He Knew How to Advertise.

An original form of an advertise
ment comes from Russia, where a
shopkeeper posted up the following
announcement:
"The reason why l have hitherto
been able to sell my goods SO much
cheaper than anybody else Is that |
am bachelor, and do not need to make
profit for the maintenance of a wife
and children. 1t is now my duty to in
form the public that this advantage
will shortly be withdrawn from them,
as l am about to be married. They
will, therefore. do we'll to make their
purchases at once at the old rate"
The result was that there was such
run on the shop that in the course
of a few days this shopkeeper had
made enough money to pay the ex-
penses of his wedding on very lavish
scale.

spain's Great building.

Spain possesses one of the largest
buildings in the world. 1t is at once a
palace. museum, library. a picture
gallery, monastery, a church and a
burial place. Thia wonderful edifice
is called the Escorial, although the
name is very generally corrupted both
In England and America into "Escuri-
al"
The Escorial was commenced in 1863
by order of Philip II. Of Spain and was
intended partly as a royal burial place
for the kings Of Spain and partly as a
commemoration Of Philips victory
over the French at St. Quentin In 1857.
1t is built entirely of granite, and
measures 744 feet in length by $50 feet
in breadth. At each corner is a tower
200 feet In height. The building is
supposed to represent an enormous
gridiron lying upside down, and this
shape is believed to have reference to
st. Lawrence, who was martyred on a
gridiron.
Twenty-one years were spent in
building 1t. and 1t cost $12,OOO,OO0. 1t
has been twice partly destroyed by
lightning and was sacked by the
French soldiers in 1908. There are
$4,000 doors and 11,000 windows.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Tho Nearest Approach TO . Perpetual
Motion Machine Yot Discovered.

Tho Nearest Approach TO Perpetual
Motion Machine Yet Discovered.
A Kankakee county, ILL.,, man is the
possessor Of one of the most wonderful
clocks In the country. This clock is as
near a perpetual motion machine as
any piece OF mechanism yet designed.
The owner Is not a perpetual motion
crank, but is jeweler named Peter M.
Ravenskilde of Cabery, a town in the
southwestern portion of Kankakee
county.
Inc clock Is the product of many
years Of study and labor and consider
able expense. 1t keeps accurate time
and will run for a year without the
least attention from its owner.
Ihe clock proper Is run with wheel
80 inches In circumference. From the
orter surface Of the circumference was
suspended 120 cups, each one-half inch
In diameter and third Of an inch
deep. Each Of forty of these cups,
which are successive, contain steel
balls three-eighths of an inch in diam
eter.
Every minutean half as this wheel
turns by the weight of these balls one
OF them falls out of its cup, rolls down
an inclined plane 20 inches long, when,
by its own weight, 1t reunites broken
circuit of electricity and is again ele-
waited by little car travelling along
sleeper inclined plane to the top of
the wheel, where 1t falls into cup
which stands vertical for short time.
After the car discharges its cargo it
returns to Its original station from its
own weight From the time one of
these balls is dropped into a cup until
1t Is again dropped into another cup it
travels SO inches. Thus the work done
by all the balls is equivalent to one ball
travelling over one mile a day. 400
miles in one year, and during the life
time of person living threescore
years the distance around the globe.
The electricity used is generated in
an ordinary storage battery, which
does not require any attention for fully
a year.

Alcohol I'm Sticka.

A new invention Of great importance
has just been patented by a German
chemist, julius Norden of Aldenhoven,
Germany. He has succeeded in hard
ening alcohol until it becomes a solid
mass. This will insure a very much
greater popularity for the employment
Of alcohol. 1t now comes in small
cylindrical pieces, packed in patent tin
boxes. that can be used for cooking,
lighting, heating and the various uses
OF everyday life.
The solidified alcohol burns without
a wick, can be blown out after use, and
then hardens again within a minute.
The danger Of explosion is absolutely
done away with, and the neat little
tin package, with Its stick OF alcohol,
is always ready for use in the kitchen
or bed room, on the toilet table or I'M
der the milk pot, on the road or in the
field, as a night lamp or going upstairs

