very much by the merriment people make
over tboae tdaju by strong 0.-.ak. lud to
be very merry over theee Xhmgn. having a
keen aeoae ot the ludicrous. There wa* some
thing very grotesque in the gait of a drunk
ard It i not eo now. for I saw in one of the
rtreeu of Philadelphia a sight tha? changed
the whole subject to me There was a young
man being led home He vr; very much in
tosacated— l‘ Vi- raving with intoxj'-a-
UotL Two young men wer< leading

street, men laughed women sneered:
but I happened to be very near the door
where he went in—it was the dor of his

beard him shouting, hooting &n<l biaspheru-
He l.*'t lost his bat. aii‘l tbe merri
ment increased with tb- mob until he came
to the door, and as the door wai opened bu
mother came out. When I heard her cry
that took all the comedy out of the scene.
Since that time when I see a man walking
through the street, reeling, tha comedy is all
gone, and it is a tragedy of tear* and groans
and heartbreaks Never make any fun
around me about the grotesqueness of a
drunkard Alas for his h-cne
The flr.t suffering of the drunkard is in
the loss of hi good name. God has o ar
ranged it that no man ever loses bis good
ram* except through liis own art. Adi the
hatred of men and ail the osasuits of devils
cannot destroy a man's good name if be
really maintains his integrity. If a mun is
mdustnou- and pure and Christian, God
looks after him. Although he may be bom
herded for twenty or thirty years, his integ
rity is never lost and his good name is never
sacrificed No force on earth or in hell
can capture such a Gibraltar. But when it
is said of a man. “He drinks.'’ and it can
be proved, then what employer wants
him for workman' what store wants him
for a clerk* what church want* him fora
mamba” who will trust him? what dying
man would appoint him ins executor? He
may have been forty year, in buflding up
his reputation r goes down. Letters of
reagpom,! . ion. the backing up of buf:ness
firms • trijiiai.t ancestry cannot eave him.
Tha world shies off. Why? it is whispered
allthrough the-.immunity, “He drinks: he
drinks That blasts him Whena man loses
hisreputat a for sobriety he might as well be
at the bottom ot the sea. There are men
here who have their good name as their only
capital You are now achieving your own
livelihood under God, by your own right
arm Now look out that t we is no doubt

for your gi>-S name is your only capital and
when that is bias ted with the reputation of
taking strong drink, ail is gone
Another low which the inehriate suffers is
that of self respect Just soon a* a man
wakes up and find that k* is the captive of
strong dink he feels demeaned. I do not
care how reckless he acts. He may say, "I
don’t care:” he does care. He cannot look a
pure man in the eye, unless it is with positive
forceofresoiution.Three-fourths of his nature
is destroyed; his self respect gone; ho says
things ha sosld nsi otherwise say; bo doc*
things h would not otherwise do.’ When a
man is nine-tenths gone with strong drink,
t ha first thing he wants to do is to persuade you
that he enu atop any time be w ants to. Be
cannot. The Philistines have bound him hand
and foot, and shorn his locks, and put out his
eyea and are making him grind in the mill of
a great horror He cannot stop. I will prove
it. He knows that his course is bringing dis
grace and ruin npon himself. He loves him
self If he could stop he would. He knows
his course is bringing ruin upon his family.
Ha loves them He would stop if he could.
He cannot. Perhaps he could three mouths
or a year ago; not now. Just ask him to
stop for a month. He cannot; he knows he
cannot, so he does no* try. I had a friend
who for fifteen years v sing down under
this evil habit. He him largo means. He had
given thousands of dollars to Bible societies
and reformatory in itutions of all sorts.
He was very genial and vary gener
ous and very lovable, a id whenever he talked
about this evil habit he would say: “I can
stop any time.’' But kept goiug ou, goto*
on. down, down, down. His family would
aay: 'T wish you would stop.” *‘\V by,” he
would reply, ‘‘l can stop any time if ! want
to.” After a while he had delirium tromeus;
be had it twice: and yet after that he said:
“I could stop at air. time if I wanted to.”
He is dead now. What killed him? Hum!
Hum! And yet among his last utterances
was: “I can stop at any time.” He did not
stop it, because he could not stop it, Oh,
there is a point in inebriation beyond which,
if a man goes, he cannot stop!
One of these vi< :ms said to a Christian
man: “Sir, if I were told that I couldn’t
get a drink until tomorrow night un
less I had all my r igors cut olf, 1 would
say: ‘Bring the L Uchet and cut them
off now.’” I have a dear friend in Phila
delphia, whose nephi v came to him oue day,
and when he was < charted about his evil
habit, said: “Uucl I can't give it up.
If there stood a caimoO, and it was loaded,
and a glass of wino .at on the mouth of
that cannon, and I knew that you would
fire it off just as I came up and took
the glass, I would stif t, for I must have
it.” Ob, it j* a sad thing for a man to
wake up in this lifn and feel that he
is a captive. He sayst ''l could have got rid
of this onco, put I can't now. I might have
lived an hoaorable life and died a
Christian death; but there is no horns for me
uow; there is no escape for me. Dead, but
not buried. lam a walking corpse. lam
an apparation of what I onco was. lam a
caged immortal, beating against the wires of
my cage in this direction and in that direc
tion: beating against the cage until there is
blood on the wires and blood upon my soul,
yet not able to get out. Destroyed, without
remedy P
I go further and say that the inebriate
suffers from the loss of his usefulness. Do
you not recognize tho fact that many of those
who are now captives of strong drink only a
little while ago were foremost in the churches
and in reformatory institutions? Do you
not know that sometimes they knelt in tile
family circle'- Do you not know that they
prayed in public, and some of them carried
around the holy wine on sacramental days?
Oh, yes, they stood in the very front rank,
but they gradually fell away. And
know what do you suppose is the feeling
■of such a man as that when
rhe tilings of his dishonored vows and tho
dishonored sacrament—when he thinks of
what he might have been and of what he is
now? Ho such men laugh and seem very
merry ? Ah, there is, down in the depths of
their soul, a very heavy Do not

