How One Man Makes Living by Buying
Canadian Money.

How One Man Makes a Living by Buying
Canadian Money.
All through that part of the country
inorthern Ohio) there is a discount OF 20
cents on every Canadian dollar. OF
course Canadian money is not as much
in circulation as is the legal tender of
the United States, but there was enough
for his purpose. A man advertised in all
surrounding country towns that he
would redeem Canadian money for 80
cents on the dollar. 1t was some time
before he had any results from this adj
vertising 1t was like the man who
stood on London bridge at midnight and
offered to give away sovereigns. People
laughed at him. The farmers were shy.
They thought it was swindhng game
of some kind and left him severely
alone. One day man came in with $40
Canadian money. 1t was of all shapes
and sizes from the 8 cent piece that
looks like dime TO dollar bill drawn
on the Bank of Montreal. If he had
spent it, he could have secured IS worth
of goods for it. My man gave him nine
big silver dollars i'll United States mon

had exchanged United States dollars for

would give him profit Of $40 wherever

SLEEP, BABY, SLEEP.

Over the sea a lady came
Sleep. sleep, swsetly sleep.
Night was the beautiful ladys name
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
Her eyes like two stars shone soft and bright
Her voice like the breeze's murmur light,
Kind and gentle and lovely night;
Sleep, baby sleep.
How tender her love for each little one,
Sleep, sleep, sweetly sleep.
She softly called when the day was done,
"Sleep sleep, sleep.
Dear little children" heard her say,
"You must be tired now. Stop your play
And come with me To dreamland away.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
"Shut your eyes il you want to go.
Sleep, sleep sweetly sleep.
Safe in my arms III carry you SO,
Sleep, Sleep sleep.
Over the ocean flying fast
Earth with its cloud and storm Is past.
Here is the beautiful land at last;
Sleep, baby, sleep.
"Such wonderful, happy land,
Sleep, sleep, sweetly sleep.
Children laughing ON every hand,
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
Flowers more gay than our beauties of spring
Music more full than our birds can sing,
Sunshine and fairies and-every bright thing.
Sleep, baby, sleep"

CARPET PRINTING.
When the First Experiments Were Made
by John Bright.

The printing of tapestry and velvet
carpets, after being woven in the white,
dates back 90 or more years ago. Old
carpet men will at once recall the fabric
made by John Bright at Rochdale, Eng
land, and how he flooded our country
with his products. Their introduction,
however, was difficult, as they came Ill
conflict with the productions OF John
Crossley 81 Sons, then the greatest pro-
ducers Of the original tapestry and vel
vets in the world. The difference, OF
course, between the two productions
was that the Crossleys had the designs
printed, as now, i'll colors on the warp
before weaving, while that made by
John Bright tapestry had its figures
and colors stamped upon the fabric by
hand after it was woven. The latter
process, however, presented drugget
effect and lacked the style and accurate
registration of the Cfosslcy carpets.
They had one thing TO commend them
they were very durable Bright's goods
were first printed with blocks, and, be-
ing durable and cheap, their sale was
large in many countries.
Cylinders or rollers were afterwarC
used by Bright, the cue being takel
from calico and kindred printing, bu
| they varied much in their construction
| One of these, used by an English manu-
facturer, was very elaborate and ex
pensive affair. The engraving OF the de
sign upon the cylinder was very deep
and the colors placed in their prope
places to correspond precisely with tn
fabric itself, painted design, contain
ing every color to be employed, beinl
used as a guide. In fact, the exact col
oring of the carpet was placed upon tn
cylinder and from it transferred to tn
plain fabric. -American Carpet an

A Privilege.

Prayer is a privilege rather than
duty. God does not need our prayers,
but we need His help and grace. 1t Is
great condesoeusion OH His part to ask
ms to make known our requests unto
Him, infinitely more so than 1t would
be for king to invite the petitions OF
his humble subjects. But God knoweth
our frame. He remembereth that we are
dust, and as He is our Father i'll Christ
Jesus He pitieth His children and Is not
deaf to their sighings and longings. -

GRANT AND CONFEDERATE.
Sie Commanders Consideration For
Wounded Ohicer Of the Enemy.

