existence The orphan asylum on River
side drive is one OF the direct results of
the work of this old society, with which
many names familiar to New York history
are connected. The first directress Of the
original orphan asylum society was Mrs
hoffman; the second directress was Mrs
Alexander Hamilton. Mrs Hamilton con-
tinued TO be an officer until she removed
from New York to Washington. There Is

How to Cut the Board.

Evidently there are plenty of natural
born machinists among the girls and boys
of this country. Recently they were asked
to tell a carpenter who had To neatly cover
a hole just IL inches square with board
which Is inches wide and l6 inches long
just how to saw the board.
Long before Postmaster Hesing's MIN
bic footed mail carriers had made their
last rounds last Saturday scores of letters
from boys and girls had been received con-
tanning the correct solution of the puzzle.
A 12-year- old girl sent in the first cor
rect solution, Bessie Genevieve Rogers,
1854 Rhodes avenue, Chicago.
The first correct solution to come I'm
from outside of Chicago was sent by an
other girl, Ida M. Evans, EOS Main
street, Peoria, Ills
A real, sure enough carpenter was asked
how he would cut that board. After meas
uring, drawing and thinking for an hour
he gave it up. Then he was shown n dia-
gram made by one of the girls, who had
solved the puzzle, and he acknowledged
that this generation of boys and girls was
a bright one. Following is the diagram:

THE papers of the city OF Detroit,
together with few republican poll
ticians and the whole of the popo-
cratic aggregation, are trying to str
up strife between the governor and
the legislature, and are strenuous IN
the assertion that such strife exists.
The NoIrHERNER does not believe
there is anything of the sort. Mr..
Pingree is a man of original, and at
times grotesque, ideas, and it is prob
able some of his pet measures Will be
sat down on IN the Legislature. On
the other hand there is nothing what
ever to indicate that measures eman-
ating from the executive office will
receive any less candid consideration
in either house than those coming
from any other source. The legls-
lature will, we are sure, do nothing
rash merely for the sake of gratifying
Gov. Pingree, and at the same time
it will stand ready to carry out any
real reforms or TO enact any measures
of merit that he may suggest.

Absolute Cleanliness.

A single leaf or even n stain left in a
teapot will spoil fresh drink for an cpl
cure. The grocer Is often blamed for keep
ing poor coffee when the trouble lies in the
strainer, which has not been thoroughly
cleansed, or in the pot, on the sides of which
are the accommodations of many brewings
One careful housekeeper insists upon a
disinfcctant being used for her dish towels
and upon them being aired after they are
ironed The taste and smell of mutton
will cling To pan after any ordinary wash
ing, and IL will faint whatever Is cooked in

there Is a distinct fiavorless flavor about
cookery In certain establishments where
quantity and not quality is the attraction.

The lumbermen are already boast
ing that a tariff of 81 on lumber has
been agreed upon for the new sched-
ule and they are rejoicing greatly
over it. How about the toiler who
is striving to build home for him

You are really funny, Courier,
dear. Don't you give your readers
credit for knowing enough to remem-
Der that the toilers did build houses
under a tariff on lumber, and that
they have lost those same houses under
the protective system that you
advocated? While democratic papers
give occasional sly digs at the re-
publican tariff policy, few of them
dare to come out boldly and advocate
the free trade policy they helped to
saddle onto the people four years
ago.

A Narrow Escape.

