The fact that the use of oil as an anti
incrustator in steam boilers should be
occasionally attended by bagged furnace
crowns, if nothing worse, continues to
be a source of wonderment to a good
many people who ought to know some
thing Of the possibilities of the oil treat
ment. 1t has been pretty we'll demon
strated that a very small globule Of oil,
ON becoming attached to the inner side
of a boiler sheet, will sometimes collect
a mass of dirt PARTICLES contained in the
water, the whole mixture ultimately
baking on and forming an excellent
nonconductor.
This being the case, the overheating
and bullying Of the sheet at that partic-
ular, place are quite in the regular or
der of things. The only specially note
worthy thing about the matter is that
a very thin film of oil and a very small
admixture of dirt are sufficient to do a
great deal Of harm, and that the scale
formed by them may be SO inconspicu-
ous as toreadily escape detection hence
the seeming mystery which sometimes
is supposed to attend the coming down

All Things Were Bigger Then.

Apropos of bundles, correspondent
who remembers things writes II met
the Rev. Mr.. Chickering n day when
he was pastor of the High Street church,
and he carried a huge lobster under his
arm. He shook it in my face and said
laughingly: Il guess my character will
bear me out. Nobody will think I have
robbed O lobster cart, though | I'm hur-
rying home with my spoil
Nobody can carry a huge lobster
home under his arm now, for the reason
that nobody can find one to carry. In
DR.. Chickering's time Holsters grew so
big that the gigantic shell in Levi At
woods window would turn a deeper
red with modification at the comparison
and blush at its inferiority.
Sin fact, all things were bigger in
Dr.. Chickering's day. / often caught
trout that measured "a inches-I am
letting myself tell it. The grass was
greener then and the sky a deeper blue.
Flowers were more fragrant, apples had
ruddier cheeks, beechnuts were plentier,
and boys smoked sweet fern. Great men
were easier to find. remember a group
of them in my native town, though at
this moment unable to recall their
names, wiser than men who live now.
Exactly what they said or did | do not
remember-it was a long time ago-but
there is no doubt about their wisdom.

discoveries to many lines that will pro-
duce startling new things. To keep

Not q Bloated Aristocrat.

Lord ~Carmarthen, comptroller of the
queens household at a salary Of "a, 600
a year, is the eldest son and heir of the
Duke Of Leeds and is as abbreviated in
stature as his father. Whereas the lat
ter is exceedingly portly, Lord Car
marthen is quite the reverse. On one
occasion, when addressing a meeting Of
the electors of Brixton, a London SUBJ
urb which he has represented in par
lament, a certain section Of the audi
ence showed itself i%ndisposed to hear
him. Finally one of the i~nterrupters
cried out, eve want no bloated aris-

rHArFIFTY CENT DOLLAR.

A subscriber living in Puerto de
Luna, at the end of a business letter to
this paper asks the following question,
s'Suppose that Mr.. B. living in Las
Vegas, has $1,000 in gold, could he
not if the free coinage bill was passed,
20 to Mexico or to London and buy
silver amounting to nearly $4,000 and
then return to America worth twice
what he was when he left, and would
not the rich be benefited then instead
of the poorP"
In answer t o a subscriber. who, BY
the way, is a man whom we respect
very highly, we will say that all this
talk of a fifty-cent dollar is the rankesI
kind of '.bosh; - that in case it be.
cJmes evident that a free coinage act
will pass, the price OF silver will stead
lily advance, until before the act takes
effect an ounce Of silver will be worth
ST. 20, or the silver in a silver dollar

a gold dollar. If gold had been de-
monetized in 1873 and silver had
been kept as the standard,
gold to-day, would have been worth
probably but fifty Genus o the dollar.
The New York Sun, an ad 7ocate of
the single standard, is hon est enough
to admit that there will be no such
thing as a fifty cent dollar if silver is
remonetized.
The passage Of a free coinage act
may make some people better off In
this worlds goods, we hope SO at least,
as some compensation for the demon
itezation. making the great masses a
great deal poorer.
