Not every insertion of every advertis-

There is vast deal in familiarity with
the type and phrase in which a manu-

advertisement reader, inst as the ac-

BLOOD flowed freely at the Homestead
iron works, in Pennsylvania, last We'd
nesday, when ON attempt was made to
land 800 Pinkerton men to held posses
ion Of the Carnegie works against the
strikers. They were met by fully 3,ooo
Infatuated strikers, and the battle began
without delay, and ragged from o'clock
in the morning until o'clock in the
evening. Nine Pinkerton men and
eleven of the strikers were killed out
right, and many more wounded. 10
save themselves from a horrible death
by fire the Pinkerton men surrendered
and left the strikers the masters OF the
Held. What the outcome will be II
hard TO predict ut the present writing
but there seems to be but one OF tw'
methods TO be adopted by the iron com
pany-to either close down or recogniz
che Amalgamated association.

Contrary to all expectations the free
silver coinage bill passed the senate,
last Friday, by vote OF 20 to %, and
che indications are now that the only
thing that will prevent this measure
becoming law is the presidential veto.
President Harrison ought not, and
perhaps will not, veto the measure.
II passed after full investigation and
discussion by the peoples representa-
tives, it should go into effect and If II
proves n bad law the PEOPLE will know
where to place the responsibility. The
bill reads as follows:
The owner OF silver bullion may
deposit the same Mt any mint OF the
United States to he coined for his benc
fit and it shall be the duty OF the proper
officers. upon the terms and coalitions
which are provided by law for the de
posit and coinage OF gold, to coin such
bullion into the standard dollars
authorized by the act Of February ~
1873, entitled IAN act to authorize th'
coinage OF the standard silver dolla'
and 10 restore its legal tende
character" and such coins shall be
legal tender for nll debts and dues
public and private. -,
The act Of July IA, 1890, entitled : Al
act direct the purchase Of silver bullion
and the issue Of treasury notes thereof
and for other purposes" is hereb
repealed; provided, that the secretar
Of the treasury shall proceed to hay
coined all the silver bullion in tn
treasury purchased with silver or col
Certificates.

EX-SENATOR FARwELL, OF Illinois, ehns
camped on President Harrison's trail
and refuses all overtures OF peace. 1t
was the senator who urged the appoint
ment OF William James Campbell as
collector Of customs at Chicago, and
the president refused, saying shat he
was professional lobbyist and unfit
for this position, and that he would not
appoint him." Now Mr.. Farwell nd
dresses an open and very sarcastic letter
to the Washington Post, asking if this
be the same Campbell who is now at
the head OF the Republican national
committee by special request of Mr..
Harrison. The ex-senator we'll knows
that It is, and that the "professional
lobbyist" who was "unfit" to be port
collector is just the man whom the
president wants to manage his cam
paign. Harrison is not depending ex
clusively on the Lord and Mr.. Dudley
this season. Farwe'l's outbreak IL
another among the many hopeful signs
for the Democracy. Free Press.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
GRASS UNDER TREES.

II is often veryl difficult to get grass
to grow under thetshades of trees, and
yet in places where, something green to
cover the ground is very desirable, a
number of plants have been manned as
being adapted for furnishing these green
surfaces. The common Perrwinkle is
one of the best known; anotheriexcellent
thing is some of the species Of Hyperi-
cum; two European species, fiji. calyci-
mum aud II. androsmefolium, lthrivespar-
ticularly in these comparatively dry and
shady places. Another very Zine thing
is the japanese honeysuckle. ltikeeps
very low, and perhaps is betterj substi-
tute for grass than many of THE Others
named. There are two formsswhich can
be employed for this purpose;' one, fire.
quently known in catalogues aslHalliana.
and the otheriform as the L. brachy-
botria; this islmore generallyIknown as
the japanese evergreen houeysuckle,
although the varieties are all more or
less evergreen. This particular one is
more fond of trailing than the others. -

An Odd Faculty.

