THE FAITHFUL DOG.
George Graham Vests Tribute -
Mans Unselfish Friend.

The following tribute to mans
unselfsh friend was delivered by
George G. Vest before a Missouri
jury in a dog case:
@Gentlemen of the jury, the
best friend a man has in this world
may turn against him and become
his enemy. His son or daughter
that he has reared with loving care
may prove ungratcful. Those who
are nearest and dearest to us, those
whom we trust with our happiness
and our good name, may become
traitors to their faith. The money
that a man has be may lose. 1t
flies away from him perhaps when
he needs it most. A mans reputa-
ton may be sacrificed in a moment
of i'll considered action. The people
who are prone to fall. on their knees
to do US honor when success is with
us may be the first to throw the
stone of malice when failure settles
its cloud upon our heads. The one
absolute, unselfsh friend that man
can have in this selfish werld, the
one that never deserts him, the one
that never proves ungrateful or
treacherous. is his dog.
"Gentlemen Of the jury, a mans
dog stands by him in prosperity and
in poverty. in health and in sick
ness. He will sleep on the cold
ground, where the wintry winds
blow and the STOW drives fiercelyi
if only lie can be near hi: masters
side. He will kiss the land thai
has no food to oFer. he will lick the
wounds and sores that come in en-
counter with the rougAncss OF the
world. He Guards the sleep OF hit
paupcr master az if he were a
prince. When all other friends de-
sert he remains. When riches take
wings and reputation falls to pieces
he is as constant in his love as the
sun in its journey through the heay
ems. If fortune drives the master
forth an outcast in tire world
friendless and homeless, the faith
full dog a'ls no higher privilege
than that Of accompanying him t.
guard against danger, to iigh
against his enemies, and when tn.
last scene of all comes and dealt
takes the master in its embrace ant
his body il laid away in the coli
ground, no matter if all othe
friends pursue their way, there b
his gravcside will the noble dog b
found, his head between his paws
his ewes sad, but open in aler
watchfulness, faithful and true eve

A Blind Critic.

A WARNING.

Scotland was greatly disturbed and
mystiAed by the appearance in its
midst of an old English lady who
made use of an ear trumpet during
the sermon, such an instrument be-
Ing entirely unknown in those SIM

There was much discussion Of the
matter, and it was finally decided
that one of the elders-who had
great local reputation as 4 man OF
parts-should be deputed to settle
the question.
On the next Sabbath the uncon-
sciovs offender again made her APP
pearance and again produced the
trumpet, whereupon the chosen
elder rose from his seat and march

lady eat and, entreating her with an
appraised finger, said sternly:

A LOST ART.
Crude Way In Which the Old Timers
Moved a Giant Statue.

"Not long ago there was a lecture
delivered in st. Louis on the lost
arts before small, select gather
ing" says local scholar, Gin the
course Of which the lecturer strove
very hard to show how many arts
and sciences, totally unknown to us,
were possessed by the ancients.
II was particularly impressed by
one statement concerning the i'm
mense size Of some of the blocks Of
stone used in the temples Of Baal-
bee and the pyramids. of Egypt and
the enormous weight of the great
granite blocks from which we're
hewn the giant statues of the kings
and gods. Some of these blocks are
computed to weigh seventy-fve or
eighty tons, and the lecturer init
mated that the ancients must have
possessed engineering machinery
superior to our own to be able to
lift and transport stones of such
immense size and weight.
GAS a fact, the great cranes en-
ployed in our gunnery and armor
plate works would pick up such
blocks and carry them off as easily
and quickly as though they were OF
wood.
"There is no mystery at all about
the way in which these blocks were
moved. In several histories OF
Egypt there are reproduced picture;
found on the wall of an Egyptian
tomb which represents the moving
of one of the giant statues. Scores
of ropes are attached to it, and hun
dreds Of men stand ready waiting
for the signal to pull. The statue
is on a plank road and rests on roll
ers. Men with jars OF oil are greas
ing the rollers, taking them out be
hind and placing them in position
in front. The superintendent OF the
work stands on the pedestal with
trumpeter by his side. In the mex
picture he gives the signal, tn
trumpeter sounds, and eyerybod,

"This is one of the lost arts, ant
no one need regret that it is lost
We accomplish by ingenuity an
skill what the old timers did b.
brute force. 1t is not probable tina
anything of value has ever bee
lost, and, what is more to the puT
pose, we know a hundred, perhaps
thousand, useful things of which tn
ancients had no conception. "-St

SETTING the Verdict Alright.

Years ago an elderly and brusque
iurist from Sandusky used to hold
district court in Cleveland, and on
one of his visits beautiful young
woman was tried before him and a
jury on a charge of stealing $50
from a man. She was clearly proved
guilty, but the jury, impressed by
her youth and beauty, found a YER
diet Of not guilty.

judge, "pay the $S5 to the prOsecut

WORKING IN SLATE.
How the Material Is ouarried' Splr
Sawed and Finished.

Slate is used for many things be-
sides school states and roof cover
ings. Out of it are made sidewalks,
the walls Of dwellings, floors, stair
WAYS, door and window stills, chin
new tops, fenceposts, .bathtubs, MAI
gers, mantelpieces, blackboards and
many other things:
1t can be sawed and worked so
accurately that bathtubs and els
terms are made perfectly water
tight simply by joining the edges OF
the slate blocks.
Slate is got out Of the ground by
means of Blasting, holes being bored
into it with steam drills. With der
ricks and hosting chains the rough
slabs are lifted to che edges of the
quarry, and then they are rolled on
trucks to the shanty of the splitter.
The slate forms naturally in layers,
and the splitter, following the grain
or "ribbon" with large chisel, sep
arates the blocks into strips OF the
proper thickness for roofing slate.
Then the slate passes through a
cutting or trimming machine, where
by the blows Of a heavy knife the
irregular pieces are cut into rectan-
gular shingles" Boys often oper-
ate this trimming machine. After
ward the states are piled up III
squares, each pile containing
enough to cover 100 square feet OF
roof.
In the neighborhood of the Penn
sylyania quarries one will lind
houses whose walls are entirely OF
slate. The blocks of which they are
made are smoothly sawed, and the
walls are exceedingly substantial.
A PENNSYLVANIA factory where
various articles are manufactured
from slate contains three horizon
tai saws twelve feet in length, each
of which is furnished with seventy
five cutting diamonds. Probably
( these are the most expensive saws
in the world, for each one costs S.,
800. There are also in the factory
diamond jigsaws, a circular saw
four nlaners and other slate work
ing machinery.
The huge horizontal saw tina
works on one of the blocks Of slat'
is lowered by a ratchet at the rat
of a quarter of an inch minute
The saw would cut iron or steel a
the same rate. Water is played OF
the saw to keep it cool and wash tn
slate dust from the cut.
After the saving the block i
planned by being moved back ant
forth by machinery under a firml,
fixed chisel. Then it is polished
much as marble and granite are, b
means of rapidly revolving dis
of cast iron, called a rubbing bed
which is kept covered with a sprin
king of fine sand continually sat
urated with water. The slate
bored by means of diamond pointe
drills.
