Casting Metals.

AS is well known, some metals are
unsuitable for casting, while others
like iron, can readily be cast in any de
sired shape. The property of casting
well is said to depend upon whether
the metal contracts or expands on so
lidifying from the liquid form. Iron
like water, expands in solidifying, and
hence the solid metal may be seer
floating in the liquid iron about It, The
expansion causes it to fill the die into
which 1t is poured, and so it can be
cast easily. Gold and silver contract
iu cooling and therefore are not suita
Bile for casting.

AFRAID OF BEING KISSED.
Clever story of Man, a Maid and
an Iron Kettle.


Here is an ingenious Circassian sto-
ry: A man was walking along one
road and woman along another The
roads finally united, and the man and
the woman, reaching the junction at
tbs same time, went on from there to-
| gether. The man was carrying large
iron kettle on his back. In one hand
he held by the leg a live chicken, in the
other a cane, and he was leading a
goat. Just as they were coming to a
deep, dark ravine the woman said to
the man:
81 am afraid to go through that dark
ravine with you. 1t is lonely place,
and you might overpower me and kiss
me by force"
IF you are afraid Of that" said the
/ man, ''you shouldn't have walked with
me at all How can possibly over
come you and kiss you by force when l
have this great iron kettle on my back,
cane in one hand and live chicken
In the other and am leading goat? l
might as well be tied hand and foot"
EYES," replied the woman, but if
you should stick your cane in the
ground and tie the goat to 1t and turn
the kettle bottom side up and put the
chicken under 1t. then you might wick
edly kiss me in spite of my resist
ance"
Success to thy ingenuity, 0 wom-
an!'' said the man to himself. II should
never have thought of this expedient."
| And when they came to the ravine he
stuck his cane into the ground and
tied the goat to it. gave the chicken to
the woman, saying, Hold 1t while
cut some grass for the goat" and then,
lowering the kettle from his shoulders,
he wickedly kissed the woman, as she
was afraid he would. Stray Stories,

The Enrth,a shndnxv.

The earth has shadow, but few
ever see it except in eclipse of the
moon. Nevertheless many of us have
noticed on fine, cloudless evenings in
summer, shortly before sunset, rosy
or pink arc on the horizon opposite the
sun, with blush gray segment under
it. AS the sun sinks the arc rises until
it attains the zenith and even passes it.
This is the shadow of the earth.

DOG AND PUPPY CRATES.
Made For the Convenient Transpor

Made For the Convenient Transpor-
tntion of These Animals.
The dog that is shipped by express Is
likely to travel in these days not only
in safety, but also in comfort There
are various kinds of dog crates made
especially for such use, some of them
fiat topped and some Of those Of later
design gable topped and some oval
topped, so that nothing can be placed
on top of them. Dog crates are made
in various sizes as well as styles, some
with open, Slated sides and ends, some
closed all around, except for the open
spaces left for ventilation. Crates for
bulldogs and dogs that gnaw are made
with Stats that, whether separated or
set close together, are iron bound, so
that the dogs can't set their teeth In
the edges.
The dog crate is provided with cup
for water which Is so constructed that
the water can't spill out Of 1t, and this
cup is secured in the crate under the
end of pipe to which there is an open
ing in the top of the crate through
which the dog can be kept supplied
without opening the crate at all. At
tached to the front Of the crate is the
dogs buffet, like long canvas wallet
or envelope, in which the dogs food
Is carried. The dog crate has at the
ends handles by which it can be picked
up and carried as a trunk would be.
Besides these various sizes and styles
of dog crates there are also made in
various sizes smaller, lighter crates for
puppies, and crates of one sort and an
other of special sizes are made to or

Ancient Origin Of military Salute.

When did the military salute come
into use? 1t certainly dates from the
earlier half of the fifteenth cen
fury, says the London Chronicle. In
the ''Speculum Humane Salvationis,' ?
which was issued before the invention
of printing by movable types, there is
an exceedingly quaint illustration in
which Abraham is represented as sa-
luting Melchisedec. The patriarch is
in medieval armor and apparently on
guard, and it would seem that Mel
chisedec is bringing him refreshments
of water, and the salute is distinctly
the military one still in use.

THE BREAD WAS AN EXTRA

An English Cafe Charge That Sur
prised an American.
Zone Of the strangest things about
the management of English restau-
rants" remarked gentleman who has
recently returned from visit to Lon
don to the writer, us the custom of
charging diners for every slice of bread
which they eat. For instance, a day
or two before my departure from the
British capital l, as mark of esteem,
invited several English friends to dine
with me at one of the most celebrated
of the fashionable west end restau-
rants. Well, the repast was served In
private room, and everything went
off splendidly until the coffee and cigar
stage was reached and l asked that
my bill be brought to me- There, to
my utter establishment, the head
waiter, in the hearing Of the assem-
bled company, approached me and in
loud voice asked, And how many
breads ave you 'ad, sir?,
This question / could not answer,
as had not been engaged in counting
the number of slices consumed, but
one of my guests, who had evidently
kept track Of the bread, noticing my
embarrassment, said in my behalf,
-Four plates
"'Ah,' muttered the waiter, that's
shillin hextra.' And after adding
the amount to my bill he handed it to
me for inspection.
"Of course paid for the bread, but /
have been wondering ever since l did

charging for the staff of life is not

bred in any political discus
sion in North Carolina. We
have a notorious habitof going
into our political discussions
with the private opinion pub
licly expressed that the other
fellow is a scoundrel and a
demagogue. The merits of
the question are not weighed
at all. It is a question, for
the most part, of beating the
other fellow, of winning for
one party. and defeating an
other. Let the reader bear
witness to the truth of this.
If the Republicans should adj
vocate the millennium, the Pop
ulists perfect love, and the
Democrats entire sanctihca-
ton, the lines of division
would remain just as they are
now under the dispensations
of the gold standard, govern
ment ownership, and free sill
yer. We are going to have
division and strife so long as
the people refuse to think for
themselves. Now, as to the
amendment, let the reader
get it and read it before he
advocates it or calls the man
who favors it a tyrant or one
who opposes it a scalawag.
Read it. Think about it. If
you find yourself incapable of
doing SO, do not talk about it
and do not vote on it. We
have examined it closely. We
stake our reputation for UNI
derstanding plain English on
it, that the amendment is de-
signed to disfranchise litter
ate colored voters, and that it
will not affect the suffrage of
any white man. We do not
see why there should be any
great strife or division about
this. All who favor disfran-
chising illiterate colored vot-
ers ought to be allowed to
vote for it, and all in favor of
retaining them in the body
polite ought to be allowed to
vote against it. A clear un-
derstanding will make for
peace
