Uniting the Ends of Lead Pine.

y convenient way to unite the ends of
pipes, accordingto The American Engineer.
is rs follows: Whatever the size of the pipe
may be, procure IL block of hard wood, say
four or five inches long and four inches in
diameter, bore a hole straight through the
center, so nearly the size Of the pipe that
-ne block can be driven on the end Of the
pipe with n light hammer If one has a
-et of augur bits it viii not be difficult to
select bit of the proper size to make "a
water tight fit. Let the block be driven
clear on the pipe, so that the end OF the
pipe will be flush or even with the end of
the block. Now place the two ends o. the
pipe together, and drive the block off one
pipe on the other, until the joint will lie at
the middle Of the block. If the hole in the
block IS made of the proper size. the block
will fit so closely that the joint viii be
water tight; and if the ends of the pipe are
dressed off true and square, the joint will
be so strong that it viii sustain the pres
sure OF a head or column of water one nun
dred feet high. Iron pipe may be united in
the same manner. Should the Joint leak a
rifle, let single nails be driven into the
wood around the pipe so as to press the
timber firmly all around the pipe.

Charcoal from Sawdust.

II Is learned from the London Journal of
The Society OF Arts that sawdust and
shavings, practically waste substances are
turned to account by NJ. Claimant, of Paris,
Tor the production of a finely divided yege-
table charcoal, which is intended to be ap-
piled for the removal of unpleasant flavor
in ordinary French wine. The charcoal is
also available as a filtering medium, es-
peclally in distilleries, where it is said to
be capable of filtering forty times its vol
ume of alcohol; whereas the vegetable
charcoal of commerce, gradually becoming
scarcer and dearer, and which requires
grinding and often recarbonization, will
only filter about three times its volume.

Wounded Affections.

st. Peter Herald:-The course Of
true love usually runs smoothly, but
there are cases of love which do not.
Such seems to be the case of one Rev.
r. G. Jones, of LeSueur county. Said
gentleman is seyenty-one years of age
and a widower of but a year. 1t seems
that he became somewhat enamored
of young lady of thirty winters and
sought to lead her to the altar. The
young lady was obstinate and refused
to be led whereupon said Jones Of
fered her $4,000 in cash to be his. The
young lady accepted the proposition
when it apparently occurred to the
would-be Benedict that the price was
too high. Consequently he annulled
the engagement. The maiden wept
copiously but the tears had no effect
upon the obdurate lover. Her $1,000
love turned to hate and she is now
about to bring suit to recover damages
for wounded affections. Lawyers
have be9n engaged, papers served and
trouble is in store for the old man.
The latter by the way is pretty well
healed and is reported worth 500, 900.

SINGING HIS OLD SONG.

In his Introductory remarks at the
Democratic ratification meeting last
Thursday evening. Mr.. Cleveland
furnished fresh evidence that he was
still laboring under the same misap-
prehensions as regards our tariff sys-
TENS, that clouded his brain when he
wrote his famous tariff message. 1--WE
saw. . said he, 1.-The money of the peo-
pie unnecessarily eXtorted from them
under the guise of taxation" This is
his old familiar song, that has since
been repeated by every disciple of free
trade, until it is worn thread bare.
BY the above remark Mr.. Cleveland
refers to his old statement that the
duty is added to the price of the home
manufacture, thing that has been
exploded time and again, and Mr..
Cleveland would have hard work to
produce fact that would verify his
assertions.
Again he says; "We saw that this
was the result of scheme perpetual
ed for the purpose of eXacting tribute
from the poor for the benefit of the
rich" There can be no doubt but
that this is an indirect referenc to
the Mckinley law, and that he intend
ed thereby to confirm his previous as
sertions that the manufacturer was
bleeding the consumer under guise of
raising funds for the federal treasury.
But if this were true then the oft re-
peated free trade assertion, that the
Mckinney law has increased prices
would be true, which is not the case.
The American Economist recently
compiled table containing the aver
age price for the entire country of
tifty-siX articles that enter into the
daily use of the people. This table
shows that out of these fifty-six arti-
cles only one has increased in price
since the Mckinley law took effect,
the other fiftY-fve articles are held at
the same price or cheaper, and all are
cheaper than in 1857, the palmy days
of free trade. This kind of evidence
goes much further than the mere as
sertions of Mr.. Cleveland and his
school of theories.
The great trouble with the average
free trader is that he looks only at
two extremes. At one end he sees
the millionaire, at the other the oc-
eupant of the hovel. He does not
stop to consider how much ability has
to do with the conditions of those two
persons, but Immediately ascribes it
to the tariff. AS we said, he looks
only to the two extremes, he fails to
take note of the great prosperous class
that goes to make up the nation, and
that comes in between these two ex-
tremes. They are not only the build
ers of the nation but they are the con-
SumerS also, and one has only to note
the Injuries they indulge in to meas
IRE their prosperity.

PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

SIGEoRD, son of Hendrick Ibsen.
has become engaged to Bergliott
Bjornson, daughter of the Norwegian
litterateur. Young Ibsen is a physi-
clan, quite well known in Munich,
where his father has, until lately,
been residing for many years, and the
bride-elect contemplated a profession
al musical career. The wedding is
not expected to occur in the immedi-
ate future.
THE army is to be set to work at
professional studies, and an officer
will hereafter find promotion harder
than ever. The new regulations will
go into effect year from next Janu-
airy. An important feature of the
forthcoming order is the establishment
of lyceum at every post in the army.
Every officer in the service will be re-
quired to prepare and read paper
upon such professional subjects as he
may elect at certain specified times
before these lyceums. Attendance is
also made compulsory.
SIR JOHN STEEL, the Scotch sculp-
tor who died at Edinburg recently. is
best known in America for his eXecu-
tion of the statues of Burns and Scott,
which stand at the southern end of
the Hall in Central Park, New York.
He was the son of an Aberdeen wood
carver. Sir John was 81, and for ten
years preceding his death had done
but little work. He was a most gen.
ial man, with the fine manners of
a Scottish gentleman of the old school.
He was an entertaining converser and
possessed fund of good stories.

SUNDAY CLOSING.

The action of the Methodist confer
ence in threatening boycott of the
Worlds Fair unless the management
shall close the gates on Sunday, has
been followed by the Presbyterian
synod in like, but somewhat modi-
fed, strain. The slight difference in
the wording of the resolutions of the
! two bodies is to the credit of the Pres
| byterians, for they say that unless $50
and-so' is done I'VE mag discourage
the Presbyterian people of the State
from contributing in any way to it's
success either by their presence or
by their exhibits" while the Metho-
dists take the more positive grounds
that 1--WE ,cill,'' etc. The synod paid
its attention to the state commits
sioners by adopting the following
That our state committee OF the Columbian
exposition be requested to use their influence to
secure the cosing of the exposition on the Sab
BATH and in these efforts fail that the Min
nesota commissioners be requested to close the
departments of the Minnesota exhibits ON the
Sabbath, and that our stated clerk be directed
to forward the entire action on this subject to
said commissioners.
1t is the wish Of many outside the
church that the Exposition be closed
on Sunday. But all advocates of Sun
day closing must needs bear in mind
that there are many interests to be
consulted in this matter, not least
among which is whether the moral
effect of turning vast multitude of
people loose in the streets of great
city like Chicago to pass the day no
one knows how, or letting them have
access to the grounds to look through
the great buildings where temptation
for evil thoughts and acts are not.
There is great number of people
who will be unable to visit the Fair
on any other day of the week. A poor
laboring man with a family cannot af-
ford to lose day or two or three in
which to make an inspection of the
exhibits and to him the closing of the
Fair on Sunday means prohibition to
his attendance.
There are many, very many, inter-
ests to consider, as we have said, and
after the management has studied the
situation in all its phases, the public
should acquiesce in their decision. 1t
is not ChriStianlike nor Americanlike
to threaten boycott under any circum-
stances.
