firing for the 8. A. p, or "scabing,"
as it is called, went into Fred Mock

he had left there. Waters, who work Q
at the saloon, jumped him and
knocked him down. Captain Hen

both. Judge Devine says there have
been but two cases before him since
the strike opened. and that in both
cases it was not the strikers who were
mixed up in it, but men whom the
strike did not concern in the least.

Charged Him With Impudence.

Not long since leading physician
was called at an early hour in the
morning to the apartments of a busi-
ness man in certain hotel to treat the
mans wife, who had been seized with
cramps. The doctor remained until
very nearly daylight with his patient,
and when he left she had been relieved
of her pain. While waiting the hus-
band invited the physician to take a
drink of brandy-an invitation that
was accepted. The drink, however.
appeared to sour the temper of the
uu 5dand for, when the doctor came to
take his leave and his wife was thanking
the gentleman for his kindness, he
blurted out, whats the use of thank
ing himP That's his business" The
doctor pocketed the insult and left.
The following week bill was sent for
SO, and the husband wrathfully hunt
ed up the doctor to know what it
meant. ut is this way replied the
doctor, ordinarily my bill would
have been but S., but had to charge
you for your impudence." III not
pay it, SIR" clustered the husband.
Then I'll sue you for it." was the
response. This had the effect of bring
ing the husband to terms, and he re-
luctantly handed over the money. The
doctor, reaching down in his pocket.
extracted therefrom a silver half
dollar, which he gravely passed over
with the remark: This is for that
drink of brandy that l had in your
room. Now we are even. Don't ever
send for me again. Good day"

Wearing Out Leather.

'I have but one maxim for you,"
said successful and wealthy mer-
ehant to a young man who went out of
his employ to enter upon the study of
a profession, ''and that is never to try
to save your shoe leather, but always
to be economical of the cloth that forms
the seat of your trousers"
The young man pondered this bit of
advice long time, but he thinks that
he never fully understood it until he
had been at work at his profession for
several years.
He found, indeed, that ''worn out
shoe leather" was good investment.
1t meant, for one thing, keeping up
with the time by gaining information
at first hand. If he needed any facts
bearing upon his profession he said to
himself: Il can buy them with a little
shoe leather" and he went out and
saw the men who had the facts to give
him.
If he had waited for them to come to
him probably they would never have
come. He could not buy the informa-
ton with pantaloon Youths

FAMOUS SWORD or TlcoNpERocA.
The Weapon Carried and Welded b.
Brave Old Ethan Allen.

The sword which Col. Ethan Allen
carried when he demanded the sur
render OF Fort Ticonderoga sin the
name of the great Jehovah and the
Continental Congress" is, by gift and
inheritance, the personal property of a
Young newspaper man of jackson,
Hannibal Allen Hopkins.
The sword is an old-fashioned blade,
nicked and venerable, twenty-seven
inches long, and slightly curved. The
handle measures seven inches making
the total length of the weapon thirty
four inches The handle is of bone or
horn. The mounting, is of silver,
washed with gold, the latter being
partially worn off. A dogs head of
silver forms the end of the handle,
and from this to the guard runs a sill
yer chain. On one of the silver bands
of the scabbard the name, ethan
Allen" is engraved in large letters;
on another band "E. Brasher, maker,
n. York;: and on still another, in
script, Martin Vosburg, 1870" Why
this name appears no one knows.
There appears to be no reason to
doubt that with this sword Col. Ethan
Allan backed up his demand for the
surrender of the fortress at Ticonder-
oga May 10, 1775. In Memoir OF
Col. Ethan Allen, containing the most
interesting incidents of his private and
public career. F. ?. Allen, Pr, Platts-
burg, n. Y, 1S34"-of which but one
or two copies are in existence-are
| found Ethan Allan's own words de
scribing the use of this sword on that
| occasion. At the time of the assault a
British sentry made a pass at one OF
the American officers with a bayonet
and slightly wounded him.
"My first thought" says Col. Allen,
"was to kill him with my sword, but
in an instant I altered the design and
fury of the blow to slight cut on the
side of the head, upon which he drop
ped his gun and asked for quarter,
which 1 readily granted him, and de-
manded of him the place where the
commanding officer kept"
The sentry showed the way. Col.
Allen says of the British commander
| of whom the surrender of the fort was
| demanded:
@He asked me by what authority
| demanded it. I answered him, In the
/ name of the great Jehovah and the
Continental Congress. The authority
of the Congress being very little
known at that time he began to speak
again, but interrupted him, and
with my drawn sword over his head
| again demanded the immediate sur
render of the garrison, with which he
then complied"
The fort, the garrison, and about 10(
| pieces of cannon were the results o.
this bloodless battle in the gray dawr
of that eventful morning.
"The sum-" adds brave Ethan Aller
to his account of the victory, seemed
to rise that morning with superior
luster and Ticonderoga and its de
pendencies smiled on its conquerors
who tossed about the flowing bowl anC
wished success to Congress and liberty
and freedom to America. st. LouG

