Admiral DeWey'S RELIGION.

It will take Admiral Dewey the rest
of his life to catch up with his own re-
putation aud inform himself of what
has come to be known about him at
home since that May morning when he
became famous before breakfa
Every possible theory about his an
cestry, habits, and state of mind seems
to have been offered during the past
month to the acceptance of his country
men. His religious preferences, for On q
thing, have been the subject of several
dissertations and ingenious hypothesis.
1t has been averred that his mother
was Jewess, and that the best ma
terlals in him were Jewish. It has
also been confidently asserted that he is
a Roman Catholic. The Buffalo Com
mercial has printed q letter which
seems conclusive as to his religious af-
fliations. 1t is from Mr.. Lewis, rector
of Christ church in Montpelier, YER
mont, who says he is authorized by the
Hon. Charles Dewey, of Montpelier,
to say that the admiral is loyal COM
municant OF the Protestant Episcopal
church.
The admirsl's politics have been as
much discussed as his religion, with
the result of q failure to discover that
he has any politics. But, after all, if
heidoesn't know whether be is
Democrat or Republican, he is no
worse off than many thousands of his
country men ashore -Harper'slWeek

A QUESTION:.

Someti nes they say, to bed I must go;
An when l. m not sleepy, l say no.
Then my big brother says. "Oh, you're a
bore
Go run Off and take SnOre,
For it's time for little boys to know.
They ought to be in bed long ago"
An when my sister calls me mean thing"
An boxes my ears so that they sting,
jes' begin to scream an cry;
Then mamma she says, "Oh, fe!
You are too big a boy to do that
NV eyes she'll then wipe an my head she'll
pat
Now there's two or three things I'd like to
know
Am big or little. high or lewt
If am too big boy to weep.
Then why should l go early to sleep?
An If I'm too little to stay up late,
Why I'm little enough to cry-at any rate.

Too Much Realism.

An enterprising young Portuguese
composer, who dreams of founding q
new school, has introduced anew in
strument into the orchestra. 1t is q
pistol. In a realistic instrumeuto-de-
scriptive "opera from his pen, played at
one of the minor theaters of Lisbon the
audience, after hearing strange sounds
from the ordinary instruments, were
startled by the loud report of pistol
going off. There was rush to the
doors, as it was thought some anar-
chist was present. In vain did the
young composer come forward to ex-
plain that he had devised a new artis-
tic method of musical description. A
mum Der of persons were trampled upon
iu the rush, and more or less injured.
The Lisbon newspapers advise their
rsaders to keep away from perform
ances of the masterpieces of the new
genius, on the ground that another
time an Instruments descriptive battle
scene may introduce real cannon balls
and bomb shells.-London News.

SteriliZing Apparatus.

Various forms of apparatus
have been devised of this
character, the latest foreign
device, having a cylinder entirely filled
with the liquid to be treated, thus lesv-
ing no room for expansion. AS the
temperature rises the attempted dila-
tation, being restrained by the ccnfin-
ed space, causes marked increase in
pressure which, for the temperature
of sterilization, will reach five to six
atmosphere. At such pressures the
gaseous and aromatic constituents are
unable to separate from the liquid.
After the sterilization has been &C.
complished the cooling under pressure
causes these same constituents, which
may have become temporarily dis
sociated, to be entirely reabsorbed,
thus delivering the liquid in practical
ly the same condition az before, except
for the destruction of the germs by the
heat. Such an apparatus, it is said,
avoids the disadvantage peculiar to
other sterilizers, namely, that of i'm
parting to the liquid peculiar taste,
and sometimes materially changing
the properties to an undesirable ex-
teut.--New York Tribune.

A Letter From Robert Burns.

Most gratifying to the lovers of Ro =
bert Burns is the collection of letters
which passed between him and his cid
friend Mrs. Dunlop. Apart from any
new study of the man, the letters are
interesting and, in some instances.
worthy additions to his writings.
In one letter to Mrs. Dunlop he 81 avs:
"Some things, my reverend pa
troness, in your late letters hurt me:
not that you cay them, but that you
mistake me. Religion, my honored
madam, has not onlv been all nv life
my chief dependence, but my &. earest en-
joyment. I have, indeed, been the
luckless victim of hayward follies; but.
slss! have ever been more fool than
knave.' A Mathematician without re-
ligion is a probable character! an ire
ligious Poet is q Monster"

Shipping Gold.

Gold is not shipped like ordinary
merchandise, and the mode of packing
is little known outside the banking es-
tablishmenst to which it is consigned.
The coin gold of Great Britain comes
in lots of 500 ounces. These lots are
usually packed in five bags of 100
ounces each, and the bags are placed in
a box, which is tightly nailed and
strapped. It frequently happens that q
cases a coin is Clipped to make it's
weight exact.
Bar gold is also shipped in boxes,
each box containing 500 ounces. The
bars are kept from chatting by being
packed between layers of sawdust.
American gold coin which has lost
less than one-half per cent by wear is
received for its face value, but all pie
ces which are light as much as one
half per cent are received by weight
only. The assay Office advances 80 per
and when the actual value has been
determined settles by check on the sub
treasury. American gold coin, like
the French and German, is nine-tenths
fine, British coin is eleven-twelfths
fine, and bars are OF various grades.
Because of the variation in quality all
settlements are made on the basis of
fine gold"
There are tricks in the gold bust
ness,'' said another banker, (which
are not known to the rest of the bust
ness world. For instance the light
weight coin dodge. A man buys
American gold in Europe for ship
ment to this country. He buys it by
weight and uses it here for its face
value. If the coins have been slightly
worn in circulation, but not down to
the One-half per cent. limit, the
shipper makes the difference
Gold when shipped to Europe from
the United States is usually packed in
kegs or boxes, each containing five
bags of 5000 each, and when one
sees large dray in the Wall street dis
trict, attended by several men, but
loaded only with one or two small kegs,
he may know that there Is an actual
movement in gold.-Western Mining

How the Century Plant Got Its
Name.
From Godey's Magazine.

