The entertainment given by the pupils
of our High School, Thursday, was
splendid, and reflected great credit upon
all OF the teachers, who drilled the

programme was varied with music, and
Tableau Mouvants, which were a series
of beautiful pictures, gracefully acted.

Hillsboro is particularly fortunate at
this especial juncture in having for a
citizen one of the best plumbers from
the city OF Philadelphia. He comes from
a school where city inspection is the
most severe, and is unqualifedly en-
dorsed by the leading achitscts, plumb
ers and builders Of that city. He has
personally supervised the plumbing OF
some of the largest and most important
business establishments and residences
in that city. Since locating here, his
services have been in demand by those
exacting the best work, for many miles
around. Kirk, the Sanitary Plumber,
with his thorough, honest work, will be
an important factor in the comfort and
wellfore OF our city, when the new water
works are started.

The smith Family Ham.

The average citizen is fond of a
piece of sweet ham, but it is an absolute
waste to set before an uneducated palate
a slice of a genuine old Smithfield that
has been two years in curing, " said
Colonel Thomas Longley of Virginia.
THE fame of the Smithfeld ham has
been spread to the uppermost parts Of
the land, and l never yet knew a man
who was cognizant Of the merits of both
that didn't prefer the product Of old
Virginia to the choicest that ever came
from Westphalia | can't describe the
process of the formers treatment in de-
tail, but know it is enveloped in ashes
a good while and subsequently buried
in mother earth, where it stays for many
moons
Some high flying epioures aver
that Smithfeld should be literally
drenched with champagne while in
process of cooking, but l don't think
wine is at all necessary. Ny mode is to
parboil it till the skin comes off easily,
then put it in the baking pan and haste
judiciously with vinegar and sugar
Then it comes out dish fit for tho
Olympian gods. OF course all the hams
that bear the name do not come from
the little town Of Smithfeld, for that
little hamlet couldn't supply one-hun-
dredth part of tho demand
A member of the universal Smith
family, old Captain Isaac, for whom
the town was named, and who was if,
| mistake not, contemporary of Gen
eral Washington, invented the process
of curing that part of the hog in ques-
ton, and today his imitators are scat
tered all over Virginia and Maryland

Crazed Engineers.

Insanity is very frequent among rail-
way employees. Two dramatic illustra-
tions can be mentioned There is living
in New Jersey, not far from Philadel-
phia a man who for many years was
the foremost passenger engineer between
New York and Philadelphia on the
Pennsylvania railroad He ran all the
specials and best trains, and in 10 years
never had an accident. One night in
the CLEAN of the headlight he saw a
woman. He had only time to see her
hands raised and to hear her cry, and
before he could put his hand upon the
lever he felt a jerk under the wheels
and knew that all was over. Since that
night he has never been on an engine
For months he did not sleep and later
became practically insane, but only on
the one point Of seeing and hearing the
woman his engine killed Now he goes
about harmlessly and aimlessly, but he
has to be kept away from railroads, and
in his fretful sleep he awakes with cries
and paroxysms of horror. The other
case is that Of man who was conductor
of train on the Camden and Amboy,
whose train had an accident He came
out all right himself but it preyed so
upon his mind that one night he left his
home, and going to the point where the
accident occurred threw himself in
front of passing train, receiving in
juries from which he died. -Philadel-

One Of the favorite arguments of the
skeptic Is that the Biblical story of Jo-
nah and the whale cannot be true sim
ply because the books on natural history
say that such animals have very small
Threats. Appleton American Cyclic
pedia says, 1.-The food of whales consists
only Of the smallest Of the marine mol
lusca, herring being the largest fish
they can swallow Chambers Encyolo-
pedia, in the article Whale, says:
1.-The gullet Of whales is very narrow.
1t is said not to be more than = inches
In diameter even in a large whale, SO
that only very small animals can pass
through it. " In Mcmillan 5 book on the
ouriosities Of the ocean, 'The Sea and
Its Denizens, chapter 3, page 80,
find the following; That the story Of
Jonah and the whale cannot be refuted
simply because such animals have, as
rule, very small outlets or threats may
be inferred from the fact that there are
certain species of the sperm whale now
living that can swallow an object 2 feet
in diameter | myself was present at
LamarclI when a buoy as large as a 2
gallon water cask, and greater in diam
eter than the chest and shoulders of
200 pound man, was taken from the
belly Of whale which was not more
than two-thirds grown. st Louis

Mnles peliriou. wlth PIeasure.

