NEVER TALK BACK.
J. TV. Riley.
Never talk back! such things is reprebensi
i lle;
A fellow only corks hisse'f that jaws a man
that's hot;
In a quarrel, ef you'll only keep your mouth
. ' sbet and he sensible,
every shot.
Never talk back to a feller that's abusiu'
.you
Jest let him carry on, and rip and cuss and
swear;
And when he finds his lyin' and his damnin's
jest amusin' you,
You've got him clean kerflunimixed, and
you want to hold him there 1
Never talk back, and wake up the whole
commuuity.
And call a mau a liar, howsomever that's
his fix;

MAKING COLD LEAF.
TIic AVouderful Tb Illness of Sheets of
Hammered Gold.
Cincinnati News-Journal '
"Any man in this shop," said the
gold-beater, "cau beat a gold dollar into
10 J squares of four inches each. That
would make 400 sinare inches, or
thirty-three and ono-thitd square feet.
To put the matter so that it may be
comprehended by any one, we may say
that two rooms, each sixteen and one
third feet square, may be carpeted with
u flawless sheet of gold beaten from one
single dollar. Rather a thin carpet ?
Well, ves, rather. It has been
estimated that 1280,000 sheets of gold
leaf go to make an inch. Two hundred
sheets of uncommonly thin writing
paper will make the same thickness,
which shows us that it will require
1,400 sheets of gold leaf, placed one on
the other, to make a sheet as thick as
thin paper.
"I buy the gold in the shape of
grains and melt it in my own crncibles
and furnace, right here in this room.
The molten metal is poured into molds,
which shape it into bars about an
in.-h wide and six or seven inches long.
Here is a bar that I made this morning.
It is worth $400."
The bar was irregular in shape, and
of a blurred and dingy color. It would
have been scorned by a ragpicker if
discovered among the rubbish on the
city dump.
I hesj bars we run through rolls a
number of times until they are as thin
as ordinary paper, when they are cut
up into pieces an inch square, and
handed over to the beaters to be aten
by hand into their proper thickness.
Two hundred and fifty sheets are
beaten at one time. The sheets are
placed in what is known as a mold,
which is simply 250 sheets of parch
ment, inclosed in an outer wrapper.
The gold and the parchment are inter
leaved, the whole forming a bundle one
inch thick by four inches s juare. This
bundle is then placed on the beater's
slab, which must have a solid founda
tion extending some feet into the
ground, and the whole is beaten with a
heavy iron hammer. The hammers
range in weight from four to sixteen
pounds. When the first beating is
complete the original inch squares
have become four inch squares. They
are now taken from the mold and each
sheet is cut into four pieces, to undergo
exactly thesame process as at first.
This is continued until the leaf is as
thin as wo mav safelv make it."
George IV. Cable in Sunday-School.
LSpringfi.-M (Mas.) Republican.
The New Orleans novelist can make
a good Sunday-school address as well
as write clever stories and crack April
fool jokes. Accompanied by Iloswell
Smith, of The Century Magazine, he
attended the Congregational church,
and was invited to talk t the Sunday
school in the afternoon. Mr. Cable's
fondness for children is proverbial, and
he accepted. In the course of his re
marks he raised his hand, expanded the
digits, and said : "I have so many chil
dren at home. How many is that?"
"fivj," piped up a youngster promptly.
"And half of them are girls," continued
the speaker, staggering his audience
with his apparently reckless disregard
of the truth. "How much is half of
five?" asked Mr. Cable. "Two and a
half," reproachfully replied a little
miss in the front pew. "Yes," said the
novelist with a benignant smile a? he
taw that his reputation for veracity was
fast slipping away, "two and a half of
them are girls, and the other two and a
half, too five girls." "O," gasped the
little mis? .with a look of relief ; and
then a ripple of laughter bubbled up
from the corner where the "bird's-nest"
class sat, floated over the backs of the
pews, climbed into the gallery and died
awy in the organ loft.
How V. S. Gilbert Write Play v.
Pall Mall Gazette.
I fiud it ditlicalt to answer your q-iestiou,
becau.se there are many ways of setting t
work to excogitate a p!ot, ami I have tried
them all at various times. If I am writing
to exploit a certain actor, my first considera
tion is how the character which ha L to play
in such a variety of dramatic lights will ena
ble him to exhibit himself to the best ad
vantage, if I have a distinct dc ctrine to
urge upon the audience, the principal ques
tion to consider is the special constellation of
characters which will Lest exploit my pur
pose. In dealing with the libretto of a comic
pera the librettist is sadly hamj ered by the
vocal r quirements of the piece, and also
by the fact that in many cases bis characters
will surely be repre.-ented by actors who sing
indifferently, or by singers who have had but
little experience as actors. The only rule
that appears to me to be of general applica
tion is this: Always construct your last act
first. In other words never omiuit yourself
to a course of action until ycu see your way
clearly and with good dramatic ef"ect out of
ever difficulty it may involve.
low liawjer Lincoln Nettled It .
Boston Globe.
A farmer once said to lie v. Dr. Miner,
once a clerpyman in Springfield, Ills.:
"Do you know why it is that I, who
have been a Democrat all my life, am
going to vote for Mr. Lincoln ? I will
tell you. I once got into difficulty with
a neighbor about the line of our farms.
I went to Mr. Lincoln to secure him.
Lincoln said, 'Now, if you go on
with thi3, it will cost both of you your
farms, and will entail an enmity that
will last for generations, and perhaps
lead to murder. The other man has
just been here to engage me. Now I
want you two to sit down in my office
while I am gone to dinner, and talk it
oyer and try to settle it. And to secure
you from interruption, I will lock th

