an addi-
tional tax is levied upon the sale.
A Jew who has taken a degree at q
university may, however, purchase two

free OF tax II he be single, or four and
one-half pounds II he be married.
There are further taxes on candles,
on rents Of buildings, on the gross In

Woodbridge, N. j.
Charles w. Maxwell. OF Strawbridge,
Miss, in conversation with st. Louis
Star Sayings reporter said:
ut Is popularity believed that all
clay pipes are either made in Europe
or from clay brought from the other
hemisphere, but such Is not the case,
as very large share OF the clay pipes
made in America are from clay found
at and near Woodbridge. N. j. The
clay comes by the carload and the first
step toward preparing it for molding
is to sufficiently dampen it with water
to make it pliable. This is done by
placing 1t in tank where it soaks for
twenty-four hours. 1t is then ham,
mered with iron bars. thus Kidding it
OF any Jumps or dry chunks. Then
the molding begins, the workman TAX
ing lump OF clay in each hand and
by squeezing and rolling it molds the
pieces into a rough stem about three
times as large as the finished pipe
stem, having a rough ball at its end.
These rolls, as they are called, are
piled on wooden trays, sixteen to each
tray, after which they are dried either
by the sun or by artificial means ac-
cording to the weather.
After having been dried. not to hard
ness, but sufficiently to dispose of all
superfuous dampness, the rolls are
ready to have the stem drilled and tho
bowl formed. To drill the stem the
workman holds small iron rod the
size of the stem holes. and with his
left hand pulls the clay roll over the
rod instead of showing the rod through
the stem. To do this the workman is
guided solely by the sense of touch in
his finger tips, and that sense is 80 ac-
curate that the hole is invariably made
correctly. The ball at the end of the
roll is turned Up and then roll and rod
are placed in an iron matrix which
presses the pliable clay into the desired
outside pattern. The matrix ard its
contents are placed in a hand press and
the workman. by pulling lever, forms
the hole Of the pipe bowl. The mould

passes to the hands of the trimmer

Ingenious and Original Device Of . Thrifty
Tacoma Woman.

A8Sobn8 svV@@&@@>~
Mrs. Hannah Dober, the mother Of
FIVE little Dobers. has invented the
most unique toilet apparatus on record,
says the Tacoma News. 1t Is a ma
chine that battles, rinses, drips and
dries the entire Dober brood simultane-
ously by the simple turning OF crank.
The Dobers live on the water 'front.'
near the old salmon cannery. back OF
Old Town. Like many OF the houses
in that vicinity the home OF the Dobers
is built on piles. At high tide the back
porch OF this. humble home extends
over the water. and this fact was fa-
vorable to the idea which Mother
Dober had worn concealed In her mind
for some time. With the assistance OF
her husband. the enterprising but
overworked woman cut hole in the
flooring of the back porch about four
feet square, and then built a windlass
like those in use on old-fashioned well
curbs. Then she got quantity OF
stout wire gauze or screens and made
h-crate or basket that would easily
slip through the hole in the floor. This
basket, which was about three feet
deep. was hung in sings fastened at
the four corners and then attached to
the drum OF the windlass. Tho baby
washer was now complete and ready
to be put in operation.
Bright and early every morning the
five little Dobcrs are hustled out OF
bed, the eldest, girl of nine, though
small for her age, is IN extremely
handy young miss and great help to
her mother. She peels the nighties off
her little brothers and sisters, likewise
her own, and loads them into the wire
basket. Next she throws in n handful
OF wafered soap and then joins the little
band Of candidates for immersion.
When everything is ready Mother
Dobor, who has been attending to her
household duties in the meantime,
comes out and mans the windlass crank.
She lowers her happy little flock down
into the clear, cold water and gives
them thorough dousing by working
the crank backward and forward. This
movement and the commotion made In
the basket by the children produces
lather from the soap and cleanses the
kids in a manner equal II not superior,
to the regulation hand bath.
Unlike most children, who kick and
raise fuss when being scrubbed, the
little Dobers actually enjoy their matlr
final plunge bath.

were on the palace steps. The regalia
of Baroda is valued at f3, 900, 600 ster-
ling. We were first shown the jewels
worn by the maharajah on state occa-
sions.
These consist Of gorgeous collar Of
500 diamonds, some OF them as big as
walnuts, arranged in five rows, sur
rounded by top and bottom row OF
emeralds of the same size; the pendant
is famous diamond, called The Star
OF tho Deccan," an aigrette to match
which is worn in the turban; then fol-
lowed strings OF pearls of perfect
roundness, graduated from the size of
n pea to that OF a large marble; won
drous rings, necklaces. clusters of
sapphires and rubies as big as grapes.
The greatest marvel of all is car
pet, about 10x6 feet, made entirely OF
strings of pure and colored pearls, with
great central and corner circles of
diamonds. This carpet took three
years to make and cost 100000. This
was one of Khande Rao's mad freaks
and was intended to be sent to Mecca
to please n Mohammedan lady who had
fascinated him, but the scandal of such
thing being done by a Hindoo prince
was too serious, and it never left Bar
oda.
We were also taken to see two guns,
weighing $50 pounds each, of solid
gold, with two companions of silver,
the ammunition wagons, bullock, har.
ness and ramrods ali being silver.

ans) and birds Of every description.
They also have moambo or palm chops
and fish. A great delicacy, so consid-
cred by Europeans and natives alike,
is elephants feet and trunk. They
have somewhat the taste OF veal. To
prepare them the natives dig u hole
about five feet deep in the sand and in
it build large fire. After the sand is
thoroughly heated the fire is removed.
leaving only the ashes in the hole. The
trunk and fish are placed in this hole
and covered with leaves and afterward
Withhold sand. In two hours they are
done.
All carcasses OF animals which are to
be cooked are placed on blocks of wood
and are pounded until every bone is
broken, care being taken not to tear or
bruise the skin. They are then boiled
or roasted on an open wood fire or in
hot sand or ashes, without removing
the hide or feathers. The cooking is Of
very inferior grade, the only spices
used being salt and pepper.
