Az ingenious application OF the
horseshoe magnet is found in tack
hammer recently invented The
head OF the hammer is of the ordinary
shape but the pointed end is divided
into two prongs nearly touching each
other and fattened at the tip. These
prones are magnetiled like the poles
of an ordinary magnet, and when the
hammer is introduced into a
box or paper OF tacks it
picks up one and holds it
with the head against the fiat
Tended tip. the point OF the tack di-
rectly outward. A light blow fixes
the tack in the wall, and it may then
be driven in with the other end of the
hummer. This does away with hold
ing the tack at the risk of ham
mering ones fingers. Tho new wo-
man will save herself much annoyance
and suppressed profanity by doing
her pounding with the magnetic tack

A Maine View of Bishop DOane,


Bishop Doane, says the Kennebec
Journal, is man who has earned of
late considerable fame or notoriety by
combating impressions that were well
established His recent effort in this
direction was made in a lecture on the
liquor question. In this he advanced
the idea that the proper solution of the
question was to leave it TO supply and
demand, as, if we have legal restrc-
tions to the sale of liquor, it makes poll
ticians of liquor-deaers and saloon
keepers and political center of the
bar-room. We hardly expect the good
bishop to follow out his argument to
logical conclusion, because to do so
would argue that he best get out of the
pulpit, 30 long as the church shall con-
tinue to advocate human law and order,
for it follows that if restraint of rum
selling compels rum-sellers to resort to
politics in self-defense, and makes of
otherwise billiards astute politicians, 30
does the legal restraint of sin-a re-
straint that in general Bishop Doane as
a preacher is supposed to advocate
compel his satanic majesty to resort to
arts and wiles, as ne would not other
wise be compelled to do. We await
Bishop Doane's argument in favor of
leaving sin and the devil to the laws of
supply and demand.

A Medal of Napoleon III.

Napoleon the Great was scdulous coiner
OF medals of victory as all numismatic
collectors are aware. His nephew initiated
him in this practice, although his oppor-
tunities for this kind Of self glOrincation
were of course not 50 numerous as those of
his uncle. a collector of Rappoltsweiler
informs The Tagcblatt that he is the Dos.
SCISSOR OF very rare medal for which Ma
poleon Ill ordered die to he made and
OF which the specimens would now be
extremely plentiful but for the battle of
Sedan. On one side of the medal is the
profile of Louis Napoleon, whose head is
crowned with the laurel of victory and the
inscription, Napoleon III, Imperator. &"
On the other stand the sanguine words.
p" FINS GermaniR, 1870" The medal is
OF some white metal, possibly silver, and
Is somewhat larger than an English half

rather inclined to think that it is only the
speculation of n certain business firm

To a Little Girl.

The following was written by the late
Eugene Field, only few days before
his death, in answer to letter from a
little Boston girl, telling him she loved
him and read his books:
Dear Little Ludy:-I thank YOU
very much for your charming letter. 1t
pleases me greatly to know that away
off in Massachusetts there is little
girl who reads and likes what write.
Not so very long ago, was little boy
in Mass ,chusetts; maybe that is why
love the Massachusetts, people so very
much, for indeed my b, art turns often
and tenderly to them and to their dear
old hills and pleasant valleys l have
several boys of my own now. When
they are older, shall send them down
to Massachusetts to see the girls there.
1T ever you see fine young fellow COM
ing down your street and crying at the
top of his voice, Where, oh, where is
the charming Miss Cherry Nichols?'
you must know he is my boy. And
you'll be gracious to him, will you not?
Well, | must stop now, for must go
out and shoot buffalo or two for sup.
per. Be sure to call on me if ever you
come to this wild prairie town. AL
ways affectionately your friend,

1t appears from the speech OF the
Hon. John Griffin Carlisle at the
Chamber of Commerce dinner, last
week Tuesday night, that he is in favor
of the legal tender notes and still OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver.
Excellent opinions, but they leave
something to be desired. What the
Chamber of Commerce and the rest of
the country wanted to hear from Mr..
Carlisle was clear and definite state
ment of the means, if any, whereby
the administration proposes to fill the
gaping holes made in the treasury by a
tariff for bunco only. How do Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle expect to
make up the deficit? What devices for
raising revenue have they got in their
heads /? Where and how are they going
TO get the money to pay the expenses
OF the government, economically or
otherwise administered Mr.. Carlisle
seduously avoided giving any informa.
ton as to the points in regard to which
information is needed. His speech was
as timely and filling as last years
almanac. 1t might as well have been
made ten years ago, if he had not hap
pened to be silver man at that time,
as Tuesday night. 81 have but little
to say" he began. He said it. Mighty
little. Mr.. Cleveland is keeping his
profound and illuminate finance for the
message now on the stocks.-New

1t Makes Such a Difference.

