Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1896-09-03

Sir Edwin Arnold, in his description
of the coronation of the Gear, contrib
utes a graceful paragraph in which he
grows sentimental over two episodes Of
the brilliant function-first, the scene
in which the Car stood erect while all
his subjects prayed for him; and, sec
ond, the scene in which the subjects
stood erect while he knelt and prayed
for them. From the sentimental stand
point both scenes were pretty, and in a
certain degree pathetic, but of what
avail Is oil this praying when good
works do not follow it? From a prac-
teal point Of view 1t would be much
more to the purpose were the Gar to
give his people some Of those reforms
for which they have clamored SO long
and so earnestly. Some measure Of
popular representation, some extension
Of civil rights, some relief from the alb
eoiute rigors Of bureaucracy, some toll
Grafton Of freedom OF opinion would do
more to appease the people Of Russia
and attach them to the government
than all the prayers which the Gear
may utter as formal adjuncts to the
ceremonies Of his coronation, especially
when those prayers are not accom-
panied by any disposition to relax the
severity of despoitc rule.

Jupiter, Venus and Apollo. But the
fad 10 not q new one. Such revolts
against the moral restraints Of Chris
tianity, and its teachings Of self-sacri-
Ace for the good Of others, have been
periodical from the dawn. OF the pres
emit era. The Partisan -voluptuaries de-
clare that life, which the Omnipotent
coda created splendid and Joyous, /"
has for nineteen centuries "been trans
formed into an abomination OF desola-
ton" They protest against submission
to the ''hideousness and despair" OF
modern existence. They cry out that
1.-The yearnings Of our souls, the thrills
and transports Of our flesh are ground
by the mill to which, like wretched
slaves, we harness ourselves" They
want to doff the fashionable attire OF
Paris, 60 back to ancient means Of loco
motion, and coneign the Ten Command
ments to the lumber room Of outworn
ideas. They ask: What is to prevent
you adopting the mode Of existence
you are wise enough to admire? Let
there be an end to ugliness and hate
full restraints of any sort. Replace
your frock coats with flowing TUNES;
scour through the city in chariots In
stead Of hired cabs; throw OF the tyr
amy Of the Ten Commandments; bring
yourself to believe that there are
nymphs in the Seine as well as drown
ed cats. All that is wanting to make
a neo-pagan Of you is little imagina-
ton and little moral courage" But
these would-be pagans will probably
get no better following in France than
those who recently started Mahom-
medan propaganda in New York were
able to secure in the United States.

A Monkeys Imitativeness

A Chicago paper details the pranks OF
a windowful Of monkeys which deal
er in animals keeps to amuse the public,
and attract attention to his business.
There Is almost always crowd watch
ing them.
One day lately man came to wash
the outside Of the window in which
these animals spend their days. He
had long pole with sponge at it's end
and pail Of water. AS he washed, the
monkeys watched him with great curl
osity; and presently one Of them, who
looked like a little weakened old man,
seized small block Of wood which
lay in the bottom Of the cage, dipped
it carefully into the dinner pan, and
began rubbing the bars of the cage
vigorously.
He stopped, watched the movements
Of the man, resumed his rubbing, and
Initiated the man as closely as he could.
This he continued until after the win
dow washer had finished his work.
The crowd which observed this pro-
ceeding was naturally much interested,
and the old-faced monkey has since
been known as window washing

Moving Hay as a Reward.

The spectacle Of gang Of convicts
IN prison garb, each supplied with a
scythe, pusily engaged in cutting the
high grass in front Of Moyamensing
was witnessed one morning last week.
The men were guarded by uniformed
keepers, heavily armed, but, despite
the presence OF these grim reminders
Of their position, their faces were
wreathed in smiles, and they shifted
IN the airs Of freedom with evident
relish Strange as the sight was to one
not accustomed to it, the practice OF
selecting convicts to do the chores about
the prison is not an unusual one. 1t is
considered rare privilege to be as
signed to such work, a privilege CRATE
fully accepted by the favored ones.
Convicts selected to perform such tasks
are those whose sentences have almost
expired, who are exemplary prisoners
or those whose frequent sojourns with
in the walls suggest that they are bet
ter satisfied with prison fare than none

The largest farm in this country is
situated in southern part Of Louisiana.
It extends 100 miles north and south;
and 20 miles east and west. 1t was pur-
chased in 1883 by syndicate Of North
ern capitalists, by whom 1t is still oper-
ated. At the time Of its purchase its
1.5OO, 600 acres was vast pasture Of
cattle belonging to a few dealers In that
country. Now, 1t Is divided into pas
ture stations or ranches, existing every
six miles. The fencing is said to have
cost about $4,000 The land is best
adapted for rice, sugar, corn and cot
ton. A tract, say half a mile wide. is
taken, and an engine Is placed on each
side. The engines are portable. and
operate a cable attached to four plows.
By this arrangement thirty acres are
gone over In a day with the labor Of
only three men. There is not single
draught horse on the entire place, II we
except those used by the herders OF
cattle, Of which there are 10000 head
on the place. The Southern Pacific
Railway runs for thirty-six miles
through the farm. The company has
three steamboats, operating on the es-
tate, OF which 800 miles are navigable
Ithas also an Ice house, bank, ship yard
and rice mills.

