The SiIverware of Paul Revere,

The story of the midnight ride of
Paul Revere from Boston to the
Bridge at Concord Town" has become,
through Longfellow g lines, as familiar
to his countrymen as household word
but bis long life as good citizen and
artisan is less well known, and it may
interest some to learn what examples
we have remaining of his handlwork
The silverWare of Paul Revere is of
excellent workmanship and chaste in
form, evidently modelled after English
eighteenth century designs, and the
pieces Of plate manufactured by him,
and now so eagerly sought for by COL
lectors, are good examples of the style
at present so greatly In favor, which
We have agreed to call Colonial. The
simple classical forms adopted by our
struggling artisans at period when
art In this country was still in it's ''bib
and tucker" strangely enough have
never been improved upon by their
successors; and by reverting to them in
these latter days. our silversmiths, as
well as our cabinet makers are dis

THE INFLUENCE OF NOISE.
Important Factor In the Production OF
Disease.

Very few people realize how impor
tant factor noise is in the production
Of disease. Although not generally re
cognized, this is one of the principa
reasons why country life is NOR
healthful than city life. The proper
tionate excess of disease in cities il
not all due to defective dwellings anG
imperfect nutrition, although they
are grave contributing causes. 1t is
the ceaseless roar and din of a large
city that slowly but surely undermines
the health. Apart from its baneful
efects upon the sense of hearing itself
| the ceaseiess Babel of discordant
sounds peculiar to large cities exerts
q disastrous influence upon the brain
and nervous system, which may with
| ceres11Sy be =catalegued as one of the
principal causes of neurasthenia. 1t
| is true that the system becomes habit
uated to it. even as the operatives in a
boiler factory become so accustomed
to the changing of the hammers that
the cessation of work almost operates
as shock; but although the system
becomes trained to take no active cog
| nizance of it. It's demOralizing effects
are ever present. When will our leg
| islators recognize the fact that the
health of the community is its most
valuable asset, and take the necessary
steps to assist in preserving it ? Doubt
less there are many noises incidental
to city life which it Is impossible to
suppress, but very large proportion
of them are easily preventible-fo
instance. the incessant discordant
changing of car gongs, the screetching
and footing of switch engines in rail-
road yards, the rattle of heaily loaded
wagons over badly paved streets and
the deafening yells of fruit venders
and newsboys. In London the city
government has recently taken steps
to suppress the last named nuisance
a proceeding which might be followed
with advantage in our own cities. We
are led TO the above reflections by the
discharges Of crakers that characterize
the arrival of the all important Fourth
Of July, and at the risk of being con-
sidered deficient in patriotism we
would raise the question whether
nation like the American, which leads
the world in SO many important mat
ters, could not find some more reason
able method of expressing its jubila-
ton than by Il din OF discordant sound
emanating from fireworks, horns and
steam whistles ? The lower we descend
in the scale of humanity the greater
we find the partiality for noise. and
reasoning from this standpoint the
present means employed in the celebra-
ton OF popular events is by no means
complimentary to the boasted breeding
of the nation. We cannot avoid the
conclusion that in a nation of gentle
men the disease-producing din which
Is an accompaniment of present city
life would be conspicuous by its alb
sence.-From Health.

SENATOR CLARK'S INCOME.
Montana Copper King Said To Derive
$4,000 A Day From Mines

| "a good size-up of Senator Clark, ,
said William Quigley, lis obtained
when it is truthfully stated that he is
a man who not only laughs at great
trusts, but simply snaps his fingers in
their faces. The powerful Copper
Trust, known as the Amalgamated
Copper Company. would like very
much to get Senator Clark and his
vast interests under it's control This
man, however, not only repudiates all
advances, but hurls back defiance.
"He rolls in wealth that it would be
folly to try to compute, aud cares alb
solutely nothing for any man. His
copper mines are the most wonderful
IN the United States, besides which the
famous Calumet and HecIa mines fade
almost into inslgnifcance. and they
net him an income of easily $40, 900 a
day. He purchased this tract of land
around Jerome, Ariz after it has been
passed upon as a poor investment by a
number of mining experts.
1T has since developed to be literal
ly mountain of copper. The work
ing shafts are now down over 900 feet,
and a diamond drill sent into the earth
shows that the copper extends to dis
tance of over 1000 feet.
There is no Jerome mining stock
on the market, for Senator Clark owns
the whole thing, mines, machinery,
warehouses, and has his own railway.
His possessions are enormous, and he
is truly great rival of Rockefeller and
the Standard Oil Company. as far as
wealth is concerned.
Money, however, placed him in the
United States Senate. He would new
er have realized bis Senatorial ambi-
tiOns, however, if Marcus DAILY had
lived. DAILY was his implacable rival,
and was ready to spend millions to keep
Clark out of the Senate.
speaking about the value of the
mines at jerome, Senator Clark was
in New Y York with refer
ence to purchasing the Arizona claims.
His reply was $J0,000,00O, but it is
doubtful if be would sell the mines for
anywhere near that figure. .n-Cleveland

Hicks September Forecast.