finding ourselves shut up together, be

turned the matter was settled."

THE TERRIBLE ABATTIS.
Work Which SOO ITIen Cau Hold
Against 5,000
M. Quad's Letter.
Let a regiment move out of the
shelter of a piece of oodi to charge a
breastwork defended by infantry an i
artillery, and one man out of every ten
will be killed or wounded by shell or
round-shot while the lines are forming.
Within one minute from the time the
nearest man comes within range of the
musketry and grape forty men will
drop. During the rush at least twenty
more will go down, and as the troops
reach the works they vill meet with
such a fire as will break up all
organization. One time in forty the
works will be carried. Thirty-nine
times out of forty t!ie attacking troops
are driven back with a loss of from 200
to 450 men.
Take that same breastwork, having
a head-log to fire under, and ran an
abattis along its front and it is nothing
short of murder to send men against
it. Let the abattis be simply a w.nrow
of small trees and brush, and no column
can pass it without a halt. Men must
lay down their muskets and drag at the
obstruction and the broken lines must
be reformed, and that within thirty feet
of the muskets having a dead rest. Ala'te
the abattis of sharpened stakes, with
their butt ends driven deep into the
earth and the center firmly fastened to
a rail running parallel with the work,
and 500 men behind the works can hold
them against 5,000. Let telegraph
wires be strung from tree to tree or post
to post, as was sometimes done, and
unless the attacking party bring axes
their dead will be piled up three feet
deep all aloDg the wire fences.
At Spottsvlvania there was a slash
ing in frout of that point on Lee's lines
called the Horseshoe. The butts of the
fallen trees were toward the works
their sharpened limbs towards Grant.
Confederates stationed in this Horse
shoe killed an average of ten Federals
each. An abattis near Lost Mountain,
during Sherman's Georgia campaign,
aided a for.e of COO Confederates to de
feat a movement made by a Federal
force of 4,400 men. At Fredericksburg
the stone walls were an abattis and
could not be passed. At Gettysburg
Hancock's position was niade impreg
nable by such walls. At second Bull
Kun every position on either side cov
ered by walls or fences was held to the
last. A 'creek five feet wide and six
inches deep would not stop the wander
ings of a child, but it has more than
once halted a division and held it under
such a fire that whole companies were
wiped out.
Wood as Food.
Popular Science Monthly.
Certain animals have a remarkable
power of digesting ligneous t ssue.
The beaver is an example of this. The
whole of its stomach, and more especi
ally that secondary stomach, the
ciccum, is often found crammed or
plugged with fragments of wood and
bark. I have opened the crops of sev
eral Norwegian ptarmigans, and found
them filled with no other food than the
needles of pines, upon which they
evidently feed during the winter. The
birds, when cooked, were scarcely eat
able on account of the strong resinous
flavor of their flesh.
I may here, by the way, correct the
commonly accepted version of a popu
lar story. We are told that when
