there Is some talk about me now. To tell
the truth, I am tired of the talk, and I
have illustrated MY situation by comparing

call Sam. He Is a prominent man now, and
l dare not mention his name. Well, Sam
could not for the life of him learn Latin.
and he was kept in the same Latin book
from one term to another. At last his
teacher, in despair, said to him:
Sammy, why don't you study and get
cut Of this? Aren't you ashamed to re-
main right here in the same place week
after eek?'
Sam talked through his nose. His con-
versation was a continuous whine, and IN
reply he whined out: Yes, I am, and
would study If 1 had a new book, but
am tired of this. It's the same old thing
over and over again, and If it's not to go
any farther, want to stop it

many of the attributes which were so not
ed in Abraham Lincoln. He grew up under
the shadow of Lincoln, and his likeness to
the msrtyred President has been often re-
marked. No one would call Cullom hand
some. His frame is big, bony and angular
His figure is straight, with shoulders so
square that the arms seem to fall from
them at right angles, the whole acting as
clothes frame for his Prince Albert coat
His gestures are not graceful, and his face
in repcse is severe. When he talks, how
ever, a srlile creeps out of the corners of
his eyes, the lines of his features soften,
and you forget everything else in the i'm
preston of horest strength and good fel-
lowship which shows out of them You
soon discover that Cullom has lots of per-
sonal magnetism. and that, with it ALL he

THE CARCASS OF A HORSE.
Hafrclcth, Boots, Gloves. Combs nnd
Useful Acids Made From 1t.

Hafrclcth, Boots, Gloves. Combs md
Useful Acids Made From 1t.
From the New York World.
Horses that have served useful and hon.
orable careers of Two or thirty years are fit
orly for the chemical process. When the
retired animal is first dragged in it is re-
lieved of its hair by a shaving process.
The tail and name are especially valuable
ard from these is made the haircloth of
commerce. The short hair taken from the
hide is used for stuffing cushions and horse
cellars, and thus the dead are made to
minister to the comfort of the living.
The hide of the horse is quite valuable
al d the leather known as cordovan is made
from the skin over the rump. This leather
is used in the manufacture of high-class
kur ting and wading boots, as it can be
made impervious to water. The other
leather is soft and is used mostly for slip
rers and heavy driving gloves The hoofs
of the animal are removed and after being
boiled to extract the oil from them the
ncrny substance is snipped TO the manu-
factories of combs and what are known as
Mikado goods.
Next the carcass is placed in a cylinder
and cooked by steam at pressure Of three
atmospheres. This separates the flesh from
the bones The leg bones are very hard and
| white. and are used. for handles of pocket
and table cutlery. The ribs and head are
| burned to make bone-black after they have
In this calcining of these bones the vapors
arising are condensed and form the chief
source of carbonate of ammonia, which
constitutes the base of nearly all ammo
nical salts. There is animal oil yielded
| in the cooking process which is a deadly
| poison, and enters into the composition Of
many insecticides and vermifuges.
The bones to make glue are dissolved in
| muriatic acid. which takes the phosphate of
| lime away; the soft element retaining the
shape of the bone is dissolved in boiling
water, cast into squares and dried on nets.
! The phosphate of lime, acted upon by sui
pkuric acid and calcined with carbon, pro-
duces phosphorus for lucifer matches. The
| remaining flesh is distilled to obtain car
| bonate of ammonia. The resulting mass is
/ pounded up with potash, and then mixed
with old nails and iron of every description;
| the whole is calcined and yields little yell
| low crystals-prussiate of potash, with
| which tissues are dyed Prussian blue and
| iron transformed into steel. 1t also forms
| C! anide of potassium and prussic acid the
two most terrible poisons known in chemis-
| try.
In the course of lawsuit in St. Louis
several years ago it was put in evidence
| that the River Rendering Company, which
| had the contract for the removal of dead
| animals from the city Streets made clear
profit of S24 on each horse carcass that they
handled.

makers and grocers. 1t is the civil service
system carried to the extreme.
These state examinations are also passed
by girls. Does a young French girl require
the most simple of clerkships she must have
her brevet, her diploma from the govern
ment. In all state employments the thing
is required absolutely, and these state en-
ployments embrace large field of feminine
activity. In France there are states;
the central machine in Paris attends to
everything. What this means-to take the
example of public instruct!on-may be real
lied if you imagined every little schDolmarm
in the United States appointed, paid, visited
and controlled directly from Washington

WATER Is QUEER.
1t Will Expand When n Certain De-
gree Of Cold is Reached.
From the st. Louis Republic.

Tie
From the st. Louis Republic.
One of the most curious natural phe-
nomena, and one which has never yet been
explained by the philosophers, is that in
reference to the expansion of freezing
water. The case of water is a singular ex-
ception to all natural laws of expansion by
heat and contraction by cold, which apply
In cases of all other known liquids When
water is freezing it contracts in bulk down
to the point where the mercury reaches the
reading of 391s degrees, or az degrees above
freezing, from which point it slowly ex-
pands according to the intensity of cold.
No other liquid is known to possess this
remarkable property, except that certain
metals expand slightly in passing from a
solid to liquid state. But If heat be ap-
piled to water after it has cooled down to a
temperature of 39i2 degrees uhe point
where it is ready TO begin expanding should
greater degree of cold be applied 1t will
Immediately expand by the universal law.
But should We lower the temperature to 81
degrees it will expand by its own special
law. Another curious point to be noticed
here is this: That the amount of expansion
is as great in water lowered from 39Is
degrees down to 32 degrees as it is in
water that has been heated so that the
temperature runs up from 39Ia to AZ degrees.
These points are certainly odd and curious
and worthy of attention and experiment.