Hungarian Women.

Ia the Hungarian women we pur
posely overlook any folbies that may
exist. for without palaver, the Hun
garian women are among the most
beautiful in the world. They are not

composed of cobwebs and the odor of
musk, with a Sicklv pallor or IA hectic
flush in their cheeks. No; erect and
straight as a candle, nearty and vigor-
Gus to the core. the rare pictures of
good health and abounding vitality.
They are gifted with small feet full
arms, plump hands with tapering fin
gers and " ear long braids. The sun
has spread a reddish-golden tint or
darker tone over the complexion. The
Hungarian woman is not beauty of
classical contour, nor does she perhaps
frequently present a riddle to the psy
chologist, and ethereal poets will
scarcely find a theme in her for hyper
sentimental reveries. She is rather
the vigorous embodiment of primevaI
womanhood.
AS her exterior, so her whole char
acter is enchantingly fresh and posi-
tive. She likes to eat well, is fond of
a drop of wine, takes naturally to
swimming, dancing, gymnastics, and
has not the least objection to being
admired. Although not specially in
clined to sentimental effusiveness, in
one sense of the term, she may, in
moments of love and passion, give a
profoundly stirring expression to her
emotions; she may clothe her senti-
ment in words of enrapturing aeGiOete,
drawn from the depths of the national
temperament, if it does not find utter
ance in the all-expressive "jai," whis-
pered in the acme of ecstasy, accom-
panied by an ineffably blissful glance.
This is true of the so-called girls of the
people no less than of women of the
higher classes, for grace and beauty
know no difference between high and
low, and often bestow upon a poor,
barefooted. short-skirted peasant girl

the same magically attractive glance,

Another curious Japanese crab is
the little Dorippe, which comes from
the Inland Sea of Japan. and has
perfect human face modelled on the
back of his little inch-long shell. The
Dorippe's eyes. and the uneven edge
of the shell between them. look like
tufts of hair at the top of narrow
forehead. There are Jumps resemb-
ling eyelids, which slant upward as do
those of the japanese. and other parts
of the shell look like full and high
cheek bones. Below a ridge which
might be called the nose two claws
spread out at either side. and may be
likened to the fierce, bristling mus
taches which are fastened to the
helmet of japanese armor. This
plainly marked face on the crabs shell
naturally gave rise to many stories and
legends. At one place in the Inland
Sea, centuries ago, an army of the
Taira clan was overtaken and driven
into the sea by their enemies. At GER
tain times of the year the Dorippes
come up on the beach and the rocks
by thousands. Then the fishermen
SanaurGi have come again" They

warriors, or Samurai live in the
Dorippes, and that they gather in great
numbers at the scene of their defeat
whenever the same day comes round
in later years.
The face on the Dorippe's back is
like swollen and notified one, The
eyelids seem closed, as if in sleep or
stupor, while its mouth quite carries
out the other common story, that all
the old topers are turned into these
crabs and must keep that form as a
punishment for some long time. The
swollen heavy faces may quite as well
be those of bleary old topers as ot
warriors who met death by drowning
so that one who notices the resemblance
of the shell to a queer japanese face
may think there is good reason fol
either story as to why the Dorippe''
shell is SO strangely marked. R

A BIG KITCHEN.