81 saw an odd sight in Luzerne
county, said Ecl1ley b, Coke Six
mules that had for four years hauled
cars in the lower workings of coal
shaft to and from the foot of the shaft
had to be brought up, owing to the
flooding of the mine on account of fire
The mules in all that time had seen no
light stronger than the flicker of the lit
tie Davy lamps the miners carried. The
sun was in its zenith when they reached
the surface, and the atmosphere was as
clear as crystal.
1.-THE astonished creatures closed their
eyes to shut out the flood Of strong
light and kept them closed while they
were being driven to q pasture lot q
mile distant and turned loose There
they stood trembling, as if thoy were
afraid something evil was about TO be-
fall them Presently they half opened
their eyes and peered around in open
mouthed amazement twas clear they
couldn' understand it.
"When they had become accustomed
to the sunlight, they elevated their
heads and slowly swept their gaze over
culm piles, sky mountains and horizon
again and again. Toward shutdown
they broke into a chorus Of joyous brays,
the like of which was never heard from
mules before.
"After a quarter Of an hour Of that
music they took to kicking, jumping,
whirling around like teetotums and
rolling on tho sod as if they had gone
mad. For four days they spent their
time gazing at the new sights Of field
and sky, refusing food and water, not
even nibbling at the grass and not as
much as blinking an eye in sleep. -

There Was a Little Mistake, but 1t Was a

His face beamed with surprise and
pleasure as on entering tie great store
he saw friendly figure and features
with which he was familiar confront
him just within the door.
'Im right glad to see you, - he said,
shifting the satehel he carried from his

inquired:

myself l want a pair of suspenders if

He extended his hand, expecting to
grasp that of his friend, but his lnuckles
struck a cold, bare expanse of looking
glass let into the wall Then he saw
the face of the clerk over his shoulder,
and he knew no had been fooled and
had mistaken the semblance Of himself
for an old friend And he meekly fol-
lowed the clerk, bought pair Of red,

Plant Propagation.

Some very curious processes for propa-
cation are practiced at the public gar.
dens One consists in cutting with a
knife "a ring around branch of plant
One might imagine that the intention
was TO kill the branch, but such is by
no means the object in view. The cut
having been made piece Of wet moss
is wrapped and tied around the branch at
that point Beneath this protection the
sap exudes from the wound, and little
rootlets ARE developed After a few days
the branch is cut away from tho parent
stem being then itself complete plant,
with roots, all ready to put in a pot.
This plan is adopted with plants Of slow
growth, because one plant may thus be
split up intShhalf dozen or more Of
good size, instead of waiting for a
Seeding or little slip to develop. Wash

Glass weaving.

The key to the process of making
glass curtains, in connection with knit
material, consists in operating particu-
lar needles Of the machine ut the right
time and allowing others to remain idle,
for which purpose a set Of chain bars is
used, SO arranged as to render it posi-
BILE to command the different needles
according to the needs Of the process
"A chain is made up Of bars, links and
balls, like those used on the loom for
weaving cloth, and there is a lever at
tached to the shoulder Of each needle
and extending from the ~ ! whore the
goods circle the needles n to the
first bar of the chain, the ,,r resting
in bearings On the turning of crank
connecting beveled gears motion is i'm
parted through the agency of an upright
shaft to the chain cylinder, and every
time the yarn is delivered TO the needles
revolution is made, the chain bar cylin
der presenting a new bar to the levers
Of the needles, and whenever a ball ON
the bar contacts on the lever the needle
to which it belongs is pushed forward,
and mechanical device causes the
needle to operate and form loops, thus
knitting. There arc, however, blanks
on some Of the bars, and when these
blanks connect with the levers Of the
needles no movement is made. --Uphol
