Fortunate Manchester.

Manchester. VT, one of the most beautiful
towns in New Eng land, is fortunate in having
a library given it by Mrs. Henry j. Willing of
Chicago. 1t is in memory of her father, the
late Judge Mark Skinner of Chicago who was
the son of Richard Skinner, once governor of
Vermont, and afterward chief justice of the
supreme court of the state. The son became
a leading citizen of Chicago universally re-
spected and looked up to. Mrs. Willing now
fttingly honors her father, himself bene-
factor of Manchester, in this gift of u library,
which was dedicated on Wednesday. The
beautiful building is made of pressed brick,
with stone trimmings, and sloping, d-tiled
roof and its cost was $4,000. Already 10000
well-selected volumes are on the shelves,
many of them coming from Judge Skinner
ample collection of books. The walls of the
building are hung with views from Damascus,
Beirut, Jerusalem and other cities, secured
by Mrs. Willing in her trip to the Holy Land.

Attention is called to the fact that
the family of the late Joseph Richard
son, of New York, who died leaving a
fortune of more than $4,000, 900, liv-
ed on 81 500 year. Probably this fact
in large measure accounts for the
size of the estate. In the hands of
closefisted millionaires wealth accumu-
lates with astonishing rapidity, out
stripping even the pace of those great
fortunes whose possessors reap enor-
nous profits from their investments,
and dazzle mankind by their prodigal-
ity and splurge. AS between the two
classes of money getters, however, it
will have to be allowed that the lib
eral, or even the prodigal, dispenser of
wealth is the greater benefactor of his
race. Hoarded wealth confers benefits
on nobody, not even on its possessor.
Money is not useful until it is spent

Captain Mahan, in his Life of Mel
son." tells the following story of the
great sailor. The fleet letters had Just
been sent off, when Nelson saw mid
shipman come up and speak to Lieu
tenant Pasco, the signal officer, who,
upon hearing what was said, stamped
his foot in evident vexation, and ut
tered an exclamation. The admiral
called him and asked what was the
matter.
Nothing that need trouble your
lordship," was the reply.
you are not the man to lose your
temper for nothing" rejoined Nelson;
what was it,"
"Well, if you must know, my lord,
l will tell you. You see that cox
swain?" pointing to one of the most
exacting of the petty officers; 1--WE have
not a better man on board the Victoria
and the message which put me out was
this. l was told that he was so busy
receiving and getting off the mail
bags that he forgot to drop his own
just discovered it in his pocket"
Hoist the signal to bring her back, u
was Nelson's instant command; who
knows that he may not fail in action
tomorrow? His letter shall go with
the rest"
And the dispatch vessel was brought
back for that alone.

Shooting at Weston.

The quiet town of Weston had sensation
for Fourth of July digestion in the shape of
a shooting scrape. One Philip Bull of Dandy
or somewhere west of the mountain wss the
victim, getting ball in one arm. One Rush
who lives on the Works place, SO called, ham
died the revolver. 1t occurred Sunday night.
1t is claimed by Rush that the shooting was
done in defense of his person and castle. 1t
appears that Bull has a sister who keeps
house for Rush and this has made some talk,
and he went there, as he claims, to get his
sister away. AT any rate he went to Rush s
at late hour Sunday night, taking man
with him. Here is Rush's story: he was
awakened by rappings, evidently not of a
spiritual nature, and upon inquiring who was
there was told that it was none of his -
business. He refused to open the door where
upon the outside party or parties opened it
for him. He then opened two or three cham
bers of his revolver and afterwards had a
hand to hand encounter, the woman in the
case having taken from him the shooting
iron. In this tustle he received bodily injury.
Rush was arrested Monday, July 5, and the
hearing set for last Saturday.

Says the Locomotive Engineering:
Defects often develop in steam engin es
and other machines that are very mys-
terious in their origin, and call for
great ingenuity in detecting the cause.
Unless a man in charge of an engine
develops habits of close observation,
he lis likely to be easily beaten when
anything unusual takes place.
We read lately of a tendency to run
away of a Corliss engine, which was a
great mystery for a time The engine
would speed up for a few moments
without any apparent cause, and drop
back to it's normal speed without any
thing being done; the engine was TAX
Ell apart and examined carefully, and
particular attention was devoted to
the governor, but nothing wrong cou d
be found. One day, while the elgi-
neer was looking at the engine, it
suddenly speeded up about fifty revo-
lutiOns above the normal, and before
the steam could be shut off it dropped
back to the regular speed. The oagiE e
was stopped, the governor again TAX
| EN- apart, the valve mechanism exam
| ined, and a minute inspection MAD e
over the whole machine. and nothinl ;
could be found the matter
Some of the people about were be-
ginning to think this erratic engine
was acting outside of natural laws
and that a real mystery surrounded
the tendency to run away. By acct
dent the engineer grasped the COVER
nor belt, and was surprised to find thai
the pulley turned on the shaft. The
pulley was of the common kind, made
in two pieces and bolted together, be
ing held to the shaft by the friction O.
the parts. The bolts had worked loose
and permitted the pulley to turn on
the shaft at short intervals.
When hearing about this mystery
the surprise we experienced was that
the engineer did not thoroughly ex-
anime that pulley after he had looked
at the governor.

A Conductors Narrow Escape.

While the ii. IA northbound Fitchburg pas
senger train, which arrived about ten min
utes late at Keene, was delayed at the station
Saturday morning for the repsiring of the air
brakes rather startling event occurred.
Conductor Sargent was engaged in repairing
the hose under the rear platform of the for
ward Wagner coach, when for some reason
the train was started. Someone shouted
loudly and the conductor, realizing his pre-
carious condition, instantly grasped the
brakebeam with one arm and drew himself
up against it. He was half dragged, half car
ried, distance of about II feet before the
train was stopped.
How the signal was given is coniectural
but it was probably sent in accidentally by
moving the hose of the air signal. At ali
events, it was close call and all who wit
messed it were much alarmed.

In a recent report from DR.. Brittin
of New Zealand, it Is stated that ho
has succeeded in bringing into practi-
cal form an idea for the freezing OF
meat in a manner that will obviate the
danger Of "bonestink," that fault
which has told so prejudicially against
frozen meat in the European and Lon
don markets. The idea Is to apply the
greatest degree of cod first to the in
terror portion of the carcass so as to
expel the animal heat therefrom be-
fore the process of putrefacton can
begin. In the ordinary course of free
zing the outer part of the carcass Is
frozen first, and the heat is not expell-
ed fron the bone until frequently y
faint is contracted. By the new sys-
TEN the cold is applied by a hollow,
dagger-shaped steel instrument, divid-
ed within so that brine or other re-
frigerating material passes down to
the point and returns up the other side
of the internal division. The brine is
forced into the instrument through a
tube leading back to the machine, and
thus a constant cold current is kept
flowing through the dagger. The in
strument Is inserted into the hind
quarter of carcass through the aitch
bone and passed along the bone to the
stifle joint. In the forequarter it is
passed along by the shoulder blade.
Experiments have shown that very
short space of time suffices to cool the
inner part of the meat beyond the dan
ger of faint, and the meat is not discol-
ored or disfgured in the slightest de-
gree by the operation, which would be
carried out in the cool rooms of the
freezing works
