the general committee on the proposed
amendment to the franchise of the Salt

company.
From the actions of the Electric Light
company in the past and the present. it
is apparent to me that they do not intend
to supply the citizens of this city with
natural gas unless they can have every
thing their own way, not only now but
more so in the future.
They have had franchises. they have
made contracts with the companies own
ing the gas fields. but the provisions and
agreements of both are. .annulled and de-
clared' void as suits their convenience.
They have gone so far as to declare to
this committee that if the schedule of
prices recommended in the majority re-
port is not accorded to them by the city
council. that they will cease to supply
natural gas 10 the citizens their con-

Kew the Sacred. if Lonely, Precinct Was
 Invaded bs sa Amerieau.
 An American attending a wedding re. ecption in great house ill London con- graduated bride and bridegroom and passed the usual compliments with ths host and hostess.
 There was great throng of guests. and he could not finger at the entrance of the drawing room when there were many behind him anxious to offer their greetinps.
 Pereeiying quiet corner to the right of the bride where gentleman and $ lady were standing apart from the other guests he went directly to it. unwit tipgly coming to s stop between two royal personages.
 The American vas not aware of the fact that he was face to face with one of the queens daughters and had turned his back Bpen another member of the royal family. He stood quietly looking ahour, hoping to see some acquaintance ill the company with whom he might have chat, and soon became nneem. fcrtably conscious that he was attracting attention and that the hostess and bride were casting uneasy glances i'll the di. recti0n of the corner where he hs;i taken shelter. While the drawing room was crowded, the company of guests with one consent avoided the secluded corner where he ard his two royal companions ware stationed.
 An acquaintance in the background perceived his mistake, and coming with. III hsiiing distance ,uotioned to him. He left hix two companions in exclusive occupation of the corner, turning his back upon both ns lie sdged his way through the thronS, while rybody stared at him. When he reached tic spot where his acquaintance WAS wait. ing for him, the stage whisper waa breathed into his ear:
 'You hay been Ioscbing on royal preserves You are x privileged eharae- ter because you are an American, but ho Englixhntsn ventures Ia turn his back upon prince or a princess.

 The answer might have been made that e3e4y American is & sovereign by the divine right Of equality ef free cit. isenship, but this would have been s meaningless pIeassntry in sn English drawing room, where social etiquette nss Sanetily superior to loyalty te democratic principle.
 The American thanked his friend for rescuing him from sn embarrassing DO. sison, and then stood by and watched the corner where royalty WAS isolated from too close contact with tae world of wealth Snd fashion.
 No guest approached the royal pair. Their presence was an act of eondesceH. sion 10 the host and hostess, and they remained on exhibition as the patrons of this social function without having their corner invaded.

A Coupon of Ire.

Cornelius Holton, Of 435 Fifth ave.
due, this city, called upon Mayor
Strong in New York yesterday and pre-.
sented for payment coupon clipped
from an old water bond issued by New
York City on March 5, 1776. The
coupon called for the payment to bearer
Of four shillings and was signed by
Benjamin Blagge as clerk. Mr.. Hol-
ton said that it was through his wife,
who was formerly the widow of DIR. A.
Barnes, of Greenwich, Conn, that he
got the coupon. She had received it
from her grandfather many years ago.
Mayor Strong said there was no fund
from which the coupon could be hon
ored, SO he referred Mr.. Holton to the
City Chamberlain. General McCook
knew Of no fund from which payment
could be made, so the holder was in
turn referred to Controller Fitch.
There the question of the city's lia-
bility was raised. Deputy Controller
Lyons said that the issue of bonds in
question was authorized by the COM
mon council four months before the
Declaration of Independence was
signed. He expressed the opinion that
the successors Of King George were
the responsible parties from whom In
terest should be collected. So Mr..
Holton returned to his home without
his four shillings. brooklyn Eagle.

Tho Quality of Ensilage.

AS much care is required in select-
ing what shall go into the silo as food
for stock as to what shall be put in the
barn to be fed dry. The silo adds
nothing to nutritive value. It must in
any case slightly decrease it, for some
fermentation must occur to cause the
ensilage to keep. 1t is important
that this fermentation be as rapid as
possible, SO that it can be checked
without going to the acid stage which
destroys still more of what nutrition
was put into the silo. Hence the
better quality of feed put into the silo,
retaining as much moisture as is need
ed to exclude air. 1t is for this reason
that corn that has come to caring stage
makes sweeter ensilage than the i'm
mature stuff that must ferment until it
sours before enough carbonic acid can
be liberated to preserve it.

Birds as Seed Carriers.

