A .Monntsr Wheel.

The new ao-foot Aywheel to replace
tho one which burst on the Amoskeag
corporation at Manchester, N. H., last
fall, has been completed and put in
position for use as soon as the engine
is in readiness. Twenty thousand feet
of brown ash was used in the construc-
ton of the wheel, as well as 18,0003S by
31k-inch screws, lot of iron rods, tons
Of iron and quarts of glue. The small
wooden sections are fastened together
by glue and the screws, and to strengthen
the whole there are stout iron rods pass
ing through the sections in addition to
tina. The screws are driven by steam
power. To make the whole mass as
compact as possible narrow openings
wero left between some Of the sections,
and into these were tightly driven well
fitting wedges soaked in boiling hot
glue.
The time of its test is being awaited
with interest by tho mill people. It has
been necessary to keep large gang Of
men at work upon the racks in the mill
in order to prevent interference in the
mills from ice.-LoweQ Citizen.

Rrouxhf tho On aciala to Terms.

A determined German brought the Of
fcials Of a New Jersey railroad company
to terms. So crowded was local train
on the Morris and Essex railroad that
many of the passengers could not find
seats. As the train started, an indig-
nant Teuton stopped the train by pulling
the bell cord and demanded that an
empty car on the track be attached.
The other passengers sustained him, but
the demands were not needed. When
tho train started again the German once
more pulled the bell cord and announced
that he would pull it every time the
train started unless another car was at
tached. After considerable dispute the
railroad officials gave in, backed down
the train, attached another car, and
thus furnished seats for all it's passen-
gers.-Yankee Blade.

Tuesday evening the bells of all the
parish churches of Brussels rang merry
peals to celebrate the anniversary of the

they left there, and for SIX years nc

were given up for lost, and more than

of giving a successor to the absent one,
