ford to dcplicate tl experience of Cook

a fabulous sum for the purchase of new
records after the great fire which destroy

Bt voting a direct tax, sufficient in
amount to raise at once the $80,000 nec
essary to build a court house, the people
of the present day would thus pay for
iniprorcments, the benefits of which
would be largely enjoyed by future gen
erations. But by voting for bonds pay
able in ten or twenty years at the option
of th county, and bearing 5 annual
interest, the property owners of the future
would thus share with those of the present
both the benefits and expenses of court
house. And in as much as future genera
tions are interested as much in the preser
vati.m of the county records as the people
of today, we therefore belieye it just and
proper that they should bear a portion of
the expense and hence we are in favor of
the bonds.
While Latin and Greek,
will
never
cease to hold their p1ace in the front
rank of educational agents, it is an an
achronism of the grossest kind to insist
on a prolonged study of these two deud
languages, as the necessary basis for the
central culture of a well educated gen
tleman in the latter end of this nine
teenth century; the more so, that expeience
has taught that nineteen out of twenty
young men who have been driven through
this routine of the dead languages a
school, in after-life make no use of them
and the fruits which their beasted classr
cal training has to show are in the in
verse ratio of the labor spent upon it.

THE JAPANESE rOURTH OF
JULY.
Mhe 11 th'of last February was a sort
of Fourth of July in Japan. On that
day the new constitution was proclaimed
whereby the government was changed
from an absolute to a constitutional
monarchy. Mr. Wm. Elliot Griffis,
author of The Mikado's Empire," writes
an explanation in the June Fortim of the
constitution whereby the Japanese take
by far the longest step yet taken by ' an
Asiatic people toward free government.
The 30,000,000 common people now en
joy for the first time the protection of
law and many of the rights of free citi
zens. There is both a property and an
educational qualification of suffrage, and
the house of representatives consists of
about three hundred members at least
thirty years of age, who pay national
taxes to the amount ' ot fifteen dollar?,
and are chosen for four years. Feb. 11
was a day of great rejoicing throughout
the Empire. Cities and towns were deco
rated, cannon were tired, and millions of
copies of the new constitution were dis
tributed. It was a day, too, of great
meaning to Japanese women. For the
first tiroe.the empress appeared in public
with the emperor.

With the single exception of the Unit
ed States, no country on the American
Continent has made such rapid progress
in the past half-dozen years as Mexico,
and, with the same exception, no country
has "a fairer future. Its debts is being
stedily reduced, its bonds aie increasing
in value in the money markets of the
world, while its credit has reached n
point hardly expected by the most astuts
and sanguine of Mexican statesmen a de
cade ago. There are over 4,000 miles of
railroad in that country, an increase of
about 25 per cent within three or four
years past, and upward of 10,000 miles
of telegraph. In the former it leads
all of the countries of the continent
save the United States, Canada,
Brazil and the Argentine ltepublic; and
in miles of wire in operations Ihe United
States alone ahead of it. In every dep
artment of its industry there has
been a great growth in recent years, while
its commerce, foreign as well as domestic
begans to take on large proportions. An
important adyance has also been made in
the number and character of its schools
and the general level of intelligence of its
people.
The most striking and conspicous por
tion of Mexico's advancement began
toon after the commencement of the Ad
ministration of its present President Por
firio Diaz, lie entered office in the lat
ter part of 1334, and was elected to a
second term last year. The expeiriance
of the past fifteen years Bhows that in
surrectionsons and revolution are not
necessary conditions in the Mexican's ex
istence, while the record of the country
since 1885 proves that Mexico is not in
capable of an improvement of a highly
and flattering character. Peace and wise
government were all that were needed to
enable the people to develop the marvel
ous natural resorscs which their land
posscses. Peace came in with Diaz's re
cent predecessors; wise government was
assured when Diaz entered on power.
Within the past five yenrs the public
affairs of the country have been managed
with a creditable degree of intelligence,
and a fair amount of success has been
attained. Globe Democrat.