There is no Individuality in diamond.
Take it from the setting with which you
have grown familiar, place it among a
number of other stones of the same size,
and the chances are a hundred to one
that YOU will not be able to pick it out
again. Despite this fact, there are some
men, long accustomed to the handling oil
precious stones, who can remember and
recall one of them as though it were q
human face.
A curious instance, illustrating this
odd faculty transpired in the office OF a
Maiden lane ieweler last Thursday.
Years ago a now famous American
comedian went to Australia and played
lengthy and successful engagement in
that country. Just before he sailed
homeward Dan Mcguire, manager well
known in Melbourne in those days, pre-
sented him with handsome diamond
shirtstud as souvenir of the numerous
pleasant hours that they had passed to-
gether during his visit. The comedian
wore the jewel for time after his ar
rival here and finally gave it to boy,
one of his distant relatives, for Christ
mas gift after it had been reset as a
ring.
Las Thursday the boy, now grown to
be strappiug young man, took the ring
to the Maiden lane jeweler to have it re-
paired, and handel it over to a desic-
Gated aud gray haired little Englishman
who stood behind the showcase.
He locked long and steadily at the
stone, and reminiscent smile curved his
colorless lips.
"Young man," he said, "when you
were rather smaller by very long odds
than you are now, sold that diamond
to Dan Mcguire in Melbourne, Australia,
and he gave it to some Yankee actor. "
The owner Of the gem, knowing its
history, was astounded. When asked to
explain how he remembered it, the
Englishman could not, and laid his abil-
ity to do so to some mysterious instinct
give been a jeweler all my life" he
remarked, "and have owned my own
store three times. think that, without
Boosting, l eau recognize every diamond
of every size that | have ever handled
dWing that period, though how l man
age to do it is az much a mystery to me
as it is TO anybody else. have met with
other jewellers who have the same fac
ulty, but, like me, they can't explain it. "

Tho ra.ha and His watch.

On the occasion of the Empress
Eugenies visit to Cairo in 1869, NubaI
Pasha was presented by Napoleon
III. with a valuable watch richly set
with diamonds This watch he was
in the habit Of laying before him on
the table during the meetings Of the
council which were generally held in
the evening, At one Of the sittings
the electric light suddenly went out.
When it was turned on again Nubar's
watch had disappeared. The Pasha
scrutinized the faces Of his colleagues
one after the other, but not one
WINGED under his gaze. Atlength he
said: Gentlemen, the watch that,
according to my custom, l had lying
here before me, has been removed.
The door is locked on the inside,
nobody has entered the room i'm the
meantime and nobody has gone out.
| attribute the loss Of the watch to a
bad joke or a 1T Of abstraction on
the part of one of you gentlemen. !
will now turn out the light once
more, feeling convinced that when it
is turned on again the watch will be
found in the usual place" The light
WAS then put out. When it shone
brightly a minute later not only
was the place where the watch had
lain still vacant but Nubar's be-
jeweled inkstand, a present from
Victor Emmanuel, had also vanished.
Nubar Pasha never saw these articles
again. Zeitung.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Eggs will be set from now on. espec-
tally those from Brahmas and Cochins.
The early Matched chickens are in de-
mand for the tall shows.
While any kind Of grease is sure death
to lice, the odor of cedar oil, turpentine
or kerosene will cause them to vacatc the
premises if used literally.
It requires, on an average, ten pounds
OF grain to feed incubator chickens ten
weeks. At first they will need less than
one pound week aud at the last more.
With all breeds of chickens, except
the BrahElas and Cochins, it is best to
use a -year-old cock. With these
two breeds they often get clumsy at that
age.
Where the ground is free from frost a
blowing OF the orchard now, or soon,
would be OF great advantage. 1t would
expose the larve Of many insects to birds
that winter with US (and these arc nu-
merouD and also to domestic poultry.
Some people have an idea that If much
snow were piled around fruit trees to put
back the early growth it would be an
effective job. This is not so. 1t has
been tried repeatedly and found want
ing. A little reelection will show it.

The counsorfeltIng Business.

Speaking of counterfeit money, a
detective said that there was very lit
tie of it in circulation these days. lie
said:
'Thc time was ten years ago when
man received counterfeit bill on
an average Of once week. 1t is rare
that man who handles great deal
of money runs across counterfeit bill
once month now. Most of the ex-
pert counterfeiters are in prison, and
those who are out are so closely
watched by the detectives that they
have little chance to work. No new
talent in the cOunterfeiting line is be-
ing developed and the chances of de-
lection are so numerous and certain
that the ambitious young crook turns
his abilities in other directions. Now
and then clever counterfeit APP
pears, but the secret service men run
IL down 50 quickly that it does not
pay smart people TO attempt TO run
currency factory Of their own.
There is some counterfeiting of small
silver pieces carried on, but the work
is so base that it rarely gets into gen.
eral circulation, only the ignorant
people being deceived by it. Coun.
terfeiting will be one Of the lost arts
before many years"