Marie Antoinette was informed of a
famine in the neighborhood of the
Tyrol, and of the starving of some of
the peasants there, she replied: "1
would rather eat pie-crust" (some of
the story-teller i t&j "pastry"; "than
starve." Thereupon the courtiers
giggled at the ignorance of the pam
pered princess who supposed that
starving peasants had such an alterna
tive food as pastry. The ignorance,
however, was all on the side of the
courtiers and tho e who repeat the
story in its ordinary form. The prin
cess was the only person in the c ourt
rho really understood the habits of
the peasants of the particular district
in question. They cook their meat,
chiefly young veal, by rolling it in a
kind of dough made of sawdust, mixed
with as little coarse flour as will hold
it together ; then place this in an oven
or in wood embers until the dough is
hardened to a tough crust, and the
meat raised throughout to the cooking
point. Marie Antoinette said that she
would rather eat croutins.than starve,
knowing that these croutins, or meat
pie-crusts, were given to the pigs ; that
the .pig digested them, and were
nourished by them in spite of the wcod
saw-dust.
Edition's Prophecy of Ballooning
New York Express.
"But about the balloon ?"
"Well, having lightness with power,
we should" not need enough balloon for
actual If ting power and we could at
tain a very high velocity. You could
hold a ten-horse power motor out in
your hand, and, once in the air, with
five pounds of coal, could the consump
tion be made direct, the little jigger
could go anywhere. Nobcdy would
want to ascend to great heights where
the a'r's resistance to the propeller
would decrease, but skim along over
the trees and houses like a bird above
the water. The rudders could all be
worked, and your ballast less balloon
could be raised or lowered, turned to
the right or left, by the motor itself,
and a boy could do all the work. Such
an arrangement would scarcely do for
heavy freight, but it could carry pas
sengers, and mail matter, and express
parcels, and move readily at eighty to
100 miles an hour. If we can solve tho
power question we can do anything."
Mother Eve's Tomb,
New York Sun.
Situated in the desert, about a
quarter of a mile from the western gate
f the City of .Teddah, is an object of
interest to Christian ai d Mussulman
alike the grave of Lve, or as she is
callel in Arabic, "Sittna Hawwa," the
mother of mankind. It is difficult to
trace the origin of the legend that allots
to Eve this desert tomb as her last resting-place,
and it is doubtful whether it
is of any great antiquity. However
th's may be, the tomb is regarded with
great veneration by the numerous pil
grims who visit Jeddah, and few f:::'l to
worship at. the shrine.
Origin of the Term.
Inter Ocean.
It is generally supposed that tho term
"dark horse" is of American origin.
But Thackeray used it. in his "Adven
tures of Fhilip," before it became cur
rent in this country, and in exactly the
sense that we employ it. "Well, bio. b
my soul," l hilip is made to ay, re
ferring to some mysterious talk, about
a candidate for the house of commons,
"he can't wean me. Who is the dark
hoi-.-e he has in his stable?"

