John Rattigan will engage in reading law,
so your scribe is informed. He has good
common school education and knows that
there is plenty Of room at the top in the pro-
fession he has chosen.
Mr.. Treasurer Thomas Pepper has never
left his liquor business long enough during
his term of office to learn the routine work of
his responsible trust, but his polite and
efficient deputy, Thomas Pepper, Jr, has
made his mark in the position he filled so
crediably, and he will be missed by the
hosts Of friends he has made.
OF the lesser lights who have occupied
minor positions and whose places may or may
not be filled by better men, we cannot speak,
but of them it may be said as in the song in
the comic opera entitled, "Mikado," they
never will be missed" and so let us bid them
not au reDojr, but inal good bye, because it
is hardly to be expected they will ever got
back again to their old desks, and the hest
wish can express for them is that they will
find more stable and better paying Jobs in
this wide and charitable world outside Of

A couple of young men went about town
yesterday canvassing advertisements for the
program so be issued by the Columbia Hose
Company when its fair is in progress from
Dec, % to Jan. Bird. They entered a Main
street store and were told by the clerk that
he could not give an advertisement and the
proprietor would not. One OF the c4nvassers
differed with him so far as the proprietor was
concerned and the clerk said, "I'll bet you
two dollars he won't give you an 'ad The
canvasser answered, "I'll bet you two dollars
he will have an ad' on this sheet" and each
at once put two dollars in the hands of a
third party. The bet had hardly taken
place when the proprietor entered the store.
The canvasser who made the bet at once went
to business, but the proprietor responded with
an emphatic mo" The canvasser did not
press his solicitation, but wrote the proprietors
name in a space "See here exclaimed the
| clerk, "he says he doesn't want an 'Rd'."
'Thats all right responded the canvasser,
I'm give him a dollar and a half space on
this sheet and pay for it out Of your two
dollars; then he will have an 'ad on the
sheet and 1 will have half dollar to spend
see2" The clerk couldn't see at the point at
once, and he didn't see his two dollars again.

After finishing his day work Catalotski and
nine other men stepped upon the cage at the
bottom Of the shaft and were soon ascending

about $50 feet from the bottom the end of a

In an instant the unfortunate man was
drawn in between the cage and the timbers;

and then screamed with terror.

several timbers and then forced it into one of

as old Jake leaped to the ground.
Il reckon it's all right" returned the
man, with a grin.
At this moment a man came out of
the house and stood by the wagon.
1t was Silas Gudgeon.
Hey, Caleb, did you bring the panth-

voice.
''No, I didn't" returned the lad re-
sentfully.

With these words Gudgeon placed a
folded paper in the Widows hand. Then
he walked hurriedly away.
When Mrs. Rawson opened the paper
and read it, she uttered a wondering
cry. Caleb looked over her shoulder

For Feeding Value it Pays to Properly
Cut and Cure.

Mr.. r. 4. Brown in the Orange Judd
Farmer says:
l have found the best time to cut
clover for feeding value), whenever ii
starts well to blossoning, and if the
weather permits let it remain in swath
Il day; then rake it in windrows. and
leave it so until it rattles ike sticks.
when moved with a fork. l start to
cut timothy early in the blossom. Hay
made thus early is worth much more
for feeding than if cut later. An acre
which would make one ton OF early cut
hay, might make one and one-fOurth
tons, if left standing until the stems
become woody; but it would not equal
the early cut ton for feeding value in
it's nutrients. Early cut hay is vastly
richer in nitrogen; though the later
cut contains more carbon, and for the
purpose OF selling on the market may
be more profitable to the grower. I
never like to start the mower in the
morning before the dew is well off, for
hay dries in half the time when stand
ing that it does if cut down, and al
hour or two of time gained in making
hay is sometimes of great value in rainy
weather. I want my machine just wide
enough between the wheels to let them
run in the open space made by the di-
viding board. This prevents packing
the grass down and assists curing.
Where hay is pitched on to the wagon
with the fork. it pays to run the rake
back and forth over the windrow, put
ting two rakefuls in each pile. If il
looks like rain, two men will build
them up and top them so they will shed
rain. as fast as a horse can rake. |
use a chain rather than 4 rope for I'M
loading; because it does not wear out
and is brighter and runs easier now
than ever before, and cost less than the
same number of feet of rope.

This was replied to by a silent shake
of the head, but the barber doubtless
thought he was acting like one.

Some Information About IncruSted ana
Painted Enamels.

Chambers Journal: Of enamels there
are two sorts, entirely distinct. The
first are the incrJlsted enamelS and the
second are the painted enamelS. Enam-
cling consists in applying to 4 metal
surface q powder composed Of pound
ed slick, or, to put it in the simplest
form. of glass cOlored with metallic
oxides, and then fixed by fire. Thus
it is obvious that the transition was
easy from letting cOlored glass into
gold Or silver settings to melting the
glass into its place SO that it adhered
at the back.
The earliest enamels tell their own
story-they are ''clOisonne,' that is
to say, precisely as jewels were set
in a framework of metal, so frame
works of metal were fashioned to con-
tain the glass melted into these cells.
This was the construction of ''cl0isonne'
enamel: First of all q fine band of gold
was soldered on to the base, standing
up from it at right angles and comfort
ed to form an outline such was de
sired to be given to the ornamentation.
Ii green was to be the color for leaves,
then each leaf was formed OF the band
and closed to contain the green. Each
petal Of a red rose would i like man
ner be inCiosed SO as to form Il gold
pocket in which the red paste would be
melted into glass. Specimens of ''cloi-
sonnc' enamel Of European manufac-
ture are rare. The Louvre collection

ton TO the son of Abraham Lincoln
TO request the American Minister AT
the Court of st. James, Republican
though he be, to retain his place
proves 10 be unfOundcd. Even the
son of the great emancipation could
not escape the grasping hand of the
spokesman.
The e%Sigencies of politics may have
required this manifestation of an un-
patriotic spirit, but there was ne
reason why President Cleveland
should have added an indignity 10 his
act of unkindness, rs he did when he
failed to make Nj. Lincoln the first
American Ambassador to the English
Court. In the middle of March the
British Foreign Oface announced
that its representative, Sir Julian
Paunceforth, was to be promoted to
be an Ambassador. 1t was the duty
of this government instantly to recog-
nize this courtesy by promoting the
American Minister at the Court of
st. James to a position of equal rank.
But this was not dcnc.
With characteristic narrow-mind-
edness President Cleyelap nd refused
to honor the son of Abraham Lincoln,
and, despite the %discourtesy involved
BY this action, he waited until Mr..
Dayard had been selected to the place
and then named him as Ambassador.
