of the Wilson variety is considerably
abating.
The Portland daily press., 1893-12-14

The tariff reformers seem to be apply
ing their brains to the knotty prob
lem of making up deficit of $40, 900, 900,

the Wilson bill. AS yet their brains have
proved entirely unequal to the task.

A story Aeeut Tin Foil.

Some years ago = fobacconist discov-
ered the utility of tin foil for wrapping
chewing tobaccos. Heretofore paper
had been exclusively used for the pur-
pose, .sIt it did not serve to keep the
moisture OF the atmosphere away from
the tobacco nor preserve the natural
moisture of the tobacco from the effects
of dry or heated atmosphere. Paper
also absorbed the aroma of the weed and
was not sufficiently lasting. Therefore
tin foil was used for wrappers. But it
became costly and could only be rolled
to a certain thickness or thinness be-
yond which the ingenuity of man seemed
to find it impossible to so. The fact was
that no rollers could be made to sustain
the pressure necessary TO mashing the
tin foil to leaf 5 hiciently thin to suit
the manufacturer.
Many ingenious inventors struggled
with the proposition for months and
gave up the problem as unsolvable,
when a simple workman about the shop
one day, after rolling two sheets to the
customary thinness, put the two sheets
together into the rollers and made both
halves as thin as one was before. This
was as simple as standing an egg on end,
but it created a revolution in the manu-
facture of TN foil for tobaccouists' use
and made mint of money for the boss
of the discoverer. The man had struck
upon the idea Ly accident, but the dis
covery was as great and as profitable as
if he had been great inventor and
spent years of his valuable life over the
Question.-BoSton Herald.

The Authorization of geological.

The tendency among English people to
clip long words into short ones, or even
into monosyllables, Is notorious. Thus
''cabriolet" has become cab. omnibus"
bus and so ON. But the change of 200
logical into zoo is, to any one who knows
the origin of the word, the most exas-
Perating of all, and yet we now meet
with ZOO" in well written journals, and
/ see the word is being advertised as the
title of book.
There is another variation, which comes
simply from bad pronunciation, as when
a cockney holiday maker tells you he
has been to the ''slogical" If ''zoolog-
ical' is to undergo a shortening, like that
which has bafallen omnibus" and cab
riolet," let it at least become 20. This
would be correct as far as it went and
would not be so excruciating as the de-
testable zoo.-Cor. Notes and Queries.

Out of the great excitement of the war
grew fantastic gayety, wild sort OF
Carmasnole frenzy. Society did strange
things. Women would dance the german
at fashionable New York party with
their hair hanging in long streamers down
their backs, while the young men would
seize those beautiful tresses for reins
and drive the fair women with imitation
whips Everybody was half mad. And
after the war was over these women, to
whom philanthropy had become a bust
ness, found it hard to return to the COM
mon everyday work of life So Mrs. S.
NJ. K. Barlow, one of the best and no.
blest of human beings, suggested that
we should help the south. We went to
work again at the dramatic committee
and invoked Mr.. Wallack. Mr.. jerome
lent US the theater, and we really did
some very good works, producing plays
which were not stumbled through, but
had some resemblance to the real thing.
The money we made we sent to the cler-
gymen of the south, who wrote of indi-
vidual cases of distress. 1t was our
pleasure to save the lives of sick chill
dren who needed more delicate food than
their poor mothers could otherwise have
procured. We used TO receive most touch
ing letters. Thus was the first effort at
reconstruction attempted ind carried
through successfully. We tried to fol-
low Grant at AppomattoX and to be
worthy of the last words of Lincoln