board to scantily supply each OF the
three long boats for forty days. The
captain doled out the provisions, the
boats were hastily equipped with blan-
kets and extra oars, and as darkness
came on that Christmas eve the three
boats pushed Off.
The weather was pleasant, but 1t was
not many days before the rations were
perforce shortened. They had been
afloat nearly two weeks, when one
night the boat manned by the first
mate disappeared and was never heard
of again. The second mates boat Drift
ed away in the darkness a day or two
later and that was the last seen OF her
also. BY this time rations were served
but once a day In the captains boat.
The seamen began to suffer from the
cravings Of thirst and two went stark
mad, then died and were rolled over
board by the plucky woman who was
In charge. Captain Arthur, notwith.
standing his weakness, manufactured
a crude condenser and condensed sup
ply of water to drink. Finally death
overlook Mrs. Arthur'S little DaDy boy.
She sewed his remains up in sack,
slowed them carefully away in the bot
tom Of the boat and then took the rud-
der. which the men had given up.
For forty-six days this supreme mis-
cry was endured before the English
ship Newborn hove in sight and picked
them up. On Feb. Is, 1882, the New
bern sailed into San Francisco harbor
and landed a quartet Of sick, disheart-
ened survivors of the Milton. The
captain and his wife next day buried
their child they had brought with them
to place in grave on land. A son was
born to Mrs Arthur soon after the
party was rescued by the English ship
and she named him Newbern. Newbern

On pretty little ranch in southern

Milton, which was burned to the war
ers edge and sunk in the mid-Pacinc
IN 1882 The Milton sailed from New
castle, England, Aug. 9, 1881, for =
port on the west coast Of South Amer
lea. Shortly afterward Captain Ar
thur. whose wife sailed with him con-
stantly, was taken Ill and was confinei
to his cabin for several weeks. BY TINS
time the vessel was In the Pacific ocean.
One evening the officer In charge In
formed the sick captain that fire which
for some time had been burning IN the
hold had gone beyond control. Captain
Arthur was assisted to the deck, ana
after q short examination became sat
isfied that the ship was doomed. Sup
ported by his wife, he stood on coil
OF rope while he SO announced to the
crew, at the same time giving orders
that the boats be lowered. The Milton
was then 1890 miles from land-Cape

the plunger, pressing down, forces the
graphite through the hole, making q
continuous thread or wire Of graphite.
As long as this thread is moist it is
pliable, but it becomes brittle when dry,
SO it Is handled rapidly. 1t Is cut into
three-lead lengths, Strengthened out
and then hardened in crucible over a
coal fire. The leads, when taken from
the crucible, are ready for the wood.
Pine Is used for the cheap pencils, an
ordinary quality Of red cedar is used
for the medium-price pencils, but moth
ing but the best Florida Key cedar
is put into the best pencils. The saw
mills in Tampa, Fla, cut the cedar into
blocks about seven inches long, and
these are sawed into strips wide enough
for six pencils, but, as pencils are made
In halves, each strip Is only thick
enough for half a pencil. When the
strips are received at the factory they
are run through machine which cuts
in each one six grooves, round or
square, and at the same time smooths
the face of the wood. Both strips are
grooved alike, for, unlike the European
made pencils, the American make has
the lead equally in each strip.
The filing Of the strips is done by
girls. Tie first one takes grooved
slip of wood in her left hand and n
bunch Of leads in the right. She
spreads the leads out fan shape, and
with one motion fills the six grooves
with leads.
Next to her sits another girl who
takes the filled strip, and quickly and
neatly lays on it another grooved strip
which has just been coated with hot
glue by third girl. The filled and
glued strips are piled up on each other
and put in press, where they are left

mined at Ticonderago, VT, where the
only graphite mine Of any consequence
IN the United States is located. The
graphite is taken in the lump from the
mines and carried to the reducing mill,
where 1t is ground or pulverized In
stamp mills under water. The fine par
ticles of the graphite float away with
the water through number OF tanks,
collecting at the bottom Of these reser.
voirs. It is packed in barrels In the
form Of dust and sent to the factory.
where tens of thousands of lead pencils
are turned out every day
The pulverized graphite is SO fine that
it really is dust, dingy in color and
smooth and oily to the touch. It is
divided into various grades of fneness
by floating it on water from one tank
to another. The coarse dust sinks eto
bottom Of the first tank, the next finer
to the bottom Of the second tank and SO
on down the line, the finest powder for
the finest pencils settling in the last
tank. In another series Of tanks the
German pipe clay, which Is mixed with
graphite to secure the different grades
of pencils from very soft to extra hard,
is graded in the same way, by floating.
The finest clay Is mixed with the finest
graphite, and the hardness Of the PEN
ell is secured by increasing the proper
tons of clay in the mixture. For the
medium grades, seven parts of weight
of clay are mixed with ten parts Of
graphite.
The mixing is done under grinding
mill, similar to that used for mixing
