In n village In Central New York
there was a great deal of aristocracy
mid wealth and eligible matches were
source, or at least tho supply of desira
ble men was not equal to the number
if women, and there was much wire
pulling to bring about results. A little
girl, whose father was a widower, used
to have her compositions praised by
the teacher, who was a well preserved
maiden lady. A little schoolmate said
to her one day, after hearing it: "If
my father was a widower, my coin po
sitions would bo just as good as yours!'

Not Improved workmanship but
rapidity Is the distinguished feature of
the mechanical arts and trades nowa
days. An Instance of this was notice
able in" tho experience of a lady who
went Into an umbrella maker's store
one day and asked for an umbrella of
peculiar size and make which she
wanted to take with her at once to
Liverpool. The dealer did not have
one in stock but said that he could
make one In short order If she would
wait. -She hat down in anticipation of
a dreary afternoon of waiting, but in
precisely twenty-five minutes departed
with the finished article. It had been
made up entire from tho raw materials.
The Boston Journal of Ikalth says:
'It is recommended that tho milk sup
ply of cities, ut least In hot weather, bo
tealded as soon as received by the con
sumers to prevent it souring. To sculd
milk properly tho following method is
advised: Take a thin glass bottlo with
k rubber cork, fill it with milk nearly
up to theneck, and placo it uncorked
In a kettle of water, which should then
be gradually brought to a boll. When
steam has commenced to escape from
iln hot tin. cork it liuhtlv and continue
the boiling for thirty-live to forty min
Ues, and the process will be complete.
A bottle of milk thus preserved, it Is
said, will remain sweet a month if kept
in a cool placo and tightly corked.
REFUSED HIS SALARY.
A finvermir of lilulm Who Wouldn't Take
Mount- lie llHilu't Karusil.
Another distinguished son of fccokuk
is Mr. Irwin, who was guilty of an act
not many years ago which, if ho had
been tried for it by a jury of office
holders, would have consigned him to
a lunatic asylum for the rest of his life,
lb; awakened an unspeakable horror
throughout the entire land. It occurred
in this way: President Arthur ap
pointed him Governor of Idaho. He
went out th jre and took the oath of
otliec and remained awhile. Then busi
ness matters called him homo and de
tained him there for several months.
He found it inconvenient to go back to
Idaho, and finally resigned his office.
Hut that was not the worst of it. The
horrible p-irt of tho story remains to
ba told. When the checks for the sal
ary were sent him by United States
Treasurer Wyman ho returned them
to Washington with a note explain
ing that he hnd been absent from his
post and had not perform jd tho duties
of his ollieo, and ha could not con
scientiously accept any pay. The
officers of tho Treasury stood aghast
t such audacity. There was no pre
cedent for the act and t'uey did not
know what to do. They returned the
cheeks to Mr. Irwin, snying that in
the opinion of tho accounting officer he
was entitled to the salary of his posi
tion until his resignation was accepted.
Hut he was inexorable. Ho declined to
accept the liH.ney which amounted to
f 2,0:K) or more and asked that it be
turned into tho Treasury or used to
ward the payment of tho public debt.
Treasurer Wyman did not know what
to do with it, so he put it in the con
science fund. This called out a pro
test from Governor Irwin, who declined
to be classed with repentant thieves
and conscience-stricken swindlers, and
he suggested that a new fund bo started
to meet such cases as his own of con
tributions from officials who felt that
they were not entitled to their salaries.
Hut tho Treasury otilcials smiled at the
vedulousness of tho Governor of
Id iho. who seemed to think that his
example, might be imitated and they
were right. It never has been.
I asked Mr. Irwin about this little
nljair to-day, and he laid the entire
blame upon his mother. He said she was
with him when he received the cheeks
for his salary, and she said: "John, it
is l;ot honest for you to keep that
money, fur you have clone nothing to
earn it." And he snw that she v.a,
right. It was the o'.d story. A woman
tempted him aud he fell. The checiis

