Misleading.

HARRISBURG, N. c., May 90
The dissatisfaction over RusselPs
nomination seems to increase every
day in this section. One of the
leading colored politicians re.
marked the other day that he
positively would not vote for Rus
sell under any consideration. He
hates the Democrats but says he
would vote the Democratic ticket
in preference to the Republican
nominee. He is a man of inhu.
enee among the dusky brethren
and can control many votes.

The Senate has only added
about six millions To the defcien.

are still being made, but the total
thus appropriated for the next

last Congress, and at least s15,.
100000 beyond the appropriations

ton whatever has been made 10

legislating for an increased deficit.

While Yet Lying.

There is something horrible in the
mere mention Of the fact that hui
man being has been buried alive,
and yet, shocking as it is, there is a
tribe on one Of the Philippine ISL
ands known as the Ahetas, who have
the cruel custom Of burying the sick
before death. So soon as a high
fever sets in the patient is taken out
Of his cot, wrapped in his old
clothes, and rudely deposited in the
grave. No sooner has the body been
placed in the grave than it becomes
at once apparent to his relatives,
according to their traditions, that
his death must be avenged. Ac-
cordingly the warriors of the tribe
sally forth with lance and arrow to
slay the first living creature they
encounter, whether it be man, wo-
man, child, or wild beast. When
thus in quest of an expiatory victim,
they take the precaution of break
ing off young shoots of the shrub as
they pass by, leaving the broken
ends hanging in the direction they
are going as warning to travellers
and neighbors to shun that path.
Even should one of their own peo-
pie be the first to meet the avengers,
they dare not suffer him to escape.

and spoke in detail Of the recent
Encyclical and apostolic" letter,
which, he said, had finally settled
the question of the validity OF Angli-
can Orders. The Pope's well-known
large mindedness and sympathies
would have naturally led him to
avoid an unfavorable judgment had
it been possible to have done SO;
but the facts and the evidence adj

Invented During a Dream.

One Of the most valuable patents
now in operation is said to have
been the result OF dream. An
engineer named Springer had been
trying to devise an automatic lock
which would brake carriage going
down hill, so that the driver would
not have to get out, hut might lock
the brake by pulling his horse in.
He dreamed that he was driving
down steep hill and had just such
lock on his wagon. He noticed
exactly how it was constructed, aud
on waking he got up and sketched
the details of the mechanism. Then
he went to bed again. Three days
later be applied for patent, which
was granted. 1t yielded fl5,0O0 the
first year.

SAMPLES.

Careful inquiry at the leading dry
goods stores in this city shows that but
few OF them give samples indiscrimi~
nately nowadays All of them prefer to
send samples by mail. The average GUS
toner who asks for samples is requested
TO leave her name and address and the
goods will be forwarded to her. This is
especially the case if she wants what is
called a cline of samples''-that is,
pattern upon pattern of the same style
and species. Every big shop employs it's
fifties of persons whose duty it is to at
tend to nothing save the cutting and
sending of samples "We never spend
less than $3.50 year in goods to be
cut up for samples, - said the mail de-
partment manager Of one firm, land
sometimes the sum is much larger" It
is generally understood among dry goods
houses that all samples sent are to be
returned. Of course dressmakers are al.
ways favored with samples, which they
are not requested to return nor pass
along to their next door neighbor. They
are privileged because remunerative
class, The new order of things in the
sample line is due to the crazy quilt
fad, which cost many merchants a lot
of money aud no end of annoyance.

The Boring of Glass.

Strong glass plates are bored through
by means of rotating brass tubes of the
necessary diameter, which are filled
with water during boring. To the water
there is added finely pulverized emery.
1t is said that thinner glass can be per-
forated with holes in an easier manner
BY pressing q disk Of wet clay upon the
glass and making a hole through the
clay of the width desired, SO that at that
spot the glass is laid bare Then molten
lead is poured into the hole, and lead
and glass drop down at once. This
method is based upon the quick local
heating of the glass, whereby it obtains
circular crack, the outline of which
corresponds to the outline Of the. hole
made in the clay. The cutting Of glass
tubes, cylinders, ETC., in factories is
based upon the same principle. New

The Cause of Rainfall.