That department of the home of
greatest interest to housekeepers is the
dining hall and kitchen. says writer
in Harper's Weekly apropos of the
Soldiers Home at Dayton. Both are
contained in one building. the front
portion of which is occupied on both
the upper and lower floors by two din
ing-rooms, each 90x130 feet, and to-
gether comprising an area exceeding
half an acre. The rear one-story por-
ton contains the kitchen, bakery,
bread and pie rooms, cooling vaults,
and all the paraphernalia necessary to
the providing for this vast household.
Each dining-room seats LOO men,

the force of walters and so accurate
the discipline that only twenty minutes
are required to clear the tables, and
prepare them for the second 2. 600 din

BUcKLAND'S BLUE BAG.
Lord Granville Insisted Upon Carrying 1t
Upon One Occasion.

DR.. Frank Buckland the naturalist,
was one of the men about whom it is
natural for anecdotes to cluster, says
the Youths Companion. Wherever he
went he carried an umbrella and a
blue bag. OF the bag he used to say
that the greatest honor it ever had re-
ceived was when Lord Granville once
insisted on carrying it; and the worst
disgrace it had ever suffered was when
its owner called upon Sir Humphry
Davy three or four times in one day
and always found him not at home.
At last Sir Humphry said to his SER
want Has DR.. Buckland not called to-
dayP" mo, sir,n answered the SER
want, who evidently believed himself a
judge of human nature; there has
been nobody here but a man with a
bag, who has been here three or four
times and always told him you were
out"
The foregoing anecdOte is related in
DR.. Richardson's biography of Thomas
Sopwith, and Mr.. Sopwith himself, in
his diary, relates another.
Soon after the opening of the Great
Western railway public attention was
called to the inclination of the Box
tunnel, which was said to be nearly in
the same direction as the bedding of
the strata. The thin, wedge-shaped
edges of the stratified rock were liable
to scale off. it was thought. and there
was danger that the vibration which
accompanies the passing of the train
might bring them down upon the car
riages. On this subject DR.. Buckland
made some observations at a meeting
Off hn of iuiJ
and this was followed by comments in
the Times and other papers.
Shortly afterward an elderly gentle
man was travelling in first-class car
riage between Bristol and the Box
tunnel. which latter place the train
was approaching. Several persons
were in the carriage, and the CONVEX
sation turned on the alleged insecurity
of the roof of the tunnel. A smart
young gentleman, who sat opposite
the gentleman already mentioned, said
there was no danger. and freely ridi-
culed the nonsense which DR.. Buck
land had uttered and written about it.
so ignorant is the doctor about the
matter" said the young man, ''that
he does not even know the shape of
the tunnel, for he wrongly describes
it." You appear to be well acquaint-
ed with the subject remarked the
elderly gentleman. Yes" was the
reply, Il certainly ought to be, for 1
am one of the engineers employed on
the line" lis this, then. the shape
of the tunnel?" asked the elderly gen.
tleman, at the same time exhibiting a
drawing of it on one of the pages of a
memorandum book. "Oh dear, nor'
said the youth; nothing like it. That's
the shape DR.. Buckland has described
and he is all wrong; he knows moth
ing about it." well" said the elder
ly gentleman to the listening passen-
gers, Il suppose we must pay great
Difference to this young gentleman, as
he is an engineer on the line and per-
fectly well acquainted with the tunnel.
At the same time let me say that 1 am

Triumphs of Chemistry.

