There is no town in this county where
better judges of newspapers exist than In
Seneca. They are obstinate, too, in their
choice of newspaper publications. You
approach a Seneca man with the request
that he' "take a paper," and if he says no!
he says it in such a gentlemanly, plain, un
mistakable manner, that " he who runs
may read," and an attempt to change his
opinion, would be " laboring with an ener
gy born of dispalr." It is this forethought
and self sustaining capability of judging
tor themselves that has caused almost the
entire population of Seneca to subscribe
for the Free Tuader. We allude to it In
a modest way to save the other county pa
pers the trouble of noting the fact.

" A dozen years ago, and more, when the
Orange wan growing rapidly in membership,
it attracted public tttention became of it
possible influence in business afi'nirs and
in politics. Many persons viewed the move
went with uneasy apprehension, for they
feared that it wiild overturn established
order and o become a diHturber. Later there
was cessation of growth and men wise in
their own conceit said, " It has had its day ;
it will soon he auioug the things that were
but are not." Fears and predictions were
wrong, Today the (Irange is a silent force,
working beneficently in the interest of order,
peace and the welfare of a people engaged in
honest industries that thrive best when di
rected by intelligence. In no instance has it
been a disturber. Its influence in politics is
greater now than ever before, but it is not
partisan nor can it be used to promote the
success of schemes devised by poKticium.
Without doubt its early growth was too
rapid. It gathered within its ranks persons
who because at onoe an element of weakness,
heme that retardation that for a time gave
rise to of staple crops and large purchases
and for State legislation; and beyond that he
should in some manner co-operate with the
farmers of the entire nation to seoure just
and equitable laws whereby he and the whole
public may be protected. Thus the found.
ation for the business is secured and made
permanent.
"Iam aware that thus far I have talked

the subject here, as many have often done
who insist upon reform, but offer no plans by
which to carry it out. Forebodings and