Rain is, as we all know, the moisture
Of the atmosphere condensed into drops
large enough to fall with perceptible
velocity to the earth. The variation in
the sizes Of the drops is dependent upon
the difference in the height from which
they have fallen and to the amount of
atmospheric disturbance present at the
time If they fall from great heights,
the drops suffer gradual division into
smaller and smaller parts until they are
at last converted into mists. In calm
weather, with the clouds near the earth's
surface, the drops are apt to be large
and heavy. The formation of rain is in
general continuation or an enlarge
ment of the processes by which clouds
and fogs are formed. The deposition of
moisture depends upon the cooling of
the atmosphere, but concerning the pre-
else process by which the cooling is ef-
fected various opinions are entertained
even among those who have made me-
teorology a life study. In considering
the matter we have deduced our reck-
onings from what is considered the best
authority on the subject. From this it
appears that the temperature of a given
mass of warm air is lowered in the or
binary course Of atmosph ophenomena
by one or the other of the processes
mentioned in the following By radia-
ton to the cold sky, by radiation to the
nelghboring masses of clouds or the
cold ground, by mixture with cool air
or by the absorption Of heat in the ex-
pansion Of ascending columns Of air.
Whatever the process may be, one thing
is sure-the cooling must take place be-
fore the moisture will collect into drops
of sufficient size to cause them to fall
from the mass of vapor in which the
constituent parts have been floating

however, il ground less, and scientific:
reasons are given why the prevailing
color is for all purposes the most suit
able that could Be selected.
In the first place, scarlet affords the.
best attainable protection against the.
extremes Of heat and cold to which sol
diers are liable to be exposed The darker
the color protecting q warm body the
more rapidly radiation proceeds White
would be the best color to reduce radia-
tion to minimum, but white is barred

the grays. Scarlet or red comes midway.
between white and black or other dark
oolors, while with reference to protec-
tion from the sun scarlet takes far
higher place than any Of the blues,
greens or drabs and other shades often
used for military clothing.
Yellow and orange are excluded be-
cause these colors are particularly con-
spicuous at a long distance. Although
scarlet or red is more conspicuous than
gray, when the sun shines directly on
the troops it blurs on the sight and is
consequently more difficult to hit.
With existing rifles the actual result
Of a fight is usually decided at q dis
lance just outside the effective range Of
the weapons. This distance lies between
900 and 500 yards Nearer than that it
ia impossible to close without replying
to the enemy's fire, and as soon as the
return fire whistles about the defend
ers' heads the possibility of aiming rap
idly and accurately decreases.
Therefore, from this point of view,
it is unimportant whether the object to
be hit is conspicuous or not, but from
moral point of view it is serious CON
sideration. Within 700 yards each sub.
sequent advance is conditioned by fire
superiority already achieved, the de-
tenders are shaken, the time for count
ing heads is past, and the mental i'm
preston conveyed by the sight of the
assaulting troops becomes the main
point. -s...*
1t is distinct advantage that our
men should bulk large in the decisive
stages of an encounter, and there is no
color which enables them to do this SO
effectively as scarlet. On the whole,
therefore, every scientific consideration
justifies the retention of scarlet as the
best uniform for our troops. Strand

The Science of Smiles.

The gentle art of smiling is the latest
thing which science has been meddling
with, tracing back to it's very beginning
and pointing out with something like a
sheer how this facial expression first
came to adorn the face of primeval man.
Mr. Edward Cuyer, in recent lee
ture in Paris before the Societe dan
thropologie, stated that our smiles, how
ever winning to outward seeming, are
simply records Of our very remote an
cestors' selfishness, greediness and pug
nacity.
The passion that dominated all others
in primitive man was :, the desire for
food. The animals of those days were
huge and fierce, and the implements of
hunting few and crude. The naked
hunter, therefore, was forced to go Oft
times with an empty stomach, but
when he made kill he gorged himself
with meat The anticipation of the ap-
preaching satisfaction of his hunger
caused him to open his mouth and show
his teeth, partly through pleasure and
partly through an instructive impulse
W Set himself IN readiness Tor the I'M.
mediate slowing away of his food
With the progress of civilization,
however, this facial contortion grew to
be caused by other pleasurable things,
and then came the sound of audible
laughter. II. ~. s zs i.

ltor who anticipated a good time when
he had people to dinner for dinner.
Again, the open smile Of more open
pleasure is simply survival Of the gap.