In all probability general storm
disturbance. central the last two days
in August, will still prevail in the mid
die and eastern parts of the country
during the first day or two of Septem-
Der. The moon is full on August 29th,
is on the celestial equator on the 30th,
the central day of Vulcan storm
period, and In perigee on September
1st. About the time of the moons last
quarter or extreme north declination
on the 9Th, reactionary disturbances
will show themselves, when new storm
areas will appear, or general storms,
which may be advancing from the
equator. will become more pronounced.
AS we enter the regular storm period
central on the 10th, We may expect
very warm spell in most parts From
about Monday, the 9th. to Friday. the
18th, barometric readings will become
disturbed, and dangerously low de-
pressions will admonish of possible
violence. Storms Of this period are apt
to reach crisis on and touching the
10th, 18th and 18th. Tidal waves in
the gulf and around the coasts will be
abnormally high and fierce about the
18th and 18th.
The reactionarY storm period, CEN
tral about the 10th and l7th, will bring
changes to storm conditions
to warmer, falling barome
ter, growing cloudiness and precipita-
tion; but more general and energetic
are almost certain to re-
suit during the Vulcan storm period
central on the 22nd, coincident with
the center of earth's autumnal equi- |
nOx
Ordinarily about Saturday, the 21st,
to Tuesday, the 24th, would be the dan
ger days of this period; but we figure
that equatorial, or West India storms
will be more probable and violent from |
about the 26th to the Both. During |
these last days moon is on the equator |
Oh the 26th, full on the 28th, and in |
perigee on the 29th. Tidal waves will |
rise to maximum in many parts of |
the earth during this period, central |
on the 28th and Goth. If g touch of |
frost, snow and early winter visit re-
gions northward at the close of these |!
distur Dances, readers well up in our.
theory and forecasts will not be sur

"Don't Give up the Ship"

Some of the readers of Miss Abbors SER
ial 1.-THE Frigate's Nsmesake," 10 st.
Nicholas, may have seen in newspapers a
statement that Capt. Lawrence never used
the words so long connected with his last
battle. A Hartford newspaper, indeed,
printed story that the expression, Don't
give up the ship!" was invented by an edi-
tor who wrote an account of Lawrence's
death during the fight between the "Chesa-
peake" and the Shannon" 1t is unpleas-
ant to doubt that the brave Lawrence made
use of the heroic words, and our readers
will be glad to learn that the evidence 10 all
In favor of the truth of the story. In fact,
the surgeons mate of the chesapeake, in
giving sworn testimony about the battle,
said: ale ordered me to go to
the deck, and tell the men to fire faster, and
not to give up the ship"
While this is not exactly proof that Capt.
Lawrence used the words before he was
carried below decks, yet it shows that the
idea and heroic resolve were IN his mind,
and, in connection with the tradition, makes
1t seem probable that he did give the order
as has been believed.

The. Pekin Siege Described by an
Associate of Dr.. Ament.

Rev. Chas. E. Ewing, who was asso.

city, during the seige of Pekin. ad.
addressed fair sized audience in the
Congregational church Tuesday after
noon. Mr. Ewing's home is in New
Haven, Conn. He has been in this
country since the relief of Pekin when
he and his family came back here to
wait until the settlement of the diff
culties reached such stage that the
work could be resumed. For some
time past he has been engaged in the
work of telling the story of the seige
and of the behavior of the native
Chinese Christians to the various
churches which have been for years
supporting missionaries in that land.
The story as told by Mr.. Ewing is a
most interesting one and. it should be
added, most hopeful one.
After describing the events leading to
the taking refuge by the missionaries
and some thousand native Christians in
Pekin, Mr.. Ewing described the com.
pound itself, the ways in which all
present took part in defending it and in
loosi ing after the health and comfort of
those within, and also the continuous
bonn bardment of fifty five days Every
day they were under the fire of the sur.

the most patient and kindest of men, a man
who was always devoted to what he con-

of the orders to which he belonged, or to
his own family. In fact his devotion to
others had been such that ii materially
detracted from the strength which should
have been his to resist the disease which
attacked him. He possessed a character of
the sort which leads the vast majority of

at the guards. In fact the Boxers with
their millions appeared to be afraid OF
the few hundred people penned up by
them and even on the darkest nights
when they bombarded the compound
the hardest, it was afterwards discov'
cred that they were directing their aim
on the path by which they feared the
gallant little band might possibly be
making a sortie upon them. Mr.. Ew.
ing made the statement very emphatic

of the native Christians in the COM

legations as we'll could never have sur
vived. The behavior of these poor
people was surprise to every one
except perhaps the missionaries them
selves who had known what dependence
could be placed upon them. Rven
Minister Conger has made a statement
admitting as much.
Very many interesting incidents of
the seige were given. all of them being
personal "reminiscences and therefore
authentic.
The work is said by Mr.. Ewing to be
not only still in progress but he says
that this little nucleus of native
Christians will yet be the salvation of
the whole empire. The entire tone of
his address was optimistic so far as the
