Stag Tiles.

By means of an ingenious process in
vented by Marco Cheapponi the manu-
facture Of Stag tiles from blast furnace
Stag is said to be successfully carried on
at the smelling works of Concha Toro,
about ten miles from Santiago de Chile.
The result obtained evidently realizes
an important desideratum in this line.
The Stag and matte. according to this
plan. are tapped from the blast furnace
into Stag pot, and, after settling few
moments, the Stag is poured from ladies
into molds. These are placed on a hearth
which has a movable cover. and, the
molds being filled with Stag. a cover is
placed ON them as we'll as on the hearth.
A very slight heat is kept up, SO that
the Stag is very slowly cooled, aid
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 considera-
BILE amount of iron is preferred 1t is we'll
known that under ordinary circum-
stances it is impossible to produce tiles
of this class Of suitable dimensions
without extraordinary means for tongh-
ening. New York Sun

Pigeons Outwit q Hawk.

The Southern Sportsman told recently
about a flock Of pigeons that measured
brains with a hawk and came out on
top in the contest. H. S. Edwards owned

cut off from their cote by large hawk.
The pigeons knew that if the hawk once
got above them one at least Of their
number would go to make the hawk a
meal, and 50 up they few in circles,
perhaps hoping to go higher than the
hawk. In the rising game they were no
match for the hawk. The latter kept
under the pigeons and leisurely follow
ed their laborious movements.
Then came curious and unexpected
sight to Mr. Edwards Every pigeon
closed its wings, when they appeared to
be the size of sparrows and down they
came past the hawk at a terrific rate.
That astonished the hawk. It actually
lodged the dropping birds and missed
half a dozen wing strokes before it got
in full chase of them When it got
down to the barnyard, not pigeon was
in sight-some were in the cote, some
in the porch, two in the wellhouse, and
one was in the kitchen. The hawk had
been outwitted completely. It's ques-

their fall as they did not slacken up
till they We're about 16 or 30 feet above

BY REQUEST OF MARGARET, HIS HEAD WAS

peoples choice on account Of his de-
scent from Edward ILL., He was for a
few days protector, but the queen was
too strongly opposed to him, and he re-
signed
He then raised an army, and in a
battle at St. Adams in 1856 defeated
the royalists, capturing the king. This
was the opening of the War Of the Roses,
SO called because as badges the Lam
castrians wore a red rose and the York
lists white rose. This war lasted over
80 years and killed off the nobility like
sheep They were, it is said, virtually
annihilated, and thus better class of
nobility was substituted.
The king was restored, but in 1860
there occurred the battle of Northamp-
ton, in which he was defeated and again
taken prisoner by the Earl Of Warwick.
Margaret was woman Of great spir-
it, and when the Duke of York was Civ
en- the throne she went to Scotland,
and in the battle of Wakefield her army
defeated and captured the duke. At her
request he was beheaded and his head,
ornamented with paper crown, placed
on the gates of York.
The queen was for time successful,
and her army earned a slight reputation
for cruelty also, but Edward, son of the
late Duke Of York, imbittered some
