Mr.. Bushnell also loaded several kegs
with powder and furnished them with
an apparatus whereby they would ex-
Mode on coming in contact with any
object while floating in the water.
4 squadron of these explosive kegs
was placed on the Delaware about the
English shipping. They were set af1oat
in the night season, with the idea that
tbev would fall with the ebb of the
tide and strike against the shipping,
but there was an error in the calcula-
tions. and they fell in with the ice.
One boat was blown up, and great con-
sternation spread among the British.
The English soldiers manned the
wbaryes and fred at everything they
saw floating in the river. This ludic-
rous. occurrence is known in history as
the Battle Of the Kegs and is the
subject of a quaint poem by Francis
Hopkins.
GOVERNMENT WAS UNGRATEFUL
All his efforts having proved abortive,
Mr.. Bushnell became very much de-
iected. and his disappointment was
deepened by the failure of the Govern
ment to give him the assistance which
he had expected.
After the Battle of the Kegs the
British commander offered a large re-
ward for the capture Of Bushnell dead
or alive and he finally enlisted as a

CHINS AND THE MAN.
Foes Your Jaw Give You Away Before
You Speak?

Protruding chins characterize men
and women Of the get there type. Sue
cessful people usually carry their chins
thrust forward, with compressed lips.
This chin, if heavy, with broad rami
and swelling masseters, indicates fight
ing blood.
A retreating chin shows lack of force,
mentally, morally and physically; usu-
ally of the yielding Sort soon discour-
aged; desires protection; small exec
utive force. The development of other
faculties often makes up for this defect.
A small, well rounded chin, with
mobile and red cushion of flesh upon it,
indicates pleasure loving owner; if
dimpled, all the more SO, for dimpled
chins belong to coquettes. People with
dimples love to be petted and loved;
like admiration and praise; generally
tickle. Usually this chin is healthy, re-
Operative and long lived.
Broad chins signify nobleness and
large dignity, unless vertically thin,
when, if with it there be thin lips of
bloodless kind, you find cruelty.
Square chins with little flesh denote
firmness and executive ability. These
make good haters.
Drunkards usually have a circular
line about their chins.
Stevens have wrinkles about their
chins.
Long, thin chins are poetical, unsta-
BILE and delicate in constitution. Such
people are subject to bowel derange-
ments. If thin through the angles of
the mouth, too, they are prone to tuber-
oulosis; generally short lived.
Medium chiAs with a suggestive BIZ
frrc2tion in the center, with small
mounds of flesh on either side, charac-
terize generosity, impulsiveness, CHEEKY
natures The same sized chins. with a
dab of flesh just under the center of
the lower lip, indicate meanness, sell
fishness, brutality.
n. B.-No one feature can be taken
in judging character. Often develop
ment of other faculties of mind or fea-
ture entirely governs. In each case take
the "totality of indications" before
judging. St Louis Clinique.

Modern Awnings.

Scarcely any object is more conspic-
nous in the summer season than the
awning" said Mr.. Bifleton. "In none
is our progress in civilization more ap-
parent. Awning stripes are made now
adays in a great variety Of styles and in
various colors and shades Of color. 1t is
quite possible to get an awning to match
a building, or one that shall contrast
with it agreeably. I have seen lately
a large brownstone building equipped
with awnings having alternate stripes
in two shades Of brown, shading admit
rably with the stone, the whole produc-
ing a massive, harmonious and pleasing
effect. I have seen buildings of light
colored bricks with light stone or terra
Gotta trimmings equipped with awnings
in stripes Of darker colors and Of some
what fanciful design as to the width
and grouping of the stripes, giving an
effect somewhat striking perhaps, but
decidedly picturesque.
1.-THE fact is that in the hands Of .
competent person the awning may now
easily be made great establishment of
the building, and properly put up, as
indeed most of them are nowadays, it
becomes thing of beauty and joy, if
not forever, at 'oast for the SUNNI II

SHIP CUSHIONS.
Measuring Vessels For Their Outfit-What
Ship Cushions Are Made OF.

Measuring Vessels For Their Outfit-What
Ship Cushions Are Made OF.
When new vessel is ready 10 be fitted
out with her cushions, she is measured
for them, not as church would be, for
a certain number Of cushions of spec
flied size to supply a certain number of
pews, but every space in which a cush-
ion is to be placed separately. On a
large vessel there might be a number of
cushions of the same dimensions, but
marine architecture is such that cush-
ions may be required on the same vessel
in a great variety of forms, and of vary
ing dimensions even within given lines,
narrower at one end, for instance, than
at the other. And cushions are made to
fit around masts, and around the round
ed ends of cabins, and in other spaces
where they must be made in the form
of an arc of a circle, and ship cushions
are made Y shaped and in other shapes
to fit into various hooks and joys.
All cushions are made with vertical
front edge, and most of them are made
with a vertical rear edge, but ship
cushions are often made with a rounded
or beveled rear edge to fit handsomely
against the side of the vessel, which
serves as back to the seat, but may
slope away at sharper angle than seat
backs commonly do.
Practically every boat that is set
afloat, whatever she may be, big or lit
tie, is individually measured through
out for her cushions The same materi-
ais for stuffing cushions that are used
on land are used on the water-hair,
moss, cotton and so on-and ship cush-
ions are sometimes stuffed with cork
clippings for their buoyant properties.
The materials most commonly used in
covering church cushions are damasks
and reps, the damasks more generally.
The material most commonly used in
covering ship cushions is mohair plush,
which is made in various colors and
qualities. Leather is also used in cover
ing ship cushions, especially in smok-
ing rooms and chartrooms and aboard
yachts, and it costs little, if any, more
than fine quality of mohair plush

Political Comments.

OllnUO1 neTdlu. IL Is universally
agreed that Horace Boies passed finally
out Of the public eye with Wednesdays
fusion conventions.
Centerville Citizen: The middle-of-
the-road populists objected to the label
ing of the ticket democratic" but the
democrats never made murmur when
the populists injected all of their prin-
ciples into the platform.
Atlantic Telegraph: The three party
ticket may find that the mlddle-of- the
road pops are like the horse which was
led to the water but could not be made
to drink, but those populists who have
joined the democrats and surrendered
everything, including the name, have no
kick coming if they do refuse to support
the ticket fixed up by the bosses.
Keokuk Gate City: Chairman Whites
speech as president of the democratic
convention and the platform adopted by
that body are links of the same sausage,
Both are cheap demagogic appeals TO
class prejudice. They seek to array la
Dor against capital, the poor against the
rich, the unfortunate against the pros
porous. The key note of the democratic
campaign is calamity; its prophesy dis
aster. Such a program is an insult to
iowa intelligence.
Sioux City Journal: An anti.fusion
populist state convention will be held in
September, and it will be found that it
is an important movement. 1t repre-
sents the purpose to maintain the iden-
tity Of "the peoples party" There will
thus be a peoples party ticket on the
official ballot, and all populists who OPP
pose the deal effected at Des Moines will
have an opportunity ia vote IS they de-
sire. The movement is not confined to
to Iowa but is general throughout the
United States.
Mason City Globe-Gazette: Hon. J.
z. Markley, of this city, says the nation
al democrats will nominate state ticket
at their convention which will be held
July 7. There was some question about
putting ticket in the ffe. Il, but in view
of the platforms and nominations made
by the three ring circus there will be a
a ticket. The populist platform, dubbed
democratic, goes back on the well known
and accepted principles of democracy on
the tariff question and remains silent on
the liquor question, which has been a
local issue for many years,
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The silver
democratic greed in accordance with the
immutable law of nature is having it's
eyes closed with the gluttony of its
feasting and does not see that it is des-
troying itself. 1t laughs at the threats
of the populists who walked out of the
convention at Des Moines. The poor
pops have been SO long made the object
of ridicule that the silver democrats
have been led into understanding their
sense and power. They do not lose
their heads in passing craze. They
stand on the rock of Giberalter, the
faith Of the fathers, and they ask no.
body's permission to do so. The die
tates of party are most times to be re-
spected; but great party has no right
to reverse itself and renounce the prin-
ciples upon which it has been founded.

When the statement is made that the
country has not yet recovered the pros
petty of five years ago, there are exist
ing conditions to be taken into account.
These are that the manufactures are
not likely to run at their full capacity
until the question Of the tariff is defn-
itely settled, and until the mills and
factories are in full operation the vol
ume of labor cannot be fully employed.
When there is work and wages for all
there will be greater demands upon the
market and this interchange is greater
today than it was year ago. The pros
poets of a more than average yield OF
grain and the indications that much of
this will go to foreign markets is one OF
the best evidences of advancing pros
perity.-Capital.
