THE BIG VAULT.

The big safety deposit vault is
beginning to assume very formid-
able proportions in the Merchants
National Bank. and will soon be
completed. 1t will be by far the
finest and most improved vault in
the state. and has the only auto
matte lock in the state. The big
front door, weighing 5000
pounds, was swung into place this
morning by the most powerful
little jaCkscrew In use, and the
work was done as easily as a car
penter could hang an ordinary
hcLse door.

Sermons and Cream.

A New England parish which, since
the death of its pastor, had been without
any settled minister for some months, had
been supplied from the neighboring pulpits
and from theological seminary. At last
the parish succeeded in procuring minis
ter, and he was warmly received.
Not many weeks after his settlement he
stopped after Sunday school to talk with
one of his new parishioners, an apple
checked old lady who had large class of
boys.
s'Tm SO glad we've finally got a regular
minister of our own, said the old lady,
shaking the clergyman hand with great
heartiness. s'We've had everybody for
the last four months. y
ssWell, said the minister with a smile,
Il suppose you have had the cream of the
ministers in this region among your sup
plies
''I don't know about that, - responded
the old lady promptly, with twinkling eyes.
Maybe we have, but I'm farmer s
wife, and I've always thought that when
you wanted good cream you got to let
the milk settle awhile and not keep stirring
1t up all the time

''Your dastardly treatment drove love

Origin of Alpaca Goods.
From the New York sun.

Perhaps the most familiar object in the
average woman daily life, and Of the
substance of which she remains always
most ignorant, is the wool and mohair
goods that heap the dry goods counters
and are sampled, measured, piled, twisted,
tested and felt of every hour of the day.
Like the primrose by the river brim, it
is mohair, cashmere or alpaca to them and
nothing more, and many are strong in the
belief that mohair and alpaca are one and
the same material with only little differ
ence of weave.
Now, as a matter of fact, the substance
for their weaving comes from exactly op-
posite sides of the world, and from the
time of the Peruvian Incas to 1896 alpaca
was stuff unknown in any woman's
wardrobe. Its revival was wholly due to
the inventive cleverness of Titus Salt of
England. who afterward got a title to
dignity his odd name, and who in the year
above mentioned stumbled across in
Liverpool warehouse number Of bales of
i'll smelling black hair from South Ameri-
ca. As no one seemed to have any special
desire to possess it, he bought the 300
bales and from it produced fabric every
woman grew so nightly to fancy that
presently he had FIVE large factories in full
operation.
Now the essential difference between
mohair and alpaca is that the first is
woven from the fine white hair of the
Angora goat and accepts any dye, while
alpaca is made from the coarser coat of the
South American llama and is rarely dyed,
but sold in the natural tones of black,
gray or rusty dark brown Though ''made
in Germany is stamped upon so many of
the small findings and trimmings of gowns,
the average American women has grown
to believe that the decently clad world
must depend upon these little Prussian
towns. The best of the mohair braids are
English woven, and just why the English
surpass all other nations in their manufac-
ture of goods from Angora goat and llama
hair is chiefly because of the moisture in
the English air 1t is only in damp at
mosphere that this yarn can be spun; an
atmosphere like that in Russia, Germany
and France must be artifcially produced
and in which the spinning and weaving is
not nearly so successful as in England.

Tobacco Sophistications.
From the Boston Transcript.

I AASAA thS Do'toA 1AahscAApts
All tobaccos are treated with sauces be-
fore being made up into their commercial
form. By this means they are favored in
various ways, so as to adapt them to the
tastes of consumers The tastes of con-
sumers vary in different localities, and to
make his goods to suit is the business of
the manufacturer. Each manufacturer
has his own secret recipes, which are
handed down from father to son. Tastes
differ even among people of various occu-
pations. Miners, for instance, want a
very strong tobacco, with scent and flavor
which another class would not relish.
Outdoor workers in general like stronger
tobacco for smoking and chewing than in
door folks
All tobaccos, in fact, are doctored.
Sometimes it is done in an illegitimat
way, for the purpose of deception. Ordi-
narily, however, it is honest and even ne
cessary. One object of it is to make the
tobacco keep better Without such treat
ment it would become like so much dry
leaves, the aromatic properties passing off,
Nitre is added to smoking tobacco in order
to make it burn well The leaves intend
ed for chewing are stepped in lieorice or
other gum, in order that the plug shall
have the requisite consistency and sweet
ness. Mucilaginous substances in small
quantities are added to cigarette tobacco, IS
that the particles may hold together and not
fall out of the paper wrapper. Some pipe
tobaccos are heavily charged with per-
fumes by treating them with essential oils
of rose, verbena, citronelle, bergamot,
cassia, musk and eatechu.
1t is not true that cigarettes are com
monty charged with opinm and other in
furious drugs. However, they are favored
with essences of various plants, such as
vanilla, stramonium, coffee, valerian and
tea. Occasionally few tea leaves are
mixed with the tobacco. These Aavors
are matters of fancy, and women particu
larly select their cigarette with reference
to them. Scarcely plant that will yield
an agreeable fayoring escapes employment
by the manufactures of tobacco. Among
those most used are the lemon, the orange,
geranium, sassafras, thyme, anise, mint
and cinnamon. Honey and maple sugar
are utilized for sweetening. A decoction
of hay is sometimes applied to smoking
tobacco.
The basis of a ''sauce" is nearly always
some spirituous liquor, usually rum. Some
times wine is used Glycerine is a COM
mon ingredient More or less molvsses
enters into the composition of much plug
tobacco. The rum preserves the tobacco
and adds to the flavor of the plug. The
plug trade for the United States Navy is
large, and it is required by the Govern
ment that the tobacco furnished in this
shape for the use of its sailors shall contain
no foreign substance except limited percen-
tage of licorice. Saltpetre is sometimes ad
ded to smoking tobacco to make it burn.
The tobacco leaves are dipped into the
sauce or else sprinkled with it.

DO IT NOW.

By Phoebe GTey.
Ifyou're told TO do thing,
And mean TO do it really,
Never let it be by halves;
Do it fully, freely.
When father calls, though pleasant be
The play you are pursuing,
Do not say, "I'll come when
Have finished what Pm doing
If you are told to learn a task,
And you should then begin it,
Do not tell your teacher "Yes.
I'm coming in a minnie"
Waste not moments, nor your words,
In telling what you could do
Some other time; the present is
For doing what you should do.
Don't do right unwillingly,
And stop to plan and measure
'Tis working with the heart and soul
That makes our duty pleasure.
