Clerical Clothes In New York.

To-day l encountered a within of
New York tailors that astonished me-"
said western clergyman Il ordered
a suit of clothes from a man who re-
fused TO work for me.
whats the reason you folks are
passing me along TO another tailor 20
l asked. DO look hard to fit? Are
you afraid you won't get your money?
The tailor explained that neither OF
my guesses was correct. lie declined
to make my clothes simply because
am a clergyman and require clerical
cut He let me down easily by stat
ing further that he never undertook
to make ecclesiastical garments, that
very few of the lay tailors in New
York do undertake them. They do
not have enough Of that kind Of work
to keep them constantly informed on
the requirements OF the different re-
ligious orders 4 mistake would be
embarrassing to the clergymen and TO
the tailor. so they hand all such Gus
toners over to tailors who make a
speciality OF such work"-New York

Centerville, Ind. Aug. 15.-Great
crowds from all parts of the county
thronged Centerville today. The oc-
casion was the annual Old Settlers
picnic in Kings grove, north of town.
Early this morning a string of vehicles
began arriving on all roads and all
bound for the same place. The pro-
cession did not cease during the day
and many parties came this afternoon.
The interurbAn cars provided transport
tation for hundreds of persons. all
bent in the same direction.
1t was estimated the throng in the
grove was the largest it has been for
many years. Platforms and seats had
been erected. A band concert helped
while away the morning hours. This
afternoon the roll call of deceased old
settlers showed 1877 have died within
the past year. This number is unus-
ually large. The program of this aft

PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY
CLEANING A CLOCK.
Il 10 Not Very Difficult, According 10
These Directions.

1t is very simple 10 clean a clock.
which may sound rather absurd. For
an amateur ii is not always necessary
to take the clock to pieces. With a
little care and patience and using some
benzine, a clean white rag. a sable
brush and some oil a clock can be
cleaned and put In first class running
order. The benzine should be clean
and free from oil. You can test ben
zine by putting a little on the back OF
the hand II it is good. it will dry off,
leaving the hand quite clean, but II
any grease remains on the hand II Is
not fit TO use.
The oil should be OF the very best
that can be procured. Vegetable oils
should never be used. Clock oil can be
procured from your druggist or jeweler.
All loose dirt should be removed from
the works by blowing with bellows or
a fan or busting with a dry brush. In
the latter case great care should be ex-
ercised not to injure any of the parts.
Dip the brush in the benzine and clean
the spindles and spindle holes and the
teeth Of the escapement wheel. After
washing part wipe the brush on the
rag and rinse in the benzine. This
should be repeated frequently until no
more dirt is seen.
When the clock has dried oil the spin
die holes carefully. This may be done
with a toothpick or a silver of wood
cut to fine point. Oil the tooth of the
escapement wheel slightly, using a fine
brush.-Popular Mechanics.

LOWESTOFT CHINA.
Story Of Factory Whose Products
Are Now Highly Priced.

Story Of . Factory Whose Products
Are Now Highly Priced.
At the end of the North parade,
Lowestoft, is the Warren House, a
place of great interest to connoisseurs
Of china. 1t was here, in the eight
zenith century, that a discovery of
fine clay was made which eventually
led to Lowestoft manufacturing the
china which Is now so rare that It Is
almost priceless.
Initial experiments made by Hewlin
Luson, Esq, of Gunton Park, near
Lowestoft, with some fine clay discov-
cred accidentally on his estate result
ed in complete success and ultimately
led to the opening Of a factory at
Lowestoft in 1855 for the manufacture
of fine earthenware and porcelain soft
paste"
In ITS finely glazed and decorated
hard paste" was introduced, the eff
fciency and beauty Of which beto-
kened a brilliant success for the pro-
prietors. Contemporary evidence in
disputably shows that from ITO to
1900 the Lowestoft works were at the
zenith of their fame. Owing. however,
to the enormous expenses and dlfficui-
ty incurred In procuring china clay
from Cornwall and elsewhere (after
the original clay was exhausted and
the rapidly increasing competition of
other makers its prosperity waned. the
collapse came, and the works were
closed in 1So3.-London Globe.

