of SO great an invention. The idea suggested
by the boys inventive genius was put in q
practical form, and made the steam-engine
an automatic working machine.
The power loom Is the invention OF q
farmers boy who had never seen or heard
of such thing.
He whitfield one 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 in pieces, saying ne
would have no boy about him that would
spend his time on such foolish things.
The boy was sent to blacksmith to learn
trade, and his master took a lively interest
in him. He made loom of what was lei
of the one his father had broken up, and
showed it to his master.
The blacksmith saw be had no common
boy as an apprentice, and that the Invention
was a valuable one. He had loom con-
structed under the supervision of the boy.
1t worked to their perfect satisfaction
and the blacksmith furnished the means Il
manufacture the looms, and the boy received
half the profits.
In about q year the blacksmith wrote t.
the boys father that he should bring will
him wealthy gentleman who was the In
ventor of the celebrated power-loom.
You may be able to judge of the astonish
ment at the old home when his son was pre-
sented to him as the inventor, who told hin
that the loom was the same as the mode
that ne had kicked to pieces but q yea
ago.

Sold His Mouspache.
New Orleans Times. ]

The gentleman who has been travelling
around town for the past day or two, with
half a moustache on his upper lip, is not in
sane, but you can bet your bottom dollar
that he is mad.
Last Saturday evening, while having a
good time with party of good fellows, he
was joked some about his vanity with refer
ence to his moustache and after he had been
worked up to the proper pitch, a vicious
friend in the crowd offered him $40 for the
hair on his upper lip. The offer was prompt
ly accepted, the cash paid and an assign
ment made, and then the $10were expended
in frightening the good time.
The following day the friend called for a
delivery of the moustache. A move was
made for barber shop and the laxative
gentleman of the striped stick got out his i'm
plements; and then all the fiendishness of
that friend was displayed. He announced
that he wanted but half of the moustache
for the present, and insisted on the other
half being kept until called for Threats
had no effect; tears were of no avail; and
therefore IL is that the gentleman goes about
town with one side of his upper lip covered
with hair and the other side as smooth and
soft and kissable as a maiden's mouth.
As remarked above, he is not insane, but
isn't he mad

FASHION NOTES.

There are no flowers worn upon the para
soils by the exclusives.
Wooden dresses are very popular. A CON-
bination of large checks, with plain colors in
art shades, is worn with large felt or straw
hats.
Soft Moorish caps, devoid of brim or even
head band, made of the dress material, arc
worn with travelling costumes of cheviot, in
mixed colors, or of silver gray.
The severe and simple tailor-made cloth
suit is the most popular walking costume for
spring weather. The novelty for these is the
use of plaques Of braid instead of the tcefoil
curves for the frogs worn on the jacket.
In hair dressing all false hair is dispensed
with. Simple styles prevail for the back
hair, such as small knobs and coils while the
front hair covers the forehead with rings
and short curls, and gives the low broad
Greek brow.
The prettiest shoulder capes this season
are cut plain across the back, fitting the
shoulders perfectly, but in front they are
laid in loose and easy folds across the chest,
fastening together about the sixth button
| from the throat with bow and by long

Do good: do not wait TO be older,
We never msy live 10 grow old;
Our life is but q sad story,
Perhaps more than half Is told.
How many kind words have been needed

While he blesses you and me.

To whose arms for refuge flee;
There is a Heaven, tell them,

Iney once like US, were young;
With saints they'll soon sing in glory,
Harkl their harps are being strung.
Think of all their tolls and trials:
Just behind those lines of care;
Rejoice, ye way-wom pilgrims,
For ''there'il be no sorrow there"
A loving word for that child. so sad;
We may not, Can not know,
How his young life is filed, alasl
With suffering. sin and woe,
Amongst parental tends perhaps,
Draining misery's bitter cup.

Filled with grace. aud be gentle and mild
And live like the Holy One of old,

To all, both high and low.

When hence you're called TO go.
You will be happier surely,
Ere joys terrestrial end
For in this changing world of ours,
How valued a true friend.
And IL we do not reach below

And wear a starry crown.