From the New York journal.
In the Journals financial review for
the past week this instructive comment
is made on the advance in sugar stock
Two OF the leading influences of the
week which helped to bring about the
better feeling in speculative circles
were the regular dividend payment on
sugar stock and the unexpected increase
in the declaration on Atchson pre-
ferred. There was a threat by the in
siders that the sugar dividend would be
cut, but it was simply in the nature OF
a notice to certain speculative holders
that they must let go of their stock, as
the insiders wanted to pick it up. The
stock was promptly dropped causing
the market to decline and enabling the
insiders to gather it in. 1t was decided
ly dishonorable, but it was in line with
the usual Wall street methods.
No stronger evidence could be given
OF the lack OF honesty shown by the
sugar people. The stand-and-deliye
policy of the highwayman is innocent
compared to the methods OF the Sugar
trust, which not only robs the public
but flches from the stockholders by
reducing the size OF the dividends.
How little faith there is in the in
tegrity Of the managers Of this concern
is shown by the value which investors
place upon its stock. Although it pays
IL per cent it sells anywhere from 500
to $16O a share, while number OF
honest stocks which declare only Z per
cent dividends sell for over $500 a share.
Why should not the sugar manager
who dishonesty manipulates valuable
property for his personal profit be put
in Sing Sing like any other thief,
whether his name is Havemeyer or
Jones?

FREELAND, PA, JUNE is, 1899.


From the Philadelphia Record.
Captain b. f. Havens, who is in
Washington after having served six
months in Cuba as paymaster of the
volunteer army, has given an extended
account of his experiences. He travel
ed very extensively through the provin-
ces OF Pinar del Rio, Havana, Matanzas
and Santa Clara, and came into con-
tact with all the diversified elements of
the population.
According to his account he did not
find the Cubans to be horde of thrift
less, unruly and debased human beings.
Instead, he discovered them to be docile
and law-abiding, but the subjects OF
more misinformaton and misrepresen-
tation than any other people on the
globe"
Captain Havens declares that epi-
sodes which policeman in the United
States would not deem serious enough
to report to his superiors are described
in the press dispatches from Cuba as
horrible outbreaks of violence and
crime.
Nor did this observant officer en-
counter during his travels through the
interior any of the much feared banditti
who are said to infest some of the prov
inces. Once, indeed, he saw two cap
tured and handcuffed negroes who were
pointed out as terrible villains, and it
developed that they were guilty of the
heinous crime of chicken stealing.
Concerning the reports that there is
danger Of insurrection against the
United States Captain Havens says: 81
think it is true that there is unrest
among many of the natives; but it i.
perfectly natural under the circum
stances. If | were Cuban, as l am al
American, l would also feel some unrest
as to the situation"
The conclusion reached by Captain
Hayens as a result OF his observation.
is that the present unsettled conditions
are due to the fact that the Cubans dc
not know what is to become OF them
They are oppressed by the belief thai
they will be placed under subjugatior
by the United States and held in bond
age.
The memory and the woes of Spanish
oppression still weigh upon them, anc
their appeal is now for something like
definite statement from the Washing
ton government as to their future.
In short, as Captain Havens intimate,
but hesitates to declare, they desire tina,
the administration shall abandon its
present policy OF drift and say whether
or not the island is to be annexed.

The Manner in Which to Decorate With
Heated Irons.
The decoration Of wood by the appli-
cation of heated irons Is an art of long

amples Of old work are occasioally to
be found For trifiing sum a complete
apparatus may be bought, which in
cludes a platinum point that is kept
heated while the work is in progress,
not by electricity, as many suppose,

piled by pressure on a rubber bellows
which is connected by tubing to bot
Tie half filled with benzine. When be-
ginning the work, the point should not
be heated In any fame but that of an
alcohol lamp. Any other fame would
De liable to smoke and ruin the point.
In burning outlines remember that to
make broad, firm line 1t is not neces-
sary to press. The lines are to be
scorched, not incised The point is
held and guided much in the same
manner as drawing pencil, but some
llfle practice is needed to enable the
worker to pass 1t smoothly and readily
over the wood, the tendency of all be-
ginners being to allow 1t to rest and
make dots. No discouragement, how
ever, must be felt at this, as with a
little practice the manipulation will be-
come easy, and the worker be able to
make dark or light strokes at will.
Bold outlines and strongly burned
backgrounds come out we'll on ordinary
white wooden articles, such as tables,
STOOLS, chairs, bowls, plates, racks, ETC.