GREAT STEAMBOAT RACS.
Mora Thon a Million M In Hava 11,. i
KIhIkmI I'iioii th Knult.
The greatest steiun'mmt race that whi
ever run in the vmrld was that which
occurred in .lune, lH7ii, from Sew Or
leans to St. amU, between the llobert
K. Lee and the Xntchv. The latter win
built at ('iiuMiiuiti, was commanded by
('apt iln T. P. leathers, and In June of
the above year made tho fastest time on
record from New Orleans to St. Louis,
l.'-TS miles in three days. tenty-om
hours and fifty-eight minutes. Tho
Robert K. Leo was builtat New Albany
during the war and was towed acres?
the river to the Kentucky side to have
her name painted on her wheel houses,
n matter that was deemed prudent in
those exciting times. She was com
manded by Captain John W. Cannon,
who died ut Frankfort, Ky., in 18.H-'.
There was great rivalry between the
boats, and when tho Natchez, made her
great run Captain Cannon determined
to beat it. He stripped tins Lee for the
race removed all parts of her upper
w jrks which were calculated to catch
tho wind; removed nil rigging and out
tit that could be dispensed with te
lighten her; engaged tho steamer Frank
Pargond to precede her a hundred
miles up tho river to supply coal; ar
ranged with coal yards to have fuel
flats awaiting her in the middle of the
river at given points, to be taken in
tow under way until the coal could On
transferred to tho deck of the Lee, and
then to be cut loose and float back. 1 1 -s
refused all business of every kind, and
would receive no passengers. The
Natchez, returned to New Orleans and
received a few hundred tons of freight
and a few passengers, aud was adver
tised to leave for St. iouis on June SO.
In tho afternoon the Robert E. Lee
backed out from tho levee, and five
minutes lajer the Natchez followed
her. The whole country watched tho
race with breathless interest, as it had
been extensively advertised by tho
press, and the telegraph attended Its
progress along the river at every point.
At all the principal cities Natehea,
Vicksburg, Helena, and Memphis -people
for many miles were present to
see the racers pass, and the time of
passing was cabled to Europe. When
Cairo was reached the race was vir
tually ended, but the Jam proceeded to
St. Louis, arriving thnro in throe (lays,
eighteen hours and fourteen minutes
from tho time she left New Orleans,
beating by thirty-threo minutes tho
previous record of tho Piatehez,. lh)
latter steamer had run into a fog and
grounded between Memphis und Cairo,
which delayed her more than six
hours. It is said that 30,003 peoplo
crowded tho wharf, tho windows and
the housetops to welcome the Lee on
her arrival at St. Louis. Captain Can
non was tendered a banquet by tho
business men of tho city, and was gen
erally lionized while ho remained here.
It was estimated that more tlmn
"$1,000,000 changed hands on the result
of the grout race. Many of tho bets
were withdrawn, however, on tint
ground that tne i,eo nau oeeu ass.s.eu
tho first hundred miles of the trip by
the power of tho r rank Pargoud lidded
i li . i
to her own, and many steamboat men
have ever since regarded the Natchez,
as the fastest boat of the two, but think
she was outgeneraled in tho race by
the Lee. There was so much ad versa
comment afterward by the press that
there has boon no attempt since to re
peat such a performance. .S7. V.iwi-i

MAN'S TRUE CHARACTER.
In Most lintUnrrii It Is CbIIpiI Forth Ont.f
liy ir-:it KiurrKPIirip.
Greatemergeticies call forth the great
soul. War in tho twinkling of an cyo
turns village drunkards and pettifog
ging lawyei into Generals and states
men. Love transforms Cymon from a
brute into a man. Necessity makes
Shakespeare a dramatist; accident re
veuls Scott his true powers. Tho most
coiiimonplaco men und women have
passed through tho fool's paradise of
love, when they 'were divine being
worshiping divinity, and in that fool's
paradise they for a brief moment found
their true selves, saw deep into thj
soul of their consort. That flitting
dream was in truth an awakening. Die
brief opening of the spiritual eye.
When the world of facts has passed
away, our dreams may remain. .The
man of common sense asks for realities,
the poet knows that only illusions u"o
true. Look you, tho man whom you
hate are there not women who worslii;)
him. children who look up to him?
Who sees the true man you who hato
him. or they who love him? Love is a
divine delight; It reaches out over and
iroiind its object into thu illimitable;
it is a part of the over-soul of tho in
iiiiite. of G )d. Hatred is painful. It
strains and racks the body, it blimli
tiie vision, it makes man conscious of
his mortal limitations. "Love sees the
virtues that are of the soul; hatred
onlv the diseases of tho skin." "All
mo:i have their faults, and stealing was
ll.il's," said a weeping widow over tho
corpse or a desperado shot in attempted
burglary. And grote-que, ludicrous
.is the "expression may seem, she was
right. She knew that not in the roli
ber, the law-breaker, the outcast, did
the 'real man shine forth, but in tho-e
rarer moods of kindliness and gener
osity when lie was the true friend and
husband. Perhaps when two enemies,
who have refund to see any g'K)d in
each other on this earth, meet here
after in another world free from the
muddv vesture of decay which clog
their vision here, the first thought of
. ach will be: "is this tho beautiful
-oil that I maligned and hated?"

