Sec, Grants Ruling That the worlds Fai

is Private Undertaking.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 2T-By a recent
ruling Acting Secretary Grant, by infer,
ence held that the Worlds Columbian
Exposition is private and not a national
affair
Assistant Secretary Grants decision
came about in this way; There has been
some complaint that the buildings erect
ed were not safe and the Chicago people
assert that this complaint came from
New York where there never has been a
friendly feeling for Chicago OF
the fair In order to dispose
efIectually Of all these stories
the commissioners asked the Secretary
of War to detail a corps of engineers to
inspect the buildings. Tho commission
ers thought that a report by such a corps
of engineers would have more weight
than if it were made by private engineers.
In replying to the3 request Secretary
Grant stated that Section 1924 of the Re,
vised Statutes forbade army officers from
performing work Of any kind for private
persons or corporations, and for this rea.
son he was compelled to decline a com
pliance with the request.

LONDON, Sep 2S.-Sir james Fergus
sons acceptance Of Office as Postmaster.
General having rendered vacant his seat
in Parliament an election contest of un-
usual Importance is now In progress in
Manchester The fact that Sir James
was elected in 1885 by majority of oveI
1000, which was reduced to less than
400 the following year, does not justify
the hope that the liberals will win the
seat now. There are few dissentient
Liberals to convert in northeast Man
chester, and the probability is therefore
that Sir James will be reelected

WASHINGTON, Sep. 2S.-lnternal Reve-
uue Commissioner Mason bas lately been
gathering considerable information re,
garding the best methods Of measuring
whiskey. Experiments which have been
made under his direction show that more
inaccuracies occur from gauging than
from weighing whiskey and it is prob
able that the latter method win be used
by the bureau. The result would be g

and a consequent saving Of great expen 81

the great, gripping, old-fashioned
pill. There's too much unpleasant
ness for the money. Ought to be
better, too. They're big enough,
and make trouble enough, to do
more good.
That's Just what Dr. Piorce's
Pleasant Pellets do, more good.
Instead of weakening the system,
they renovate it; instead Of up
setting, they cleanse and regulate
mildly gently, and naturally.
They're the original Little Liver Pills
the smallest but most effective,
purely vegetable, perfectly harmless,
and easiest to take. Only one
little Pellet for a gentle Laxative
three for q cathartic. Sick Head
ache, Bilious Headache, Constipa-
ton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
and all arrangements of the Liver,
Stomach and Bowels are promptly
relieved and permanently cured.
They're the cheapest pills you can
buy, for they're g1loranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned. You pay only for the good
you get. It's plan peculiar to DIR.
Picrce's medicines.

why Fishes and Frogs Come Down in
Showers.

Why Fishes and Frogs Come Down In
Showers.
A writer in Natures Realm says that
little fishes may be Matched in the clouds.
What he says about it is so interesting
that his whole letter is herewith given:
II observe reference made in the
American Angler touching upon showers
of fishes, in which it states that science
has not yet fully explained the phenom-
ena. This is perhaps slightly incorrect.
Several causes have been suggested.
Might it not very probably be that fish
and frogs which fall apparently from the
skies are really bred there?
water fowl, it is known, very fire.
quently carry eggs of fish to great dis
tances, having swallowed them, and in
their flight disgorging the same unframed
where they can and do fructify and ma
ture in water over which these birds pass.
The eggs of many old fish are very gluti-
nous, and readily adhere to substances
brought in contact with them during
particular times of their incubation. Is
it not very probable that not only do these
birds convey ova upon their wings as well
as in their crops, and when flying at
great heights the ova, becoming detached
from the wings, may remain suspended
in the moist atmosphere, which is quite
possible under certain conditions of at
mospherical pressure, and that when
under development they become too
heavy and naturally fall to the earth, as
frequently witnessed? 2"

THE GREAT GUNS.
what They Cost to Make and Keep i'm
Working Order.


