UNDER the reciprocity treaty with Germany
that country admits products OF this on the
same terms as are granted Austria Hungary,
Italy, Belgium and other favored nations, and
this privilege the United States might have
enjoyed without any reciprocity under the

Germany. In return German beet sugar IS

United States by Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity

An Early Fire Engine.

The earliest mention of fire extinguish-
ing apparatus of any kind is found in the
building accounts of the city of Augs-
burg, Germany, for the year 1918. In these
they are denominated instruments for
fires" and water syringes useful at fires"
Anthony Blatner, goldsmith at Fried
burg, is credited with being the inventor
and manufacturer, he having at that time
become citizen of Augsburg.
These syringes must have been OF consid-
cradle size, as they are described as being
mounted on wheels and worked by levers.
Caspar Schott, noted Jesuit, gives an ac-
count of one built at Nuremberg, in 1857,
the largest squirting engine of which there
is any record. 1t was mounted on a sledge
ten feet long. four feet in width and drawn
by two horses. 1t had two working cylin-
ders placed horizontally in the cistern,
which was eight feet long, four feet high
and two feet wide. Twenty-eight men were
required to work it, and it was capable of
throwing jet Of water one inch in diam
eter to a height of eighty feet.-Detroit

What Your Great Grandmother Did.

She hetcheled the fax and carded the
wool, and wove the linen, and spun the tow,
and made the clothes for her husband and
ten children. She made butter and cheese,
she dipped tallow candles, to light the house
at night, and she cooked all the food for her
household by an open fire place and a brick
oven. Yes; and when she was forty years of
age, she was already an old lady whose best
DAYS were over. Her shoulders were bent and
her joints enlarged by hard work, and she
wore spectacles and a cap.
Her great granddaughter, with all the
modern conveniences for comfort, refinement
and luxury, may be as charming and attract
i've at forty-fve as at twenty. Especially is
this true if she preserves her health by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
which wards off all female ailments and ir-
regularities, cures them if they already exist,
keeps the life current healthful and vigorous,
and enables the woman Of middle age to re-
tain the freshness of girlhood upon brow and
cheek, the light of youth in her eyes, and
its elasticity in her step.
Go to your drug store, pay dollar, get q
bottle and try it-try q second, a third Il Nc
essary. Before the third ones been taken
you'll know that there's remedy to help you.
Then you'll keep ON and a curen come.
But if you shouldn't feel the help, should
be disappointed in the results = you'll find
a guarantee printed on the bottle-wrapper

Negroes of Arkansas Plantations.

The negro women of Arkansas are very
fond of their children and kind to them
unwisely kind perhaps, as we Americans
are inclined to be. To all the other hard
ships of woman's life here is added her
mourning for her little children, for the
careless life bears hard on them, especially
in overflow seasons.
Sometimes we are reminded of this in a
homely yet affecting way, as, when buying
some chickens and asking for more, was
told by the little merchant:
"They Amt no more, only but one old roost-
er, and we don't aim to sell him, cause my
little brother that died he always claimed
him, and nav sayed she never would
sell himP'-Octave Thanet in Atlantic
Monthly.

daisies ON the edge of a coal pit; there |

dust ground into me, trying to make
friends with the fresh, innocent daisies
in the sunshine.
"By that picture found them just in

was lying sick, i'll in body and tired and
sorrowed out. Their money was all
gone, for Gentleman Hugh had been
robbed of his last the night before. l
brought my dear child and her father
here. What l had was theirs.
"As soon as her father was safe with
me, his old friend, she got well. As soon
as his daughter was out of the way of
harm and want, and the old gentleman
had nothing to be crazy about and moth
ing to run away from, he stopped dead.
He fell into palsy.
"There he is now up stairs. Ellen
chose the upper room, where they could
look over the housetops and of clear
days see the Surrey hills. I've got some
skill in my fingers for mending broken
men, but Hugh Clitheroe can't be
mended. It's as well for him that he
can't. He's been off track too long ever
to run steady in this world. But he has
come to himself and sees things clearer
at last. He lies there contented and
patient, waiting for his end. He sees
his daughter, who has gone with him
through thick and thin, by his side, and
knows she will love him closer every
day. And he knows that his old mate,
Dwarf George, is down here in the bases
ment, strong enough to keep all up and
all together"

