SENATOR COCKRELDS SLOUGH
HAT,

did I ever tell you how Senator
Cockrell got into the Senator" asked
Representative Champ Clark, of Mis-
souri,, in the course of a conversation
in the lobby of the House. "Well,
This is how he got there: He was a
candidate for Governor, but was de-
feated for the nomination by one
sixth of a vote, the smallest margin ON
record. During the race for Governor
he wore big white SLOUGH hat He
repeatedly declared that if any of his
competitors should beat him no man
should throw his hat higher or shout
louder for the nominee than he would.
So after governor had been nomina-
ted, and he, with all the defeated
candidates, was called upon to make
Il speech, Cockrell referred to his pro-
mise, and then and there, as the in
dictInents say, threw his hat skyward
out of sight, and gave three yells for
his successful rival SO loud that they
scared the cat fish in the Missouri Riv-
er. Up to that moment no one had
thought of Cockrell for Senator, but
that hat and lung achievement en-
deared him to the great army of the
Democracy, and in the succeeding
January he defeated all competitors
hands down. He ought to hunt up
the delegate who cast the decisive
one-sixth of one vote against him and
dress him in purple and fine linen the
remainder of his days. 1t was lucky

THE CHINESE NAVY.

China has long recognized the neces-
sity of Il navy, and her fleet of war
junks was, before the introduction of
European-bu ships of war, very ex
tensive, but her experience in the
''opium war; with Great Britain led
her to suspect that possibly these YES
sells of venerable design were not all
that she imagined them to be; but
events move slowly in China, and
twenty-five years elapsed before that
suspicion became certainty and she
could bring herself to believe that her
war unks were worthless.
In 1867 and 1868 some gunboats were
built for her in England, and a few in
her own ports, but they were all small
and it was not until 1872 that a 3400-
ton wooden frgate, constructed by
Chinese labor under foreign direction,
was launched at Shanghai. Since
then number of composite and one
steel vessel have been turned out by
the Chinese dock yards, the three
largest of them being of $500 tons dis
placement, the balance of less than
1900 tons; so that to-day her really eff
fective ships, viz, five armored, four
protected, and thirteen partially pro-
tected vessels, were furnished by
European ship-yards.
On January 1, 1886, the ships of war
which up to that time had been at
tached to provinces, under the orders
of the viceroys, were, by imperial de-
cree, merged into a national navy, and
under the direction of naval board
of control established at Peking

THROUGH "SANDY'' EYES.

A well-known litterateur not long
ago delivered lecture before Buffa-
10 club, and in the course of his talk
he had occasion to quote Shakespeare's
lines about uneasy lies the head that
wears a CROWN" etc. At the conclu-
sion of his address he was approached
by Scotchman, who expressed his
pleasure at the talk, but took occasion
to say that his appreciation of Shake
speare was only limited.
There's that bit you said about the
uneasy head and crown. dinna like
it. It's muckle foolish. Now our
Robbie Burns would ma ha' writ such
stuff"
The lecturer was trifie surprised,
but inquired politely why the Scot
thought as he did.

THE GREAT WHEEL-PITS AND
POWER-HOUSE At NIAGARA.

