THE MODERN MANGLE.
Ironing Machines With q Daily Capacity
 of Many Thonsands of Pieces

AA
 of Many Thousands of Pieces.
 Mangles in one form and another have been used for hundreds of years, but the steam mangle of the present day is es- sentially modern machiBe Steam man. gles are made of various sizes, with rolls ranging in length from AS inches to 120 inches One of the rolls is of hollow steel and heated with steam. The auxil- iary rolls are of iron, covered with cot ton cloth and blankets or felting. Steam mangles are made also with two hot rolls. In ironing such things as sheets and tablecloths by hand, it is customary to iron one side only. Steam mangles with single hot roll iron in that man. ner. With two hot rolls the steam man. gle irons with smooth finish on both sides.
 Mangles are used only for fiat articles; for things without buttons or buckles; for sheets and pillow cases, tablecloths and napkins, towels and handkerchiefs, and so on. Mangles of the largest size will iron of hotels washing, taken just as it comes, II, GOO pieces in day; of small pieces, such as napkins, they will iron four times as many pieces in day
 From the washing machine the things go to an extractor to be dried. The ex- tractor revolves at high speed, and the moisture is whirled out by centrifugal action. From the extractor, just damp enough to work we'll, the things go to the mangle. Such things as sheets are fed into the great ironing machine by two men, each holding a corner. There is a fixed table, as long as the rolls at tached to the machine on the other side. Two men receive the sheet there and fold it. In ironing small pieces like napkins and towels on such machine they would be fed in by 8 row of girls standing on one side and be received by another row of girls on the other side. On the largest machines there would be six or eight girls on each side. Amer iean steam mangles are used not only in this country, but they are sold in all the countries of Europe as we'll
 A great many mangles are made with wood rolls of polished maple. Such mangles are sometimes operated by power, but commonly by hand. They are used in hotels and laundries and res taurants and for household work. Man gles with wood rolls are exported to the various countries of Spanish America and to South Africa and Australia- New York Sun,

Struck the Right Man.

During visit to Massachusetts a distinguished author was invited by a friend to a meeting of an agricultural society, then holding it's annual session in the town.
 The invitation was accepted, and au- thor and friend took seats near the door
 Nearly every farmer i'll the house had something to say. Finally the president, pointing toward the author, said:
 Everybody's given us talk to- night, except the farmer down there by she door-I mean the brother with the naze1 beard the boots and the sloueh hat. can tell by his looks that he's & farmer, and nothing but farmer, and call upon him to take the floor and tell us how crops arc ill hls neighbor- hood. y
 The man referred to was Hamlin Garland, but he was equal to the occa- sion, and rising he said
 Yes I'm farmer, and I'm proud of 1t, but just now I'm doing little literary work in order to get money enough to pay off my hands. "-Atlanta
 His Income.
 James Payn tells of we'll known singer many years ago who in the pride of his heart greatly exaggerated to the tax collector his own assessment. The fact is," he confessed to the commits sioners, 1T have not 1000 pence of cer- tain income. But are you not stage manager to the opera house?" Yes, but there is no salary attached to it. 7" ''But you teach2' Yes, but I have no pupils. J Then you are a concert sing CT True. but I have no engage ments. '' 'tAt all events you have a very good salary at Dreyy Lane '' "A very good one, but then it's never paid. " Under these circumstances the tax was remitted.
 Wild Animals In Chicago.
 Seems funny to hear of hunting wild animals in Chicago doesn't it? And yet in the big grassy corners of the city there are still lurking denizens of the forests and prairies A man in West Ridge has made good deal of money recently by trapping minks and selling their fur. And there are weasels that catch his chickens In the same neigh borhood hunters have found prairie chickens, ooons that nihble the growing corn and lots of rabbits and ground hogs. And it was only last summer that B Chicago farmer shot an African hyena in corner of his cowyard; but he learned atterward that it had escaped From the zoo, And thus you see tf7ae Chicago has not yet lost all of the flavor of the wild woods.

BUFFALO BILLS START.
Mere Accident Made the Well Known
 Scout a Snowman.

