speaking Of st. Louis" the man on
the wood-box said, "did you notice the
rich, old saddle color of the riverP"
Z" did," replied the Jester, ''in my
room at the hotel. When q man takes
drink of water in st. Louis at this

How Women should Dress.

An American authority says: No
lady need be ashamed to dress plainly
or cheaply; she can, with the help of the
modern guides to dress, appear like a
lady on very little money. She can lay
down three rules for herself: Never to
pretend to anything, never to wear false
jewelry, and, affirmatively, always to be
neat. A young girl with white muslin
and a fresh ilower is dressed for a
queens ball. Alady of maturer years,
in a well-fitting dark silk, real jewelry
or none and her own hair--all the better
If il is white-is also dressed for ball.
True womanhoOd includes all the deli
cate refnements that overflow in the
perfect glove, the well-ftting shoe, the
pretty stocking, the. neat frills, the be-
coming bonnet. The American woman,
TO do her only justice, is a neat creature
by instinct, and, if she occasionally gives
too much thought to dress, she is still to
be admired and commended tor her
1aiutiness."

MOzart,s HarpsIchOrd.

A dealer in musical instruments In
this city says the New York san, owns
Q harpsichord which is said to have
been played on by Mozart when he vis-
tied London in 1868. Mozart was then
eight years old, and his performances
awakened so much interest that he was
asked to play for the King and Queen.
For this occasion Jacob and Abraham
Kirckman, manufacturers of musical in
struments in London, made harpsi-
chord which was considered superior to
any they had turned out from their
factory. Mozart improvised on it, and
played compositions of his own and
pieces by Bach and Handel. The Kirck-
mans kept the instrument at first on ac-
count of its fine tone and afterward on
account of Mozart's growing fame.
They embellished the frame in 1776.
! There are, however, some musicians
who say that the harpsichord was used
by Mozart when he was in Paris in 1873
andnot when it was bought by muSi-
clan, who brought it to this country and
sold it to its present owner.
The instrument, like our grand
pianos, somewhat resembles a horizon
tai harp in shape, except that the box is
straight. The frame is of mahogany in
laid With yellow wood. The box which
is about six feet long, is not fastened to
legs, but rests on q triangular table,
and it has brass handles. 1t is very
light, and can readily be moved from
place to place. 1t is broadest at the
keyboard, which comprises five octaves
from F to F. From the keyboard it gets
narrower, until at the end it measures
about one foot in breadth.
Each note has three strings, which
are set in vibration by strips of metal,
between bits Of cloth acting as hampers
attached to oblong pieces of wood
called Jacks. Above the keyboard are
levers. which work by hand, and vary
the volume of tone by allowing one,
two or all the strings of the note struck
to yibrate.
The instrument, the sound of which
resembles that of the harp very closely
Is still in very good condition. 1t is en-
tirely unsuited to modern paino works,
but q minuet of Mozart's and one of
Bach's gavottes sounded very nicely on
It, 1t was used at the Union League
Theater when 'Olivia" was given there.
There are very few of these old in
struments In this country. One made
by brother of John Jacob Astor is in
New York; another, owned by Abram
S. Hewitt, is at his country place, and
third is in Lexington, Mass. In the
Historical Museum of Dresden is harp
siohord made In 1648 which was we'd
ding gift from Augustus 1. TO his wife
Anna, daughter of Christian III. of Dem
mark.

Lord Beaconsneld's Patent Of Nobility.

The patent of nobility which was con.
lrrred on the late Lord Beaconsfeld,
Aug. Is, 1876, cannot be continued to
''the male heirs of his body lawfully
begotten," for he had no. children by
his wife, the widow of Mr.. Wyndham,
of Maidstone, to whose seat in the Com.
mans he was returned many years ago.
Lord Brougham, was in the same. ,situa,
ton, but he obtained new patent with
q special remainder clause for his
younger brother William, who succeed
ed him in 1868 as Baron Brougham
and Vaux." The late Lord Beacons.
field has nephew, the son of his
brother, Ralph Disraei, named "Con-
ingsby, y who might have succeeded to
the Earldom if Lord Beaconsfield had
followed the example of Lord Brougham
and had patent issued in favor of
his brother Ralph. There is no indica-
tion that this has been done, and the
title will probably cease. Lord Bea-
consfeld leaves this estate, Hughenden
Manor, and a large amount of personal
property which his wife bequeathed to
him when she died, and other property
left him by a jewish lady, who had a
profound admiration for his talents.

Some Late inventions.

A California man is said to have It's
covered process for drying and press.
ing potatoes by which they can be pre-
served for years without any loss of
their flavor or,nutritive qualities.
A German machinist has invented q
process for cleaning oil which has been
used for lubricating machinery, by
which he claims saving of fifty per
cent. in the consumption of the material
is obtained JuG0 .tfkf iqdolyO ,ysi !
H.. A firm of stove manufacturers havB
recently brought out a new lining for
stoves. intended particularly for those
in which soft coal is burned. 1t Is
claimed that elinkers will not form in
the stove inwhich the lining is used.
A new material for architectural pur-
poses, said to be entirely fire-proof, is
made from cotton. After being CON-
verted into a paste by chemical treat
ment, it is nodded into the desired form
and allowed to dry, when it becomes as
hard as stone. tits called architectural
cotton. lar
A French electrician has devised q
form of electric lamp by which inter
mittent luminous signals can be pro-
duced- A cam motion is used, by which
the carbons are separated at each revo-
luton, and can be operated by clock
work for regular signals or by h md at
variable rate for the irregular ones.
A machine has been recently patented
designed for threading bolts and tap
ping nuts, and so constructed that when
one tap or die is forced forward to do its
work another die or tap will be with
drawn. The machine thus works con-
tinu ,usly, and no time is lost in with
drawing the die or tap. 4
A New York man is said to have dis.
covered process for the manufacture
of sulphate OF quinine from coal tar.
Owing TO the fact that but little La
been done toward the cultivation of the
chincona, a substitute for Peruvian
barN, from which the drug has hereto
lore been made, it has been sought after
for years. The trade in the article is
heavy one, and if the new process
should prove to be as successful as it is
anticipated by the inventor, it will
cause a revolution in the trade.

This firm have on exhibition at the
Exposition grounds several fine pieces
of mechanism, among which are seen
two portable engines and vibrator sepa-
ratOr made by c. .Aultman & Co., of Can
ton, Ohio. The first is Canton MOni-
tor Horse Steering Engine" the other
a Canton Monitor Self7Steering Road
Traction Engine" These are both the
most useful labOr-savers in existence.
Their construction is such that hillside
and level are alike to them in lOcOmO-
tiOn. Owing to the great depth, of water
on the crown sheet no danger can ensue
whilst climbing uneven surfaces or
going over rough stumps, stones, etc.
Tkey are built for 10, r12, and 10 horse
power, and can make from four to five
miles per hour. One of those on exhi-
3 bltiOn has been operating a portable
mill and the other New Model Vi
brating Thresher and Separator. This
machine is the most effective, success
full combination for saving and clean
ing grain ever produced. 1t threshes
all the grain, saves all, cleans grain
and seed ready for market; no clogging,
no choking, easy TO feed, fast, durable,
economical and profitable. 1t has had
great success with wet oats, fax, clover,
timothy, and the most difficult crops of
other grain. The Sweepstakes Thresher
a great fayerite, is substantially
built. has tight drafts, runs quietly, and
can be adapted to any kind of grain. 1t

A Horrible Tale.

George Arnold, of Hill County, Texas, while in Dallason private bsiness year ago, was bitten by mad dog which ran past him in the street. He had the wound cauterized and returned to his farm, but he could not shake of the conviction that the poison was in his system and that he must eventually die of it. About fortnight ago he had strange sensations which he at once concluded were the premonitory symptoms of hydrophobia. His home was isolated and practically out of the reach of assistance in case of sudden outbreak of the disease, and he determined to put himself beyond the possibility of harming his wife and children before the madness seized him. So he took 8 strong, chain, went into the woods and chained him self to tree, secured the fastening with paddock and threw away the key. He then wrote letter to his wife, telling her the dreadful story and begging her to believe that it was love for her and his children which nerved him to meet death alone Two days afterward his body was found still chained to the tree, and near by was the letter. There was every evidence thatsthe man had died in agony. Teeth and nails had been torn off and his body lacerated, and the ground was dug up around the tree as far as the chain would permit. In view of the possibility that this tale contains not word of truth it is as well not to indulge senti- Y,oanf iuat vet
