NOTES AND GLEANINGS.

Papebmaxing is now the fifth in the list of Amerloan industries. It is used In many arts and for seores of purposes. A mtbthbious ringing of eleotio bells tn a Swiss house was traoed to a large spider, which had one foot on the bell wire and another on an eleotrlc light wire. A modification of the drawing compasses, oalled the spirograph, has been devised by a French mechanician, for oulokly and accurately drawing ourves ahd spirals of any desired size. Glass with a wire oore is a new material made in Dresden, the glass being fused to the wire while in a plastio state. The adhesion is said to remain perfeot under severe fluctuation of temperature. A mbdioaij discovery reported from Edinburgh is that severe inflammation of the brain, due to blows on the head, oan be oured by lubricating all the internal membranes of the nose with glyoerlne. This gives relief to the brain by oausing the water to descend by the nose and throat. J. C. Stewart, the well-known cornmedian, owns an island in the mouth of Ohesapeake Bay, on whioh there is clay that would turn out pure aluminum at sixteen cents a pound. The oiay has been examined by a Philadelphia chemist, and at the end of the season a company is to be organized to manufacture the metaL A new gunboat of the Swedish navy has the combined qualities of Vae breaker, tugboat, fire engine, water distiller, torpedo repairing ship, and man-of-war. Bhe is one hundred and twenty feet long and twenty-one feet wide, iB equipped with four Nordenfelt guns and torpedoes, and has engines of one hundred and fifty horse power, giving a speed of twelve and three-fourth knots. White lead is poisonous to most people; but there are examples of individuals who are unaffected by it. John Jarvis worked for over fifty years in the well known white lead establishment of Wetherlll & Brother, Philadelphia, and always enjoyed good health. He lately died of old age. Thomas MoCann was another example. He worked over fiftyfive years In the same conoern.

FEMININITIES.

You oan still find a man nowand then who Is expecting to get to heaven on his wife’s ohuroh membership. Out of the 240,000 domestic servants In London it is estimated that 10,000 are alwayk out of employment Mbs. Jones —“ Don’t trouble to see me to the door, Mrs. Smith.” Mrs. Smith—“No trouble; quite a pleasure, I assure you." Some of the people who are the most anxious about the recognition of friends In heaven are the ones who shake hands with two fingers in church. “How different you soldiers are from Us!" said Arabella to the Captain; “with us a oonquest only begins, while with you it ends the engagement.” Neveb pronounce anyone to be a willful niggard until you have seen the • contents of their purse. The distribution should be in accordance with the receipts. Hobbs —“ There goes a man who has buried fifteen wives.” Mrs. Hobbs—- “ For heaven’s sake! what is he? A second Bluebeard?” Hobbs—“ No—an undertaker. ” Vert few people go into an argument In order to disoover the truth of the matter. They want to hold their own and rout the enemy. Henoe the general loss of temper. Young Wife —“ Before we were married, George, you never smoked in my firesence." Young Husband—“l know t, my dear, and you never wore curlpapers in mine.” We have noticed that when you tell a woman that her daughter is just the Image of her when she was that age, the mother looks pleased and the daughter looks scared. A Chicago young woman was once heard to observe that that girl must indeed be a strange kind of a girl who could say conscientiously that she did not like a fuzzy mustache.

HOW FAMOUS RULERS DIED.

Henry 11. of Leon / died of poison having been Introduced into his wine by his confessor. Hbnby V. of England died suddenly, in convulsions, supposed to have been caused by poison. Edwabd Vl. died of consumption, caused by overstudy and confinement to ill-ventilated rooms. Geoboe 11. died suddenly from some mysterious ailment termed at the time “rupture of the heart." Mahomet 111. strangled all his brothers, drowned his father’s wives, and was himself poisoned. Cleopatra died by her own act, preferring death to survival as a captive in the train of Augustus. Otho killed himself after a reign of ninety-five days to avoid falling into the hands of his enemies. Mtjbad V. was deposed, and according to some reports was murdered; to others is still in prison. Alexander Sevebus was slain in his tent by his guards at the instigation of Maximin, his successor. Nicholas of Russia died of mortification at the failure of his military system during the Crimean war. Louis VIL, sumamed the Lion, was poisoned during an unsuccessful campaign by one of his officers. The Emperor Charles V. died of overeating while in retirement at the Monastery of St. Just in Spain. Edwabd V. was smothered in the Tower of London, by command of his unole, afterwards Richard 111. Edwabd 11. was murdered, in a shamelessly indecent manner, by ruffians employed by hfe faithless wife,

Quick Moving of Troops.

