WONDERFUL AUTOMATA.

1t is certain that the ancients attained
some degree of perfection IN the con-
struction of machines which perfectly
initiated the movements Of man and the
hover animals. The tripods which Ho-
mer mentions as having been construct
ed by Vulcan for the banqueting hall of
the gods, advanced of their own accord
To the table and again returned to their
place. Self-moving tripods are also
mentioned by Aristotle. Daedalus en-
joys the reputation of having construct
ed machines that initiated the motions
of the human body. Some of his stat
mes are said TO have moved about spon-
taneously. Aristotle speaks of wooden
Venus, which ran about in consequence
of quicksilver being poured into It's in
terror but another writer states, with
some probability, that the statues of
Daedalus received their motion from
she mechanical powers.
Among the earliest pieces OF modern
mechanicism was the curious water
clock presented to Charlemagne by
Haroun al Rachid. In the dial plate
there were twelve small windows, CORE
sponding with the division OF the hours.
The hours were indicated by the open.

metallic balls, which struck the hour

WHILE New England mill owners are
complaining of small profits, and some
reputed millionaires are having hard
time to struggle along, the cotton mills
of the South pay large dividends. The
Augusta, Ga, cotton mills average over
20 per cent. year; one..at Columbus,
Ga, pays 20 per cent, and the mills Of
Alabama are doing equally well. There
is no reason why the South should not
manufacture the products of the South.
It is a pleasanter country for me-
chanics than New England, and as
Southern manufacturers make larger
profits, they can afford to give better
pay.

The PARACHUTE. - Garnerin, with
whom the idea of descending from a
balloon by means of a parachute orig
mated, made his first trial in 1897.
which was complete success. Mdle.
Garnerin made bet that she would
guide herself in her descent from con-
siderable altitude toward fixed spot on
earth at some distance, with no other
help than the parachute; and actually
guided herself within a few feet of the
specified spot, by simply altering the
inclination of the parachute.

AT Barnum's show, one day, young
husband, the happy father of chubby,
rosy-cheeked baby, was wandering
about the concern, and after while
neared the headquarters of the "Wild
Fiji Cannibals. Holding the aforesaid
offspring in his arms, he stopped to
view these feeders on human flesh. Mr..
Fiji accosted the papa thusly: "Fattee
baby, white man; good eat tender.
Fiji man like him. How muchee price?
Fiji man pay Melikee man dollars"
The Mortified father drew back aghast,
but hastily responded in this wise
" What'll you give, noble savage? ?" Ell
j man give ten dollars. "Too cheap;
worth more but I'll tell you what I'll
do. I've got nice old mother-in-law
at home I'll sell you for five dollars.
She's rather tough eating, but good for
q square meal.

A GOOD DOG.

I'm fond OF that dog?
Well, ought TO be,
For he saved my life,
And il fond OF me.
He knows what I'm saying
There-do you see
He comes and puts
His paw ON my knee
was took with the fever,
And down so low
made mp my mind
had to go;
IL was on the cards,
hadn't no show;
1t was-Pass in your chips,
And goodbye Joe!
That's just where | was
Played out, you may say,
For the doctor left
When my chum run away;
Doctors in them days
Went for their pay;
lay there alone
Not man would stay
Only my dog,
Who sat by my bed,
just where could see him,
And pat his head;
lie felt what / suffered,
Knew what l said,
And wouldn't believe
was almost dead
Day after day,
And night after night,
He sat by my bedside,
Always in sight;
He seemed to know
That my head was light
He ,oOrldnt lie down,
And the dog was right
felt if he did
And think so still
/ should lose my grip
He was my will
He put out the fever,
Broke up the chill
Was something to me
Death could not kill
lead a rough life,
get and l spend,
Pay what borrow,
Lose what / lend
l loved woman
II came to an end;
Get good dog, sir,
You have a friend

is most peEnicious practice. They ste as neces-

ration hence eminent French physicians have
stated, after long series of observations, that
colds taken in summer excite the most incurable

a most efficient guard against these sudden chan

it repels the excessive heat from without: It con-
veys the water Of peFspration to its outside while
the surface next the skin is drier. We all know
that silk, cotton, and linen next the skin get
saturated with water. and il, for an instant, the
slightest draught Of air gets between the skin and
the material there is charnel-like chill when
that material touches the skin again, reminding
us OF the damps Of death. The rule should be TO

The opposition to the proposed purchase Oi
the buildings for a city hospital by the Council,
is general We hear put one opinion expressed
upon the subject and that Is that the building Is
not needed and the expense is a culpable waste
of money. There is not patient to be put In 1t,
and it is really difficult to tell what use 1t will be
put to when it comes into the possession OF the
city. The Council certainly do not mean to keep
a pauper's boarding house, for the entertainment
of such vagrants as are now frequently accom-
modated In the City Hall cells. And yet we
would not be surprised that sSme resort of this
kind was had to make show that IL was Deces-
sary, and thus the expense of poor establish
ment be foist upon us.
