When "Old Sackett," the veteran
newsdealer, announced his intention
of giving q sleigh ride and oyster sup
per to every newsboy in town, 1t is
doubtful whether he realized the enor-
nifty of his undertaking. Neverthe-
less, last night was the time set and
Campau square the place of meeting. AS
early as $50 youngsters began togather,
and by the street WAS filled with
yelling, hooting, screacning gamins.
They ran hithcr and tnltner, stored
to the brim with excited anticipation.
Sackett fathercd each and every one
of them and herded them into the
sleighs ike . rauchman would his
cattle. On the front seat Of the largest
vehicle, which lead the way, old man
Sackett perched, proud as q king on his
throne. Four beautiful horses drew
the sleigh, and the trip began.
Some Of the boys hurrahed, some sung,
some whistled and all rent the chilly
atmosphere with blood curdlinS cat
calls and hearty laughter. The
entire ride to Grandville and
back was made without accident,
and when the Board of Trade restau-
rant was reached the sleighs halted,
the boys made . grand rally on the
door. Seventy were allowed 10 enter
and while they were being served =
hundred others clanored Tor admit
lance. Sackett walked about inside
and saw that every one was provided
for. The spacious room was emptied
and filled three times before all
were supplied. One hundred and
sixty in all were fed. When the last
had been served Sackett, and eeveral
attaches Of the daily newspapers,
dipped in and satisfied their appetites.
Not one boy was left out IN the cold,
and mono went home feeling that they
had not thoroughly enjoyed them

take him long TO make q selection. He
picked out . young married woman
who occupied one of the front seats OF
the car with . little girl. and seated
himself across the aisle o short distance
behind her. The soon-to- be-mashcd's
little girl was alternately playing in
the aisle and sitting by her mother.
During ono OF the child's frolics In the
aisle the gentleman from Datsvia
caught her eye aud beckoned to her.
The mother saw her child start to run
away. looked in the direction in which
shc was going, saw the masher, and
smiled. This was all tho encourage.

Two German scientists who have been
making extended experiments for the
purpose OF ascsrtaining the extent &c
which aluminium can be used In tho
manufacture Of vessels to contain eat
sbles have reached some conclusions
that rather upset the predictions Of
universal adaptability OF this metal.
says the Chicago Journal.
These scientists assert that aluminium
should never bc used for articles which
are required to come in contact with
boiling water, nor should cans Of this
metal be used for the packing Of fruits.
preserves, etc. Experiments showed
that large number OF organic acids
which are present in brine, fruit. juices,
etc., have a dissolvcnt effect upon
aluminium.
According TO these authorities the
light TASKS OF aluminium which have
been made fer army use arc not adapted
for this purpose, as citric and tartaric
acid, even in Is small proportions as
one per cent, exercise an injurious eff
feet upon the metal Bed bordeaux
and Moselle wine, and even tee and cof-
fee. have also tendency to dissolve
and absorb aluminium, probably on ac-
count Of the tannin contained in them.

FROM the report Of the West Michi-
gan Fair association 1t appears that
after paying oil obligations incurred
during the past year in laying out and
eouipping its new fair grounds, which
are due and payable. 1t still has res
pectable balance in its treasury. The
showing IL a remarkable one because il
is unusual for an agricultural society
to meet its debts following extraordin-
airy expenditures such as were made
by the West Michigan society during
the past year. The figures are very
complimentary to the astute and
sagacious business men who we're at the

wIpE-rIRE VEHICLES.

Paved streets suter more from the
sharp, narrow tires OF vehicles than
from any other cause. Cedar blocks.
bricks, medina stone and asphalt are
all more or less cut into and made I'M
even and ragged by them. The city of
Kingston. n. Y, having passed . .'wide-
tire ordinance" 10 prevent its paved
and maesdsmized streets from being
cut to pieces by heavily loaded wagons
carrying their loads upon narrow tires.
has come OF victorious IN legal con,
test in which the validity Of the ordi-
nance was attacked. 1t 10 an undoubt-
ed fact that the width Of the tires upon
wagons can be so proportioned to the
loads earned as TO do no harm TO pave
ments, and in fact so that every such
wagon passing over the pavements will
improve it rather than injure 1t in most
cases. 1t is to the best interests
OF all that such ordinances should be
passed and enforced everywhere. The
importance OF good roads is becoming
quite generally recognized, and 1t IL
not fair that the peoples money should
be taken to build them, only to have
them cut to pieces by wagons carrying
loads on such narrow tires as to make
the pressure per unit of area more than
any road can stand. Mechanics have
long ago grappled with this problem in
various ways. SO far as it applies to ma
chinery, and have found that, when .
given weight is to be sustained, enough
bearing surface must be provided, so
that the pressure will not become too
great for the material to be employed.
II it is locomotive. enough pairs Of
drivers are put under it to attain the
desired total weight upon drivers, with
out exceeding the desired weight upon
any single pair. Wagon makers should
adopt the same plan. and If they are
not willing to do this, then the law
should compel them to do it.
