R. E.. CASON'
DENTIST,
TnOUOIITS ABOUT POTTItKT.
TI10 llawkryc philosopher says: Verily,
tho potter hath‘power over the clay.
Therefore, tho day is the pot., but the
man who makes it is tho potter. Erg0,
protest. Refilled and scliolarly joke.
This stylo six for a dollar. For two dol
lars ati explanation of this suporlativo joko
and the /fawbge for one year will bo
stmt to any part of tho United States or
Canada. Put that iu your dear Havana
cigar and smoko it.
Pottery is tho oldest industry iu tuo
world Adam was made of clay. But
ho acted ns though he was only half-
baked. His son Cain built tho first kiln
In the country.
Tho js.ttor works in the mud, lienoo wo
admire his work. Ilis lift) is one long net
of nmddor, but ho is never hangdtl for it,
though sometimes I10 is broken at tho
wheel
All his work, however good, goes to the
fire. What ho bakeH you cannot oat, al
though you eat what the other baker sets
on it.
Tho potter is an aristocrat by nature,
and always belongs to a sot. To several
sets, iu fact.
Ho iB independent and urns his own
living \,
He is a basn ball star, and makes a hot
ter pitcher than tho “old Nolan.”
Ho iH no dec-eon, but lie passes the plate
regularly. A rigid temperance man, ho
is fond of his bowl. And he always
mokes it go round, too.
There never was but one blind potter,
and he did not stay blind long, for he
mado a cup and saw, sir.
Ho is always hopeful, for it is in his
nature to look oup.
He is a generous follow, and what is his
is ewers.
He believes in human equality, and
thinks the law should make claymou tho
equals of the clergy.
“Who breaks, pays,” must have boon
originated by the potter. Although in
these perilous times, it is more likely to
road, “who pays, breaks,”
A pottery is the place whore they make
pots, hut not Jack pots, by a long elnilk.
Tho potters make all things of clay, but
this docs not make clazay of them, by
any means.
Thin tiling may seem to be running in
to the ground. That’s whero it has to
go, to get tho raw material.
DENVER T1U11UNE FABLES.
A child Awakening from its Sleep in
tho Dead of-Night, cried out to his Mam
ma in affright: “Oh, mamma,” said the
Child, “I saw a Big Kitty at tho Win
dow.” “Be calm, my Dear,” replied Hie
Mother, “I have been Married too Long
to be Worried at anything Short of
Snakes in your Papa’s Boots.”
A Doo and his Tail fell into a Dispute
as to which should Wag the Other. An
itinerant Wasp passing that Way casually
Remarked: “Speaking of Tails reminds
me that I Possess one which May possi
bly be Influential enough to Wag you
Both.” This fable Teaches that ten
cents' worth of Dynamite is a bigger man
than a Church Steeple.
A who had a Mild type of tho
MenkT,; Xllrited a number of her Ac
quaintances to a Party. Producing from
the Pantry a Bowl of Sweetmeuts, she
said: “Behold now an Act of Generosity.
I will Take tho Sweetmeats, and you,
Unices you immediately Take your De
parture, will Take the Measles.” This
fable illustrates the ingenuousness of
childhood.
A precocious Boy was once afflicted
with a Boil in that Locality of the Anat
omy which is seldom mentioned in Polite
society. To him a Playmate addressed
Words of Condolence. “Oh,” replied
the Precocious Boy, “I’m not so Power
ful bad off After all. This boil has
taught me, in its Quiet, unobtrusive
way, what Mantel-Pieces were Made for,
as you yourself shall Learn if you will
Stay and See me Eat my Supper.” This
fable Teaches that All created things
have their Spheres to Fill iu this Life.
“What were the real foots of that Bos
ton experience you hod in fast receiving a
good many yearn ago?” Mr. Edison was
a^ked.
“Let me sec; that was in 1808. 1 had
been Working in Louisville, Ky,, a
couple of years, and went from there to
Mielngnn. A friend named Adams got
me a jdiicc here iu Boston, and I came
over, arriving hero about 4:30 o’clock,
and had to go to work at 5:30 o’clock.
Although it was tho middle of winter 1
came into the " - J|ce with, a linen duster
on, for I won very poor then. A fellow
named Joek V.rigiit, who knew mo out
Went, thought to have some fun, so lie
posted the olllco and lmd New York put
on an operator named llagl y at their
end of tho line, with a sj>eoiu.l of 800
words to the Journal, Ho had had my
end switched to a table about tho middle
of the room, near the manager's desk.
Not tmtqiccting anything, I Hat down and
commenced taking it. Soon Bagloy
commence l to ‘whoop ’em up,’ and,
although I was accustomed to keep six
or eight words behind in copying, 1
thought it Is'st to close up, csineially as
ho Commenced to send some awful
sticking stuff, milking l's of his m’s and
contracting his words, sending ‘imy,’ for
instance, for ‘immediately,’ I having to
write it out in full. Happening to look
up, I not,iced fifteen or twenty operators
grinning behind mo. Then I saw it was
put-up job,’ and my blood got up anil
I determined l would not break. Opera
tors in New York asked over other wires
if I wns getting it, and would hardly
iHiliove the replies. When I thought In
had reached the top of his speed I opened
my koy and said: ‘Don’t go to Bleep;
shako yourself and hurry through this I’
•"The way I managed it was this: I
had practiced all kinds of handwriting,
and found that by a kind of print hand I
could write fifty-five words per minute,
aud I know there was no man who could
keep u»- that speed with a telegraph key,
so I felt safe if I could only roud the
ticking. I had no fears os to that either,
as I hail rood all kindH of ‘olipi>ed’ send
ing in tho West. Another thing thnt
was in my favor is, that I am a little
deaf, so that the hum of an oilleo does
not disturb me, and I gave my whole
attention to the clicking of an instru
ment.
“There is a little experience I hod out
in Indianapolis that may interest you.
I woh very ambitious to receive ‘press
