History of the Six Nations.

In the interior department at Washlng-
ton there is most valuable manuscript on
the Six Nations. 1t was compiled and
written by experts in the bureau Of eth
biography, and is intended to be printed
at some time in the future. The work is
a complete history Of the Six Nations,
contains a full vocabulary of their tongues
and dialects, enters into minute study
Of their religious belief and manner of
worship, besides describing fully their
social customs. 1t is said that the manu-
script may lie for years without being put
into the printers hands, unless someone
interests himself sufficiently in the matter
to have the work begun upon it. When
completed the book will make several vol

CHEAPEST TRAVELLING.

1t is Across the Atlantic in the Steer
age.
A trip across the Atlantic is one Of
the cheapest ways of travelling at the
present day. The distance from Liverpool
to New York is 31T0 miles, and Storage
passengers are not only carried this dis
tance but are provided during the journey
with food and lodging for the sum Of 80
shillings by one line and 40 shiihngs by
another. The companies, out of the pas
sage money, pay the passengers fare to
Liverpool, averaging, say, II shillings, and
a commission Of shillings to the shipping
agent. Deducting these sums, and shll-
Iings, the cost of outfit, the amount re,
ceiyed by the ship is 13 1-6 in one case
and II 10 in the other for conveying the
traveller 3170 miles and his maintenance
for six or seven days.
On some Of the workmen's trains in
London passengers are conveyed at a
penny per six miles, while IL Liverpool
workmen can travel eight miles on bus
for q penny. On the elevated railroad
of New York the citizens are conveyed
q distance of 10 miles for 215d.-AnSWerS.

Strength of a Brick Arch

The strength Of brick arch having a
span of ID feet IL inches and a rise of

at Beaue, France, with a view to deter
mine the suitability of such a construction
for service reservoir now being built
there. The bricks measured 11.SX5. Xxi. 2
inches. and were laid fiat, with joint of
them and an $40 inch layer of mortar
outside. A section two feet wide was
built on rock abutments and loaded with
$40 pounds per square foot, which load
was carried without any signs of failure
for eighteen hours.

Weak nerves respond harshly and inhar-
moniously to slight shocks, which would pro-
duce no effect upon strong ones. The shrill
outcry of a child, the slamming of a door,
the rafting of u vehicle over uneven pave

weak worcestershire nerves, sorely. NerV-

THE DEADLY FLYBACK.
John Torrent Has Invented Machine to
Do Away with This Terror.

Do Away with This Terror.
John Torrent, who has perhaps had as
much experience in numbering and saw
mill work as anyone in the state, has
made an invention that he claims will do
away with the deadly 'fyback," so com
mon to saWmill men.
The machine is an edger, so construct
ed that instead of cutting over it cuts
under. The board passes under the saw,
which is so regulated that it can be
gagged for a board Of any thickness 1t
is impossible for a board to get away from
the saw, as it rather drives it through
than away from the saw.
The first Of the machines has just been
completed by the Lakeside iron works
for Mr.. Torrent and will be shipped today
or tomorrow to the $780, where it will
be put in the Torrent mill. 1t has not
yet been tried but its workings are sc
practicable that there seems to be nc
doubt of its Observation-Disclosures News.

REPUBLIcAN STATE PLATFoRM.

peka adopted this platform:
Reafirming the republican national platform
of 1892.
Resolved, First: The constant patriotism of
our party is in itself guarantee to the nation
that the interests of its defenders. their widows
and orphans. will be literally cared for and we
denounce their cruel and deliberate betrayal by
the present democratic administrati ton.
Seconds We adhere to the republican doctrine
of protection and believe that tariff laws should
protect the products of the farm well as the
factory.
Third: The American people favor bimetal-
of both gold and silver as standard money with
such restrictions and under such provisions to
be determined by legislation, viii secure the
maintenance of the parity of values of the two
ing power of the dollar. whether of gold. silver
paper, shall be at all times equal. The IN
terests of the producers of the country It's farm
ers and its working men, demand that the mlnts
be opened to the coinage of silver of the mines
of the United States and that congress should
foreign silver sufficient to fully protect the pro-
ducts of our own mines.
Fourth: We favor national and state legisla-
tion for tine encouragement of irrigation.
Fifth: We denounce the present state admin
istration for its violation of the laws and con-
tempt of the courts, the corruption and incom-
potency of its officials, its gross mlsmanagem
of the state Institutions and for Il discredIt 1t
has brought upon the good name of the state.
And we pledge the republican party and the
economical discharge of all official duties, to a
strict observance and an honest enforcement of
law, and to obedience to the mandates OF the
courts
Sixth: To the maintenance of these prlncI-
pies we invite the support of all patriotic cltl-

One of the readers wants to know
the exact method of using pumice
and cream for the removal OF super
fuous hair from the chin. Just rub
the chin thoroughly with the cream
to soften the hair; then take piece
of pumice stone and rub the affected
parts steadily but gently for five or
ten minutes, being careful not to
continue it until the skin is irritateL.
Continue this treatment every night
and morning for six months and the
result VIII be gratifying. Some may
say that it takes too long, but the
disf1guring hairs have been many
months on their way.
Vaseline rubbed well into the scalp
will increase the growth of the hair.

While great improvements have
been made in the last few years in
shorthand systems, and language can
now be transferred to paper with the
rapidity of speech, the writing of

and it is said that certain musicians
have devised for themselves such a
system, which has served their pur-
pose fairly we'll But any attemp6
to bring the speed of musical nota-
tion within even appYeciable dis
tance Of the rate of musical produc-
tion, either instrumental or vocal,
has always been looked upon as i'm
possible. 1t is difficult to imagine
how IL can ever be otherwise, but
none the less are tb Ose inventors,
who seek to increase the facility of
transferring TO paper musical ideas,
either fresh from the brain of the
composer or from the rendition Of
the artist worthy of COMMUNICATION
and gratitude. An attempt in this
direction has Just been made in the
constructiosi of machine for type
writing ms7ic says the Fort Worth
Gazette. :she machine looks like an
ordinary typewriting machine, after
which it is modelled, the frame, key
levers, type bars, and carriage being
retained. Various notifications are
made so as to aaapt the instrument
to the change of notation, the car
riage being shifted endwise only for
the different lines, octayes or notes,
and the paper is fed forward with
each stroke of the type. The ma
chine is intended either to be u ed
with paper already ruled or to write
its own stan by repeating q i've
lined character.
