Eeisrefield Advertiser TIT?S. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31,1897. n fe The news of another Armenian massacre comes-seven hundred victims of Turkish cruelty. . Congress ii still dilly-dallying over the arbitration treaty with England, and it. is probable will eventually refuse to ratify it. $100,000 worth of cotton drills has just been shipped from the Piedmont and Pelzer mills to Shanghai, China. The president is a Methodist, but there are three Presbyterians, one Congregationalist, one Independ ent, one Unitarian, and one Cath olic in his cabinet. .The Cretans aided by Greece are gaining victories over the Turks. . Popular opinion has forced Eng land to withdraw from the block ade, and lt is rumored that France will follow Great Britain's exam ple. Busiue3S at the phosphate works in this State has been unusually . good this season, despite the al leged gloomy outlook. The man agers of tho mil s admit that th? quantity of fertilizers sold during the months of January, Februar] and March exceeds that of a lik< period for many years back. *'<Jov.

Corn is taken to the milj at the rate of 70 lbs to bu. Fourteer lbs are deducted for cobs and are not paid fer, but the miller grinds these with oat hulls, making No 3 chop, which sells at $12 to 14 pei ton, thus giving the miller a clear profit. This cheap chop iu un. healthful and its sale should not be allowed. A friend of mine recently lost two shoats and was unable to assign a cause. He called a veterinary surgeon, ? who found that death had resulted fron clog ging of the intestines with this cheap chop. The man had paid $7 for a half ton of. chop and had lost $50 from its use. The man ufacture and sale of it should be stopped and then there would be an increased demand for rye, oats and corn. State 'Grange Master Leonard Rhono is investigating che matter in that state.

A young Italian is working miracles in London-performing feats which are miraculous in comparison for instance, with the rovelation of the Roentgen rays. Nothing more startling could be asked, in the way of a scientiury sensation for the closing years of the century, than the spectacle of this boy of .wenty two Marconi by name, telegraphing without vires - fora mile or two through the 1 heart of London, the massive buildings offering no more resistance apparently than as if they were thin air. The account is to be found in McClure's Magazine. He telegraphs to th? 2 light ships anchcied off the west coast of England, and this sug gests freak possi bilities io the way of signais from lighthouses to vessels in a fog, or from one vessel to another. Right here comes in the most shocking, overpowering suggestion of ail. The electric current which Marconi's in strument produces is capable of igniting gunpowder at long dis tances ; it has done it.

SOME TRAINED CATS. Tho Clever Tricks They Have Been Tattght to Perform. One of the most difficult things to teach a cat is to follow like a dog. As a nile, they will not follow, bnt occasion ally there is an exception. A New York young lady has a cat that trails so close after her as to be almost stepped upon. The chief clerk of the state department at Washington has a cat with tho same accomplishment He has owned ii; for seven or eight years. It will follow him about the streets for miles just like a dog and is excessively fond of going ont for a walk, provided its master selects evenings for his meanderings. In day light it prefers no't to go on these ram bles, evidently because it does not like to come in contact with small boys and dogs, who are then too numerous on the streets of Washington. It has often been observed that cat.; really care nothing for a master or a mistress, but become attached to place and not to persons. Not so with this particular cat, for at one time when its owner changed his residence he pur f copied th? house he had vacated but 0 Scat was not satisfied until* had . found where the new house was an . token up its abode there, with ?ride* 1 delight at finding its old friend and pro t ^?Tthe treasury department at Wash incton there is one very wonderful cat '> Hrnamei8Tom,andwhen adclresset ,t he will qnickly respond, even wakin a out of a sound sleep to go toward th I speaker.

There is only one pearl farm in th world. It is in the Torres strait, at th d northern extremity of Australia, and be if longs to James Clark of Queensland tt Mr. Clark, who is known as "the kinf of the pearl fishers, " originally stocket it with 150,000 pearl oysters. No\j 1,500 men-"00 of whom are divers and 250 vessels are employed in har 1 j vesting the crop. "I have been IB years engaged in pearl fishin~ " Mr. Clark told a corre spondent of the Melbourne Age. "I began in a small way and have given the fish eries my close attention during all this time. My experience has led me to the belief that with proper intelligence in the selection of a place, one can raise pearls and pearl shells as easily as one can raise oysters. "I started my farm three years ago and have stocked it with shells which I obtained, in many instances, far oat at sea. To grow shells successfully, how ever, according to my experience thus far, the water must not be too deep. "My pearl shell farm covers 5,089 Minare miles. Over most of it the water is shallow. In shallow water shells at tain the greatest size, and, besides, it ia hard on the divers to go down deep for them. 1 'I ship my pearls to London in my own vessels. The catch each year runs, roughly speaking, from $200,000 worth up to almost five times that amount" WARNED~OF DANGER. Apparition That Saved a Woman From Being; Bitten hy a Cobra. The following remarkable occurrence, an absolute fact, was related by a lady visiting friend' ; \ Hartford as it was told her by her cousin in Meerat, north western India It took place in the house of the sister of the narrator. Of its absolute accuracy there can be no question. The two sisters in India aro connected with families of repute and 1 with officers in the British army in In- ' dia. We give the story as the lady here j related it She is a devout member of ' the Episcopal church and is incapable of misrepresenting in the slightest par- 1 ticular. 1 Her cousin, in whose house the occur- a renee took place, was seated at a lighted table engaged in reading, when, think- ( in g it about time to retire, and happen- t ing to lift her eyes from the book, she was astonished to see seated in a chair * before her, and between herself and the I' loor to the bathroom, a man, a stranger c ?o her, who calmly regarded her. It was *' co great a surprise for her to speak and iemand who was thus intruding unbid- a len upon her privacy and what was ? vanted. She remained for a moment in D ilent astonishment Then it gradually dawned upon her P1 hat the figure was probably not that of tl , person of real flesh and blood, but a ~ isitor from the unseen world of life. ?he remembered having once, as a child, *D een a similar figure, under drouin- th tances which seemed to preclude thc c* lea that it was any person still in the ody, and in later years, in revolvi? nc aose circumstances, she had remember st Pi IS di 13 ci sc tx tl 81 t^ Vi a ?