GRATING.

n Lesson In Horticulture With One
Serious Omission.
My neighbor Brown came to the gar.
den fence and said:
How do you do your grafting?'
my grafting?" said l.
"Yes-grafting apple trees. l wan
to try it myself
oh l exclaimed. Eyes, yes! Well
in the first place, l begin by lying
that Is. lie in bed to think the whole
thing out in every detail. l watch my
opportunity. and on the first fine day
steal a few hours from my business
Then borrow saw-a steel one
and with it l rob the tree upon which
l want to graft of some of its larger
branches. This l try to do in such 8
way that the loss Of the branches will
not be noticed. These limbs should
not be left lying-that is, lying on the
ground. They are unsightly and may
attract the attention of passersby,
They should be hustled behind the lat
ticework screen at once. So far sc
good. Now, let me see-oh, yes. ]
rob another tree Of few twigs hav.
ing buds on them and insert them In
the ends Of the sawed branches on the
tree. Then l take some beeswax and
tallow and melt them together. This
must be thoroughly mixed. Work il
for all you're worth to make it p!iable
Finally with this l try to hide all ap-
pearance of the graft, from sunlight
and air, and there you are-the job is
DONE
Il see" said Brown, land l think
I'm foxy enough TO do the trick the
first time trying. Many thanks"
Shortly after l heard Brown telling
his wife how l explained the process.
This is the way he had it:
First" he says, you must be a
good liar; then you watch your chance
and steal half day from the com
pany's time; then you steal a saw:
then you defraud the tree of some
branches. which you must hide, so no
body Will get on; then you rob some,
body's tree Of twigs, put them in the
ends OF the branches and cover your
tracks with beeswax and tallow."
Said Browns wife: II don't think
that man can be trusted. He has two
kinds Of grating mixed. and. besides
he didn't tell you where to steal the
apple trees."-Judge.

THE HUMAN ENGINE.
To Operate This Masterpiece Air 10
the First Necessity.


OF all the engines cunningly devised
by man not one can equal that master
piece of construction. the engine OF the
human frame. To run that engine air
is the first necessity. Construct 1t how
you will. the greater part of the
energy which feeds a power plant Is
lost before 1t reaches the applying
machine. The body only has the power
OF using energy really economically
and efficiently. Its food Is its fuel.
To be available all the constituents of
that food must be burned. producing
heat and power. For that burning the
oxygen OF the air Is essential Equally
true Is IL that nitrogen must be pres
ent to prevent the rapid combustion
which would take place in oxygen
alone. But. whether the combustion
be fast or slow. the action Is the same.
The body burns the carbon and n.y.
drogen Of its food and gives out the
oxides OF these substances. carbon
dioxide carbon acid gas) and hydrogen
oxide (water). The water that Ii
formed within the body by the burn
ing of hydrogen is of comparatively
slight Importance In a consideration of
the vital questions of the effect of city
air upon the individual. but the other
factor, the carbon dioxide formed In
the body. Is of direct Importance

veloped against Walter Ratliff, repub-
lican nominee for reelection as state
representative The leaders of the
party do not have much hope of Sc
curing any other Office.

FOOD FOR cANNIBALs.
One Of the Many Tragedies Enacted In
Polynesia.


Polynesia.
It Is not so very long ago that can
nfbalism was rife throughout Poly
nesia. so that to be killed. cooked and
eaten was the almost invariable fate
of sailors who CHANGED to be so unfor-
tunate as to be cast away on any OF
the outlying little visited islands.
Perhaps the most awful tragedy OF
the kind on record was that which
happened in connection with the loss
of the St Paul, Captain Pennard. while
on a voyage from Hongkong to sgd
ney. This fine steamship carried. be-
sides full crew. 327 passengers, most
ly emigrants.
On Sept. 80. 1858 she was wrecked
on the island Of Rossel. but all got
safely on shore. A little later the cap
tain and eight of the crew left the
island in search of assistance and were
picked up by the Prince of Dem

steamer Styx was dispatched to the
island and brought away one emf

The Hair.

A single hair, which can support
weight of two punches. is so elastic
that it may be stretched to one-third of
its entire length and then regain its for
mer size and condition. DIR. Pincus
has measured the growth Of hair by
cutting off circles about one inch in
diameter from the heads of healthy
men and so comparing the growth Of
the patches with that of the rest of the
hair. He found that the growth rate
generally became slower after cutting;
that in some cases the hair on the
patches grew at the same rate as the
rest but that it never grew any faster.
The ordinary length of the hair on
the head ranges between twenty-five
inches and about forty-five inches, the
latter being considered unusually long.

The Natives Often Make Dreadful
Mistakes With European Attire.
The "ol clo' man" is a familiar figure
in American streets and one by no
means without picturesqueness, but no
American dealer in old clothes has es-
tablished a business of such extent of
interest as that Of John Lyman Of Lon
don, whose speciality Is to purchase
snowy costumes and discarded military
and official uniforms for disposal in the
orient and Africa.
Even the retiring lord mayors Of Lon
don have become almost by official ira

They were known as Big Denis and
Little Denis. and each owned for cere-
monial occasions a military uniform.
That of Big Denis was a French gen.
erals, which his wives managed to get
him into. That of Little Denis was q
hussar's. and its intricate cut, numer-
Gus buttons, straps and buckles and
painfully small size proved quite too
much for him. He sent the prince a
despairing message begging help, and
a relief party Of delighted midshipmen
was sent to dress him and bring him
aboard
They fulfilled their errand; but, with