Promise everybody everything they
ask for. It is so much easier to prom
ise a man what he wants than it is to
refuse him and have him torment you
with importunities and pester you for
reasons. Then, when the day for tho
fulfillment of the promise come3 to
hand, renew the promise. Take up one
note by giving another. In the Blang
of the infidel, stand him off for another
term, and tell ' him that when you go
back again then" you will do all these
things for him ? And if it be so that
you do not go back, how can you do
anything for him? And if you do go
back, say to him that you will not buy
your place of any man. What dirt is
this he throws u on the beard of a re

there are hardly enough places for

In your official career ever practice a
rigid economy in all departments and
disbursements out of your own immedi

for chewing gum for the orphans'

solace their infantile but juvenile jaws

cut from the heels of their rubber over
shoes. The money thus saved to the

purpose of giving yourself a railroad
excursion with all the appurtenances
thereunto appertaining.
Talk a great deal, but never say any

for he hath an evil eye, and the point

it is the love of his heart to impale on
his venomous quill the honest states

Beform is ever a good thing before
election. The thrill of the li in pro
nouncing it is most readily acquired by
closing the left eye at the moment of
uttering the word. This also adds
great emphasis, and deeply intensifies
the meaning of the word, which is a
Latin compound of res, a thing, and
formale, to form ; that is, to form and
shape things, to fix things. See? You
don't? Then you are no trueieformer

The Photographer' Skill.
Cincinnati Enquirer Interview.
"Aside from the mental impression
upon the sitter, in what manner is the
sphere of the artist exercised or ap
plied?" Before answering, Mr. Fiockwood
placed himself in a sharp, severe light.
"Now," said he, "you see I appear ten
years older than 1 am ; but as I go from
place to place under the sky-iight and
adjust the light, I grow apparently
younger, until now" (placing himself in
a soft flood of light) "I appear younger
than my real age. To answer
your quetion directly, then, the
artistic effort is applied to develop
all there is comely in face and figure
and conceal or prevent any exaggera
tion of defects ; to make, so far as possi
ble, every form a line of beauty and of
graca This is accomplished, as I have
intimated, by the careiul disposition of
the figure, the lines of the drapery and
a consideration of the action desirable
to indicate the nction; with a quiet,
passive temperament, too much action
would give a dramatic or stagy effect,
while a certain repose should be sought
even with the most active, nervous
temperaments. Startling, dramatic
poses in the quiet, stately mother of a
family not only fail to be characteristic,
but sacrifice the retirement of the mod
est subject before the camera.
"The arrangement of light is also an
important factor. By its judicious man
agement a lean man can be made to ap
pear more robust, and our jolly fat
friend brought to assume more comely
proportions. Sir Thomas Lawrence
used to paint his subjects as they ought
to be. The same power in a degree we
have in the arrangement of light, the
disposition of the lines and the position
and proper elevation of the camera.
One of the most satisfactory results
lately. was in photographing a stout
lady, whom I made to appear tall, grace
ful and slender."
The Great Astor Library.
New York Cor. Chicago Journal
The thiee generations of Astors are
each represented in the great Astor
library in this city. The first founded
the library and erected a noble building
for it; the second duplicated the gift in
books and another similar structure
alongside, and the present generation
has added more bo;ks and aaother
great building, so that now the library
and aggregated structures are well
worth the journey of Dom Pedro, of
Brazil, to this country, as he delared
while here, for the main purpose of
seeing this collection of books.
The Astor library is no place for en
tertainment, having no light reading
except in rare books and being a ref
erence library only, leaving the other
field to the circulating libraries of .the
country; but in it are all the obtain
able books of reference in every branch
of learning, besides the rarest volumes
of lore to be found in the world. It
was my privilege to be shown through
its corridors one day this week, and I
must say that I think more of the
Asters and my native country from
what my yes were permitted to
see. Among its treasures are volumes
costing over $1,500 apiece, the first
Homer, the first fchakespeare, valuable
ancient manuscripts, etc. Every lover
of books and student should see this
rich spot on our soil, which, like the
soil, is free to all who choose to reap its
benefits.

Iodide of Potassium is one of the strongest of the
minerals use in medic ii.e. and has produced much suf
fering in the world. Taken for a lou time and in large
doses, it dries up the gastric juices, impairs digestion,
the stomach refuses food, and the patient dsclmes m
health and weight. Persons with Hood or Skin Dis
eases should be s artful how they take these a tneral
poisons, as in most instances the effect of them is te al
most permanently impair the constitution. To take the
place of these poisons we offer you a safe, sure, prompt,
and permanent relief from your trouhles. Swift bps
