Sympathy Appreciated.

I was a passenger on Fourth avenue
electric car an afternoon or SO ago, and in
the same car was a handsomely dressed and
very pretty and modest looking young wom-
an. She sat on the front seat and her pretty
face attracted the attention of two young
men who occupied seat in the middle of
the car. She gave evident signs of being
in considerable distress and now and then
would twitch with pain. When ut last she
stopped the car and started to alight, the
cause of her discomfort was evident. She
was wearing tight shoes.
my goodness" whispered one of the
young men to his companion as the girl
passed, hasn't that girl got ON tight shoes?"
'You bet haver' the girl responded in
lugubrious tone as she turned through the
door. The young man who made the re-
mark turned several different colors, while
the other passengers smiled audibly, realiz-
ing that the girls words had been the
thoughtless remark of one in pain and
longing for ympathy.-Louisville Courier

The Canada thistle, although rather
pretty blue flower, is as great pest as the
White rudbeckia, misnamed daisy. The
thistle when cut off in fair weather will
soon cap over and start at once from the
stub, and some of the roots will start indie
pendently for the surface. The surest
method of destroying this pest is to cut
them near the surface while raining, at any
time from formation of bloom to maturing
of plant. The rain should be Of some dura.
ton. The plant will eXcrete the juice and
absorb the water, which is certain death.
Showery weather is rather preferable, as
all vegetation is more active during the
sudden changes of the clements. Small
areas can be cut on the approach of a heavy
shower, but it must be Immediately pre-
ceding, and you have the Canada thistle
scientifically and almost automatically con-
quered at merely the trifiing cost of cut

In the thirteenth century the use of the
scarlet hat, which distinguished cardinals,
was sanctioned by Pope Innocent ".
Throughout medieval times the wearing OF
a hat was regarded as mark of rank and
distinction. During the reign of Charles
the Puritans affected a steeple crown and
broad brimmed hat, while the cavaliers
adopted Il lower crown and broader brinn,
ornamented with feathers. In the early
part of the reign of Henry V hats became
popular, and in the time of the wars of the
Roses, all men of high and low degree with
the exception of 'prentices, who wore caps
wore hats. The cooked hat made it's ap.
pearance in the reign of James III, and
could be converted into variety of shapes.
1t was known under several names, as the
Brigadier, the Families, the Regent and
the Frederick.
Even to the present day the naval full
dress is incomplete without the cooked hat,
and on the continent many functionaries,
civil as well rs military, continue to veal
it. Our old militia, line and field officers
of 40 years ago used to wear them out OF
immen2e proportions The round hat, sue
rs Ben Franklin wore, was taken to Paris
from this country by the young officers who
fought for our independence under Rocham-
beau and Lafayette. 1t met with great
favor there.-W ashington Star.

THE H4RVEST-MOON.

Over fields that are ripe with the sweetness
That hides in the full-tasselled corn,
Over vineyards slow reaching completeness,
Dim purplng at dusk and at morn,
Shine down in thine affiuent splendor,
o moon of the year in her prime;
Beam soft, mOther-hearted, and tender;
Earth hath not holier time.
For the seed that slept long in the furrow
Hath Weakened to life and to death;
From the grave that was cerement and burroN
Hath risen to passionate breath.
1t hath laughed in the sunlight and starlight
Hath thrilled to the breeze and the dew,
And fallen, to stir in some far night
And all the old gladness renew.
o moon of the harvest's rich glory,
Thy banners outflame in the sky,
And under thee men write the story
That cries to the heavens for reply
The story of work and cndeavor,
Of burden and weakness and strength,
The story that goes on for forever.
Through centuries dragging its length.
And thou, ever stately and golden,
Thou moon of the latest years prime,
What sight though thine eve hath beholden,
No grief to thy pathway may climb,
As over the fields that are reapen,
At evening and level and shorn,
Thou pourest thy splendors that deepen
The rose and the silver of morn.

REPAIRING AN OCEAN CABLE.
Breaks In Submarine Wires Are Mended
With Little Difficulty.