ABOUT FINGER RINGS.
Something About the Customs of the Past
and Present iu Their Use.
TTi5 famous Dr. John Thomas, bishop
of Lincoln in 1753, married three times.
On the occasion of his fourth espousal,
iie p-ut this motto on bis posy ring:
If I survive
I'll make them fire.
Ilistory does not tell us whether the
fourth Mrs. Thomas approved the senti
ment, nor whether the much marrying
bishop lived to carry it out.
Th3 motto rings of today are patterns
of th 3 posy rings of several centuries ago.
The inscriptions are, of course, more
modern, but the sentiment remains the
same. Of late society has gone back to
the real old English posy, and the hands
of our American belles are being adorned
with rings that carry the same mottoes
that graced them in King Hal's time.
There used to be a custom in Rome
which made the bridegroom send the
bride before marriage a ring of iron to
show how lasting the union ought to be,
and the frugality they were to observe
together; but by and by luxury crept in,
and the iron ring was exchanged for one
of gold, which change doubtless delight
ed the Roman ladies.
Numerous superstitions are connected
with the ring. The English and French
ladies of the times of the Crusades slept
with their pillows while their lords and
lovers were away fighting the infidel.
The custom was supposed to produce
pleasant dreams of the absent ones, anc
the rings were believed to bo talismans
of safety. The Scotch lass who looks
through her betrothal ring three times
on the night before her marriage is sure
to see visions of the happiness in store .
for her, and the Greek girl who finds a
ring will marry before the year is out.
The women of the uncivilized countries
adorn their fingers with clumsy rings of
bone and metal. Not satisfied with this,
they wear rings in their ears and through
the no6e. Gypsy women are. fond of
rings, some of which they claim possess
magical powers.
Of course there is nothing in the so
called invisible rings. We are told that
tha famous circlet of Gyges rendered
the wearer invisible when the stone was
turned inward, and that the ring which
Otnit, king of Lombardy, received from
the queen's mother, always directed the
owner the right road to take in traveling.
There is a legend that a knight's daugh
ter once found one of these invisible
rings on the day before her wedding.
Charmed with the beauty of it, she put
it on and wore it to the altar. After the
ceremony she happened to turn the
stone inward, when lo! the prince saw
her vanish, as it were, and rushing from
the palace he was about to throw him
self into the sea, when he was checked
by the bride discarding the ring and
calling him by name. ,
The custom of wearing locks of hair
or pictures in rings has gone out of style.
The poisoned ring is no longer made, for
we have got beyond the days of the Bor
gias and the Medicis. It is generally be
lieved that Ilannibal killed himself with
poison which he had long carried in a
ring made for that purpose, and Demos
thenes is said to have worn a poison
circlet. -
The true romance of the ring is con
nected with the engagement and wed
ding fingers. My lady wears the one
with anticipation and the other with
pride. As long as the world stands the
hoop of gold will possess a significance
which no other personal ornament can
have. T. C. Ilarbaugh in Pittsburg Bul
PIES BY THE MILLION.
FACTORIES
GREAT
THAT PRODUCE THE
AMERICAN STAPLE.
Fruit Peeled. Mlnceuiv't Chopped and
Dough Kolled by Powerful Machinery.
Scores of Ovens Filled with Pies of All
Sizes and Shapes.
Americans are great pie eaters, or have
- the reputation of being such, any way.
For a great many years the consumption
of these savory edibles has been looked
upon as one of our most distinguished
characteristics, and there is no doubt
that there is good ground for this belief.
for there is no place on the globe where
the subject of pie making and pie eating
has received so much attention.
And when it comes to pie eating, New
York city is not behind the rest of the
Union, for it is estimated that in this
city there are consumed daily not less
than 75.000 of these somewhat indigest
ible dainties!
FROM WHENCE COME THEY?
But where do they all come from? Is a
question that is frequently asked.
The majority of them are manufactured
in small bakeries around town, but there
are several concerns, each of . which is
kept going day and night, and produces
from 15,000 to 25,000 pies of all sizes
daily every day of the week, mounting
into millions in the course of a year.
