Cr,lSllite.

The results accomplished by the
use of "crushite," a new material
for saving and polishing granite,
stone and marble, arerepresented as
quito remarkable, the material con-
sisting simply of minute chilled cast
metal shot varyingin size from mere
powder to clover seed size. Blocks
of granite are now being sawed with
this instead of sand at the rate of
four inches in depth and hard grit
stone at nine in depth an hour with
10 blades in the machine. It is su,
perseding diamond saws and is
claimed to be capable of doing the
same amount of work at one-tenth
the cost, and is also being employed
in sand blast apparatus in place of
sand and in substitution of diamond
drills for boring and drilling. The
statement is made that in saving
and polishing one ton of this mate
rial is equal to about 300 tons of the
sharpest sand. The tiny balls are
chilled to intense hardness without
being brittle, and when struck on an
anvil they indent the latter. As the
action of orushite is to roll between
the blocks and the saw blade or rub
Der, doing it's work by crushing, it
retains it's spherical shape and out
ting or crushing power, and as it
does not become partially imbedded
in the blade or rubber, as in'the case
with sand, emery, etc., it is rolled
backward or forward, smoothing the
surface by crushing the projecting
parts of the block that's being treat
ed.

SuperstitiOns.

1t Ia curious that in the isle of
Man the term butch or witch is ap-
piled to either sex. As proof Of
this we may mention that writer
in The Mona's Herald newspaper of
Jan. "A, 1914, in commenting on a
famous witohcraft case which had
recently been adjudicated upon, re-
marked, According to popular be-
lief, if the witch swears he has not
done it and does not wish to do it,
he cannot witch again. Another
curious and novel idea is that it was
supposed to be possible to manufac-
ture witch. The method of doing
10 was given to our informant by an
old man aboutsthe year 1875, who
said that he had it from the victim
herself, then an old woman. An old
woman who had practioed witch

part of her life had grown very fee-

A Persistent Dog.
TSCHIGORIN.
IASkER.

A persistent Dog.
The Indians at Yukatat. Alaska
were getting ready to go to Olsen
onantment bay to hunt seals anu get
the oil for winter consumption.
Everyb body was going, big and little,
and the village would be deserted
until the hunt was over, with only
the disconsolate dogs to watch it.
The canoes which had been lying
high on the beach out of the way of
possible harm from tide or swell
were showed out into the water.
They are heavy, ungainly things,
dug out of logs. Sometimes they are
so feet long. It will puzzle a white
man a good deal to navigate one Of
them, but the Indians are as much
at home as if they were in their
houses. An Indian baby learns to
paddle almost as soon as he learns
to walk. That method Of locomotion
has been the general one for so long
that the whole race is developed tire.
mendously in the arms and chest,
but has short, rather weak legs.
When the canoes were in the wa
ter, the work of loading them be-
gan. The members of each family
gathered up their traps and piled
them in-bundles of. blanketsaand
skins, household utensils, pots, E6t-
ties and pans, dried salmon, provi.
sions from the store, oil in tin cans
and bark pans to hold it. Every fel.
low took q hand at loading, little or
big, and every fellow seemed to
chuck his load into the canoe, hit or
miss, without regard to trim. It was
q wild, indiscriminate higglety pig
gletyness, but somehow it rode all
right. + Z,
A decent, self respecting whale
boat would have got angry and tip
ped over, but not dugout resented
its treatment. After all the. dufae
had been chuoked in the big Indians
put in the little ones. Then the
squaws climbed in. After that the
men got ready to shove out. The
dogs stood around by the dozen,
whining and begging to be taken
along. Once in awhile man would
grab dog by the nape of the neck
and throw him on top of the pile OF
baggage. It was a marvel that the
sorambling dogs didn't upset the
whole thing.
One man had two dogs and not
much room. He chucked one in and
paid no attention to the pleading of
the other. The dog was persistent,
but his only reward was cuff on
the ear. The man went back up the
beach to his house to get last some
thing, and the dog waded out and
climbed into the canoe. The Indian
ran back, grabbed him by the soruf
of the neck and threw him out on
the beach,. The dog waited minute
and then waded out and climbed in
again. This time the Indian threw
him out harder, but the dog wasn't
discouraged. He shook the water
out Of his fur and wagged his tail.
When he thought he had g, good
chance, he waded out and climbed
into the canoe the third time. The
Indian swore by his totem and drag
ged the dog up the beach. Before
he could get back, to push the canoe
of the dog had run out into the wa
& ter again and climbed up into the
canoe The Indian hit him clout
on the nose with his fist, and the
dog lay down and shivered. Then
the Indian pushed of. everybody
got to work at the paddles, and the
whole crowd went off peaoeably and
marvelously upright. The dog had

A Southern Game.

C. A. Hamilton, the Washington
correspondent of the Rochester Post
Express, tells an interesting but
somewhat Improbable poker story
which he heard while riding through
the streets of Knoxville.
Colonel Hart of Knoxville, y said
Mr.. Hamilton, twas our escort dur
ing our stay in town, and as we rode
by an imposing building the colonel
said:
Now, see that bank? In its
vaults are deposited one of the most
peculiar special deposits ever put
into a bank anywhere in the coun.
try. Right after Sherman's army
left Tennessee and was we'll on
its way to Atlanta there was a
party of southern gentlemen who
invaded here in Knoxville. They
sat in a game of poker. They were
General Cabaniss of Georgia, Colo
mel Culperper of Virginia, Major
Brown and Colonel Atkins of Ten
nessee. The game went along for
an hour or two without any particu-
lar incidents, but at last General
Cabaniss and Colonel Culpepper
found themselves pitted against each
other with excellent hands. There
was no limit to the game. After the
cards had been drawn Colonel Cul-
pepper planked down 500 in COM
bined Confederate and United States
money. General Cabaniss raised
him 800 more, using the same sort
of currency. Colonel Culpepper saw
the raise and tilted it $500. General
Cabaniss saw this $500 and raised
him $1,000, and so the game went
on for an hour longer, when each
gentleman saw he had exhausted
his ready funds, but still neither
was prepared to call.
"'"You will excuse me-" said
Gen. Cabaniss. 4 have no more funds
with me, but want to see your last
raise, colonel, and just tilt you
81, 600 more for luck. If you will
pardon me, I will 60 out and raise
the necessary funds.
/" The courtly Virginian was, of
course, willing to accommodate his
friend and comrade and readily &C.
guessed. General Cabaniss was gone
nearly an hour, but finally came
back with the funds Then Colonel
Culpepper demanded the same priv
ilege. By the time he returned the
night was spent, and the business of
the day had started in the stores
and warehouses of Knoxville. Gen.
eral Cabaniss demanded the privi-
lege of raising again. 1t was, of
course, accorded him, but as each
gentleman recognized that there
might be some delay it was decided
that the stakes and each hand
should be sealed up in envelopes and
deposited in a bank. There those
hands and the stakes have been ever
since. Every two or three months
at first and afterward every two or
three years Colonel Culpepper and
General Cabaniss have walked into
that bank, deposited the last raise
and tilted her again. Nobody knows
what those envelopes contain, as
neither gentleman has shown the
slightest disposition to call. Al
though so many years have passed
since the hands we're dealt, the pot
has not yet been won by either.
Some of the seourities-the Confed-
crate currency, for instance-are of
little or no value today, but elimi-
mating all the Confederate and
doubtful paper the pot locked up
there in that bank is probably one
of the most valuable ever played for