From Godey's Magazine.
About two centuries ago Russian
nobleman travelling in Mexico saw and
admired the maguey plant, which is a
native of Mexico.
The plant was SO much admired by
the Russian for its beauty and utility
that he was eager to have growing
specimens in his own country. So, hen
leaving Mexico, he procured some
roots to take home to the car as q pres
ent.
On his first visit to court, after he
reached the capital city, he told of the
wonderful plant and asked permission
Of the Gar to present to him the
specimens which he had. The Gear
gave the roots to the court gardener,
who promised to give the plants his
best attention; but, unfortunately, be-
fore he could plant them properly, as
he intended, he was taken suddenly
Ill, and died without having accom-
plished anything.
Another gardener was appointed.
In the meantime the roots lay in the
sack In which they were first placed.
The new gardener, not knowing their
value, threw the sack away, and it lay
UNDECIDED in q corner of the garden day
after day. Some time afterward his
little daughter picked up one of the
roots, and. in q playful mood, planted
1t, but paid it no further attention.
The Gar had fore often all about it. In
course OF time the ruler died aud also
the second gardener.
The plaut In after years put out q
few spikes for leaves, but did not
thrive in the cold air of Russia. 1t
grew very slowly, and its origin was
not known TO any one save the wife of
the gardener and the chi that planted
IL.
Years passed, and still the strange
plant with its thick, long, straight
leaves, now nearly 6 feet tall, did not
bloom, but as 1t grew taller il attract
ed notice, and the new Gar sometimes
looked at 1t, aud wondered if it would
ever bloom.
In time he, too, died, and still the
maRuey bloomed not.
But just after the coronation of an
other Car stalk shot up from tn
root OF the plant and rapidly grew to
the height of 20 feet. Soon many clus- |
ters of small buds appeared, which |
slowly unfolded and became white
blossoms. The wonderful plant had |
blOomed at last!
The gardener said it was 100 years
old, and had bloomed in honor of the |
new Gar. Word was sent to him, and |
he and his whole court visited and ad- |
mired the flowers and the plant.
The poor exile from the sunny skies |
OF Mexico had earned its reward and q |
new name, for ever since that day 1t |
has been known as 'the century |
plant"

HOW FREIGHT is HANDLED.
The Perfection of an American Rail-
WdV SYSTEM.

After leaving the billing Office, let US
inquire how freight is handled in tran
sit, and how it is delivered.
After the billing is completed and
copied, it is handed to the conductor OF
the freight train. The cars in which
the freight Is loaded are sealed with
the station SEAL and under no cOnsld-
GRAFTON must this seal be broken while
the car is in transit, without authority
from the conductor OF the train. The
car in which each article of freight is
loaded is carefully noted on the way
bill, so that the conductor may know
where to leave the different cars.
Every station keeps complete record
of all the cars received and forwarded,
and makes such report to the super
intendent Of transportation every day
in the year. The conductor of every
train makes a similar report of all the
cars handled in his train every day.
On the report is shown whether the
car is empty or loaded. If loaded, the
kind of lading, where the car was taken
from, and where left. The superin-
tendent OF transportation can then To-
cate any car on the system on short
notice. When foreign cars come on
our line, the junction reports them on
our interchange-car repOrG, and puts
CLONE Route card on each side of the
on our lines, anu the name of the road
delivering it to US. This Is done at
every succeeding junction point, and
the cars are always returned the way
they came. AS they are returned, each
junction agent receipts for them until
returned home. 1t makes no difference
where the car goes; 1t must be returned
over the route it came by. Sometimes
a car gets damaged while on a foreign
Tr,a "a
repaired by the road using it when
damaged. One of the first things ex-
pected from agents on a system is to
load cars bone. That is, when they
receive foreign car loaded, thoy must
try to have it reloaded with freight
destined to points on the cars home
route. This cannot always be done,
but where practicable, it is expected
of agents. The Car Service Associa-
ton rules are also expected to apply on
the loading and unloading of cars.
This provides that when cars are being
loaded by shipper, or unloaded by con-
signee, one dollar per day, or fraction
of day, shall be charged for the time
exceeding forty-eight hours in loading
or unloading car. These rules are
not always fully carried out. The clas-
worth knowing. The grain cars and
produce cars are always first-class cars.
From this we have a series running
almost through the alphabet. In the
frst-class cars only first-class freight
can be loaded. If charcoal was loaded
loose in a grain car, it would make the
car unfit for carrying grain until reno
waited. Butter, cheese, and produce
must not be loaded in the same car
with refined oil. wood, alcohol, or any
other freight apt to leave an unpleas-
ant cdor. Whenever an agent permits
cars to be loaded contrary to the regu-
lations, he is called upon to pay the
charges for renovation.-From "Our
System of Moving Freight in Godey's
Magazine for June.

Matrimony has ten commandment

Matrimony has ten commandments.
These were studied out by Theodore
Parker shortly before the day Of his
wedding. They took the form Of ten
beautiful resolutions, which he inscrib-
ed in his journal. They were as follows:
First. Never, except for the best
reasons, to oppose my wife's will.
Second. discharge all duties 70
her sake freely.
Third.-Never to scold.
Fourth. to look cross at her.
Fifth.-Never to worry her with
commandments.
Sixth. promote her piety.
Seventh.-To bear her burdens.
Eighth. overlook her foibles.
Ninth.-To save. cherish and forever
defend her.
Tenth. To remember her always in
my prayers. Thus, God willing, we shall
be blessed.
