Would Not Kiss Her. - One of the most modest members of congress is “Bob” Cousins, of Iowa It is told that not many sessions ago Mr. Mercer, a Member from Nebraska, still in the house, married a young lady well known in Washington. Inasmuch as Cousins is an intimate friend of Mer- cer’s. both being born in Iowa, the latter thought it would be an excellent idea to have Cousins act as best man at Bob consented. The ceremony occurred. After it was over the minister kissed the bride, brides- maids ditto. The bride, supposing the best man would be glad of a similar courtesy extended to him, puckered up her lips to Bob in order that he might avail himself of the opportunity so gra- ciously extended-to him. When Mr. Cousins realized what was expected of him in the premises he gave one look at the bride, turned so red that even the darkest corner of the church became as light as noonday, bolted down the aisle the wedding. ‘ |and out of the church, leaving the bried in rather an embarrassed state of mind, to say nothing of the mingled feelings of surprise and bewilderment —of the other members of the bridal party and friends. Both Mercer and Cousins are in the present congress, but the lat- ter would rather talk on almost any subject than on certain incidents ‘‘con- neeted with the wedding of the gentle- man from Nebraska.—Troy Times.

EARLY HISTORY OF CAST STEEL. ART tell me Bjones is. hugiged. ” Buggins— How the Secret of Its Manufacture Was Revealed to the World. The history of cast steel presents a curious instance of a manufacturing secret stealthily obtained under the. cloak of au appeal to philanthropy. The ‘main dist nection between iron and stecl, | )as mins. peo ple know, is that the Jatter contains carbon. The one is converted into the other by being heated for a considerable time in contact with pow- dered charcoal in an iron box. Now steel thus made is unequal. The middle of a bar is more carbonized than the ends, and the surface more than the center. It is, therefore, unreliable. Neverthe- less, before the invention of cast steel there was nothing better.’ In 1730 there lived in Attercliffe, near Sheffield, a watchmaker named Huntsman. He became dissatisfied with the watch- springs in use, end set himself to the task of making them homogeneous. ‘t,” thought he, “I can melt a picce of dine and cast, it into an ingot its com- position should. be the same through. out.” He succeeded. His steel soon be- came famous. Huntsman’s ingots for fine work were in universal demand. Iie did not cail them cast steel. That was his secret. About 1770 a large manufactory ofthis peculiar steel was estaijlisled at Attercliffe. The prectss was ‘wrt pped im secreey by everyone within reach. True and faith- ful men were hired, the work divided und subdivided, large wages paid, and stringent oaths admijnistéered. It-did not avail. One midwinter’s night, as the tall chimneys of. the .Attercliffe steel works belehed forth, a traveler knocked at the gate It was bitter ¢old. the snow fell fast and the wind howled ucross the moat. The stranger, ap- |: parently a plowman or agricultural laborer seeking shelte? from the storm, awakened no suspicion. _ Scanning the way farer closely, and moved by motives of humanity, the foreman granted his request and let him in, Feigning to be worn out with cold and fatigue, the poor fellow sank upon the floor and soon appeared to be asleep. That, however, was far from his intéen- lions. He closed his eyes apparently only. He saw workmen cut bars of stee] into bits and lace them in crucibles in rhe [The fity Fas urged to itsex ite atee] wasimeltedi | Clothed in wet rags to protect them- selves from the heat, the workmen drew out the glowing m - [Mr Huntsman’ g factory had nothing more to be dis- closed.

Re- ferring to the abundance of small game in southern New Jersey, the item says that ‘the dry season has been favorable inally wet, would have been drowned in the burrows, as Very many are every | year. Now, if this is true, it is impor- tant, for it has always been supposed that there were no rabbits native to this country, the only rabbits we ever see here being the tame ones of the fanciers, which originated from im- ported stock. What are popularly known as rabbits in this country, the ‘ecottontails’ of the brush patches, dry swamps, and bushy plains, the little youthful trapping and snaring forays, animal does not burrow or live in bur- rows. called rabbit had been a subterranean would not ‘be as fertile in resources as it is and as it has to be to escape the pursuing fox, its persistent and crafty enemy, and the still more persistent For if it were a burrower it would, like all burrowing animals, be never far from,home, and would hasten to its underground refuge. arty. disappear at the first sound or sight of danger. “Who, with memories of exhilerating November mornings, when he has stood on a runway waiting for the hounds to fetch round to him the fleet game they have started, and has heard their music fade away as the chase went afar, and, after a long time, heard it coming back again, faintly at first, growing louder aud lor der as the distance grew up, nu- till at last the frightened bunny came bounding into sight ahend of it to meet his fate, can believe that this verile little creature is 4 common, lorry bursa i rower? If he has taken to the burrow In southern New Je rscy, to lie there while the water comes in and drowns him, he is a degenerate. “The rabbit burrows its home in the ground. The hare fashions its home in bunches of tall, dry grass or beneath the shelter of a thick bush, and its nest is called its ‘form.’ The rabbit’s young are born with their eyes closed, like puppies. The eyes of the hare’s little ones are wide open the moment they are born, and bright and watchful eyes they are. The rabbit’s young require a mother’s care for nearly a month be- fore they are able to care for them- selves, six days of which time they are helpless and blind. The young hare scorns its mother’s protection when it is six days old, and goes hopping away to see the world on its own account. I have come upoh young hares not much bigger than a rat, which have bounded away with a briskness aed evidence of strength and independence equal to full-grown ones. It is true that our miscalled native rabbit will frequently seek the burrow of a woodchuck or other hole ih the ground when hard pressed, with the same instinct for safe- ty that prompts him to creep under brush piles and nestle there, or into the depths of stone walls or the hollows of stumps and trees. But he is ever an outdoor dweller, brisk and alert. Even the great jack rabbit of the far west is not arabbit. If he were there could not be the periodical round-ups which the people afflicted by the presence of this’ pestiferous animal make of his kind te slaughter them by thousands, for then’ he would live in burrows, to which he would naturally betake him- self in time of danger, and no corral could ensue. The jack rabbit is simply an overgrown hare, and no credit to his family. | “If: this plentiful small game that abounds in New Jersey lives in burrows, as alleged, it is the rabbit, sure enough, and it is the first place in this country that I ever heard of where the true wild rabbit could be found, Consequently it id important, if t trye.”s N.Y.
