Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Govt Repot 11 W C7 REDHOT HAYMAKINQ, One Amateur"! Experience Wm Complete and Satisfactory In One Day. The hottest experience I ever met with in the country was the day I help ed to make hay. The farmer began to call us shortly after midnight, and after a long siege of intermittent yelling he succeeded in his design of getting us out of bed several hours before it was neces sary. It was then 9 a. m. About two hours later we had had our breakfasts and were entering the hayfleld. When one gets into trouble, the open ing scenes are always alluring. A gor geous sunrise was in full swing in the east. The dew lay on the grass, and the air was cool and invigorating. I could not but agree with the poets that the scent of the new mown hay was very inspiring. I felt like a colt and was keen to jump into the sport The first heat consisted in bunching the hay after the rake, which the farmer himself drove about the field with many loud "gees" and "haws," but few "whoas." The old rascal took a fiend ish delight in crowding us. It began to look a little like work. When the hay was all hunched, tha high ladder wagons were driven into the field. Being a novice, I was assigned the duty of loading. I stood upon the wagon and built the load as the hay was pitch ed to me theoretically, but on me actual ly. The first dose knocked all the poetry out of me. The blazing snn had sucked up all the dewdrops and was now high in the east He seemed to focus his scorching rays on the wagons, and the hay crackled and sizzled about me like frying fat It was noon 20 times all at once. I thought I was becoming liquified. I sank to my neck in the hay and roasted in a con centrated oven of absorbed Eolar heat Not a breeze stirred. No friendly cloud hovered near to screen the orb of fire. I vainly tried to fancy I was in the Arctio ocean and the wagon was a floating ice berg. The old pitchers, inured to the heat and the avocation, still fed on the hay. We were jerked into the barn from the frying pan into the fire and I was there barbecued for half an hour in the hot beds of the mow. Out we shot again into the broiling field. All day long this process of slow torture continued. It was a little drama from the snow less land inserted into real life, the farmer impersonating Ba ton, the pitchers his archangels and my self Charon's lost passenger. But, thank heaven, the farmer wag no Joshua, and the sun at last complet ed his trip across the skies and disap peared beneath the mountain. The next day my place on the wagon was occu pied by some other fool Philadelphia Press. The Bank of Scotland. The Bank of Scotland, now 200 years old, naturally sought to encourage Scot tish industries, and this is shown in the manufacture of its paper for botes. The first large notes were made in 1696, 20 shilling notes, as they were termed, be ing only issued on April 7, 1704. In 1729 the bank's paper was manufac tured at Giff ordhall, near Haddington. Attendants had to be present in the bank's interest, and their account was paid by the bank. One item was "ale and bread furnished to the workmen, 10s.," and another for "drink money to servants, 4 17s. 6L" The items are suggestive, although it is possible they only represented drink money in name. In 1735 the hank got its 20 shilling banknotes made at Collingtoun Miln (Colinton mill), and there is an "ao compt for drink money" in connection with it. A barber came twice from Edinburgh to shave the officials and re ceived 8s. for his professional attend ance. Green tea must have cost at this time 24s. per pound, for in the bill , a quarter pound sells for 6s. At this Colinton mill the bank appears to have kept all the employees in food during the time the paper was being manufac tured. A man was engsged 12 days at the paper mill in dressing meat, and he cut up in that time 200 pounds of it Meat and mutton cost only 2d. per pound in those good old days. A hen is charged at 84, a duck at 9d, one "sol Ian goose," Is. 8d. ; a dozen eggs, 3d. ; six chickens, only Is. 4d., and a wild fowl, lOd. ; cheese cost 4d. per pound and bacon 8L per pound. In 1769 the bank's note paper was made at Red haugh Miln (Redhall mill). Chambers' Journal.

