BELLOWS HOLD THEIR OWN.
Blacksmiths Stick TO Them Notwithstand-
ing the Newer Power Blowers.

Blacksmiths Stick TO Them Notwithstand-
ing the Newer Power Blowers.
The blacksmith's bellows has three
boards. When the bellows is set up
in position the middle board is fixed
the upper and lower boards are mov-
able. There is. valve in the middle
board and one in the lower board.
When the bellows is not in use the low
CT board falls as low as the leather will
permit il, and that compartment is
then filed with air. With the work
ing of the lever and the raising of the
lower board the air in the lower COM
partment is forced through the valve
in the middle board into the upper
compartment, which is the reservoir,
whence it flows through the nozzle of
the bellows into the fire. When the
pressure from the bellows ceases the
valve in the middle board closes, and
the air is then forced out from the up
per compartment or reservoir of the
bellows by the weight of the upper
board; sometimes this board is weight
cd to make it expel the air more rapidly
and forcibly. The continuance of the
blast without the working of the lever,
caused by the gradually sinking upper
board of the bellows, may last for a
quarter of a minute; it is highly
priced Characteristic of the bellows.
The blacksmith who is alone is thus en-
abled, if he should so desire, to use
both hands at the fire; or he might go
across the shop and be back, swaying
the lever once more before the blast
had ceased.
A good bellows will last for many
years without repairs. Blacksmiths'
bellows are made in various sizes, from
twenty-four-inch to siXty-inch. The
thirty-six-inch is the size most COM
monty sold. The size is the width at
the widest point. Bellows are longer
than they are wide, and they are made
of different lengths in the same width,
ordinary, and long. There are about
fifteen bellows manufacturers in the
country, including three in New York
and one in Brooklyn.
Manufacturing and other establish
ments supplied with power FORCES are
nowadays equippedwithpower blowers:
and there are also various hand blow
ers, some operated with a crank and
some with a lever, and there are now
used many portable FORCES and blowers
combined. The sale of modern appli-
Gnces for blowing forge fires has in
creased greatly in recent years, while
the sale of bellows has not; but there
are shipsmiths and boiler makers,
wheelwrights, carriage andwagon max
ers and others who still use bellows,
and almost every horseshoer uses a
bellows, and prefers it to any other
means of blowing his fire, so that there
are still sold thousands of bellows
annually.-N. Y. Sun.

CONSCIENCE MONEY.
1t lie Almost Always Returned to thu
RIghtful Owner Secretly.

RIghtfut owner secretly.
The paying of conscience money is
rare enough in itself, but it is seldom
that such money is paid in person.
More frequently the payments are
made in such a manner that they can
not be traced to the sender. The
senior member of manufacturing
firm in one of Troy's suburbs had sim
gular experience in the matter of con-
science money one day recently. Thir-
ty years ago he was engaged in man
utacturing business in this city and
employed large number of women and
Pirls at the factory. 1t is likely that
among this number there were at least
a few who were not strictly honest, but
only one has been troubled by guilty
conscience sufficient to cause her to
make restitution. This one, now an
elderly woman residing in Philadel-
phia, came 10 Troy few days ago and
went to the Office of her former en-
ployer. She would not give her name,
but explained that when employed as
an operator in the factory thirty years
before she had on a number of occa-
sions so falsified her time sheets as to
be able to draw more than the sum to
which she was entitled. Her con-
science had troubled her all these years,
and by the direction of the priest to
whom she had confessed she had come
on from Philadelphia to make restitu-
ton. The manufacturer tried to as
sure her that the past was gone and for
gotten, and as he had never had knowl-
cdege of these false time sheets it would
be best to let the matter drop. He did
not want her money, but would freely
and fully grant his forgiveness, if that
was what she had come for. But you
must take the money" insisted the
woman, crying pitifully. "Icannotsay
exactly how much would be due you,
but I want to pay you thirty dollars and
then beg forgiveness" The manu-
facturer declined to receive the prof
fered money, but this refusal made her
weep more bitterly than ever. She as
sured him that unless he consented to
take the money it would defeat the en-
tire purpose of her long journey. In
the end she had to have her way and left
the money on the desk when she depart
ed. Truly, this is strange case, and
illustrates the power which conscience
exercises on human action.-Troy On.

