Prom times ho far bauk that the mem
ory of man runneth not to the contrary,
it has been the custom on the 14lh of
February for folks to send the darlings
of their choice a tender missive declar
ing the stato of their hearts in delicate
phrase, and there is something so pretty
about the custom that it is deservedly
perpetuated. In these days of progress
the valentines are really works of art. of
costly material and elegant finish, tho
finer'kinds are well worthy of receipt
and in their production the engraver and
designer puts the choicest efforts of his
skill. Tho tendency to ridicule and car
icature has unfortunately produced a lot
of cheap daubs that are at best anony
mous insults, so that the sneak who
hasn't the courage to say to people's
faces the cowardly promptings of his low
nature makes use'of the custom of the
day to send under cover of an envelope a
vile production calculated to hurt the
feelings of tho recipient. In this waj
people's religion, ideas pursuits, home
ties, all that they hold dear are subjected
to a mean espionage and tho true intent
and purjwse of the day is perverted and
made to run gall instead of the milk of
human kindness.
Yet despite this uupleasaut feature of
Cupid's holiday, tho day is always one
of pleasant associations "to millions of
pure-minded, free-hearted ftien and wom
en who send and receive evidences of
love and friendship and who lay away
the scented envelopes with their pretty
contents as souvenirs of remembrance
to form grateful memories iu tho 3'oars
to come.
CHIXA NEW TEAKS.
According to Chinese chronology this
is the first dnj of the New Year, and from
the coolie to the mandarin they all hold
high jinks to-day. Their joss is dressed in
unusual splendor, punk and slender sticks
of spice are burned, gilt paper is pro-"
f usely pasted up, red tissue paper is cut
and burned in great quantities, and roast
pork and chicken is on every Chinese
table. The white and vellow lilies that
gladden their hearts with plenteous blos
soms are everywhere visible, the belief
being that tho better they bloom before
New Year's day the more prosperous the
ensuing twelve moons will be.
No Chinese New Year's is complete
without noise and the beating of the torn
torn and the fusilade of tho festive fire
cracker is as much a part of the day as
auy feature of tho performance. The
Chinese have been trying during the week
to get Ma3'or Hume to allow them the
privilege of firing off their fire crackers,
as the picnic is no picnic without those
noisy accompaniments.

Alfred Yeuke, in South Portland, on
January C, 18tv4. was hanged in the coun

in the hope that Governor Moody would

A scene was enacted in the house to
day which was not looked for.. House bill
No. 79, to provide for redistricting the
state for legislative and judicial purpos
es came up. Mr. Downing objected to
the bill on the ground that it was not con
stitutional, and moved its indefinite post
ponement. Mr. Chandler demanded en
enforcement of tho rule prohibiting de
bate. Mr. Leinenweber asked as a favor
that he be heard on the bill; that it was
of importance to Clatsop ceunty: that
the county had not the representation in
the legislature to which it was justly on
titled. Tho motion to indefinitely post
Eone was adopted. Upon this, which Mr.
eineuweber considered an insult, he
gave notice that "Clatsop county would
resist further taxation, and that ho
would resign his seat in the house. Ho
displayed some fooling as was natural
for one who would bo deprived of a com
mon courtesy. His announcement cre
ated great excitement and hubbub in the
house, and friends crowded around him
and urged him to reconsider his action,
He explained that Clatsop county was
allowed only one joint representative,
while other counties with the same popu
lation had three or four. Clatsop only
asked for two full representatives, and if
he had been allowed a moment he could
have made it plain to the house. Stand

fifteen men went out to the residence of
State Senator Brown, Republican, who is
very ill, and carried him into Graysville,
a distance of six or seven miles, on a
stretcher. He will remain, in Graysville
to-night, and to morrow morning will
leave for Springfield, in a special car. He
is very weak, but his friends think he

the election of United States senator may

are one in the minority on joint ballot.

"he was so cross that when he called

using Brown's Iron Bitters. Mr. J.

Hon. F. C. Reed represents the threa

endeavoring to get a bill through for re-
districting the state, feeling that his dis

the bill failed, it was apparently owing
to the fact of the census having been
taken so long ago as to preclude the pos

