COnd dcnscd History Of Steam.

About $50 years 8. c., Hego of
Alexandria formed a toy which eNhib-
tied some OF the powers of steam, and
was moved by its power.
A. D., $50, Au,hemius, an architect,
arranged several cauldrons OF water,
each covered with the wide bottom OF
leather tube, which rose to narrow
top, with pipes extending to the ratters
OF the adjoining building. A fire was
kindled beneath the cauldrons and the
house was shaken by the efforts OF the
steam ascending the tubes. This is
the first notice of the power Of steam,
of which we have any record.
1913, June II, Blasco u. Garoy tried
a steamboat OF 200 tons with tolerable
good success, at Barcelona, in Spain.
1t consisted OF cauldron OF boiling
water, and movable wheel on each
side OF the ship. 1t was laid aside as
impracticable. A present, however,
was made Garoy.
In 1850, the first railroad was con.
structed at Newcastle on the Tyne.
The first idea OF steam engine in
England was in the Marquis OF Win
chester's History of Invention" a. d.
1868.
In 1710 Newcomer made the first
engine in England
In Ills patents were granted Savary
for the first application OF the steam
engine.
In TIA James Watt made the first
perfect steam engine in England.
In 1886 Jonathan Hull set forth the
idea OF steam navigation.
In ITS Thomas Paine first proposed
this application in America.
In 17sl Marquis Jouffroy construct
ed one on the Saonc.
In 1856 two Americans published a
work on it.
In 1898 William Lymington made a
voyage in one on the Forth and Clyde
Canal.
In 1902 this experiment was repeat
cd.
In 1882 Ramsey propelled boat by
steam at New York.
In 1877 John Fitch, of Philadelphia,
navigated boat by steam engine on
the Delaware.
In 1893 Robert Fulton first began
to apply his attention to steam.
In 1873 Oliver Evans, native of
Philadelphia, constructed locomotive
steam engine to travel on a turnpike
road
The first steam vessel that crossed
the Atlantic was the Savannah, in the
month of June. 1919, from Charles
ton to Liverpool.-[Ex.

SroRE Ut Coon WHILE YET YE MAY
A father once related to his children the
following parable: "The viceroy Of a
certain island wa once summoned by his
lord, the king, to render an account of
his government These of his friends
on whom he had placed the greatest re
lance, suffered him to depart, and did
not move from their place; Others in
whom he had greatly confded, went with
him only as far as the ship; but some in
whom he had scarcely trusted at all, ac-
oompanied him to the kings throne,
spoke in his favor, and obtained for him
the graces Of the king"
The children could not understand who
these friends could be- Their father,
therefore, said: Man, also, has three
kinds Of friends on earth; which, how
ever, for the most part, he does not learn
to know rightly till the time when he is
called from this world to give account of
his actions and omissions. The first
class Of those friends, wealth and posses
sions, remain behind. The second, his
relations, accompany him only to the
grave The third, his good deeds, fol-
low him into eternity, even to the throne
Of God, where it will be rendered to each
according to his works, and where even
the cup of cold water which is givsn to
one who thirsts will not go unrewarded. -
This, my dear children, is the meaning
Of the parable | have told you, every act
Of kindness, and charity, and of unselfsh
good will, toward your fellow creatures,
will 60 with you when you die, to plead
Tor you with your Heavenly Father.

How Coon FARMERS SAVE MONEY -
They take good papers anu read them.
They keep account Of farm operations.
They do not leave their implements scat.
tered over the farm, exposed to snow, rain
and heat.
They repair Their tools and buildings at
proper time, and do not suffer subse-
quent three field expenditure of time and
money. They use their money judiciousy.
and they do not attend auction sales to
purchase all kinds Of trumpery because it
is cheap.
They sec that their fences are well re-
paired, and they see that their cattle are not
grazing in the meadows or grainfolds or
orchards.
They do not refuse to make correct ex-
periments in a small way Of many new
things.
They plant their fruit trees we'll, care for
them, and ci course get good crops.
They practice economy by giving their
stock good shelter during the winter; also
good food, taking all that is unsound. half
rotten or mouldy out.
They do not keep tribes Of eats or snarl-
ing dogs around their premises, who eat
more in month than they are worth in a
lifetime
Lastly they read tho advertisements
knew what is going on. and frequently
save money byis.
Successful farming is made by attention
10 little things. The farmer who does best.
earns his money with best results Such
men are the salt Of the earth. Il /. Farm

The Labor Congress-.

CINCINNATI, August 20.-The Labor Con-
gress took up the platform rs proposed by
tue committee, which was adopted. The
committee then took up the resolution to
inaugurate new and distinct party, to be
called the National Labor Reform party.
After considerable debate the resolution
Was adopted.
Mr.. Nelson, of Missouri, offered reso-
luton, which was adopted, recommending
the members Of all Labor Unions to with
draw their support from all papers that are
not friendly to the labor movement.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
ing were adopted
Urging all industries to make common
cause against unprincipled capitalists and
to unite with them to elect nell TO office to
represent the interests Of the whole coun-
try tavoring the reduction of the army to
the lowest standard, declaring there are
evidences of military officers influencing
legislation; asking the cooperation OF CO.
lored citizens; pronouncing against forcing
citizenship upon Indians and the manage
ment of indian affairs urging protection
to our merchant shipping and our own
Shipbuldcrs asking that women shall have
equal wages with men, and that women ana
children should be protected against over
work; that houses Of refuge and correction
be abolished, and schools of reform substi-
tuted; for the reduction of the hours of
labor, and that able bodied men should
work for their support.
Two additional resolutions from the Plat
form Committee were adopted, declaring in
favor of the establishment OF bureau of
labor at Washington, and that money for
carrying on war be assessed upon wealth,
and not made burden to posterity.
The resolutions in regard to prohibiting
coolie importation were adopted.

The latest railroad horror impels us once
more to inquire why, even from selfish con- OF!
sideratlons, railroad companies are not IN
duced TO adopt measures OF absolute pre-
vention against accidents like. the last:
There is no excuse for the precipitation OF
a train down deep embankment., Let the
entertainments be walled up with rough
stone to height Of say four feet above the
level of the track Ne,c York Tribune.
This suggestion is equal to that of the
French queen, who upon being told that
the people were starving because they
couldn't get bread, asked why they didn't
eat cake. A million of dollars mile in
some places would not pay for constructing
railroad after the Tribune's model. Surely
some means should be resorted to to pre-
vent these dreadful accidents, but not the
plan suggested by the Tribune. Embark
ments and trestle-work of such immense
height might generally be avoided by
frightening the routes very little.
