The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-10-14
WHY Some Americans Like England.

1t has often occurred to me that many
of the New Workers who do not come to
London have kindred feelings, and are
in similar positions to the Londoners
who do not go to New York. Similarly,
it seems to me that the nice l,ople you
meet in America are like the nice people
you meet in England. "But," said an
American artist to me discussing these
afinities. "I have just come up from
Cookham on the Upper Thames, and
you ask me why we Americans get 80 at
tached to England when we really get to
know the country. I will tell you. It
is settled. 1t is quiet /; you can rest
here. I walked from Cookham to Med
menham Abbey. A lovely spot. I and
my companion we're the only persons
there. A few callers came, ladies and
gentlemen boating down the Thames,
and that was all. Quiet, fresh, lovely
meadows, a shining river, an abbey
1000 years old and a quiet country hotel
like a private g~entleman's house. Why,
sir, in my country that hotel would have
been a great white, staring, modern
palace, with-smoking and flirting and
cocktail-making and bowling going on
that would drive you mad! Peace,
quiet, finish, the end of things, a dream
of old worlds, a present of repose where
you may cultivate art and live on a mod
crate income hat is why we Americans
love England. "-English letter to NeW
York Times.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-10-14
Boy Inventors.

Some of the most important inventions
have been the work of mere boys. The
invention of the valve motion to the
steam engine was made by a mere boy.
Watts left the engine in a very incom-
plete condition, from the fact that he had
no way to open or close the valves, ex-
cept by means of leavers operated by the
hand. He set up a large engine at n
of the mines, and a boy was hired to
work these valve levers; although this
was not hard work, yet it required his
constant attention. AS he was working
these levers, he saw that parts of
the engine moved in the right di-
r%ection, and at the exact time that
he had to open or close the valves.
He procured a strong cord and made one
end fast to the proper part of the engine,
and the other end to the valve lever; the
boy had the satisfaction of seeing the en-
CINE off with perfect regularity of
motion. A short time after the foreman
came around and saw the boy playing
marbles at the door. Looking at the en-
CINE he soon saw the ingenuity of the
boy, and also the advantages of SO great
an invention. Mr.. Watts then carried
out the boys inventive genius in a prac
teal form, and made the steam engine a
perfect automatic working machine.
The power-loom is the invention of a
farmer boy who had never seen or heard
of such q thing. He whitfield n out
with his jack-knife, and after he had got
it all done, he, with great enthusiasm,
showed it to his father, who at once
kicked it pieces, saying he would have
no boy about him that would spend his
time on such foolish things. The boy
was delighted at the idea Of learning a
trade, and he soon found that his new
master was kind and took a lively inter-
est in him. He had made a loom of what
was left of one. his father had broken up,
which he showed to his master. The
blacksmith saw he had no common boy
as an apprentice, and that the invention
was a very valuable one. He imme-
diately had a loom constructed under the
supervision of the boy; it worked to their
perfect satisfaction, and the blacksmith
furnished the means to manufacture the
looms, the boy to receive one-half the
profits. In about a year the blacksmith
wrote to the boys father that he should
bring with him a wealthy gentleman who
was the inventor of the celebrated power
loom. You may be able to Judge of the
establishment at the old home when his
son was presented tohim as the inventor,
who told him that his loom was the same
as the model that he hid kicked to pieces
but a year before Western Trade.

Mystery of Exchange.

Most of our readers are aware that the
quotation of foreign exchange represents
a premium considerably in excess OF the
actual fact !; but we doubt whether all
of them know precisely what is the diff
ference. BY the usage of bankers, the
old Spanish dollar Is assumed as the par
of exchange, one pound sterling being
equal to four and four-ninths of these
dollars. In point of fact, however, in
the established moneys of Great Britain
and the United States, a pound sterling
containedas much gold as $4.S7of United
States money ; and this is the true par
of exchange OF rate which must be used
in converting the money of country
into that of the other. For instance If
anything costs e100 in Great Britain, it
true value expressed i'll the money of the
United States is 1887. Accordingly, it
is a fact, familiar to all bankers, that,
when exchange is quoted at 1904, there
is no real premium, but the true. par has
been attained, because, if we multiply
S4.4 40, which is the nominal par, by
1904. which is then the quoted rate, we
get "a. 81, which is the true par. We
need scarcely add that it is owing to this
circumstance that the exports of gold
from the United States are not larger.
If there really existed such a heavy
premium on bills of exchange, as many
persons suppose, it would be immensely
profitable to export gold to Great Brit
ain. In point of fact, in view of the
necessary expenses of freight, insurance
and loss of interest, the margin does not
more than cover the risk. The United
States half-eagle, it may be added, con-
tains 116 grains of pure gold. equivalent

Bit Of Colorado Romance.

One of the richest lions of this city at
the present date looks as if, were he in
Paris at the proper moment, he would
yea a bonnet rouge and carry a mitrai1-
leuse. Farther up in the mountains the
air of this lion would set the fashions not
only of a camp but many of its visitors
also. The brigand style is exceedingly
fascinating to the eyes of romantic,
impracticable young woman, and also to
lads with half-grown mustaches. I saw
a young lady at Georgetown whose eyes
and heart had become entangled with the
man who was too familiar with sharp
knives, and I do not refer to the town
butcher. This lassie secured a fine bron-
clio with a scarlet ~saddle-cioth, and over
her handsome dark-green, gold-buttoned
habit she wore a gold-mounted leather
belt, to which was attached a sheathed
knife with a guarded hilt. In the band
of her Derby cap she wore a lighter
knife that ~glistened, both of which
might be useful in her hands if she were
attacked by a Colorado grasshopper. In
city terms she openly expressed her ad-
miration for the town desperate. "He
could and would protect n woman's honor
with his very life" she lisped to the

SOCIETY has been aptly compared to a
heap of embers, which, when separated,
oon languish, darken, and expire; but if
placed together glow with a ruddy and
intense heat-a just emblem of the
strength, happiness, and the security
derived from the union of mankind. The
savage, who never knew the blessings OF
combination, and he who quits society
from apathy or misanthropic spleen, are
like the separated emblers-dark, dead,
useless; they neither give nor receive
heat, they neither love nor are beloved.
To what acts of heroism and virtue, in
every age and nation, has not the impetus
of affection given rise! To what gloomy
misery, despair, and even suicide, has
not the desertion of society led! How
often in the busy haunts of men are all
our noblest and g~entlest virtues called
forthl And how, in the bosom of a re.
cluse. do all the soft emotions languish
and grow faint!
