COME TO TEXA

The "Lone Star" is wavlng-the star of the free; Thenstrike for Texas, if men you would be. No idlers are wanted, the thrifty and wise, To wealth and high station can equally rise. Where corn, oats and cotton; the richest of
 loam, Which yields to the settlers provisions and
 home. Trees of every descri ption rise on each hand, From slluvial soil to the rich table land. Here springs are exhaustless and streams never
 dry, In the season from winter to sutumn's bright
 sky, A wide panorama of prairie is seen; Of grass of all kinds perennially green. Here millions of cattle, sheep, horses and goats Grow fat as if stall fed or fatted on oats. No poverty is found in the mighty domain, To the man who exerts either finger or brain. Here are homes for the millions, the rich and
 the poor, While Texas opens wide her hospitable door. She has thousands of acres-yes, millions-to
 sell, Yet can point without cost where pre- emptors
 can dwell. Her terms will be easy with those whom she
 deals, While security, all in their title can feel. Buy land while 'tis cheap, and the finest select, Twill, young man, prove fortune when least
 you expect. Old man, tor your children, buy, file 1t away; Godsend twill prove on some rainy day.

s.Wishb onev Penwiper.

The ''wishbone'' penwiper is a clever
idea for the small boy or girl to make
for. mamma or papa as an Easter gift.
It is a simple little affair, but is really
useful for the writing-desk. A good
sized wishbone is required for the foun-
dation. The head is made upon the up
per portion of the bone by applying black
sealing wax, with white beads for eyes.
On the head is set a cap of red cloth.
Several circles of red cloth are prepared,
edged with beads; through these the head
is thrust, the legs appearing beneath
the edge of the skirt. Sealing wax also
forms the feet On the cloth skirts,
which act as penwipers, these lines are
printed:
Once was a wishbone,
And grew upon hen;
Now l am a little slave
And made to wipe pen.

Paradise Nuts.

Nearly 5000 miles up the mighty Am
AEON river, in South America, fourishes
the paradise nut. 1t grows on a high
tree and the cap containing the fruit is
so easily broken that the vast number
of monkeys and other nut-loving animals
of the Southern jungles make away with
the crop quicker than Rhode Island
squirrels can stow away chestnuts. So
the paradise nuts are the rarest and
most costly, as we'll as the most deli
cious, that are known to commerce.
There has just arrived in Providence
a small lot of paradise nuts, consisting
of three packages, weighing, all told,
$50 pounds, and there are no others of
the sort in this country. Shipment was
by way of Brazil, Liverpool and New
York and covered distance of upward

Be tier Furnace Fires.

A Scotch engineer has devised an ar
rangement by the use of which he claims
to be able to satisfactorily deal with coal
that leaves a large quantity of ash, and
is, therefore, apt to choke the fire in
boiler furnaces. The difficulty cannot
be economically met by increasing the
air spaces between the frebars, because
such increased air spaces would allow
incomplete burned coal to pass through
into the ashpit; but, according to this in
vention, waste is avoided and the fire is
easily cleaned by means of an instru-
ment specially designed for the purpose.
This instrument is a kind of shovel made
with long handle, by means of which
it can be manipulated; and its acting
part is made like a gridiron, with slots
separated by bars. The acting part of
the instrument is slightly tapered or
Wedge-shaped in vertical section, to allow
of it's being entered under the fuel easily.
In using the instrument it is thrust along
the tops of the firebars and under the
fuel, and is then moved short distance
backwards and forwards. with the effect
of loosening the light ash and causing it
to pass through the slots of the shovel
and down through the air spaces between
the frebars into the ashpit, while the
bars between the slots of the shovel pre-
vent incompletely burned pieces of coal
from getting through.

A PATHETIC INCIDENT.
Death Blasts the Fond Hopes of Young
Cornish Miner.


Cornish Miner.
In st. Ives, Cornwall, Eng, three
years ago, Richard Rowe kissed his
young bride of few months goodbye,
and started for America to, win fame
and fortune. Richard thought he could
make enough money in a few months to,
send for his wife, but he found that
times were hard here, and with the small
pay he received, it was next to impossi-
BILE to save enough to cover the expenses
of the trip. But this year, times were.
somewhat better, and he had great hopes
of spending the long winter evenings by
his own fireside. with his wife and little.
child that he had never seen, for the little
one had come into the world a few
months after the father had left for
America But Richards hopes will never
be realized. for about two weeks ago
there came to him at Iron Mountain,
Mich, from across the ocean a black
bordered letter that told him that his.
little one was no more.
About midnight week ago Wednesday
night, while Rowe was working down
in the bottom level of the Dunn mine, he
complained of not feeling we'll, and grew
worse so rapidly that the skip was low
cred and the sick man sent up to the
surface. Before morning his complaint
had developed into most alarming case
of pneumonia, and his suffering was in
tense. He continued in the same condi-
ton until Sunday night, when his suffer
ingS were relieved by death.

Engineering Notes.

