The Loon as a Dodger.

There is no denying that all the looms
ever Matched up to date have been
"artful dodgers in superlative degree.
The question is often raised whether
they are quick enough to dodge bullet.
I once had guide who drew distinc-
ton quite too fine, as thought He
claimed that loon could see the fash Of
a percussion cap at the breech of muz-
zle loading piece and could dodge, but
admitted that, with the rifle loaded like
all modern ones, at the breech, no loon
could escape shot rightly aimed. For
my part, do not believe the interval of
time between the fire at the two ends of
the barrel to be measurable by eyes of
birds or men or anything short Of a
chronograph.
AS to the question, however, it is
possible to reason with tolerable conf
dence. We know the speed of rifle
bullet. Call it l, 400 feet second. I'm
agine your loon at that distance or
nearer Then reflect how slowly bird q
head must move to use up more than a
second in dropping few inches under
water Gravity alone would carry it
farther than that. 1t is easy to believe
that if the wary bird happens to be look
ing toward the hunter the rife fash
suggests danger. A half second would
give ample time to dodge, provided the
action began promptly. 1t is safe to say
that it takes looms weight in lead tc
kill him, and we may call it settled
that, if q loon does not dodge bullet,
at least the lead goes down in the same
hole in the water. Boston Transcript.

WOES OF THE MILKMAN.
Try His Best, He Never Succeeds In Getting
Back All His Bottles.

"The greatest trial of my life, says
milkman, sis bottles. Yes, sir, bottles.
If it WASH t for bottles, I'd want nothing
better. Other people never think of bot
ties. actually dream of bottles It's
bottles, bottles, bottles-who's got the
bottles with me all the timel
"The most perfect system Of book
keeping ever invented will not account
for bottles. When send out 100 bot
ties of milk in the morning, I'm dead
certain to lose track of half dozen. l
never look upon them bottles all again.
Never again, sir! The milks are cents
and the bottles are cents. But the peo-
pei who would scorn to steal milk will
keep the bottles. They think bottles
don't cost nothing, or they don't think
nothing at all.
"Some time ago a lady was behind
about seven bottles and hadn't returned
any for week. I know some people
get two or three days behind with their
empties, but couldn't account for all
of these While was thinking about it
and look over across toward her fat l
saw her maid chuck an empty out of
the kitchen winder into the lot And,
don't you know, I went over there and
found a whole pile of broken bottles
and two or three whole ones. They
didn't know any better. Now, there
was lady in the other day, and says,
Ma am, Asays I, I've got you charged
with five bottles here.
What's thatT says she. 4 haven't
got any Of your old bottles. You don't
suppose I'd steal milk bottles, do youi
When I get to stealing, I'll take some
thing better'n old castoff milk bottles.
I don't like your milk anyhow. It's
more'n half water, and I'm going tC

"And she did change, and I lost q
good customer By the mere mention Of
bottles. Some people keep their tea and
things in the bottles. You can't go and
search for them. You must take thil
word for it that they amt got none
They are supposed to return theil
empties the next DAY, and they'll keel
them for week. I'd have to have {
carload of extra bottles to suit them
Some of them just slap on their emptiet
when the dumbwaiter comes their way,
and some other milkman goes off with
them. They don't care. And then
when you call up for their empties
they get mad as hops and swear they
sent them down-whioh perhaps they
did, but not to us.
"And there's the servants that breal
bottles and swear they returned them 1

them. It's enough to drive a man tt

The following fraud upon an insur-
ance company, which we find in The
Deutsche Tabak- -Zeitung, is certainly
just little too good to be true. A cum
ming fellow, who wanted to smoke the
best cigars at the cheapest possible cost,
bought 1000 cigars of the highest quail
ity and corresponding price and imme-
diately insured the whole stock. When
he had smoked the last Of them, he de-
manded 750 marks from the insurance
company on the ground that the whole
Of his insured stock, 10 boxes Of cigars,
had been consumed by fire! The Solo
monic court decided in favor Of the
plaintiff The company then brought
an action of conspiracy against the
smoker, accusing him Of having inten-
tionally put fire to his own cigars and
deliberately destroyed his property.
Hereupon the same wise court con-
demned the insured smoker to three
months imprisonment. w Westminster

HOW SLATE is MINED.
The Wonderful Skill Of the worIxmen Who
Cut II Up.

The Wonderful Skill Of the worIxmen Who
Cut IL Up.
The manner in which slate is mined
and cut up for purposes to which it is
applied is process that is known to
only few people in this country, its
principal sources being in upper New
England and eastern Pennsylvania 1t
is not taken out of shafts, butit is quar-
ried out of big holes in the earth. Some
time ago, when the writer was at Ban
gor, Pa, he was invited to go down
into one of these quarries, about 200
feet deep and overland on rope, but
he declined the invitation, as / think
most inexperienced persons would do.
The slate is blasted out in huge blocks
and is hoisted out by steam and turned
over to the men who know how to re-
duce it to the proper size. Huge blocks
of it are taken in hand by these work
men. who cut notch into one end Of
each piece Then they take chisel and
mallet, and they are so skillful in di-
recting their blows that they can split
the blocks of slate in almost any way
they please If you watch the slab on
which one of them is working, you will
see little hair line running through it,
and presently the block will fall apart
on either side of this mark. The work
men will make this line go straight
through the middle, or to either corner
just as he likes. do not know just how
he, does it, but he invariably accom-
plishes what he sets out to do.
The smaller pieces thus produced are
taken in hand by another set of men,
who split them up into sheets of the
proper thickness for roofing slate This
they do with long bladed instrument
about the shape of putty knife, but
many times larger, and if you saw
them do it you would marvel how they
got the sheets only one inch thick and
split it 80 times. The usual number of
divisions is 16. These sheets are taken
and cut into squares by machinery.
Wherever there are slate quarries you
will find great many Welshmen, for
the best skaters come from Wales. Boys
follow the trade of their fathers, and
there are whole families and settlements
who know no other means of earning q
living. New York Advertiser.