But my subject takes a deeper tone,
and that is. that the inebriate suffers
from the loss of the notil. The Bible
intimates that in the future world, if
wc are unforgiven here, our bad psaona
and appetites, unrestrained, will go along
with us and make our torment there So
that I suppose w hen an inebriate wakes up
iu this loU world he will feel an in-
Tlnit* thirst clawing on him. Now. down
in the world, although he may have been
very poor, be could beg or he could steel
five f-ents with; which to get that which
would slake his thirst for a little while: but
in eternity, where is the rum to come from*
Dives could not get one drop of water. From
what chalice of eternal fires will the hot lips
of the drunkard drain his draught? No ono
to brew it No one to mix it. No one to pour
it No one *o fetch it Millions of worlds
then for the dregs which the young man
just D'.w slung on the saw-dustei
floor of the rcsitaurant. Millions
of worlds now for the rind
thrown out from the punch bowl of
an earthly banquet. Dives cried for water.
The inebriate cries for rum. Oh, the deep,
exhausting. exa>r*erating. everlasting thirst
of the drunkard in hell! Why, if a fiend
came up to earth for some infernal work in a
grogshop, and should go back taking oa its
wing just one drop of that for which the
inebriate in the lost world longs, what ex
citement it would make there. Put that one
drop irom off the fiend s wing on the tip of
the tongue of the destroyed inebrmto; let
the liquid brightness ‘ just touch it,
let the drop be very small if
it only Lave in it the smack of alcoholic
drink, let that drop just touch the lost ine
briate in the lost world, and he would spring
to his feet and cry: "That is rum! aha * that
is rum f* and it would wake up the echoes of
the damned: “Give me rum ! Give me ruin
Give me rum r: In the future world, I do
not belk*ve that it will be the absence of God
that will make the drunkard's sorrow; Ido
not believe that it will be the absence of
light: I do not believe that it wiil be the ab
sence of hcliness: I think it will be the ab
sence of strong drink. Oh! ‘‘look not upon
the wine when it is red, when it moveth it
self aright in the cup. for at the last, itbiteth
like a serpent and it stingeth like an adder.”
But I want in conclusion to say one thing
personal, for Ido not like a sermon that has
no personalities in it. Perhaps this has uot
had that fault already. I want to say to
those who are the victims of strong drink,
that w hile I declare that there was a point
beyond which a man could not stop, I want
to tell you that while a man cannot stop in
his own strength, the Lord Ghjd,
by Hi3 grace, can help him to
stop at any time. Years ago I was In
a room in New York where there were
many men who had been reclaimed from
drunkenness. I heard their testimony, and
for the first time in my life there flashed out
a truth I never understood. They said: “We
were victims of strong drink. We tried to
give it up, but always failed; but somehow,
•since we gave our hearts to Christ, He has
taken care of us.” I believe that the time
will soon come when the grace of God will
show its power here not only to save man's
soul, but his body, and reconstruct, purify,
, elevate and redoem it. I verily believe that,
I although you feel grapjiUng at the
roots of your tongues an ulniost omnipotent
i thirst, if yon will this moment give your
heart to God He will help you, by Ilia grace,
to conquer. Try it. It is your last chance
I have looked oft upon the desolation. Sit
ting under my ministry there are people in
awful peril from strong drink, and, judging
from ordinary circumstances, there is not
one chance in five thousand that they will
| get clear of it. I see men in this oongre
-1 gation of whom I must mako the remark,
that if they do not change their coun*e,
v.ithin ten years they will, as to their bodies,
lie down in drunkards’ graves; and as to their
souls, lie down in a drunkard’s pardition. I
know that it is an awful thing to say, but I
can't help saying it. Oh, beware! You have
not yet been captured. Beware! As ye
open the door of your wine closet to-day,
may that decanter flash out upon you
Beware! and when you pour the beverage
into tho glass, in the foam at the top, in
white letters, let them be spelled out to your
soul: ‘•Beware!'’ When the books of judg
nient are open, and ten million drunkards
come up to get their doom, I want you to
bear witness that I, to-day, in the fear of
God, and in the love for your soul, told you
with all affection, and with all kindness, to
beware of that which has already exerted its
influence upon your family, blowing out
some of its lights—a premonition of the
blackness of darkness forever. Oh,
if you could only hear this
moment, Intemperance, with drunk
ard's bones, drumming on the head of the
wine cask the Dead March of immortal souls,
methinks the very glance of a wine cup
would make you shudder, and the color of
the liquor would make you think of the
blood of the soul, and the foam on the top of
the cup would remind you of the froth on
the maniac’s lip, and you would go home
from this service and kneel down
and pray God that, rather than
your children should become captives
of this evil lmbit, vou would like to carry
them out some bright spring day to the ceme
tery and put them away to the last sleep,
until at the call of the south wind the flowers
would come up all over the grave—sweet
prophecies of tho resurrection. God has a
balm for such a wound but what flower of
comfort ever grew on the blasted heath of a
drunkard's sepulcher?

