Dutch Simplicity.

Rempen, a town in Holland, on the
Lower Rhine (the birthplace OF Thomas
a Kempis), is a favorite residence OF peo-
pie with small incomes. The Imagination
of these Dutchmen must be as limited as
their incomes, judging from the droll
stories that are old OF them.
At one time a fire broke out, and much
damage was done because the engines
were out Of repair. The council met, and
after much argument, it was voted that
on the eve preceding every fire the town
officers should carefully examine the en-
gines, pumps, &c.
One of the greatest pr offs OF the town
was the toll exacted at the gates. The
council wished to increase the income,
and instead of increasing the toll, it
voted to double the number OF gates.
This same council also ordered the sun
dial to be taken from the court house
common and placed under cover, where
il would be protected from the weather.
But OF all the queer things that are told
OF Kempen and its people nothing is so
absurd as this: Grass grew on the top OF
a very high tower, and the only way
these droll Dutchmen could think OF TO
get IL OF was to hoist a cow up and let
her eat wallpapers Young People.

Funeral Of James Addison and SON. who
HA%vERHILL, Mass, Feb. 2.-The funeral
OF James Addison and his son, William
Addison, victims of Tuesday mornings
fire, took place from the Second Congre-
g%ational Church, West Newbury, at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, under the
auspices OF Mayor Boyd Post, @. A. r.
The services were conducted by Rev. +. b.
Noyes, after which the Grand Army bur-
ial rites w, conducted by Col. T.. p.
Stanwood. The services were very inn
pressive.
There is a strong suspicion that the fire
was OF incendiary origin, and it is proba-
BILE that an investigation will be made.
The fire occurred at 3.45 o'clock Tuesday
morning, and about II O'Clock the previ-
Gus night two men in a pung we're seen
by a person living in the vicinity, driving
slowly along the road and acting queerly.
One of the men got ont OF the pung and
walked by the Addison House as though
accommodating for some purpose. They
finally drove away, but who they were
and h they were there for AVE no
been found out. The general impression
is that the house was set on fire IN the
outside and at a point remote from where
the occupants were sleeping.
The position of the half-consumed re-
mains when found showed that the men
were trying to get out of the house by
way OF the front door. Addison had no
enemies so far as known, was a veteran of
The war and one of the best soldiers that
fought under the old flag.

Few Biographies mention the district
in the South known as the "Poor Mans
Belt" 1t is a tract OF country generally
very sandy and producing little timber
save the long-leafed pine. IT begins not
far south OF Richmond, Va, and extends
along the Atlantic and gulf coasts into
Texas. Its length is about 1,sCO miles,
while IL is from 90 to 100 miles in width.
The soil is poor, but the forests produce
not only lumber in abundance, but also
large quantities OF pitch, tar and turpen-
tine. 1t got a bad name during slavery
days because no cotton was raised in 1t,
but. since the South is beginning to look
elsewhere than to the cotton field for It's
wealth, the poor Mans Belt promises
to become one of the richest parts OF the
Southern States.-St. Louis Globe Demo-

American Machinery,

A study OF manufacturing on both side
of the Atlantic has suggested the belle
that the United States can occupy ex-
clusively the markets of the world with
her constructive manufactures il free to
do so. Who car compete with US in sew
ing machines, in agricultural imp,e-
ments, in small machine tools, in shoe
machinery, in hat machinery, in print
ing presses and appliances, in steam en-
gines, in wood working machinery, IN
furniture and in all the Industrial art
that have attracted the attention Of our
people?
In these things this could, il permitte
by equal terms, at this moment destrc
by competition the like arts of eve
other country in the world. She couiC
invade the markets of the countries en-
ploying the cheapest labor and sell all
goods cheaper than those produced on
the spot. Hence Americans need have no
fear OF cheap labor or OF goods produced
by hand, but they may enter with conf
dence any free market in any civilized
country and place distinctive American
products Of distinctively American quail
ity at paying prices and sell rapidly.
American customers are the most critical
and demand the best goods made, and il
such goods satisfy the market here they
will have a sale anywhere that they may
be made known and offered at reasonable
prices.-Engineering Magazine.

HOW THEY MAKE BOGUS JEWELS.
The Methods by which Precious stones
are Initiated.

are Inflated.
In manufacturing glass for limitations
OF precious stones the processes employed
have to be conducted with the utmost
nicely. For making even the best MR.
rors the necessary silica is obtained from
ordinary white quartz, while common
window panes are produced from sea
sand to a large extent; but in this case
rock crystal is substituted, composing
about 80 per cent. OF the ingredients OF
the paste. To il must be added Is per
.cent. OF carbonate OF soda and due pro-
portions OF calcined borax, saltpetre end
red lead. All OF these things are reduced
to the finest powder, mixed, fused to-
gether by heat in a crucib.e and cooled
slowly.
Thus made, IL Is all ready to be cut up
into diamonds and prepared for market.
Surprising that he wants rubies, he fuses
with paste a small quantity OF peroxide
of and q trace Of Cassius pur-
pie, which will give the proper color.
For emeralds he employs in like manner
oxide of iron, and for sapphires oxide OF
cobalt. Topaz is easily formed in the
crucible by mixing with 1000 parts Of
paste, forty parts Of glass OF antimony
and one part of Cassius purple.
For manufacturing other kinds OF gems
there are methods equally simple. OF
course none of these imitation precious
stones has the chemical constitution,
hardness, specific gravity or optical prop
critics of real ones. Accordingly, their
f~alseness is readily perceived by an ex-
pert. Inasmuch as the elements of which
various gems are composed are well
known, synthetic chemistry has at
tempted TO reproduce them by putting
the ingredients together and effect crys-
talization in the laboratory. In this
way large masses Of what might be
termed true ruby and sapphire are turned
out artificially, such gem-like materia
having some usefulness for industrial
purposes, although lacking the brilliancy

Progress I'm Burglary.

Burglary is a trade. 1t has its tricks,
its tools and it's ups and downs. 1t is a
trade which is continually changing and
improving. Methods OF nigh-clsss burg

are hardly known now. The thiets

has given way to safe cracking. Four or
five men, with a few sticks of dynamite,
rob a train nowadays as easily as twenty
men, armed to the teeth, did it a dozen
years ago. But in spite Of the change
the motto of all low-grsde crooks Is:
"The way to steal is TO steal" They
Ell brace every opportunity, and steal
whenever they can, often making a
bungling job and getting nipped. After
q few terms in the penitentiary, how
ever, they are no longer low grade
crooks, but have become educated profess

There they are taught all the improve

The senate of Pennsylvania has done
a most admirable thing. 1t has reported
favorably a bill to punish persons who
publish or procure publication of false
news. 1t is to be hoped the punishment
will be as severe as that inflicted for
grand larceny The newspaper CORE
spondent has the confidence of the public.
If he abuses that confidence by printing
lies as news matter, he is certainly guilty
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses and is as great a scoundrel as an
embezzler or any other kind Of swim
dler. It is just exactly time when lying
news reports and reporters should be
stopped Certainly rascally newspapers
themselves started this fraud and swan
into circulation on marvellous tales of
news that had little foundation in fact
or none at all, it made no difference to
them. They are responsible for the crop
of swindling reporters and correspond
ents that now infest the journalistic pro-
fession. Let the person who invents or
publishes lying news story be punished
precisely as a forger would be. He de-
serves it. Never fake news story"
