Famous Loving Cups.

Some Of the old loving cups were
called grace cups. OF the specimens
now In possession Of the English guilds
and corporations the most famous Is
the Henry VIII. grace cup, which be-
longs to tho BARRIERS company Of Lon
don. With Its four globular bells hang
ing around the outer rim, says the
jewelers. Circular, this cup might well
excite the envy Of even the most hon
est collector Of silverware. The name
Of the cup Is derived from the fact
that King Hal was the donor, the
grace cup being intended to commem-
crate the union of the BARRIERS with the
guild Of surgeons. The cover carries
the Tudor rose, portcullis and fleur-de
lis, the final of the lid being mounted
with the imperial crown, the English
and French arms being beneath, sup
ported by the lion and greyhound.
The SINNERS company has pea
cock cup, though 1t Is In the form Of
peahen. This large silver bird, with
three chicks at her feet, stands ON the
silver badge, which was formerly worn
by the company's barge master. and
around 1t are the engraved words,
"The gift Mary, We daughter Of
Richard Robinson and wife to Thomas
Smith and James Peacock, SINNERS.
1872" The lady's two husbands were
both masters Of the company.

The point urged by Principal

parents who are patrons OF the

the matter and satisfy themselves
that it is absolutely necessary that
pupils enter at opening of the ses-

OF the course as outlined under the

The Way House and Stage Were
Lighted In oarriok's Time.
1t must have often struck people
when reading of the performances in
the eighteenth century how 1t was that
the lightning was contrlved. The pow
er Of oil lamps was limited enough.
Theaters like Drury Lane and Covent
Garden were of enormous size. There
were no footlights, at least until about
the middle of the eighteenth century,
and they were the humble floats" dim
enough. Yet there was ample light to
observe expression and play Of fea-
lures. so necessary In interpreting the
fine old comedies of character. Now
adays the stage Is one blaze. 1t Is lit
orally bathed and suffused In light.
There are no shadows, and yet 1t might
be said the amount Of necessary light
Is no more than there used to be and
is not nearly as satisfactory. How was

In the theaters of Garrlck and earlier
days the stage was really lit by four
great chandeliers, which hung directly
over the heads. of the actors from the
arch Of the proscenium and just out
side the curtain. When the play was
over, these were lowered slowly, sig
nal for the audience to depart. These
chandeliers furnished goodly amount
of light on circular zone Immediately
below them. The actors faces and fig
ures were lit in the natural way, as the
sun would light them, but the rest Of
the stage was comparatively dark or

was attired as United States sol

HE Pluribus Unum."

We are indebted to John Adams fol
our national motto, "E Pluribus
Unum." While he was minister to
England Sir John Prestwick suggested
1t to Mr.. Adams as good motto to in
dictate the union Of the colonies. 1t
was submitted to congress and adopted
by act of congress June, 1882. The
eagle In it's beak bears ribbon OH
which is the motto. In the early days
of its use the eagle bore also in its
talons a bundle of thirteen arrows, but
when, in 1841, new seal was made to
take the place Of the old one, which
had become worn, only six arrows
were placed In the talons Whether
this change was ordered by law or not
is not known. The old Latin motto
was in use in England as far back as
1870 on the Gentleman's Magazine.

FRANKLIN'S KITE.
The Philosophers Famous Experiment
as Described by Himself.

as Described ny f1lmself.
The famous kite experiment is de-
scribed by Franklin in letter dated
Oct. 10, 1852: make small cross Of
light sticks Of cedar, the arms SO long
as to reach to the four corners of a
large, thin silk handkerchief when ex-
tended. Tie the corners Of the hand
kerchief to the extremities of the cross,
so you have the body Of kite, which,
being properly. accommodated with a
tail, loop and string, will rise In the
air like those made Of paper, but be-
ing made of silk is better fitted to bear
the wet and wind Of thunder gust
without tearing. To De top of the up
right stick of the cross is to be fixed a
very sharp pointed wire rising foot
or more above the wood. To the end
Of the Irvine next the hand Is to be
tied a silk ribbon, and where the silk
and Irvine join key may be fastened.
This kite is to be raised when thun-
der gust appears to be coming on, and
the person who holds the string must
stand within q door or window or UNI
der some cover, so that the silk ribbon
may not be wet, and care must be TAX
en- that the Irvine does not touch the
frame Of the door or window. AS soon
as the thunderclouds come over the
kite the pointed wire will draw the
electric fire from them, and 1.-The kite,
with all the Irvine, Will be electrified
and stand out every way and be at
tracted by.an approaching finger. And
when the rain has wet the kite and
Irvine you will find~ the electric fire
stream out plentifully from the key on
the approach of your knuckle."

Another Highland Boy Honored

Mr. j H n Cobb, native high
lauder, is fast growing promlnen
in his far Western home, The fol
lowing clipping from a Tulsa COX
lahoma) paper explains itself:
in Cobb of this-city was unex
pectedly nominated for hotoria
delegate by the republican conven.
ton Wednesday last. He was not
seeking the office, but the people OF
the district knowing him to be a
strong man and thoroughly reli
able and competent, as was shown
by his work in the constitutional
convention.
. Rev. Cobb is not a politician in
the sense that he tries to make a
living of it. but is one Of the clean
ones, and will no doubt carry the
district by larger majority than
any other candidate. 1t should be
the desire of every person in Sapul-
pa, at least, to cast vote for this
gentleman, for the good he has
done for the city in which he re-
sides.
Again have the republicans risen
to the occasion and their opportun-
tiles with most commendable alac
r,tv and judgement. No better
man for Pictorial representative
for Creek and Tulsa counties could
have been named than j H N Cobb
His nomination is only another IN
stance in proof of the assertion
that the republicans demand more
of their candidates than mere par
tisanship-demand that they be
men of exemplary character. repu
tation and attainments; men who
command confidence by reason of
their real worth as men.
Mr. Cobb, as delegate to the con-
stitutional convention, demon.
strated his ability, his honesty and
his worth. He is widely known in
both counties and no man questions
his integrity and judgement. Ills
broad liberality as we'll as his rug
ged honesty makes him an ideal
representative for a district that
will demand clean and imperial SER
vice for it's varied interests.