The manager of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has lately replied to an inquiry sent by Secretary Elkins to the rail roads of the country regarding their ability to move military troops quickly in oa*e of need. The four trunk lines, he says, can move from the interior to the coast, taking the main distance at 1,000 miles, 350,000 troops in thirty hours, together with their necessary equipments, horses and supplies. At the same time, he say§, these roads oan move enough commercial supplies so as not to affect the general business of the

UNCLE SAM NOT ASLEEP.

He Lends Military-UlJiJen Europe in the 51 ieular-tnre of Kxploaivee. While the United States Government holds alouf fr iu foreign contentions au. I marches steadily onward on the road o. prosperity, wiihout a thought of b,&nd:ng armies, it is interesting to note that it is alive to preparations for defense in time of war, and has modest.y folio od out that idea to complete succe j in a least ono particular. The European powers have been far ahead of tii in tue manufacture of gunpowder ant! gun cotun, particularly of smokeicss poweie , which iu warfare i romises to be of great utility on aoeount of its . u abd.ty, lightness and power. But they will le much surprised to learn that i. ncle Sam is in possession of their se rets and has gieatly improved upon them. A little over two years ago, by dir ct on of the War Department,, Prof. Charles E. Monroe. chemist at the torpedo sta ion at Newport, R. 1., began expe iments in gun cotton, and as a result the Dupont Powder Company has a thoroughly equipped plant at Wilmington, Dei., for the manufacture of the cotton, which is the basis of smokeless p w.ler. Tliat this is not a mere experiment is proved by the faot that ;• ,0! U pounds of gun cotton have recently been received at Newport fr m. Wilmington. Both the cotton and the smote ess powder are claimed to be far supe.ior to the European articles, and, besides, are manufactured much cheaper. Experiments prove that the powdor is most satisfactory for small bore and involving and rapid lire guns up to what are kuonnas six-pounders. It is more s able than any used abroad. The powder is not suitable for use in musKets, but this is a possibility of the future, To a large extent it is now used on our war vessels and is adapted to the nm’n and secondary batteries. Greater 1 erection will come in time.

Fame Found Him In Africa.

Prof. Henry Drummond, the author of that le mark ably successful book, “Natural Daw in the Spirit World,” is a man of a slight and Intellectual type, with a splendid head. He has a wonderfully magnetic influence over his students. IDs most lamous book first appeared >.enally in a journal which soon died, tlie chapters not having attracted much attention, and the writer feeling “a l.nger: i g remorse at what share I might have had in its untimely end.” Then, the Bookman says, "two leading London publishers were offere l ihe book an l deil ned it. The author had resolved nover aga'n to be sol ved with the black seal of literature an : put the doomed sheets back in their pigeonfa ios. Mr. H. M. Hodder, however, read the papers in their serial ,orin, ami proposed their publication to thb author, who rewrote his pages in mu h haste, corrected his proofs and started for Airica. He heard nothing of his fate tor live mon hs’ travel, during which lie •never saw a letter or newspaper, and, engrossed wuh a geological and botanical survey, he forgot his venture completely. One night, an hour after midmght, three blaok messengers from the north end of Lake Kyassa disturbed his camp and delivered the hollow skin of a tiger-cat with a small paokage of letters an I papers Among them he found a copy of the Spectator containing a reiew of his book, which remaius to him among the mysteries Of literary unselfishness and charity.’ ’’

Have You a Mole?

It is now pretty well established, says a distinguished physician, that u large proportion of moles on the face and neck if allowed to remain long enough will become cancers. I have seen this proved any number of times. Several years ago I was called in consultation by an examining physician o a Life Insurance Company to look at u man who wi-hed a $lO, 1 00 policy. This man had a black mole on his right temple. I advised the physician to reject the app leant unless he had that mole removed. The would-be policy-holder laughed at me and angrily said he’d have nothing more to do with a concern that accepted such Idiotic advioe. More >hnn that, he said he’d wear that mole for fifty years if he lived that long, jusr o prove me a quack. In less than u y >ar a very malignant cancer devolope ;rotn that very mole, and within two v-)ars from the time I examined him h. as a dead man, the < ancer ending hie life. Cut the dermatologist has not ye discovered why moles become cancers, or how it is known that the pigment o < oloring matter in them is the poison that starts the growth.

Common Sense and Arithmetic.

The difference between common senso and mathematics was Illustrated in a ro • mark which Tommy Jones—who is no:, exceptionally bright, but just a common, natural boy—made in his class at school the other day. It was the class in mental arithmetic. The teacher asked Willie Smith: "Which would you rather have, Willy, half an apple, or eight-sixteenths of tin apple?’’ “Wouldn’t make any difference,” said Willy. “V hy not?" “Eight-sixteenths and one-half are all ihe same.” At this reply Tommy Jones, who was several steps farther down the class, sniffed scornfully. The teacher heard him. Well, Tommy," said she, “don’t you :,gr e with WiUy?” No’m,” said Tommy, “I’d a good deal raiher have one-half an apple. "And why, please?" “More juioe. Cut up half an apple in--1 o eight-sixteenths, and you’d lose half he juice doing It.”