Making ihe Marble KounlalD—lu*
Inlrrtor fun**rurtion a Martel

Water U Made.
Tlie firtt itep toward building the toda
water fountain i* to cut a block of 6u
eolored marble—lit feet cube, let u* say
—into iaba, and the manner in which
this o]ieration i* performed would exci-e
your adooithment. say* a Boaton Utter to
the New OrU-ana I‘ieayuru. The block i
placed on aolid wooden “akida.” while a
w injuring frame of parallel aawa, 15 feet
each in length, descend* upon the marble
mass from above. The frame bolding the
taw* traverses back and forth, under the
action of powerful machinery, dividing
the great stone by (low degree* into
slices, the thickness of which is regulated
by the space between the saw*. Thus a
rough 10-foot cube is soon transformed
into, say. forty amooth *laha of 3-inche*
thickneu. But the cutting, strange to
say, is not really done by the sawa, but
by aand. which, mixed with water, con
tinually flow* from overhead upon tha
marble block. The saws, which are of
steel and toothless, grind the sand into
the stone along the line* of cleavage, and
in this manner the slicing is accom
plished, two weeks being required to
transform into slabs such a block a*
that described. The slab thus pro
duced ia roughed out according
to a design by the “coper,”
after which the cutter prepare* it
for polishing hv smoothing off the edges,
etc. Next, after being chafed down by
steel wheels with wet sand, it is polished
laboriously by hand with whetstones.
The final shine is put on with felt, each
kind of marble requiring some particular
kind of assistant in the performance of
this last process, such as jewelers’ rouge,
polishers' putty, or oxalic acid. Circular
holes are cut in the slab, if desired, with
revolving steel saws.though little ones are
made with a small tubular drill, the pierc
ing end of which is set around with a
circle of good sized diamonds. These stones
are not of the precious variety, however,
being black and not useful for orna
mental purposes. But they cut just the
same. Beveled and rounded edge* are
put on by revolving steel instruments
that do the work automatically, and thus
the piece-of marble is turned out in
fini-hed shape to be bolted and cemented
with others into the soda-water fountain
of which it is intended to form a part.
The marble dust produced incidentally
to the processes described, by the way, {
mostly sold as an ingredient for asphaltum
pavement mixture and to adulterate
putty.
The making of the fountain's inside
works is not less laborious than the pre
paration and construction of the marble '
exterior. In the fountain, as represented j
by its ultimate development to-day, the
most important feature is the cooling ap
paratus which occupies the place of a
sort of stomach for the concern. This
stomach is in the shape of a big tank,
taking up nearly all of the room inside
above the line of spigots, and kept filled
with ice. In the bottom ol the tank is
an intestinal arrangement of coiled metal
tubes, cylinders things resembling
blacking-boxes. Taken together they
represent the utmost accomplishment of
mechanical science thus far in the line
of refrigeration. They require very lit
tle space, and yet the work they do is
surprising. The tubes, the cylinders and
the blacking-box cells, as they are called,
are all connected together in such a way
that the stream of soda water coming from
the storage receptacle beneath flows
hundreds of feet through an ice
surrounded channel before passing out
at the draft-tube into the tumbler,
where it consequently arrives at about
freezing point. The storage re
ceptacle referred to is introduced under
the fountain and attached for purposes of
supply until its contents are exhausted
and another one takes its place. The
tubes are made of solid block tin, and the
cylinders and cells are lined with
material also, as well as the spigots. This
metal is uniformly employed to cover
every surface with which the soda water
comes into contact, for the reason that it
communicates no poison to the drink.
Pure tin is used even for soldering the
cylinders and blacking-box cells, which
are tested to stand a strain of 160 pounds
to the square inch, or about twice what
sn engine boiler is expected to endure.
For the storage receptacles are charged
with gas at an enormous pressure so as to
get as much carbonic-dioxide into the
water as possible. And, beside ail this,
the man who draws the stuff must know
just how to do it, or it will be flat and
unsatisfactory. It is partly on this ac
count that the soda water at one shop is
so much better than at another. If the
fountain is not a good one, Or the mer
chant sparing of his ice, the reason for
the poor quality of the product is not far
to seek. The soda water itself is always
first-rate, as it comes originally from the
manufacturers, who supply all retailers
save only a few who do business in spots
not readily or cheaply accessible by rail or
otherwise.
The manufacture of soda water in such
vast quantities is quite an interesting
business. Perhaps, in the first place, it
would be as well to explain that the bev
