The committee on public health in the Michigan legislature has reported favorably upon bill requiring liquor drinkers to take out licenses, and providing penalties for sell ing liquors to persons not thus licensed to buy. This system has had a practical test in Oregon, where it is said to work well. It cer- tainly has it's advantages, as any licensed thinker who abuses his privilege may Le de- prived of his license, while moderate drinkers who are able to control their capacities are not restrained of their liberty. The liquor deal CTS have no inducements to force their sales,
 for the moment they get licensed customer drunk, they are in danger of losing him alto- gether, and the number of liquor saloons would naturally be gauged by the number of licensed customer, to whom they could cater.

Pennsylvania railroad hopes soon to make
 the trip in an hour and half. A monster locomotive is now building in the company's shops at Altoona which is expected to per
 form the feat. It will be finished in about three weeks, and if the trial trip is satisfac- tory, five more will be built on the same model. A locomotive capable of attaining a uniform speed of sixty miles an hour is not to be sneered at, but Colonel Roberts, of Titusville, will attempt to throw even that extraordinary performance into the shade. There is now building for him at the Bald. win Works a locomotive which is designed to be the fastest in the world. The builders and the owner will be disappointed if it doesn't make a record of eighty miles an hour, and run 100 miles without taking on coal or water. It will be taken to Europe and tested on the railroads of England and the Continent.
 Once in while story is told in the news papers that is decidedly pleasant reading. Of this character is one which we find in the Boston Journal In 1887 firm failed owing note held by New AOAA OdAh, WHICH pore the 1QQOfS0- ment of Boston firm, which also stopped payment during the panic. A few days since the bank in New York was called upon by representative of one of the indorsurs, with statement of the transaction, which, upon referring to the books of the bank, was found to be correct. The gentleman, to the astonishment of the officials, stated that he was authorized by the Boston, gentleman to pay the prin- cipal and interest, and thereupon hand ed check for $12 1900, which was found to be correct. The bank officers say they have no legal claim to the amount, that the bank had changed its charter, and had itself expe- rienced financial difficulties, but the gentle l man assured them that his orders were per emptory, and the money was accepted. The name of the gentleman is not made public for | many reasons, but it is deed worthy of be- l ing recorded

An Interesting Book.

In small illustrated book of sixty-three
pages, entitled "Genius Rewarded; or,
The history of the Sewing Machine" Col.
E. H. Ropes relates the discovery and in.
vention of the "frst practically successful
sewing machine, by Isaac Merritt Singer,
in the year 1850, and the growth and ex-
tent Of the business now carried on by the
Singer Manufacturing Company The
story is told in an interesting manner COM
mencing with an account Of the disap.
pointments and trials experienced by the
inventor and his associates, who with a
capital OF $40, carried on and completed
the work, destined to create one of the
largest maaufa curing corporations in the
country. To an impartial reader, the
claim made by Mr.. Singer, that his inven-
ton proved to be the first successful sew
ing machine ever produced, must seem
thoroughly substantiated. On the 21st
page Of the little volume now under con-
sideration, the peculiarities OF the Howe
and Singer Machines are tabulated. OF the
seven distinctive features of the Singer ma
chine six are now in general use, while
those of the Howe machine are entirely
obsolete. 1t is also shown that Elias Howe
admitted that tue first inventor OF ma
chine for sewing seam by means OF an eye
pointed needle was Waller Hunt, whose
claim in this respect has always been con-
coded by the Singer Company. The pro-
cess Of manufacture is fully described and
illustrated in Colonel Ropes book, and
an entire history given Of the rise and
progress of the Singer Manufacturing
Company, whose works at Elizabettport
are the largest OF their kind in the world
Aside from settling in reasonable minds

the sewing machine, the startling, fiction.
