The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1875-05-28
A Youthful Genius.

A youthful inventor lately came to tenn
porary grief in Dubuque. Geo. X.
Thompson is lad of ID, and has already
dedicated his life to machinery. His
father has given him a corner of his
warehouse in the third story, and there
little George spends his time and brains
upon inventions. He has as yet pro-
duced nothing new, but shows wonderful
talent in construction and combination.
The other day he made a noise in Du-
buque. There was an explosion in the
building and it was in little George
Thompson's corner. 1t shook the house
like an earthquake, and there was some
anxiety felt for the safety of the youthful
machinist. He was found to be safe,
however, amid the wrecks of his labor
atory and machine-shop. A boiler he
had constructed out of tin cans had ex-
ploded. That was all. He had been
tampering too recklessly with the forces
of nature and nature had given him fair
warning that was all. Probably little
Geo. X. Thompson was spared to make
a still bigger noise in the world.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1875-05-28
Sweeping Neatly.

1t is surprising how few understand
this daily necessity, and in consequence
it has become great dread, not only to
housekeepers themselves, but the entire
family.
Its object is to remove dirt and dust,
and not raise it in the air to settle again
over everything. There are various
ways for its accomplishment many are
good, but of course can only give you
mine, which is rs follows, choosing the
family sitting-room for my illustration
The time, before breakfast if possible,
if not, after the children are off to school,
and your gentlemen at their various
places of business.
/. Protect your head from the dust,
and your hands with pair of old gloves.
2. Pick up everything that is out of
place ; remove table covers !; cover your
lounge or sofa with sheet, and other
articles that you can.
B. Take your dust-pan and broom, re-
moving the litter round the stove, work
table, and plant-stand.
4. Open at least two windows or doors,
move all articles from the wall, and af-
ter making the corners and edges of
your carpets clean, put each article III It's
place. Then take up carefully all the
dust you have dislodged, and then pro
coed with the center of the room. Do
not throw your broom high, but let your
motions be quiet, as well as thorough.
After the dust has well settled, begin
to dust, taking your stove, mantels, and
most exposed points first; then remove
covers, and with feather buster (mine is
a nice wing, make your window sashes,
door holdings, and picture frames tidy.
AS the finishing is essential, L dampen
my broom, by sprinkling with my hand
with clear water, and dust my carpet by
a few delicate passes over it.
After many years of experiment, l
have adopted the above for my Monday S
sweeping, and find, with little care the
remainder of the week, keeps home at
least comfortable-Cor. Country Gentle
man.

A Highly Magnetic Lghtning-Rod
Peddler.

He drove his team close up to the
fence, got down and raped at the door.
The Widow Gilkens opened it, when he
said 90 Mrs. Gilkens, am cognizant OF
the circumstances by which you are
at present surrounded, left as your are
to trudge down the journey of life
through cold and heartless world-no
longer sustained and encouraged by the
noble one to whom you gave the treas
ures of your hearts affection, and bowed
down by the manifold cares and respon-
sibiities incidental to the rearing of
eight small children on forty acres of
observation-disclosures limestone land; yet,
Mrs. Gilkens, you are aware that the
season is now approaching when dark,
dismal, dangerous clouds at frequent in
tervals span the canopy OF heaven and
when zigzag streaks of electricity dart
promiscuously hither and thither, rem
dering this habitation unsafe for your
self and those dear little ones-hence,
therefore, let me sell you copper wire,
silver-tipped and highly magnetic light
ming rod"
The woman staggered back few
PAGES and yelled "Narcis! unfasten old
Cronch!" In another instant savage
bulldog came darting round the corner
OF the house with bristles up, thirsting
for gore. The dog had already mangled
machine agent and patent soap-man,
and was held in great esteem by the
better class of citizens for his courage
and service; but when his eve met the
hard, penetrating gaze of Mr.. Parsons,
his chops fell and he slinked off and hid
in the currant bushes. Then the man
said My lady, you seem to be little
excited. "Now if you will allow me to
explain the probable inestimable-
81 know something that will start ye,"
said Mrs. Gilkens, as she reached under
some bed clothing and brought forth a
horse-pistol, but, owing to the shattered
condition Of her nerves, her aim was un-
steady, and the charge of buckshot
missed, save where few scattered ones
struck his cheek and glanced off, A
hard metallic smile spread over his coun-
tenace, as he leaned his shoulder against
the door frame, and again commenced:
My dear madame, such spasmodic
manifestations of your Discrimination to
make judicious Investment of few
paltry dollars
Hi-eo!" shrieked the widow, and
collapsed into kind of jerking swoon,
and before she had recovered highly
magnetic lightning decorated her
humble domicile, and Parsons had the
blank note filled out all ready for her
signature. -Modison (Ind.) Courier.

A Rumseller's Device.

A retired liquor dealer at Rutland, Vt,
has explained an invention by which he
was often enabled to evade the officers of
the law. 1t consists of tin case, hold
ing about three quarts, about two feet in
diameter and an inch thick, and curved
to fit the body. This was fastened by q
belt around the waist and worn beneath
the clothes in front, where it was entire
ly unnoticeable. To small opening at
the bottom was attached a rubber tube,
coming out through hole in the pocket,
and the vender could, at any time, draw
glass of whiskey from that receptacle.
It was first made use of on the fair
ground, and was found very convenient
afterward. The owner says he has sat at
his door and sold liquor while the officers
were searching his premises within.

Another Fool Anxious to Break His
Neck

Yesterday morning Mr.. J. r. Weston,
assisted by Mr.. Sam. Hall, completed the
difficult and perilous undertaking of
from the top of the cross surmounting
the spire of Holy Trinity Church, on
Fifth street, near Smith. Mr.. W. H.
Andrews, who, on the evening previous
undertook the task, was not able to get
above the large ball, just under the
cross, where he fixed the flag and came
down. Mr.. Weston went up yesterday
morning, before breakfast, and planted
the colors on the pinnacle, 264 feet
above the ground. He is a man of
nerve. Reaching a point under the big
globe, he dextrously threw a rope around
the foot of the cross above and twisting the
two ends of the rope into one, scaled this
