The idea of moat of the present machines i» this : The passing of a bar of heated iron back and forth throu^jh the machine, dropping off into horseshoes ; that is, the horaeshoes are made one at a time. Hy Mr. Firth's plan, it is claimed, forty, tifty, or even sixty horseshoes can be made at the same time, it taking just fxur seconds to make one horseshoe or A WIMISOK ROMA.NCr, In Which a I'urui»r Hainiltunian is Mixed Up.

A relief train carrying physicians and the ambulance corps of the -liird separate coin- pacy was at once sent to the scene from Dere. The wrecked train consisted of the engine, mnil and baggage car, and three coaches. 1 he mail and baggage cars and ' two coaches, one the smoker, were thrown ' froiii the track and rolled down an embank- I meiit into a ditch containing several feet of I water. The cause of the accident was the I spreading of the rails. 'I he ears were but j â- lighlly damaged, although the train was ' running thirty miles an hour ubenthej accident occurred.

As ^Ir8.Riley had some property and Mr. Sadler had not been notified of his mother's death, hewroie a lawyer hero and learned that a year ago Riley sold thirty acres of land near Sand- wich for S7,000 and took back on it a mort- gage to Mrs. Riley for 85,000, Riley's name not being mentioned in the mortgage. As this mortgage was Mrs. Riley's, it belonged to her natural heir, Mr. Badler. He was surprised to learn that Riley, acting as administrator, had discharged the mort- gage. He arrived here to-day, and a brief investigation has already convinced him that he is entitled to considerable property from the estate- There are some curioos features, as, for instance, Riley swore that his wife left an estate valued at only S75.

An Atlanta (Ga ) despatch sayp : Miss Mary Jameson, a pretty IH. year old girl, whose home is in Clayton county, Geargia, departed for Waco, Texas, where she will become the wife of Mr. Simpson Mann, one of the wealthiest planters of that sec- tion. In 1808 Mann was one of the most popular young farmers in the county. He was engaged to be married to the daughter of.a neighbor, whoee hand was sought by many others. The day for the marriage was set and the guebts invited. Unfortun- ately for him, Mann espoused the Republi- can party, which was in much odium at the time. Not only did the lady's father object to the marriage of his daughter with a Re- publican, bat theyoung lady herself declared her purpose never to wed one whose sym- pathies could be'with the party in power, When the wedding day came it was a rival â€" Henry Jameson, aud not Mann, who stood up as the groom. The rejected suitor sold out his poss^essionsaiid moved to Texas where he has grown rich, while the lady who was to have bti.ii his bride has become the mother of an interesting family, the eldest of whom is Miss Mary. A year ago Mann revisited the old scene, still single and with a heart susceptible to love. H saw in Mary the image of her mother when he lost her in 18(iH. He conceived the sin gular idea of having his old sweetheart for a mother-in law. The daughter consented and the marriage was to take place this week. A telegram from Texas told of a serious accident to her lover which pre- vented his coming to Georgia, and asked her to go there. The brave girl at once decided to go, and in now on her way.

There is a great stir among the owners of cows in Queen's County. Under the Act of Congress, adopted by the Legislature of this State in 1887. Inspector Law, of the Bureau of Animal Industry, is making things lively. One case has just occurred which will bring up the ijuestion of the constitutionality of the law under which cows are "tagged," as it is termed. Jake Munson is a well-known resident of Maspeth and keeps a cow or two. Sub- Inspectors Smith and Crown went to Jake's place to tag the cows. The tag consists of a piece of brass containing a number. Through the brass a copper wire ia run The inspector carries a pair of nippers like shoemakers use to punch holes in leather with these nippers a hole is punched in the ear of the cow and through it the copper wire is passed, the ends of it then being twisted BO as to hold the tag fast. The object of the tag is to identify the cow wherever it may go, so that the spread of pleuro-pneumonia may be prevented. When the inspectors reached Jake's dwelling he was absent. But Mrs. Munson was very much there, too much, aa it turned ont, for the inspectors. As soon as the lady knew the object of the visit she placed herself in front of the cow stable like Ajax defying the lightning, and said : " Look a here ! You can't come inside this stable without tickling me." The inspectors pulled out a circular two feet long and read it at the defender of her cows, but it didn't make her ijnake a bit and she told them they might bring a hun dred yards of the same sort of rigmarole and she wouldn't care a snap for it or them. •' Why, it's an Act of Congress, signed by the President of the United States and ap proved by the Legislature of this State and (iovernor Hill," said Inspector Jim Smith. " If it was George Washington's cocked hat ,1 wouldn't give a darn for it," was the reply. " Well, ma'am," said the inspector, " we don't want to hurt you " " Hurt me !" exclaimed the lady seizing a pitchfork ; " I'd like to see the likes o you attempt to hurt me. I'd make holes in you worse 'an ye ever made in the ear of a poor harmless cow." " Let me expostulate, Mrs. Uunson, said the inspector. " 'Postulate ofT'D the premiseB in iinick sticks," said Mrs. Munson, " or it'll be worse for you." The inspectors thought it safest to retire, and they went to Al Pettil's saloon to inijuiro after some Dutch courage. Presently Jake came along and the in- spectors told him ihbi. they had been to his place to tag the cows, but that his wife had refused to allow them to enter the stable, and they had refrained from using violence oui of regard for his wife. " Ua, ba, ha I" laughed Jake, " that's a good 'uD. I'll go and cheer up the old woman." The inspectors followed Jake and 'gaia attempted to enter the stable. Mr. Munson seized the ready pitchfork and charged U(ion them, and they tied ignominionsly. The inspectors got out a warrant against Munson and his wife for interfering with them in the discharge of their duties as otlicers of the State, and the matter is to come up before Justice McKonna at New- town. Lawyer William E. Slocum, for the defendants, will raise the ()uestion whether the inspectors can. under the law, exercise the right to enter upon private property and mutilate the chattels of a citi/«D. â€" Brooklyn Citizen.

