the Rock was held by British garrison
under General Elliot against the COM

French from July 8, 1779 TO Nov. 20.

fact that every now and again the gar

visions by successful sorties kept them
from succumbing to hunger but
scuryy claimed nearly 1000 victims.
For weeks together over 6,000 shells

curious point about this siege is that
the governor of Gibraltar, after having
done everything he could think of to
strengthen the fortifications, issued a
proclamation calling ON any of the gar

to call on him with them, as he did not
wish the Rock to fall when by listening

SAVING AN OLD PAINTING.
Ingenious Method by witch II Was
Transferred TO New Canvas.


Did you ever hear of transferring
an old oil painting to new canvasF
said well known art connolsseur OF
this city. "0ne would declare ut first
blush that the thing was absolutely inl-
possible, but | saw IL done with pie
turc over eight feet square, and the
operation was perfect success The
painting TO which refer had been a
fine example Of the early Italian
school, but 1t had lain forgotten In a
garnet for many years and hdd become
so inerusted with dirt and CRIME that
1t was impossible to distinguish any Of
the details. Ordinarily 1t could have
been cleaned without trouble, but the
damp and mold of two centuries had
rotted the canvas until 1t was ready. to
fall apart at a touch, and scrubbing
was. of course, out of the question.
THAT was the condition of things
when 1t was taken in hand by an ex-
pert restorer from Belgium who hap
pened to be In the city. The first thing
he did was to glue hugo sheet OF
thick manila paper firmly to the face
Of the picture, Then he turned 1t over
carefully and picked Off every particle
of the old deeaying canvas, revealing
the rear surface OF the paint itself. 1t
was big job and required no end of
patience, but the last thread was flnal-
ly removed, and nothing was left but
the fragile shell OF pigment. That he
covered with the strongest fish glue.
and n new sheet of canvas WAS spread
over II and pressed down.
I'm few hours Il was perfectly dry,
and the painting was as firmly attach.
cd to It's new foundation as IL It had
been there from tho start Nothing
then remained but TO take off the ma
Mia paper, which was readily done
with hot water. After that the surface
was thoroughly cleaned, and the pic
ture is now almost as bright and clear
as II was when It left the painters

his eyes. II seemed to him that n veri-

Gem. lInxe orennic LIE.

Scientists frequently remind us that
gems possess life-organic life. Ey-
erybody knows that opals and pearls
grow dull when worn by invalids, and
1t has been lately proved that rubles
and the turquoise show the same sen
sibillty. Pearls are most delicate and
lose color and brilliancy and actually
die. Rings and pins should not be
worn by inyalids, because the invisible
emanations of disease penetrate the
microscopic interstlces of the gem and
kill its llfe.--Philadclphi Press.

Eyefything's in the baby's way

It's either chair, a table or door
Or clutter all over the plRyroom floor.

And we have TO kiss her forehead plump
And start her of with smile 10 play
And clear things out of the baby's way.
fSerything's in the bahys way.
She wants her do. and she wants her say;
She wants to do the things which are wrong,
And her will each day it grows more strong.
And We try 50 gently TO guide her right
And ask the Father Of all for light
But to her who wants her DO and say
Everything seems in the baby's way,
Eyerything's in the baby's way
From morning till night 50 babies say,
And 80 they are cross and fretiul, too,
And do the things they oughtn't 10 do,
And their ways are not our ways at ALL
And so they must cry and seold and fall
But we turn a hundred times day
And emile because it is haby's "way."

WEBSTER AND SECESSION.

Prof John B. McMaster has all inter
the Century Magazine on Daniel Webster,
In which he recalls an interesting docu-
ment written by Webster in his younger
days In 1907 the people of New England
were greatly aroused because of the En-
barge Law of that year. which threatened
to destroy the commerce OF that section
of the country. A mass-meet!ng was held
at Brentwood, a small town near Ports
mouth. n H. and Webster was there.
Webster made a speech which was re-
ceived with enthusiasm and a. committee
of seventeen, of whom Webster was one,
was appointed to frame resolutions and
write a report expressive of the sense OF
the meeting. Webster was selected to
prepare the report, md he put 1t in the
form of an Grafton addressed to President
Madison. In part he said: 1--WE shrink
from the separation Of these States as an
event fraught with incalcuahle evils, and
it is among our strongest objections TO
the present course of measures that they
tluve. in our opinion, a very dangerous
and alarming bearing on such an event
If a separation of the States ever should
take place it will be on some occasion
when one portion of the country under
takes TO control, to regulate, and to sacrl-
flee the interests of another, when
small md heated majority i'll the gov

ously disregard the interests and perhaps
stopping the mouths of a large and re-
spectacle minority, shall. by TASTY, rash
and ruinous measures threaten to destroy
essential rights and lay waste the most
important interests.
The time came when a small minority.
not even a small majority, in that section
of the country did contemptuousiy d!sre-
CARA the interests of the Southern people
and by- "hasty. rash and ruinous measures
threaten to destroy essential rights ana

It was then that the Southern people de-
termined TO Withdraw from the Union. as
Mr.. Webster clearly threatened that Ne"
England would do unless the Embargo
Law should be repealed, and then it was
that the Northern forces invaded South
ern territory in an attempt to whip the
South back. At that time, when he saw
that the rights of his people were
tramplea under foot and their territory
invaded by the Northern forces. Robert
e. Lee decided to cast his lot with his
own people, and for that act the narrow
minded bigots of New England to this

THE JONES AND CROKER BLUM
DER.

Richard Croker has proclaimed to his fol-
election officers are manipulating the bal
lots that they should. attack them with
physical force and throw them out in the
street. This is. of course, nothing but an
Indictment to violence and bloodshed and
if his followers are foolish enough to take
him at his word. the streets of New
York may sun red with blood before the
election next Tuesday is concluded Sena-
tor Jas. *. Jones, chairman Of the National
Democratic party, has followed Mr.. Croker.s
example and has issued an address to the
Democrats Of the nation counselling them
TO resort to physical violence TO keep the
Republicans from cheating them out of
IN election which he says they have Won
This, also, is an Indictment to revolution
and boodIled, no matter what the inten-
lion may be. II it has come to the point
that the mob is not to be bound by the
law, but whenever it concludes that the
officers OF the law are proving faithless
TO their sworn duties. it IS to be justified in
lIsurping the functions Of the officers OF
the law by violence and physical force.
then indeed has the rule of law come
10 an end and anarchy has really become
the order Of the day. Our elections, upon
this theory, are no longer to be conducted
by the officers of the law according to
rules laid down by civil power beforehand,
/. but according 10 the will Of the strongest
of rival mobs that happen TO be con-

1t is hard to believe that Messrs. Croker
and Jones have issued these manifestOS
in seriousness and with an expectation
that their followers win act upon them.
But why have they been issued at all?
IL is past comprehension 1T was a great
fllinder and the Republicans are using
II for all it is worth to make the people
ltelieve that the Democratic party is
tie party of riot and revolution. More
prer, the Republicans will naturally say
to Chairman Jones, of Arkansas: tPhysi-
Elan. heal thyself.'' No concealment is
made of the fact that the negroes are
either cheated or bulldozed in the South,
and If they should take the advice which
aIessrs Jones and Croker have given to
Democrats and crowd the polls and at
tempt to knock down and drag out the
election officers, barrel of blood would
be shed throughout the Southern States