Many Schemes That FaUcd Before th, High Chimney Was Painted. At the cement works on the wesl toe of Hempstead harbor' there smokestack 123 feet high affect ii dTaracter which has long needed pa nt inT The manager thought the time 1 uu Sme to dispose of the job. Two of th foremen, the shovel engineer and , S carpenter set their wits to jori L contrive a way of getting a rope u through the pipe's interior and down o the outside so that au apparatus com be rigged to hoist thc painter. One of the Italians suggested lett? to I *a 1 euXVk cord, and then sent them skylark et ing through the pipe. As a spectacle i ry was fine, but the heat from the powde ? burned off the chain, and the strinj ld was left at its starting point. Then th )n younger foreman tried. He had made i i. kite having two strings, one of whicl i\ went through a pulley attach?'1 near th? >r kite, which had a small iron weigh d fastened to its upper end, the intentior ii being to fly the kite until it was-direct ly over the smokestack, and then lowei the weight down into the interior. The kite worked beautifully until it was time for it to be useful, when it 31 turned a aomersault, tangling itself in e j the pulley tackle, and the whole thing came to grief. Then the carpenter began to talk. He, too, remembered boyish pastimes and believed they could be j j turned to account His idea was to as cend the cable tower, 90 feet distant and 180 feet high, and from this posi tion throw into the smokestack a weight tied to a string. The wind was blowing a gale, br* this did not discourage the man, and ho with the two foremen, as cended th? tower for perform ance No. 8. To throw a two pound weight fasten ed to a string was no easy matter, and it was ea.'eedingly difficult to keep a foothold on <he tower. After three trials, however, the weight fell as planned, save that the string broke. Later the carpenter tried again, casting the weight four times before it entered the stack. "When the rigging to hoist the painter waa in order, there was a call for vol unteers, but only one man responded. He was the shovel engineer, Will Sny der, from Chicago. He has had an ex perience in work in high places, for whenever the steel cable, 140 feet above the ground, needs tarring Snyder gets a paint pot, swings himself astride the framework of the traveler and paints the cable as the traveler goes back and forth on its regular business. Several of the men employed at the cement works seem to be born acrobats, and they work far up in the air as easily as on the ground, so that when repairs are needed on the towers or cables and cool, level headed men must bo had there has never been any necessity to go outside of tho regular force.-New York Sun. Tho Way They Did lt. Chauncey M. Depew says that he has had personal experience in seeking office -not for himself, however, but for oth ers-from every Republican president. He says that Mr. Lincoln would always listen attentively to what he had to say md then tell a funny story. On his way back to the hotel he would think over the story, and finally see that it landed lis candidate way out of sight. General Grant always received an ipplication for office as toasts to the nemory of Washington are drunk randing and in silence. President Hayes listened for awhile, hen broke out into lamentations that he attention of the president of the Jnited States should be diverted from he great affairs of state to distribute atrouage. Then he would make a mem randum iu a little red book, which was 3 remind him not to do it. General Garfield would put his ann round your neck, tell you how much e loved you and then forget what you ad asked of him. President Arthur would listen with alite attention to all you had to say, len refer you to some man in New ork whom you were never able to find President Harrison would sink down to his chair until you had presented e claims of your candidate and then lange the subject. President McKinley's methods have it been developed.- Chicago Record. Our Society Leaders. Society in Europe has a certain re ricted meaning which enables one to cture to himself what "in society" eans. It is not necessarily a brilliant .sanction, but it is at least a sufficient r intelligible definition. But here "so ety leader" and "clubman" may mean >mething or nothing, as the oase may 3. Here again democracy exaggerates ie very sentiments and positions it is ipposed to ignore. Every woman with ?vo changes of headgear is a "society roman," and everyman with a top hat nd two pairs o? trousers is a ' 'cinti lan.' * One hears, too. more talk about old families" here than anywhere else. 7hy it is I know not, unless it be be ause they secretly feel that they are all o new.-"America and Americans ("rom a French Point of View. " A Brand From the '.Barning. After the German invasion an officer )f the Turkos could not settle down, into jivio life, but went off to Africa on an exploring expedition.