LETTER TO c T FLEISHER.
Monterey, Va.

Dear Sir: Paint goes by gallons.
There are useful and useless gal
Ions. Useful paint is ~lead-zinc and
oil with dryer and color; useless
paint is whiting. china-clay ground
stone, barytes, benzine, or water.
This stuff is putin, because it is
cheap, to stuff-out the paint, to
make more gallons to sell; OF
course, the buyer doesn't suspect,
or he wouldn't buy it.
1t costs as much to brush on this
useless stuff as lead zinc.an oil;
but it looks like that and feels like
that in the brush; the painter does
mt suspect it. Besides, if the own
er is willing, why should the painter
object to painting two gallons for
one? lie is paid by the day; more
gallons, more DAYS, more money.
Average paint at full price is
about one.third this useless stuff:
and average paint at 81 % or I.5O
or $l.75 a gallon is two-thlrds
trash. Fool paint is the proper
name for all but pure paint; it is
made to fool people with. Knave
pant is another good name, it is
made, of course, by knaves. Sick
paint is a name for an honest weak
paint. They are all weak and all
extravagant; too many gallons to
buy and too many gallons to
brush on. Devoe is the stand.

In some way they had learned that the man in the high hat was President Lin coin, and the constantly increasing crowd, particularly the negroes became frantic with excitement.
 T confess that I was much alarmed at the situation and the exposure of the President to assault or even assassina- ton. 1 did not know of Admiral Porter's destination, or where the route pursued by him would lead us. He had supposed, as I did that General Weitzel had full possession of the city, and that, upon landing, communication would at once be mado with him and proper escort pro- vided. Nothing could have been easier than the destruction of the entire party. l cannot say what were the Presidents or the Admlral's reflections, but the sit uation was very alarming to me. l saw that they were pushed, hustled, and e- bowed along without any regard to their persons while l was packed closely, and simply drifted along in their general di reetion. This state of things lasted a half hour or more. The day was very warm. and as we progressed the street became thick with dust and smoke from the smoldering ruins about us. At last when the conditions had become almost un- endurable 6 cavalryman was found standing at a street corner, and word was sent by him to the nearest post that President Lincoln wished for assistance. He galloped off and in a few minutes a small squadron of mounted men made It's appearance. They quickly cleared the street, and joining MT. Lincoln and the admiral, we were escorted to General Weitzels headquarters"

Lincoln Walked Into Richmond.

The bodyguard of President Lincoln, Capt John S. Barnes, U. s. N, describes some of his experiences in the June num- Der of Appleton's. Among them he in- cludes Lncoln's entrance into Richmond just after its capture:
 'The boats from the fleet, still at work searching for torpedoes. had already found many, and had cut the wires of the cleo tr1c batteries and dragged to the banks many of the floating and submerged mines Still could not avoid a feeling of anxiety for the Malvern and the Queen. as they pushed ahead rapidly. lest some undiscovered mines should be touched and the vessels blown to pieces.
 "A number of vessels had pushed through the Instructions making quite display with flags flying from each mast, and finally the Malvern ran hard and fast aground several miles below the city. came up to her and close to the River Queen and anchored. Rich mond appeared to be in flames. dense masses of smoke resting over the city I found that the Admiral had taken Mir Lincoln in his barge, and was then pull ing under oars toward the city. Manning the gig, I pulled after them as fast as the men could row against strong cu1- rent. but MT Lincoln was well ahead Q q the barge finally made landing on the edge of the town, at a place called Rocketf's, some time before reached the spot; and when l got ashore Mir. Lincoln was. with the admiral and few sailors, armed with carbines, several hundred yards ahead of me, surrounded by q dense mass of men, women, and children, mostly negroes. Although Gen eral Weitzel had been in possession of Richmond since early morning or late the evening before, not sign of 1t was in evidence. not a soldier was to be seen and the street along the riverside in which we were, at first free from people became densely thronged, and every mo- ment became more and more packed with them. With enc of my officers. the surgeon. l pushed my way through the crowd endeavorIng to reach the side of the President whose tall form and high beaver hat lowered above the crowd. Tn vain I struggled to get nearer to him.

on in the drinking habits of the people Gan improvement probably due to other causes than the total-abstainence propa- ganda), but they are not carried away by a windy philanthropy, and cannot ignore the teachings of physiology and of prac- tical experience What they have seen they have seen of alcohofs restorative power in many critical conditions, and they would be deeply culpable if in def erence to clamor they laid aside so eff fectvie a weapon.
 It Is only physiological facts that the employment of alcohol in disease is now founded, and 1t is by physiological facts that it's employment is opposed, but in the latter case the facts are often mis- understood or only partially presented, Let me give an instance of this. Our total abstinence devotees tell us that alco- hol does not keep out the cold, and that there can be no worse way of protecting ourselves against Low temperatures ,lan by imbibing spirits. That is quite true, but ought to add, which they do not. that while alcohol does not keep out the cold it is a potent remedy for some of its most hazardous effects. When, after ex- posture to cold, there is stagnation of the blood that has been driven from the chilled surface to the internal organs, a malicious dose of alcohol will re-establish the equilibrium of the circulation and ward off dangers both immediate and re- mote