Nan. Angelina and Mary lay mournful in a
row.
Despair and grief were in their hearts, and
on their faces woe,
For Saturday was moving day, and mother,
dear, had said
As she kissed them all and Rugged them all
and tucked them all in bed
"That heap Of broken dollies Wen leave upon
the floor
I'm sure you IL never miss them-I'll find you
plenty more.
They re old and torn and battered up-not one
of them's complete.
/ think wouldn't take them to the house on
Pleasant street."
Nan, Angelina and Mary went sadly off to
sleep.
In happy dreams they soon forgot that melan-
choly heap.
But when at last in slumber sound their tired
mother lay
She heard voice, gentle voice, that sweetly
seemed To say:
"Those children you're SO fond of, tbs odd
you cannot see
They re- really very far from what a perfect
child should be.
There many "a pretty child in town, in case
you feel inclined,
To choose some pretty new ones and let these
stay behind,
"For Mary broke her arm, you know, and
Nan turns in her toes,
And Angelne has freckles on her funny little
nose.
They bump their heads and tear their frocks
its hard to keep them neat
/ think wouldn't take them TO the house on
Pleasant street. I"
That loving little mother-oh, she started up
in fright
She ran to all her babies. and she kissed and
Rugged them tight,
She put her little bonnet and bought a pot
of glue,
And when they moved to Pleasant street the
dollies all went too.

Care of tho Children.s Hair.

Hasty combing breaks the hair, making
IL rough and uneven. When it becomes
matted, brush out as much of the tangle
as possible and with the fingers carefully
separate the hair into strands before using
the comb. 1t Is mistake to think that
girls hair should be cut often in order TO
make IT. grow thick. 1t makes the hair
coarser, but not thicker. Weak, thin hair
Is sign Of imperfect health, and it's exist
ence should set mother to n careful ex-
animation of her growing girl. She is not
getting proper food, is not sleeping enough,
or In some other way her normal vitality
Is not being kept up. IL is also mistake
to wash the hair too often, as it makes IL
dry and brittle.

LONDON, ENG, July II. = Wolcott,

and Am bassador Hay had an important
conference at the Foreign Office to-day
with Lord Salisbury, Hicks Beach, Chan

The conference lasted an hour. 1t was
preliminary to further negotiations on the
subject OF International bimetallism.
The Americans did most of the talking.
Lord Salisbury asked what powers the
American commissioners have and was
informed that the commission is author
lied TO arrange for an international con-
ference or negotiate treaty for interna-
tional bimetalism to be submitted to the
United States for ratification.
The British representatives present
made no statement indicating their in

Sonora Rtrsr val,ey Irrigation.

HERMOSILLO, MEXICO, July 12.-H.
T. Richards, the capitalist and railway
operator who is at the head of the Inter-
national Irrigation and Improvement
Company in this city, has already sent
out large party of surveyors and engi-
neers to do the preparatory work on the
great irrigation system in the Sonora
River Valley. Mr.. Richards represents a
London and Eastern syndicate, which
has just secured concession from the
Mexican Government TO construct these
works. The surveys will occupy about
two months and construction will be be-
gun about the middle OF next Septemb Der.
The .dam Iheadworks and canals will be
very expensive, and the whole works, it
is estimated, will cost 81, 500, 900 in silver,
or three-ouarters of million dollars in
gold. The greater part of this sum will
be spent for labor and supplies secured in
Sonora, and during construction, which
will last three years or more, Hermosillo
will enjoy quite boom.

SLOW PROGRESS ON THE TARIFF
Con ferees' Deadlock Breksn and Pre-
hmmary Report Moy Be Mode
in q Few DnYs

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 12.-There
is general disappointment at the Capitol
to-day at the failure of the tariff bill
conferees to reach even tentative agree
ment. The Sunday session of the COM
mittee adjourned with an understanding
that q basis for agreement could be reached
this morning.
Later in the day, however, there was a
change in the situation and something
like deadlock ensued. This, however,
was broken at to-night's session, and sat-
isfactory progress toward a preliminary
report is being made.
The Democratic mem bers may DE
called into the conference tomorrow, and
a report to the two houses may follow on
Wedne sday. Although the disputed
items OF sugar, lumber, tobacco,
cotton and wool have not been
reached in the regular considera-
ton of the Senate amendments, they are
questions which are chiefly responsible
for the postponIng of an agreement. The
Senate is holding out for its amendments,
and will probably obtain at least a com
promise between the Senate and House
rates.
If the controversy over the sugar sched-
ule were settled report to the Senate and
House would quickly follow. The indica-
tions at the close of to-night's session are
that this will be accom- plished within a
day or two.
