SETTING TIRES.
The Old Way of Shrinking Them on
and the Modern Way.

The old way of putting a tire on a
wheel was TO shrink 1t on. The tire
was made just trifle smaller than the
wheel and then heated, with the result
of expanding 1t slightly. When thus
heated it was crowded down over the
rim of the wheel and then cooled with
water to keep it from burning the
wheel and also to contract ii. Cool
ing, 1t was shrunk on TO bind the wheel
tightly The modern way OF putting
tire on a wheel Is with a hydraulic
tire setting press.
By this method the tire is made just
q trifie larger than the wheel, SO that
1t will 60 over the rim freely. The
bed of this press. upon which the
wheel lies horizontally. with an open
ing at the center for the hub, is COM
posed Of IS sections. radiating from
the center and in shape like the spaces
between the spokes OF wheel The
outer end OF each section Is turned up
ward, the turned up ends making
. continuous hange, or collar. all around
sections has under II a hydraulic cylin-
der, and the sections are all arranged
to work TO a common center. In use
the wheel is laid on the press with the
cold tire around II within that turned
up collar. or fiange, around the edge.
When the press is set In operation. the
collar. or fiange is irresistibly contract
ed. When II comes In contact with the
tire around the wheel. II does not bring
up against IL, but keeps on contracting
just the same. now contracting the
tire as well and setting 1t upon the
wheel, the pressure being continued
until the wheel itself has been brought
to the requisite degree of dishing.-

William NJ. Tweed was portly man
Of medium size. with long, pendulous
nose. little porcine eyes. fat, dropping
cheeks and a straight. firm mouth that
was decidedly his best feature. The
outlines OF his face were those of a
Bartlett pear, little end upward. and
never saw craft SO palpably written
upon a human countenanee. Mast
used to be fond of drawing Tweed's
face, by the way, as a sack OF money.
The general contour of his head lent
itself to the outlines OF the sack, and
he used s marks for the nose and eyes
Strange to say. 1t was a capital por-
trait
Another of Nast's trick pictures was
one of Roscoe Conkling. He would
draw a large letter V, with a smaller V
inside It and surmount the pair with
an Interrogation mark upside down.
The big represented Conkling's point
ed beard, the smaller one his sharp
nose and the Interrogation point the
Hyperion curl which he always allowed
to fall negligently upon his forehead
That caricature made the naughty SEN
ator wild and exasperated him more
than any bit of fun that was ever poked
In his direction.-New Orleans Times

One summer a number Of years ago
Amos Cummings passed two weeks
on a pilot boat and took Ernest Jar
rold, the author OF Mickey Finn
Idylls," with him for company. One
day q great storm arose, and the pilot
boat was tossed about on the waves
like a chip. Every minute a wave
would dash over the deck and threaten
to carry everything away and swamp
the boat Cummings and Jarrold were
In the little cabin. the former lying
in a bunk intently reading a book on
the French revolution. Jarrold poked
his head out TO look at the storm.
when a mountain of sea water fell
with q boom on the deck and filled his
eyes with spray. The boat gave .
fearful lurch and careened until 1t
seemed that she must turn completely
over.
This is awful, Amos" said Jarrold.
I'm going to put on life preserver.
for / don't think the boat can stand
1t many minutes longer"
"Oh, keep quiet and let me read.
Mickey" said Cummings. never lifting
his eyes from the page. The men
on this boat draw a regular salary TO
keep her afioat"-Saturday Evening

GREEDY MkCKEREl.
A Gorging Feast and the Way IL
Was Managed.

l once enjoyed the privilege OF seeing
an army of mackerei successfully cor
ner a shoal OF small fry In a rocky
shallow pool which was a eul de sac.
The mackerel swan behind their VIC
tins in serried ranks. a company OF
hungry, determined creatures, intent
upon a gorging feast TO which there
need be no limit They had followed
the fry for miles maybe, merely swal-
lowing one here and one there to keep
their appetites whetted. Now they had
cornered them where there was no es-
cape for their victims. No alert fisher
man on the lookout for just such an
opportunity was at hand TO convert
their triumph and feasting into captiyi-
~ and lamentation. They might feast
at will.
And, We gods. feast they did, No
one who has not seen II would believe
that the cubic capacity Of mackerel
could possibly deal successfully with
the number OF small fish he actually
swallows. The way he conducts the
operation of feasting is unique. Open
ing his mouth wide the maekerel darts
In among the small fry. some OF which
are perhaps one-third OF his own
length. In an instant one Of these Is
TO be seen sticking half in and half out
OF his mouth. Then the mackerel gives
one gulp. and the victim has disappear
ed. without a moments delay the
process Is repeated and repeated so
many times that the spectator cannot
fail TO be concerned for the immediate
future of the particular mackerel he
has watched. Yet nothing happens.
As for the fry, their helpless anguish
is somewhat heartrending. The whole
shoal of them boils and churns the wa.
ter In an agony Of fear. High into the
air they leap In order to avoid their
voracious enemies. landing themselves
often enough upon the weed covered
rocks which skirt the pool and painting
their lives out there rather than leap
back into the seething mass of their
harassed companions beneath.-Long-

WITH tender and reverent hand.

Steals soft forth Ger the land

Each one In his place apart;

THERE is every prospect that the

New York today will be the most
notable gathering OF its kind the
world has ever seen. So great Is the
interest manifested ia the conference
by the public that the tickets for all
the important sessions ara exhausted
and the ACCESSIBILITY of holding over

President Mckinley will arrive early
today. A notable feature of the gather

THE house committee on pension E
has been revising the general pension
laws. The most i'm portant Of the pro-
posed changes is to increase the age
limit on which pensions are to be al
lowed, fixing a sliding scale between
the ages of 81 and 70, viz: Six dollars
at 81 years, So at IS, $40 at SO, and $l2
at 20. Another important amendment
increases from 800 to $3.50 the amount
of annual income which a widow may
have without FORGETTING the right to o
pension. The republicans hope to pass
a bill to this effect.

IT Is stated at the treasury depart
ment that the general effect of the
new financial bill will be to greatly in
crease the banking facilities of the
smaller communities. Comptroller
Dawes has received large number of
applications for charters of banks
which Will be organized under the ma
tionsl system with capital of s25 900
In villages of less than 5000 inhabi-
tsnts. The extent to which this pro-
vision OF law is being availed OF shows
that the banking privileges which have
been extended by IL to the smaller
communities, thereby placing them on
an equality in these matters with the
larger communities, has long been
needed One of the natural effects of
this law should be reduction in the
rate of interest on loans.
