NOT A TRUE MURPHY.
He Had the Name and the Physique, but
Lacked the Ero@ue.

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 a little
village where the man who did not bear
his patronymic was regarded as a curl
osity. While wandering about this in
teresting hamlet he CHANGED to come
upon a 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, Oh think" "Ah, now"
replied the other through the 2 inch
stem of a T. D., 'he's not''-with a
rising reflection on the end of the SEN
tence. "Yis, he is, retorted the first.
with conviction. Cant Oh see Jerry's
mark there ON the dure?'
The travellers attention was then
called to a doorpost whereon was mark
ed the stature of four men, all over 6
feet 4 inches in height. The tallest was
Jerry Murphy, and his mark was 6 feet
5H inches. Accepting this challenge,
the traveller stepped up to the doorpost
and had his height marked, and, LOT it
was a full half inch above that of Jerry.
When he had written his name over
his mark, for he noticed that the others
were so designated, and that they were
all Murphys, some one present called
out, He's a Murphy tool" 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 broguer"-Bos-

Editor Dana Short on Wheat.

ANY great fall of the price of wheat
is no longer possible, as the consump-
ton increases faster than the produc-
ton"
The above remark was made by Mr..
Charles A. Dana, the editor Of The Sun,
when interviewed in Paris. MI. Dana
may be correct in stating that s'any
great fall in the price Of wheat is no
longer possible, " because farmers have
seen the price of wheat tumble down to
bedrock since the election of a Demo-
cratic administration, which was aided
and abetted by The Sun.
Mr.. Dana is wrong, however, in stat
ing that ''the consumption increases
faster than the production" There was
a surplus of wheat stocks throughout
the world larger by so, 000, 900 bushels
July l, 1894, than on the same date two
years ago, larger by 65, 600, 900 bushels
than three years ago, larger by 80, 000,-
600 bushels than four years ago and
larger by Sc. 600, 900 bushels than five
years ago, when the area planted to
wheat was 5, 900, 900 acres greater than
last seasons area. MI. Dana should not
be led away by wheat statistical theo-
rists. BE should study facts

Enameling Cast Iron.

1t is noted as q 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 a fux powder, borosilicate of lead
distributed with a sieve, then heated,
and when the fux fuses it is powdered
afresh with glass more soluble, forming
the glaze of the enamel, but this opera
ton is attended with danger and is not
adapted to large articles or for decora-
ton. The second process, which meets
the objections named, consists in dress
ing Or coating the article first with mag
netio oxide, then dipping it in borosili-
Gates of lead, colored by metallic oxides,
to which is added d 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 a coating of
colored enamel with a brush on a first
coat simply plain it is possible to make
any decorations desired, which may be
burnt in at n operation for outdoor
vases, etG-New York Sun.

ODDITIES OF scoTcHMEN.
Some Delightful Peculiarities Pointed Opt
by an Excellent Authority.

Some Delightful Peculiarities Pointed Opt
by an Excellent Authority.
Some delightful oddities of Scotch
character are given in Wilmot Harri-
sons new book, says The Scottish
American.
Professor Adam Ferguson, che author
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 a degree
too hot OF too cold" Yet at the age of
70 he started for Italy with but a single
companion to prepare for a new edition
of his "Roman History" nor did he die
till he had attained the age of 90.
Another character" is DR.. Alexan-
der Adam, rector Of the high school and
author of a work IN Roman antiquities
and a man of extraordinary industry.
When at college, he lived on oatmeal
and small beans, with an occasional
penny loaf, in a lodging which cost him
fourpence a 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.
Rev. Sir Henry Wildwood Moncreiff,
a member of a Scottish family distin-
guished during several generations in
connection both with church and state,
appears to have given wonderful Sun
day suppers. "This most admirable and
somewhat old fashioned gentleman was
n of those who always dined between
sermons, probably without touching
wine. He then walked back from his
small house in the east end of Queen
street to his church, with his bands, his
little cooked hat, his tall cane and his
cardinal air; preached, if it was his
turn, a sensible, practical sermon, walked
home in the same style, took tea about
8, spent some hours in his study, at 8
had family prayers, at which he was
delighted to see the friends of his sons,
after which the whole party sat down
to roasted hares, goblets of wine and his
powerful talk"

Republicans Decreased Our Debt,

Can you tell me how the debt of the United
States and the amount of taxation compare,
per capita of population, with those of other
countries? L. NJ. MCCUNE.
According to calculations at the CEN
sus bureau, the debt of the United
States amounts to $45 per family of five
persons, or 50 per capita. On a similar
basis of calculation the debt of Ger
many is $500 per family of five persons,
or $50 per capita; the debt of France is
1891 per family, or $40 per capita; of
Austro-Hungary it is 1854 per family,
Or almost $71 per capita; of Great Brit
ain it is 1897 per family, or $67.4 40 per
capita. The average proportion of GUS
toms and internal revenue paid by each
person in the countries mentioned below
during the years 1882 to 1890 was as
follows.

Every good cook is careful to dispose

are necessary to change it into a foul

Will you be kind enough to state the amount

4. 1889. and at the same date four years later?
CHARLES z. WEBER.
We have not at hand the figures asked
for on March 4, but give those at the
end of each fiscal year June 80, 1889
and 1892, as supplied in the statistical
abstract of the United States, published
by the treasury department., as follows:
CASH IN TREASURY.

Increase in four slo3, SCI, 500

1t will be seen that within four years
the cash in the treasury increased by
$103, 824, 500. In this connection it is
interesting to compare the amount of
the national debt, less cash in the treas
ury, and also the per capita debt, as
supplied by the same official authority.
Thus:

1t will be seen that during the three

1861.

Here it is seen that during the four
years ending June 80, 1892, the nation
al debt, less cash in the treasury, de-
creased by $134, 413, 286. 60, or at the
rate OF So. O5 per head of our population.
This showing is slightly different from
that made during the first year of the
present administration, which added al
most $75, 000,0 900 to the national debt.
1t is Of further interest to study the
amount of interest paid on the national
debt within the same period, which, it
will be seen, decreased by SIT, 623, 1858,
Or at the rate Of 10 cents per capita:
