GUNBOAT APPROPRIATION.
The Committee Thinks the Matter viii
Pass at the Next Meeting OF Council

The Committee Thinks the Matter VIII
Pass at the Next Meeting OF Council.
The statement that appeared in yes
terday's Intelligencer to the effect that
the gunboat committee would bring
suit against the city to compel it to pay
for the articles ordered was a mistake.
John Waterhouse, chairman of the
committee. says that there was no such
intention on the part Of the committee.
He stated that the committee had order
ed the china and glass service to cost
$500 and that the members OF the COM
mittee could not be held individually
responsible, as they had only been act
ing upon the authority of Council. He
was of the opinion that the approprla-
ton would be made at the next meeting
of Council. for Morris HOrkheimer,
chairman of the finance committee,
had assured him that his committee
would report the matter favOrably and
that Council at its next session would
endorse the finance committees report
If. Mr.. WaterhOuse added, Council re-
fuses to make the appropriation and
nav for the articles which it has order
ed. suit will be brought against the city
for the amount by the parties from
whom they have been ordered. Mr.
Waterhouse thought that the Council
would appoint a new Council commit
tee TO so to San Francisco, but that
there would be no change in the bust
ness men who had been selected. The
people who will go will be provided
with railroad passes, as Congressman
Dovener has ten passes in his posses
sion for the members of the committee
who will go from Wheeling.

ONO compositor,s Work.

Sixty-fve years ago Hiram Lukens
entered the Intelligencer Office at
Doylestown to learn printing, and he is
there yet setting type as fast as any
body around the place. His record of
continuous service with one establish
ment is probably unequaled in the bust
ness. Several times the management
has changed, but he has never left his
case Three sets of floor boards have
worn away under his feet in that long
time, and $50 pairs of thick-soled boots
have been put on the retired list. Tor
over 1850 working days his eyes have
been trained on the type, but still his
vision Is unimpaired. and he handles
the smallest size with ease.
1t is a fair estimate that he has set
and distributed an average of 5000 ems
of type a day, or a total in sixty-five
years of 15G,000,OOO ems. This is equal
to 2S,SSS columns of common type
enough for all the reading matter in the
Record for over a year and a half. Be
sides attending to ordinary duties he
has trained ut least $50 apprentices, bit

A Blockade Venture.

During the blockade OF Ruenos Ayres.
during the last Argentine revolution. a
clipper bark, laden with -four. was fit
tex. out Mt Boston with the express pur-
pose Of running in. The late Augustus
Hemenway was her supercago. After
a tedious voyage she arrived off Buenos
Ayres and found the blockade too close
to run in, and was compelled to cruise
off and on, waiting for a change in her
favor. While thus lazily reconnoiter-
ing, she spoke a vessel from Nalpa-
raiso, which reported a famine there.
Mr.. Kcmenway at nee decided to try
Valparaiso. The captain hesitated; he
said his vessel was not adapted to
double Cape Horn in the dead Of win
ter; but young Hemenway assumed the
entire responsibility, and the captain
yielded. She had a favorable slant
round the Horn, and reached Valpa-
raise in safety, where her cargo was
sold at high prices. The Chilians were
so grateful for the timely relief that
they loaded the bark as deeply as she
could safely swim with copper ore, and
| all concerned in the venture made a
fortune. Later Mr.. Hemenway opened
a trade with Valparaiso in copper,
wool. nitrate, etc. by which he became
one of the richest men in Boston.-flar-

of the board, which projected y e the
inside of the tank, and half filed the
vessel with water. A few pieces of
cheese were placed along the other end
of the board to coax the rats on.
The trap vas set where rats are thick
est, in the basement, and in Il few min
utes a rat climbed upon the end Of the
board which protruded outside the tank
and rested upon a support. The rodent
ate the cheese and then went for the
bologna. AS it reached the hait the
other end of the board tipped up, and
the rat. with a squeal, fell into the wa

Within ten minutes SIX more rats
walked the plank, and then there was a
remarkable display Of rats cuteness.
Two rodents climbed the pile of papers,
and while one stood on the safe end of
the board the other carefully made its
way to the tempting bologna and de-
voured half of ii. The rats then chang

the bologna and half the rubber band.
During the afternoon no more rats
were caught. but a lot of cheese was
eaten by them. The engineer solemnly

Care oil the Co.fce Pot.

It seems strange that so Important
a thing as a coffee pot is one which
usually is neglected. The most care-
full ho%usekecper is often negligent as
to its cleanliness. This is not because
of carelessness, but because she does
not understand the proper method of
cleaning, and its Importance. The pot
may be carefully rinsed after each
cleaning and yet be far from clean.
There is an oily property about coffee
which adheres in spite of rinsing out.
You can see this for yourself by taking
almost any coffee pot that has been,
some time in use (unless it has been
carefully kept and you will find cling
ing to it a sort Of black grease mot
brown), which will come OFF if a cloth
is rubbed round the inside.
Now, this deposit destroys the fla
vor. fragrance and color Of coffee. If
the coffee looks black brown Instead Of
ruddy brown it will be %fiavorless, how
ever strong.
To keep this black OIL from the pot
it must be daily washed mot simply

then rub and brush both till the wire

useless for cleaning the pot. as it sets
the oil. Sometimes the coffee pot ii

A country schoolmistress had much
trouble with her pupils, and to avoid
it had her examples placed before them
in IN explanatory or illustrative char
acter.
The effect was often unexpected. On
one occasion, in going owe their usual
reading lesson, a line was chosen by
the lady on which to test the merits Of
the scholars.
The line read: "And he vas a ma Of
unlimited credit in business"
Now. John, can you tell me what is
meant by the word Credit when used
as in this lesson.
Thus she addressed one Of the STUN
bling blocks of the school.
81 dunno, marm," said Johnny, look
ing sheepish.
You don't know" said the mistress.
"Well, listen. Suppose your mother
was to be short Of money at the end of
the week and needed provisions, now
what would she do?"
She was satisfied that her illustration
was plain, and awaited the answer,
| which came thus:
"well, marm," replied Johnny, 81
dunno what she would do, unless she
pawned dads Sunday coat, for she's
pawned everything else"
The subject was instantly dropped,
and the teacher now says she has lost
faith in that style Of illustration.-Hart
