How q Fire May Start.

The ease with which fire may be
started and the apparently inexplica-
BILE causes which may produce one
are both emphasized by happening
in an up town house last week. The
mistress of the house was seated In the
extensive parlor in the afternoon alone
and perfectly quiet, when without
warning hanging bookshelf broke
from its fastenings and slipped to the
floor. On its way it struck a small
table standing beneath it and knock
ed over box of matches, igniting
two or three of them. These flew off,
one touching the light gauze scarf
which had hung from the table, which
fell blazing against the lace curtain
near by. The frightened screams of
the mistress brought servant, and
it took energetic measures on the
part of the two women to extingulsh
the rapidity spreading fire. Had the
room been untenanted, as it had been
all the morning and would have been
again IS minutes later, 1t would hav c
been case of fire department succor
IN have saved the house.-Nev York

Effects Of Shocks Upon CAST Iron.

1t has long been an accepted theory
that cast iron is injured by a success
ion of shocks. 1t has been supposed
that the iron becomes brittle and al
most worthless. Tests have been
made to establish the facts in the
case. Pieces of iron we're struck
three thousand times with hammer.
The gain in strength was from ten to
fifteen per cent. A number of iron
rods we're placed in box and shaken
in order to free them from the sand
Of the molds, and to give them a
slight smoothness and polish. They
were shaken for long time and then
tested, when they were found to be
about fifteen per cent. stronger than
the same bars that had not been
through this process. The theory is
that continual beating or tapping So
lidihes the molecules and has an
effect no, unlike welding This is an
important discovery, as it gives the
benefits derived from annealing by
heat without any Of the objections to
this process. Heat sometimes changes
the chemical composition of the iron
and may effect the carbon. Still
further tests are to be made, those al
ready reported having shown such
favorable results.

An amusing story is told Of maiden
LACY who was staying in fashionable
London hotel when the last census was
taken. Like some other people. she Is
rather sensitive on the subject of age,
and this, OF course. was not unnaturally
the subject of some Quizzing among tho
ether guests. The census paper left a.
the hotel by the enumerator was spread
on the parlor table. and the guests were
requested TO Ill in the various spaces as
to sheir antecedents, etc.
Secrecy was, OF course, out of the ques-
ton, and considerable curiosity was
evinced as 10 how the lady in question
would treat the query as TO her age.
When her turn came she was equal to
the emergency. She quietly filled in all
the desired information, and when the
eager eyes around scanned the "age col
umn," they found they could make MOTH
ing of it, Everybody else had written
out in A neat, cl,ar hand, but here they
were puzzled.
"Why, Miss A." SAID the landlady.
smiling sweetly, II am afraid the emu
merator Will not be able to make this
out" pointing to the item In question.
'"That?" said Miss A.. plac!dly. "Oh,
that is written in Russian. you know. ana
II ne can't read It. they can at the ofiics.
of course" And she calmly retired. well
aware that not a soul in the hotel but
herself understood word OF the Russian
language.

Rusk and the Veteran.
Post

A soldier who had lost leg was
given position by Governor Rusk.
He had been used to dong hard
work. There was not great deal to
be done in the place he was assigned
to, and he thumped his way into the
presence of Governor Rusk and en-
tered complaint that he didn't have
enough to keep him busy. Without
smiling, the governor said to his visi-
tor, $50 you want more to do, do
you ?" Yes, sir l would like
enough to keep me out of mischief"
Maybe you would like to go back
to the farm and resume your old
duties" No. governor, l can't
earn enough there to pay all expenses.
I like the salary here, but l would
like more to do" "Well, l see you
are dissatisfied" By this time the
soldier concluded that he had put his
head in a place where it was likely to
be cut off, became alarmed and stam-
mered an apology. "Do you know
Baker and where the committee room
is that he has charge of ?" Yes,
SIR" I" Well, do you know what
Baker has to do ?" Yes, sir. l
was up there yesterday, and he told
me he didn't have nothing to do"
Well, sir, you go up stairs and help
Baker do his work. San Francisco

Captain Heard's Rxploit.

The speed Of the Baltimore clippers
in days gone by made history rebound
with their exploits. Every boy and
girl has read at some time or place of
the piratical long, low, rakish looking
schooners that cruised the ocean
ostensibly as privateers, but chiefly as
pirates in those days, and have mar
veled more or less at their astounding
adventures. A good story is told of
the late Captain Augustine Heard,
that while in command of fine ship
richly laden, bound from China to
New York, he was overhauled by one
of this kind, which came up under
his lee, fired shot into his ship and
demanded in "good English" that she
should be hove to- Captain Heard
watched a favorable opportunity,
squared his yards, ran the privateer
down, passed over her between the
masts, and when well to lee-ward
brought his ship to the wind and re-
sumed his course. She had lost some
Of her headgear, but sustained nc
damage in her huh. Captain Heard
lett the ''long, low, black privateer,"
or pirate, to her fate, and had no
doubt that all her crew perished.
1t was dangerous thing to do, but
Heard relied upon the good timber in
his ships bows to withstand the shock,
although his heart grew sad at the loss
of life. Still, as he put 1t, "My honor
and life were at stake, so he had to &c
under" ."-Hayper's ROund Table.

Special Message to NJ en-.

When the desolating fact of impaired vigor
comes home to men the force of the blow is
crushing. They know themselves inferior to
their fellows, and they shrink from compan-
ionship. Their ambition is gone, and hope
with it. When hope vanisnes despair takes
its place. All this is without warrant. for
these men can be cured. DR.. Greene, the
famous specialist in mems diseases, has
found the remedies that restore vitality in
men. These remedies build up and
strengthen, and thousands of men walk the
earth to-day who have been permanently re-
stored to vigorous manhood by their use.
Weakness vanishes, hope and ambition re-
turn, and the patient is truly a new man.
Dr. Greene's glorious discoveries are the
safeguard of many thousand homes to-day.
His wonderful Nervura alone has made him
famous. You may consult DR.. Greene at
his office, 81 Temple Place, Boston, Mass, or
write to him, and there will be absolutely
no charge for consultation or advice in
either case, whether you call or write. The
system of treatment by mail is perfect, and

At no time since the close of the civil
war have the prospects of the Republican
party in the South been as bright as at
present, after the large defections from
the Democratic party to populism and
the increased development of manufac-
lures in the principal States south of
of American politics it must seem some
what surprising that Kentucky and Mary
land, two Democratic strongholds, should
have Republican Governors, and that in
Tennessee at the last Presidential election
the Republicans should have polled 45
per cent. of the total vote in the State,
while they had SO per cent. of it in
Georgia, 81 per cent. in West Virginia,
46 per cent. in Virginia, and Al per cent.
in North Carolina, besides polling 167, 900
votes for Mckinley and Hobart in Texas,

been increasing rapidly in numbers and
influence in all the States, particularly in
those on the southern border, with the
exception of two, South Carolina and Mis-
sisippi, in which, by constitutional pro-
vision, there is large disfranchisement
of colored voters. The chief cause of this
change is the growth of the Populist
party, which is white mans party, and
has withdrawn many voters from the
Democratic candidates without getting
many recruits from Republican ranks. In
no Presidential election since the close of
the civil war have the Republicans polled
so large an electoral vote in the Southern
States as they did last year. Mr.. McKin-
ley received II electoral votes in Ken
lucky, in Maryland, and in West Vir-
ginia, which, with 3 in Delaware, makes a
total of 20 in what was formerly the solid
South In three States-North Carolina,
Virginia and Tennessee, the contest be-
tween the Democrats and the Populists

the other was very close, and the sever

these States makes more probable than
heretofore Republican success. New
