Capt. Mike Flaherty has what is prob
ably the finest collection of cigars in ex-
istence. 1t has grown in six or seven
years from small number of queer
looking cigars, chiefly obtained from
Sandy Hook pilots, to its present proper
tons, filling three large cases. With
each cigar is its history and description.

Valkyrie's DESIGN a FaiInre

1t was neatly remarked after the first
race between Defender and Valkyrie
that, although single victory or defeat
did not settle conclusively which of two
boats was the better, yet yacht race
was not like tossing up a penny, for it's
result was usually significant and gayo
some information regarding the sailing
qualities Of either boat. Remembering
this, we are bound to assume, if reliance
is to be placed on the somewhat be.
wildering and contradictory reports OF
the race which have been cabled from
New York, that Valkyrie fails Of one OBJ,
ject Of her designers. She was de-
signed, we are told, especially to meet
the exigencies of the light and variable
airs of New York bay; yet in the ex.
tremely light airs of the first race she
was fairly beaten on all points of sailing:
and in the second race, glad as we were
to- see her win, her performance by no
means reversed the conclusions to be-
drawn from her previous defeat. Tho
unfortunate accident to her opponent
topmast backstay, slight as it was, could
not have been without effect in so close
n struggle, for even if it did not actually
prevent the use of the larger sails it
would make wise captain very tender
in their use; yet with this advantage
and the further help of starting with the
windward berth, Valkyrie only won by
4S seconds in four hours race.-Lon.

To Supersede Castiron.

Quite an interesting discovery is re-
ported-namely. a new process for i'm

steel being applied to the same. 1t is
punched out cold from the top of an
! ordinary coal range. and is so ductile
that strip one and one-half inches wide
and one-eighth of an inch thick and
twelve inches long can be wound around

at the same time, it is of such tensile
strength that a half-inch square bar.

| will carry a load of 500 pounds without
fracture. 1t is made from q mixture of
60 per cent. common scrap and 10 per

to inject steam jet into the tuyers at

great heat, forming black oxide of iron

closely coherent and adherent that the
absorption of sulphur from the coke is
entirely prevented on its course down

| new substance, which, it is claimed, will
universally supersede common castiron,
the advantages named are that the mol

Bees May be Busy, but They Steal.
The busy bees have been held up to

and i'll the meantime a large lot of honey

Reed and Mckinley as Authors.

Thomas 3. Reed was found in an ele-
vator yesterday ascending to the office
of large publishing house. Several
months ago this house decided to get out
a complete history of the works, speeches
and political career Of Henry Clay. Mr.
Reed was invited to write the general
introduction, and Maj. Mckinley was to
edit and comment upon Clay's tariff prin-
ciples. Each was to receive such an hon
orarium as would make all ordinary lit
erary man turn pale with envy. Mr..
Reed went off to the woods at the earli-
est opportunity to complete his work,
and has now delivered it to the pub
Usher. But Maj. Mckinley! Whoopee!
They have been digging at him, pound
ing him, punching him up, hustling him
along-doing everything to get him to
finish his work, but it is us far from
done as ever. Here is an illustration of
the characters of the two men, each hop
ing for the Republican nomination for
the presidency.-New York Press.