erage is simply ordinary water charged
with carbonic acid gas, the former tak
ing up under pressure somewhat more
than its own volume of the latter. The
gas is obtained from marble dust, which
is ground up and shipped for this purpose
by the thousands of barrels at Sing Sing,
N. Y., and other points where white
marble of a cheap, crumbly sort, not use
ful for building, is found. Now, when
the earth we live upon was in a fiery and
molten state, the rocks which composed
it fused and liquified by plutonic heat,
strange chemical transformations were
produced by nature -with the materials
she had on hand, which even at this en
lightened day are not very well under
stood. One of these changes, however,
resulted in the formation of marble by a
combination of carbonic acid with lime.
And so when, millions of years later, it
is desired to procure carbonic acid gas,
it is found that the cheapest way to ob
tain it is by separating it from the lime in
the ma-Ule. This is easily done by using
sulphuric acid to part the two.
Accordingly the soda water manufac
turer places in a big brass receptacle, of
mighty strength and tin lined, two barrels
of marble dust and Sixty gallons of water.
This mixture is kept stirred all the time
by machinery, while from a vessel above
drips stowly sulphuric acid into the mar
ble dust solution, producing so violent a
chemical combustion that the outside of
the big receptacle alluded to soon be
comes uncomfortably hot to the touch. At
the same time the reluctant lime is giving
up the gas it holds in volumes, which
pass out by an escape pipe and through
water, to cleanse the volatile fluid, pro
ceeding thence to a tube, which fastens
on to the mouth of the teu gallon tank
that is to be charged. The tank is pre
viously filled two-thirds full of water, and
while the charging is going on rests in a
sort of swinging cradle, which keeps it
shaken violently, so that as much as pos
sible of the gas is taken up. The pressure
with which the gas-—composed of two parts
of oxygen and one of carbon-^-coiiios
through the pipe from the bubbling gen
erat.r is tremendous, and the tank* have
to be made of beerily-booped steel, to
.keep them from bunting when loaded.
A* (sat aa one tank i charged to the ut
most | -amt another ia attached to the sup
ply tube, placed on the shaking-cradle,
tilled and corked up ready for shipment.
Id this simple manner is soda water
There ia one such factory here—
the biggest in New England—which was
in the business 100 yean ago. In thuee
times soda water was sold in wooden
casks, and it was not lo good a* you can
buy nowadays, for the reason that the
lis rrels would not stand a very high pres
sure. The occupation is regarded as a
dangerous one at present,for occasionally
a generator will explode and blow a
whole building into everlasting smither
eens. Nearly all the mineral waten sold
are made by combining sod* water with
solutions prepared by chemical formula.
A Novel Wedding.
Avery unique marriage was celebrated
in Squire Hauser s office the other after
noon, the ’Squire officiating. The bride
was Hies Jessie Troegrr, who obtained
some celebrity two years ago by leading
a strike of waitresses in Rockwell's res
taurant. She ia twenty years old. The
groom was Charles K Adams, better
known in the dime-museum world as the
Armless Wonder. He was born without
those useful members of the body, and,
in lieu of a better and more profitable
means of livelihood, hired himself out to
dime museums. Adams is now about
thirty years of age, and, barring the lack
: of arms, is a fine specimen of physical
beauty.
The absence of arms is little felt by the
Wonder, however.for he has become very
expert with his toes and mouth. He can
thread a needle or write a neat letter
with the former, while with the latter he
paint* dainty little picture*, decorate*
china ware, etc., holding the brush be
tween his teeth.
When the couple entered the Squire s
office yesterday and said they wanted to
be united in wedlock that official was
perplexed for awhile.
“How can you join hqndsl” he asked
bluntly, pointing to Adams.
“Oh, that is easy enough,” said the
pretty bride, who *tood fully three heads
shorter than the groom. And she
reached up and grasped the stump of his
undeveloped left arm with her right
hand.
“See,” she said, as she stood smiling
ly on her tip toes.
“But the ring. How can he put the
marriage ring on your finger?”
“In this way,” said Adams, and the as
tonished officials in the Squire s court
were thunderstruck to see the circlet of
gold between the armies* man's teeth.
Bending his head he deftly slipped jf
over the girl s finger.
Satisfied that the couple understood
their business, the ’Squire went ahead
and performed the ceremony.
After being made man and
Adams sat down, and, slipping the she*
off his right foot, disclosing a stocking
with the front of the foot cut off, he
reached into his vest pocket with his toes
and brought out a roll of bills. Select
ing a -*5 note, he tendered it as a fee,
and, putting on his shoe, went away, his
little wife sticking close to him.—Cin

