Among the recent mechanical con-
structions of note is triple pillar saw
frame, conveniently designed to occupy
q space not much wider than an ordina-
~ vertical log frame. In carrying out
this plan the cross girder, which carries
the saw frame and the crank shaft bear
ings, is in one piece, the whole being
supported on three turned pillars, on
which by means Of screws connected by
suitable gearing they are raised and
lowered together. In order to limit the
distance between the pillars as much as
possible, the connecting rod is attached
to the saw frame that is farthest from
the crank shaft. There is bell crank
and fywheel at each end of the crank
shaft, which enable the machine to work
steadily at high speeds without excessive
vibration. New York Sun.

ELECTIONS IN CORSICA.

The Loss of a Life or Two Apparently Not
of Much Account.
The elections for the council general
were going on all over the island of Cor
sica. The canton of Soccia comprises
several villages, among others Guagno,
noted for its famous mineral springs
and also for the turbulence of its people.
The elections took place in each village,
and on the morrow the, presidents of the
several bureaus were to meet at Soccia
for the formal declaration of the poll.
In consequence of certain disorders that
had already occurred, the mayor of Soc
cia issued an edict to the effect that none
Of the inhabitants of Guagno was to en-
ter the village that day.
Ths inhabitants of Guagno chose to
ignore this order, and go of them, all
armed, and all angry that their candi-
date had been defeated, marched upon
Soccia, headed by their mayor. Two
gendarmes-not armed-had been placed
at the entrance of the village and warned
the advancing troops that they were to
come no farther The mayor of Guagno
cried "Firep There was a general vol
ley from his followers, and the two gen.
darmes fell dead. "They both bore ex-
cellent characters. One of them had been
"a years in the service, had been proposed
for the military medal and leaves q wife
and three children"
Such was the first account in the daily
paper of Bastia. 1t occupied about seven
inches of one column. The next day the
editor had had time to reflect Tor he, too,
may possibly have had significant
warning), for in an article three inches
long the account was somewhat quail
fed, and there was this important emen-
dation, sit seems we were not correct in
stating that it was the mayor of Guagno
who gave the order to fire upon the gen
darmes."
The third day there were just two
lines, SIN consequence of the unfortu-
nate affair at Soccia it is probable that
the mayor of Guagno will send in his
resignation" That was all. took in

end, but there was nothing moro-ap-
parently no inquiry, no prosecution of

road. although hut epJ miles iony. has
st about S50.Oo0.00p. and it was

Meiggs the story of whose extra

Its construction was stopped by the
ruin of Peru in the Chilean war, and
it has finally been completed through
the efforts of Michael Grace. brother
of eS-Mayor Grace. of New York. who
succeeded in ''financeering the enter

The opening of tbs railroad is CON

gineering this road is perhaps the
nest wonderful on record.

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE.
Ted By the Psyehical Research Society
Secretary to Unitartans.

Teid By the Psyehical Research Society
Secretary to Unitarians.
Ernest Allen,sccretary of the society
Of Psychical Research, related some
queer incidents before the Unitarian
ministers of Boston.
One experience of his own was quite
interesting. A friend of his died. and
the widow was about to dispose of the
household furnishings when one day.
little moro than a week from tho
date of the death, the speaker on en-
tering his own room felt distinctly the
presence of the dead friend. 1t then
came into his mind that he should write
to the widow and tell her not to sell the
furniture because another friend would
come on from the West and arrange
matters more satisfactorily.
To convince himself, if possible, that
this vas not a Authorization but q
bona fide communication from his
dead friend, he Immediately visited
two ladies who live near him. one of
whom is a medium, and without the
slightest suggestion from him of the
allure Of his visit this lady informed
him that the spirit of the doctor. the
dead friend, was present. He there
fore wrote to the widow, as he had
been moved to do. and later on he
learned that the Western friend had
come on without the intervention of
any one and had succeeded in getting
the furniture de iler of whom the goods
were bought to exchange the pieces
which had so many unhappy associa-
tons for the widow for other articles
be changed TO another Held.
A good time to change stock from
one pasture to another is just after
a shower. As the falling rain will
have tendency to wash Off the dust
and dirt en- the leaves and stems of
the grass. and make them cleaner
and more palatable. The objection
to allowing cattle and sheep to pas
ture together is that the sheep eat
the grass SO close that the cattle can
not get their share. But this cannot
always be done without considerable
fencing; and this. of course. adds to
the expense of keeping up the farm.
But it is quite an item to make the
most out of the pastures. and at the
same time If the pasture is good
one it will pay to manage SO Is to
keep it in as good condition as pos
sible. Where q full number Of stock
IL kept to consume the farm prod
ucts to the best advantage. it will
pay to grow some crops that can be
used. If needed. at any time the pas
lures get short. By having the pas
ture divided. and taking pains to
manage carefully. a large amount Of
feed can be readily secured. AID at
the same time the stock be kept in
better condition.

