TIMOTHY TUPPENN US
ROMANCE.
CHATTER I.

Timothy Tuppenny, Esq, MA, was rev.
erenced by all his male acquaintance. They
all knew him to be gentleman OF vast In
dependent means. liberal-hearted old soul,
though a perfect gourmand. His social
status was an enviable one in many respects,
but in great many others he was the ooJect
of pity to large number of his friends.
Timothy Tuppenny, Esq. M.A.-whch
latter degree was jocularly translated Mas
ter-of-Asses by his most Intimate friends
was one of those men whose every actlon IS
done without thought, whose daily deeds are
never chronicled in diary, and whose good
acts are always covered by the dark veil of
secrecy. But Timothy Tuppenny. Esq. had
many enemies, bitter unrelenting foes. and
they were the mothers of manageable
daughters. He was passatly good-lookng
fellow, but his well-filled money-bags atoned
for any deficiency in personal looks. Many
a maiden had, iastigated by dear mamma,
made covert overtures to Timothy in the di-
rection matrimonial, but he remained stoi-
cally unbending toward to the sex. The fact
was Timothy Tuppenny, Esq, MA, was a
confirmed woman-hater.
"Bah" he would say. give me world
where woman is nonentity, where man is
lord and master of all things. where the art
full designs of perforated population have
never demoralized the mind of man"
This was Timothy'S ideal world. aud in
his solitary bachelor seclusion the idea that
such a haven of peace and rest really ex-
iSted soon in the course OF time grew upon
him, and he began to pine for the kBowledge
of lis whereabouts.
Marry, Tuppenny, old fellow" was the
constant taunt of Jack Romance, the only
b Benedict he numbered among his friends :;
marry, man; you don't know the height
of bliss that you can attain with a loyable
wife"
POUNDS, scorpions and rattlesnakes"
said Tuppenny; this house. sir, is never
profaGed by the mention of a sex who are
one degree only removed from the fend
himself. Artful, designing impS of world
unknown TO ME, sir, are they; and il you
would continue to number me among your
friends cease, sir, cease l say to pollute
this building with the mention of their
NAME
keep your wool on, Tuppenny," said
Jack; don't put your back up over a
tritle, man. | only thought to give you a
bit of sound advice. for I've found marriage
elysianic happines $"
"Elysianic fddlesticks." reared Tup-
penny; "a short dream. sir. nothing more !;
moment of folly, with lifelong repent
ance TO follow"
After this outburst Jack ceased to men,
ton the subject further TO his friend Tup
penny, but he laid deep plot, whereby he
vowed that Timothy should change the tune
of his song, and he declared he would over
come all obstacles that threatened to mar
lis SUI cess. He vowed in twelve months
Tuppenny should marry.

hearty wishes of great success to the

to the friends who have cheered and
encouraged him, all the gratitude OF
an exceedingly grateful nature.
Without expecting great old age,

How Spools Are Made.

Birch wood is preferred. The wood is
first sawed into sticks four or five feet long
and seven-eighths of an inch to three inches
square, according to the size Of the spool to
be produced. These sticks are thoroughly
seasoned. They are sawed into short blocks
and dried in hot air kiln. At the time
they are sawed holes are bored perpendicu-
larry through each block, which is set on
end under rapidly revolving, long shanked
augur Next, one whirl of each little block
against some little knives that are turning
at lightning speed, fashions it into spool
according to the pattern desired and that,
too, at the rate of one n second for each set
Of knives A row of small boys feed the
spool making machines by simply placing
the blocks in a spout, selecting the best
and throwing out the knotty ard defective
stock. The machine is automatic, but there
are some things which it cannot do, hence
the employment of the small boys above
mentioned. After the spools are turned
they are placed in a large drum and re-
volved rapidly until they have taken on a
fine polish. For some special purposes they
are dyed yellow, black or red, according
to taste. When one sees a spool Of thread
marked 900" or 1900 yards" it does not sig
nifty that the thread has been measured,
but that the spool has been gagged, and is
supposed to have that amount of thread
upon it, says The Implement Herald.