Servians and Their Pigs.
Servian men and women alike wear
huge sandals with a wilderness of straps
about the leg up to the knee, and the
women display multi-colored aprons
worked by themselves, short skirts, and
short, thick-quilted jackets, with a gaudy
kerchief over their hair. The aprons
aforesaid are among the few pretty ob
jects a traveler can take away with him
from Servia as specimens of native indus
try. They are worked in a sort of Turk
ish style, and, though rough in material
and crude in color, are effective as chair
or small table covers. The best product
of the country is the Pirot carpet, worth
about a ducat or twelve shillings a square
meter. The designs are extremely pretty,
and the rugs, without being so heavy as
Persian, or so ragged and scant in the
web and woof as C’aramanian, wear for
ever. The manufacture of these is en
tirely confined to Pirot, near the Bulgar
ian frontier, from which place they take
their commercial name. The real indus
trial wealth of Servia lies in its pigs.
Out of a population of nine millions,
seven millions walk on four legs with an
independent air, a sort of a “pig and a
. brother” assumption of coaqual rights
and privileges. The Servian pig is cer
tainly a remarkable animal, and no other
pig is so self-assertive, so strong, or so
hairy as he. We have seen one of them,
while driving along by the side of his
j master, insist on alighting where he
! pleases, which happened to be over the
splashboard. No persuasion or argument
, could induce him to alter his mind, and
it was not till he had tripped up the pony
j and upset the cart that he was satisfied.
; The mature h®g's coat is of a deep red
brown, and as curly as a turn
f ing to long gray bristles down his back
las he advances in years. His presence is
: everywhere visible or audible. He crops
l out on every hillside and from every
thicket and copse, and lines the banks of
| the Danube in hundreds, while the train
| that carries you away from Belgrade will
] cross tracks packed with squealing pork
ers and taxing imagination to conceive by
what ingenuity the beasts were ever in
duced to enter and be penned. When
we remember that King Alexander's
great-grandfather was a swineherd at
Takovo, we must further allow the pig
his niche in Servian history, to add to his
commercial importance and arsistic value.