Two centuries ago the Dutch de-
stroyed every nutmeg tree in the Mo
luccas, in order to enjoy monopoly
of the business, having planted the
trees in their own possessions. In spite
of their most earnest efforts, however,
the islands were constantly being re-
stocked. For long time the thing
was mystery, but at length it was
solved. The doves of that quarter OF
the world are of large size, and readily
swallow the seeds of the nutmeg.
They traverse wide stretches of sea
and land in few hours, and deposit
the seeds not only uniniured, but bet
ter fitted for termination by the heat
and moisture of the birds system. By
similar process thousands of acres OF
land have been covered with trees OF
different kinds, the birds acting as
natures agents in the dissemination
of plants. Darwin found in six grains
of earth adhering to the feet of o plover
three different kinds of seeds, and in
mud sticking to the feet of ducks and
geese shot i'll England he found the
seeds of plants peculiar to the Victoria
Nyanza, in Central Africa, thus proving
not only the extent of migration, but
also the possibility of plants appear
ing in strange localities through the
agency of these birds. In the mud
sticking to the feet of Texas steer
the seeds of five different kinds of
weeds and grasses common in Texas
were found by microscopist after the
arrival of the animal in New York.

/ once saw cowboy try to ride an
ostrich, and ever since / have doubted
the stories told by the natives in At
rica and Australia riding ostriches.
He had vanquished every pony he had
ever undertaken to break in, but it
was only after an hours hard work
he succeeded in mounting the bird,
which at first tried to shake him off,
then to get away by running. These
tactics, of course, had no effect upon
the cowboy. Then, in spite of all
the man could do, the ostrich succeed
ed in getting its head around and seiz-
ing him by one leg. He doubled his
feet under him and the ostrich reached
over It's wings and got hold upon his
back, throwing him heavily to the
ground and tramping on him. It took
three of us to chase the infuriated
bird, and we accomplished it barely in
time to save the mans life, I don't
believe the native Australians ride
ostriches.

INJURED, but in the end she had her
way.
She did not shudder as the sharp
lancet penetrated her vein, and the
faintness which crept over her-the
deadly faintness-as the blood poured
from her veins into his, was ecstasy;
for though to her it might mean death,
to him it was life-her life for his.
She swooned before the operation
was completed, and days had passed
before she could rally even to know
that her sacrifice had not been in vain
days when Paris had been racked
by bitterer foe than the hated Prus-
sian, even her own inhabitants.
But the terrible days were OYER,
when Marie was allowed to once more
assume her role as nurse. Ernest
Haupfman was still in need of all her
care; but when she stood once again
beside him, he looked at her with
wide-open, conscious eye into which,
as he recognized her, there came q
look of ineffable happiness.
"My Lowell" he murmured. and then
he fell asleep, with her hand clasped
tight in his.
Through long weeks she nursed him
weeks which taught her that oil her
future must be wretcbedness, since
her promise to her dead father forbade
that she should share it.
How dared she tell Ernest Of it until
he spoke the words which unsealed her
silence?
But one evening, as they sat to-
gether in the twilight, he almost
wholly convalescent now, he spoke
them, as, in low, endearirg accents,
he asked her to be his wife.
Amid hitter sobs, she told him all
then, anG hid her face within her
hands. But he gently drew them
down, and drew her head upon his
heart.
"My own," he said, 'syolr sacrifice
has borne its fruit. Your husband
must boast French blood i'll his veins,
forsooth! Have I, then, none in mine2
Did you not mingle yours with mine.
the very blood of Pierre Du1al himself?
All, Marie, keep your vow to your dead
father. and, keeping it, give yourself
to mel"
In silent rapture Marie listened to
the words; but, as her arms close
clasped themselves about his neck, he
knew that he had won his cause, and
that she had gone over forever to the
-enemy!-Saturday Night

Art Of Beating Gold.

The process of preparing gold until
it is reduced to q thickness of 1885,
600 of an inch is necessary elaborate.
The gold is first cast into ingots four
inches in length and one inch in width,
which weigh from ten to seventeen
ounces, according to thickness. 1t is
then passed between polished rollers,
worked by steam, until it forms rib
bon twenty-eight yards long and 1-S00
of an inch thick. These ribbons are
then cut into 18O pieces, one inch
square, and placed between vellum,
and then the real business of the gold
beater is begun. BE beats for half an
hour with a twenty-pound hammer,
making the inch square into three
inches square; then these pieces
are quartered, becoming one and--e
half inch square. He beats agail for
one and quarter hours, until t,ie one
and a half inch square becomes four
inches square. The four inch pieces
are again quartered and beaten and
finally cut to proper size, VIZ, squares
of three and three-eighth inches, of a
thickness Tor, rather, "thinness'') Of
1890, 900 of an inch, and in this shape
the leaf is lifted into books of tissue
paper.
