nit. At that time the revolution was
in progress. but it is regarded at the
legation h the government has OBJ
aimed full control of the situation, and
this further encourages the belief that

ALPHABET ON A pINHEAD.
Wonderful Engraving Feat Of (
Tradesman In Balti-
more.

II. A. Houseal, an engraver, has ac-
complished task in the engraver's art
which eclipses the engraving of the
Lords Prayer upon a silver dollar,
which was supposed for long time to
be the triumph of fine work In engrav-
ing, says the Baltimore American. He
has managed to engrave the alphabet
complete on the head of a common pin.
Mr.. Houseal, who rarely uses glass in
his work, can read the letters with the
naked eye, and although there are few
persons whose eyesight is so strong,
common magnifying glass serves to
make them easily distinguishable.
The letters range from left to right,
and are all capitals.
In the first circle around the edge of
the head of the pin are the letters from
A to NJ, inclusive. Within this is the
second circle beginning at N and end
ing at Y, and directly in the center is
the & mark. The diameter of the
pinhead is barely sixteenth of an
inch aud it can be understood how
small the letters must be. They are
about one-fourth the size of the letters
in the Lords Prayer engraved on dol
lar. The work occupied about an hour
and half, and was done during N aft
ernoon about month ago, Mr.
Houseal occa sionally leaving it to at
tend to customers in the store. 1t
was done with an ordinary engravers'
tool

Jubilee singers next Wednesday
evening at the Town Hall.
They are coming. Who? The

will be at the Town Hall Wednesday
evening, May 28th. This will be an

as it is seldom so many colored

They promise to give a very

The company has a national reputa-

A Summer NoyeItx.

The crystallized mint leaf is the lat
est novelty in summer CONNECTIONS.
The lover of mint, whe Their in the form
Of candy or julep, will find them deli
ciously refreshing. The sprays Of
fresh leaves are treated apparently
much in the same way as candied
fruits are produced, only the mint re-
tains all its original flavor. Crystal
lized mint leaves are rather expensive,
selling at IS cents an ounce, but they
are said to be well worth the price.
Asphalt a Scientific Mystery.
A writer in the Chicago Record-Her-
aid says that asphaltum is the puzzle
of scientists and the joy and pride of
roadmakers. Biologists and chemists
have placed the mysterious material in
the coal and petroleum family, yet
they do not agree on its origin. Some
of them claim volcanic parentage for
the curious stuff; others trace its fam
lily back to the vegetable tribe. But
all are of one mind in that it is one
of the most useful and disable products
of the earth's crust.

NIGHT EATING MAKES FAT.
Physicians Are Now Advising he'd
time Luncheons for Emaci-
ated People.

1t was formerly thought that food
taken at bedtime created indigestion
and bad dreams. While undoubtedly
rich and hearty food is Inappropriate
at the time chosen for repose, a light,
nourishing repast at night often con-
duces to sound sleep by drawing the
blood away from the brain.
Physicians are now advising a bed
time lunch for weak, nervous and
emaciated people. The long hours of
sleep consume about one-third Of our
existence. Although the demand
made upon the system is naturally
much less than during the waking
hours, there is wasting away of it's
sues consequent upon the suspension
of nutriment for many hours. The
body feeds upon itself, for food taken
at dinner is digested at bedtime.

RumOrS Of Consolidation With
Adventure.
There is talk OF consolidation of
the Mass and Adventure copper
mining properties. In discussing
the situation the New York En-
cheering and Mining Journal says:
''There is the best reason for saying
that negotiations are going on to
this end, and that the final an
nouncemsnt may be expected late
this month. It is hoped to put
them in alike, although there are a
few dollars difference in the selling
price. There has been paid in on
Adventure $11.50 against $3.50 on
Mass, but the claim is made that
the latter company has spent fully
81 per share in development, which
was taken from earnings. 1t has
been suggested that q consolidation
OF these two mines with the Michi.
gan and Victoria would be con.
sidered favorably by large holders. ,
