there wants wood to warm the royal seats.
acquaint your majesty third. that the balus-

SEDRo AND CoKEDALE

Children's day was observed in the
NJ. E. church on Sunday last. Part of
the program was rendered in the morn
ing and part in the evening. The chill
dren did well, and the teachers and SUI
perintendent deserve commentator
for the work they are doing. II. 5.
Jennings. the Sabbath school superin-
tendent at the mines, brought his Sun
day school down in the morning.
They have quite fine looking school
of children, and seemed to greatly en-
joy the day.

Il. 5. Jennings met his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Ball, at the Seattle train on
Tuesday Mrs. Ball is a Pennsylvan.
ian, but thinks she will like young
Washington and expects to stay some
time with her daughter. She reports a
pleasant journey. She spent several
weeks on her way, visiting her younger
son, who has just completed medical
course and set up an office In Cincin-
natl. An older son, DR. Ball, of Mt.

Eating Raw DandeIions.

Who ever heard of a man eating raw dan
delions? There is at least one man in this
| city who can boast of doing it, when he sup
/ posed that no one was looking.
The man in question was on his way to
| the railroad station to go home, and also
was bringing home something which his
faithful wife had repeatedly told him not
to bring
On his way to the depot he stopped In at
one of the numerous meat markets on Lin
coin street TO order the Sunday dinner.
When about half way through the store
on his way out, he CHANGED to spy large
box full of dandelons, and he Immediately
walked over to them picked one up, looked
at it, smelled of it and put it in his mouth
and ate it.
He must have liked it, for he put his hand
into the box again and pulled up another
one and ate that
When the market man detected him, he
was putting away the greens as fast as ever
he could.
The market man was speechless; he did
not know what to make of it, but when he
got over his fright he went over to the man
and gently told him that he must stop eat
ing the dandeliOns unless he wanted to pay
for them, as there was quite large hole In
the box, which a little while before had
been filled with dandelions.
The man desisted and said that it was all
right, and as he walked out of the store he
was overheard to say, THAT was great
stuff"
What his feelings were an hour afterward
is known only to himself-BOston Herald.

How Oranges Are Sorted.

There are hundreds of orange groves in
Florida, each producing many thousand
boxes every season. The oranges are
shipped and sold according to size, and
there are usually four grades, called No. 1,
., 3, etc. To sort all these millions of Or
anges would be "a very long and tedious job
if it were done by hand, and they would be
imperfectly sorted, too, for one could not
judge by the eye alone exactly what the
size of the orange is, and many would go
into the wrong boxes
But to overcome all this difficulty the Or
ange growers uss simple device called an
orange sorter. II H. merely long, inclined
trough, with different sized holes cut in the
bottom. Under the holes are placed boxes
A basket OF oranges is brought in and
dumped into tine upper end of the trough,
which is just wide enough to allow them
to roll down in single file, one after another
As they run by the first hole, which is very
small, all the little ones drop through into
the box underneath The rest roll on and
in passing the second hole, which is one
fourth larger than the first, the next sized
ones drop through into another box, and so
on by two more holes, which leave only the
largest ones in the trough. These roll out
to the lower end and are caught in basket
placed there to catch them. All the men
have to do is to 80 around and put new
boxes in place when the old ones get full.

Feats of workmanship, such as cutting
through triangular bars of lead or carcasses
of sheep, are performed with special weap-
ons, and on this subject and that of sword
blows generally Mr.. Henderson, the well
known professor of swordsmanship and
for many years connected with Angeles
school of arms, has some interesting facts
to relate. Though no longer quite so young
as he was, he is still active and hearty, and
must have been III his prime very power
full man, weighing 100 pounds. He has in
his time at one stroke cut through two
sheep, one carcass inside the other, and in
similar manner through 29t inches of
solid lead.
A specially made cuirass, much thought
of at the time by the Duke of Cambridge,
when tested by the redoubtable Henderson
was cut clean through. Steel plates-six
to the inch-and ordinary pokers have been
severed at one blow by the same strong
arm. These exploits were all accomplished
with a sword made for him by the old firm
of Wilkinson. 1t is called "Excalibur'
and weighs but four pounds 1t is per
fectly plain, slightly curved, has a hilt
something like a naval cutlass and is tenn

If your shears squeak or bind while
you are using them, run your finger
thoughtfully down the side of your nose
and rub it over the inside of the blades,
and the scissors will generally work as
easily and noiselessly as any one could
desire There is always little oil col
lected in the corners on the outside Of
ones nostrils, and those who know it
can "oil up" squeaky shears without
trouble or without fear of making the
scissors greasy. Another simple way to
accomplish the same end is to draw the
blades Of the shears over the hair, on
which, when it is healthy, there is al
ways q little oil.-Writer.

There is no doubt that some of the
most brilliant planets. such as Venus and
Jupiter. are capable of casting distinct
shadows, as may be seen any fine even
ing in the tropics. Not long ago NJ. L.
Guiot observed that Jupiter threw dis
tinct shadow of his watch upon wall,
and that he was able to read newspa-
per by the light. NJ. Moye also finds that
Mars is able to cast shadow, but much
fainter one than Jupiter. He was also
able to count the number of words in a
newspaper placed in the light of the
planet entering by a window, but he
could not read them.-Exchange

ILLTRRAGY AND CRIME.

little effect in reducing tho amount Of
crime and vice in this country, and
they oven point to tho criminal roc

tho large number of crimes committed

SCHOOL systerns are practically per-
feet, and where every ono can got q
good education.
II we examine the criminal and po-
lice statistics, however, rs the United
States Commissioner Of Education,
WI Harris, has just done, We will
find that they make no such showing
az is pretended, but quite tho con-
trary. There are, of course, some
educated az we'll as iiliterate persons
arrested, but the difference in the
number of arrests OF these two
classes shows how great is the effect
of the schools in the elimination Of
crime. s..
The number OF prisoners centired
in seventeen States which have com.
plete statistics on this point-four-
teen of them Western or Middle
States-is 1858, and among these
the illiterates, in proportion to mum.
bers, contribute six times their quota.
The records in the towns chow an even
greater proportion of crime among
the ignorant and the illiterates, for
the whole country furnish to. each
thousand Of persons eight times as
many prisoners as those who can read
and write.
It is plain from these facts that our
schools have already greatly reduced
the amount Of crime, and that when
We shall have succeeded in getting rid
OF all illiteracy we will still further
reduce the number of criminals.-

 of these is great, and the chances are that before Mr. Gladstone dies they will ull be grouped and indcxed in his upright, little grabbed, but perfectly plain handwriting. A great many statelEsnts have been made about Mir. Gladstone's library, but here are the facts, which have never before been