" 'The gentleman living iu the house had, it ap|>eared, hauled the carrier over the coals and accused him of not giving him his pa|H'r. I concluded to watch the house and see who it was that was steal- ing the papers, for I was satished that the carrier was telling the truth. The next mornl^ 1 saw the carrier throw the paper in the yard, and I concealed myself on Cbe opiKisite side of the street to await develop- ments. In a few minutes I saw a big black Newfoundland dog cliiubover the fence from the adjoining yard and pick up the paper in his mouth.

A Splritualltirie Medium « lio >itend the- Fire Teat. On a recent evening, in Cincinnati, Mrs. Isa Wilson Porter gave what is known among her spiritualistic brethren aa " the tire test," at Greenwood Uall, before aa audience of about HOO people. A committee, consisting of Dr. W. F. Work, Col. J. W. Andrews, Dr. S. E. Hyndham, Prof. Edgar Beall and Dr. L. A. Querner, were chosen to go upon the stage and inspect the lady and report upon the result of her perform- ances. The Diembers of the committee took chairs around the table and the lady walked forward, taking a position behind it. First she washed her hands in a bowl of ice water. Then she reached ont her two pulses, which were grasped and felt carefully by two committeemen on either side of her. This over, the lady sat down and began to toy with two lighted lamps, talking in some unknowt> gibberish. A lady beside the reporter said it was the lingo of the ancent tire- worship- pers, but it sounded very much like tb» language used by nurses " just landed " when talking to babies not old enough to announce their vernacular. Mrs. Porter handled the red-hot lamp chimneys, passed her hands and arms slowly over the tlames of the lamps and linally took the hand of her little daughter and held that limb over the blaze for â- [uite a while, the child evinc- ng no sign of discomfort. She passed carfs, black and white paper, a celluloid collar and other articles of a perishable nature through the devouring (lames, which did not dovour worth a cent, and brought the articles out all right without a singe or a bruise, admid the claps of the audience and the smiles of the com- mittee. She tilled a dish with alcohol and lighted it. and talking Sanscrit at a high- rate basked her tender wrists and rotund arms in the red-hot tlames, and showed up without a scar or even a pimple. The com- mittee told the audience it was wonderful. One of them said that her arms showed an excitation of "n and '.w degrees â€" ijuite an. irregularityâ€" before the test commenced. It must not be forgotten that Mrs. Porter daring her experiments held a lamp chim- ney, in which an inch and a half ffame flared almost to the top against her cheek for fully two minutes without singeing a hair. None of the committee were pre- pared to tell whether Mrs. Porter used antidotal chemicals on hor limbs to guard against being burned. â€" Cincinnati Knquirrr. ^ Watch Uials Miule h> IMiotographjr. Watch dials are now made by photo- graphy at a mere fraction of their former cost. They all used to be painted by hand. Now a hundred are made in the time for- merly required to produce one, and each of the hundred is better than the one would have been. The dial is copper, coveredi with enamel. Upon that they lay a sen- sitized coating of albumen and bicbromat* of potash. A large drawing, say twelv» inches in diameter, of the design, figure* and dots that it is desired to put upon the dial is photographed down to the reqaireA size, which makes it so fine that whatever inaccuracies may have been in the draw- ing are almost beyond discovery by th*- microscope- The negative thus made ig exposed to the light in contact with the gelatine coated watch dial for from three- to five minutes. Electric light ia just a» good as sunlight. Where the light has acted the gelatine is made insoluble. The dial is • now inked over with common lithographio transfer ink. >'ext, with a clean sponge moistened with a little gum water, the ink and gelatine are wiped off the dial frota all parts except where the light has acted, and to those it adheres, leaving the designs in clear black upon the enameled plate. Rut that design would easily blur and rub- off by wear. Another process is necessary to make it permanent. .\ metallic enamel, powder of any color desiredâ€" black, blue, red, green, or purple â€" is dusted upon the dial. It sticks to the inked portions, but nowhere else. Then the dial ia put in the motile and lired. The enamel powder melts into the white enamel base, and th» work is complete. The Waltham Wattb Company paid 82.000 for that process. By it they can turn out for 10 cents each dial» that in the old way of making would have' cost 81 apiece.â€" AVw York Sun.