faithful worker. The purifying process
had begun and it never stopped, until the

CAMEO CUTTING.
DESCRIPTION OF A PROCESS GEN
ERALLY LITTLE UNDERSTOOD.
Two KimU of Cmo Trvat inent ot
Slirlla am! Stone. The lloiiml Ciiwlt'od
onou IVbbln of ltrutll MetlunL of the
"Colorer" Thi iUigratrr.
Cameos are of two kinds tin cut in
stone, or in pietra dura, and those cut op.
molluxk shulK The latter ore found ohit'tiy
on the African and ltnuiliun cixixt. They
show, as a rule, two layers ft le coffee
color, or deep rod and white. They uro clas
sified in the trade as the Hull's Mouth, the
Block Helmot, and the Queen's Conch. The
first has a red or sardonyx inner coat, the
second a blackish ground and the third a
pink ground. The first are found mostly
at Madugascur and Ceylon, and the second
at Jamaica, Nassau and Now Providence.
They are formed of three distinct layers of
calcareous matter, and their joculinr struct
ore, while it affords the greatest protection
to the animal, serves also to give the cutter
a secure foundation for his work.
Dctrigns upon shell cameos, which are very
much softer than stone cameos, may be
effected by the process necessary in the treat
ment of the latter. Or, whon tbo shell
yields readily, the eutU'r does not resort to
the engine, but, having drawn an outline
upon the prepared ground, cuts away from
it as the wood engraver does, with tools care
fully made for this particular industry. They
are files and gravers. The tool most used is
flat on side and round on tbo other, and
serves therefore either as a gougo or chisel.
Of Sicilian origin, the manufacture of bhell
cameos was carried from Italy to Paris; aud
more than ono half tho output of tho lapi
daries goes to England and is thence sent to
the United States. The shell cameo is, of
course, inferior, both in durability and ar
tistic quality, to the stou-) cumeos, which
enable ths engraver to givn considerable
relief and remarkable fidelity to any design
which may be placed upon them.
Tho prizo stones are thoso which show four
or five distinct layers of different colors.
Thus, for a heroic head, the fuco would lie in
tho lightest color, the helmet dark, the crest
a shado lighter, and tho ground gray. Art
ists like to cut a Medusa on stones having a
red layer, so as to use that snath on tho
snakes. The stones now in fnvor lire thoso
showing layers of black and white of equal
breadth, before a process of coloring wus
found or refound, rather, for it is now
known to havo been in use anil lost in uu
tiquity Herman agatcsof two shades of gray
wero much in demnud, and many beautiful
designs were engraved upon them. Very fow
cameos seeu iu jewelers' cases confess to tho
careless observer that their benut if ul colors
and high polish ore clue more to chemistry
than to nature. Tho coloring process is very
curious.
Tho round chalcodonons pebble is tho orig
inal stone cameo. Ln Brazil it is found iu
river beds. At Oberstein it is found under
the rocks that ore tho great ribs of the high
formntiou, and it lies freely also in the
ground like flint stones in chalk. From tho
mills of Oberstein and Mar the lapidaries of
the world are supplied. When the pehlde is
first tested the. trier breaks off a small bit
and moistens the fragment with his tongue.
He watches keenly the rapidity with which
the moisture is absorbed and whether the
absorption is in bauds, and in one band more
rapidly than in another. Thus be conject
ures its capacity to receive color. The ily
ble may be nothing but what w call agate;
but chemistry is going to inuke it onyx or
sardonyx. 15y its sensitiveness to moisture
he rates its commercial value, nud then it
goes not to the engraver but to the slitting
mill, where its roughness is ground off, and
it is cut so as to bring the " Into stratum or
layer uppermost. Then it is ground with
emery and polished with water and rotten
stone on a pewter lap.
It goes next to the colorer. lie immerses
it in honey and water, and for several weeks
it is kept in its bath at a temperature just
below boiling. When done it is tranufcrred
to another tub, and covered with sulphuric
acid heated to l!oO or 400 dogs. After ten
hours it is finished. It goes next into clean
water and is dried in an oven. After polish
ing it lies iu oil, which rcmoes tho nppcar
anco of flaws nnd adds to the brilliancy of
tho polii.li. liran removes the oil. The so
crets of the coloring havo never lnt-n fully
understood, and tho ojicnition of tho various
influences is uncertain. It is taken for
granted that the honey invades tho jiores and
is carbonized by tho sulphuric acid. Tho do
position of tbo carbon increases tbo color of
each baud which tho honey has permeated.
If tho color of the stone is uniform through
out it is natural; if it has been chemically
heightened or produced by sulphuric acid,
which makes tho black ground, or nitric
acid, which produces tho carnelian ground,
the color will be found on examination
Biqierficial and uneven. Only export can
detect pure chalcedony from colored agates.
If a portrait is to bo engraved upon the
stone, many artists prefer first to make the
model in wax and prove it in plaster, as tho
engraver of old tested the design he intended
to put in enamel upon gold. The model
ing accepted, and tho stono selected of tbo
size and strata desired, it is placed upon a
cork and leather handle, which holds it so
firmly that it will not be displaced in the
slightest degree by the action of the engine.
Then the artist's tusk actually begins. The
slightest error of eye, the least infirmity of
hand, and the failure is complete. The en
graver and etcher apply a sharp instrument
to the ground, upon which they operate.
The cameo engraver applies the ground to a
sharp instrument, which does the cutting,
and which, in Amsterdam, in tbo diamond
factories, is run by steam power.
The engine is a miniature lathe head. It
stands on a solid table before the engraver,
and it is confronted by rows of small iron
tools, soma of which look like little wheels
on the ends of iron stems ; and most of them
like dentists' tools of half the common
length. A microscope would bo necessary
to discover that the smallest of them ends in
a disc; for some of the discs are less than the
one hundredth port of an inch in diameter.
These little, wheels are the cutters on the
cameo ground. They receive a touch of oil
and diamond dust just before the oieration
commences; and the diamond dust cuts while
the oil poshes. The artist must change
tbem frequently, according to tho depth of
the incision, the nature of the grain, and the
direction of tho line. His training must,
therefore, be slow and accurate, his eye true,
and his sense of form developed into micros
copic exactness. Many sculptors prefer the
training for cameo portraiture as an invalu
able irt of their education. St. Caudens
was a cameo cutter. Chicago Tribune.

