An Electric Hat POIisl,er.

this process. The operation is as simple
as it is effective. The hat is slipped
over clutch, which holds it firmly, and
the clutch is attached to the end of the
shaft of small motor. The current is
switched on, and as the hat spins around
at the rate of 1000 revolutions minute,
brush moistened with benzine, or some
more mysterious fluid, is applied. After
this cleansing strips of silk or plush take
the brush, and the hat is polished off.
Ironing is rendered unnecessary, as
the heat developed by the friction
against the rapidly moving surface an
swers every purpose of heated iron.
Not only is much time saved over the old
method, but the results are said to be
superior. Silk, derby or straw hats are
renovated with equal success.--New

An affecting incident occurred in the
afternoon. A big Snowman who had his
show ut Schell City drove out with his
circus band and asked permission to
come into the grounds. 1t was accorded
him, and, after favoriug us with some
music, he took the speakers sand and
made a fine speech. He said he was an
ex Union spy, and among other incidents
of his perilous career as such told about
having been clptured by the enemy eight
miles below Richmond. He was hanged
by them, but, fortunately, Confederate
Major came up and ordered him to be
cut down. He still bears the scars OF :hc
wounds made by the rope, and exhibited
them TO the crowd. He stated that
the Confed,ate Major, wh' sc name was
Crittenden, was accompanied by private
VIII, cut the rope at the Majors orders,
and this private took charge of him and
hid him in a swamp, where he lived on
frogs till he got back into the Union lines.
He had no sooner made the statement
then Uncle Dick Robinson sprang upor
the stand and seized the speakers hands
1t transpired that Uncle Dick was the
man who cut the rope, and the way thos'

The Boston Brimmer School had this
year an exhibition Of what is Known rs
the Swedish "sloyd' work-"sloyd"
signifying both to plan and to execute.
The work was first taught in the North
Bennett Street Industrial School in 1888,
and consists in copying on paper and then
lin actual material any model put before
the pupil. In 1889 Gustaf LARSON
went to. the school aud modified the
series of models to fit American ideas,
the models previously used having been
Swedish entirely. In Sweden the plan
seems to have been for the pupil to con-
struct his object directly from the molel
without making working drawing, and
the improvements in the direction of de-
signs were added by Mr.. LARSON at a
later period. According to the report
of the Boston Superintendent of Schools,
there are now aboutsE3OO pupils in that
city receiving shop instruction, mostly
In wood working. There are six shops
for instruction in woodworking by
either the Swedish or Russian systems.
The boys are said to consider the "sloyd"
work as much part o! thc;s regular
course as any other study. The entire
course in the work CT the past year in
cluded the construction Of about toy
five models, ranging from the simple
whiting of wedge to the complex
making of cabinet having drawer
and door with carved panels. This
work is divided, for the grammar
schools, into three years course, tax.
yng about 200 hours.

to last fortnight, but the last evening
came without his having had one
chance OF being alone with her during
the whole time. AS he sat at dinner
Cot course he was at the opposite end Of
the table to where she was), he felt the
time was fast passing away, and iu few
hours he would no longer be in the same
house with her.. When the ladies went
to the drawing-room, he would have to
sit on in the dining.roon. His host
might allow him to look in at the draw
ing-room for few minutes that evening,
but after that his presence would be re-
auired in the billiard room. Tn utter
desperation he took up the menu card,
and on it wrote: "Will you marry

butler to give it to the lady in question.
He did so. She read it, and, with the
perfect sangfroid born only of the nine
