john Hoey'a Career.
Notwithstanding Mr. Dinsmores denial,
It was said yesterday that an effort would
be made to compel Messrs. Hoey and
Spooner to disgorge their profits on the
Sherburne deal
John Hoey and the express business
may be said TO have grown up in this
country together He was born in Ireland
in 1875 aud came to this country poor
boy, and for a while he earned his living
selling newspapers and running errands
1t was back in 1889 that the Harden Ex-
press company started operations Il pros.
pered SO well that two years later Alvin
Adams, a shrewd Bostonian, made up his
mind that there was business enough for
another company.
So he started a new company and finally
lie had a line running from Boston to New
London. In lSi2 the route was pushed to
Norwich, and thence boats carried pack
ages to this town. The carrying outfit
consisted Of one horse and one wagon, and
William b. Dinsmore and one clerk, f. s.
Sanford, were In charge Of the New York
Office
Il was at this period that young Hoey
got his footing. 1t was his habit to row
out in n skiff to meet the express com

noticed him and offered him work with
the company Hoey's wages at FIRST were
sl50 a week.
The yonng company fourished II ex.
tended to Philadelphia and later to Wash
ington. Clerk Sanford had suggested these
outreachings and with other schemes he
devised the business jumped Hoey made
suggestions, too Hoey concluded to
branch out for himself and started the
Hoey Charleston express. His company
succumbed to the power OF the Adams
express. Hoey received large slice OF the
Adams stock. Il was due TO this venture
also and the subsequent consolidation that
he was made general manager Of the com
pany, in which capacity he served for
thirty-four years. Mr. Hoey was the third
president Of the company, succeeding to
that position upon the death Of Mr.. Dins-
more, April 20, 1888.
The New omcerH.
Mr. Sanford, the new president, is a mil
lionaire residing in Bridgeport, Conn
He is sixty, and has been connected with
the company for thirty-fve years He was
several years the general superintendent,
until that Office was abolished few years
ago. Since that time be has been one Of
its managers
Frederick Lovejoy, the new vice presi-
dent is fifty. He Is a New Yorker. He Is
director in the Subway company and has
q steam yacht, the Neaira. Governor Hill
and other well known politicians have en-
joyed his hospitality aboard Of this yacht
Mr. Lovejoy was in the service OF the com
pany for twenty-seven years prior TO 1888.
He was sent to Philadelphia in 1876 to rep
resent the Adams Express company dur
ing the Centennial exposition.

OUR public schools are the mainstay of
our republic. In them are being cultivated
the minds which are to be our future law
makers and leaders in every walk in life.
How essential it is that these minds should
be united to strong, healthy bodies. So
many children suffer from impurities and
poisons in the blood that it is a wonder that
they ever grow up to be men and women.
Many parents cannot find words strong
enough to express their gratitude to Hoods
Sarsaparilla for its good effect upon their
children. Scrofula, salt rheum and other
diseases of the blood are effectually and
permanently cured by this excellent medi-
cine, and the whole being is given strength
to resist attacks of disease.

To Loosen Glass Shoppers.

Hold the bottle or decanter firmly in
the hand or between the knees, and
gently tap the stopper on alternate
sides, using for the purpose a small
piece of wood, and directing the stroke
upward. Plunge the neck of the vessel
into hot water, taking care that the
water is not hot enough to split the glass.
If after some immersion the stopper is
still fixed, recur to the above process.
Pass piece of list round the neck of
the vessel, which must be held fast
while the list is drawn rapidly backward
and forward. Take a steel needle and
run it round the top of the stopper in
the angle formed by it and the bottle.
Hold the vessel in the left hand aud
give it steady twist with the right,
aud it will very often be effeotual, as
the adhesion is frequently caused by the
solidi6cation of matter only at the point
nearest the air. If this does not sue
coed, put a few drops of oil round the
stopper where it enters the glass YES
sci, and then warm it before the fire.
When thoroughly warmed, tap the stop
per of the bottle on alternate sides, as
directed above. Repeat this operation
if necessary.

Hair.Dressing.

Frenchwomen devote good deal of
time to the question of hair-dressing,
and wisely so; for in good truth how
ever well dressed woman may be, she
looks nothing unless she is bien coffee;
and however elaborate the arrange
ment, neatness has principally to be
considered. The classic style adapted
to the shapes of individual heads is the
leading idea, and soft curls and marteux
fill up the intervening space between
the forehead and the crown of the head.
An easy couture is closely curled front,
all of the rest of the hair combed to
the crown of the head, and there twisted
into coil surmounted by two horizon
tai marteux of hair arranged in semi
circular fashion to adapt themselves to
the coil, and to show above the head
in front. So much depends on the
length of the head but an easy way is
to wave the hair behind the curls, and
bring that to the back. You never in
Paris see Frenchwomen with a knob
of hair pinned carelessly where it ac-
centuates the natural excrescence of
the head; nor do they, when they have
passed the hey-dey of youth, drag sparse
hairs from the temple. l do not advo-
cate French hair-dressing for English
heads, but the jewellers in Great Britain
would do well to study French modes
and adapt them to their own idiosyn-
crasies.- CdSSelps Magazine.