The rapid development of electricity
has opened new fields for the steam en-
CINE and the steam engineer. Every
dynamo must be run by power, and in
the great majority of cases this power
is furnished by steam engine The
man who has charge of the engine is
usually expected to take care of the
electrical machinery, and in all cases is
better able to take advantage Of his OPP
portunities. The Stationary Engineers
association, through lectures and dis
acussions, is paying especial attention to
this branch.
The United States is claimed to put
coal on the market at lower figure
than any country in the world. The
census of 1890 showed that the average
price of bituminous coal in 1889 was 80
cents per ton. The present price at the
Pennsylvania mines is 65 cents per ton,
and it costs at the mine in Illinois some
thing less than 81.
What is probably the largest boiler of
the locomotive type ever built was re-
Gently designed by E. w. Dean, me-
chanical engineer of Boston. The boiler
is ten feet in diameter, has two CORFU
gated furnaces, and has $50 Osquare feet
of heating surface.

Check Nuts.

It is common in railway practice, says
the Railway Gazette. to place two nuts
on any thread requiring a nut, and to
or lock-nut, is usually thinner than the
other, and is invariably put on last. A
little reflection will show how utterly
absurd is this practice. The nut that
does the locking presses forward the nut
on which the strain comes; the latter
transmits all the load it may be carrying
to the check-nut Therefore, if either
of the nuts is thinner than it's mate, it
should be put on first, for it becomes
not much more than a washer as regards
holding after it's companion has been
crowded upon it to lock it in place. The
outer nut has to carry the whole load,
and in addition any stress that may
have been imposed by setting the two

SHOES FROM THE MAYFLOWER.
Footgear of a Colonial Dame of $50
Years Ago.

Mrs Eliza A. Brown of Brownsville,
Me-, has in her possession a pair of
shoes which came over on the MayfioWer.
This particular pair of shoes was made
at Chatham, London, in 1417, by John
Hose, whose trademark can still be OBJ
served. Mrs. Brown inherited the shoes
from her mother, Mrs. Lydia Gilman of
Acton, Me.
Mrs. Gilman had her choice between
two pairs, the only authentic relics of
this nature of the famous Puritan expe-
dition. They are of green brocade satin,
with buckles, and tie over the instep.
The heels are made of cork and are
very light Between the soles and up
pers there is piping of white kid. The
stitching, which is visible, is done as
neatly and exactly as in any speciment
of latter-day machine work.
The shoes are an interesting example
of the rotation of fashions. Although
4SO years old, they are exactly in the
style of the fashionable indoor woman S
shoe for 1896. The toes are of the
toothpick variety, as pointed as they can
be, and turned up a little. The ancient
shoes seem to be broader at the ball of
the foot than is the vogue today The
uppers are of curious looking green bro
cade satin, the color of which has not
been impaired in all these years.
This rare old pair of shoes could be
worn by fashionable New York woman
today without exciting any comment.

ARIzoNA'S COPPER MINES.
One of the Most Valuable Properties to

One of the Most Valuable Properties to
be Sold to Frenchmen.
Arizona's copper output for 1895 was
7O,OOO,OOO pounds and it is predicted
that the output for 1896 will reach 3d.
100000 pounds. The United States
Copper company's mines at Jerome are
without doubt the most extensive de-
posits Of copper ever discovered, they
having practically a whole mountain of
copper ore, and the dividends of the
company reach into the millions. A
deal is now being consummated whereby
a French syndicate will soon come into
control of this magnificent property.
The price to be paid is not known, but it
is known that at one time an offer Of
$1O,OOOOOO was made for the property
and refused. A Chicago syndicate is
negotiating for some large copper prop
critics near Wickenburg. An expert is
now examining the properties and if his
report is favorable smelter having a
capacity Of 100 tons per day will be
erected as soon as the deal can be closed.

The Cat Lives on the Train.

Capt. Tom Hanlon, the popular conduc-
tor on the Louisville Southern railroad,
has a mascot in the shape of a brindle
cat which some one threw into the bag
at once recognized his feline omen of
good luck and adopted her. Pussy ap-
preciated this love at first sight and
stuck to the train. When the train gets
to Louisville or Lexington she jumps
off with the passengers, visits and gossips
with the other cats in the neighborhood,
lust like all females will do, and when
the bell rings she gets aboard again with
the crew. Capt. Hanlon refuses to part
with his mascot, saying his train can
never run off the track as long as she is
on board-Lexington QNy.) Argonaut.

Scratched on Glass by wilkes Booth

On August 10, 1864, John Wilkes
Booth was playing dramatic engage
ment in Meadville, Pa. Upon his arrival
TO the city that day, he registered at
the McHenry house, then kept by r.
M. u. Taylor, and after the performance
in the evening retired alone to his ROOM
When the servant entered his room the
next morning, after Booth had left the
hotel and city, an inscription was dis
covered scratched in a large hand on
one of the window panes: "Abe Lin
coin departed this life August 10, 1864,
by the effects of poison" Little atten-
ton was paid to the writing on the glass
at the time; but as soon as it was
learned that Booth had killed the Presi-
dent, the circumstances connected with
the window Inscription were recalled, the
glass was removed from its sash, framed
in a plain black wooden frame, a piece
of dark velvet being placed at its back
to facilitate reading, and the signature
of Booth entered on the register on Au-
gust 13 was cut from the book and at
tached to the windowglass. The origi,
nal pane is now in the possession of the
war department, to which it was pre-
scented by the daughter of the owner of
the hotel, Miss Mary McHenry, some
time after the assassination of the Presi-
dent. All of the circumstances in con-
nection with the glass are certified to by
Miss McHenry and by other residents of
Meadville.-April Century.