Next to the canal or reservoir to be
| observed are the great and gloomy
pits, at the bottom of which the tur-
bine wheels are placed. Standing in
| the power-house of the paper-mill and
looking down into the pit, it seems al
| most as though we were gazing into
the mouth of the Internal regions
The workmen light a piece of tow
saturated with oil, and when it has
| famed up into a huge torch, let it
down by rope to the bottom of the
pit. Then the visitor may see by the
CHASTITY light of this torch the rushing
of the water as it escapes from the
| wheel, and coming up from the depths
he hears an Internal diapason. The
force of the water is so great that
if man received it upon his body he
would be crushed and shattered as
though blown from the mouth of
cannon. The power is SO great that
turbine wheels of almost perfect re-
sisting tensile strength have had to
be made in order to receive the force
with safety. Some of them are so large
that it is possible for a man to stand
between the blades, and one pilot O.
graph has been taken in which Mr..
Stetson and some of the officers of the
company are pictured thus framed by
these bronze blades. The pits are cut
out of the solid rock, and the work
was very expensive and difficult, con-
Stunning more time than the engineers
had estimated it would.
Over the greater of these pits is
built the electrical pOwer-house, a
building designed by Stanford White
and suggesting in its unique and i'm
pressive architecture the enormous
power to be generated within, and
giving in itself some hint of the capa-
city of man to master the forces of
nature. AS it now stands it is one
hundred and forty feet long, but the
company designs ultimately to extend
it three hundred feet. At the same
time the main wheel-pit will be eX
tended until it is large enough to con-
tain ten turbine wheels and ten dyna
mos, each of five thousand horse-pow
en- The water wheels at the bottom
of the pit are connected by steel shafts
to the dynamos, which are upon the
main floor; so that the power of the
water falling nearly two hundred feet
upon the wheels is conveyed back to
the surface and transformed by the
dynamos into electricity. The dyna-
mos are probably the finest and larg
est of all the mechanical implements
now employed for the development of
electrical power. They are built after
the DESIGNS of the Westinghouse Com
pany, and embody the very latest i'm
proyements in works of their class
For the present only enough of them
are to be set up to produce electricity
equivalent to fifteen thousand horse
power, and it is the design to deliver
the greater part of this to the city of
Buffalo. McCL1Gre'S Magazine.

DOMESTIC SERVICE IN SAxONY.

Women whose lives are made miser-
able by the peculiarities of domestics
will read with interest, if not appreci-
alton, this item concerning the laws Of
Saxony, which are indeed somewhat
curious, relating to servants. For in
stance, the mistress, is required to al
low the servant one pound of butter
and one pound of coffee per month, or
their equlvalentin money. If the SER
want furnishes her own bedding she
receives three farthings per night for
so doing. Three shillings per month
is allowed the servant for washing,
and she receives five per cent. on all
purchases she makes. She must give
a months notice before leaving her
place, and must keep a book for re-
concentrations, in which, upon leav-
ing her place, her mistress is compell-
ed to state the cause of the servants

WIEN FALLOW Fields INVITE.

WHEN F4LLOW FIELDS INVITE.
Now is the time when fallow fields invite
The restless wanderer with their pensive
charms,
When Autunn's torches wave their golden
light,
And sumachs from the hillsides burn alarms
Along the rocky path of some spent stream.
Mid tangled weeds and grasses, brown and
dry,
The tall rudbeckia's yellow blossoms CLEAN,
Like peaceful stars within quiet sky.
While; here and there, the milkweed stalks up
Their hs, gray bowls filled with many fairy
Which to each passing wind is thrown a gift.
To soar like Hope, and, like Hope quickly
fall.
Across the distant hillside's rugged face,
The creeping smilax weaves its flaming bars,
And patches of wild asters bloom and trace
Their milky way in white and purple stars
Along the fenceway grows the bitter-sweet,
Its crimson berries hung in Swaying chains,
Like rosaries, on which Autumn may repeat
Her prayer for Summer in low, sad refrains.
Deep in the thickets where the colors glow,
Like those on palette from masters brush,
Some lone, helated bird pipes sad and low
And breaks upon the Autumn's brooding
hush.
A SPELLS on each clump of maple trees.
That golden spell that Midas held of old,
And showers of leaves float out on every breeze.
BY Autumn'S magic touch turned into gold.
The world is yelled with tissues fairies wear,
The wolf of sunshine, warp of purple mist,
And through the haZy, soft enchanted air,
The distant hills seem carved OF amethyst.
A thousand beauties WOO the Artists heart,
thousand charms the Poets soul delight;
Oh happy one who holds in these part,
oh blissful days when fallow fields invite.