Why Hotel Clerks Wear Diamonds.
“That's all right about joking the ho
tel clerks about their big diamonds,’
said the hotel clerk as he reached over
the desk as though ho intended to grab
thewriter. “I honestly think that when
newspaper men have to write a four ot
five-line joke to fill in they tackle the
hotel man and his diamonds. Well, il
there is a class of people in all this worn!
who ought to wear diamonds, they are
the hotel clerks. They are an all-suffer
ing class as sure as you live. Why, if
they were treated right they would be
presented by admiring friends with dia
monds and watches galore, day in and
day out through the entire year.
“Now, let me give you a pointer on
how the clerks all seem to hitch on to
diamonds. The hotel clerk takes to the
glittering stones like a duck takes to wa
ter. Now, the proprietor of the hotel
wants the man who stands behind the
desk to be as neat as a pin. It gives the
house a standing. You cannot think of
a hotel clerk in Boston who is not a well
dressed man. They must dress well, and
if they do not the trade would begin to
fall off. Then, to make things stronger,
the clerk must of necessity wear dia
monds. This is to give the house an air
of prosperity which it would not other
wise have, prrhaps. The proprietors
want their men to wear precious stones.
It gives the guests a chance to say :
•Well these fellows are pretty well paid,
and the house must be doing a prettv
good business when they all wear ’em.’
So you can see why it is that the moment
a man gets a position as hotel clerk he at
once goes hustling and buys a diamond.
It’s part of the business.”— Boston Her

A writer who has been overhauling
the record* of the patent office says:
“The first patent granted to a woman a*
to Miss Mary Keif in the year 1800, for
weaving straw with silk or thread. The
next was fifteen year* later, when Mary
Brush received a patent fora corset. Two
years afterward Sophia Vilier followed
with cream of tartar carbonated liquid.
In 1822 Julia Planton had a foot-stov*
patented. Of later years the entries in the
patent office at Washington have been
annual. In the period between 1800 and
1858 precisely fifty patents were granted
to women. They arc all embraced in
one page of the record. But iu 1868 the
entries fill a full page, and by 1873 three
pages. The first native patentee who-e
address ia recorded ia Agdalena 8. Good
man, of Duval County, Fla., in 1859, for
an improvement in broom brushes. I'p
to the outbreak of the Civil War she and
cne other were the only Southern women
who had thus distinguished themselves.
During the same period Nc-w York had
fnmished fourteen, Massachusetts four,
Ohio two, Maine, Connecticut, Indiana
and New Jersey one each. These patents
are by no means confined to the domestic
arts and conveniences, or to the hygiene
and adornment of the female sex. In
1864 Mary Jane Montgomery, of New
York, brought forward her improved war
vessel. In the same year a young woman
from Michigan introduced the improved
lantern dinner jia.il. Miss Montgomery
also devised an improvement in locomo
tive wheels, and she has many associates in
railway inventions, even to an apparatus
for destroying vegetation on railroads.
There is a woman in lowa who, with a
male partner, makes an improvement in
rigars. Another in Philadelphia invented
x mustache spoon. A Boston woman con
tributes a trousers tree, and another an
ipparatus for killing mosquitoes.”—-Yn*