Turkey Takes a Step Forward.

The Saltan of Turkey has made a vigorous break through the trammels of national tradition and has given the order that Turkey shall take a piaee in he march of civilization. He has granted concessions for the qonstruc- ; ion of long railways whioh will open up his territory to Hie east, the north and the south, all having their termini at Constantinople. One road is to run to Damascus, and another, the tig!is and Euphrates Railway, to the Persian Gulf.

Oysters and Artificial Teeth.

A dentist of Athens, Ga., has at hi, >‘!ice a < uriosity in the way of oyster nd art-tidal teetli. The teeth had evi.entij been lost by someone on board a ship or someone who had been drowned. The oysters had formed around the feeth »nd the formation is perect. A i-edg ng boat found the shell with the •eui attached, and the man who fO' n , hem sold them for S2O. The Smithson .an Institution is bow seeking to puruase them, and offers a good price.

RENSSELAER IASPEh’ COUNTS INDIANA, FRIDAY. FEBRCAM 17 1893

JOHANNES KOPELKE.

The Most Written About, but Neveb Before Pictured Senator. Indianapolis Sun. Twenty-two years jgo there landed in New York a strapping German \outh of 17. His parents had preceded him to this oonntry three years, he having remained behind to complete his education in the gymnasium of Neustetin. The young man’s name was Johannes Eopelke, and he came to this oonntry with a good edncation and plenty of energy. He spent the first year learning the English language and the next two at teaching school. In two more he had graduated from the Ann Arbor school of law, after which he settled in Crown Point, Ind. Two years ago he was elected senator and is attending the present session, Befo e being given this position he had held the “anoient and honorable office of notary public,” cirouit court commissioner, and for three weeks wt>s a member of the Gov. Gray’s staff. He says he resigned tais p : sit ion on account of overwork, The many requests from the adjutant general to go on various trips tired him of the place. Ever since that time he nas had a "kindly sentiment toward the home guards and for that reason,” he says, “I voted for Senator bill to pay the minute mentheir old claims.” Senator Kopelke is a bachelor and says he doesn’t regret. His father, who is a retired minister, and his two bisters are in Crown Point, and with them he lives a contented life with a comfortable lnoome from a good legal business. He is a olose student of political affairs, not only of the United States but of all nations. Political eci nomy and constitutional history are favorite studies. He takes an aotive part in politics in his connty and to him more than any other man is due the change from a heavy Kepnblioan to a Democratic majority there. His speeches during the campaign were all in the German language. In the senate he is a striking figuie. Senator Eopelke was also the Presidential elector for this Distriot in 1884, and cas his vote for Mr. Cleveland.

To Be a Boy Again.

I’d like to be a boy again without a woe or care, with freckles scattered on my face and hayseed in my hair; I’d like to rise at 4 o’clock and do a hundred chores, and saw the wood and feed the hogs and lock the stable-doors; and herd the hens and watch the bees and take the mules to drink, and teach the turkeys how to swim so that they won’t sink; and milk about a hundred cows and bring in wood to burn, and stand out in the sun all day and churn, and churn, and churn; and wear my brother’s cast off clothes and

•'A FISK AD SNOB TO OOSBBOT PMHOI LBS.”

walk four miles to school, and get a licking every day for breaking some old rule; and then go home again at night and do the chores once more, and milk the cows and feed the hogs and curry mules galore; and then crawl wearily upstairs to seek my little bed, and hear dad say: “That worthless boy! He isn’t worth his bread!’’ I’d like to be a boy again; a boy has so much fun; his life is just a round of mirth from rise to set of sun; I guess there’s nothing pleasanter than closing stable-doors and herding hens, and chasing bees and doing evening chores. — Washington News.

WHERE TWO OR THREE ARE MET TOGETHER

For a legitimate purpose, with honest intent, and with authority conferred by those for whom they assume to act, they may possibly expect their efforts to be rewarded and to merit the approbation of those they represent. But when word is tasaed around among an exclusive olass, a secret meeting held, and assume the rolof leaders of a party in the locality, receive the withdrawal from the list of certain applicants for place, pool issues and concentrate upon their preference, appoint a committee to represent that he is the choice of the masses, then they assume a prerogative which does not belong to them, and the proceedings res ceive the indignant condemnation of the hone it masses of the party By the way, what we want to know is: Was such a meeting held? If so, where? Who composed its membership? What proceedings were had? Why not iurnisb the Sentinel the minutes tor publicas tion, if rumor prove to be f ct?

