DEAR S1Rs- The following experience
that have had with your P. & B. COM
pound will speak for itself, as to the merits
of your article, and l take much pleasure
in giving you the facts.
On June Is fire broke out in building
adjoining mine. The building was totally
consumed by the flames, and the flying
sparks and cinders were falling in great
numbers on my roof covered with your P.
&B. The effect was to soften the mate

add am highly pleased with it.

Our Eyes are Close Together.

The effort of the war department to
secure field glass for the service of
greater power than the one they now
use has discovered the fact that the
eyes of the average American are
closer together than those of men in
foreign countries. The double glass,
known as the field glass, now used is
weaker than that used in the armies of
Europe. 1t is only from five to six
powers entirely too weak for the pur-
pose. The only glass they can get of
sufficient power is a single spy-glass,
which is defective in that it does not
take in a broad enough field. The best
military glass in use is that with which
the German army is supplied. An at
tempt was made to adopt them by the
war department, but it was found that
the eyes of the glasses were so far
apart that they could not be used by
Americans. The department is study
ing now to overcome this difficulty

New Wrinkle in Picture Frames.

The new picture frames of oak or chest
nut shaded by the rubbing in of umber
from light at the inside to dark at the
outer edge are the latest fad in their
line: They are especially effective when
used around a tinted print of a shade
nearly matching the edge of the frame.
1t is predicted, however, that they will
soon become too common and go out
of fashion. Some dealers in New York
won't put such frames on pictures sold
by them at all, claiming that the style
violates artistic taste. At one dealers
q still more striking frame is having
run of popularity. 1t is of broad
oak with real bars half an inch thick,
colored to look like iron, set across it
from side to side. Imitation hinges on
one side and real-looking paddock on
the other increase the resemblance to
the barred door of a cage. With a
picture of the head of lion or other
beast behind it the effect is startling,
if not strictly artistic. c.-NeW York Sun.

The Kind of Candidate They Wanted

An old settler tells this story about
New Mexican politics: When Fran
cisco Manzanares was running against
Tranquilano Lunda for delegate to
Congress some years ago l happened
to be present at a meeting in Silver
City, where Luna delivered a political
harangue in which he compared his
immaculate honesty to the alleged cor
rupt methods of Manzanares. Eel
low-citizens,'' he said, Il do not come
among You to buy your votes. want
them to be given to me honestly. am
not like my opponent, whose loaded
wagons, filled with goods of all kinds
to be given for your votes, incumber
every trail and road in the Southwest"
He did not get further in his speech;
the crowd yelled themselves hoarse
with cries of ''Viva Manzanares." He
was the kind of delegate they wanted.

Estbetic Chicago.

Chicago, notwithstanding its pork. is
city of considerable culture. Its pa
pers laugh at the idea of esthetic Chi
cago, and when anything is said about
the culture of the city the contrast is
always drawn between hogs and art.
1t has, however, 200 resident artists,
and its Academy of Fine Arts is self
supporting and is attended yearly by
between 400 and 500 pupils. 1t gives
art exhibitions each fall, and at the
loan exhibitions number of fine pic
lures of the city are brought forth. It
is no wonder, however, that Chicago
has many fine pictures. 1t is full of
millionaires, and the millionaire of to-
day, whether he makes his money out
of pork or politics, or gets it by inheri-
tance, straightway starts off to Europe
and buys the prettiest things he can
find. The Americans are the best buy
ers Of the world to-day, and they pay
higher prices, and, as rule, demand
good work. They want the finest of
houses, and some of these Chicago mil
honaires' palaces would open the eyes

