re..,pr Iron ca.,,n~..

Have you ever noticed" said St Louisan yesterday, "those massive iron pillars now standing erect in the base ment of the new Planters Houses We'll, did you ever stop to think of the inn mense weight they will be compelled to support steadily for many, many years? Oh, you have. But l suppose you have thought the manufacturer just made those pillars and sold them without Knowing anything about how much weight they would bear or how long they would bear it. Let me tell you about that.
 "Those pillars are cast in the same manner as cast iron stoves-by running the liquid metal into sand molds, but alonside of each pillar is cast an iron bar from the same metal. The bar is pre- cisely an inch square and 5t feet in length. When cold. it is subjected to a very simple test. Each end of the bar is placed upon a table and weights are suspended from the center by a rope. It must bear tensile strength of 500 pounds to the square inch. The test may begin with 400 pounds and be gradually increased until the bar is found to be perfectly supporting the required weight. If it breaks, for instance, at 4S0 or 49O pounds, then the pillar cast from the pot of metal which cast the bar is discarded, broken up and put into the pot again, with more pig iron added. The pillars, you know, are largely made from scrap iron, and the manufacturers cannot know the strength of the cast until it is tested, The addition of pig iron in the event oi failure brings the cast up to the stand ard."-St. Louis Republic.

They Had Never Seen Roses.

Two ladies, managers, came into Q school the other morning shortly after it had opened. One of them wore beau- tiful jacqueminot rose, on which the eyes of the whole school were at once turned admiringly. Noting this, the owner of the flower gave it to one of the teachers for the children.
 "Now, children, how many of you know what this is?" asked the young lady, holding up the flower. Nearly ev- cry little one shook his head to indicate ignorance.
 One small boy and couple of little girls piped out with great importance:
 Its posie, please, ma'am."
 But no one had ever heard of rose. Most of the children had never seen one before. The flower was passed along and small noses fingered longingly over its fragrance, while dirty little palms patted its velvet petals caressingly. No one saw or thought of anything that morning but the rose. The teacher put it in glass of water to preserve it, and when school was dismissed each child was rendered supremely blissful by the gift of tiny petal. As they filed out of the door each little waif clutched his treasure tightly in his small hand, while he murmured softly to himself the name, ''Pitty wose, pity wose."-Pittsbure | Chronicle

Lord Derby and MT. t.Indstnne.

We have lost a great intelligence in Lord Derby-a great intelligence, per haps, rather than great intellect. For we fancy there is slight difference of signifcation between the two. For ex- ample, it would be hard to imagine minds more different in their constitu- ton than Lord Derby's and Mir. Glad stones. Lord Derby's pure intelligence was in many respects much the wider of the two. He saw with much moro impartial vision both what was not to his mind and what was, but the result was that he often, especially in early life, rather chilled than attracted the sympathy of those whom he ad- dressed. His light was elninently dry light, cold ight-almost at times bleak light. He seemed to say, This is my view, and so far as l can judge the complete view, but if you cannot follow me that is no business of mine, and I am quite indifferent whether you agree with me or not.
 MT. Gladstones attitude of mind is al- most as unlike as it can be. He seldom gives the impression of any detachment at all. He is eager, vehement, playful. persuasive, sympathetic, in the highest sense impressive. He is nothing less than impartial on any subject into which he enters with his whole mind. but he makes you forget this i'll the charm ui his invitation to agree with him. Lord Derby's argumentativc shots were what are technically termed "chillcd shots as compared with MT. Gladstone's- II those shots did their work, they did il with a certain ostentatious frigidity q; to the effect.-London Spectator.

He Was a Nobleman by Nature.

Don't tell me now that men are callous and selfish when the woman is an old one, for won't believe it.
 We were hurrying to catch the ele- vated train when a poor old Irish woman stopped, and directly in the way of all other would be passengers endeavored to readjust a strap that had slipped from the package she was carrying.
 Her hands were cold, and she seemed unable to loosen the buckle, when good looking man came up and seeing her diff ficulty laid his own packages down on the platform while he asked:

 Of course time and tide" and ele- vated trains wait for no man, and we rolled away from the station just as he had completed his self imposed task.
 We saw him pick up his bundles and walk toward the waiting room to get warm-for the wind was cold-never seeming to regret the train he had missed for doing q kindness for 'some ones mother!'

AnAdi.otirs That plensoh.

There is a mode of speech which may be termed euphemistic by those who are fond of ''calling spade spade, but is it not rather the natural expression of the charity which never faileth? To say the best of others is a manifest duty, and to do it in the prettiest language en- hances it wonderfully. And where de- fleets exist that are commented on by the unfortunate possessor in that i'll judged fashion which attempts to as sume indifference to the imperfections how deftly may the confidante turn the current of self depreciation into smooth CT channel by Ca nice Arrangement of epitaphs." A young girl bewailed her thinness in the hearing of a man of tact. who instantly exclaimed: eThinl Why, you are etherealr'
 Possibly no sermon that this courtly clergyman ever preached was more i'm. mediately productive of good results than his well chosen adjective.

In British Honduras.

British Honduras is crown colony, and of its So,000 population there are about 300 whites, mainly English. There is an American colony of about 20people at Toledo engaged in sugar growing and rum making. They are mainly from Kentucky. and it is prosperous colony. The country is healthful for a tropical country, and there has not been a case of yellow fever in several years. The prin- cipal product is mahogany, and it will be years before the forests are exhausted. Great quantities of logwood are also shipped to Europe. We ship only ba- nanas and plantains to the United States, shipping last year 72S, 900 punches of ba- nanas to New Orleans. The great prob lem with us is labor, and we import na- tives from the West Indies.
 We need immigration, and Sir Alfred Maloney, the governor, is very pro gressive man and is doing much to bring us to the notice of the world. We have no railroads beyond a tramway drawn by mules. penetrating the plantations for about six miles. There is not tele- graph instrument or line in the province and only short telephone line between government buildings. We have no money of our own, but use the silver of surrounding republics, which is so de preciated that $5 in American money is equal to $S.60 of the money in use.-In- terview in Washington Star.