 Scout Snowman.
 An old Nebraslan was speaking of Buffalo Bill recently, and incidentally he told how he came to engage in tho show business
 "Cody was for years a government scout on the western plains" said the Nebraska man, and it was when he conducted the buffalo exterminating ex- petition fer the entertainment of the Grand Duke Alexis in 1870--I think it was--that he got his name. Cody at that time distinguished himself by the number of buffaloes he killed, and there by earned his cognomen, which was given him by the duke. While he was well known as a scout, he would prob ably have never been widely known as a snowman except for an accident.
 1t was in 1881 that the people of North Platte, Neb., near which town was Cody's ranch, decided to celebrate the Fourth of July, and at the sugges- tion of John Kieth, who is wealthy ranchman at Sutherland and North Platte and formerly claim adjuster of the Union Pacific, they selected wild west show. Cody was one of the men most prominently interested ill the scheme, and to him was left the work of securing the cowboys and Indians to help out the show. In North Platte at the time was an old stagecoach owned by Jim Stephenson of Omaha, who was the proprietor of the Deadwood- Sidney and other western stage lines. At the suggestion of Cody the Indians were to attack the coach and be repulsed by the cowboys and soldiers
 '.That Fourth was the hottest cele- bration of American independence ever seen in Nebraska. The Omaha papers had men to cover it, and it attracted a crowd from all parts of the west. The programme which Cody and Kieth ar- ranged included riding wild horses, shooting, rope throwing and all the oth- CT amusements and business proceedings of a western man.
 It was few days after the enter tainment, if such it may be called that Matt Kieth, no relation of John, but an old time western man. told Cody that 1t was big thing and ought to be repeat ed every Fourth of July. Cody at once said that it was something new in American entertainments, and he be- lieved that by taking the aggregation east he could make money. The matter was discussed in North Platte, and finally Cody said that he would ad- vance the money and start out He did so, and his success is well known.
 When he first started, be had but a nnall show, but he has added to it. He got with him Major Burke, Sherm Can- field, Bill MoGune, and last, but by no means least, Nate Salisbury. There was 3 quartet that cannot be beat, and with Cody boomed the business Bill has made and spent dozen fortunes and is today making money like q cranberry merchant. n-New York Press.

BEAUTIFUL EVIL.
The Typica: Rascal Is Never the Splendid
 Villain Of Romance.


 If the revIlsion from romantieism to realism which has taken place in the higher class of fiction could descend al- so to the lower, it would go far toward the correction of an influence baleful in the extreme to thousands of young lives. But unhappily such reform is impos- sible in the very nature of things, for ia proportion as fiction becomes true to life it takes rank with the higher order, and thus passes beyond the class Of readers by whom it is most needed.
 For this evil influence of low sensa. tional literature the newspaper must share the responsibility with the cheap novel A splendid villain is always more interesting character than a dis gusting brute, so whatever nature or fortune may have done to favor orim- inal is usually grossly exaggerated. If he happens to possess comeliness of per- son, grace of manner or intelligence above the common in his class, the pub lie is usually regaled with rhapsodical descriptions of his beauty, refinement and intellect, and even visitors to his cell are apt to be so hypnotized by their reading and their own fancy that they fail to discover the exaggeration.
 The typical rascal is never the hero that romance, whether in the dime nov el or the newspaper, pictures him. His intelligence is, as rule, of very low order, confined to keenness and cun- ming, which act in the narrow circle of first preying upon his victims and then trying to outwit justice. Compare it with the intelligence which works for good. His courage is generally greatly overestimated. He rarely fights except when he has the overwhelming adyan- tage or when he is driven into cor ner. His magnanimity and suitability qualities especially credited to him by writers and readers of the low ro- mantle school-are myths. They are no part of his business save as they serve to cloak his villainy. Pure selfshness or ct best physical temperament is at the bottom of his good humor, apparent generosity and even his family affec- tion, for when the crucial test comes he will sacrifice anybody and everybody to self. The proverbial "honor among thieves" holds good only to certain point. The moment it becomes clear that no advantage, direct or indirect, remains to the individuals of the gang the vaunted honor is thrown to the winds, the gang disbands, each clutch es what he can from the wreck of their common fortunes and henceferth preys upon his former pals with no more com junction than he feels in preying upon the rest of the world.

HE NEVER LOVED A LORD.
Dnt His Five Girls Married Titles, All
 fhe Sauc...

