even to jump hurdles and bitches,
seated upon saddles which are entire
ly ungirthed and lying loose upon the
horses backs, with the stirrups crossed
upon them and unused. Yet, in that
fashion, successive lines of twenty
four men IN each will sail over the hur-
dies all moving as one man, and no
body trembling or even showing un-
steadiness. These drills take place
every Friday morning, and are always
witnessed by senators, representatives,
cabinet officers, foreign diplomats,
and, indeed, all the official and fash
ionable life Of the capital.
Within few days Gen. Henry re.
ceived the bronze bravery medal
awarded to him for his gallantry at
the battle of Cold Harbor in October,
1868. He had two horses shot under
him in that engagement and received
two body wounds but never left the
field until the fight was over and won.

The cloak wa. q Good FIT.

A gentleman dressed in loose coat
entered ladies' Quitting establish
ment in Paris at a time when the pro-
prietor was alone in the shop. The
gentleman asked to be shown some
ready made ladies' cloaSs, as he wished
to give his wife little surprise.
After careful inspection he fixed
upon one and asked the salesman:
Have you not young lady at
hand to put on the cloak to sec how it
looks?"
The proprietor regretted that none
of the ladies of the establishment
were in at that moment.
We'll, perhaps you wouldn't OBJ
ject to putting it on"
The unsuspecting shoplSeeper slipped
on the cloak, buttoned it. and turned
round in all directions.
Magnificent" exclaimed the pur-
chaser, with seeming ecstacy, but at
the same moment he made a grab at
the till, which he thrust under his
coat and bolted out of the shop.
The Mortified proprietor rushed
after him into the street. where, how
ever, he was seized by the passersby,
who dragged him back to the shop in
the supposition that the poor fellow
had gone mad. and before he could
explain matters the rogue had disap-
peared. lie Petit Journal

An electric locomotive Of 1000 horse

Trades Advertiser under construction

Duncan & Hutchinson, to the order OF
the North American company. 1t is
intended for slow speed and heavy
traction in switching service. The
The machine is carried upon four
pairs of driving wheels, all coupled.
The frame is of steel, with deep pedes-
tails The So inch wheels are close
coupled; the first and last pairs only
are Hanged. There is a(motor in each
axle. the weight of the armature com
ing directly on the wheels and that OF
the field magnets is on the journals
through the pedestals; no spring sup
ports are used. The four motors all
form part of a complete system on a
rigid wheel base of 10 feet. The motors
are of the alternating type, are wound

The Telescope of tho Future.

At the Royal Institution Sir Howard
drubb in a lecture recently discussed
the great telescopes Of the future.
The main point of his new proposal is
to mount colossal instrument so that
1T practically floats on a liquid sup
port In this way even the greatest
refiectors and refractors could be
properly sustained. They would, it is
believed, move with a smoothness. and
steadiness not attainable with sup
ports ordinarily employed BY this
method Sir Ii. Grubb proposes to
render the large telescopes more
suitably adapted for photographing
the heavens. In the ordinary visual
use of the telescope slight irregulari-
ties in the movement of the instru'
ment arc merely inconvenient but for
the accurate demands of photography
absolute precision in movement is re.
CURED When this is wanting the
result Of the photograph is to rep
resent each star as streak instead OF
round sharp dot, which the properly
exposed plate should produce.

Gold Brick In industry.

The farmers are not the only ones
that are stupid enough to buy bogus
gold bricks, as the following telegram
from Denver proves: An alleged gold
brick arrived at the Denver mint last
Monday. 1t was shipped by the First
National bank Of Albuquerque n. NJ,
and it's weight was 500 ounces. Over
400 tests have been made by the as
sayer, who pronounces it to be copper
and zinc. The mass was not in the
usual shape, either oblong or square,
but looked as il it had been cooled in
an iron pot. There were no chip
marks, as in the case OF a genuine
brick, which is usually cut in many
places to test it. 1t had bronze APP
pearance which gold sometimes re-
sembles when dirty. When the melt
ers attempted to cut it up they found
it tough and hard. When experts
were called in to examine the metal
one after the other gave it up, except
that they were of one oplnion-that it
was not gold. The assayer cooled it
and after an analysis found nothing
but copper and zinc with no trace of
gold. The bank at Albuquerque was
notified that the value of the deposit
had dwindled to about 0 cents a pound
from the estimate of S2O.G7 an ounce.
The loss to the bank will be about
$4,000. 1t is presumed they pur-
chased the brick from some alleged
miners Farmers Review.

tention attracted toward Mr.. Pingree
by the noise he was creating in the
political world of Michigan, and de-
voted n page to him. his past life and
his work in Detroit. where he is
known as the reform mayor. The
Tribune pointed him out to the repub-
licans of the United States as COM
ing Presiden tial possibility.
Mr.. Pingree's latest move was his
attempt to settle the great Pullman
strike by calling to his aid
fifty of the mayors of the
leading cities of the United States
in hopes that so powerful an influence
brought to bear upon Mr.. Pullman
might induce him to submit to arbi-
tration. That the movement failed,
owing to the refusal of the Pullman
company to be influenced, was no
fault of the man who conceived and
carried out a movement designed to
bring about good
Mr.. Pingree is and always was re-
publican. He is a veteran of the late
war with an unblemished military
record. He was forced into politics

majorities ranging from 4, 900 to 5, 900.
He was elected mayor of Detroit on
the republican ticket in 1892 by a ma