Sie Commanders Consideration For
Wounded Oficer Of the Enemy.
The following anecdote is related by
General Horace Porter in his Cam
paigning With Grant, in The Century:
While riding about the field General
Grant stopped at house and expressed
desire to prepare some dispatches. A
number of wounded were lying upon
the porch and in the rooms. They had
made their way there i'll accordance
with the usual custom of wounded men
to seek house. 1t seems to be a natural
instinct, as house conveys the idea OF
shelter and of home. / walked with the
general into back room to see whether
there was a dry spot which he might
take possession of for short time to
write messages and look over the maps
AS we entered there was seen sitting
in the only chair Confederate lieuten-
ant of infantry who had been shot III
the left cheek, the ball passing through
his mouth and coming out near the
| right ear A mass of coagulated blood
covered his face and neck, and he pre-
scented shocking appearance. He arose
the moment We entered, pushed Iiis
chair forward toward the general and
said, with bow and smile, Here,
take my chair, sir General Grant
looked at HIN and replied: "Ah, you
need that chair much more than L.
Keep your seat. l see you are badly
hurt.'' The officer answered good ma
turedly: IF you folks let me go back
to our lines, think l ought to be able
to get leave to go home and see my
girl. But l reckon she wouldn't know
me now" The general said, Il will see
that one Of our surgeons does all in hi
power for you," and then stepped ou
of the ROOM He told one of the surgeon
who was dressing the wounds OF on
men to do what he could for the Con
federate. We did not hear what became
of him afterward He probably neve
knew that he had been talking to tn
general in chief of the Yankee armies
The dispatches were afterward writte
in another room.

CASTING COPPER PURE.
A Discovery OF Greatest Importance In
the Electrical World.

A Discovery OF Greatest Importance In
the Electrical World.
The current issue of The Electrical
Review contains the announcement of
discovery in the art of casting copper.
Copper is ordinarily cast by the use Of
alloys. 1t is stated that the new metal,
which is known as NJ. b. copper, is cast
pure. Foundrymen have heretofore con-
sidered this an impossibility.
1t is also stated that the new metal
possesses an additional tensile strength
of 331a per cent, and that much higher
percentage of elasticity has been devel-
oped, and that the new metal has a con-
ductivity of 90 per cent as compared
with the best rolled copper. This will
cause distinct changes i'll the building
of dynamos, motors, railway and tele-
graphic apparatus, because the new cop
per is believed to carry the same amount
of current with one-thlrd the amount
of metal. Wire made of it will have
greater strength and conductivity than
the ordinary copper wire.
Mr.. Edison says he accounts for the
evident change in the atomic structure
of the metal by the theory that the shape
of the crystals has been altered so that
their lines are parallel and that the
molecules are thus brought closer to-
| gether and into more intimate contact
| with each other. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Edison is interested in the develop
ment of this mteal, and that it will b'
manufactured under his supervision a
| his Menlo Park works.

STRUCK BY A QUAIL.
Tie Was ON Flat Car When He Was HIT
and Thought There Was "A Wreck.


Arthur l.. Lezinsky, a lawyer OF
Stockton, Cal, and few friends wora
on an excursion train taking a run over
the new road to Corral Hollow few
days ago. The quails in that region along
the road weren't used to cars. The noise
and smoke seemed TO brighten them.
and they lost their ordinary wariness
and caution. Instead of flying and run.
ming away as fast as wings and legs
could carry them or hiding in the bushes
they flew back and forth across the
track and over the excursion cara fiat
Car provided with chairs. They flew SO
low that some of the men jumped and
lodged to avoid being hit.
1t was a straight piece of track, and
the engineer was squirting along at a
great rate. As the birds rose from the
bushes and whizzed across the car Mr..
Lezinsky tried to catch one in his hat.
The other men were lodging and stoop-
ing while the lawyer was reaching eager
ly about with his hat. Suddenly he fell
to the floor. His friends found him in
sensible and IL dead quail lying by his
side. The bird had struck him on the
left temple close to the eye. 1t was sew
eral minutes before he recovered con-
sciouness. Then he looked around anx-
iously and asked what caused the wreck
and if anybody had been killed. He
would not believe his friends account
of what had happened until he had ex-
amined the dead bird. He is having the
bird mounted by taxidermist.