Curative Use OF Charcoal.

The Boston Journal of Commerce
discourses thus on the use of charcoal:
Besides being valuable as fuel, it has
other uses which make it one of the
most serviceable of articles. When
laid fiat, while cold, on a burn, it
causes the pain to abate; by leaving it
on for an hour, the burn seems almost
healed when the wound is superficial.
Tainted meat surrounded with it 10
sweetened. Strewn over heaps of de-
composed pelts or over dead animals,
charcoal prevents unpleasant odors.
Foul water is purified by it. 1t is a
great disinfectant, and sweetens often
sive air if placed in shallow trays
around apartments. 1t is 80 very
porous that it absorbs and condenses
gases rapidly. One cubic inch of fresh
charcoal will absorb nearly one hun
dred inches of gaseous ammonia.
Charcoal forms an excellent poultice
for malignant wounds and sores. In
cases of what is called proud flesh it is
invaluable. 1t gives no disagreeable
odOr, corrodes no metal, hurts no text
ures, Injuries no color, is a simple and
safe sweetener and disenfectant. A
teaspoonful of charcoal in half glass
of water often relieves sick headache.
1t absorbs the gases and relieves the
distended stomach, pressing against
the nerves which extend from the
stomach to the head"

Peculiarities OF the Teeth.

A tooth in its normal condition con-
slsts of four parts or substances, enamel.
cement, dentine and pulp. Enamel is
the outer covering of the crown or ex-
posed portion of the tooth, and by
wise provision of nature it is thickest
where most subject to use and wear.
1t is the hardest tissue of the human
system, possesses of itself no SENSIBLE
ity, and contains not over four per cent
OF animal matter. Yet it is an i'm
portant fact, and one which should not
be lost sight of in caring for the teeth,
that this indispensable coating is almost
entirely soluable in acids. Cement il
the bone-like covering of the roots and
neck of the tooth, corresponding for the
covered portion to the enamel, with
which it blends and unites about the
edge of the gums, for the exposed part.
Dentine forms the body of the tooth.
1t is not so hard as bone, consisting of
parallel tubes about 4, 500 to an inch i.
diameter, and more than a quarter of
its composition consists of animal mat
ter. 1t is somewhat sensitive, but the
sensation is probably due to the nerves
of the pulp. The latter, commonly
called "the nerve," is a mass of nerves
and blood-vessels, almost infinitesimal
IN size, connected and enwrapped by
very delicate tissue. These nerves and
blood vessels connect with the general
system through minute opening at the
extremity of the root, with which ex-
ception the pulp is entirely surrounded
by wall of dentine. In fact, the pulp
is the germ of the body of the tooth,
the dentine is formed from it and nour-
ished by it; when the pulp, which is
EXTREMITY sensitive, as most readers
know, dies, the dentine loses its ap-
parent sensitiveness and gradually
changes color, itself becomes dead.

Grating Wax.

A good liquid grating wax, adapted
for painting the wounds made in prun-
ing trees, and to other purposes, may
be made by melting one pound of resin
over a gentle fire, and stirring in one
ounce of beef tallow. When the mix
ture, after being removed from the fire,
has cooled off somewhat, eight ounces
of alcohol are to be added to it. If too
cool for mixing, place over the fire
again, carefully guarding the alcohol
against taking fire. When cool, put il
in bottles or cans, and keep well closed.
This used to be known as Lefort's
Liquid Grating Wax"

PLANTING crab apples for profit is a
hard business. A few can be sold, but

general experience; but as to hardy
seedlings, there is but slight chance
to get them, unless the seeds of Russian
apples are planted. We do not believe
that more than one seed in thousand
from our common New England apples
will produce an iron-clad tree ,-one
that would stand the climate of Orleans
county, Vermont, or Aroostook county,
Maine. We should plant the seeds of

WEALTHY is an apple which many
say they are unable to keep longer than
the Fameuse; and they also complain
that they all drop off before it is time
to gather them. Yet there are plenty
of sound, firm and full Favored Wealthy
apples to be found in our neighborhood
at this date March 3D. The trouble
with keeping the Wealthy is much like
the trouble in growing currants-you
must attend to them at the right time,
or lose them. The Wealthy is usually
ready to gather by the middle of Sep
TENDER, in some seasons even sooner.
If not gathered then, they will begin to
drop-as all fruit does when it is ripe.
If gathered then, and left around in
heaps or barrels above ground, it will
ripen up in few weeks, and be only a
late fall apple. But if gathered
in promptly, as soon as the seeds are
colored, in cool weather, or early in the
day, and placed at once in cool, deep
cellar, the windows of which are opened
at night and closed by day, until the
weather is steadily cold, the Wealthy
will keep sound and firm until April.
1t is not variety for slip-shod people
to grow, but careful man will find it
profitable. 1t is already becoming
known in Massachusetts, and northern
grown Wealthys will, we think, become
a very popular fruit there, 1t is as
large, handsome and productive as
Baldwins, and much better in quality
for any use.
