extracts from an address delivered
by the st. Louis sound money con.
ference in the early spring of 1896.
Those kind of publications appear
to be very popular with that paper
as it has been conducting those
kind of campaigns from our earliest
remembrance. Its readers who were
in the county IN the seventies Will
remember how it published inter.
lined and CARRIED extracts from a
letter written by VIM. Z. Wslton,
and it has been doing the same
thing ever since. The secret circular
used to be favorite weapon OF that
paper. Whether it will be used
again this time we are Unable TO say.

Woods letter last week and when
we called for the full letter it shut

them draw their own conclusions,
they are just as competent to read
it understaudingly, and are far more

Trained Pigeons.

Pigeons are carefully trained. Tho
young homer is taken half mile the
first day, mile the second, two miles
the third, and SO on, doubling the dis
tance each time. It must be liberated
each tine only in the same direction as
to its loft, for bird can be trained
along only one route at time. When
40 miles have been reached, week S
rest comes between. A hundred miles
are enough for a young birds first year.
So essential is the training tnat old
birds are taken only two miles out for
the first lesson of a season, though they
may have flown their $50 miles the
year preceding. The end Of the next
season, however, will, if the birds are
willing and the trainer patient, be
crowned by the accomplishment OF a
400 mile fight. AS you get higher III
the scale of distance, longer and longer
rests are needed.
Male birds are generally used for
long distances. Family matters are apt
to engross the attention Of the hen,
though she is still capable Of good work
when she has a mind for it.-Good

MetaIlixine Wood.

A method of metallizing wood, one
by which it becomes very solid and re-
sistant and assumes the appearance Of a
true metallic mirror, is described in the
Paris Monde with much detail. Briefly,
the wood is first immersed for three or
four days, as may be its degree of per-
meability, in a caustic alkaline lye, and
thence passed Immediately into bath
Of hydrosulphite of calcium, to which
is added, after "a or 36 hours, concen-
trated solution Of sulphur in caustic
potash. The duration of this bath is
about 4S hours, and its temperature is
from SO to SO degrees. Finally the wood
is immersed for 80 or 40 hours in hot
solution of acetate of lead. The wood
prepared in this manner and after hav-
ing undergone proper drying at a
moderate temperature acquires under a
burnisher Of hard wood a polished sur
face and exhibits a very brilliant metal
lie luster--a luster still further increas-
ed in it's attractiveness if the surface Of
the wood be rubbed thoroughly, in the
first place, with piece of lead, tin or
zinc and afterward be polished with a
glass or porcelain burnisher.

An Attack on sevassopol.

From where 1 was stationed I could
see the dense masses of the attacking
columns advance up the slope. Then
the torrents of grape which met them
would obscure their ranks for mo-
ment and hardly man would be seen
to remain. I at one time saw body OF
men many hundreds strong so complete
" swept away by one discharge that
only q few Of the rear rank remained
when the iron storm went past! The
dead and dying could be clearly distin-
guished lying in piles on the hillside,
and oyer their PROSTATE bodies fresh
troops crowded on to meet the same
fate. Many manly heart and nervous
arm went down in the deadly struggle
on that green hillside. No valor avail
ed. The cannon s force was greater than
the strength of man.
How many ardent hopes were extln-
guished! How many home circles de-
stroyed and lives rendered miserable BY
the havoc of that hour none can tell,
no more than they can imagine the
bodily agony or the grief for home and
friends which was there endured! What

A Misunderstood jest.

: Lord Lytton when viceroy Of India
was seated one day at dinner next to a
lady whose name was Birch, and who,
though very good looking, was not over
intelligent. Said she to his excellency:
care you acquainted with any of the
Birches?''
ooh, yes,'' replied Lord Lytton, 81
knew several of them most intimately
while at Eton-indeed more intimately
than I cared to. -
''My lord, - replied the lady, "you
forget the Birches are relatives Of
mine.
"And they cut me, - said the viceroy,
"but, j." and ne smiled his wonted smile,
SCI have never felt more inclined to kiss
the rod than I do now"
Sad to say, Mrs Birch did not see
the point and told her husband his ex-
cellency had insulted her.-Exchange.
