that the catch has been about two
thirds of what it usually is. The fish
received now come mostly from Block

has fallen below that of 1895. the quail
ity has BEEN better. prices higher and
he fishermen have in general made
moro money. so that the season has
been. on the whole. fairly satisfactory.

By means Of All ingenious process i'll
vented by Marco Cheapponi the nan
facture of Stag tiles from blast furnace
Stag is said to be successfully carried Oh
at the smelling works of Concha i Toro,
about ten miles from Santiago de Chile.
Tho result obtained evidently realizes
an important desideratum i'll this line.
The Stag and matte, according to this
plan, are tapped from the blast furnace
into q Stag pot. and, after settling a few
moments, the Stag is poured from ladies
into molds. These are placed Oh Il hearth
which has u movable cover, and, the
molds being filed with Stag. a cover is
placed on them as we'll rs on the hearth.
A very slight heat is kept up, so that
the Stag is very slowly cooled, and
when it appears black the molds are
lifted from the hearth, and the Stag tiles
are dumped into cold water. Made in
this manner, the Stag tiles are light and
portable. and, when laid, tough and
durable. The Stag carrying a considcra.
bic mount of iron is preferred. 1t is well
known that under ordinary circum.
stances it ia impossible to produce tiles
of this class of suitable dimensions
without extraordinary means for tough
enlng.-New York Sun.

and what he wanted. Come to my

May, and he gave the nan his address.
Then he walked on q couple Of streets
farther until he met another bobby.
This one was also willing TO pose, and
he was likewise told to appear at noon
of the following day. The artist wan
dered about London for several hours
making appointments with policemen.
The next day ut 100 there was an
entire platoon of police i'll front of Phil
Nays residence. A crowd collected,
and the reason for such an array was
freely discussed. Some asserted h a n
den of anarchists had been discovered
and was about to be raided. Diners
limited at u murder or ut some other
mystery.
A few minutes after IL O'Clock Phil
May cam to tie door and invited all
the policemen into his garden. There
he lined them ny and inspected them.

for his purpose, then handed to each OF

At q recent meeting of one of the
French societies Il paper was read on
what was diagnosed as a tonsilar cough
This cough is described as violent, spas
modic and painful. 1t was frequently
accompanied by ~reflexcs in the nclghbor
ing region. and particularly by a pro
fuse watering Of the eyes. All remedies
ordinarily applied produced no effect
whatever, and as there was no cXpCctC
ration the origin of III cough has seem
ed obscure. The trouble, however, is cx-
planned by familiarity with the struC-
turc Of the tonsils. Several sets Of nerve,
center and blend at and near the outer
surface of the ~tcnsils, where they form
what is described under the name Of
tonsilar plcNus. The tOnsils are connect
ed by muscles with the apparatus Of the
larynx, IL fact which makes treatment
of the tonsils complicated and difficult.
1t is a practice to cut off tn"
tonsils, but this has been attended with
very grave results. The hearing is SOME
times affected by this arrangement IN

in which sooner or later there was not
heard some dissention or did not occur
some unpleasantries. Mr.. Ihmson
first mentions the panic of '73 and at
tributes it to the demonitization of sill
yer. Was it the demonstration of sill
yer which caused the panic of SO. We
do not know but we have read and
heard it said many times that we had,
through some reason or other, to ex-
perience a panic or great money string
ency about every 20 years We are I'M
der the impression hat we had a panic
in this country along some where
about 1898. l. so we have three 90
year intervals at the end of which was
a panic to substantiate such an asser-
ton. We think anybody and every
body will acknowledge, though, that
the panic of '93 overtops all others in
its effect Of creating misery, poverty,
distress and pauperism, suicides and
compulsory sacrifice of honor on the
part of poor struggling girls and wo-
men, who by the act Of what Mr.. Spra-
que terms the Crime of 49," were de-
prived of their only opportunity (em-
ployment in our public mills) to earn
for themselves a scanty though honor

that. If not wholly responsible. the
%ierceness of this calamity was greatly
enhanced by the unwise, imprudent
and inefficient statesmen who were at
the helm OF this great ship in her time
of need, men who were incapable Of
meeting an emergency as they should,
and in such a way as to tighten the
burden Of the people to the greatest
possible extent. Now as to the act OF
70 causing the panic of 70 let us see.
According to all statistics and authori-
ties and to those who passed through
that time, 1t is a fact that prior to 70
the silver dollar was for 40 years vir-
tually out of circulation. 1t had gone
