And Such a Change.

Within the last ten years a new and
significant kind of literature has sprung
up among us. 1t consists for the most
part of thin octave volumes, in purple
or red bindings, with gorgeous coat
of arms blazoned on the back, and on
the front page the magic words, ''Print-
ed for private circulation onlv." Each
of these volumes purports to be the au-
thentic history of some American fami-
ly, Smith or Potter, as the case may be,
from the present time back to a great
founder somewhere in the mists of an.
tiquity. The peculiarly of these books
is that very little in. ormation is given
concerning the present generation of
Smiths or Potters, although it could so
readily be obtained. The writer of the
book is usually that member of the FAM
lily who, having made a fortune by a
lucky speculation n soaps or patent
pill, is acquiring taste for good birth
along with the other belongings of the
class into which he has made his way.
He has given up pie ior breakfast and
a noon dinner. and leisurely eats his
eleven courses at seven. He no longer
ia eS his boys to the negro minis RES
and laughs on a front bench, but sits in
a box at the Academy, where the music
is severely classical, critical and calm
HIS wife has banshed knitted CO ton
tides from her parlor, and talks now of
the ''feeling in her embroidered tow
els" and the "harmonv of eternal mo-
ton" in the wave pattern of napkin
Why should they also not droD the
Smith and Potter blood of the present,
smelling rs it does of soaps or ipecac.
and treat themselves to a great ancestor
back in the middle ages-a whacking,
bloody, spurred Crusader of the high
heroic paternity. !. Tribune.

che Greeneastie Grain Drills.

These drills, cut of which is given
herewith, have been in general use for the
last 25 years, and are built at Green castle
Penn, by j. L. Crowell & Co., who are

plain drills for sowing grain and grass

ed, thus saving. as is GAINED, an amount
equal to Is ro 25 per cent. of the cost Of
the drill alone each year.
By using fertilizers the wheat can be
sown somewhat later so as better to avoid
the attacks of the fly, and yet enable the
plant to form good root and thus with
stand the freezing ont that Fall wheat is
often subject to.
The simplicity and durability of the
drill built by J. B. Crowell g. Co., at once
commend it to the farmer. There is no
change of gear wheels to regulate the guam
tity sown, and the spring hoes which are
attached 20 all their No. l drills, enable
the farmer to prss over ordinary obstruc-
tions without breaking pins, and then

FACTS AND FIGURES.

Patent medicines in England now
yield a Cove nment revenue of over
u. 600. 0O0. They were first taxed in
1888 under an act requiring venders of
secret remedies to take out a license
and paw stamp duty. This act did
not apply. however. to any one who
had served apprenticeship TO asurgeon,
apothecary or druggist
The longest span of telegraph wire
in the word is stretched across the
kistnah River, from hill to hill, each
hill being l.200 ieet high, between Be-
zorah and Sectanagrum. in India. The
span is little over o, ,0J0 feet in length.
The only mechanical contrlvance used
in stretching this cable across the river
was common w.ndlass.
Several specimens of fossil woods
and Ignite have been found at a depth
of 19l feet below the sur :e in boring
an artesian well at Galveston, Tex
Above these were 80 feet of quicksand
and l35 feet of solid blue clay. The
contractor also asserts that a consider
able quantity of bones and shell have
been drawn out of the well, from what
depth is not stated.
The glass works at st. Goblain,
Chauny, Grey and Mountclucon, in
France, and Mannheim and S.olberg.
in Germany, have produced plain white
and silver plates VARYING in weight
from 500 to 1.600 pounds. Some of the
mirrors for the new Grand Opera-house
at Paris are forty live by fifty-two feet
They also make glass tiles, pressed in
imi' alton OF the clay article; these tiles
are used for roofing, and are nodded
in such shape that they can be laid
alongside or one another, making tight
fitting joints without any cement or
mortar. Another article produced in
large quantities at these works is glass
flooring, made of flags or slabs of rough
cast glass; pavements of glass intended
for carriage ways are likewise made in
the same style as the slabs.
If the amount of paper consumed
by nation has any bearing upon the
question of enlightenment and civiliza-
ton, England and the United States
take the lead of the world. England
produces annually 10000 tons, and
uses about five kilogrammes (about
eleven pounds) for each unit of its
population. The United States produce
207, 900 tons, and consume five kilo-
grammes per head. Germany produces
203, 900 tons, and consumes 4.76 kilo-
grammes; and France produces $4,000
tons, and consumes 1863 kilogrammes.
The consumption of paper in other
countries is in the following order:
Switzer.and, Belgium, Holland, Aus
tria, Italy, Sweden, Portugal Switzer-
land uses 4.5i kilogram,nes per head
and Portugal 1.S0 kiIogrammes. Aus
tria produces 97.20O tons: Italy, so, 600;
Russia, 32, 400; Spain. 80, 600. Turkey,
Greece and Roumania produce none.
Asia, Africa, Australia. South America
and Canada combined, produce less than
$4,000 tons and import 10000.

We declare: First That the right TO
make or issne money is sovereign power
TO be maintained by the people for the
common benefit The delegation of this
right to corporations is a surrender of the
central attribute of sovereignty, void of
constitutional sanction, comforting upon
subordinate irresponsible power, absolute
dominion over industry and commerce.
All money, whether metallic or paper
should be issued and its volume ntrolled
by the Government, and not by or through
banking corporations; and, when so issued
shonli be fuli e ,aI niel for all debts
public and private.
Second-That the bonds of the United
States should be paid as rapidly as is
practical. To enable the Government to
meet these obligations legal tender cur
epcy should be submitted for the notes or,

Fourth-We are opposedto all subsidies

an UNFINISHED SONG.


Yes. he was weIl-niga gone and ne IT his rest;
The year could moi rene Y him; nor the cry

Nor tnat soft freshness of the May winds
sigh
That fell before the garden scents, and d'ei

All these he knew not lynn oqe led-eyed,
Deep in dream that was not pain nor

But death not yet. Outside woman talked
His wife she was-wnose clicking needles
sped
To faded phrases of com mnlaiut that baked
Ny rising words of comfort. Overhead,
A cage that hung amid the jasmine stars
1rembled Ii tie, and blossom dropped;
Then no es came pouring through the wick

Climbed half a rapid arc of song, and
stopped.
" Is it thrush?'' asked. "A thrush" she

Jack, Jackr' A joyous fiutter stirred the
cage,
Shaking the blossoms down. The bird be-
gan;
The woman turned again to want and wage,
And in the inner chamber signed the man.
How clear the song was Musing as heard,
My farcies wandered from the droning
vie
To sad comparison of man and bird
The broken song, the uncoM pleued life,
That seemed a broken song; and of the two,
My thought moment deemed the bird
more blrst,
That, when the sun shone, sang the notes it
knew,
Without desire or knowledge of the rest.
Nay, happier man. For HIM futurity
Still hides hope that this his earthly praise
Finds Heavenly end, surely will not He,
Solver of all, above his flower of days,
Teach him the song that no one living
knows?
Let the man die, with that half chant of
his
What Now discovers not Hereafter shows,
And God will surely teach him more than
this.
Again the bird. 1 turned and passed along;
But lime and Death, Eternity and Cha age,
Talked with me ever. and the climbing song
Rose in my hearing-beautiful and strange!
