Pats Logic,

A gentleman who stood few mo.
ments at corner where large build
ing was in process Of erection overheard
some remarks made by an Irish work
man who evidently fancied himself a
logician of no mean order.
He was sturdy, good.natured look
ing man. but evidently enjoyed leaning
on his hod and commenting on what
passed around him, much better than
he did active work. The cry of mort,
mort, usually rang out several times
before he needed it.
Pat" said the foreman, severely,
coming upon the man at one of the
moments when he was "restin' bit, II
why don't you attend to your work
and keep that man going?"
"Shure, now," said Pat, shifting his
feet and turning o broad smile upon
the foreman, If I was to kape him
goin', he wouldn't have sorra thing to
say at all 4; an if he didn't say any
thing, how would know he was there?
An if he wasn't there, fwhat would he
be wantin' of morther, sorr 2"
And Pat marched of with his hod,
leaving the foreman not convinced, bu,
certainly confused. by this remarkable
exhibition Of the workings Of q logical
mind.

Vanadiun.


With the exception of platinum,
vanadium is the most valuable metal,
an ounce of it being worth nearly two
hundred dollars.
Vanadium is used in fixing or fasten-
ing dyes. A single grain of it will
fasten permanently an indefinite guam
tity of dyes of any color, so that they
can not be injured by water or exposure
to the sun.
1t is used by manufacturers of silks,
ribbons and other fine goods, one part
generally being sufficient to fasten five
Or six hundred parts. The metal was
discovered in Pennsylvania early in the
present century, but in quantities so
minute that very little notice was taken
of it except by collectors of mineralogi-
cal specimens.
Then about fifteen years ago, con-
siderable deposit was found in the in
terror of Mexico. The discoveries, not
knowing what it was, sent some speci-
mems to the celebrated Professor Ros-
coe, of the University of Edinburgh,
who identified it. and by chemical ex-
periments made known its usefulness.
AS the manufacturers of wearing APP
parel and other fabrics would be willing
to use million dollars worth of vana-
dunn annually if they could obtain it
at any reasonable cost, prospectors all
over the world commenced at once to
hunt for similar deposits, and Rus
sian mining engineer succeeded in find
ing one on the Siberian side of the Ural
Mountains
But the supply is so limited, and the
price so enormous, that it is only used
in dyeing the finest grades of silk, in
making indelible ink and for some
other purposes. Could it be brought
within the reach of cotton and woollen
manufacturers, both in quantity and in
price, fading colors would no longer be
excusable, and millions of dollars
worth of the metal might be sold every
year,

Cultivate Refinement.

Do not draw into your shell. So
much is to be gained by contact with
the outside world. The influence Of
the social current has the same effect
upon human nature as that produced
by the constant friction OF the sea upon
the pebbles on the beach. Rough COR
ners are polished and sharp angles are
smoothed down into symmetrical pro-
portions. But it is not enough to be
simply in the swim. Ono must, to be
happy, cultivate that society which ell
evates and ennobles. Seek relaxation
for mind and body among set of peo.
pie who hold broad views OF living.
Narrow minded men and women, and
the world is full of them, will only
give you distorted ideas of life, ideas
that will change the sunniest and most
healthful disposition into one moroso.
churlish and i'll patured. Be careful,
then, whom you choose for your CON-
panions.

Damn The Browns.

a small group of miners stood on
the river bank Monday forenoon dis
cusslng the situation of the river and
Ice. Some one remarking about the
Browns loss at Cincinnati, one of the
men said: Il wish the ice would cut
those three boats (poiutlng to the three
steamers moored oyer by Monga, }
boats to the waters edge"
Another: Eyes, and every id
tlpple belonging to them on the river"
Go slow, boys, go slow. That kind
of talk dishonors you it is of the same
sort which put the Homestead rioters
in Jail, and will leod others to the pen
itentiary. Don't talk that way; it
shows a bad heart You may be sui
fering a wrong. but the destruction of
property would not help you out of
any present trouble. Go slow, boys.

The Man Was Not Used to PerambulatinR
Footballs.
A lady with long train to her dress
was walking along the street when an
old colored man passing her stepped on
her train with both feet, tearing 1t
badly. The lady was very angry, and
had the old man arrested for being dis
orderly, says the Detroit Free Press.
What has the prisoner been guilty
Of" asked the Judge.
"He was disorderly, Your Honor"
"Who is the complaining witness?'
"Here, Your Honor" and lady was
brought forward and regularly sworn.
She told with much asperity how tLe
old man had stepped on the train Of
her dress, tearing it, and when he saw
the damage he had done, instead of
apologizing he tried to get away.
"Who represents the prisoner ?"
HE pleads his own case"
The old man was brought forward, u
mild hammered old fellow, wearing
spectacles, and looking the embodiment
of good natured dignity.

Georges Creek Coal at the Fair


AS it is impossible to secure the
space for full sized working mine on
the grounds, models of the different
methods of mining have been prepared
and will be exhibited, namely, models
of the machinery, ETC., used in mining.
These fac SMILES are accurate to the
minutest detail, and will be objects of
curiosity and interest to all To
illustrate such portions of the process
of mining of which models cannot be
made, splendid Photographic views Of
the interior and exterior of the mines
have been made, tlashlight being used
for taking the inside views, and the
fidelity of detail thus shown is very
gratifying. The depth of vein and
quality of coal will be shown by some
of the largest blocks of bituminour
coal ever mined, the Georges Creek
Coal and Iron company having cut a
column twelve feet nine inches high
and four feet square from their mines
at Homecoming, and the Consolidation
Coal company will be represented by a
handsome shaft thirteen feet ten inches
IN height and four feet wide. The
Maryland Coal company has promised
an exhibit of its coal vein, and | hope
the other companies will contribute
blocks of coal that will astonish people
not familiar with our resources.
These huge masses will be bound by
iron bands and shipped to the grounds,
when the bands will be removed and
the blocks arranged so as to make one
of the best displays Of bituminous
coal the world ever saw. In addition
to this, small cubes of the mineral will
be placed i'll the Maryland building
along with the working model referred
to.-IkOn. Ll0ud Lomndes.
