The Pittsburgh & Western R. R. is fast de-
veloping as one of the most important lines
passing through Ravenna, During the last six
months it has received from the Ravenna Brick
and Tile Works alone, for shipment, mostly to
Akron and Barberton, 10Y cars of brick. H.
F. Caris. during the same period, has shipped
over the road 25 of brick. 35 cars of sand
have been shipped over this line to Youngstown
the past Summer. and Mishler Brothers have
shipped since June 90 cars, containing between
1000 and 900 each, of tile and cemetery posts
In addition to this, large amount of miseeIa-
neous freight is handled in shipment to and
from this point. Although the road has loc
engines operating between Chicago Junction
and Allegheny,it is unable to meet the demands
of its rapidly increasing business.

GRocERs AND CoNFECT1oNERs,

Seldom has it been the pleasure of Ravenna
audience to listen to more perfectly rendered
program of musical and elocutonary entertain
ment than that given by the Forest City Con-
cert Company at Reeds Opera House, Thurs
day evening. From the first to the last number,
prolonged encores attested the appreciation of
the audience. The Amphion Quartet is COM
posed of voices of great compass and finished
culture, and its every note was faultless in time
and expression, to which it was more than pleas
ure to listen. The Quartet sang the most trying
and difficult compositions with that perfect ease
which is only acquired by the genius and cul-
ture of the gifted artist. Mr.. Henry Williams
tenor, whether blended in quartette or compan-
ionless in solo, is of marvellous compass and
purity, full and perfect in every tone. The
basso solo of Mr.. Chas. Hawley revealed a
voice and culture adequate for the most critical
requisites in rendition, and he received merited
and enthusiastic applause, in appreciative COM
plirnent of his magnificent voice and accom-
plishments as soloist. D. Francis, and tenor
and 1. T. Daniels, and basso, completed a
quartet of surprising excellence in every essen
tial of voice and cultured execution The three
harp solos of Sig. CafarClli were enjoyable ad-
juncts to the musical feast of the evening.
Perhaps no part of the program was more
enjoyed than the recitations of Miss Esther R
Stratton. She is in every sense an accomplished
elocutionist. Her talent was developed in va
ried phases of character and emotional portrait
ure. and to speak of her superb rendering o
any one selection, would be simply merited
encomium of each of the pathetic and mirthfu
recitations which won the applause of the au
dience.

In these latter days we are right
fully weary of the influx of ladies
among us-the lady in the kitchen,
the wash lady, the cleaning lady, the
saleslady, ad infnitum. But we must
never put aside nor allow any other
to supplant the grand title of the
lady of the house. That Anglo Saxon
word which holds in it 1.-The vision of
the ideal of the true lady, the noble
woman ruling well her household,
the woman of wisdom to learn and
teach the laws which order bread
keeping, the mistress of domestic
economy-the science of establishing
in every house the house law of thrift
and comfort.
Words are indeed monumental
thoughts" "and there are few in our
tongue which stand out more clear
cut and strong, showing us what true
and noble reality as well as ideality
lies within compass of her who is the
lady of the house. .-Harper's Bazaar.

There are no rlnfailing rules which
can be given to the incipient teacher,
and no patent methods will avail.
All depends upon the circumstances
at the very time when she has to act,
and those her instructors cannot by
any possibility know. The only rule
without exception that occurs to me
is that she should never punish when
she is angry; but this would be a
very slender stock to go into bust
ness with, and the imparting of it
would hardly justify legislature in
building normal schools.-Anna G.

The horse power of a whale has
been made a subject of study by the
eminent anatomist, Sir William Tur-
ner, of the University of Edinburgh,
Scotland, in conjunction with the
equally eminent Glasgow shipbuilder,
John Henderson. The size and di-
mensions of a great fnner stranded
several years ago on the shore at
Longriddy furnished the necessary
data for computation of the power
necessary to propel it at speed of
twelve miles an hour This whale
measured eighty feet in length,
twenty feet across at the fanges of
the tail, and weighed seventy four
tons. To attain a speed of twelve
miles per hour it was calculated that
145 horse power was necessary.-San

A ROYAL PORK su1cs en.
A King Whose Sole Ambition Was to
Make Delectable Sausages.

King Whose Sole Ambition Was to
Make Deiectabie sausages.
Charles vi, king of Spain and the
Indies, had a brother named Don
Antonio. who excelled as an amateur
sausage maker, and after awhile
nothing would please the king but
that he, too, should be initiated into
the secrets of the wonderful art. He
hoped ultimately, he said, to produce
sausages which should rival, nay,
even excel, his brothers Accord
ingly a pavilion was built in a Sc
cluded part of Aranjuez, WHITTIER
literally supplied with choppers,
pigs and the necessary spices, the
monarch retired from public view
and, dressed in a butchers white
blouse and apron, went through a
severe course of training.
At last he was ready for test, and
a piece of sausage solemly tasted by
Don Antonio, was declared worthy
of his own making. The dish became
fashionable at court, but Charles, in
sisting that he had not yet acquired
his brothers delicacy and finish, con
tinued his labors toward the perfec-
ton of his culinary skill. One day
the king, at table, began to find fault
with his sausages.
Naturally the courtiers all de-
INJURED at this and declared that he
was mistaken, but a young duke who
had just come up from the country,
and did not know how matters stood,
thought he saw an open road to ia
vor, and remarked, II venture to
agree with your majesty" What
would you do with the cooke" asked
Charles. 'Expel him." was the re-
ply. On this Charles rose from his
seat, left the hall and quickly re-
turned, dressed in his professional
costume.
Approaching the bewildered young
man, he said, Sir duke, will you
beg my pardon of the king1" Mercy,
sire |" cried the duke, throwing him
self on his knees. Charles good
humoredly passed over the offense,
and made the culprit one of his per
sonal attendants.
This whim degenerated into sheer
monomania; matters of the gray
est Importance were neglected; the
king could not be got away from his
self inflicted labors; sausage max
ing became the sole interest of his
existence. In the end, however, he
was undeceived by a fortunate oc-
currence. An English lady of rank,
who was very curious to see the royal
pork butcher at work, was secretly
introduced by the British ambassador
into the grounds surrounding the pa
vilion. By some mischance Charles
discovered her, and thinking it the
best thing to do went up to her and
embraced her, forgetting that his
hands and clothes were all smeared
and dirty.
OF course the lady's dress was
spoiled, but Charles had recognized
how utterly absurd he must seem to
other people, and his eyes being thus
opened he at once desisted from his |
degrading occupation. Nevertheless,
during his absence from business,
feeble prince as he was, incalculable
damage had been done to the empire |
damage from which it never re-
covered under his after rule. -Massa-