Footprints of the Worlds History

10 VI LilC nv oA1o AAiotoA
1t is relief to pick up a new book that
Is at once thrilling, romantic, wholesome,
pure and true. Such work is ''Footprints
of the Worlds History" the latest and
greatest work of the two celebrated histor-
iaus, John Clark Sidpath and VIM. S.
Bryan. These distinguished gentlemen,
having won their laurels by independent
writings, have co-operated on this work,
and produced gem ':of the purest ray
serene" 1t is not a dry uninteresting
statement of the plain facts, but rather
each of the most important events of his
tory has been taken up and described by a
master of language, who holds the reader
entranced as he wends his way along the
path of history, following carefully in the
footprints of progress.
We arc delighted with this superb vol
ume. Perfect in thought, superb in style,
and magnificent in execution. The bind
ings are sumptuous, as are also the many
illustrations aud colored plates. The Pub
hshers have rightly concluded that such a
gem should have rich setting.
It is valuable addition to literature. 1t
is d book for the old as well as the young;
the married well as the single; the gay as
well as the grave. Everybody will read it
with equal eagerness and profit. It is sold
only through agents, and the pu blishers' ad
vertisement appears in another column.

A Dressmaker's Tuck.

A smart dressmaker not only learns
to round bust. but she can so deity
pad the sleeves that when the wrist is
seen it seems only the slender termina-
ton of a plump arm. The gown of a
thin girl in New York, one who has the
reputation of being singularly good
figure, suggests quilt heavily wadded
more than anything else. Back, hips,
sleeves, and bust are all the result of
clever workmanship. Andit is so clever
that tailor-made gowns are defantly
worn by this girl, and the most critical
clubmen find no flaw in the outlines of
her figure. -PhiIadelphaa Times.

SCHOOL PICNIC.

The closing exercises of the Bllefountain
and Alpine schools, taught by L. H. Gragg
aul Miss Mary Newton, We're held at ;the
Bellfountain camp ground, Saturday, June
9th.
The four hours programme was delivered
from very beautifully decorated stage, and
the scholars handled their essays, declama-
tions. tableaux, and dialogues in a manner
which well repaid them and their teachers
for the energy and patience with which
they had pursued their preparations.
One scene which especially deserves
mention was the tableau, Crock of Ages, "
prepared by Miss Newton, in which pretty
little girl kneeled clinging to cross about
which was entwined beautiful wreath tf
bridal roses while behind the scenes
chorus of sweetest voices sang softly Crock
of Ages"
The Alsea band was present aid it's men,
bers merit compliments, not for their ex-
cellent music alone, but also for their gen.
teel and orderly department..
Miss Ethel Starr executed "Fort Thomas
March" on the organ very prettily.
Mr.. Homer Woodcock favored the audi
ence with two nice pieces upon his guitar.
The vocal music, for which this part of
the county is sometimes praised, was not
any below par on that day.
Near the close of the afternoon session,
Hon. E. FL. Belknap delivered one of his
masterly and thrilling addresses.
The day was success throughout, and
the crowd of people assembled awakened
happy memories of the good old campmeet-

Deafness Among White Animals.

Why is it, 1 wonder. that white ami
mails are so often deaf? The white
English terrier is almost always SO,
and the white English bull terrier is
very frequently afflicted with this de-

skilled inwhite cats that they, too, are
apt to have the same infirmity, and I
have heard, though can not cite my
authority on the spot, that white goat
is even more deaf to reason and dis
course than other animals of the same
species but of positive color. So far
as l know white horses have the usual
sense of hearing, though investigation
might prove that they were deficient
in this respect. Boston Post.

4 PRETTY LIVELY STORM.

The storm which alloyed its great and manifest
blessings with grave mischief at few points on
Monday betrayed the peculiarties of both sum-
mer and winter types OF disturbance. The de-
tached local storms, squalls thunder showers and
perhaps tornadoes, experienced here and there
between Virginia and Central New-Yorl1 and New
England were what one looks for in June, when
a. smart cool wave follows rather slOw-moving
barometrc depression. But the wide eXt,nt Of
the storm, from the Gulf to the Lakes, the very
low barometer at the centre, with steep gradients
and high winds, the rapidity with which the
whole system travelled from Northern Texas to
Southern New-England, and finally the route
ITSELF so much further sonth than Tic ordinary
path along the Lakes and st. Lawrence, were
what one seldom sees except in midwlnter.
The most disastrous incident OF this storm was
the ruin wrought in and near Washington There
is probably no ground for the suggestion that a
"cyclone" had come in from the sea. 1t Is not
even clear that there was true tornado, with
funnel-shaped cloud to establish its identity.
But the straght-line gales attained something like
hurricane force apparently, and came in those
short sudden gusts which arc so much more harm
full than steady blow. Right here in New-York
a velocity of forty-seven miles hour re-
corded at one time this was probably much en-
ceeded. for few minutes, in Washington, Balt-
more and some other cities But the rain attend
ing this storm was thing to be profoundly
grateful for In and near the metropolis heavier
and longer downpour would have been welcome.
But we have now nearly an inch and half Of
water in the last fortnight; whereas in the two
weeks next preceding November 10 only .03 inch
fell in this city. Yesterdays reinforcement to the
local supply justfcs the favorable forecast of The
Tribune last Wednesday, and warrants the fur

