Testing Iron CASTINGS.


"Have you ever noticed" said q st.
Louisan yesterday, chose massive iron
pillars now standing erect in the base
ment of the new Planters House? Well,
did you ever stop to think of the i'm
mense weight they will be compelled to
support steadily for many, many years?
Oh, you have. But 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 81 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. 1t
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 400
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 of
failure brings the cast up to the stand

The Season of Shams.

This is the season of shams. Houses
are closing, but in how many of them
are there back rooms where the family
will live for the next two months and in
the fall tell OF social triumphs at Bar
Harbor or Newport. Then again, small
boarding houses in remote country towns
will be filed to overlooking by those
forced to economize, who upon their re-
turn to town will tell of their stay in
large and fashionable hotels, thinking
that their status depends upon making
others believe the fibs they tell. Why
can't every one be honest and come
right out with the truth? If you are not
going away, say so, and if You are and
you cannot spend your time and your
dollars at big caravansary, don't be
ashamed to say that you cannot afford
to summer at a s. a day hotel. You will
in the end be far more respected than if
you make up palpable falsehoods that
deceive no one.-Philadelphia Times.

Springer Oh the Committees.

Congressman Springer, in an in
terview on Tuesday. speaking in re-
gard to committee Craftsmanship
changes. says:
These numerous speculations
about change in the craftsmanship of
the house committees cannot have
any foundation in fact. | have Spea-
ker Crisp's word for it that he has not
discussed the matter with anyone,
consequently the newspaper gossip
on the subject must originate with
interested parties or their friends.
Besides, there is another element in
the matter that is lost sight of. No
more committees can be named until
we have adopted our rules. The
house has not yet decided what com
mittees it will authorize. 1t may
conclude to abolish some, to CONSOLE
date others, or to create new com
mittees, All this has to be decided
yet. Under the rule we have adopt
ed as to silver debate the committee
on rules cannot even bring the ques-
ton up, except by unanimous con
sent, until we have disposed of the
silver question. Even if the com
mittee got unanimous consent to re-
port set of proposed rules it is ut
terly unlikely those rules could be
adopted witout debate. SO you see
we cannot reach the committee ques-
ton until Aug. %. OF course, Spea-
ker Crisp is giving the matter some
preliminary consideration in the
meantime. But he is keeping his
own counsel; am sure of that"

In British Honduras.

British Honduras is crown colony,
and of its 10000 population there are
about 800 whites, mainly English. There
is an American colony of about 20 people
at Toledo engaged in sugar growing and
rum making. They are mainly from
Kentucky, and it is prosperous colony.
The country is healthful for tropical
country, and there has not been 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, 600 punches of ba-
nanas to New Orleans. The great prob
lem with US is labor, ard we import ma
tives from the West Indies
We need immigration, and Sir Alfred
Maloney, the governor. is a very pro-
gressive man and is doing much to bring
us to the notice of the world. We have
no railroads beyond 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 So in American money is
equal to $500 of the money i'll use.-In-

YOUR HEARING.
Is it Gradually Growing Duller?-
Catarrh Causes it-Stop
it Now.

Mr.. Peterson's case illustrates the
danger of allowing these troubles to
run on, and should be carefully read
by everyone.
A very large per cent of these cases
of deafness and roaring noises is due
to the extension of catarrh to the
eustachian tubes and inner ears
Many of the most remarkable cures
that have been accomplished by the
physicians of the Scott Medical In
stitute have been in the restoration
of hearing lost or dulled from ca
tarrhal extension. 1t is folly to wait
for a trouble like this to get well it
self. 1t don't get well, but always
gets worse, until frequently the hear
ing is entirely destroyed. A thor
ough course of treatment with a ca
pable specialist, who goes right at
the cause of the trouble and removes
it, is the only hope.
DR.. Wilson and his medical asso-
ciates cure all cases of deafness
caused by catarrh.

A N istaken Trim,

During the recent slump in all the in
dustrial stocks two young statesmen Of
Boston were talking of the enormous
shrinkages. One of them had made
some money in buying and selling the
stock of the sugar company, and he said
to the friend, Buy sugar; it is cheap,
and l think you II make some money on
it." Acting on his advice, his friend
purchased several dozen barrels of
sugar and is holding it for rise.-Shoe

Cables Future.

Lincola Times.
Shelby NJ. Cullom's term as United
States senator from Illinois will eX-
pire March 4, 1895. The election of
his successor is already attracting
the attention of politicians through
out the state, the greatest stir being
in democratic circles, inasmuch as
ii is practically assured that Senator
Palmer's colleague after that date
will be n democrat. The names of
many prominent in democratic coun-
ellis have been mentioned in connec-
ton with the senatorial toga, none
probably being received with great
er favor than that of Hon. Ben r.
Cable, of Rock Island, to whom as
manager of the western headquarters
of the national democratic commit
tee, is largely due the splendid vic
tories won in the great northwest in
1892. A man of brilliant attain
ments, an effective speaker in full
harmony with his party on the ques-
tions of the day, and unidentified
with any state factions, the Times
regards him at this time, as being
especially available to lead in the
senatorial contest of '94.

DelaNrare's Finances.

Little Delawares state finances are in
thoroughly thrifty condition, her as
sets exceeding her liabilities by nearly
5000, 900. Her debt could be entirely
wiped out at once but for the fact that
some long term bonds cannot be advan-
tageously called in. The state many
years ago chartered several farmers
banks, all of which are now prosperous,
and in these the state has considerable
capital invested. The par value of the
states holdings in bank stock is just
short of $500, 200, and the market value
is trifle over S475,O00. The state ex-
penses, not including school appropria-
tions, fall little short of $2OO, 900 per
year.-New York Sun.

A Duel With Eansom Cabs.


There have been duels with pistols and
with broadswords and with pike slaves
and with stilettos and with tarantulas
and with bucking bronchos, but it has
remained for Willie Wilde and the Mar
quis de Leuvil lie to fight duel with han
som cabs and cab horses. This is the only
reasonable explanation of the lamenta-
bic incident upon the streets of London
Friday. These two men have been more
or less intimate with well known wom-
an. One of them, in fact, has been her
husband for n few months. Their re-
lations to each other became so strained
that honor demanded that blood should
be shed. So the duel was arranged. To
avoid police interference hanson cabs
were selected, and each man was to ride
in the cab selected by the other.
The marquis entered Willie's cab, and
so wisely had the kinsman of the sun
flower prophet chosen that his rival was
soon thrown to the pavement. The
stones broke the bridge of his nose, and
the horse kicked him in the side and
broke one OF his ribs. Willie escaped I'M
harmed. This incident illustrates again
the ingenuity Of the English. Duels in
France never end except with the best
feeling on both sides. There is no desire
to hurt any one. If we must have duels.
let us follow the example of the Pari-
slams. The hanson cab is too dangerous
and cratic weapon to be handled care
lessly.-Brookly Eagle.
