NOT A TRUE MURPHY.

He Had the Name and the Physique. but
lacked the Brogue.
A Boston scion Of the great Celtic
family of Murphy, while travelling in
Ireland recently, came across little
village where tho man who did not bear
his patronymic was regarded as Curl
osity. While wandering about this in
teresting hamlet he chanced to come
upon little tavern, and being athirst
entered the taproom for beer. BE it here
known that the traveller was considera-
bly, above the average in stature, and
this was noticed by two old habitues
sitting by the fire. One of these pres
emily remarked TO his companion,
"Mike, that gintleman is taller than
Jerry Murphy, Oi think " "Ah, now,"
replied the other through the 9 inch
stem of 7. D., ''he's not"-with u
rising reflection on the end of the sen
tence. "Yis, he is, retorted the first,
with conviction. Cant Oi see Jerry's
mark there on the dure?"
The travellers attention was then
called to doorpost whereon was mark
ed the stature of four men, all over
feet inches in height. The tallest was
Jerry Murphy, and his mark was feet
5is inches. Accepting this challenge,
the traveller stepped up to the doorpost
and had his height marked, and, 10! it
was full half inch above that of Jerry.
When he had written his name over
his mark, for he goticed that the others
were SO designated, and that they were
all Murphys, some one present called
out, Hes Murphy toor' But one of
the old fellows by the fire would not
have it so and replied: "Indade he's
not. He hasn't got the brogue"

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.
The English Drummer Compared with His
Fellow Salcsman In America.

Fellow Salesman In America.
The commercial traveller in England
is little different from his American
brother, pursuing the same line of pol
icy in "getting there" so far as securing
trade is concerned His invariable rule,
however, is that his first price given to
a local merchant is his last and only
one. There is no going in the morning
with an offer and then in the afternoon
with an extra inducement to make the
trade. This being the invariable rule, it
saves much labor and apprehension in
the mind of the buyer that he has not
done so we'll as he could have done with
more diplomacy.
Everything is done for the comfort of
the traveller, and at the hotels special
apartment called the commercial room
is set apart for his exclusive use. In this

1t is noted as somewhat singular
fact that there are not more than two
processes for enameling cast iron, not
withstanding the amount of ingenious
effort put forth in this direction One
of these is the hot process, in which the
iron, heated to a vivid red, is powdered
with flux powder, borosilicate of lead
distributed with sieve, then heated,
and when the flux fuses IL is powdered
afresh with glass more soluble, forming
the glaze of the enamel, but this opera

the objections named, consists in dress.

Gates of lead, colored by metallic oxides,
to which is added little pipe clay, in
order to give rather more body. The
article thus covered cold, by dipping or
with brushes, is put into the furnace,
the enamel adhering and vitrifying at
the usual furnace temperature used by
enamelers, and by putting coating of
colored enamel with brush on first

any decorations desired, which may be

Of "Roman History" at whose house
Burns and Scott met for the first and
only time, eschewed wine and animal
food, "but huge masses of milk and
vegetables disappeared before him. In
addition. his temperature was regulat-
ed by Fahrenheit, and often, when sit
ting quite comfortably, he would start
up and put his wife and daughters in
commotion because his eye had fallen
ON the instrument and he was degree
too hot or too cold" Yet at the age of
70 he started for Italy with but single
companion to prepare for new edition
of his "Roman History" nor did he die
till he had attained the age of 92.

When at college, he lived ON oatmeal
and small beans, with an occasional
penny loaf, in lodging which cost him
fourpence q week. In later life he de-
voted himself absolutely to the work of
teaching. In addition to his classes in
the high school he appears to have had
for his private pupils some of the most
eminent Scotchmen Of his day.
