Where Jewsharps Are Made

Bath claims the distinction of having
the only jewsharp factory in this country
outside of the city of New York. The
industry is carried on in a building sit
uatcd on Fourth street. i'll the rear of
No. 16 J. r. Smith. the proprietor of
the establishment, has made jewsharps
worked at the business in England, and
nearly fifteen in this country He first
started in Troy, but believing the location
would be more healthful in Bath he re-
moved to that village about nine years
ago.
The jewsharp was classed as a toy
up to few years ago. 1t is now placed
among musical instruments. For CEN
turtles it was known all over Europe,
1t is also known as the Jews TRUMP,
1t consists of metal frame with two
branches. between which a slender tongue
of steel, fastened at one end and free at
the other. is made to vibrate by twitching
with the finger while the frame is held
between the teeth.
While there is no decrease in the de-
mand, Mr.. Smith says, there has been
during the last few years a gradual NOV
ing of the demand westward. Orders
have increased in Chicago in the same
proportion that they have fallen off in
New York. Mr.. Smith manufa ctures
twelve different styles of jewsharps,
ranging in price from So to $25 per
gross. They are put up and shipped in
boxes of twelve-gross lots. Mr. Smith

ment-Albany State

what I'VE MEAN to do this morning. as, il
has been brought before our notice in a
peculiar way that young members of the
stronger sex need reminder of their re-
missness in their duty to the women
whom they some day expect to call their
wives. p.
Now. some one undoubtedly remarks.
She is going to talk TO the engaged
men,, and there some one makes great
mistake, though natural one When
we made reference to the women whom
they some day expect to call wives, it
was misleading no doubt, but to put all
vagueness aside let us come to the point.
and give the thoughtless derelict a good
sound scolding. Men, young or ADVANCED
IN years, ought to be made to realize that
they have no right to monopolize girls
society, treat her with a marked tender
ness and place her before the eyes of the
public in the light of fancee if they are
not willing to have their engagement
announced to the whole world.
There is case within the circle of our
own acquaintance Of a pair so devoted to
each other that it is but reasonable to
suppose that they are engaged. but the
girl opened her heart to the writer the
other day, and in indignant protest de-
clared that as fond as she was of the
man in question she could not for her
own sake let him so on in the way that
compromised her in the eyes Of her
friends. II know he intends to marry
me, but he has not asked me yet right
out to be his wife. BY hundred little
ways and signs | know he has no other
thought for me save to marry me sonle
day, but I can't say this to people when
they ask ME if we are engaged, and SO
just feel that it is my duty to break with
him, Int what excuse have for 50 doing.
l can't tell him the real reason, That
would be too much like begging him to
propose to me, but don't you see can't
20 on as we have been doing. If l were
really engaged to him 1 wouldn't mind
waiting a thousand years, if such a fate
were necessary, but this horribly equivo-
cal position is more than l can stand"
There is the case i'll a nut shell, and
there are thousands more like it. Men, if
you love a woman we'll enough to marry
be detrimental to her. Until you can be-
come engaged, refrain from paying atten-
tons that are SO marked that they keep
other admirers away, and cause her
many unpleasant personal queries from
those most Interested in her. 1t isn't
manly, it isn't fair, and when you are
tempted because of the pleasure you take
in some certain woman's society to mo-
nopolize her without a definite under
standing between you and willingness
to have an engagement made public you
are stopping to something that is un-
worthy, and causes the object of your
mistaken devotion many more hours of
anxiety than of pleasurc.-Philadel

WHY VICTORIA is PROUD.
She Fnncies that She is the Gre attest Pc
Snn in rho Wnr1A

She Fancies that She is the Gre atest Per-
son in the World
Someone who has just returned from
a summer abroad was fortunate enough
to catch a glimpse of Queen Victoria, or,
rather IL series of glimpses, SO that she
was enabled to study the royal manner
and carriage as we'll as face and figure.
that has been often said of the Queen
is quite true She is fairly untidy in APP
pearance, with not only dowdy dress, but
that dress dusty and askew. And yet
there is a majesty in that understood
homely woman that is positively star
thing, and it is not the luster of her name
+ or her position that almost awes one who
sees Queen Victoria for the first time.
Literally, she can scarcely remember
what it is not to be the foremost figure
in the universe; for where another ruler
might question the superiority of Eng
land. he would always yield precedence
to the woman, if not to the sovereign.
'And then. she regards her country as
supreme. and of course, herself supreme
in it. How could the fact that one con-
sidered herself absolutely the greatest
person on earth for overhaul century
fail to give one an air Of consequence"
Fish Cleaned the Vessel,
This strong fish story is vouchcd for by
Capt. Conners of the schooner G.. A.
White, which has just arrived at this
port. On her last voyage from Philadel-
phia to Boston she was followed through
the entire voyage by thousands of hungry
sea bass. The foul condition of the YES
sells bottom, covered as it was with thou
sands of mussels, was what attracted the
hungry fish. Immense shoals of the fish
were first sighted off Cape Henlopen, and
they followed the vessel all the way to
her destination, the Grand Junction
wharf. Boston. When the schooner
neared Cape Cod the presence of the fish
was signaled to the fishermen of the
cape, who came off in all kinds of craft
and scooped the fish up by the hundreds
OF bushels. Even this did not seem to
phase the fish at all, and when the vessel
reached her wharf another good haul was
made: It had been intended to dock the
vessel at Boston, but when she got there
it was found that every particle Of for
greedy fish and docking was unnecessary,

PECULIAR FISH.
The Inhabitant of the Deep IL Called a
Winged General.


Winged General.
One of the most extraordinary speci-
mems of the fish family is the nam
hal gnan," or great general Of the South
sea. an animal of the whale species,
which has it's home in the Indian ocean
A full-grown nam is upward of thirty
FIVE feet in length, pure black in color,
and has eyes as large as a saucer. Be
sides the above Characteristic features,
which may be said to be whalelike, with
the exception of the eyes, the nam has
two immense tusks, which resemble
those of the elephant, both in size and
color, and two queer winglike mem
branes extending along its sides from the
side fins almost to the tail. The old
mans have a curious habit of marshaling
their kind to do battle with the whales
and the sharks. and old mariners say that
they maneuver with so much intelligence
and sagacity that they are known to all
the islanders by names which signify
winged generals, winged warriors. or
winged chiefs of the seas. The National
museum at Berlin has a fine mounted
snecimen of this Queer Xarlike fish