COL. VISSCHER'S RETIREMENT

The announcement of Colonel w. l..
Visscher's retirement from the editorial
control of the HERALD, which appears
i'm this issue, will be read with sincere
regret by hundreds of his warm friends
and admirers, not only in this city, but
in countless homes i'm all parts of the
Union where the HERALD is daily
read. 1t is due in a large degree to his
fertile brain and facile pen, to his ex-
tensive acquaintance with public men
and his long and varied experience in
work that the HERALD, though one of
the youngest of the dailies of the Pacific
coast, is one of the best known papers
in the United States. 1t has done a
mighty work for this fair young city
and all its people, and the able writer,
genial companion and generous, whole
souled man who has, until this date,
been the presiding genius of the edi-
torial department, has well earned the
most cordial and friendly wishes of all
with whom his associations have
brought him in contact here. His re-
lations with the new management
of this journal have ever been of the
friendliest character, and it is
their most hearty wish that his
lines may always be cast in pleasant
places, and that the choicest blessings
Of health and fortune may attend him
in whatever field his varied talents
may find future play.
His numerous friends i'm this, the city
Of his present residence, and, let us
hope, his future home as well, will be
glad to learn that now, at least, he does
not contemplate removal. His duties
as chairman Of the board of tide land
appraisers of this county will occupy a
considerable portion of his time for sew
eral months, and he will also respond
to numerous requests to lecture i'm vari-
GUS portions of the state.

Direction of Wind In Thunderstorms.

A correspondent writes to Science, from
Lyons n. Y, as follows; 1t has been no
ticed in connection with thunderstorms in
this vicinity this season that in every in
stance there has been an outflow of air in
every direction from the storm, extending
even beyond the area of precipitation and
cloudiness. For example, in the case of a
storm appearing upon the southwestern
horizon and moving due east, and passing
thence three or four miles south of this viii
lage, the weather vane pointed directly to-
ward it continuously, veering slowly from
southwest to southeast, showing that the
wind came steadily from the storm The
same thing also occurred in the case of
storm which appeared upon the north
western horizon and moved eastward, pass
ing three or four miles north of the village.
In this case the vane pointed directly to-
ward the storm throughout, the winds
being quite brisk In other instances in
which the storms passed directly over the
village the same thing was manifest, the
vane shifting sharply from west to east as
the storms passed. In previous years /
have noticed the puff of wind in front of
an advancing thunderstorm moving in the
same direction as the storm itself and oc-
curing just before the rain began to fall,
but my attention has never been called to
such an outflow of air in every direction as
has been apparent in connection with
thunderstorms recently. Whatever may
be its explanation, It certainly Is entirely
inconsistent with the idea Of an indraft
and uprush at the center Of the storms in
which il occurs

WHERE THE BURDEN LIES

1t has long been the cry of the
Democracy that "the tariff is a taxi
and there is no valid reason why any
good Republican should not agree with
his Democratic brethren thus far. The
tax, however, as has been conclusively
demonstrated by the operation of the
Mckinley bill, is upon the foreign
competitors for American trade. In
this connection significant points are
furnished by an Associated Press cor
respondent, who has recently visited
several Of the most important indus
trial centres of Germany, with view
Of ascertaining the precise facts con-
corning the operation Of this law.
Frank IIeslie's notes that call the
evidences at hand agree that the mea-
sure has had paralyzing effect upon
certain industries. AT Chemnitz, for
instance, it appears that the hosiery in
dustry has suffered greatly, and that
large reductions have been made in the
wages of employees, because of the loss
of the American trade. This report
shows that many Of the operatives earn
only two dollars a week, and it is I'M
derstood that there is a movement on
foot TO induce these people to emigrate
to America and establish their industry
here, to which not even a free-trader
can object. In England wages are also
being reduced in all branches of trade
affected by the Mckinley bill, and a
leading Welsh banker has expressed
the opinion that the only remedy for
Great Britain is to repeal the new tariff
act"
Actuated by burning desire for an
economic change in this country in or
der that "change" may be more plenti-
full in theirs, our beloved brethren
across the water will doubtless mani
fest a lively interest in the next presi-
dental election and much good English
gold will flow into the campaign fund
of the misguided horde who seem to
consider Democracy and patriotism
synonymous terms in America.
The signs of the times, however, very
clearly indicate that the American peo-
pie have not yet become philanthro-
pists to such degree as TO give aid and
comfort to foreign industries at the ex-
pense of our own.
Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1891-09-01

If Governor Pattison, of Pennsyl-
vania, should be the Democratic presi-
dental nominee in 1892, and James G.
Blaine, once of the same state, the Re
publican nominee, the Keystone state
would witness the hottest campaign in
the history of the county. Both men
are immensely popular there, and it
would go without saying that a vote
would be cast by every voter i'm the
state.-Kansas City Times.

