Death in Their Work.

Glders, photographers and those who
handle the hydro and potassic cyanides
are liable to suffer from chronic poisoning
by hydrocyanic acid. They have head
ache, giddiness, noises in the ear, difficult
respiration, pain over the heart, loss of APP
petite-in short, show all the evidences of
mild poisoning. Zinc workers, too, suffer.
Zinc is used as pigment in calico print
ing, in disco!oring glass, in polishing OPP
tical glasses and in making artificial meer~
schaum pipes.
So men die in the harness in these and
a hundred other occupations, killed by the
very air they breathe. And other men
step into their shoes-New York World.

1t is pleasant to note the many
business changes in Waco since the
beginning of the new year, for the
reason that in nearly every instance
the change is from a smaller to a
larger business, and from smaller to
more commodious quarters. There is
nothing that could give stronger evil
dence of general business prosperity
than the steady increase of individual
and corporate business institutions in
this city during the last few months.
True, there has been failure now
and then, but they have been insig-
ni6oant and did not reflect in the least
upon the stability of business interests
in the Geyser City. Waco is quietly
reaching up.

presidents of the Hill club organized
at Cameron declines the honor for the
following excellent reasons:
81 am not an unqualified Hill man
against the field, as / am opposed to
his financial views. Further | am
opposed to New York dictatir & who
shall be president and the financial
legislation Of this country. want a
change from this rule. | propose to
support the Democrat for president,
until the convention makes a nomina-
ton, whose financial views suit mine
best; and do not intend to be witch
ed off my choice before the cohven-
ton so dominates. l indorse the
principles of Democracy as enacted
by Jefferson, Jackson, Monroe and
other grett Lights of Democrscy in
this country, but l detest the so called
Democracy laid down by Mr.. Finley
of TJ Ter, and will not support him or
his followers. want more Deinoora-
cy and less Tsmmany and Wall
street"
MIR. Tracy further states that he
was not present at the organization of
the club and was surprised to see his
name in the list of Independents.
He wants more Democracy and less
Tammany and Wall Street, which is a
rafting good platform in itself, and
the sooner Texas gets on it the better
for Texas. Mr.. Tracy "detests the
so called Democracy laid down by
Mr.. Finley, of Tyler, and will not
support him or his followers Then
follows his demand for more Demo
crscy and less Tammany, which would
indicate that Mr.. Tracy considered
Finley and his followers part and
parcel of the Tammany crowd and time
will prove that Mr.. Tracy is correct.
Now and then an administration paper
is found fsvoring Cleveland for presi-
dent, but those most influential favor
Hill, and they will all fall in line
with the Tammany crowd, or out of
line with Finley and his followers. To
this complexion it will surely come,
and Texans had just as we'll begin to
make up their minds whether they will
surrender to Tammany hall through
the Texas contingent or resent every
effort of the Tiger to get his claws
into their state.

ANCIENT TOOLS.
Stone-Cutting Implements Used by the
Egyptians.

Stone-Cutting Implements Used by the
Egyptians.
During a residence of two years in a
tomb at Gizeh Mr.. William NJ. Flinders
Petrie collected evidence showing that
the tools used in working stone four
thousand years ago were made with
jeweled-cutting edges, as is the modern
custom. He has stated his reasons for
coming to these conclusions and proves
in very satisfactory manner that the
pyramid-builders used solid and tubular
drills, straight and circular saws and
many other supposed modern tools in
erecting that greatest of buildings. He
also shows that their lathe tools were
set with Jewels and that they did work
with them that would puzzle the mod
ern artisan. IN one place he found
where the lines of cutting on a granite
core made by tubular drill form uni
form depth throughout, showing that
the cutting point was not worn as the
work advanced. The regular taper of
the core would also go to prove that the
drill was set with jewels on the inside
and outside alike, thereby facilitating
it's removal. In some specimens OF
granite he found that the drill had sunk
one-tenth of an inch at each revolution,
the pressure necessary to accomplish
this having been at least two tons.
The capacity of the tools and the skill
of the workmen are illustrated by the
clean cut they made through soft and
hard materials alike, there being no
difference in the width of the groove
when it passed through soft sandstone
and granite as hard as iron. Nothing
is known concerning the material OF
which their tools were made, nor how
| the jewels were set. The diamond was
very scarce at that time, therefore the
only logical conclusion is that they
| used corundum. Chicago Tribune.

