Chauncey Nj. Depew Urges Hasty Currency
Legislation.
1.-THE election issue in New York, /"
said Chauncy M. Depew, has no ma
tionaI significance" but with an al
arming falling off of the republican
votes in the state, with heavy losses
the republican party is confronted
with the lncon,rovertible truth that
Organism and bimetallism are not
dead. 1t warns them that they must
take steps at once, and emphatically,
to settle this currency question with
out any hope of reopening it,"
No one is at loss to understand
the reason for Mr. Depew's appeal for
haste. He reads ia the election re-
turns of 1897, the election of free
silver congress IN 1898, and forthwith
tells the republican party that it
must take steps at once to settle this
currency question without any hope
of reopening it," Depew only voices
the desire and intention of the pluto
Gratis of the nation. They will, if they
can, rivet the gold standard upon this
country SO fast that it can never
again be shaken off But in their
riveting process they will be very apt
to find number of patriotic republi-
can senators who will refuse to assist
in the work. Enough probably to
prevent the consummation of the
scheme until the people get another
chance to be heard at the ballot box.
The attempt, which Mr.. Depew
urges, will no doubt be made; and it
will have one good effect, it will open
the eyes of the people to the enorni;y
of the attack which is being made up

Her Embarrassing Mistake.

In Washington recently, reports am

many society maidens of the nations
capital was waiting patiently for her
best young man to take her to the the
alter. She was all ready but her cape,
which she had placed on table in the
hall. 1t was nearly eight o'clock when
he came, and no time was to be lost.
She met him at the door, and, grabbing
her cape, hurried off. They boarded a
Pennsylvania avenue car, which, of
course, did not go fast enough. They
never do when young lady thinks she
may miss something in the playhouse.
For some reason the other occupants Of
the car seemed to be choking with sup
pressed hilarity. After riding couple
of blocks the young man understood
why, and, whispering fewwords to his
companion, he motioned to the con-
ductor to stop the car. She snatched
what she supposed was her cape and
blushed furiously. Her mother had

Unknown Heroes.

It is the custom for orators and
writers, when they are dilating on the
heroic in human nature, to draw their
illustrations from the history of the
past. 1t may be, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer, that distance lends cnchant-
ment to the view, and that romance
surrounds these old-time stories; and
yet there are deeds being done in this
prosaic age which to the jewellers In
future centuries will shine as brightly
as "rich jewel in an Ethiops ear" A
few days ago large lake steamer, the
City of Duluth, was caught in one of
those storms that so often sweep Lake
Michigan, and in the attempt to make
St. Joseph she struck the bar off that
port. 1t was at once seen that the yes
sci was doomed, and that the 40 persons
on board were in imminent peril. For
several hours tugs labored to rescue
them, but Intellectually, and at last the
life-saving service came to the rescue,
and all the people on board were
brought ashore by the breaches buoy.
During the five hours of terror the chief
officer, Capt Donald Maclean, did all
that he could do to keep hope and cour-
age in the hearts of passengers and
crew. and not until the last person had
been drawn ashore did he make an eff
fort to leave his post. Such instances
of heroism are rare. There are times In
a mau's life when something nnexpect-
ed may stir him to heroic action, when
some noble impulse sways his soul and
determines him to self-sacrifce. But
many of the humble heroes of to-day
have no such impulse to stir them. They
are surrounded by the commonplace;
their duties are prosaic, and yet when
peril comes they obey the call of duty;
they resolve to do the thing which has
been sci Them to do. The engineer of a
train who dies at his post and with his
ham, on the throttle of his engfne, has
obeyed the cav a.. of duty; the fireman
who rushss into flames to save human
life and dies there gas filled. not with
an impulse, but with high moral pur-
pose. and though the trumpet of fame
may never sound their praises in the
market place they are as worthy Of hon
or IS are they who fell at Thermopylae.
There is nothing theatrical in this hero
ism; 1t never expects applause: it sees
its duty and does it. Let the cynics say
what they may, the world is full ofsuch

ATwo-Handled Hammer.

People who stood around looking at
men clearing up debris of O torn-down
building were interested in the man
ner of welding a two-handled ham
mer which they saw in use there, and
in the hammer itself, which was bigg ger
than any one man could have handled.
It's two handles were inserted in it
like the spokes of wheel in a hub,
and they spread out like them. The
handles were held each by man, the
two men standing side by side.
The big hammer was used here in
breaking up stone so that it could be
handled. When the hammer had been
let fall two men standing by the
stone lifted it and bore it back by the
handles as two men might raise a lad
der by bearing back against the side
stripes while two men held the foot OF
the ladder on the other side. Here
the two men we're each holding
handle of the hammer.
When by the united labor of all
the big hammer had again been poised
in the air, the men in front stood aside
and it was again let fall upon the
stone. New York Sun.

Artificial Stone.

A firm in Scotland is engaged in the
manufacture of artificial stone, which
is, it is claimed, quite the equal of the
natural product in durability, hard
ness and in its ability to stand
weather tests. The ingredients are
principally lime and sand, with water
at very high temperature. After
being thoroughly incorporated the
mass is placed in molds and subjected
to temperature of about 400 degrees
Fahrenheit. superheated steam is the
heat employed for this purpose. 1t
is fact we'll understood by those
who have made the subject study
that artificial stone may be made sue
cessfully from the materials men
toned. Mortar and stucco are in ex-
istence in some parts of the world

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

The average amount of sickness in
human life is nine days out of the
year.
1t is noteworthy fact that sheer
thrive best in pasture infested with
moles. This is because of the better
drainage of the land.
The discovery has been made at Nc.

which will stand as severe tests as the

ings.

is now in operation in over 200 places
in the United States, according to Mr..

to thirty-five.
To determine the effect of the va
pors of melted asphalt on plant life,
experiments have been made by Pro-
fesser Sorauer with various plants,
shrubs, etc., by subjecting them for a
few hours to the action Of the vapor.
No immediate injury was noticeable,
but after q few days changes took
place which varied with different
plants.
The use of graphite as a lubricant
is now recommended even by the organ
of the Prussian steam boiler inspec-
ton society. An important condition,
however, is that the graphite must
not only be free from all hard foreign
bodies, such as quartz, but also be in
the shape Of fakes, which cling to the
rough surface of the metal and fill up
all irregularities left in the manufac-
turing.
A new viper has been discovered in
the sandy portions of the desert be-
tween Mushki and Persia, where it is
almost impossible to detect its pres
ence, owing to its habit of lying
buried in the sand with only its head

burrowing habits in snakes, trait
which probably originally led to the
atrophy by disuse of the limbs with
footed ancestors Of snakes.

Yiolets Chemically Perfumed.

AS violets are much in evidence
along the London thoroughfares, writes
a correspondent, the following Incl
dent may be of interest. 1 was in
chemists shop when coster girl en-
tered with large basket Of violets and
set it on the floor. I bought bunch
and then noticed the chemists assist
ant pass small glass phial to the
girl, the contents OF which she emptied
into the basket. ''Iricks Of trade, {"
said the chemist with smile, while
the merchant gave him look of sly
humor from under her hat. "What
was that she bought" I asked. "a
penn rth of wood violet" he re-
Piled. "Those French violets don't
smell. They rest on moist moss in
the basket, and the moist moss alb
serbs the perfume. That penn'orth
will sell the basket" Then he told
me that ''penn 'orth" Of musk per
fume was used to improve the selling
quality of pots of musk, and that he
had had hawker similarly ask: "a
forth of white rose, Guv'nor." As
/ went away I figured to my mind an
old lady bending ever that basket in
response to the merchants observa-
ton: Fresh, ma'am? Justsmell for
