Jennie Lind Sang for Him.
Philadelphia Record.

The late Edward V. Eccles, the
veteran musician, was fond OF telling
this anecdote OF his youth: "It was
about the beginning of the war;" he
invariably began. "I was then a
clerk in a large music publishing
house on Chestnut street. One day
we'll dressed, quiet little woman
entered the store and asked me to
show her some music of a classical
nature. We struck up quite a con-
versation, in the course OF which l
asked her if she had heard the great
Jennie Lind, who was then the talk
OF the town. She laughed and said !:
: Oh, yes. l have heard her. Have
you? l told her that hadn't had
that pleasure, and that l had very
little prospects of hearing her, the
price OF admission was so high. She
laughed again, and then she handed
me a song she had picked out and
asked me to play the accompaniment
for her while she tried it. She sang
so beautifully that l played like one
in dream. When she had finished,
she thanked me, and with a rare
smile she said, You cannot say now
that you have never heard Jennie
LindP She thanked me again, and
left me dumbfounded."

The entire working force at the
Barberton factory comprises $40 peo-
pie inside and outside of the factory.
In Akron, Ohio. the company has
had in operation for several year a
continuous machine, but this re.
quires the handling of the splints and
matches three times during the pro-
cess. The continuous machines used
in Bsrberton have already invaded
Europe. In Liverpool there is match
factory belonging to the American
company one third larger than the
Barberton plant. Four continuous
machines have been installed there
and more TO follow.
In France all matches are made by
the government, and the government
engineer was sent TO Barberton to in
spect the matchmaking machines.
His report was so favorable that the
government decided to adopt the
American invention and thus do away
with the horrors OF the disease caused
by the fumes of white phosphorus.
Italians, Austrians, and Brazilians are
after the machines, for hand labor, no
matter how cheap, can not complete
with machine which makes matches
at cost for labor Of cents a gross of
boxes.

one day. Soon the paymaster ap.
peared at his office and said 10 his
clerk:

Yes, l did," said the clerk, and

Well, Charlie Noble has shot him.

paymaster. "Just hurry and make

The clerk made grab for his book

Then he seized his index, and just
the paymaster had business in another
part of the ship. Twenty minutes
later the clerk hunted up the pay.
master and solemnly informed him
that he could not find that man No
ble's account anywhere, and soon the
Cincinnati was in a loud guffaw from
end to end. The cook had fired pis-
tol in Charley Noble to clean out the
SCOT and insure better draught.
1t is this spirit of fun that has given
the name of "Jimmylegs" to the
master-at-arms of the ship and the
appellatiOn of "Shy Pilot" to the
chaplain. The captain is invariably
the "Old Man" to every one on the
ship, and it is probable that he would
not resent overhearing himself called
that, provided it were not too loud,
and the captain could pretend with
good grace that he had become slightly
deaf. Although the life of naval
officer is usually busy one, there are
always chinks where he can stow
away some recreation of which he is
very fond. He can find time to read,
some time for pleasant games. If he
desires to be alone, he simply draws
the curtain to his room and he is as
thoroughly separated from his fellows
as if wall Of great height and thick
ness intervened. When he is at sea,
like all sailormen, his thoughts are
largely of home and port. His strict
observance of social requirements at
such times is seen in its results; for
whatever else may be said of the
average naval officer, he is by instinct
and training always gentleman.
His social requirements are the out
growth Of that consideration for
others which marks the gentleman
everywhere, but is hardest to observe
where men are crowded together as
they are on naval vessel.

IL Was Inevitable.

Senator ingalls, on the floor OF the
Senate in 1878 foresaw the coming
alliance between the creditor classes
OF New England and the East with
the gold power of Europe and said
with boldness: at is the East
against the West and South COM
bined. 1t is the corn and wheat and
beef and cotton OF the country against
its bonds and it's gold, its productive
industry against its accumulations. 1t
is the men who own the public debt
against those who are to pay it, if it is
to be paid at all. II the bonds of this
government are ever paid they will be
paid by the labor of the country and
not by its capital. They are exempt
from taxation and bear none of the
burden of society. The alliance be-
tween the West and South upon all
matters affecting their material well
fare hereafter is inevitable. Their
interests are mutual and identical.
With the removal of the causes of
political dissensions that have so long
separated them, they must coalesce,
and united they will be invincible.
The valley of the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, with their tributaries, form an
empire that must have homogene-
GUS population and common destiny
from the Yellowstone to the Gulf.
These two communities have been alien.
ated by factions that have estranged
them only to prey upon them and to
maintain political supremacy by their
separation. Unfriendly legislation
has imposed intolerable burdens upon
their energies; invidious discrimina-
tions have been made against their
products"

For your Protection Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow Of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
Inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

On April 13 last shoe and leather
fair was opened in London with ex-
hibits from America and other foreign
countries, one American machine
manufacturing company having
erected q stand at a cost of nearly
$I5, 900. A feature of the exhibition
is factory which does the complete
work of making shoes, the machinery
and methods of which are for the most
part American. A. Lafone, M. p, who
presided at the inaugural luncheon,
spoke of the extraordinary progress
which had been made in the shoe
making art since he entered the
business, and, while complimenting
English tanners on the leather they
produced under improved methods, he
said that America was ahead of Eng
land in the matter OF cheap produc-
ton OF the manufactured article, be-
cause OF the labor-saving machinery
used in the United States. American
bullocks, be declared, were brought to
England to be killed, and their hides
were shipped back to America to be
made into shoes for the English
market.

w hat Is CellulOfd /?

Probably a great majority of the
people who have used celluloid these
many years have no knowledge of its
composition and never have suspected
that it was simply paper, chemically
treated, reduced again to pulp and
then nodded into its final "form OF
beauty and utility" The Paper
World says the process is not COM
plicated one. A roll of payer is
slowly unwound, being saturated with
mixture OF 5 parts OF nitric acid,
which falls upon it in a fine spray.
This changes the cellulose OF the
paper into propylin gun cotton.
The excess OF the acid having been
expelled by pressure, the paper is
washed with plenty OF water till all
traces OF the acid have been removed.
1t is then reduced to pulp and
bleached. Most of the water having
been got rid of by means OF a strainer,
the pulp is mixed with 20 to 40 per
cent. of camphor, and the mixture is
thoroughly triturated under mill
stones. The necessary coloring pow
der having been added, a second mix
ing and grinding follows. The pulp is
then spread out in thin layers on
slabs, and from 20 to 25 OF these layers
are placed in hydraulic press, sepa-
rated by blotting paper, and subjected
to a pressure OF $50 atmospheres until
all traces of moisture have disap-
npared

As Samuel Dunnington was walk

halt as though a rattlesnake was i'm
mediately in his path. He stared fully
minute looking at an object two feet

that the find had the semblance of q

and counted the money, which totaled
the neat sum of $500 in Confederate
bills of different denominations.