The old question of the desirability

Hoard of Kleetrical Control in New
York. It was for tho purpose of de
termining whether, as has been alleged
the alternating electrical currents used
in Incandescent lighting are m ire dan
gerous and deadly than continuous
currents of even greater power.
A large dog was placed on the dem
onstrator's table, so that a current of
electricity could besont through the an
imal ut a graduated yivssure. The exhi
bition began with a current of IliW volts,
cut off Instantaneously, but the shock
caused the dog to leap into the air with
a loud yelp. Tho tension was then in
creased to 4')0 volts, and for ten seconds
tho dog howled and struggled convul
sively. I lie next raise was to u'.i volts, gUlfly :
aud the agony of the animal was In- "H must, of course, be highly gratl

was sent through him. So furious ; Dorted sizes and colors, and other use-
were his bounds and strains that tho
united rope and wire seemed t.m weak
to hold him, and another wire was
therefore wound about his neck and he
was strapped fast by leather bands to
the cage. Then all was made ready
lor another test, it being noted that i
"hisnatur.il powr of resistance hud ,
fallen to .'LoOO ohms."

A merciful Providence Is metaphor
ically said to have made the lick of
the domestic cat exceedingly broad, in
exquisite adaptation to the moral load
which that anatomical structure has to
curry. We all know that most tires are
due to cats. Cuts nre culpably careless
In the use of mutches. Even Messrs.
Hryant and May have scarcely been
ablo by their Ingenious invention to
jorreet the Influences of feline rash
ness. It is fur toocommon a thing for a
cut. after light lug a cigar, to throw a
wax vesta or a deadly fusee upon the
carpet or the bare boards. These ani
mals will leave candles in Immediate
proximity to curtains, and forget all
about them in an exciting chase nft'T
mice that havo as much right to live as
themselves.
A cat has been known to turn on the
gas. and then, hearing a scratching be
hind the wainscot, to become absorbed
fur half an hour before applying the
llaiue, with consequences which can be
imagined, and, therefore. If Henry
James will pardon us for saying so,
need not be described. Cats, too, are
addicted to the pernicious practice of
smoking in bed, especially Persian cats.
who can not otherwise perform their
illotled tusk of read lug through the
'Arabian Nights" twice a year. Now,
is it Is notorious that no cat will en
lure a cover to his pipe, we need not
point out tho great dangers wo are In
by this unhappy levity. Hut there Is
really no end to the responsibility of
cats, who are without any sense of
shame, and appear to bo most Imper
fectly acquainted with the laws which
govern the Ignition of Inflammable
oo lies.
How many fires they cause in Lon
Jon from January to Oecember, Cai
Uln Shaw alone knows. It Is only
necessary to mention their too familiar
habit of saving themselves trouble by
.arrying hot coals In a shovel from
me room to anothor, for on this ooea
iion wo may avoid the painful topic of
the frauds which they too often per
petrate at the expense of tho lu
uininee companies. When all these
things are taken Into consideration we
need not wonder, however deeply wo
nay be grieved, at the number of tires
whose origin is assigned in official re
ports to tho agency of those noxious
ind iibiiiultous (iiiudrupeds. tuts are
i powerful interest, and In tho prevail
ing llubblness of public opinion, few
havo the moral courago to sponk the
truth about them.
Excellent is the spirit of Dr. Low,
n olllcer of tho Local Governinont
Hoard, who merits the respect and
gratitude of tho whole community for
haviii-' broiiL'ht out tho facts about
ats without flinching. No cat, after
the publication of Dr. Low's memor-
nudum, can shelter himself behind tho
miserable plea of ignorance from the
duly of at once answering the charge
that whatever may lie his recreations
mid amusements, Ills serious business
hi life Is the spread of diphtheria.
It is the more courageous In Dr.
Iaw to state this because certain
Irish-American cats lire more than
suspected of having attempted to
blow up the premises of tho Local
Government Hoard with dynamite
about live years ago. Undeterred
by these lucid memories, Dr. Low
.barges Into the ranks of our feline
yrauts with desperate determination.
He accuses them, not by Insinuation or
liiueudo, but in plain and unmistake
blo terms, of having caused an epi
demic of diphtheria ut Ealing. The
method in which this detestable plot
was carried out Is truly diabolical.
A number of associated cats, whom
Dr. Low, for obvious reasons, uWnlns
from naming, conspired to cut the
remnants of the food, and drink tho re
mainder of the milk, which had been
served to diphtheritic patients. Thus
primed for their horrlblo work they
nelecled a number of healthy children,
with whom they began to play. Hie
children were particularly attentive to
tho cats, because tho cats appeared to
ihi unwell. Such Is the lot of children,
who never teuse animals, though ani
mals are constantly tensing them. We
Iraw a veil over the sequel, merely re
marking that Dr. Low, as becomes his
high position, has no doubt that tho
rhildron were infected in this precise
way. The germs of infection are, it is
lobe feared, everywhere, and life would
become impossible if we were always
ipeciilating on the chances of coming
within the grasp of disease. Mean
while it is desirable that criminal cats
should be brought to justice, and that
contaminated articles edible, potable
r otherwise should bo destroyed.