On the occasion of my wedding sur prised Prudence with Q number of ar ticles of jewelry had caused to be made in London. On bracelet had beau tifully engraved representation of the Mayhower and the landing of the pill grims. Then other articles were adorned with the mayfiower of old England (the hawthorn blossom), and the blossom of the trailing arbutus. the mayflower of New England, composed of suitable precious stones.
 think the placing of the mayfiower in some shape on every article of jewel " that gave Prudence had its effect upon the Bradford of all the Bradfords, as he warmed to me wonderfully after the wedding. One day when he had been particularly good I gave him one of the silver gilt buttons taken from the grave of my great-great-grandfather. He said it was "a thing of vanity" yet his eyes sparkled as he took it.

 Not since Lizzie Borden left her old home has she been near it. Mrs Churchill and Miss Russell, her old time friends, still live in the vicinity, but she never visits them. She is practically ostraciZed, and when she appears on the streets she attracts no espe- cial attention. She goes to church, but not regularly. Her presence is not welcomed by more than half her church friends, and after her occasional appearances it is not uncommon to hear many bitter statements regarding her She has not taken up the church work she dropped many months ago, but one of her very few iGtimateS re- gently said that she had expressed wish that she might De enabled to enter into some of the work she used to do before her pathway in life was darkened."

Her re ception room and parlor will compare fa- vorably with those of any refined young woman, and the domestic facilities are as good as can be procured anywhere.

Sudden Reaction Sometimes Comes When

 There must be something wrong with a man who deliberately takes his own life He seldom acts or thinks as in his sane mo mentS. Sometimes the near approach of death, indicated by the preparations which he makes, recalls him to himself, and he does not carry out his purpose A woman occasionally grows desperate and jumps into the river. The sudden shock of the cold water startIes her, and involuntarily she calls for help, and when she is rescued she weeps piteously and says that she will never do so again. Men with no inventive skill have devised peculiar and complicated ways for taking their life.
 One of the most curious incidents of this kind happened in Chicago and is told in the Brooklyn Eagle. 4 man grew Respondent and wanted to die. Just why any man should want to leave that city for another world is what no healthy Chicagoan can understand. He took poison. Then he went into a bathroom and suspended a sharp sword over the tub so that it would fall upon his neck when he got in the tub and cut the cord. He had n heavy weight at- tached to the sword. He lighted q candle and put it in such a position that, after burning part of its length, the blaze would reach the cord and burn it so that the sword WOulu luAl. ntll likuNttl u CllAECONAk and stopped all the cracks and crevices about the door, so that none of the gas might es cape. When all these preparations were complete. he got in the bathtub with his face downward and turned on the water. He was going to die by poison, by drowning, by asphy xiation and by an improvised gull, lotine. He had not been in the tub many seconds before he began to think of all the horrors which he had prepared for himself, and he rushed out of the room with his hair standing on end and took an emetiC to get rid of the poiscu He was successful.
 After combing down his bristling lcckz and dressing himself he wrote a descrip tion of the sensations which he experienced from the time he began his preparations for death till he became assured that the emetic was working. He sold his article to Chicago newspaper for enough money to pay bis Loard bill. and he !s alive tO this Jay.
 Suicides lack both moral and physical courage. They dread the suffering of a painful death, and they fear to face life When they die, they choose the most pain less method with which they arc familiar Sometimes in their ignorance they select poisons which torture, and they die in ter rible agony after repenting Of tLeir act

 No sooner were our ancestors safely deposited in their respective vaults than my father inclosed his burial lot with a fine iron fence and set up a num- Der of huge stone vases to contain hang ing vines. To these he from time to time added such other ornaments and improvements as were suggested by Rev. Nantucket Sperm, Captain Shrimp and others. These works occupied his days, and his nights were given to the study of the genealogy.
 Rev. Walter Mowbray created so favor able an impression that he was invited to become the pastor of n church in the neighboring village of Weenipsit. AS he had now become reimbued with the spirit of the true and earnest Christian soldier and teacher, he felt it his duty to make a full and humble confession to the bishop in authority and beg to be rein stated. In this my father and I lent our assistance, and the story of Jepson was made known to only a few discreet persons. In his preaching he is said to be. doing good work. The pictures he draws in his warnings to young men are so realistic that his hearers wonder how the good old man is able to so faithfully portray the many evils of this wicked

Cheerful Even In Death.

At n dinner some time ago jolly old astronomer related the following story about departed friend, Mir. F.:
 Mir. F. was such a good natured man that the approach of death itself could not disturb his peace of mind and ap- preciation of humor. He lay dying, and his poor wife was nearly worn out with anxious watching. She was so tired that by mistake she gave her husband instead of the doctors medicine dose from the castor oil bottle. When she discovered her mistake, she was almost frantic. She summoned the doctor at once and await ed his coming with fearful eyes and bit ter self reproach. The doctor came and assured Ter that no particular harm could have been done; that her hus- band was dying, and medicine could not save him now. Still the poor woman wept and grieved.
 The doctor tried to comfort her, but to no purpose. If she had only given the medicine and not the oil, perhaps her dear husband might ha-e got better. She had killed her dear Eusband-killgd her dear husband. The doctor began to argue, when the dying man spoke up: Never mind, doctor. I've had my oil Let her have her blubber. er."-WasiiHg ton News.
