stopping the Noise.


The following. Associated Press dis
patch was sent Ir1,na New York uThe
Metropolitan elevsted railway ia PACK
ing it's rails with sand. tar and cotton to
lessen the noise, having paid Mrs. Wal.
ton, the inventor, $40 900 Tor the inyen-
ton. She is aboarding house keeper in
this city"
And hereby depends tale. Mr. Har-
rvs. Davis, naive Of Oswepo, but now
engaged in business in New York, boards
with Ms. WaIton. ona lazy summer
day last season Frs. Walton asked him
ii he didn't want 10 make speculation,
and proceedesst te unfold plan for dead
ening the noi=e q the elevated railroad.
She related tn when little girl her
fathers rouse ws sitnated in the same
block via. = Sc sssp W Which ssl : be- E;
plicstiou OF the residents in that locality,
he was ordered to removS his shop. Her
father went to the blacksmith and told
MIN that he could fix him 80 he needn't
move. Thereupon he plac. The anvils
in box filed with sand and other mate>
risls, the blacksmith closed up his doors,
the noise ceased, and it was a couple OF
weeks before the neighboIhood knew the
smith had not moved out.
She then disclosed to .Jr. Davis plan
for enclosing the guard rail of the ele-
waited roads in a box filed with sand
tar and cotton. Mr.. Davis procured 8
caveat, showed the invention TO The
Metropolitan elevated railroad company
and they applied it TO a couple of blocks
or their track. a short time later the
company represented that they had pre-
viously discovered the same method, anC
it was found that tney had filed a cavea
subsequent to Mr.. Davis. He thereupoI
filed notice of interference. SuLse-
quently an arrangement WAS reached
whereby the company covenanted t.
adopt the patent, protect it from Ltiga
tion, pay $1,000 down. another 81, ,O0'
when it should be applied to mile o
their track, and another when 1t shoulC
be applied on the entire lire, and Mrs
Walton to have half the income from 81
application to other roads. Mr. Davis
we understand, is entitled to halt OF tn
moneys derived from the introduction
on the Metropolitan and hall OF Mrs
Walton's interest in the royalty, or
quarter of the royalty. The inventor
is said to work like a charm, and vii
probably be in demand Tor all elevatet
roads. Edison experimsnted 'or SOM
time to devise way TO stop this kind o
noise and gave up the attempt.

his eyes were cut bias, and his head
placed further away from the end

by the use of paste, il few strips
of colorcd paper and u young man
--an American--who hadn't ability
to be a Cinnamon, it became known
that the Doctor was in town. As
soon rs ii was known that China
man was in town, the price of labor
and every salcable article went
down. About Is new top buggics
were brought out on the street and
offered for sale at $40 apiece. You
could get u tooth pulled for ten
cents; your leg sawed of for u
quarter, and the Doctor offered to
make post mortem examination
Of any man for n dollar and board,
You could y peanuts fora penny
q quart, and a bottle of castor oil
'lirown in to facilitate their naviga-
tlon.
The price of all kinds of com
moditics was in u state of ruinous
depression, except ginsing and

bic prices. \ man had TO pay IS,

tract for the bottle.

scowL1Ne.-Don't scowl, it spoils faces.
Before YOU know it your forehead will re.
semble q small railroad map. Scowling is
habit that steals upon us unawares. We
frown when the light is too strong, and when
it is too weak. We tie our brows into knot
when we are thinking, and knit them even
more tightly when We cannot think. There
is no denying there are plenty Of things to
scowl about. The baby in the cradle frowns
when something fails to suit. Constitution
scowls," we say. The little toddler who likes
sugar on his bread and butter tells his.trou-
BILE in the same way when you leave the su.
gar off. "Cross," we say about the children,
and "worried to death" about the grown folks,
and as for ourselves, we can't help it. But
we must. Its reflex influence makes others
unhappy; for face answereth unto face in life
as we'll as in water. 1t bellies our religion.
We should possess our souls in such peace
that it would reflect itself in placid counte-
nances. your forehead is rigid with wrin-
kles at forty, what will it be at seventy?
There is one consoling thought about these
marks of time and trouble-the death angel
always erases them. Even the extremely
aged, in death, often wear smooth and
peaceful brow, thus leaving our last memories
to them calm and tranquil. But our busi-
ness is with life. Scowling is kind Of silent
scolding. 1t shows that our souls need sweet
ening. For pity sake, let us take sad iron,,
or a glad iron, or smoothing tool of some
sort, and straighten these creases out Of our
faces before they become indellibly engraven

p@ One of the extraordinary feats Of mem.
ory on record, was exhibited at the New York
postofice lately, in connection with the quar-
terly examination Of the clerks in the Box ooS
Department. Each clerk was given 1000
cards upon which 70 write from memory the
names of the box-holders and those who re-
ceived mail in the boxes of others. Robert
Miller took first place, missing only three
names in the 1000. John Tobin made four
mistakes and took the second place.

THE HUMAN ANUFAcToRY.-Am man may
eat and drink heartily all day, and sit and
lounge about, doing nothing, in one sense Of
the word but his body must keep hard at
work all the time, or he will die. Suppose
the stomach refused to work within ten min
utes after hearty dinner, the man would die
in convulsions in few hours Of cholera, or
crampcolic would rack and wreck him.
Suppose the pores of the skin meaning there
by the glandular apparatus with which they
are connected-should 60 on "strike," he
would in an hour be burning up with fever, or
oppression would weigh down the system, and
soon become insupportable. Suppose the liver
became mulish, appetite would be annihila-
ted, food would be loathed, torturing pains
would invade the small of the back, and the
head would ache to bursting Suppose the
Kidneys shut up shop, and dangers more i'm
minent, sufferings more unbearable, and death
more certain, would be the speedy and inevi-
table result. If the little workshops of the
eye should close, in an hour he could not shut
nor open them without physical force, and in
another hour he would be blind; or if those
of the tongue should close, it would become
dry as a bone and stiff as steel. To keep
such a complication of machinery in working
order for lifetime, is miracle Of wisdom !;
but to work them by the pleasures of eating
and drinking is miracle of benehcence.
