It was on I ob II. the day the ? l?'< jural votes were eoWitod. Inrt'i .fa?

Adams, resenting this broach of etiquette, took no official or social notice of lib* successor tend left the city on the ad of March, neither he nor any utetpbor of Ida cabinet re malnlng to welcome' iaekson to olllce. On the morning of March 4 those fortunate to secure a commanding po altion on Caplto) hill l(K>ked down upon Pennsylvania avenue alive with carts and carrlagoa full of women and chil dren, their tnale escort a walking be side them. At last a small company of men was aeeu marching compactly through this crowd up the middle of the avenue, ono tall figure holding his hat, while the wind played through his willful gray locks. There wps some thing military lu tho alght. something most unmilltary in the nibble of poo pie shouting themselves hoarse In ac claim of the spare, erect llguro. It was an expression of popular will and popular trfiat that gripped the heart and Hent an ache to the throats even of those who feared the "Tennessee bar harlan" and his bout. After taking the oath of olllce Jack sou returned to the White (louse on horseback, followed Indiscriminately by white and black, rich und poor men. women und children, who swarm ed over the lawn and through the rooms of the executive mansion, where no poilco provision had been made for such an onslaught The courageous old warrior was forced that day to do What he Hcldoin did. 116 retreated and sought refuge In his old quarters at Oadsby's. Current rumor had it that a quantity of china and cut glass to the value of several thousand dol lurs was broken In an attempt to get refreshments to the multltudo, and finally great tubs of punch were car rled out In front of the house, but that "hogsheads would not have been enough." ?

If you scald yourself with tho toil kettlo you are apt to think that boiling water Is a pretty hot proposition. Bin boll in/? water is not alwiiy^ very hot water, and this is t he way it happens When water bolls ordinarily It Is be cause great heat lias separated the tiny particles of the water, forcing upward jind outward in lively bubbles the nir which is contained in thein. This I* done In spite of the downward pros sure of the atmosphere. Alter the wa ter has become hot enough to boll it can got no hotter, because the air es capos ns fast as it Is sufficiently hosted to do so There arc places on flu* earth where the pressure of the atmosphere upon the water Is so slight that it requires but little heat to push "apart the par titles and set free the air bubbles which are confined in tbe water, so it l>eglns to boll before it becomes very hot. It. ought hardly to be called cold water, perhaps, but it Is certainly far from being as hot as ordinarily boil Ing water. This state of things is I found on all high mountain tops, as the ' atmosphere grows weaker and its pros 1 sure loss as one ascends j A man traveling at a great elevation I in the Andes mountains put some fnv ' tatoes in a jH)t of water over a hot Are | The water began to boil almost tin i mediately, but the potatoes did not ! cook. All the afternoon and all the j night the water bubbled and boiled, but still the potatoes were not cooked. The ! tndllnp water was not hot enough. Humbled Arrogance. "That did me more good than any thing that has happened in a long time." "What did?"

Nantucket, scene of Oermauy'e latent submarine exploits, has taken a front place in many previous wars. Heglnning life as a whaling stution, the Quaker lalaiul hullt up a, fleet of. nearly 150 vessel* hy the end of the eighteenth century. In 1785,' however, the British took or nunk 134 of theae MhipH. To add to Nantucket'* misfor tune*, tallow oil began to displace whale oil for the making of candles, and In 1812 the whaling fleet again suf fered destruction during this second war. The famous old Puritan town, or village owod its whaling Industry to the accident of Christopher Hussey having been blown out to sea, and thus provided with an opportunity of tack' ling the sperm whale afar from shore. The industry perished 50 years ago, giving place to the hotel and the boajrd lng house. ? London Chronicle. Cut Trees by Exploding Dynamite, Instead of an ax and saw to re move th<l tops Of trees that are to be used as masts In logging epilations, dynamite is used to shoot off the tops. After the branches have been removed, a rigger climbs the trees, with a set of Irons, to the point where it Is neces sary to cut off the top. Hero the trunk Is usually about 12 inches In di ameter. The rigger ties a string of dynamite cartridges, fastened end .to end like sausages, around the trunk at this point, inserts a blasting cap with about 20 feet of fuse In one of these sticks, lights tho end of the fuse, and descends before the explosion takes place. Tho tree top Jumps Into the air with explosion and the trunk is left ready for attaching the rigging for dragging In and loading the logs, ? Engineering Record. Tho Cane Fashion. In nearly all tho pictures of men's fashions, and they are quite frequent these days as the women's, there is a cane in evidence, as if that wps a necessary adjunct of the reigning fash ion. It is not an unpleasant feature of a man's apparel. As n. matter of stVle It is attractive, and as a contribu tion to his satisfaction it is more so. There Is a drawback, to- wit, that in order for a man to carry a cane suc cessfully he must dress welt.-? Colum bus Journal. . * 1 TAX NOTICE. Otlicc of Treasurer, Kershaw Co., Caihden, S.
