Advice to Americans.
NV advice to every American working

tcct his own rights and the rights and
privileges Of his family and not to fol-
low the whims, cries and falsehoods of
the frcc-trade politician who seeks to
have goods imported into the United
States which are made by cheap paupcr
labor because he thinks the goods can be
sold cheaper than IL they were made
in America.
If the wages of the American working
men arc not reduced To the standard of
those in England. and the goods are not
made in America. he has no money

MAILING FORD.

There has been much speculation for several weeks as to the amount of the bill of expenses for the recent borough account investigation, which would be represented by Attorney Harrison for his work. The amount, $650, is a surprise to some and to those who have had experience in lawyers bills it is no surprise. There is not as much criti- cism heard on the largeness of the bill as there is of the action of the warden and board of burgesses in selecting 8 lawyer, instead of an expert account ant, to do the work.
 The following has been posted on the sign post:
 Notice is hereby given that there will be meeting of the legal voters of the Central school district of the town of Wallingford, holden in the town hall in said district of the town on Monday evening, April 27, 1896, at o'clock, for the following purposes, to wit: To con- slider and act upon the question of pro- viding more school rooms, either by building an addition o the school buildings we already have. or by erect ing new building on the land we all ready own or by purchasing land and erecting new buildings thereon, or in any other way that may seem wise to the meeting, and if deemed advisable to make an appropriation therefor and to authorize the committee to borrow sufficient money to pay the same, and to do any other business proper to be done at said meeting.

Western Union, Missouri Pacifis, Con- solidated Gas and the grangers, Lack awanna, Distillers, American Cotton Oil, Reading and Wheeling and Lake Erie were all prominent, rising F to 8 per cent The demand for the last named was stimulated by the an nouncement by President Blair that the company had secured business for the
 
 the road, including the new equipment ordered early in the year. The jump in Distillers was due to purchases by friends of the reorganization commit tee, who claim that the company's financial affairs have improved mate rially. Taken altogether, the dealings were unusually well distributed and the feeling was decidedly bullish.

Facts Recorded In Wool.

1.-THE sheep from which that wool
was cut" said a wool commission man
on Michigan street, didn't have
enough to eat during February and
March. How can I tell? Why, there
Is a weak spot in the wool which was
made during those months. Anything
which affects the growth of the sheep,
whether prolonged dry weather In the
summer or disease or want Of food In
the winter, Will show In the wool just
as accurately as the heat or cold Is
shown in a thermometer"
The wool business" he continued.
'is like every other; 1t Is full of little
details that are surprising to an out
slider. You ask any wool dealer who
has aver handled New England wool
and he will tell you the clippings of
sheep from the same breed On oppo-
site sides of the Connecticut River, one
In New Hampshire and the other In
Vermont, differ from each other. On
one side of the river Is q granite soil
and on the other a limestone soil, and
the difference In grass grown on these
two soils makes a difference in the
wool. Now. the rich black prairies of
Illinois make a wool from the same
of sheep which is quite a little
coarser than the wool of the sheep
grown on the finer grass of Ohio and
Pennsylvania. The fiber of the Illinois
wool is not so clear, dense or strong as
that produced in Ohio."-Free Press.

A Wonderful Material,

The peat. or turf, taken from the
Irish boys, Is used as fuel in the man
ufacture of cloth, and when subjected
to great pressure becomes as hard al
ebony and may be used for a variety
OF mechanical purposes. After being
washed, dried and leased 1t presents
the appearance Of an exceedingly
coarse brown fabric. After further
cardings it changes to a delicate,
creamy, chocolate-colored fber, which
can be spun into yarn or 10Y into
wooden goods. 1t can be bleached to a
snowy whiteness and dyed any color.
1t can be produced for one-third the
cost Of shoddy, and in the finer makes
the appearance is equal to tweed. Sew.

lates primarily to the production Of

side with q liquid dye OF the proper
color to represent any desired wood.
The dye IL applied by can Of a

had no intention Of attracting otner

had assumed that It would be as Easy
to prospect for gold in Guiana as I'D
California, regarded him as the author
of their misadventure, and lnduised
freely In threats Of vengeance. NO
harm came to him, however, because II
Is not q light matter to violate the laws
in British Guiana. As these ana
miners had no money, they were unable
to prospect, which requires a more OF
less expensive outfit; and they could not
find employment in the diggings for the
reason that white men are not EN-
on the placers, except as man
ayers; and in fact nearly all the man,

In getting away; some Of them reached