Oh. it was but a dream I had While the musician played And here the sky and here the glad Old ocean kissod the glade. And here the laughing ripples ran, And here the roses grew That threw a kiss to every man That voyaged with the oruw. Our silken sails in lasy folds Drooped in the breathless breese, As o'er a field of marigolds Our eyes swam o'er the seas, While here the eddies lisped and purled Around the island's rim. And up from out the nnderwold We saw the mermen swim. And it was dawn and middle day And midnight for the moon On silver rounds across the bay Had climbed the skies of June, And here the glowing, glorious king Of day ruled o'er the realm, With stars of midnight glittering About his diuduni. The seagull roeled on languid wing In circles round the mast; We heard the songs the sirens sing As we went sailing past. And up and down the golden sands - A thousand fairy throngs Flung at us from their flashing hands The echoes of their songs. ' James Whitoomb Riley. PRINTING BY TELEGRAPH. Aa Electrical Typewriter That Transmlta Printed Characters. The printing telegraph, though a de vice of comparatively recent develop ment, has been the subject of ceaseless investigation, and practical workers in electricity have directed their whole at tention in some instances to the trans mission of messages and the recording of them in plain Roman characters. Its advantages are simply those of an electrical typewriter, by means of which the message is printed in the presence of the transmitting operator in page form, and a duplicate of the same print ed at all the receiving stations on the line, whether it be a long or short cir cuit A single transmission prints it simultaneously in page form ready. for the compositor's case in all the news paper offices of many cities. It is said to differ materially from all other known means of telegraphy in one essential particular. In it the impulses move the instruments, whereas in other systems the instruments move the im pulse that is to say, the transmitter of the message is caused to run by a sepa rate power. No combination of elec trical impulse or currents is employed. An even succession of dots or impulses, which operate the polarized relay arma ture at the receiving station, places the revolving type wheel in the required position, when the local mechanism causes the letter to be printed. The apparent impossibility of trans mitting printed characters 600 or 1,000 miles over a single wire at once presents itself to the mind, and it is overcome in this system, it is asserted, in a very simple way. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a certain number of impulses, which revolve the type wheel to the required position, when the let ters are struck by the local mallet. . Fourteen impulses represent the en tire alphabet, making a complete revolu tion of the type wheel, which may be turned 200 revolutions per minute, thus securing very rapid printing. Its advan tage also is that of absolute secrecy as a means of communication. The advan tage of the printing telegraph for the transmission of news to the newspaper offices is unquestionably a subject com manding attention on the part of pro gressive proprietors. Paper and Press. Too Much Machinery. "Do you know the curse of modern journalism?" asked an old journalist the other day. "It's the typewriter. It destroys orig inality. It gives to everything thatf is written a mechanical touch. There's no style or individuality about anything composed on a typewriter. "You will find that the newspaper writers in all the larger offices use type writers. The use of them has extended in many other directions. Mgr. Sotolli has one. But wherever you find a man writing on one and composing as he writes you will find that his work is cramped, mechanical, unimaginative, without the slightest touch of fancy or vitality. "Go into the offices of the big dailies and you will find the young men who make the papers seated at a typewriter, grinding out columns of colorless, un readable stuff for the paper. Yon can't turn out thought by machinery, and the young men who write their matter for the press on typewriters never rise above the level of mediocrity. Go into the composing rooms of the big dailies, too, and you will find the printers setting type by machinery. No style about that It's straight, stiff, formal, unattractive, without any individuality. It takes the human touch to give the proper life and color to anything. There's too much machinery. " Atlanta Constitution. Geode. Did you ever see a geode, the ugly, creamy, yellow, rounded rock, which, upon being broken open, presents a per fect wilderness of diamondlike crystals? They are oddities of the oddest kind, and are not too plentiful anywhere. The word "geode" means "earthform" and is applied to all hollow stones which are filled with crystallized matter. When broken open, some are found to be full of pure looking, clear water. Oth ers appear to be full of yellow or brown paint, while a third class are filled with what appears to be a very fair quality of tar. No odds what the filling of the cavity may be composed of, the sides are always studded with crystals. Should the filling be yellow the crystals are likely to be of the same color, but by far the greater portion of them are as clear as ice or diamonds. St. Louis Republic.

