when the coal Is ordered from the dealer. no
intimation should be given him as to reweigh.
Ing; but when The driver arrives Mt the house
with the loaded vehicle he should bo ordered
to take the load to the nearest scale in the
above list. and have same reweighed. The Is
cents per ton for woighInaster's fec may be
given to the driver or sent by any other per.
son. Care should be taken to see that tho
driver Of the vehicle goes directly to the Off:
cial scale and does not return to his own yard
before SO doing. After tho loaded wagon is
weighed and the coal delivered to the pur-
chaser, the driver takes the empty vehicle baCk
to the scale to be weighed. A certificate Of the
weight. will then be sent to the purchaser by
the w~eighmaster. Tho law gives every pur-
chaser the legal right to have his coal weighed
as above. and purchaser IS under no obliga-
ton either TO driver or dealer for so doing"
Secretary Pangburn told THE SUN reporter
that nearly all the coal that had been rcwcighcd
30 far had been purchased by the association
itself for customers. That is, an order for a ton
or two tons OF coal would come in to the office
OF q member of the association, and instead of
filling the order himself the member would send
1t to the yard of q suspected dealer. Then it
would be reweighed. and when found short the
case would be reported to the corporation at.
torney and notice would be served on the
dealer that he had been found out and would
be prosecuted. OF the loads of coal thus re-
weighed 20 per cent. have been found short.

In talking over the minute factors that
have meant profit or loss to manufacture
ers some curious details were given me by
experts. For instance, one clock manu-
facturer of Waterbury, Conn, found that
a certain rival was doing a large trade in
cheap clocks sent out to the wilds of Afri-
CO. He got hold of u sample clock, and
finding that there was heavy profit in
the enterprise, invested large sum of
money in making a still better clock,
thousands of which were shipped to the
same market. Strange to say, sales were
very slow, while his rival, turning out q
cheaper and far less accurate timepiece,
was selling all he could make. Finally the
explanation came. Sayages like noise
The clocks made by the original exporter
had particularly loud and aggressive
tick. His imitator made better clock, but
it was almost noisoless, and the sayages
would have none of it, The remedy was
simple. The next shipment of clocks to
the Guinea coast licked louder than any
thing previously heard there, and all went
well.-Philip G. Hubert, Jr., in Soribner's,

prize for the best was awarded Mrs.
H. Kennedy, whose little couplet
contained much sweet sentiment
and thought. The trophy was a
handsome belt of latest style. BY
a unanimous vote the ''booby" was
given Miss Lizzie Mudd for the
w1ttiest answer. Should any of the
readers desire to add Miss Mudd's
rhyme to their store of valuable
knowledge, perhaps the young lady
may be induced to have it put in
print. Her prize was big sum

a Letter from Lieutenant Moss.
The many friends in Lafayette of
"Jimmie' Moss will be pleased to
learn that he is meeting with much
success as the promoter of the
wheel in the United States Army.
Some weeks ago The Gazette pub
lished an article from New York
paper giving the details Of pro-
posed trip to be made on BICYCLES
by corps of Uncle Sans soldiers
under the command of Lieutenant
Moss. The distance to be travelled
is from Fort Missoula to St. Louis
and return. In a letter of recent
date Mr.. Moss writes to his parents
here:
CRAWFORD, NEB., July 3, 1897.
-t:The !bicyle corps reached this
small Western town about 10
O'Clock this morning. So far the
trip has been a success, although
the work has been exceedingly
severe-rain, mud, water, grades
and bad water. Tomorrow about
noon we will strike the much
dreaded sand hills of Nebraska: for
nearly 200 miles we are going to
have an awful time pulling through
the deep, soft sand. After that,
however, it will be comparatively
smooth sailing until we reach St.
Louis.
"My health is very good, indeed,
and the rough, outdoor work seems
to agree with me. I can't eat
enough, such an extraordinary aP-

a Burglar Escapes.

Louis Jean Baptiste. the young
negro who was charged with burg
larry and whose chances for long
term in the penitentiary were guilt
edged, has escaped from the parish
Jail and is now at large. During the
night time he succeeded, with the
assistance of another prisoner, to
unlock the door of the cell he was
in and then made his way, by
means of ladder, to the loft of the
Jail and made his exit through the
sky-light. From the roof of the
Jail he found it an easy matter to
descend to the ground with the use
of the lightning rod. Without the
aid of the other prisoner, Blanch-
ard, it would have been impossible
for the negro to have escaped.
The reason that Jean Baptiste
was not kept in one of the steel
cages is that the officers wanted to
keep him away from his partner,
Andrew Lewis, who is charged with
the same crime.
Jean Baptiste has not been caught
yet, but it is devoutly to be wished
that before long he will be brought
back to Jail.
