An Abandoned Iron Furnace.
The short article in a Western newspaper
of the past week on the manufacture of iron
end its history, does not mention the many
sbandoned furnaces and works to be found
here and there conveuient to the ore mines
worked many years ago. The traveler in
Pennsylvania especially will stumble across
the rains quite frequpntly. At one place in
the mountains up the "tfononsahela Valiey
is an old furnace that lus not been in use for
upward of TO years. Although at that time
in a clearing, a dense wood has m the inter
vening years grown up about and even in it,
lor right in the center of the inclosing walls,
wlncn were long ago unrooted, stands a
sturdy oak, its gnarled branches reaching
out the window places like the arms of an
uncanny ogre, wtoile the foliaged top rises
t r abot e what is lelt of the entire building.
The structure may remain in the uu
irequented place for many years in its pres
ent condition, as it is built solidly of stone.
In the neighboring ridge exist valuable
eins of ore, waiting ior the time when tho
approach ot railroads will develop the
country. It is the failure to do so, no doubt,
that caused their abandonment in the first
place. Having no facilities, excepting
wagons, to transport tbeir product, the
miners and manuiacturers were compelled to
desert their works. In this instance the
railronds constructed otherwhere mny be
aid to have been a curse. Opening up
other districts and reaching handily other
manufacturer;, these mrnaces ot the wilder
ness, if the tern may be used, were thrown
entirely beyond the pale of competition,
hence their ignomiuous abandonment.
The Order ot St. Andrew.
A singular and significant act in connec.
tion with the alliancecouummjted las t week
between B.ueia and
1'rance is the be
stowal upon Presi
dent Carnot, of the
famous cross of the
Order of St. Andrew,
by the Czar. It is
singular in the re
spect that heretofore
ithas been conferred
only upon members
of the royal family,
g e n e r a 1 s-i n-cbief
and such loreigner
as were of royal Order of SL Andrtw.
extraction, it is significant insomuch as it
represents the importance of the present
alliance, as it is the highest honor in the
gift of the Russian Emperor. The Russian
Order of St. Andrew is not nearly so ancient
as the Scottish order of the same name. It
was founded by Peter tne Great in 160& It
is bestowed on the Empress ot Russia before
Iter coronation and all tne sovereigns ot
Europe, except the Sultan of Turkey are
members oi it. lhe badge ot tne order, one
of the most splendid things ol the kind in
existence, represents an oblique cross, tvpical
of the one on which St. Andrew, the patron
of Russia, met martyrdom. Tne motto is
"For faith and loyalty."
Embalming Process of the Egyptians.
It was announced in The DISPATCH
last wtet that an aged West Virginian
named Hcmricb claims to have discovered
the long-lost embalming process of the
Egyptians. Apropos of this there seems to
be :n idea that no method of preserving the
body as perfectly as did the Egyptians has
ever been learned. This is to some extent
an error. While we inav not know the ex ict
method practiced by the people of the
Pharoahs, enough is known to satisfy most
people. Again, the belief is prevalent th.it
tne Egyptians were the onlyoues to practice
embalming successfully. The North and
South American Indians, several A ncan
and other tribes pres-rved their dead every
bit as well, and in Europe in recent ages
there have been nianv ie.ii irkableeximple.
Edward L was embalmed so well that 463
years after his de.ith Ins remains were 'ound
In excellent condition. Canute, who died
in 1017, was ouud t be weil-preserved as
late as the year 17CG William the Con
queror and hs wife uere quite resh looking
wtie.i exhumed in the xixte-cuth century, and
the bodies ot si-vur.il Rui-un soldiers dis
interred near Aberdee . io tne eleventh cen
tury were as iresli :'iid plump looting as if
they bad been buried but a few months,
although they had realty beeu laid away
for more than 1,509 years.

the article; "People looked upon him ni
insane. He was eccentric, none could gain
say that, and be looked insane as he wMkcd
up and down Main street." Now, Natur
alist Thorean was of a quiet and retiring na
ture, rugged in appearance and eccentric
if yon will; what genius has not been eccen
tric? But he was never insane. The pure,
sweet, well-balanced mind of the man looks
out of the eyes, from the tintype taken of
bim just before his death by Critcherson, of
Worcester, Mass., which the enterpris
ing newspaper has made to do double
duty. It was also reproduced by the Cen
tury, July, 1882, but, in this instance, it
was given its proper origin.
Something Abont Decorations. ,
Apropos ot decorations, so far as known,
there lire 141 different ones in existence.