PERSONAL AND lMPgRsoNAL


Christopher Columbus, direct de-
scendant of the great Genoese navi-
gator, is in Cuba, fighting for Spain.
He is sub-lieutenant of the Second
battalion, Peninsular, troops of the
line, and a nephew of the duke of
Veragua. He has a good military
record, and says he hopes to become a
captain before the revolution ends.
w S. Stratton, the Indiana car
penter who went to Cripple Creek and
is now fast becoming millionaire,
was at one time after he reached there
in the greatest restitution and is said
to have offered Senator Walcott half
interest in his mine for three hundred
dollars. Stratton is as plain and demo-
cratic man as he was before he
''struck it rich"
ITO the last" says London Figaro,
"the duke of Cambridge chung to the
idea that ne would be continued in his
Office by the new government, and it
is understood that when he received
the news at Homburg of his definite
srpersession by Lord Wolseley he was
uCtpll lllo w uOb
hesitate to say his enforced retirement
will hasten his end"
Prof Helm, Swiss savant at the
Alpine club in Zurich, declares that
one of ''the most convenient, elegant
and agreeable" of all manners of death
is that which follows fall from some
Alpine height. There is neither phys
zeal nor moral suffering, in Prof.
Helms opinion, in being hurled
through space; only delicious fine
taste of the celestial beatitudes."
One of the notorieties of Paris is
nquet, who was official coachman of
Napoleon Ill during all his imperial
career. After the latter's downfall
Linquet became driver of the hearse
for the great burial company of Paris.
He recently officiated in that capacity
for President Carnot, and had previ-
ously presided at the funerals of
Theirs, Victor Hugo and Gambetta.
Lord Verulam, who died recently
at eighty-six, was the last survivor of
the first Winchester and Harrow elev-
ems, which met in 1925, seventy years
to day before the earPs death. The
Winchester captain was Christopher
Wordsworth, afterward bishop of Lin
coin; the captain of Harrow was
Charles Wordsworth, later bishop of
st. Andrews, and on his eleven was
Cardinal Manning, who was caught
out by the bishop of Lincoln for a
goose egg.
The bicycle has not yet penetrated
to Lincoln county, Wash, but when it
does the maidens of that region will
probably make some records that will
cause some of the girls in the east who
are publicly priding themselves on
their stamina and vigor to sing more
softly of their achievements. One girl
living at remote settlement there
wanted badly to attend the Fourth of
July ball, held at the town of New
port, forty-six miles away, but could
not be spared for more than the one
day. This was all she wanted, how
ever, and she rode on horseback the
forty-siX miles to the ball on the after
noon of the Fourth, danced all through
the night, and left the ball room only
to remount her horse and ride back
the forty-six miles home, arriving
there in good season on the 5th.

turned aboard the Benmohr. DIR. Doty
said ii was by no means certain that there

Ship he said, would be held until he was
perfectly satisfied that infectious germs
were absolutely stamped out. IL was prob

EyICTIONs RESUMED.
FIournoy Company's SubIessees
Forced to Move by Indian Police.

FENDER Neb., Oct. 10.-Eviction of the
Flournoy Company's sublessees was re-
sumed this morning. Gus Swanson.
Swede. who lives about six miles north of
Pender, was moved from his house just
after breakfast. His household effects were
loaded into wagons by the Indian police
and he and his family were started Off the
reservation. Before the procession had gone
far 1t was met by ]. F. Myers, manager
for the F1ournoy company, and United
States Deputy Marshal Garrett These lat
ter Immediately inferfered with the eyic-
ton. Mr.. Meyers told the Indian police that
they must not proceed to evict I'm any
way interfere with the settlers who claim
to hold under leases from the Flournoy
company. He said ii was not the intention
of court that the eviction5 should be made
by the Indian police. but that United States
came necessary. This assurance die not
have the effect desired by the speaker, as
the Indian police questioned his right TO in
terfere. Some warm words passed and Ny
ers ended the quarrel by laying his hand on
his revolver and threatening to kill the
first Indian who meddled with a settler
Just what will occur next can only be
guessed at but IT is altogether probable
that Captain Beck will proceed to carry
out his Instructions from Washington with
out further delay or ceremony. All whites
on the reservation who hold under the
Flournoy leases are greatly worried over
the turn the situation has taken. They now
fear that they are to be turned out Of house
and home at the beginning OF winter, losing
their crops and all. II will leave many OF
them in destitute circumstances.

WRONGS OF THE INDIAN.
Evils of the Allotment System De-
picted by Ex-senator Dawes.

MOHONK LAKE. N. Y, Oct 10-At this
mornings session of the Indian confer
ence the principal speakers were d. NJ.
Browning, Commissioner OF Indian Affairs.
and ex-United States Senator Dawes, of
Massachusetts. They discussed the work
ings of the law providing for the allot-
ment to the Indians of lands in severalty.
1t is impossible. Mr.. Browning argued, to
render the Indian self-supporting SO long
as the. old tribal relations continue. Mr..
Browning read a paragraph from his an
nual report, which has just been issued,
depicting the evils connected with the leas-
ing of lands by Indians. He thought legis-
latfon was needed to prevent the sale of
whisky TO Indians and to give the Indian
department control over those to whom
need protection. At present tie Indian does
not know what his rights are and has no
Ex-senator Dawes followed. He said that
the allotment policy had been at once an
experiment and a necessity. Congress hav-
dians. found that something more was
necessary. He could not be civilized and
Chirstianized merely by intellectual train
a home. The trouble was that the law has
fallen among thieves. After the allotment
had been made the government was author

aim was to have the Indians SO disposed of
that they themselves should have the best
part of the reservation. lnsvead of the ex-

The Indians were crowded off the reserva-

government official who had to deal with
the question that he had opened more res

predecessors. The Indians. in some in