Chemists distinguish between vari-
Gus kinds of sugars. To one class be-
longs cane sugar, which is formed in
the sugar cane, sorghum, beet and
maple, and which we use at the table.
To another class belong the glucoses.
of which the fruit sugar that occurs in
grapes and other fruits, and the glu-
cose which is manufactured on a large
scale from the starch of corn, are SAM
Piles. Some time since Prof. Fischer
of Wurzburg, Germany. succeeded in
the synthesis of several sugars closely
allied to fruit sugar. He has found a
way to transform glucose into sugar
of the type of cane sugar. We have
long known how to convert starch and
cane sugar to glucose. The process is
one of changing more complex COM
pound to a simpler one. But the pos
sibility of reversing the process was
long doubted. Yet just this is what
Prof. Fischer has now accomplished.
Still more remarkable, was going
to say-but the time for calling such
things remarkable seems to be past-is
the account of the preparation of an
albuminoid compound by synthesis.
How carbohydrates and fats may be
prepared artiicially we have come to
understand. But the albuminoid COM
pounds contain more chemical ele-
ments and are far more complex; they
are, indeed. the highly organized ma
terial of vegetable and animal life.
That these substances could be made
in the laboratory has been hard to be-
lieve. Yet Prof. Schutzenberger of
Paris has reported to the French
Academy of Science the synthesis of a
compound similar to the peptone into
which the albuminoids of our food are
transformed in the process of diges-
tion.-Prof. AtaOate7 IN Century.

HOW FRENCH BANK BILLS AREMADE
More than 400 Persons are Employed in
Manufa cturing Them.


All bills are issued by the Bank of
France, which carries on the whole
process of manufacture, including even
that of the paper on which they are
printed and the ink used. The paper
factory is at La Ferte-sous-Jo Jouarre,
where linen rags are so treated as to
produce paper of a peculiar quality.
This special paper is made, inspect
ed, cut into sheets and shipped to
Paris under the care of two of the
bank officials, who are held RESPONSE
BILE for every sheet.
The sheets are packed in bundles of
l. 600 in each and are printed in the
basement of the bank building in
Paris. AS with the blank paper, the
bills. in every stage of fabrication. are
in charge of some official who must
account for every one which has come
into his hands, either by showing it,
or receipt given for it by the official
to whom he has handed it over. As
the bank has sometimes printed 400. :
900 bills day, and at such periods en-
ployed 400 persons in the printing de-
partment. strict accounts are neces-
sary to prevent loss. and an elaborate
system of numbering and. checking is
used
A series of bills consists of 1000
which are numbered from 1 to 1,000
and twenty-five series, lettered A, B.
q, etc., and tied up together, under
the name of an ''alphabet." After
each operation, the bills are verified bv
women, who sign their names on the
band placed around the bundles. AS
there are nine operations there must
be nine verifications. and the final
verification is repeated by a fresh set
of inspectors. so that nothing can be
overlooked. After the bills are COM
plete they are delivered to the Secre-
tary of the bank, who examines them
discharging the head of the printing
department from further responsible
ity. They are then placed in the vaults
and are withdrawn for issue only by
order of the governors of the bank.
The principal difficulty in regulating
the accounts comes from the defective
bills. No bill is allowed to pass the
inspector which shows spot. an un-
even margin, defect in printing. or
any other imperfection, and the bills
thrown out must be recorded in the
books with quite as much accuracy as
those which pass successfully to the
final stage. Every bill rejected by the
inspectors is stamped, and its place in
the series filled by a check. The
stamped bills go to the secretary of
the bank, who puts them under lock
and key, and new bills, corresponding g
to the checks are printed, and credit is
given to the paper manufactory for the
paper necessary to make these.
The accounts of the 'faulted" bills
are carried through the books, and for
verifcation the stamped bills them
selves are kept for five years. At the
end of that time if there has been no
question about them, the regents OF
the bank, the secretary, the examiners,
the chiefs of the printing department,
and the chiefs of the department oi
bill accounts join in signing an order
in pursuance of which they are taken
from the vaults and destroyed