The forging of the immense guns is a
most interesting process. The rified guns
of the present are made by reinforcing
the tube with rings and repeated layers
of steel called jackets, which are fitted
one over the other over the original tube
or barrel of the gun. The jackets OF
hoops must fitas closely to the gun as if
forming an integral part of its compo-
sition. The only way to get them on is,
of course, by heating, and thus enlarging
them. When they cool, they fit snugly.
1t is evident that the exact size of the
jacket and ring when heated SO that it
can be put in its place must be matter
of the incest mathematical calculation.
The coarse powder now used makes such
havoc with the rifling of the largest guns
that 100 charges are about all that can be
expected from them. The jackets and
rings can then be removed and fitted to
another tube.
The various parts of a gun are not put
together at Bethlehem, but are sent to
Washington, to a department. of the
arsenal called the assembling room,
where the tube is rifed, and the gun is
finally completed A steel gun of the
largest caliber costs about 100000 The
ordnance of our modern navy is there
fore one of the most costly items for
which Congress is expected to display a
patriotic generosity.-[ Harper's Weekly.

He ELI ON his Feet.

Trip an Irishman and he will fall on
his feet; corner him and he will jump
over your head; question him upon a
subject of which he is ignorant, and his
answer, though it is not reply, will en-
able him to retreat with his flag flying.
An Irishman, who wished for position
as letter carrier in one of our large cities,
went before the civil service board for
examination. He appeared, wearing a
careless air, as one about to go through a
mere formality.
what is the distance between Boston
and Constantinople, Mr.. Mahoney?"
asked the chairman.
"What's the distance between Boston
and that haithen city?" said Pat. "Well,
sur, if that's to be my route withdraw
my application.
One of Pats countrymen, having
served in the Charlestown navy yard in
subordinate position, asked to be pro-
noted, limiting that he would not object
to going to sea, if he could be assured of
good berth on man of war. He, too,
was invited to appear before the examin-
ing board.
"Mr. Mulhone, said the chairman, "if
you Were in the China Sea, and the ship
under full sail was going 10 knots an
hour, and a man should fall overheard,
what would you dor"
Promptly came the answer, without
shadow of perplexity appearing on Null
homes face
If was in the China Sea, under the
circumstances ye name, and a man
should fall overheard, think should
write to his friends that he was
drowned"

THE ocALA CONVENTION.

The national convention of the ALI
ance, held at Ocala, Fla, the first week
in December, 1890, marked the first great
crisis in the history of the new organiza-
ton. The growth of the order had been
too rapid for the proper assimilation of
the new material. All manner of social,
commercial and political opinions were
represented in its ranks. Hostile infiu-
ences were rapidly being brought to bear
to disrupt an organization which threat
ened to reyolutionize existing systems.
Masters of political intrigue were seek
ing to make the new force the tool Of
their ambition. 1t was verify critical
time for the Alliance when its 1853 dele
gates, representing thirty-five states and
territories, convened at Ocala on the I'd

DR.. Halsted, of the New Jersey Exper-
iment station, says that among the rem
edies not yet fully proved are linseed oil,
turpentine and kerosene, applied with a

The turpentine and kerosene must be
applied with great caution to prevent
them from extending or running over
the bark, which would kill the tree. The
same care is not required for the linseed
oil. 1t is proposed also to apply solu-
ton of sulphate of copper early in the
spring with hand pump over the whole
tree, and stronger solution of it to the

Eeonomy In Bee Keeping.

A rigid economy is demanded in bee
keeping, as in most other occupations.
Nothing must be allowed to go to waste;
indeed, we may go so far as to say tho
profits are limited by the savings. All
fragments must be utilized pieces of wax,
comb, lumber, refuse honey, ETC., must
be taken care of and used. Scraps OF
time are also important items, and should
be devoted to this work of utilizing and
saving. A little common sense and good
Judgment goes good way in managing
bees. The times of the present day de-
mand close economy. Margins are small
and profits deviating; so that judicieus
and careful expenditure is a prime
requisite to SUCCESS in this as in other
callings.
