The Universal Language of Chemistry.

In looking over the regents questions

pointed out that ''dioxid" was spelled
without the final "e," commonly used,
and said: "All over the world chemists
are dropping the useless Q in such words
as end with de or me- In fact, chem

Unrestricted Coinage in India.

CHICAGO, July IS. - Ideal weather
greeted visitors to the worlds fair this
morning. The skies were cleared, the

MOVING MACHINE TRIALS.
The worlds fair field trial of moving

ers IN the world, and Calvin Young OF
Auburn, N. Y. The field in which the
test occurred was covered with heavy
timothy of yield of about three tons to
the acre. Machines were first used with
five foot bars. The Whitley machine
cut one acre in exactly 321a minutes,
with five stops to clear the bar OF clog
ging grass. The Mccormick machine
consumed exactly the same time, with
but one stop. The apprecisble differ.
ence between the two trials was that
the Mccormick mower made less noise
while in operation and cut much closer
to the ground. 49,
The next trial was with the "Big
Four" seven foot bar and the McCor-
mick machine. The Whitley company
did not compete. The time consumed
by this machine in cutting one acre was
| 261b minutes. A test with dynamo
meter showed that the power required
| to haul the Mccormick machine was
about 10 per cent less than the Whitley.
| The iudpee announced no formal con-
clusion today, but it is tacitly under
stood that the award will be made to
the Mccormick.

binding a Shark.

A successful diver must possess great
courage and nerves Of steel. Such a
man, connected with large wrecking
company, was visiting the pearl fisher
les in the gulf of California. On one of
his trips in quest of the pearl oyster he
had narrow escape from a fearful
death.
He had been instructed never to stir
from the bottom until he had looked up
and around. Fortunately he needed the
advice. Having filled his bag he glanced
quickly about, and caught sight of a
huge shovel nosed shark watching him.
In an emergency men think fast. Near
the diver was a large rock. He moved
quickly to the other side of it, hoping to
dodge the ferocious monster. But the
maneuver did not work; the shark
watched every movement, changing lis
position by slight motion of his power
full tall
Time was precious, and the diver con-
ceived the idea of binding the shark by
stirring up the mud. Under cover of
that he might escape. He worked for
dear life, and had the water thick with
mud in less than half minute.
Slipping around the rock again he rose
to the surface, having barely strength
enough to reach the side Of the boat, and
was hauled on board just as the vora-
cious man eater made rush for him.

PIacer's Big Cherry Trees.

In some remote age the deep, whirling
waters of the American river at Monte
Rio washed out the rock layers of long
previous geological formation to the
depth of probably 200 feet or more, and
this excavation being filed to half it's
depth by alluvial material from the
sides of adjacent hills, formed deposit
over sixty feet deep and soma ten or
twelve acres in present area.
The waters of the American now form
only small stream, the alluvial deposit
that has made the giant cherry tree
growth being ten OF dozen feet higher
than the usual current of the deep river
channel. The soil Of Hector's cherry
orchard has been bored to over sixty
feet in depth without touching bed rock
or rock of any kind, the alluvial quality
continuing to this great depth. On
about four acres of this soil black Tar
tartan cherry trees were set in 1862 or
1863 by ancestral relatives Of the pres
ent owner, several smaller orchards or
additions having been planted since.
There are $50 large trees that yield 40
boxes, or 400 pounds each, in alternate
years. The trees are kept trimmed Of
all dead wood and lime washed every
season, and are still making vigorous and
healthy growth. The tallest tree is 60
feet high, with head from so to 55 feet
in width, and over a score more of the
$50 large trees are from 40 to so feet tall,
with corresponding width of top growth
so that the excess in height of the tal1esf
tree is not very conspicuous. -Country

There are many things which women
do not approve in men, as there are
doubtless many faults in the moral and
mental composition of women which
are distasteful to men.
The violence and abusiveness, the lack
of dignity, and even those personal diff
ferences which are emphasized with
blows it would be painful to see intro
duced into an assemblage of women.
Nevertheless there is no reason why the
other extreme of excessive amiability
should be aimed at, with the caressing
and petting that have their proper and
only place within the four walls and the
strict seclusion of home. 1t is a far cry
from the masculine turbulence of po-
litical primary to the excessive sweetness
of the too "womanly" convention, but
there lies between ire two a golden
mean, where courtesy and refinement
and unceasing regard fer the feelings of
others are perfectly compatible with
official dignity and refreshing good sense.

From the Romans.

"Put your right foot foremost" is a
piece of advice that has been offered to
most folk, young and old, in the course
of their lives. 1t is generally equiva-
lent to saying, ''Now's your chance; do
your very best and show what you are
capable Of" Like great many COM
mon phrases this expression has an old
origin. In the days of ancient Rome,
when people were usually the slaves of
some superstition OF other, it was
thought to be unlucky to cross The
threshold of house with the left foot
first. Consequently boy was placed at
the door of the mansion to remind Wis
itors that they were to put their right
foot foremost. The use of the phrase in
the wider sense soon became obvious

Rats in an English School.

In the summer holidays of 1858 the
floor of Long chamber in Elton school
was removed, and two large carloads OF
bones, chiefly of necks of mutton, were
taken from between the floor and the
ceiling of the rooms below. How they
came there WIS explained by Mr.. Car
ter, then vice provost. He told the pres
ent writer that when the sixth form
boys took their supper in chamber" the
rats were wont to como out Of holes in
the floor and wainscot to feed on the
bones which were flung to them. When
these animals from time to time became
a nuisance by their numbers, a flag was
sent round while the rats were feeding
to insert long stockings in their holes
with the apertures carefully opened.
The modern sock was then unknown.
When this was done an alarm was
given. The rats on rushing to their holes
were trapped in the stockings, which
were then drawn out, and the rats were
banged to death against the beds. "And
you went into school next morning in
the same stockings, sir?" "Of course, of
course" was the reply; "we could not
get clean stockings when we pleased. -

The First War Correspondents.

