"RObin Adajr's" ORIGIN.

Those who have leaning to the senti-
mental side of history will accept the YER
sion that the hero Of the ballad was a
young and handsome Irish surgeon, who,
finding his way into London society about
the middle Of the last century, was fortu-
nate enough to secure the affections OF
Lady Caroline keppel daughter Of William
Anne, second earl Of Albemarle, and his
wife, Lady Anne Lennox, daughter Of
Charles, first duke Of Richmond. The
match was naturally looked on with dis
favor by the family Of the young lady, and
II was during period Of temporary seps-
ration that Lady Caroline Is said to have
written the words Of Robin Adair'' and
set them to the old Irish tune Of Eileen
Aroon, which she had learned from her
lover. At length, however, love tri-
umphed, and the pair were united on Feb.
20, 1858. Within a few days Adair was
appointed inspector general Of military
hospitals, aud subsequently becoming a
favorite OF the king was made surgeon
general, kings sergeant surgeon and sur
geon Of Chelsea hospital He died In 1890,
leaving az only son, who entered the dip

BARBER SHOP STORIES.
Peculiar Things Men DO When They Go

Two years ago no came In here one night,

utes he returned and asked me IL 1 had

nothing, and he went out. He came back

almost had n fight with him about it. He
went out at last, and l never saw him
again until Monday morning. Then no
acknowledged that he had found the pin
In his trunk.
'Another time n young man, the son of
a tailor, came in. i noticed that he had
an odd looking overcoat on, but l said
nothing When he went To- leave, he said

him II the coat hanging on the rack was

father walked in and inquired about the

that it was his, and that his son had worn
it without noticing IT. That saved me
some trouble.

GOLD LETTERING.
How the Furnished Gold Letters on the
Window Pane Are Produced.

How the Furnished Gold Letters on the
Window Pane Are Produced.
The sign letterer who is putting n good
sign on window paints tho letters upon
the outside first, but these letters are only
for a guide. The gold is put upon the in
side Of the glass. The gold leaf Is so thin
and light that the faintest breath would be
enough to blow it away. It Is carried In
the familiar little books.
The letterer brushes the inner side Of
the glass back of the lettering painted upon
the outside with brush dipped In water
containing q trace Of mucilage. Then with
a wide and very thin camel's hair brush,
which he nrst brushes lightly back and
forth once or twice upon tho back Of his
head or perhaps upon bis coat, 10 dry 10 II
u needs drying and slightly to electrify IL,
he lifts from the book a section of gold leaf
sufficient TO cover q section of the lottel
and places IL on the glass. He repeats these
operations until the glass back of the let
ter painted on the front Is covered with the
leaf It may require three or four sections,
such as can be picked up with the brush, to
cover the letter or perhaps more, depend
ing on It's size and shape. When he has
completed the application Of the leaf to one
letter, he dampens the back of the next
and proceeds with that In the same man
ner, and so on until the letters are all
backed with the gold leaf.
Thus applied the gold leaf overlaps the
letters more or less on all sides. 1t Is bright
in color, like all gold, but 1t is not shining.
1t is Furnished by rubbing 1t gently Oh the
back-of course 10 cannot be rubbed on
the face. for that Is against the glass-with
a soft cloth 1t furnishes however on the
face as we'll a. on the back. Then the let
ters are backed The exact shape Of the
letter Is painted over the back of the gold
leaf to fix it and protect IL, and when the
back is dry the gold leaf projecting beyond
the outline of the letter Is brushed off, It
Is not sought tn save this projecting leaf.
There is not enough Of II to pay for the
labor that would be involved In gathering
1t together. Then the outside lettering,
which is done with paint that Is but little
more than oil, Is rubbed of, and the lus-
trous gold lettering is revealed. New

Committee Chosen to Divide
Old School District.
Catholic Institute Presented With
Handsome Set of Books.
Rev. Fr. Murphy Remembered By the Board
OF Directors-YariOus Notes.

The overcrowded condition of the Sayles-
vile school has been the subject OF much
consideration by the school committee for
good many terms, and In the opening OF
the new Fairlawn schoolhouse they see
way to remedy the past condition of affairs
in connection with this evil. Many of the
parents of young children in the neigh
borhood of Fairlawn have not permitted
their children to go to school on account
of the distance their homes were from the
Saylesville school.
In dividing the school district this fact
must be taken into consideration, in order
that these small children may have an
opportunity to take advantage OF these
new school facilities.
Supt. Draper and Messrs. Meader and
Manchester have been appointed COM
mittee to attend to this particular work,
and the public can rest assured that justice
will be done to all parties.