A Severe Criticism of the Waye of Shop keepers and Cashier Tho Steamboat Clerk Who Said, "We Never Rectify Mis takes Here." No one perceives the wisdom, and in deed the necessity, of accurate book keeping more fully than your humble servant, who can't keep books to save her life and who finds herself approach ing dementia every time sho endeavors to balance a cash acconut But why in all bookkeeping systems, from banks to the smallest retail shop, is it invariably the customer who gets cheated if any body? Tell me, ye winged winds, which e'er my pathway roll 1 It is useless to contradict and say that it isn't The one exception in a thousand years does not count against the millions of oppos ing instances. I have lately read the pathetic account by some recluse, who never goes shopping, of the bloodthirsty monsters who take more change than is due them and stalk out, leaving no ad dress behind them, little recking the sufferings of the poorly paid employee who has to moke good the deficit out of his or her own pocket Fudge I No such mistakes occur, or, if they do, they are rarer than fresh vegetables on a country table. In all large establishments there is a hawk headed Horus at the "desk" waiting to pounce on a mistake in the customer's favor of 1 cent, and many's the time every one of us can testify the little slips have been returned to be cor rected of mistakes to our credit, while we fumed. Thank goodness, there are instances in which the sharpshooters have wound ed themselves. Once I was on a "sound" boat going from New York to Fall River, and the man at the desk gave me a $5 bill too much in change when paying after supper. There was something of a crowd, but that mistake would have made itself evident to me in a mob. I dashed back and said, "You've made a mistake in my change. " "Can't help that," said the lordly clerk. "We never rectify mistakes here. " "Oh, you don't?" retorted the head of the party. "Well, it will cost you some thing this time, for you have given us $5 too much. But if you never rectify mistakes you aro the loser for once. " It is foolish to dwell on the sequel, and I have forgotten it I only remem ber that the young man, pale and agi tated, danced in supplication around the unmoved figure of the stern admonisher for some minutes. I suppose he got his money, and I dare say there was no law upholding one in keeping it, but I hope, at this distance of time, be didn't. One day, not long ago, I was at a furnishing shop in State street, Chicago, buying a tie. The price was $1.50, and I present ed the man with a $2 bilL He swung over the little birdcage on a telegraph line and it came swiftly back with a 50 cent piece. Seeing another tie for that price,, I handed back the change and was about to leave, when a voice came from the elevated desk at the other end : "Hi I This half dollar is counterfeit I" Although it was a public place and I am a retiring lady, I burst wildly forth into a clarion shout of joy. It is so sel dom a modest customer has the chance of beholding a natural enemy caught with his own quicklime. The mortifica tion of the salesman serving me was nniothing to see. It did me good for a .hole day. Sending a counterfeit half dolhir cheerfully and with promptitude in change and repudiating it on its re turn tho next minute 1 It was a sharp gamo aud a little too sharp. Everybxly who shops much knows that it is next to impossible to get a "rotunied" article credited, or, indeed, called for. If you take two rugs on ap proval I meotiou rugs because you can't very woll return them by hand and stato clearly and plainly and over and over tho price of the one yon have kept and the one yon wish returned, you are more likoly than not to find both ou your bill tho next month, and you aro likely to find the rug day after day littering your hall unless you tele phone twice a day and end by flouncing down yourself in a rage and demanding its instant removal Of course if it is kept long you are charged with it, any way. The other night, when it was very hot, some friends of a lady in moderate circumstances dining with her suggest ed a drive in the park. One of the men telephoned for a landau, and at the end of the drive paid for it. The next week the bill came in to the lady. Now of course this was an accident. But why doesn't the other accident ever happen? Why should thousands of bills come in to be paid twice, while by no oversight or bad management does a bill ever get forgotten or overlooked? Money getting, grasping, greedy generation of shop keepers I Business is business, if you like, but business need not be a cut throat, bloodthirsty system of demand ing what is not due, need it? Must it be in this way that men grow rich? It is because only one kind of mis takes occur that one is justified in think ing that only one kind is guarded against The customer has to look out for himself and the shopkeeper too. The shopkeeper only looks out for himself. As for the breaking of promises, the calm delays and the superb independ ence of "purveyors," words fail me when I attempt to depict their aggrava tions. Success breeds contempt, it seems, and the only way to get a thing done promptly is to patronize a little up town place where they can't do it Mme. Lorgnette in Chicago Post Against Racing of Liners. Our Paris correspondent tells us that the French admiralty is preparing a bill to put an end to racing by "ocean grey hounds," a practice which is recognized in Paris as the chief cause of collisions and loss of ships on the high seas. The thirteenth paragraph of the internation al regulations of 1883 limits the speed at sea, but it has become a dead letter, owing to the lack of penal sanction, the bill of 1891 only dealing with lights and fog signals. The new bill provides heavy penalties for excessive speed, even if put on for a short space of time. London Globe. Read Vour Letter Again. Never mail a letter written at night until it has been reread in the morning. You may materially reduce the number of your correspondents by persisting in this course, but you will gam in reputa tion for prudence and common sense. What seems philosophy by candlelight is bat folly by day, and the brilliancy of night lacks sparkle is the morning. The Trotting Uorao. There is much logio in what the Now York Suu says about shorter trotting races. It is uot an uncommon thing now (or a horse attached to a sulky to go a half uudor a two minute gait aud a quarter at a speed rivaling Salvator's in his palmy days. When five or six and sometimes seven aud eight heats aro trotted very nearly at this pace, the strain on a horse must be tremendous. Eveutually he must break dowu under it It seems likely that in the near fu ture the trotting race will, as The Suu says, bo shorter. This year in Buffalo, however, the old plau will be in opera tion, except in special contests, aud no doubt the great majority of horse lovers will be glad that it is.

There is more catarrh in this section ot the country than all other diseases put to gether, ana until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and perscribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a con stitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaipoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