"How easy it seems for noble souls to
be nobler' thought l, as l followed Pad'-
ham up the neat staircase of his House
of Charity. What beautiful venge-
ance it is of this man upon nature for
blighting him! A meaner being would
be soured and turn cynic, and perhaps
chuckle that others were equalized with
him by suffering. He simply, and as if
it were matter of course, gives himself
to battling sorrow and blight. 1t is God
like" And / looked with renewed adj
miration at the strange figure climbing
the stairs before me.
He was all head and shoulders, and
his motions were like clumsy child's.
l went slowly after him. Was it true
that this long love-chase over land and
sea was at its ending? Was this grim
dwarf to be conjurer of happiness?
Padiham tapped at door in the upper
story.
A voice said, "Come in"
Her voice! That sweet, sad voicel
That unmurmuring, unrebellious voice!
That voice of gentle defiance, speaking a
soul impregnable! How full of calm
hopefulnessl while yet could detect in
it the power of bursting into all the hor-
ror of that dread scream that had come
through the stiffness to our camp at
Fort Bridger.

SOAKED TO THE SKIN.

The Veterans Reminded of Real Soldering
Days-A Day of Meetings in the Rain
Elections of Officers-Pennsylvani
Prominent All the Time.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2L-[ Special IA
look into the barracks in the Monument
grounds tonight shows sorry sight. The
earth is tramped into the condition of bog
all around the tent and the wooden lodging
houses Dripped clothing and umbrellas
have soaked the ground inside, and many Of
the old boys will sleep in wet toggery to-
night, as uncomfortable as in the
same sort of weather when soldering in
reality. The barracks, which have been
so lively and hilarious hitherto, are in
deed cheerless place to look upon, but the
vets seem to rather like it, as, without some
thing of this sort once in awhile, they
would probably forget many of the most
striking episodes of the army days.
Up to this time the sickness among the
assembled thousands has not been more
than was to be expected, but day or two
of this weather will fill the hospitals, the
doctors say. Though the public buildings
were crowded all day, the streets were also
constantly thronged, and most of the tough
veterans did not seem to care rap for the
rain. They strolled about soaked to the
skin, determined not to lose anything that
later in the evening to inquire for medi-
cines for coughs and colds.
Election of the Pennsylvania Reserves.
Many of the Pennsylvanians occupied
most of the day at reunions of more or less
importance, and with the business meetings
and election of officers of regimental or
o@ha toft
to their start for Tenleytown the Reserve
Association elected officers. Of course it is
we'll known that grand old Governor Curtin
is the president for life. Other Off
GERS are elected yearly, and those
chosen this morning are Captain John Tay-
lor, of Philadelphia, First Vice President;
Colonel George A. Woodward, of the Dis
trict of Columbia, Second Vice President
Captain F. F. Kirk, OF Williamsport, q
member of the Bucktails, Third Vice Presi-
dent; John R Mccormick, Secretary;
Colonel Chill Hazard, Corresponding Secre-
tary, and Colonel James Morrison, Treas
urer. Governor Pattison was present at the
meeting and made brief speech to the
veterans, with which they were much
pleased.
Reception for Some of Them.
The Tenth Pennsylvania Reserves were
rendered a reception and tea at the resi-
dence of Colonel John S. McCalmont, late
Commissioner of Customs, and citizen of
Franklin, Venango county. A large num-
Der attended the reception. The Second,
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Tenth Regiments
of Pennsylvania Reserves have associations,
and they will all elect officers before they
leave the city.
Mrs Charles Gerwig, of Allegheny, to-
day presented the Woman's Relief Corps
with handsome banner of old-gold silk,
suitably embroidered. A vote of thanks
was rendered her by the association.
The tallest man in the Grand Army is
William P. Bayne, of Greene county. He