We have been unable to find a Democrat who was present at a meeting said to have been held to determine the choice between aspirants for the posioffice at this place. One welLknown Democrat informs us that he was given to under&tai d that he would have been invited to attend but for the reason that he was supposed to be friendly to McEwen. It was evidently an extremely one-sided as fair, and extreme care taken that it should be so. If such a meets ing was held, and under such circumstances declared it was veiemg the sen iments of the Democracy of this Reality, and sent a com - mittee bearing its proceedings to Congressman Hammond what is to be thought of it? How sho’d Mr. Hammond tri at such an attempt at imposition upon himself?

A. D, Smith, of Cranesville, Tenn., died to all appearances, but during ths funeral services a thumping was heard on the coffin lid, and wnen it was removed Mr. Smith sat up and stared at the group of fainting women and startled men. He was taken to hi* home and in a few hours seemed to recover. He told of many queer things whioh he saw in heaven and of friends with whom he shook hands. He said they showed him a book In whioh were written the name? of himself, his wife and children. His own name was partially erased. The next day he called out, “I see them,” end fell baok dead.

Every Men Mis Own Protection. There lives In New York an Irishman who sometimes goes over to his native isle, and who learns a thing or two at each visit. Upon one at tyhese visits he found that one workingman in the region where the visitor found himself was paid considerable more pei; week than his fellows got. “Why do they pay you more than these other men get!” he asked the laborer. “Because I’m worth more,” was the answer. “I’ve been to America and learned how to work.” Any one who knows American working men and workingmen abroad can understand this. We are the nerviest, cleverest, hardiest people on earth. It is not boasting to say this; it is simple truth. Not only is this true, but it is also true that intelligent foreigners coming to Amerioa soon catch our ways and learn how to do almost the work of two days in one. A man who has studied the Italians says that when these men first come to America they are slow and awkward, but they presently learn how to work and develop into excellent workmen. This is as true of skilled as of unskilled workmen. The Italian mechanic is accustomed to lighter tools than we use in America, and he finds himself at a disadvantage until he learns the ways of our people, but if he has the stuff in him he gets to doing an American instead of an Italian day’s work. A contractor who had built railroads all over the world said that the cost per mile was no more in Illinois at $1.35 per day for labor than in British India at nine cents a day for labor. The talk about foreign pauper labor and the danger of its competition is a humbug. We need not fear it, because it is pauper labor. The laborer to be feared is the fellow who can do a bigger day’s work than the American laborer, and he has yet to be bom. In British India a man who is not more than fairly well off will havo a dozen servants in his house, each at ridiculously low wages, but they will not do the work of two wide awake women with American training, and their wages, taken altogether, amount to more than you’d pay to three such women.

Where American workmen are paid more than foreign workingmen it is because they are worth more and not because of protection. If you hire ten skilled workingmen of American birth or training to do a piece of work and pay them $3.50 per day, the cost of doing that work will be thirty-five dollars a day. ■ If you hire three times as many unskilled, untrained, inefficient men at one-third the wages, you’ll pay the same amount in the aggregate and get no more work done. But are there no foreign workingmen as skillful and efficient as American workingmen t In a few trades there are foreigners who can do things that our people cannot do, or can do but poorly, and those men are often as well paid as American workingmen. In other trades there are skilled foreigners whose hours are shorter than those of workingmen in Amerioa, or who use less labor saving machinery, and therefore get less work done. As a rule, however, the day’s labor of an American is worth more than the day’s labor of s foreigner who haa'nofi learned our ways, and for that reason the wages of the American are higher. The best protection of American labor lies in the energy, skill, intelligence and persistency of the American laborer. “Every man his own protection” is a good cry. This is how a New York widow got ahead of the Inman Steamship company. She owned a narrow strip of land which the company wished, and, of course, she asked an outrageous price for it. A compromise was finally readied. She offered to deed the land if the company would in return agree to give to her and her two daughters, as long as she lived, free passage upon the steamers of the line. As she was an elderly lady the company agreed to it. This was in 1889, Ever since then the lady and her daughters have lived aboard the company’s steamers, and as they run vessels to nearly all the principal parts of the world she travels whenever she wishes,

Of the effect of the increase of the wool duties, the Chicago Tribune (Rep.) ■ays: The wool grower will not have an increased price for his fleeces. They have gone down instead of up, because the higher cost of woolen goods will check consumption. That will lessen the demand* for American fine wool, and that will lower the price of wool. So the sheep owner who was meant to be the chief gainer will be the chief loser, for he will pay more for his woolen goods and get less for his wool. He will feel worse than the consumer who has no sheep, and who loses at one end only. A new instrument that possesses value and novelty is a speculum for examining horses’ mouths. It is the invention of an Illinois man, and consists of a bit broad enough to keep the horse’s mouth open and an arrangement of reflectors to determine easily the condition of the throat and mouth.
