The second Sunday after the partition
of goods the entire Coule' turned out to
church in spite of the muddy road. The
men, after driving up to the door Of the
little white church and helping the women
to alght. drove out to the sheds along the
fence and gathered in knots beside their
wagons in the warm spring sun. IT was
very pleasant there and the men leaned
with relaxed muscles upon the wagons. or
sat on the fence with jack-kHives in hand.
The horses slept with closed eyes and
dropping lips. Generally the talk was
upon seeding, each man Dragging of the
number of acres he had sown during the
week. but this morning the talk was all
about the division which had come be-
tween the nicces Of deceased Williams"
They discussed it largely as one might eat
a choice pudding in order to extract the
flavor from each spoonful.
What is it all about, any how?' asked
Jim Cranky. Il amt heard nothing about

 MT. Harvey could not be found last night, but his private secretary, Miss Hix, said the money was drawn out so it could be shown to the peo- pie.
 "You see, she said, eMr. liar vey is expecting to go out on a long lecture tour, aud he wants to take the money with him as an object lesson. 1 think he intends to prove with the money that all the gold in the world would make cube not over twenty-two feet square, as he states in his School.

 q went with Mir. Harvey to the First National Bank safety deposit vaults, where he left it for safe keep ing. He had an awful time getting the money from the Metropolitan National Bank, and it finally re- quired special order from Mr. Hitchcock and a promise from MT. Harvey to bring it all back before election day.
 When Miss Hix was asked if Mr. Harvey was was not running con- siderable risk carrying so much gold around with him, she said she presumed he intended to shipit from town to town. He would have to carry it to and from the lecture, however.

Secretary Says It is to Be Used as an Object Lesson. Hard Time Getting the
 Cash.
IChicago Tribune. l.

W. H. Harvey, composer" and publisher of Coins Financial School, drew out $2, 300 which he had on de- posit with the Metropolitan National Bank yesterday-drew it out in gold-and locked it up in an iron box in the First National Bank safe deposit vaults, out of the reach of the free silver panics and financial disaster.
 It took just one hour for Mr. Har- vey, who is regular depositer of the Metropolitan National, to induce the paying teller of the bank to hand out the gold, and the demand of the author of ''Coin" finally had to be be backed up by an order from Cashier Hitchcock of the bank.
 MT. Harvey went into the bank with his private secretary, Miss Josie Hix, and a canvass sack for his money. He made out check

for E, 800 at one of the desks, and after handing the sack to his secre- tarY stepped to the window.
 The paying teller took the check and looked to see if it was indorsed.
 T want the whole amountin in gold, if you please, said Mr. Harvey.
 The paying teller leaned against the screen and gave evidence of fainting.
 FOR AN s'oBJEcT LESSON
 Gold, did you say, Mr. Harvey? Gold? What on earth do you want with gold? Why, we can't let you have $2, 300 worth of gold. We are not paying out gold on checks now. ,"

 Well, that's just what we want to keep it for, replied the teller
 Mir. Harvey spent about thirty minutes arguing with the paying teller, while a number of the banks patrons watched the ''obiect lessor" from the corridors of the bank, or went home to talk about it.
 Finally, the man who wrote "Coinn appealed to Cashier Hitchcock. He wanted to put the money in safe deposit box, he said, but only as another object lesson to the people. After a long talk in the private of flee of the cashier, Mr. Harvey was seen to present an order to the teller to pay the amount in gol6.

 Two minutes later he and his pri- vate secretary were hurrying flom the Metropolitan Bank, on La Sale street, to the First National Bank, on Deai born street, and soon after the gold was locked up in Mr liar vey's strong box in the safe deposit department.
 Then the man who wrote 'Coinn went home, feeling that part, at least, of the money that he had made

Made In Great Variety asd for Many Diff
ferent Uses.
The best taGlls are made of imported
Swedish iron; the next grade Of Ameri
can soft steel, and the cheapest Of com
mon American iron Tacks are also
made of copper. Seine tacks are timed.
and for ship use taclIs are galvanized.
lacks are made of sizes ranging from
holf-ounce to 24-ounce. The tack COM
monty used as a carpet tack is an s.
ounce tack. 4 24-ounce tack is about
1h inches in length.
There are many kinds of tacl1s, made
for great variety of uses, and they are
put up in many different forms. There
are gimp tacks, looking-glass taclks, up
holsterers' tachs, trunk tacks, lace
tacks, basket t1cls, brush tacks, coffin
tacks, shank tacks, lasting tacks, min
crS' tacks, cheese box tacks. and tacks
FOR many other uses. Within the past
dozen years the sale of double-peinted
tacks has increased tenfcld with the
Double-pointed tacks are also used for
lacking down straw mating and for
other purposes.
Tacks that are sold in papers are put
Up in full weights, half weights, and
quarter weights, the weight indicating
the size of the package. Almost all
kinds of tacks are also sold in bulk in
E5-pound and 5o-pound boxes and in
iO0-pound kegs.
A one-oulce tack machine will ma

The iron is fed into the machine in a

Tacls that are put up in papers, are

put up mostly in little Pasteboard boxes.
These boxes are packed in larger boxes

a HOG ORCHESTRA.
The Singular Exhibition Arranged fer tn,
Pleasure of q King.

During the reign of Louis XI. OF
France there was attached to his court
one Abbot De Baigne, man of consid,
cradle wit. The abbot was somewhat
unsteady inclined, and delighted the
court with inventions of odd musical
instruments. One day the king, after
having enjoyed a hearty laugh over one
of these curious contrivaDces, and de-
string to battle this musical genius,
commanded him to produce harmoni-
Gus sounds from the cries of hogs,
This seemed an impossibility to the
king. and he prepared himself to enjoy
the discontinue Of the abbot. Much
TO his surprise, however, the abbot
readily agreed to produce them. All be
required was a sum of money, upon the
receipt of which he declared he would
invent the most surprising thing ever
heard in the way of musical atrocity.
He secured the country and secured 4
large number of hogs, trying their
voices as to pitch and quality, ana
finally, after having fully satisfied him
self, he arranged the animals in sort
of pavilion richly decorated. The day
of the trial arrived, and the king and
his court entered the pavilion prepared
for something, but greatly in doubt as
to the success of the abbot with the
hogs However, there were the hogs
sure enough, and, much to the surprise
and delight of the king, they began to
cry tremendously and in good tune,
rendering On air TINT was fairly recog,
nized. The abbot had arranged a series
of stops that were connected with the
hogs, and upon pulling one of them
out caused spike to prick the hog il
connected with, making him squeal his
note. The rest was easy, for by pulling
out the different stops he produced the
tune.-Philadelphia Press.
