Fifty years ago, says the Cleveland
Herald, steamboats, were unknown; now,
there are 5000 afoat on American waters
alone. In 1900 there was not single rail-
road in the world now, there are 10000
miles in the United States, and about - 900
in America and England. Half century
ago it took some weeks to convey news from
Washington to New Orleans now, not as
many seconds as it did weeks. Fifty years
ago the most rapid printing press was work
ed by hand power; now, steam prints 20, 900
papers an hour on q single press. Now is

~ Wine-making, says one of our ex-
changes, has increased to such an extent
around Cincinnati that wine may be fairly
considered one of our staple productions,
promising still greater results than have
been already manifested. Gentlemen of
capital, connoisseurs, and amateurs, are en-
gagged in the grape culture and wine making
on strict business principles-to make it
pay. Great activity and ambition to excel
mark their. course. No pains are spared,
by experiment, and correspondence the
world over, and by frequent interchange of
opinions, to perfect this branch of rural
economy.

Deg~ An Irishman working in a forge
got particle of hot iron in his eye
He was in great pain, and his suffering
drew some persons about him. Among them
was boy, fourteen years old or so, who
said, with a cool, speculative eye upon the
violent hot face of the man:
"Will you give me half dollar if get
that out of your eyer"
"Hey!" exclaimed the Irishman, taking
him in, with his serviceable optic, "I'n
give you anything-rll give you dollar."
Away the boy ran, and came with mag
net, with which, in about minute, he drew
out the iron atom! Paddy winked his wa
terry eyes, and swore an oath of relief and
gratitude. He then gave the operator the
half dollar.
"Holy Mother" said the poor fellows
