A Capsize Drill Record.

In just % seconds from the time they
were plunged into the water and their
boat lay keel MP the crew of the Evans
ton life saving station was seated again
at the oars. Yesterday morning the crew
gave its annual exhibition capsize drill
off the Evanston station, and about 500
spectators upon the piers and hreakwa-
ters and along tho shore watched the
men as they overturned the boat and
righted it again. Four times was it cap
sized at intervals of several minutes, and
the time of righting it again varied not
more than three or four seconds. The
boat used was 10 feet long, with an eigh.
foot beam, and weighs 1900 pounds. It
is surfboat and is a self bailer. 1t
took about 65 seconds to right the boat
when the crew first learned. The crew
is composed of students of Northwestern
niversity.-Chicago Tribune.

There IL a sort OF summer scLOo. Il
temperance reformers az Point OF Pines
in Massachusetts,, and the wittiest and
hveliest man in il is General Neal Dow.
General Dow IS in his ninetieth year &C
cording TO the books, but he has the pug
nacity and the gayety of 10. The rum
sellers are not SO many as we are" La
said in his speech Tuesday, ''but they
pull together, while we 90 like a team Of
Kamchatka dogs" He attacked the vot-
ers Of Massachusetts, and the church
members. The liquor traffic" be said,
exists by the permission OF the mem
bership Of the churches" Altogether
he seems TO have been IN the very bAst
Of form.
We wish to compliment General Dow
upon his condition, not TO find fault with
theories which he has honestly bred and
advocated vigorously for SO many years.
Here is a man who has always enjoyed
himself and enjoys himself at 80. AL
though Of Quaker blood. he has always
been fighter, and his service in the war
was only an incident in life Of soldier
ing. Extreme in opinion, strong Of
speech, he has been in motion and activity
constantly and has taken labor like an
exercise. ONE persons live an inert and
cabbagelik existence to extreme old age
The oil lasts long because the wick uses
so little. General Dow has always been
in the thick of things, and it agrees with
him. New York Sun.

a Hot Day Episode.

MET old Dryley on the street 'tother
day" said Oldboy, IAN l says: Hello
sport, where hev you been for the last
while? Haven't seen you for quite a pc
Rod of space
Been under the weather. says Dry
ley.
"'Well, why don't you get out from
underr' say l. It's high enough now
Cant do it. says he; it's got the
drop on me- and he mopped few large
ones off his brow.
Talking bout drops, says l, come
on
I'VE went into Spieler's and called for
two full grown mems doses of beer.
Spieler can push more wind into a
schooner than any other man on earth.
An old chap in there, with a seersuck-
er coat an back number plug hat, held
his glass of lather up on level with his
eye, squinted critically at the scant half
incl of amber color that lay beneath the
foam and acclaimed as follows:
"'Well, gents, | amt no fool.
Nor yit amt no scholar,
But I'd like TO know how beer keeps cool
With such darned high collar
Then we all got rabid and began
frothing at the mouth-at Spieler's ex
pense. "-Pittsburg Post.

Miles of Silk.

In honor Of the celebration of the sixty
ninth birthday Of the queen regent of
China 100000 pieces of red silk, each
40feet long and feet wide, were ordered
to be made in the imperial mills of Nan
king, Soo-Chow-Foo and Hang-Chow-
Foo. With these the streets of Picking are
to be decorated for a distance of 40 miles.
The queen regent has also decreed that
the customary birthday gifts annually
presented by the provincial mandarins
be omitted this year and the money de-
voted to the relief of the poor, who have
suffered much from the unusually Sc
we're winter season.-St. Louis Post-Dis-

peaCh Baskets.

Peach baskets in few weeks will be-
come Il nuisance TO be got rid of as quick
ly as possible. just now they are in
great demand, and huge trees are being
gnawed up by the Unsuitable machines
that are being run to their full capacity
in the making of them. The wood used
is poplar, gum and sycamore, and occa-
sionally birch, and costs 81 cord stand
ing in the forest. The tree is cut down
and sawed into short lengths, and the
logs are then plunged into hot water
bath, where they stay "a hours. Then
they are taken out, the bark stripped of,
and the wood split by curious machines
into veneering thiclnesses, which are
then run through various other compli-
Gated machines until they emerge COM
pleted fruit baskets. The men who
make them are paid cent basket, and
If expert they turn out $50 day. When
the basket is finished, it is still damp
from its hot bath, and it is dried thor
oughly before shipping to prevent mil