ment, regardless Of color or nationality,
with the gratifying assurance that there re
no contests except the contest to see VIII o
can best serve the interests of the order.
With few words of praise for the loyal
women and the Sons of Veterans, he refers
to the passage of the disability pension bill
as a most munifcent act providing for all
honorably discharged soldiers suffering
from mental or physical disabilities, the
work on the marble statue OF General Grant
for the national Capital was progressing,
as also was the work on General GRANTS
tomb
Veterans as Government Employees.
In reference to veterans in the Govern
ment employ the speaker said:
To protect the rights of veterans Of the
late war is one OF the cardinal principles OF
our order. The pledge made by the Govern
ment in section 1754 of the revised statutes
~. S. has frequently been ignored.
Commander Palmer closed as follows:
As lay down the trust so unanimously
conferred upon me at Detroit, desire to
extend to members of my sta1f my grateful
acknowledgements for the cordial support
given me during my term of office. To them
/ am deeply indebted for that measure Of
success W which marks the administration Of

ceiyed at their hands everywhere. have

of subjects were submitted, and without be-
ing read were referred to the Committee on
Resolutions, which is expected 10 report to-
morrow.
The special committee appointed to pass
upon the report of the Surgeon General
brought in report congratulating the G.
A. r. upon the increased efficiency of that
bureau. The report was adopted, as was
the report of the Committee on Pensions,
which was included in that of the Adjutant
General, and contained no new feature OF
interest, simply reciting its recommends
tion to the Invalid Pension Committee OF
the House of Representatives that the de-
feet in the law of June 27. 1890, permitting
the decision that death on the battlefield
is not equivalent to an honorable discharge,
be remedied, and the submission to the
Commissioner of Pensions of requests that
pension agency be established in Oregon.
and that the clerical force of the Pension
Bureau be increased.
Fraternal Greetings All Around.
A delegation, headed BY Chairman Bond,
of the Department of Potomac from the
Union Veterans now in encampment here,
was received to present fraternal greetings
from that organization. Similar greetings
were received in writing from the Ladies
of the G. A. B., Daughters of Veterans and
the Woman's Relief Corps, and special COM
mittees were appointed to make suitable
responses
Corporal Tanner made few remarks,
telling how the arrangements for the pres
ent encampment were made, funds raised,
etc, and then came the question of where
the next encampment should be held 1t
was soon settled. Lincoln, Neb., announced
that she would not make O contest, and
after Governor Chase, of Indiana, had made
an address extolling the advantages of In
dianapolis, that place was selected by ac-
clamation. The exact date of the encamp-
ment will be fixed later on by the Council
of Administration.
The encampment then adjourned till 9
o'clock tomorrow morning.

Commander Palmer's Address.


Commander in Chief Palmer then read
his annual address He was frequently in
terrupted by applause. His speech was
lengthy. During the course of his remarks
he said:
The National Encampment of the Grand
Army OF the Republic brings together rep
resentstive soldiers from all over the loyal
land. There is scarcely a battlefield of that
great civil contest but has its representa-
tives here to-day Within its ranks are men
of all political parties and religious creeds-
The differences in rank which the army
fiected are lost in the equalities of a free and
common citizen. The dominating thought
is patrio ism. Its principles appeal to pa-s
triots of every name and party.
These annual gatherings of men who rem
dered loyal, devoted and patriotic service to
their country in the hour of peril, If they
serve no other purpose, will impress upon
the minds of the rising generation pro-
founder and deeper sense of the perils
through which we passed to preserve the
unity of the nation. They give renewed
strength to patriotism, tend to elevate our
national character and make US stronger
each succeeding year.
No Animosity Left Among Soldiers.
We cherish no feelings OF animosity or re-
venge against the men OF the South. l know
speak the sentiments of every true soldier
when say that whatever pride we have in
the past, whatever pride we brought back
from the battlefe!ds, We joyfully laid it
aside upon one altar and gladly mefEed the
title of soldier into greater one-that of
American citizen. 1t is peculiarly appropri-
ate that the survivors of the Union armies
should gather again in the capital of the
nation, which through four long years of
bloody strife they defended at the peril of
their lives. Almost within the sound OF my
voice there repose in that beautiful spot on
