Almost Perpetual Motion.
Philadelphia Times

Engineers who examined the machine
invented by Albert Hetrowiski, Pole,
say that 1t comes nearer to solving the
problem Of perpetual motion than any
contrivance as yet devised, and that for
practical purposes It is likely to work a
revolution In machinery. II consists OF
pair Of hollow metallic wheels, which
rovolve in opposite directions on the
same axis. The moving power Is nine
metallic balls, placed within the wheels
so as to beat the iron down at first and
then gravitate toward the axis, where a
side groove runs them of to grooved
radius of the wheel running In the OPP
posite direction. TO the axis Of smaller
grooved wheels, that regulate the speed
Of the machinery, the shafting IL at
tached.

he is of good cigar, he is obliged, from

But nothing softened sthe heart her
own cruelty had turned to stone.
The page returned and stood beside
his lady's couch. His eyes were full of
tears, his head was bent upon his breast ;
he sighed and hid his face in his plum
ed cap. The lady lifted her wan face.
"Speak," she said. The message?"
"Alas!" sighed the page, 81 would it
were more tender one."
"Whatever it may be, speak," gasped
the lady.
"The only message that have" re-
piled the page, "is, Wait forever!"
81 am well paid in my coin,'' said the
lady. cat last have received all my
own answers back"
From that moment she faded fast. In
little while she died and they buried
her in the old church yard with a stone
at her head and stone at her feet.
When Spring came there was grass
upon the grave, and there also was q
new plant strange to those who looked
upon it; a plant with dark, glossy leaves
that crept slowly but surely along,
clutching fast to every rough surface it
mot. There had never been plant like
that on earth before. Now we call it
the ivy; but this is what those who saw
it for the first time said of ii:
at is the lady whom her lover babe
to wait forever. In this form she is
slowly but surely creeping toward his
castle. SO she will creep on until she
reaches the heart she threw away"
Generations have passed from earth.
The castle is ruin, covered with ivy,
and the peasants will tell you that 1t has
crept there from the lady's grave, point,
by point, over stone and rock, through
the grave yard and over gates and fen
ces. You can trace it IL you choose,
they say; but do you not try.

The Days OF Grant.

Within the White House room
Where gentle Hayes lies snoring,
Fond memory starts boom,
The days of Grant restoring;
The rogues, the rings, the whiskey kings
The piles of cash then squandered;
The secret deals, the shameless steals,
At which the people wondered.
Boss Shepherd rules the town
With profit and with pleasure;
Babcock trots up and down,
And brings his rod to measure;
While Robson spends, for self and
friends,
A vast amount Of money,
And all in power employ the hour
TO gather heaps of honey.
Once moro the gifts pour in
TO his imperial highnessi
Lobbies again begin
Their work with wondrous slyness;
Men who can pay our rulers away,
According to their natures,
And Grant upsets, with bayonets,
Obnoxious Legislatures.
While railroads have their way,
Each grasping corporation
Big dividends can pay,
And charge them to the nation.
The peoples faint and weak complaint
Is secuted OF. forgotten,
While fraud and force pursue their
course
And all is rank and rotten.
Thus in the White House room
Where gentle Hayes lies snoring,
Sad memory starts boom,
The days of Grant restoring.

Shadow of the Empire

The decision of the Supreme Court of
the U. s. In the RIyes case, is one that Is
calculated to startle the most stupid Of
our people. There can be 10 indepen-

sions prevail. UnGer Il a State Judge
can be dragged from the bench at the
will ofa partisan Federal judiciary
The power Of the State is wholly sub
merged, and all the State officers are
mere puppets in the hands Of a central
lied National administration. The
shadow Of the Empire Is on us.

PREHISTORIC REMAINS.
Where tho Ancient Civilization
of the West Builded.