women's LETTERS TO MRS. HARRISON.
The most exacting, time-consuming
and laborious portion of the daily routine
of the chief lady of the White House is
her correspondeuce. One of the princi
pal subjects of correspondence is the re
quest for samples of her inaugural ball
costume. They come from feminine
sources, of course, and in the appeals for
the coveted fragment of the silk-woven,
homespun textile, the acme of epistolary
composition and logic is often reached.
In the kindness of heart Mrs. Harrison
has gratified many of these simple appeals
from the fabricators of erazy-quiits and
ptfch work, but not to the exteat of de
molishing the historic gown in which sho
looked so well in the vast court of the
pension building, but from garments
which had seen service in church-going,
household display, and social duty in
times of Senatorial dignity, and in the
retirement of home life in Indianapolis.
In this fragmentary form the dresses of
former days have disappeared, leaving a
decided void in the wardrobe of the first
lady.
The fair sex relic hunters of the re
public do not stop at samples of inaugu
ration dresses, but intersperse their well
intentioned epistolary requests, by asking
locks from the bounteous tresses which
lie in wavy brown masses threaded with
gray upon the head of the first lady.
There is a limit to the responsibilities ol
nature, and notwithstanding her wealth
of the treasured article sought, these
requests are respectfully declined, or com
mitted to the silk-lined paper basket,
where every one must admit they be
long. If even a moiety of the appeals
for locks of hair for charity or jewelry
were gratified, the presiding lady would
long since have been driven to such ex
pedients to replace nature's supply known
only among the tonsorial mysteries of the
wig maker and the hair dresser.
Another fruitful theme of epistolary
communication between the outside world
and the inner circle of the President's
family springs from solicitous grand
mothers and thrifty matrons who make
the care of the inner man their chief de
light and study. There have been
recipes enough received for bodily ail
ments, particularly in the infant stages
of humanity, to constitute aa invaluable
pharmacopeia for White Household
practice, but with possible consequences
for which no one would care to be re
sponsible. Reams of stationery have
been thus traversed by chirographic ef
forts which might be a suflicieat guarantee
of tho simple-hearted intentions of the
writers, but advance little encouragement
upon which to base a very high estimate
of their learning.
Another field of epistolary effort, and
one well worked by the indefatigable
wiseacres of a thousand households and
communities, is that which blooms in the
self-constituted advisory relations of the
writer. This would make another chapter
of horrors to which the first lady is com
pelled to submit. She daily receives
directions sufficient to run the domestic
snd social affairs of the White House into
the ground without half trying Phila
delphia Inquirer.

An average of five feet of water is esti

evaporation to supply such rainfall must
equal the lifting of 322,000,000 pounds
of water 3000 feet in every minute, or
about three hundred billion horse power
constantly exerted. Of this prodigious
amount of energy thus created a very
small proportion is transferred to the
waters that run back through rivers to
the sea, and a still smaller fraction is
utilized by man; the remainder is dissi
pated in space.
Currency From the Treasury.
According to the United States Trea
sury officials at Washington paper cur
rency wears best after being kept in the
vaults six months or more a ter coming
from the printers’ hands. They are theu
considered “seasoned,” the ink being
thoroughly dried into the paper, and tin
paper itself wearing better after parting
with its moisture.
The supply of silver certificates, which
constitute the only small notes now is
sued, is kept well ahead of the demand,
and of the silver actually coined. It ii
not counted as money until it is taken
out of the reserve vault and formally is
sued. If the business of the country de
mands it, the issue of certificates cau be
increased $20,000,000 beyond what it
now is, for there is that number of silver
dollars in the Treasury after deducting
the silver certificates in circulation.
Treasurer Huston has given directions
that in sending silver certifieatvs and
other money to the various sub-treasurers
in the country needs of the locality shall
be carefully studied. If there seems to
be a paucity of two-dollar certificates
and a demand for them, certificates of
that denomination will be forwarded. By
the use of a little foresight in this way
Mr. Huston hopes to save money to the
banks and serve the business community.
When demands are made directly
upon the Treasury for the transmission of
legal tender notes or silver certificates,
they are sent by express. There is no ap
propriation of public moneys for paying
the expressage, and it is done by the
banks. In order to facilitate its transac
tions, Mr. Huston has recently concluded
a contract with the United States Express
Company, by which they agree to carry
money, when paid by the Government at
the point of departure, at the Government
rate.
This rate is only fifteen cents on SIOOO
to New York, while the private rate
would be four or five times as much.
When a request is received from a bank
for any particular sum of money, the ex
press charges will be deducted and paid
here, and the money forwarded at the
Government rate. The Adams Express
Company would not put in a bid for this
work at Government rates, but left the
field to its rival, of which Tom Platt is
the chief. —New York News.
Ants Make a Temperance Drink.
‘ ‘Did you know that ants would make
lemonade?” said a Bridge street grocer to
a Tribvnt man the other day. “They
will, for I have seen them do it several
times. The other day I left a slice of
lemon on the counter, and there happened
to be some sugar not far off. and directly
I noticed the ants carrying the sugar to
the lemon juice. I thought it was rather
queer as well as cute, and, to test the
matter, have tried it several times by put
ting a piece of lemon on the counter and
placing some sugar near by, and the ants
never fail to carry the sugar to the lemon.
What do you think of that now? It is
an absolute fact.” —Tampa Tribune.