THE DRUMMER WlLTED.
A 81 900 Ante In Senatorial Game Was
Too Rich For His Blood.

A d, 900 Ante In Senatorial Game Was
Too Rich For His Blood.
A group of millionaires were playing
what was probably the stiffest game Of
poker ever played in the United States.
It was at Chamberlin's in Washing
ton, in the winter Of 1889 and 1890.
The exact list of the players will never
be known, but Senator Wolcott of Col
orado and Ex-Governor Hauser of Mon
tana were in it, and Senator Farwell Of
Chicago was in the room.
About midnight swell drummer for
Chicago dry goods firm sent up his card
to Senator Farwell. The senator went
down to see him and brought him up to
the room where the game was going on.
He introduced him to the other players.
"Have you any objection to my play
ing?" asked the drummer.
"Well," said Senator Wolcott, 81
have no objection, but-er-well, you
see, the game is pretty steep" "
"Ha, hap laughed the drummer.
''That is the kind of game I like"
Ex-Governor Hauser remarked that
if he could stand it the rest of the
crowd had no objection. With wink
at Senator Farwell, the drummer sat
down, pulled out "wad," peeled off
q 81 900 bill and said to Governor Hau-
ser, who was dealing:
"Give me some chipsp'
Then he looked around the table, al

HinUoO Grades.

The four grades of society among the
Hindoos are the Brahmans, or sacerdotal
class, who are said at the moment Of
creation to have issued from the mouth
Of Brahma; the Kshatrya, or Chuttsee,
or military class, sprung from the arm
Of Brahma; the Vaisya, or Bats, or
mercantile class, from the thigh Of
Brahma, and Sudras, or Sooders, or serv-
lie class, from the foot of Brahma
The business of the Sudras is to serve
the three superior classes, more espe-
cially the Brahmans. Their condition is
never to be improved; they are not to
accumulate property and are unable by
any means to approach the dignity of
the higher classes, These divisions are
hereditary, impossible and indefeasible.

But the Reporter Failed to Get Big
scoop" All the Same.
IT once had an experience, said an
old newspaper man at the Press club to
a reporter, with the late Senator
Vance which I shall never forget. Itwas
during Crisp's first contest for the speak
ership, and, as you all probably remem-
ber, every newspaper man in town was
hustling for inside news. The sources
of this, as usual in such cases, were very
few, and Senator Vance, who was act
ing in the capacity of an advisor to the
nominating caucus, had to spend most
of his time lodging journalists.
$50 wary did he become that he dis
continued taking his lunch in the senate

mittee room. One day, however, l
caught glimpse of him passing through
one of the lower corridors on the house
side. Determined not to let him escape
me, at once hastened forward, and in
the most innocent manner possible be-
gan asking him about his health, which
was rather bad at the time. He answer
ed all my questions in the kindest
manner possible and was about to leave
when said:
'Oh, by the way, senator, who do
you think will get the nomination?
/" 4 don't know exactly, he replied,
but they will have to fight if they want
to win.
Certain now of my information, l
began to see the letter was going to re-
ceive from the home office, after they
had published my big scoop, telling me
in the most fattering terms that the
paper had decided to raise my salary on
account of my good work.
Which side, senator?' asked, al
most in a whisper for fear some one
would be lurking in the dark recesses
and hear the reply which was to make
me the most noted hustler for news in
the ranks of journalism.
Both sides, he replied as he dlsap-
peared in the door of committee room.

pends upon high tariff tax. Neither
argument nor experience successfully
taught to the contrary. In spite OF
the dlsasterous fact that the price OF
wool steadily declined under protec-
tive tariff from one dollar pound in
1863 to ten cents a pound in 1894,
the farmers have been urged to de-
fend protection as the true salvation
Of wool growing.
The Democrats have advocated free
wool in the interest of both farmer
and manufacturer, but until now have
argued in vain. At no time since
1860 has it been possible for the
Democrats 10 enact tariff law OF any
character. Now, one of the very best
features according to Democratic
theory, of the new tariff law is the
free wool schedule. BY next spring
the operation of the law should show
substantial results upon the woolen
industry. If Democratic beliefs cor
rect, the price of the clip will in
crease. Ifit does advance, and il 1t
shall remain 6rm with an upward ten
dency, then will the greatest OF Ne.
publican protection props be Knocked
from under the wall of commercial
non-intercourse. 1t will prove to the
wool growers which party has been
their best and most consistent friend.
If free wool shall do what the party
believes it will, manufacture will be
stimulated and the demand for wool
increased. 1t is we'll known that the
United States has never furnished
sufficient wool for the home mills, and
in the manufacture of certain grades
of goods the mixture of foreign woods
is necessary. The freer the foreign
raw product the greater will be the
demand for the home mixture, and
consequently prices of wool at home
must advance. This may be theory
now but very short time will test
the wisdom of the new Legislation. If
it shall work as successfully as Demo
Gratis predict it will be the greatest
possible tariff object lesson, and long
before the next presidential! campaign
the farmers will be so completely con-
vinced of the fallacy of alleged pro-
lection that Mckinley, Reed & Co.
will have to look elsewhere than the
farmers for votes to overthrow the
Democratic administration. This con-
gress has done we'll IN placing WOO
upon the free list. 1t has placed the
party upon solid ground where its
principles can be exempli6ed and its
sound position demons:rated.-Toledc