Popular science Monthly for March.
Scattered over the region are the re-
mains of a long forgotten people-a peo-
pie which, judging from the few relics
left for our study, possessed far higher
degree of civilization than the wild tribes
now roaming the country, higher than
the Moquits and Pueblos Of the present
day. yet resembling them IN many re-
spects. We find the remains of their
homes, their houses of stone, In various
places and Of various kinds; some
the homes of a happy, contented people,
In full security, leading pastoral life;
others, mere houses built for shelter and
defence in stormy times, as protection
against the invader, for concealment and
and for open defense. The general out
line of their history Is written In charac-
ters Of stone all over the country.
The Northern limit Of their settlement
seems to have been near north latitude
30 degrees. Farther North than this no
evidences Of their occupation have been
discovered, although exploring parties
have examined the country thence to
the Grand river. Toward the South and
West their dwellings have been found in
Utah, throughout Arizona, and as fur
East M the Rio Grande. But here, on
the Rio San Juan and It's tributaries,
seems to have been center Of popula-
tion. In this country, over large area,
the villages are quite near together,
showing that II was comparatively dense
ly populated. Their remains consist Of
buildings In various stages Of decay and
dilapldatlon--cemeteries, pottery, most
Of Il in n fine state Of division, arrow
heads, little wioker-worker, stone tools
of various sorts, partially carbonizcd
grain, corn cobs, ETC., and a few spcci-
mems of human remains.
The ruined buildings arc, as was stat
ed briefly above, Of two general classes,
representing two different periods IN
this ancient history, that of peaceful oc-
cupatlon, and that of invasion BY for
eign power and of final expulsion of this
people from their homes. All Of these
structures are Of stone, dressed with
more or less care, or chosen with refer
ence to size and shape. There Is liitleo
no rubble-work, In all, the stones are
set in adobe mortar which has great CO.
hesivc power, as IL shown In several cx-
amplcs.

The Legend Of the Ivy.
Rare Plant that Sprung from
the Grave of a Broken
Hearted Maiden.

1t Is an old legend-a German one
think-and It runs in this wise:
Once upon time there lived, besid,
the Rhine, beautiful young lady. Sht
had lover who loved her and whom
she loved in return, but, after he haC
wooed her-not one year, but three-hC
asked her to marry him, and she, anx'
ious to show her power, merely answer.
ed "wait."
81 have waited three years." he said
but at your bidding | will wait one more
just one more. will go away from
you and return when the year is over tc
ask your hand.
Then he went away and became sol
dier, and praise of his bravery filed the
land, but the lady was piqued by the
thought that he had been able to leave
her even for year. and when he re.
turned she determined to punish him
though all the while she loved him well
He knelt at her feet, and took hci
hands In his and said:
"Lady, | have come back to claim you
for my wife,"
But her answer was:
"Walt longer; patient waiter is moi
u loser"
The soldier arose. He sighed, but he
said no word Of remonstrancc.
81 will wait for two years longer" he
said calmly, "lf do not lose, all Is
we'll"
Then he left her again. She had hop
ed that he would plead with her, and
that she should be forced to change her
mind; but now he was gono--gone for
two long years. How she lived through
them she could not tell, but they passed,
and again her lover was before her.
81 have waited patiently" was all he
said.
The lady yeOrned to cast herself into
his arms, but pride was strong within
her.
"wait longer" she said.
"No," he answered. "Thls Is the last
time. I'll walt now will wait forcv-
er."
At thls her blood boiled; her eyes
flashed, she arose and drew back haught-
lily.
"Thcn wait forever" she said coldly.
Surely she thought ho would sink 10
her feet and besccch her forgiveness,
but he did no such thing, lie left her
without word, And now her heart
sunk In her bosom. She wept bitter
tears and rcpented IN dust and ashes.
When year had gone by she could bear
her woe no longer, aud ehc sent her lit
tic foot-page to her old lover, bidding
him bear this message;
"Come back 10 mc.n
But the message the little foot-pagc
brought back was just this;
"Walt."
Again she was loft 10 her sorrow, aud
two years gllded by, then once more
she babe her page ride over the noun
ialns to her lovers castle.
"rcll him ! am waiting, "she said.
The page rode away aud rode back,
Tic stood before hls lady and doiIcd his
cap, and repeated the message that had
been given hlmi
"1he patient waiter is not n loser"
"lIc Is Furnishing me-" thought The la
dy, and for two years longer she remain
cd In her castle Her heart was break
ing. Her health failed. She knew that
death was near.
A longing to sec him seiyel her eoll,