THE “SINGLE TAX."
What the Phraae Moan*—Lucid Ex
planation the Theory.
We hear ranch nowadays of the “sin
gle tax” agitation. There ia a “Hing
Tax" league, which has a considerable
membership throughout the country;
public meeting* in tin- interest of the
"Mingle T*x’’i.re held, and several new a
patter* and many l>k* advocating the
“Single Tax” an- pubii-lied or have been
published. Wl.at * tin* “single tax f

measure, wl, la-i it !- built upon or

which it posaraac* from l antes* to the
centres of lxipuWtion or buMiieoc
The “Single Tax” theory ia based upon
the doctrine that the land rightfully 1*?-
longs to all the jample. That the ex
elusive pneewwion of laud by aidivutvalH
is not right, and that the separate own
ership of land might 1*: merged mto a
*ort of joint-stock ownership of the pun
I lie without injustice, was first suggested,
in England, by the *.*.ial philosopher,
! Herbert St*-neor. The doctrine received
| a much fuller statement in this country
at the liU’id* of Mr. Henry George, in a
book ca 1.-d “Projre-k and Poverty,
I first punli.-hed in 1879. M . George i*
accounted the Ur te’er of the * Single
Tax” system, and is the head and front
of the agitatiou.
Mr. George and bis follower** niain
t* in that, uiub r the present ay atom <f
private ownership of laud, the burden of
poverty resting upon the mass of man
kind grows heavier a** the world makes
material progress: that in spite of t..e
increase iu the world s productive
power, wages always tend to a minimum
which will give but a bare living. They
hold that private ownership of laud,
with the privilege *f holding it for spec
ulative purposes and f frmg up reii.s
as population and industry advance, lias
the effect to put a monopoly of natural
opp* rtunitie* int > the hand" of the land
owners. The natural opportunities be- j
ing thus monopolized, laborers are com- j
pelled to compete with each other t |
such an evtent as to force wages down to i
tile lowest possible ]stint.
As they hold that wages of all classes of
laborers depend ujs.n the productive
cultivation ot the soil, Mr. George and
his followers maintain that the true
remedy for poverty is to make the laud
common property.
They do not, however, propose to
disturb the occupants of land, so long as
the Ox-c lpanta make full use of their
laud. They propose, on the contrary,
to allow the possess rs of the sod to con
tinue to buy and sell and bequeath it.
But they do projn*e t< take all the rent
bv taxation. To do this would make
the occupant of the land a tenant pay
ing rent to the State.
This proposition, which was lirst
known under the name *f “land nation
alization,’* has since, by the •common
consent of its advocates, become known
as the “Single Tj;\” movement, the
efforts of its friends having been direct
ed more specifically to the abolition of
all other forms of taxation. They bold
that the removal of taxation from indus
tries in general would stimulate manu
factures and business, at the same time
that it destroyed speculation in lan l, to
such an extent that the general pros
perity would lx* immensely increased
and wages greatly ra ; se 1.
They hold that the revenue from the
Single Tax would bo so large as to enable
the government to maintain schools and
colleges, build and operate railroads
and telegraphs, and do many things
which it does not now engage in.—

l’rotection from Lightning.
The fatal lightning stroke is so fre
quent this season, that persons much ex
posed to thunder storms should take all
known precaurii n against it. In a scien
tific paper recently ri ad t c ore the Royal
Meteorological society, Mr. J. Y. St m is,
F. If. S., tLe English meteorologist, pre
sented a large mass of important data- n
the phenomena of thunderstorms. Or
dinarily, persons exposed to a thunder
storm flee to the nearest shelter to escape
wetting. Mr. Symons shows th t “ii a
man is thoroughly wet it is impossible
for ligh'ning to kill Liin." He refers to
a remarkable proof of this fact. The
great scientific lecturer, Faraday, once
demonstrated to his audience at the
Royal institution, that with all the pow
erful electrical apparatus at his disposal
it was impossible for him to kill a rat
whose coat had been stturaied with wa
ter. It would be well, therefore, for any
person in a severe thunderstorm, and ia
ble to a lightning stroke, to allow him
self to be dr. nche 1 with rain at the ear
liest moment possible, and in the absence
cf sufficient rainfall to avail liirose f o
any other means at hand to wet his out r
apparel.— Jf. Y. Herald,