report,’ and used to sit up until tho 2 a.
m. ‘press report;’ listening besido tho re
ceiving operator, until after awhile I
could receive it very nioely, and then 1
wanted to rooeivo press myself. Nutur-
ally, when I had tho roal responsibility
of taking it, I ‘bulled’ it bad at first, as
they sent at tho rate of forty words a
minute. I thought tho matter over, and
worked out u little plan to liavo the
‘register’ indent Home tin foil as it came
in, and then had the hoy turn it through
another instrument, which ticked it off
at the rate of alxrnt twonty-flvo words
per minute, which I read and wrote of!
very easily. Tho only trouble was that
we got ‘30’ (good night) from tho East
about 2:30 a. in., while it was sometimes
an hour or more later when we got the
last sheet to tho newspapers. Thoy com
menced to growl after awhile, and our
manager dropped in on us one morning
and dii’coverod our little game in full
blast.
“By the way, there were several valu
able inventions wrapped np in that office
trick. Talking of the tinfoil reminds me
of another incident. There was a fast-
sending tournament gotten up once, iu
which tho judges were to be at 8t. Louis,
and the fast-senders throughout the
Slate wore to send from their respective
offices to tho central office in St. Louis.
Now, although I have a reputation as a
receiver, I have just tho opposite reputa
tion as a sender, and when I entered my
name in the list to compete there was
great ‘ha-haing’ over the wires. We
were given a chapter in the Bible to
send, and, while the other men were prao-
riciuu sending it. I worked out tho ohap
ter on the tinfoil, and fixed everything
already to turn tho crank at tho rate of
about fifty or fifty-five words per minute,
getting our boys to keep quiet about it.
For somo reason the contest never came
off, and I did not have tho pleasure of
carrying off the prize.”—Boston Herald,
ORIGIN OK PETROLEUM.
,,Few Throrle* na In Mow It Unmo 1st* Ki<
btrarp.
A matter of absorbing lint still unsat
isfied curiosity, says a letter from Brad
ford, Pa., to tWfi Now York firming j
Post, is the origin of this petroleum or
"rook oil,” gushing up from a thousand
or more foot l>elow the surface, and fill
ing so largeaplnco in our commorce and ]
industry. Science, on many points so
prcciso aud positive, gives us here two
divergent theories. By ono hypothesis
it is contended that the pnroun saml-
roek which underlies the oil regions on
an average about a fifth of a mile below
I tie surface is the original source of tho
oil deposit. In these saml-roek strata,
it is said, formed from beds and
shoals of rivers, there were ages ago
deposited vast masses of vegetation.
These, under certain conditions, pro
duced coal which in its chemical cou-
stituouls much resembles oil; but under
coin litions a lit tic varied they produced
oil which, with gas, is held smqicndcd
in tho spongy stone, aud now and then
gal hero in cavernous magazines, where
it iH held fast under the immense pres
sure which, when relaxed by the oil
digger's drill, drives the fluid to the sur
face in a jet of oil and gas. A second
theory asserts that the oil is not gener
ated in tho sand-rock measures, hut in
tho carboniferous shales far below. Here
then) is developed by heat • gas which,
forcing its way upward through rooky
fissures, reaches tho colder sand-ns)k
strata, whero it is condensed into oil,
and this oil is hold down uniter the
hsrder upper crust of sand-rook until
tlie drill gives it exit. This lost is, I be
lieve, the hypothesis moat generally ac-
cop tod by scientists of present fame.
Whatever the origin of potrnleim, there
can Is) no doubt of tho magnitude of
those oj>erations of Nature which—scien
tifically rather than commercially speak
ing—have boon going on over an area of
some 4,000 square miles in Pennsylvania
alone, which have led to tho sinking of
some 30,000 wells, costing on an average
>t least *2,500 each, or *75,000,000 alto
gether, and which have been so wantonly
ukuHcd by the improvidence of man that
the shadows which portend the failure
of our eoal-oil supply have already be
gun to fail
The crude petroleum, as it issues from
the Bradford Wells, might vory readily
Imi mistaken for dirty water. It is yel
low in tint, takes fire like other oils,
foams easily when ignited, and seems
more viscid and less strong in smell than
the lower grades of the refined article.
If tho reader will take a small vial, fill
it with water, add a little* sweet oil und
yellow dirt, then shake up the compound
vigorously, ho will have—barring tho
smell a pretty good Jikeness of the
crude rock-oil of the Bradford region.
In refining about one-quarter of the crude
petroleum pusses away, laYgcly into more
solid products, which are so far utilized
now that petroleum may lie regarded as
a complex product with ovory part val
uable. Few people appreciate its place
iu our «q>ort trade. In tho fiscal year
ending in 1881 wo shipped to foreign
countries petroleum and petroleum pro
ducts worth *40,815,000. It ranks third
in our export trade, following bread-
stuffs and ootton, and tho exports rep
resent only a fraction of the whole pro
duct. In this connection I may say
that, according to trustworthy estimates
here in Bradford, the notorious Standard
oil monopoly which controls tho trade
can produce refined petroleum at five
cents a gallon. Householders, there
fore, can estimate for themselves, from
the local prices they pay to their grocers,
the intermediate costs and'proflts. Here
in Bradford the best roflnod petroleum
sells at ten cents a gallon.

The Hawkinsville Dispatch says; The
most aged cow in Georgia—perhaps in

that the cow is 100 years old, and is now

improbability, in fact, the almost impos

the gentleman assured us that she lias
belonged to his grand parents, great

that there is no doubt that tho cow is