A Scientific and Accurate Pmcrlptloa

Another prominent (American)author
Ity ascribes pneumonia to an excess of
ozone, ozone Ixdng produced by passage
of electricity in tho air.
A distinguished American physician
tells the New York Triburui that the prev
alence of pneumonia indicates the uni
versality of auric-acid condition of the
b'.iod, sudden chills ulways being char
acteristic effects of too much acid, of
one sort and unotber.
The disease, us M. Jaccoud observes, is
undoubtedly in the Mood, but if in the
form of permanent microbes or germs,
these germs must be developed by the
uric-acid condition of the blood. Indeed,
they cannot presumably exist in alka
line blood. I'ric acid is tho name for the
waste matter of the system, which the
kidnevs, through evident though unsus
pected impairment, have not been able to
filter from '.be blood, the filter being
foul ami stopped up in many of its little
hair-like tubes.
The Tribune' authority says that pneu
monia is a secondary disorder, the ex
posure and co'.d being simply the agents
which develop the disease, already dor
mant in the system, because the kidneys
have been but'partially doing their duty.
In short, pneumonia is but mi early indi
cation of a bright's diseased condition.
This impaired action may exist for years
without the patient suspecting it, because
no pain will be felt iu the kidneys or
their vicinity, and often it can be de
tected only by chemical affd microscopi
cal OMnninaii'ons. Nearly 1.10 of the 740
deaths in New York city the first, week
in a recent March, and in six weeks 781
deaths, were caused by pneumonia alone.
If one lias occasional chills and fever,
a tendency to colds iu the throat and
lungs, rheumatic and neuralgic pains, ex
treme tired feelings, short breath and
pleuritic stitches in the side, los of ftp
petite, back ache, lie rv mis' un rot scald
ing sensations or scant nnd discolored
lliiids, hciirt Ibittcrings, sour stomach,
distressed look, puffy eye sacs, hot and
dry skin, loss of strength ami virility,
pneumonia is likely to strike him down
any day, and his recovers will be doubt
ful". These indications in;' not appear to
gether; they may come, disappear and re
appear, forycars, the person not realiz
ing that they are nature's warnings of
coming calamity.
The disease is very quick-acting and If
the accompanying kidney disorder Is
very far advanced, recovery Is impossi
ble, for the kidneys give out entirely, and
the patient is literally suffocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumo
nia Is to maintain a vigorous condition
of the system and thus prevent attacks,
by using whatever will radically and ef
fectually icslorc full vitality to the kid
neys, and for this I here is nothing equal
to Warner's sale cure. If the kidneys
arc not sound pneumonia cannot be pre
vented. This reined v is known to mil
lions, used, probably, by hundreds of
thousands all over the globe, and com
mended as a standard specific wherever
known and used. It docs not pretend to
cure an attack of pneumonia, hut it docs
remove the cause of and prevent that
disease if taken in lime.
When a physician says bis patient has
either bright's disease or pneumonia, ho
confesses his inability to cure, ami in a
measure be considers his responsibility
ended, ln many instances, indeed, per
sons are reported as dying of pneumo
nia, heart disease, apoplexy and convul
sions, when the real cause of ileal h, and
go known by the physicians, is this kid
ney consumption. Thousands of people,
have it without knowing it, and perish of
it because their physicians will not tell
them the facts.
The same destiny awaits every one
who will not exercise bis judgment in
such a matter and be true to himself, his
family and to society.