Bat His Five Girls Married Titles, All
 the Same.
 It was evident that he was not only pretty we'll satisfied with himself, but that he didn't care who knew it.
 Five daughters, :" he said, land eV- cry one of them married to title. That's a pretty good record for a man who wouldn't be considered rich enough to buy more than one high grade title.
 s'I don't see how you did it. 7 sug- gested the man who knew nothing ex- cept that the husband with title was ordinarily quoted att pretty stiff figure.
 "Oh, it's easy when you know how, replied the self satisfied man. So far as I am concerned would have prefer red to marry the girls to enterprising young Americans with no titles, but their mother insisted upon getting them something more fashionable, and when their mother insists have to hump myself and see that things come the way she wants them. I confess it was something of problem at first, but when I got it figured out in my mind and began playing the cards it was so easy that I was inclined to be ashamed of myself for not trying something harder. n
 The self satisfied man stopped long enough for the listener to suggest that he would be glad to hear the story, and then, in view of the fact that they were all married and publicity could do no harm, he told it.
 '.I took all my available assets, :" he for my eldest daughter. Naturally there was rush for her, and she was able to take her pick of five. I rushed matters as much as possible, got her married, gave up the dowry had promised, and then steered her titled husband against the Stock Exchange, where gave him some bad tips took his trades myself through broker and won back all the dowry and part of his ancestral estates. Then l gave the dowry to my second daughter, got her married and played the same game with her husband. l worked the scheme right through the family, until I finally married my youngest to baronet yesterday. got them to postpone their wedding trip for 8 few days, so as to give me chance to win back the dowry before they had spent any of it, and by day after tomor- TOW expect to be on Easy street again, without care in the world. If girls must have titles, why, am in favor of giving them to them, but don't believe in contributing large fortunes to the support of the toetering monarchies of the old world, and, what's more, 1 don t intend to do it.

Ex-Minister Terrell Pays Tribute to His
 Charm of Manner.

Ex-MiniSter Terrell Pays tribute 10 Ak
 Charm of Manner.
 Hon. A. ". Terrell, formerly United States minister at Constantinople, con- tributes An Interview With the Sul- tan'' to The Century. Mr. Terrell says:
 The sultan is over 50 years old, of medium height, with clear olive com plexion, dark hair, high forehead and large dark brown eyes. The habitual expression of his face is one of extreme sadness. Though the pashas who attend his palace when ministers or embassa- dors are entertained are decorated with regal splendor, he always appears in plain garb, wearing red fez, frock coat and trousers of dark blue stuff and patent leather shoes. A broad service sword with steel scabbard, which he holds sheathed in his hand, completes the costume. Sometimes a single decora- tion is worn on his breast When he is seen thus plainly attired in the throne room of his palace, on the first day of the feast of Bairam, seated on an otto- man covered with cloth of gold, to re- ceive the congratulations of his civil and military chiefs, who are all radiant in uniforms and decorations, the con- trast is very striking. No Christians but those of the diplomatic corps ever witness this impressive ceremony, which is conducted with the order that distin- guishes a military review, but with an oriental servility that an American finds 1t difficult to understand On such occa- sions Osman Pasha stands at the sul- tan's left, holding cloth of gold scarf. which all reverently kiss after saluting their ruler
 No sovereign in Europe is more court iy or refined in entertaining his guests, and few can be more agreeable in con versation. In his personal intercourse with foreign representatives he is alike free from that suited dignity which re- pels confidence and from that absence of real dignity which invites familiarity
 When first dined at the palace, the sultan sat at the head of the table, with Mrs Terrell at his right and myself at his left. Osman Pasha, Ismael Pasha, the former khedive of Egypt the grand vizier and other ministers of state were the other guests.
 Nothing could excel the excellence of the cuisine of which he partook with his guests the table service and deeora- tions, the magnifcence of the dining room or the excellence of his wines, which always remain untasted except by Christian guests Each pasha wore the insignia of his rank, blazing with stars and decorations, while the plain costume of the sultan was alone in har- mony with my own. No armed men stood guard at the palace doors, and ex- cept detail from the imperial guard, who always salute foreign representa- tive on his arrival, no soldiers have ever been seen by me within the palace walls on any of the occasions when I have dined there.