Nature and the Third Party

1t is wonderful how nature comes up
to knock out the third party. The in
creased value of the farm products this
year are over 81 200, 900, 900, and if any
of the sturdy yoemen of the soil can
find any time to cry against good
times after doing his average days
work and counting the interest on his
deposits, it will be proof that he is an
agitator instead of farmer.-Spokane

TO THE READERS OF THE
HERALD"

The writer hereof approaches the
subject before him with feelings of sad
ness that he will not attempt to depict.
Eighteen months ago he came to the
then little settlement i'm the woods on
Bellingham bay, that had been named
Fairhaven, for the purpose, with his
associates, of publishing a newspaper
that would help to build a city. The
phenomenal success Of both the city
and the newspaper have become widely
known. Working alongside of enter
prising, liberal, public-spirited citizens,
who were here and who came after,
the HERALD, it will be conceded, did
much toward the upbuilding of this
beautiful place, called the Focal City,
because toward it from every direction
came evidences, promises and prospects
of everything social, commercial and
financial, calculated to construct
and continue a metropolis. All these
promises and prospects still hold good.
Fairhaven's resources and advantages,
as so often and earnestly set forth in
these columns, are as good as ever, and
this city is as sure to grow to metro
politan greatness as that the world
lives and thrives.
1t had been one Of the fondest hopes
of this writer to remain and participate
in all this success, as the editor of the
leading newspaper. But circumstances
that have interviewed direct and de
mand otherwise. So, with this issue of
the HERALD, the subscriber regretful'y
leaves it.
For himself, he has TO say that his
intentions have been good, and those
who may quote that blades is paved
with good Intentions" will please re-
member that heaven is also, for it Is
not probable that people ever get to
heaven without good intentions. The
writer has tiled TO do his work with a
heart for truth and justice, and with
an unfailing love for Fairhaven and
the state of Washington. He has made
hundreds Of dear and devoted friends
in Fairhaven, whom he sorrowfully
parts with, so far las this parting goes,
but he hopes TO be long citizen with
them, doing what he can, in another
sphere of life, to advance the interests
of Fairhaven, and to assist in promot-
ing the welfare Of the city and country.
Multifarious duties, some of them
Of public nature, demand his
attention Immediately, and while

ments on land are so clumsy that he is
obliged to use the cluster of strong feath-
ers forming the tip of the tail as an addi-
tional means of support when standing up
right In the water however, the limbs
which are of so little use to 1t on land en-
able it to move with the greatest swiftness
and ease.
The color of these birds is a pure white
on the under part of the body, and black
or grayish blue above. Bands Of yellow
ish color have sometimes been observed on
the breast and the sides of the neck, and
tufts Of bright yellow feathers about the
eye A popularity of the plumage Of the
adult male bird is the dark band surround
ing the lower part of the body, as shown
in the illustration. The average length of
the birds is about two feet.
The eggs are laid on rocky islands and on
cliffs bordering the sea. The nest is rough
ly constructed of stones and shells, the
principal object being apparently to raise
the eggs from the ground and keep them
dry. Usually single egg only is found
In the nest Of a pure white color and
globular in form, like that of duck. After
five weeks incubation the young manchots
make their appearance, and are fed from
the beaks Of their parents with partially
digested food regurgitated from the stom-
ach. After the responsibility for their
young ceases the old birds commence to
moult, and remain in a sort of stupor
until the new feathers are grown and 1t is
safe for them to take to the water once
more.
When removed to the northern hemis-
phere the manchot tends instinctively to
delay the nesting season about six months,
TO correspond with the difference in the
seasons between the two hemispheres In
termediate types of animals like the bird
described are the strongest witnesses to
the truth of the theory of development.

Careful attention should be given by
the people to the selection of a fl per-
son to serve as school trustee, as sue
cessor to Mr.. George NJ. SoRelle, whose
term is about expiring and whose con-
tinued absence from the city seems
probable. The election will occur next
Saturday, and it is important that a
safe, conservative and at the same
time wide awake and progressive citi-
zen be chosen. And i'm the choice of q
clerk, 1T seems TO the HERALD to be
well also to recognize the fact that the
present incumbent, Mr.. George II.
Watrous, has served the district eff
GENTLY and faithfully for little recon-
pense, and well merits reelection for
another term and something more
nearly approaching fair compensation
tor his services.
