He first began to take an active in
terest in politics in 1924, identifying
himself with the anti Masonic party,
and was elected as its candidate for
the State Senate in 1880. In 1843
Mr.. Seward retired to private life
and employed the next few years in
literary work. He was chosen United
States Senator in lS49, and in that
body exercised strong and widely
felt influence. Mr.. Seward was
a candidate for the Presiden-
tial nomination by the Republican
party in 1860, and on the first ballot
received many more votes than did
Lincoln. Lincoln, upon his election,
appointed Mr.. Seward Secretary OF
State. In 1866 Mr.. Seward was
thrown from his carriage and his arm
was broken. While confined to his
bed President Lincoln was assassi n
ated, April IA, ana one Of the con-
spirators gaining access to Mr..
Stewards house attempted to kill him.
The Secretary was severely injured,
as was his son, Frederick, and his re-
covery was slow and painful. Mr..
Seward retired from office in 1869
and returned to Auburn. The re-
mainder of his life was devoted tC
travel, to literary work aud TO the de.
livery of speeches. He died Oct. TO-

How the Indian Prays.

prayer is the souls sincere desire,
unuttered or expressed" And the
manner of expressing desire may diff
fer widely. The Indian may be as
religious as is the Presbyterian, yet
he never kneelS when he prays He
never addresses the Deity by word Of
mouth at all. Yet he asks for the
blessings he needs, and asks for them
with as much faith and as much
reverence as does his whittier brother.
They want good corn crop, and
they gather handful OF green twigs
or grasses, bind them together with
a reverent faith that the Deity is.
willing and able to help them. They
lay the emblems or hang them in a
place where the sun will shine upon
them, and leave, assured that their
prayer has been heard. II may not
be answered. The corn may not
prosper right away, but they are in
no wise discoul aged They bind to-
gether another emblem and offer it
in another place. Some places have
particular favor. 1t is bel eyed the
Deity sees them place theta there
better than in some other place. 1t
is simply the Christian idea Of
sanctuary in another form.

TemDering Tools.

The following is the Swiss method
for hardening cast steel for cutting
tools. Mix in a suitable vessel four
parts of pulverized resin and two
parts of train oil. Stir we'll in this
one part of hot tallow. Into this
mixture the article to be hardened
is plunged at a low red heat, and
held there until thoroughly cooled.
Without cleaning off, the piece is
again put into the fire and suitably
tempered in the ordinary way. An
examination of steel thus hardened
indicates that the hardening is deeper
and more uniformly distributed than
is commonly the case, and that the
steel is much less brittle.

One day friend left his green
parrot in Gautier's charge during his

The poor bird sat disconsolate on
the top of his stand, while the cat
stared at the strange sight.
Gautier followed her thought, and
read there clearly

Thereupon she jumped from his

head low, back stretched out at full

war. The cat lay still, but Gautier
read in her eyes

Suddenly her back was arched, and
with one superb bound, she was on
the perch when the parrot screamed

Pussy was almost frightened out of

SOME ABLE FINANcIERINe.


CHICAGO, Jan. 14-The worlds fair
committee on ways and means
will grant the Guide Book" conces-
sion. This will close one of the
most remarkable fnanciering periods
probably ever known in public affairs.
In ali seventy-fve concessions have
been grant ted by the committee. Not
less than 1000 applications for
concessions have been considered
and rejected Some of the rejected
schemes had mt 1T, but most of them
are classed undei the general term of
fakes" Many more were advertising
schemes, without the slightest interest
to visitors But one in twenty-five of
the projects brought before the com
nittee had any good reason for being
there.
In the estimates of resources from
franchises and concessions So, 500, 900
has been given as the net profit to the
fair. This is the estimate Ferd w.
Peck, chairman of the finance commit
tee, makes. Mr.. Peck undoubtedly
wishes to be on the safe side, and so
named the bottom figure. The opinion
was expressed that on the OASIS OF an
attendance of $4,000, 900 the fair is
likely to get from the concessionaires
nearer Sc, 900, 900 than So, 500, 600.
The committee on ways and means is
composed of first-class business men,
who have from start to finish defended
the fairs interests The veteran
schemers had more than met their
match when they came into the com
mittee room. Hard bargains were
driven by the committee.
These estimates have been made
either by the concessionaires or by
worlds fair people, who have worn
out many pencils before arriving at
satisfactory results. If they err it is
on the side of conservatism Their
grand total Is.