FONSECA'S DOWNFALL.

The news Of q revolution in the Brazilian cap
ital against President da Fonseca is generally
credited in London and is probably true The
movement against him apparently became so
formidable that he abandoned the struggle and
surrendered his post to Vice-President Peixotto.
If the news be fully confirmed t will be evil
dent that the army has deserted him under
pressure from the populace, which had grown
weary Of q military dictatorship out of accord
with the constitutional movement of the last
year. II is still uncertain whether the Vice
Presidents authority will be recognized by tbs
new body of revolutionists in the capital, and
by the governments of the coast States. APP
parently he is the constitutional head of the
Government after the President has relinquished
his office If he agrees to cOnvOks Congress at
an early date, the present crisis may pass as
suddenly as it arose. The country will then
settle down very much as the Argentine did
after President Celmans resignation and the
assumption of office by his constitutional sue
cessor. 1t will have like the Argentine grave
financial disorders to counteract but the situa-
ton of Brazil in this respect is not desperate by
any means.
The revolt against the Empire two years ago
was unforeseen, and the Republican leaders wero
largely unprepared for the emergency. Their
work was done with thoroughness and efficiency,
and an admirably devised Constitution was en-
acted in the course of the first year. While
the credit of the country has suffered from
financial administration of speculative order
a large increase in immigration and an enormous
development of business have shown that re-
publican institutions are promoting the industrial
progress of Brazil. Unfortunate as the recent
break between General da Fonseca and Con-
gress has been, there is no reason for despairing

BROOKLYN PIPE-LAYING.
him..

The water famine in Brooklyn is directly to
be attributed to the scandalous mismanagement
Of public works by contractors employed under
ring and gang rule. The water supply OF the
city was dependent upon the old conduit con-
Meeting the storage reservoir at Rockville Centre
with the Ridgewood pumping station When it
became necessary to construct new and larger
conduit adequate precautions were required for
protecting the old one, which had been built in
1856 and was known to be weak in some sec
lions. Such an accident as occurred on Satur-
day would not have been possible il the con-
tractors had been compelled to do their work
properly. They were allowed TO work as they
plaazcd. because contractors in Brooklyn always
have a political "pulr' upon the jobbing Democ-
racy which rules the town. The result is that
the city is practically without water. Not only
were the elevated railways, the Bridge cable
road and ali the factories deprived of water, but
the famine caused discomfort in every household.
The explanations of the collapse of the old
conduit are contradictory, but any and every
theory indicates cupable negligence and reck-
less mismanagement. The trench for the new
pipes was constructed on parallel line with
the old conduit and close to Ii. 1t was deep

The high handed proceedings which have been
going on at Poughkeepse for several days III
pursuance Of the scheme to count in Demo-
cratic Senator in the XVIII District were con-
summated yesterday. In some way that can
only be guessed at-for the plotters did not allow
their papers to be inspected-a tally sheet was
made up giving Osborne a sufficient number OF
votes in Duchess County to make plurality OF
IA for him in the entire district. The Repub-
lican County Clerk refused to aflix his signature
to any such false or fraudulent statement. There
upon the Democratic Supervisors took things IN
their own hands, and appointed one OF their
number temporary County Clerk; and he, as
soon as he had signed the papers, hurried on
to Albany to file them before an injunction could
intervene. The Republicans WILL of course, ap.
PEAL to the courts to prevent the completion OF
this bold theft of a Senate seat Right and JUS
tee are on their side, and will triumph in the
end