The oldest is the Order of the Go'lden
Angel, afterward the St. George. Soma au
thorities do not give this order this credit,
but it certainly has the most ancient known
history. St, George is the most popular
naine,there being 12 different orders pos
sessing it. Among the odd names are the
Angelic Knights o Greece; Blood of Christ,
Mantua; the Death's Head (conferred by
Louisa Elizabeth of Saxe-Masburc); Dog
(and Cock, France; Ear of Corn and Ermine,
Brittany; Pools, Cleves; Palm and Alli
gator, Africa, and the Wing of St. Michael,
Portugal. Those who are in the habit of at
tributing St. Bridget to Ireland mav be
surprised to learn that the only order of tha)
name hails from Sweden.
The ordinarv decoration, including the
ribbon, is usually about fonr inches long by
three wide and weighs on nn average abont
balf a pound. Rulers of countries lead, but
still it would be rather difficult to ay who
was the most proluselv decorated man in
Europe. Of both Prince Bismarck and
Count von Moltke it bas been said 'that
either would require a breast 30 feet in
breadth to display their decorations. Out
side of princes of the blood royal, the late
Count Andrassy and, curiously enough, the
station master of a well-known watering
place, were the most decorated men in
Europe. The latter is said to receive an
average of three crosses annually. .
It is not to be supposed that the honored
persons carry about with them everywhere
their decorations that would be impossible
even on occasions of state nut it is the
fashion to carry all of those belonging to a
deceased notable on a pillow behind the
hearse bearing bis body. Of late years the
custom of giving minor crosses bas become
so prevalent that they are not considered
such an honor as formerly. To what lib
eral extent it has been carried in the past
may be gathered from the fact that the en
voy of a certain European kingdom used to
pay his bills with decorations.
One of France's Great Men.
M. Eouvier, the Finance Minister of
France, has again shown himself to be s.
courageous and cap
able man. It is
owing almost en
tirely to his efforts
that the Bank of
France came to the
rescue of the So
ciete des Depots
just at the moment
when the latter was
on the verge of a,
crash. In the same
manner be tided
the Bank of Eng
land over a danger
ous shoal last autnmn. Had he not pursued
the course he did, and either of the above
mentioned institutions failed, there is hardly
ary limit to the effect such a catastrophe
would have hid on the world's finnncer.
Br the way, Eouvier is the man who in
France a few years since was termed "President-maker,
"owing to the important part he
had taken in the election of the present
executive oi that country. He is yet a
young man, but of wide and favorable rep
utation on account of his extraordinary
ability as a statesman and financier. He is
one man of ontemporary France whose
career will bear watching. He will be
heard from in the future, being very popu
lar with all classes in his native land.
Meters tor the Water S apply.
In England they are beginning to use
meters for measuring the water supply. It
is stated that large manufacturers in some
districts, have gauged their supnly by this
method for some years past, but now private
consumers are to be compelled to adopt the
same method, as it is claimed the rates can
be more justly divided by bo doing. How
ever, the consumers do not view tbe matter
in the same light, for a loud howl or pro
test has been raised throughout tbe land,
tbe chief argument being that tbe effects to
economize wonld result in nucleanliuess
and a a natural consequence, an increased
death rate. If the same method of measur
ing the water supply were to be adopted in
Pittsburg, and the meter should have any
of the characteristics of another piece of
mechanism of the same kind, with which
the people have bad considerable experience
recently, it would be reasonably sale to pre
dict a cholera epidemic or illness of like
nature in the near future. Citizens would
be compelled to wash, if they ever did so,
in a thimble; scrub the yard or pavement
with a tooth brush, and as for clean linen,
most persons would no doubt adopt tbe
manners attributed to the early gold-seekers,
who purchased s shirt and wore it without
change until it dropped off. WlLKIE.

WITH THE TEACHERS,
A Change Hade in tbe Programme
for the State Meeting.
THE fiAYAGES OF LA GRIPPE.
1 Decision of the Free Text Book Question
to Be Hade This Week.
B0N0E LIST OF TBE GRAMMAR BOSKS
Principal H. W. Fisher. Chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Teachers' State
Association, bas called a meeting of the
committee for to-morrow at Bedford. Su
perintendents Brumbaugh, of Huntingdon;
Walton, of Chester; Hull, of Lincaster;
Prof. H. W. Fisher and Miss Elizabeth
Loyd, of Newtown Square, comprise tbe
committee. It had almost put the finishing
touches on tbe programme for the meeting
next July, but the death of ex-Superintendent
or Public Instruction J. P. Wlckersbam last
Thursday necessitates an entire change ot pro
gramme. One-naif day will be devoted to
memorial exercises In the ex-Superintendent's
honor. He was on tbe original programme for
an address on tbe "Educational Advantages of
State Associations."