In a sense Julius Caesar was war cor

his leisure in the subsequent peace time.
The old Swedish Intelligencer of the
Gustavus Adolphus period was genuine

tardily compared with our news of to-

scene of action, full of distinctiveness,
quaint and racy beyond compare.

DIstilIinp Rose Perfumes.

We stopped before hahn to look at a
distillery and rose field and were well
coined by the proprietor, who was also
landlord Of the inn. Seats were put for
us behind the brazier, where it was not
a little warm, and soon miniature cups
of coffee were presented to us by his rosy
checked wife.
In front Of long shed six large chal-
drons stood over the brazier. and into
these vessels about a e100 worth Of
roses were put with warm water. The
iron tubes through which the vapor es-
capes passed through long tin recep-
tacle shaped like a trough, which was
filed with cold water, and below which
large glass bottles stood to receive the
first distillation. Three Installations are
necessary before the oil of the rose ap-
pears.
We were shown a small bottle into
which the essence just distilled had been
poured. The color is rich, deep gold,
and the smell is strong, subtle and pene-
~trating-pleasant for the first instant,
but soon producing a sense of giddiness
and oppression in the head. 1t affects
everything near it, and the perfume
clings tenaciously even in the open air.
The proprietors are secured from be-
ing cheated, as the peasants cannot en-
dure the perfume they themselves manu-
facture and make no use of it what
ever. It is sealed up in leaden bottles
and sent to the great perfume empori-
ums in London and Paris, and a thou
sand different scents each have as their
essence a few drops of this rich, thick
oil.-Blackwood's Magazine.

It was away back in the forties, we
think, when it was one of the estab-
lished rules of the cotton factories in
Lowell, Mass, that operatives in the
mill were required to give two weeks
notice of intention to quit work. and
the two weeks pay was held back by
the managers, and those who left
without giving the required notice re-
ceived nothing for the two weeks Ia
Dor. On one occasion Maine girl,
who was one of the operatives, was
called home ON account of the sick
ness of her mother, and failing to give
notice the managers refused to pay
her the amount due for two weeks
work. The young lady called on B.
F. Butler, who was then a young
lawyer, and stated the case to him.
Butler at once said: Il will collect
your pay" and he did, and this is the
way he did it: He made demand
for the amount due the girl, which
was refused. Butler then procured a
writ and had the officer attach the
water wheel which run the mill with
its thousand or moro spindles, where
the girl had been at work. The wheel
was thrown out of gear and the ma
chine1y of the mill came to a stand
still, throwing thousands Of employees
out of work. The owners could not
afford to have their mill lie idle, not
even for an hour, SO they paid Butler
the amount due his client and the
great water wheel was allowed to per-
form its functions. By this act But
Ter gained widespread reputation
as shrewd Elawyer, although if the
mill owners could have taken the
time they would have beat him, but
they could not wait for legal steps,
Butler did not possess the eloquence
of Rufus Choate, but we believe him
to have been quite as profound law

Haunted by an advertisements.


Have you ever been haunted by an i'd
vertisement?
1 have asked lots of people that ques-
ton and they nearly all tell RIO that
they have underg 9pc Euch an experience
at one time or another.
The particular lad" that haunts me is
one containing the picture OF mans
face. A very in6iEia face it Is, too. with
an absolutely perfect black muStache
attached to it, IT hasa grewsolne effect,
too, as there is no neck visibly attached
to the head, and / have often wondered
IL 1t would be possible to cut mans
head off SO that none of the neck would
be left on.
This face persists in getting in front
of me and staring at me with those
meek eyes. No matter which end OF an
elevated car go in just as soon as am
comfortably seated in seat | can feel
that face looking at me; and sure
enough there it always is-abOVe the
windows directly across the car. Ii |
open the advertising pages OF a maya
zine that face will be the first thing to
meet my eye. On the street am always
seeing it on the billboards or some ad-
vertising dodger.
You may say that this Is all very
easily explained by the fact Of The ad
vertisement being o very cc;lmon one
that everybody would be running
against. On the contrary it is rather Of
an uncommon one, but wherever it is
am sure to find it. | don't know what

From our Washington correspond
ent: In the recent adjustment some
postmasters were provokingly near to
the desired prize. One postmaster in
Massachusetts was able to show re-
ceipts within dollar of the required
amount. A near approach was made
by an Illinois postmaster, who had all
but 5 cents of the amount. Another
missed the hoped-for dignity by a
still narrower margin, as the receipts
of his office were within [ cent
of the amount. If it was possible for
these stamp-sellers to learn in time
the amount of their business, they
no doubt could buy one Or two stamps
themselves and bring up their aver
age, but unfortunately they cannot
arrive at the exact figures, and SO
they are aggravated by coming so
near and yet for all practical purposes
being so far away. Just now such a
situation is especially trying, for the
reason that if they get into the presi-
Dental class at the close Of this adj
ministration they would probably be
good for four years more of official
life. AS it is, the fourth-class post
masters are liable to have their offic-
ial heads chopped off as fast as the
incoming Democratic Assistant Post