A village in the western part of the
state recently delegated young mar
ried woman to attend the Woman's
Christian Temperance union conveR-
ton held at East Aurora. The wife
left her husband to keep house for two
days, and had most glorious time at
the convention, discussing the best
mode of wiping the curse of rum off the
face of the earth. The husband staid
at home on an exhilarating diet of cold
mince pie. But as the evening of the
last day wore ON he became very lone
some and betook himself to neighbor-
ing tavern for the first time in his life.
His wife, on her return, found her hus-
band still in a drowsy mood, and de-
cidedly uncertain as to how and when
he returned home. There has been an
executive session of small branch OF
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union at that house ever since.-Utica

Engagement Rings.

An engagement ring is no longer the
special prerogative of the sex feminine,
but the accepted suitor must also wear
the token that silently yet effectively
proclaims the fact that he has become,
as it were, private property. Of course,
when the lover presents to his fiance
the gem-set circlet which marks her for
his own, opportunity is afforded for
artfully learning the preferences of the
young man in this particular line OF
jewelry, and as soon thereafter as may
be he is the surprised (?) recipient of a
love of ring, perfectly suiting his ideas
of what gentleman's ring ought to be,
which is convincing evidence of their
oneness of taste-in matters artistic at
least. The favorite engagement ring
at present for lady has overlapping
ends. each set with a gem, diamond
with either ruby, sapphire, rnoonstone
or pearl; and for gentleman, band
of gold with two or three gems, a dia-
lnond with ruby or sapphire, or all
three, set very deep. Another popular
style of ring for a gentlemen is a chain
of platinum and gold with true-lovers
knot on top. Engraved inside of each
ring are the initials of both parties and
the date of Observation-Disclosures,

sort for the Irish soldiery of the British
army. At this time the greatest part
of the English had left the city, intend
ing to surprise Washington at White
Marsh, and those that remained were
enjoying themselves in anticipation OF
to-morrow's festivities.
Bates knew all about the enterprise,
and when the wagon drove under the
shed unlocked a stable door and the
party stepped in, finding abundant food
awaiting them. 1t was an excellent
night for the enterprise-warm and
foggy.
The old prison stood on the southeast
corner of Sixth and Walnut streets,
and extended back to Prune, where the
wall was twelve feet high. On the east
was stable belonging to the mansion
on Walnut street, owned by the Hazel
hurst family. Grobe had been stead
fast and Philip awaited Christmas eve
with feverish eagerness.
About midnight Bates whispered
"Now, men the streets are clear and it's
raining" In moment they were up

wood. just as the state house bell
struck one Christmas morning man
with lantern came in. "Now, cap
tain, quick" They stole out into the
yard. The black demons who were the
hangmen of the place were bowling
like wild beasts from their quarters on
the Sixth street side, but not a guard
was abroad In the southeast corner
of the yard were a number of hogs
heads, and on these Philip mounted and
his guide disappeared.
Philip gave a low ''hist," and in q
second something scraped on the wall
it was knotted rope. Hand over
hand he went until he was grasped by
the collar and violently hauled over the
parapet, and his heart have bound as
he heard McClain's voice in his ear.
Like cats the entire party descended.
Noke was in the street with the
wagon. Enough hay lay over the
standards to conceal the party, and
they quickly crawled inside. There
was plenty Of danger ahead, but it was
near morning and very dark, and but
few soldiers abroad.
They had to pass the Bennett man

Poor Mabel was on her knees when
the girl burst into the room with the
news. She flew to the window, but
could only hear the wheels of the
wagon that was speeding her lover to
life and safety.
From the Point Meadows the party
had no trouble in reaching the Ameri-
can camp.
The rest is easily told. Old Bennett
died and in 1888 Philip and Mabel were
married. Lottie, her sister, went to

In his excitement his voice rose, and
the two men in the next room heard
him say, with startling distinctness:
You're a liar understand? What
you say is foul, deliberate lie, and
tell you SO to your face"
The man in the next room, with his
chair against the door connecting the
two rooms, got up and hastily moved
away, and he and his companion waited
silently for the climax.

went on the voice. "Your enmity is