Tbe alumni ot tbe Millersrille State Normal
School, of which Mr. Wlckersbam was Principal
prerico to his 16 years service as Superintend
ent ot Public Instruction, bad another pro
gramme arranged as a great surpnse for Mr.
wicLersham. The alumni ot tbe Normal
Scbool was to have a zrand reunion in Mr.
Wickersbam's honor on July 18, and present
btm wttb a silver tea set. Tbe occasion was bis
marriage to a lady in Lancaster, wbich was to
take place next August,
Tbe following are the names of tbe pupils

In resnonse to the circulars sent ont by
Superintendent Luckey to tbo teachers regard
ing membership of tbe Teachers' Library,
probably 400 have signified their intention of
becoming members. As tbere was so accom
panying dollar to each signature it is not by
any means assured that they will Join,
alttiongb teachers' word is supposed to be as
good as their bond. A principal relates a funny
Incident in bis experience a short time ago:
While assisting a County Superintendent to
examine a lot of teachers tbe question was
asked. " hat educational books have you read
during tbe year to help you in your profes
sional worfcT" Tbe written reply of one
teacher was: "The Wild, Wild West" and
"Lucy's Mistake" and this answer was re
ceived In Pennsylvania.
Mis A. B. Cimpbell, of tbe Shakespeare
school. Liberty district, bas resigned, to enter
tbe sea ot matrimony.
Yesterday's pay roll for the teachers amounted
to $39,408 23, which Is less than that ot last
month. It is estimated that over SO teachers
bare been absent from one to three days
with la grippe. Tbe substitutes employed,
of course, received less salary than the
regular teachers, wbich accounts for tbe de
creased pay roll this month. The scbool re
ports for the month of March show a big de
crease, and "this is la grippe month" prefaced
many a report as tbe reason of the decrease.
Tne Wbittier building not only suffered from
the common malady, but tbere was trouble
over the beating of tbe bnllding, whether due
to the shortage-of gas or to the furnace the di
rectors do not know.
The High Scbool Committee of tbe Central
Board of Education will bold its regular meet
ing Friday night. In all likelihood no steps
will be taken ibis year to formally fill tho posl
tion of teacher of history, occupied by the late
Miss Simpson, and which during her illness,
was filled by a substitute. As the examina
tions are now in progress at the High schools,
matters will run as nsual till tbe annual elec
tion of teachers for tbe High School.
TbepunilsoftheTbad Stevens cnooigave
entertainments Friday night, yesterday after
noon and last night. Tbeir object is to get
funds for tbeir annual picnic. Ibe entertain
ment was a creditable affair.
Miss Ella C. Edwards, of -North Braddock,
bas been elected to take charge of Room 1.
lately occupied by Miss L. Gardner, of the
Howard School.
OwlDgto moving day and the ravages of la
grippe tbe Pittsburg teachers will spend their
Easter vacation at home. Mis Jennie Ralston,
principal of the Normal School; Miss M.
J. Graham, principal of tbe Grant, and tbe
Misses Sean and Jenkins, of the High bchool,
departed Friday evening to enjoy tbe balmy
breezes at -Atlantic City . Miss if. L Grerea,
of tbe Grant, will be at Easton.
Tbe mother of Miss Carr, of tbe Lawrence
School, died yesterday morning. She was ill
but two or three days wltb the grip. Her
death was very unexpected.
Tbe Text Book Committee of tbe Central
Board of. Education will bave a meeting during
tbe week, when it will decide whether Pitts'
burg sball bave free text books or not. The
Central Board will subsequently consider the
report. This Is the most Important question
that bas agitated Pittsburg's educational
circles in years. Ihe Sterrec. School is tbe
pioneer In this direction, having since Septem
ber last been supplying the children of the dij.
trict with free text books. The action of the
Legislature on tbe free text book quistlon
will likely influence the decision of the Pitts
burg Text Book Committee.
An Editor's Experience With the Grip.
Fom tbe Kimball, S. D Graphic
While tbe columns of the Graphic are
open to any and all unobjectionable adver
tisements, yet it is quite impossible for us to
speak knowingly of the merits of the vari
ous articles of merchandise advertised.
Particularly is this true of patent medicines.
But tbere are exceptions occasionally, and a
noteworthy exception is the celebrated
Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy. This now
universally known medicine has been ad
vertised in tbe Graphic for four or five
years, but not until recently had we any
personal knowledge of its wonderful efficacv,
wbich has come abont through the prevail
ing influenza and the stubborn cough that
has so often attended it. In the writer's
family this medicine has on several occa
sions this winter cured a rough that baffled
any and all other remedies; and the number
of families in Kimball and vicinity in
wbich this remedy has been used with like
effects attests to its value as a specific for
coughs and colds of every nature. wsa