A Linn Grove girl found package
Of love letters that had been written to
her mother by her father before they
were married. The daughter saw that
she could have little sport and read
them to her mother, substituting her
own name for that of her mother and q
fine young man for that of her father.
The mother jumped up and down in her
chair, shifted her feet, seemed terribly
disguised and forbade her daughter
having anything to do with a young
man who would write such sickening
and nonsensical stuff to girl When
the young lady handed the letter to her
mother to read, the house became SC

There's little girls heart that was broken tonight
When told her Of Little Boy Blue,
And that the one who wrote tender Of him
Had sailed Off in his wooden shoe;"
" Sailed a river OF misty light"
Never for us to view,
Quickly and swiftly into the night,
And into the sea of dew"
There's little boys heart that was broken tonight
As he left his trinkets and play;
And told him the prince of his story books
Was sleeping the night away
:" Sailed on river of misty light"
While in his land of Nod
Quickly and swiftly into the night,
Touched by angel Of God.
There's an old fellows heart that is sad might
As he reads them again,

And the tracings of his pen
:" Sailed on river Of misty light"
Out from the shores of Now,
And safe on the sands of over There
Has grounded the Roatman's PROV
There's many heart that is sad to night
As we look on the printed page.
And the merry Jingle for boy and girl,
The wit of the mask aud save

But happy is he over there.

Is It a Necessity?

With each year the practical. necessity of
a college education for women becomes
more apparent, especially for the woman
sohoolteacher. She who was a graduate
always commanded higher salary than
the teacher who had not had such advan-
tages, but now many educational institu-
tions refuse to accept nongraduates as
teachers at oil. This advance in the edu
oational standard has but one drawback.
Like everything else, good education
costs more than poor one. Hundreds of
eager girls obliged to earn their own live
lihood are therefore handicapped In so do
ing by lack Of means to obtain college
education. 1t is for such as these that the
need of free scholarships and any other
means that will help them to help them
selves Is so strongly felt. With the ad-
vance in educational standards there
should also be an advance in the means by
which those standards may be reached -

A Woman Suffrage Vote.

The vote in Massachusetts, on the
woman suffrage question, says The
Outlook, is in many respects very signi-
fcant. Nothing was politically settled
by this vote. Its purpose was only so
to indicate public sentiment as to aid
the legislature in its action, but the in
dication is so far conclusive that it is
hardly conceivable that the legislature
will impose suffrage on women. In
total vote OF 275,000 the majority
against woman suffrage was over TO-
900. The vote was unprecedently large,
showing a widespread interest in the
question at issue. The vote for gov.
ernor was, however, $4,000 more than
the vote of both men and women on the
woman suffrage question, and it is safe
to say that the non-voters were either
mildly opposed or wholly Indifferent to
the extension of tie suffrage. In other
words, out of 1926 900 male voters only
about $4,000, or less than one-third,
are in favor of making this radical
change in the political constitution. The
women's vote was still more significant.
There were a little less than 16, 800
women's votes cast for suffrage. AS it
was the policy of the anti-suffragists
not 10 vote, and as the suffraglsts were
urgent to bring out the largest vote pos
sble in 80 critical an election, it is safe
to assume that the non-voting women
were, with very rare exceptions due to
sickness or accident, opposed to woman
suffrage. That in such critical cleo.
ton as this less than II 900 women in
the entire state of Observation-Disclosures
is, less than one in fifteen of the author
lied women voters of the state-could
be found to express desire for the
suffrage, seems to us conclusive dem
onstration that at present the women
do not wish the ballot. Under these
circumstances to enact woman suf-
frage would be to impose suffrage upon
class unwilling to receive and exer-
else it, and this would be of itself a con-
elusive objection to the proposition,
even were there no other.
