1t Seems that Gov. Allen, him
self, has doubts concerning the re-
suit in Ohio. When asked, the
other day, what his honest, private
opinion is he scratched his head
and thoughtfully replied: "Well,
there is a division of opinion about
that among our own people. The
lowest estimate gives us 10000 ma
jOrity, and they range from that all
the way up to 10000"

Opposition to Great Invention.

Tradition says that John Faust, one OF the
three inventors of printing, was charged with
multiplying books by the aid of the devil
and was prosecuted both by the priests and
the people. The strongest opposition to the
press, has, however, been presented in Tur-
key. The art of printing had existed three
hundred years before printing. press was
established in Constantinople. From 1926
to 1740 that press issued only twenty three
volumes. II was then stopped, and did not
resume its issues until after an interval Of
more than forty-years. About 1850 press
was established at Soutari, and between 1850
and 1907 issued forty volumes Again its
operations were suspended, and were not re-
sumed until 1920, since which time it hap
worked more industriously than heretofore,
although fettered with the paternal oversight
of the Turkish government.
The ribbon loom is an invention of the
sixteenth century; and on the plea that it
deprived many wOrkmen of bread, it was pro
hibited in Holland, in Germany, in the do
minions of the church, aud in other countries
of Europe. At Hamburg the council or
dered loom to be publicly burned. The
stocking doom shared the fate of the ribbon,
loom. In England the patronage of Queen
Elizabeth was requested for the invention,
and it is said that the inventor was impeded
rather than assisted in his undertaking. In
France opposition to the stocking loom was
of the most base and cruel kind. A French.
man who had adopted the invention, menu
featured by the loom pair of silk stockings
for Louis XIV. There were presented to
the French monarch. The parties, however,
who supplied hosiery to the court caused
several Of the loops of the stockings to be
cut, and thus brought the stocking loom into
disrepute at head quarters.
Table forks appear 80 necessary part of
the furniture of the dinner table that one
can scarcely believe that the tables of the
sixteenth century were destitute of them.
They were not, however, introduced until the
commencement of the seventeenth century,
and then were ridiculed as superfuouS and
effeminate, while the person who introduced
them to Europe was called Furcifer. They
were invented in Italy, and brought thence
to England; napkins being used in this coun-
try by the polite, and fingers by the multi
tude.
The saw-mill was brought into England
from Holland in 1868; but its introduction
so displeased the English that the enterprise
was abandoned. A second attempt was then
made at Limehouse, and the mill was erected;
but soon after its erection it was pulled down
by mob.
Pottery is glazed by throwing common
salt into the oven at certain stage of the
baking. This mode of baking was intro.
duced into this country in 1890 by two
brothers, who came to Stafordshire from
Nuremberg Their success and their secrecy
SO enraged their neighbors that they were
compelled to give up their works. J