Breaks In Submarine Wires Are Mended
With Little Difficulty.
It has always been matter of specula-
ton and wonder to most people as to how
a marine cable once broken in midocean is
ever got together again. The explanation
is this: First, it must be known that the
cable practically rests everywhere on the
bottom of the sea. Of course there are
places where sudden deep places coming
between shallow ones will cause the cable
to make span as over ravine or gully.
In other places the ocean is so deep that
the cable finds its specific gravity some
where in midwater, SO to speak. In that
case it rests quit as firmly as if it were on
solid ground
When break occurs, the first step OF
course is to accurately locate its position
A conductor such as cable offers certain
amount of obstruction or resistance" tC
the passage of an electric current. Appa
ratus has been devised for the measuring
of this resistance" The unit of resistance
is called an ohm. The resistance of the av
erage cable is, roughly speaking, three
ohms per nautical mile. Resistance prac
tically ceases at the point where the con
ductors make considerable contact with the
water. Therefore if when measuring to 10
cate break it be found that the measuring
apparatus indicates resistance of 900 ohm:
the position of the fault will be known tc
be 300 miles from shore.
With this inform alton the captain of the
repairing ship is able to determine by his
charts of the course of the cable, the lat
itude and longitude of the spot where the
break occurred and can proceed with Ger
tainty to effect the repair. When the ap
proximate neighborhood of the track is
reached. a grapnel is dropped overheard, and
the vessel steams slowly in a course at
right angles to the run of the cable. On
the deck of the ship there is a machine
called the dynometer, which, as its name
implies, is used to measure resistance. The
rope securing the grapnel passes under this.
If the dynometer records steady increase
of strain, it indicates that the grapnel ha:
caught the cable. If, on the other hand
the resistance varies from nothing to tons
and from tons to nothing again, it is
known that the grapnel is only engaging
rocks or other projections of an uneven bot
tom. 1t is frequently necessary to drag over
such ground several times before the
cable can be secured.
Having secured one end of the parted ca.
BILE, the vessel moors it to buoy and pro-
ceeds to search for the other end. When
both ends are brought together on deck, the
electrician holds communication with the
shore on both sides to make sure that there
are no other defective places and that the
cable is perfect in both directions. This
having been satisfactorily determined, all
that remains is to splice the ends toSethe.
and drop the cable once more back into the
sea.-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Every part of postage stamp making is
done by hand. The designs are engraved
on steel, 200 stamps on a single plate.
These plates are linked by two men, and
then are printed by a girl and a man on a
large handpress. They are dried as fast as
printed and then gummed with starch
paste made from potatoes. This paste is
dried by placing the sheets in steam fam
ming machine, and then the stam.s are
subjected to a pressure of 1000 tons in a
hydraulic press. Next the sheets are cut
so that each one contains 100 stamps, after
which the paper between the stamps is
perforated, and after being pressed the
sheets are filed away. Ii single stamp is
injured, the whole sheet is burned.-St.

A Plea For the Spoon.

Thackeray, it will be remembered, makes
an earnest plea in his Book of Snobs' for
the fork, excoriating wretch whom he de.
tected eating peas with knife. Now the
Boston Journal comes to the front as the
champion of the spoon. The Journal be-
lieves it detects disposition on the part OF
the fork to usurp the powers and duties OF
the spoon. 1t protests against eating ice
cream with fork and adds, What COM
parison in delight can there be between the
forked transit from plate to mouth Of seat,
tering peas, conscious of their fate, and the
calm assurance of the delicious globules
contained safely in the hollow of a spoon?"
1t remains to be seen what answer the Bos.
ton devotees of the fork will make to this
indictment.-New York Tribune.

An Electric StumD Fuller,

Space for fort ON a hill near London is
being cleared of tree stumps by an electric
root grubber or stump puller. The dyna-
mo for supplying the current is about two
miles from the hill. The current is taken
by overhead wires ON telegraph poles to the
motor on the grubber carriage. By means
of betting and suitable gearing the motor
drives captain upon which are coiled
few turns of wire rope. A heavy chain is
attached to the tree roots, and as the rope
exerts its force the roots come up quietly
