The Missing Line.

Bobby was writing his regular week
ly composition, for it was in the old
days when compositions and declama-
tons formed part of the school exer-
cises every Friday afternoon.
The subject of Bobby's essay was
True Manhood" and he wished to end
it with a poetical quotation. He gnaw-
ed his penholder, scratched his head,
and looked at the ceiling, but the quo
tation would not come.
Then he turned to his elder sister.
Rachel" he said, whats the line
that comes after this: Honor and
fame from no condition rise?
Il know" spoke up his younger sis
ter, and she promptly quoted:
Vinegar never catches flies.

Oars are made OF ash and of spri.ee-
by FAR the greater number of ash-in
factories located mostly in Western
States east of the Mississippi River in
proximity 10 the forests whence the
wood of which the oars are made is
taken. Oars are made almost wholly
by machinery, some hand-work being
done in finishing them. Ash oars are
made in various lengths, ranging from
six feet to twenty-four feet; they are
used for all working purposes and for
many pleasure boats. Spruce oars of
six TO ten feet in length are likely to be
used by people who row for pleasure,
and spoon oars from six to fourteen
feet in length for racing are made of
spruce.
American oars are used pretty much
all over the world; in many countries
almost exclusively. The British Gov
eminent hss Cor years bought all of the
oars used ON its war vessels in this
country, making new contract yearly.
The contract for the present years sup
ply is held by New York city firm
having factories in the West Ameri-
can oars are used also on FRENCH. Ger
man, Italian and Dutch ships.
The oars exported to European eoun-
tries are chiefly of lengths from ten
feet upward Oars of shorter lengths
they supply themselves. To Australia
the United States sends oars of su
lengths, and the same is true of South
Africa. Up and dowr the ceast of
South America none but American oars
are used, and in any harbor in the
world where n man is seen rowing n
boat, in China. Japan. anywhere, it is
more than likely that he is pulling with
American oars.
The present annual output of Amer

New York to Chicago. 1t has been

Mirrors in Lighthouses.

The use of mirrors for rejecting

date, and although the idea was not,
like certain other great discoveries.
suggested by the falling of an apple,
nor the dissection of a frog, it owes its
origin to n circumstance almost as triv-
i'll, which is as follows: At meeting
of the Society of Mathematicians at
Liverpool, one of the members pro-
posed to lay wager that he would
read paragraph of a newspaper at
ten yards distance with the light of a
farthing candle. The wager was laid
and the proposer covered the inside of
a wooden dish with pieces of looking
glass fastened in with GLACIERS putty,
placed his reflector behind the candle,
and won the wager. One of the COM
pany marked this experiment with a
philosophie eye. This was Captain
Hutchinson, the dockmaster. With him
originated those rejecting lighthouses
in Liverpool which were erected in
17G3.

There was a local custom-house at
the gate of Marseilles, and the wary in
spector, if he surmised that a package
contained contraband articles. resorted
TO the expcdient Of thrusting sharp
steel pick through It.
On the present occasion the donkey
had come up to the gate, and the in
spector was preparing to thrust his
pick into the basket, when the mother,
some distance behind, caught sight OF
the movement. The voice of fear is
strong, aud The sharp cry of the wom-
an that hersson was in the basket did
not fail to reach his ears. He threw
down his pick. and the child was saved.
The boy was Adolph Theirs.

1. He has called out two and n half

2. He has sent full million Of
white people to their graves.
3. He has carried mourning Into al
most every white household.
=. He has saddled the country with