A New Market Opened for
American Farmers.
Tons of Forage Now Being
Shipped From America
to Europe.
Good Prices Are Paid and the
Business Promises to Be
aProfitabIe One for
American Farms.

New YORK, July 1.-THE World
says the farmers throughout the coun-
try have been tumbling over each
other during the past few months, to
get hay which they have held over
from last season, into this and other
cities for export to Europe. The oc-
casions when American farmers have
been called upon to supply foreign
countries with hay, haze been so rare,
that this year will prove a phenome-
nal one in the lives ofthe grangers. A
representative Of the big commission
house of Williams and Eckerson SAYS,
that judging by the way American
farmers are striving to supply the for
eign demand for hay, Europe will
soon have all she needs.
"All the hay in the market" he
said, sis last years crop. None of this
years hay has come in yet. The i'm
mense quantities coming in show how
the farmers have been hanging ON to
it. The market men who have never
heretofore paid much attention to hay
are buying it in this city from SIT
to $50 a ton and sending it abroad.
We have been getting $50 a ton for
it abroad and the persons to whom it
is consigned pay the freight. which is
about SO ton. This makes
the hay cost them $40. a ton.
By the time the consumer gets it, it
must reach the high price of $50,
per ton. The cause Of the scarcity
of the foreign crop of fodder is said to
have been the dry weather of last
year. The same conditions of affairs
exists this year. Still in this country
no scarcity of forage is threatened.
and the yield this year promises
enough to supply every demand made
upon US"

Emerson was very weary writing
wind for the republican paper of Sc
dalia.
His first article i'm Sedalia was
poetry.
The last article he put on paper was
"A Fable"
F. F. Emerson is a polished gentle
man, an honest man and his word is
worth Sill to every dollar.
When the final day comes Emerson
will not need a linen duster and lake
ice to make his quarters comfortable.
He regretted leaving Sedalia, but
it was ground hog case. He could
not write longer for a paper that had
lost its usefulness.
The people of Sedalia and The
BAzoO have none but good words for
Parson Emerson and his.
May their lot be cast IN pleasant
places.
The Parson, he could preach and pray
And cut the proper caper,
But he gave himself clean dead away
When he tried to run a paper.
He packed his bag and baggage, too,
And took his family. all,
And left the other Parson "blue"
To hold the waterfall.
Farewell. good Parson, here's tear;
Our hand we outward reach;
And let us whisper in your ear
You'd better pray and preach
Ethan tackle in the woOlly West
A job for wealth and fame;
Stick to your text and pulpit, tco,
And you'll get there just the same"

PARSON EMERSON.
He Bids Adieu to The SedaIia

ency in Missouri.
Few Words Said More in Scr.
row Lessin Anger, Some
Pity and Heap in

Parson Emerson late of the Gasett,

Parson Emerson late of the Gazette,
has gone.
He came with the ides of Novem-
Der with his Overcoat on.
He left in July perspiring and with
not enough clothes on to flag freight
train on an up grade.
His newspaper venture has not
been a bowling success.
Mr.. Emerson came with a flourish
of trumpets as great and good writer
in the journalistic field.
He is good writer.
He knows what he is writing about,
always, but as rule he did not know
when he had reached the end of his
subject.
Besides this he wrote the English
language in every sentence he put in
print.
The BAZoo is sorry to part with
Emerson, for we think Sedalia has
been better tor his being here.
Emerson is preacher.
One who has been the conductor of
a public journal for more than one
third of a century, wants to advise
him a little.
Stick to the pulpit.
Stay by your text.
Hang on to expounding the bible.
1t is Il good book.
Moses was an editor.
He never wrote any for the Sedalia
papers, and Emerson did.
Moses did not deal with the steering
committee and Emerson did.
Preachers have not harvested much
fame as editors in Sedalia.
DR.. A. Y. Hullwas the first preach
er to publish paper in Sedalia.
He was caught trying to steal a jack
pot with bob-tailed flush. That
cooked his goose but he did not preach
any more.
Cephas \. Leach was full fiedged
preacher just from the Holy Land
where he had snapped kniveswith the
natives, then he commenced to pub
|lish the SedalIa Tines.
The paper was seven years dying,
hut it died of too much preacher. He
ended his days swapping horses. He
put $40, 900 into the dying paper.
A. preacher named Kelly publish ell
the Sedalia Sentinel short time. He
id not hang on long. He got out and
yent to preaching again and Is at
q; now.
Then Parsons Emerson and Hall
took the Gasette last November.
They have it vet.
Emerson could not sell his stock in
the Gasett, and he left Friday evening
July II, 1898 to return to the pulpit
where he will point the way for sin
Icrs to a better lite.
He should have taken Hai. with
lin as horrible example of in
sorligibility.
Parson Emers will 60 to Boston
and put out a sign:
