MerOism in Plain Dress.

At one momenG in the battle OF
Waterloo Wellington was left alone
his aids-de-camp having all been sen t
with messages to different parts of the
field. He was sorely in need OF mes
senger and looked around anxiously
when a gentleman in plain clothes
rode up to him, saying, Can l be of
any use sir?"
Wellington, looking him over said
Eyes. Take this note to the com
handing officer over there, pointing
to a part of the field where the battle
was hot and fierce. The gentleman
at once galloped off, rode through the
thick of the fight and delivered tt .
note.
After the battle the duke made long
and anxious inquiry, but he never
found out to whom he was indebted
for that special service.
Il consider it. said he in telling
the anecdote to Lord Shaftesbury,
lone of the most gallant deeds that
ever came under my notice, for the
gentleman who did it could have had
no prospect of reward or honor -

THE MECHANIC ARTS.

The most powerful electric ligh thouse
in Europe is the one at Hanstholm on the
Scow. 1t has strength of two million
candles
A new substitute for glass has been an
nounced in Vienna 1t is made out of col
lodion wool and has the same properties
as glass, ex ept that it is flexible.
The model of the new steamer building
at Glasgow will, it is claimed, insure the
quickest possible transit of the Atlantic
ocean attainable by steam craft With q
length of $50 feet, and 10 feet beam, very
fine lines are obtained, and the twin screws
are of some twenty three feet in diane
ter, well supported There are four fun
nels, and about 200 feet of tho length Of
the ship is devoted TO the boilers and
bunkers, The engines, triple compound,
with four cylinders working four cranks,
are figured at 33, 900 horse power. Ac.
commodations is provided for some 700
first and 300 second class passengers, and
about 400 emigrants.
The Fairfield shipbuilding and engineer
ing company of Govan England, recently
undertook series OF practical expert
ments with the object of strengthening
copper steam tubes by having wire coiled
around them. AS Delta metal is known
to lose comparatively little in strength
with increasing temperatures as shown
by Prof. Unwin's interesting experiments
and tests in this line, the above named
company tested Delta wire against copper,
both cold and at the temperature of melt
ing tin, namely, 449 degrees, The result
in these various trials confirmed in an un.
questionable manner the greater strength
so long claimed for the Delta metal it
proving in every instance superior to
copper.
in lecture delivered at the College de
France, NJ. Marcy exhibited to his audi.
ence specimens of the remarkable preci-
sion attained by some of his latest inven-
tons in the region OF scientific photog-
raphy. Hitherto it has been known to be
possible to produce a series of negatives
showing the movements Of bird on the
wing, but for more rapid motions the ex :
isting apparatus has proved too slow, pro
ducing only blurred impressions. As an
example, in order to photograph clearly
an insect flying it is essential that the ex.
posture should last only the .25O00th part
of a second and this NJ Marcy accom-
plished with new instrument of which
he is the inventor. NJ, Marcy concluded

Made by Mechnni al Means 1t IL FREQ
From Implritis1.
There seems to he some question in
the minds of those who are not well
informed on this subject a to the
purity of ice made by mechanical
means observes the National Pro-
visioner, but any person who has
carefully studied the subject will be
able to Immediately remove these
false and erroneous Impressions. Art.
ifcial ice is made practically as fol-
lows:
The water is converted into steam
in the boilers and from thence con-
veyed through pipes into steam
filter where US many of the impurities
as can be removed from the steam are
eliminated. The steam then goes into
the condenser and the water thus con-
densed flows through another filter
into Swimming tank where any i'm.
purities carried over by the mechanical
force Of the steam are skinned from
the surface. The water then is again
reboiled and skinned and then in
turn passes through two more filters
especially designed and arranged, after
a due analysis has been made of the
water so purified, in order that the
foreign substances dissolved in the
water may be thoroughly eliminated.
From these filters the water passes
into cooling tank and to make
assurance doubly sure before enter
ing the freezing cans passes through
another filter The cans are closed
so that there is no possibility of the
pure water being contaminated, and
AS it takes but about forty eight hours
to convert the water into ice, it mus
of necessity be a chemically pure

Almost all the workmea have Dough

adds TO this fare some bacon or a

friend, is based upon the house and

everything. Inc entlre wages are

he has trihe more and goes to an
establishment where beer is sold out

they permit themselves is smoking;

Wurtemburg's king almost got into
trouble lately He like the kaiser
is an indifferent whip, and while en-.
tering the Stuttgart Schloss the king
nearly drove over q young American
lady. She however with that sang
froid characteristic of the fair daugh-
ter OF the West, caught the horses
heads and pushing them back, told
the king in pretty strong Anglo Saxon
and German intermixed what she
thought OF him. His majesty who
was entirely at fault jumped down
and rendered his most protuse apollo
gies The young lady was unaware
that she had had the qualification OF
bullying a king until she received the
following day letter from one of his
maiestys chamoerlains begging her
acceptance OF the royal photograph as
a souvenir he said, of Ibis clumsiness
and her escape.

SHE CHANGED HEB MIND.
AMI Instead of Refusal She Bsenmes
His Wife.


A young couple in West End who
have been keeping company two years.
became engaged with the consent OF
all concerned, and looked forward
with the customary supreme bliss to
the consummation OF their betrothal.
The st. Louis Critic tells this.
Suddenly the betrothed maiden
changed her mind, and told her lover
she would not marry him. When he
recovered his breath he begged for an
explanation, but could get no other
than that she had decided to marry
somebody else
Sorrowfully he left her, and in the
solitude OF his chamber put on his
thinking cap. The result was that
the jilt received formal note from
him telling her that he would call on
a certain evening for u final answer.
He called and met with o frigid recep-
ton. His affian3ed told HIM that her
decision was irrevocable and handed
him d package containing all his gift
to her.
by Jove!" he cried you re the
best girl in the universe! 1 feel as
though ton weight had been lifted
from my breast"
He grabbed the package and his hat
and made for the door. The girl war
petritied with amazement
What is the meaning OF this?" she
stammered.
why, it means" he answered
that am free. l tried my best to
muster up courage to ask you to re-
lease, me but couldn't do it. I'll send
your letters and every thing but the
ring That l am afraid, Cora will
not give up"
And pray who may Cora be?' was
snapped out rather viciously.
"Oh, she's the girl I'm going now to
ask to marry me. She's beauty. I'll
send you her picture and I'll give her
the diamond earrings you have re-
turned to Inc" His hand was on the
knob when these words arrested him:
IF you attempt to go I'll scream.

gagement holds good. Don't 90 near

The White Cap Industry In
LOUISIANA.

The White Cap craze has never
secured an extensive fOothold III
Louisiana. In Bossicr parish
some years ago the populace
sought to correct by force evils
not denounced by law, which had
grown up i'll the course Of years.
The illegality Of the methods en-
ployed brought It's natural sequ-
ence-thc movement failed and
the evils were continued.
In Avoyclls parish i'll recent
times the white cap industry has
begun to flourish. As far as can
he learned, there are 10 evils
which can in any wise condone a
resort to Illegal methods. The
movement seems to be based Oil
pure wantonncSs, without excuse
or shadow of excuse.
The labor of the parish has
been dcmoralizcd, hundred of ne
grocs having migrated to sec
ton where their lives are more
secure. The material interests of
Avoyelles have suffered To the eX-
tent al thousands of dollars, and
the harm done is not yet ut an
end. Planters finds it difficult to
secure hands for the coming crop,
and unless the disturbances cease
and security of future peace and
quiet be given, many acres of one
of the most fertile sections of the
State will be given up to the cock
Ieburr and the jack-rabbit.
There is no place in Louisiana
for wEitecapism or other forms
of extra legal methods. even to re-
dress acknowledged wrongs. Oul
own people are in control OF the
government, and we acknowledge
our own lack Of capacity for self
government when we resort to
processes outside the law.

must see to it that wllitecapisn
