A DAY or two ago a number of es- teemed republican contemporaries joy fully copied an article which first ap- peared in the Norwich Evening Record, which boasted that American made tin was used in that city, by J. P. Barstow & Co. Their joy was short lived, how ever, as it has been discovered that J. P. Barstow & Go have received no "A mer- ican tim" they have never had any American tin for sale; there is no American tin in Norwich, and the 4,O0O feet of the first American tin roof ever laid in eastern Connecticut" on the coal sheds of John A. Morgan &c Son. is no more American tin than it is American zinc. It is simply and only American ''tern' plate, which the w. & E. Taylor company of Philadelphia are manufac- turing, which has been manufactured in America for years, and which is composed of the following ingredients A sheet back, over 90 per cent of lead and trace of tin to whiten the product little. Furthermore, there is nc American tin for sale in the world, ex cept, perhaps, few instructive speci
 mems. For instance, one Philadelphia firm has small block of solid Ameri can tin for show purposes in it's shop
 and across it is this eloquent legend
 It cost us just $25, ,00O to work out this
 block of American tin"

Jackets and Canes,

The modish cape of the season corre- spends either with the hat, bonnet or toque or with the gown with which it is worn. Even the cape of fur is no ex- ception. Either the gown worn with it is trimmed with corresponding bands of fur or it appears as a part of the garniture of the headgear. Just why Dame Fashion has discriminated in favor of the jacket, which is worn inde- pendently, as it was last season, with out reference to hat or frock, does not appear. However, the fact remains, and while the cape unrelated by re- semblance to any other part of the cos tune is still worn, it is not regarded as strictly good form. A chic and elegant cape with capote to match is worn. The cape is of Russian blue vicune cloth striped in gold yellow and bordered with blue velvet the shade of the cloth. On each side of the front is broad band of gold passementerie. About the neck of the cape is full ruffle of soft lace which extends down the front forming a fchu and plastron. The capote is of blue velvet on which is appliqued gold passementerie like that which orna- ments the cape. About the edge of the capote is ruche of blue black ostrich feathers, and French heads of the same shade with blue aigrette form the trim ming Chicago Post.

---------------------- HOME INFLUENCES.
The Foundation Stones in the Character
 of Children.

of Children.
 Unhappy and undisciplined homes are the caldrons of great iniq uity. Par ents harsh and cruel on the one hand, or on the other hand loose in their gov ernment, are raising up generation of vipers. A home where scolding and fretfulness are dominant is blood rela- tion to the gallows and the peniten- tiary! Petulance is a serpent that crawls up into the family nursery Why, there are parents who even dren. They scold them for not loving Christ. They have an exasperating way of doing their duty. Blessed is the family altar at which the chill dren 1neel. Blessed is the cradle in which the Christian mother rocks the Christian child. Blessed is the song the little ones sing at nightfall when sleep is closing the eyes and loosening the hand from the toy on the pillow Blessed is that mother whose every heart throb is a prayer for her children's $ welfare. The world grows old, and the stars will cease to illuminate it, and the waters to refresh it, and the noun tains to guard it, and it's long story of sin and shame and glory and triumph will turn to ashes; but influences that started in the early home roll on and up through all eternity-blooming in all the joy, waving in all the triumph, exulting in all the song, or shrinking back into all the darkness. Father, mother, which way are you leading your children?-Talmage.

THE next speaker of the house will be MT Mills-C Crisp McMillin-Sp Springer Hatch, just as certain as the caucus meets next Saturday. There are no signs visible that would justify one in dropping any portion of this composite name. In plain everyday talk, these five gentle men and their friends are engaged in conducting one of the liveliest and the most uncertain. campaigns for the speakership ever known. Each of them is apparently confident of winning. It is conceded by the other candidates that Mills and Crisp are well in the lead, but they contend that neither of them can get votes enough to get nomi- mated, and that after two or three bal lots are taken without result, there will be a stampede to other candidates. MT Crisp's friends boldly claim his nomina- ton without fail on the first ballot, while the advocates of MT Mills say that he will be nominated on the second, or at the outside the third ballot.

THE selection of Minneapolis as zthe location for the republican convention is not an act of friendship for Harrison, and it is almost openly hostile to Nc Kinley, who has been openly denounced in interviews published by members of delegations sent to represent the north west before the republican national committee. In Minnesota and the northwest generally Blaine is advocated by many republicans who are hostile to both Harrison and Mckinley, and the selection of Minneapolis clearly ex- presses a desire on the part of the com mittee managers that Blaine should have an open field and should lose no chances,

Layer Cake,

In making layer cake one sometimes tires of using jelly or chocolate for fill ing, and figs and raisins make an agree able change, as well as a richer cake. Take one-half pound of figs and one cup of raisins. Cut the figs in half and steam the raisins for half an hour, then chop while Warm. Beat the white of an egg to a stiff froth and add to the fruit together with two-thirds of a cupful of granulated sugar and one teaspoonful of vanilla. This is now ready to be spread between the layers of cake. A good formula for layer cake is as follows: One cupful of sugar, one-half cupful ot butter, one-half cup. full of sweet milk, the beaten whites of four eggs, two cupfuls of four and . heaping teaspoonful of baking pow der.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Some interesting researches on
method of detecting changes on written
documents have been communicated
to the Paris Academy Of Medicine by
NJ. G. Bruylants. 1t is shown that
when paper sized and calendered Is
partially moistened, then, after drying,
subjected to the action of iodine vapor,
the parts which have been wet assume
a violet tint. while those which have
escaped water grow yellow or brown
The intensity Of the coloration varies
with the time of exposure to the iodine
Places where water has previously
fallen and dried may still be detected
after the paper is completely saturated
with water. the Tbsts which were first
wet being turned an intense violet blue
by the iodine, while the other parts be
come blue. Even rubbings, such a:
those which are made by bread crumb;
and elude discovery by other methods,
are clearly brought out by iodine vaper,
and erased tTacings of soft pencil are
made legible.
The certainty of the results depends
much upon the quality of the paper
and the elapse of time, irregular wet
ting or rubbing giving fainter differ
ence after three months or more than
when the manipulations are recent,
and the indications being less clear on
thinly sized paper.-Boston Transcript.