HOW RUBBEK BOOTS AXD SHOES ARE
MADE.
Did'you eTer see any crude rubber, and
have you any idea how it is gathered
and worked? There are twenty or thirty
varieties of crude rubber, varying great
ly in quality, and of all these the best is
known as Para, a South American
product, obtained in Brazil, about 1,800
miles above the mouth of the Amazon.
It is called Para from the city of that
name from which it is shiped to foreign
parts. The gum i gathered by tapping
the rubber trees, as wo tap maplo trees
for sap for maple sugar. The sap is
gathered into a large pot into which the
native dips a flat wooden paddle, to
which sum adheres. He withdraws the
paddle and holds it in a smoke made by
burning palm nuts, whichrflries and cures
the film of rubber ;on tho paddle. He
then dips again, and smokes again, re
peating the process until he has on the
paddle a bunch of gum weighing several
pounds. Then he splits the ball or roll to
get the paddle out and it is ready for
market.
These natives are not models of hones
ty, however, as these chunks of gam fre
quently contain palm nuts, rubber nuts,
uelces of iron, or are freely mixed with
sand to add weight, which often causes
the manufacturer great trouble, l ue
Enblic, or a large share of the public,
ave an idea that crude rubber gum
comes something like tamarac, and that
it is melted and cast into whatever form
is desired, but this is not true. A rubber
shoe factory is not a foundry; It comes
nearer being a printing office.
These chunks of rubber are sliced into
steaks, you might say, by sharp knives
revolving rapidly and kept constantly
wetted. When one of these knives
strikes an iron spike, there is apt to be
'music in the air." The operators are
on the lookout, however, and accidents
are so thoroughly guarded against that
they are very rare. These steaks are
then put into a chopping machine, whero
they are made into an article closely re
sembling boarding house hash, only that
thin hash j3 the straight goods, oxcept
that it needs cleaning. The small pieces
thus formed are thon put through a ma
chine which makes mince meat of them,
and at tho same time washes out all the
dirt and Band. This (not tho dirt and
sand) is now shoveled into a rolling ma
chine which compresses the mass into
rough sheets. This is tho first process.
These sheets are then taken to a steam
drying room, where they remain three
months to free thorn from all mois
ture. Bv tho drviuc process they loso from
15 to 30 per cent, of their weight. If tho
least moisture remains m the rubber
when made up into shoes, the heat of
vulcanization causes its expansion, and
consequently causes blisters in the stock.
The dry gum is then run between heavy
iron rolls, heated by steam, and called
grinders, by which it is softened to per
mit the admixture of the vulcanizing
material.
Rubber in its natural 6tate is unfit for
use, and Goodyear's process of vulcani
zation by the aid of sulphur is necessary
to utilize it. This mixing is done by
running the ground rubber through still
another series of rollers, which pres3 tho
rubber and sulphur together in ono soft,
fine body, whichjis finally run through a
calendar, between great steel cylinders;
the mass is pressed out into long smooth
sheets of any desired width or thickness.
Thea comes tho printing process. Those
sheets are fed through cylinders on the
face of which is engraved the pattern for
sole, heel and upper desired to be pro
duced, and these impressions aro as
clearly printed on the rubber as this
type impression is on this paper.
Thon tho sheets go to the cutters, who
cut out the different parts and send them
to their respective departments. The
lasting is done similarly to that of other
ahoes, except that the parts are all put
to-gether by rubber cement, and, before
removal from tho last, they aro placed
in the vulcanizing ovens, where they are
subjected to a degree of heat that trans
forms the various parts into a homoge
neous moss in the shape of a boot or
shoe with a seam, nail, or peg. Then, if
a dull finish is desired, tho bast is re
moved, and the goods are ready for mar
ket. Otherwise they are varnished to
give the bright finish, and dried, when
they are ready.

THE TIP OF THE TOXGCE.
The Truest Teit for Polioa Transmitted from
Savage Bice.
When we want to secure ourselves by
means of taste about any unknown ob
jectsay a lump of some white stuff,
which may be crystal or glass or alum or
borax or quartz or rock salt we pat the
tip of the tongue against it gingerly. If
it begins to burn us we draw it away
more or less rapidly, with an accompani
ment in language strictly dependent up
on personal habits and manners.
The test we thus occasionally apply,
even in the civilized adult htare, to un
known bodies is ono that is being applied
every day and all dav long by children
and savages. Unsophisticated humanity
is constantly putting everything it sees
up to its mouth in a frank spirit of ex
perimental inquiry as to its gustatory
properties. In civilized life we find ev
erything ready labeled and assorted for
us; we comparatively seldom require to
roll the contents of u suspicious bottle
(in very small quantities; doubtfully
upon the tongue in order to discover
whether it is pale sherry or Chili vinegar,
Dublin stout or mushroom catsup. But
in the savage state, from which, geologi
cally and biologically speaking, we have
only just emerged, bottles and labels do
not exist.
Primitive man, in his sweet simplicity,
has only two modes open before him for
deciding whether the the things he finds
are or are not strictly edible. The first
thing he does is to sniff at them, and
smell being, as Mr. Herbert Spencer has
well put it, au anticipatory taste, gener
ally gives him some idea of what the
thing is likely to prove. The second
thing he does is to pop it into his mouth,
and proceed practically to examine its
further characteristics. Strictly speak
ing, with the tip of tho tongue one can't
really taste at all. If you put a drop of
hdney or of oil of bitter almonds on that
S art of the mouth, you will find (no
oubt to your surprise) that it produces
no effect of any sort; you only taste it
when it begins slowly to diffusa itself,
and reaches the true tasting region in
the middle distance.
But if you pnt a little cayenne or mus
tard on the same part you will find that
it bites you immediately the experiment
should bo tried sparingly while if you
put it lower down in the mouth you
swallow it almost without noticing "the
pungency of the stimulant. Tho reason
is that the tip of the tongue is supplied
only with nerves, which are really norves
of the touch, not nerves of taste preper:
they belong to a totally different main
branch, and they go to a different center
in tho brain, together with the very sim
ilar threads which supply the nerves of
smell for mustard and pepper. This is
why the smell and taste of these pungent
substances are so much alike, as every
body must havo noticed, a good sniff at
a mustard pot producing almost tho
same irritating effect as an incautious
mouthful. As a rule, we don't accurate
ly distinguish, it is true, between these
different regions of taste in tho mouth
in ordinary life; but that is because we
usually roll our food about instinctively,
without paying much attention to the
particular p'art affected by it. Ex.

General Breckenbury telegraphs to

11, a translation of the Arabic document
found near the camp deserted by tho

vate soldier, in a donkey's saddle, about
400 yards beyond the captured position
It is from tho governor of Berber to his
faithful followers. The document begins
"In the name of God," etc, and con
tinne.?: "To-day, after mid-day prayer, I
received a letter from the faithful khalifa,