A reporter visited one of these immense
pie factories. It is located on Sullivan
street not a very desirable locality, it
would seem, but the .nterior was as neat
as a pin.
It was surprising to see how every
branch of the business was conducted.
Everything moved along with really au
tomatic precision.
The entire building is divided into sep
arate departments. In one department
the manufacture of mincemeat is carried
on by machinery; in another the fruit is
prepared, while in a third the immense
quantity of dough that is used is made.
The fruit f3 peeled by machinery and cut
by hand.
In the room where the pies are made
there are several long tables at which sev
eral men stand.
The dough is brought to them in large
buckets holding about thirty pounds. A
lump is then put on the table and rolled
.out, cut in small squares and laid on tin
. These plates are then handed
alongtoa mau who Btands ready, with
knife in hand, to shave of !he ends of the
. a i.1 -.4. ,
douErii wmcn nane over uia uut&iue .
the plates. . .
The plates are then placed in rows in a
wooden tray and taken to the fruit coun
ter to receive their "insides." The men
at the fruit counter hold a large wooden
spoon in their hand, and as tho tray comes
before them they supply each pan liber
ally with fruit or sauce, as the case may
be. The plates are then replaced on the
trays and carried to another table, where
they receive the top crust, after which
they are put on an elevator and sent to
the cellar, where they are baked.
There are a half score of ovens in this
place, each of which will hold 400 four
cent pies, or 126 fourteen cent pies. 1 he
four cent pies are retailed at five cents
and the fourteen cent article sells or
twenty cents.
It requires two men to run an oven
one man stands at the door of the ovt-n
and directs his partner where to put tl
next consignment. The man who places
the pies in the oven holds in his hands n
long, shovel like arrangement with
handle fifteen or twenty feet long. The
pies are put on the shovel in couples and
are then put in to bake.
This takes twenty minutes, and when
finished the hot and juicy dainties are re
moved, put in cases and sent to the wag
ons.
FORTY WAGONS HAULING PIES.
There are many other details connected
with the business that have not been
spoken of. For instance, in one depart
ment seven women are employed all day
long washing tin plates, which are dried
by an improved steam apparatus.
The busiest time around the building
is at 3 o'clock, when the hands go to
work. There are not less than one bun
dred and ten people employed in the
factory. They work until 8 o'clock in
the afternoon, and then leave, only to
return at a corresponding hour the fol
lowing morning.
The drivers begin to go out on their
daily rounds at 4:30 o'clock in the morn
ing, and all return by noon, for there is
no salo for pies in the afternoon. It re
quires thirty-five wagons to supply the
company s customers in New xork, Jer
sey City and Brooklyn, and there are
five more wagons in Newark, for New
ark is also a great pie eating district.
There is no doubt but that this is the
largest place of its kind in America. The
manufacture of pies is not confined to
any one size; there are small pies that
sell for 5 cents, medium size that bring
10 cents and the large size that sell for 20
cents.' In addition an immense quantity
of "home made pies, sold at 45 cents
each, are manufactured for the accom
modation of restaurant keepers.
There is every variety of pie, chief
of which are apple, mince, peach, plum,
lemon, cocoanut, rhubarb, pineapple and
custard. Berry pies are made when ber
ries are in season.
To manufacture such an immense
stock it requires not less than 20 barrels
of flour, 1,200 quarts of milk, 8,000 eggs,
3,000 pounds of lard, 12 barrels or about
4,000 pounds of sugar, besides all the
fruit. There is more fruit used in the
composition than anything else, and to
6how how much is used it is only neces
sary to say that twenty barrels of apples
are used every day. Although there are
only about 15,000 or 20,000 of these pies
sold daily the factory cpuld, if necessity
arose, produce 35,000 a day.
But taking the average sales per day,
say 17,500, it makes the weekly produc
tion (allowing six days to the week, for
no work is performed on Sunday) 105,
C00; the monthly 455,000, and the yearly
5,477,500 pies.
And all this from only one pie foundry!
Is it any wonder that the Americans are
a race of dyspeptics? New York Even
ing World. .
