you do not believe that | sold your
diamond for drink" said Montin, ca
gerly.
mo, no, Montin; You must forget
what | said in the first moment of an.
ger, and let us try to find remedy
for the misfortune. The diamond
was worth two hundred pounds; and
You must endeavor to repay me the
half of that sum out of your wages,
which, when you work regularly,
amount to three or four pounds week,
With industry and sobriety you will
get out of debt" -
From this time / will work steadi-
ly." said Montin, with tears i'll his
eyes. "You shall see, sir, that though
have been a drunkard l am not a
thief"
Montin kept his word--he rose ear
ly, and worked indefatigablv; the lost
stone was replied by another, which
was polished as if by enchantment.
Faithful to his promise, he went no
more to the tavern, and became a
model of steadiness and industry. AT
the end of the year he had paid con-
siderable part of his debt.
Sixteen months passed thus, when
one fine morning in May, having fin
ished his work, he placed himself in
the window, and watched the boats
passing and repassing on the river
which flowed close to the walls of the
house. Suddenly his eye was attract.
ed by something bright, glttering on
the extreme edge on an old chimney.
What was his surprise to discover his
half polished diomond! 1t seemed as
if breath would precipitate itinto the
water beneath, and yet thesre it had
been for so many months, suspended
between wheaven and earth!

The Wealth OF The ROthschilds.

The two brothers, the Barons Roth
schild, of the old ancestral house. in
Frankfort the Main, have made the
return of their income for taxation.
The younger brother, Wilhelm, or
Willy, as he is called, appears to be
the richer man of the two-at all events
for the present taxable year. His re-
turn is 4,788,00O marks. The elder
brother, Meyer Karl, on the other
hand, returns only 100000 marks.
According to the figures rendered by
himself to the Government, Baron
Willy Rothschild enjoysa daily income
of 1920 marks, or over 1920. An
anti Silnitic print details the figures
closely, and exclaims that this Jew is
receiving 5G4 marks, or $40, every
hour, $2.35 ever minute, and 4 cents
every second. -Four cents second does
not sound much, but there are 81 1885,
900 seconds in every year.

opoly granted in the patent gets the
profit. 1t is not strange under the
circumstances that thousands of
would-be patentees besiege the Patent
Office, and that il has become a very
important Government institution;
nor is il strange that thousands of in
ventors die disappointed men. The
occupation is as allming as that of
seeking the precious metals, and as
disappointing. The prizes seem to be
numerous enough, but the failures are
but very imperfectly known. The
practical test comes in the amount of
service rendered, mainly from an
economical point of view. Thus a
simple thing may be very valuable,
and one upon which great deal more
time is spent may be comparatively
worthless.
The sleeping-car, for instance, is
conservator of human energy, besides
contributing to personal comfort. 1t
utilizes the night for travelling with
out depriving the traveller of sleep,
and thus saves time for those to whom
time is money. Hence there is mil
lions in it for those possessing the
temporary monopoly in it's manufac-
ture and use. So simple thing as
ar-bumper is fount of wealth. The
air brake has made a mechanic mil
ionaire. There is q fortune in store
for some one who can find way for
heating cars satisfactorily without
using fire in them; as there is for any
one who can devise a way for ma
terially saving fuel used for making
steam. To be effective these inven-
tons must all be in the line of cheap
ening things, or of increased safety and
comfort. The applications of steam
and electricity have revolutionized
civilization, and the personal estates
that attest the successful experiments
in them are correspondingly frequent.
What Mr.. Edison may leave behind
him no one can tell, while if by any
chance the Keely motor should be a
success it's potentially as a wealth
producer is simply incalculable.
But we are inclined to believe that
the frequency and size of fortunes
which have been accumulated from
patented inventions during the last
thirty years will not be duplicated
during the next thirty. The Singers,
Howes, Clarks and McCormicks will
appear now and then, but not in such
crowds. The mine of invention has
been yielding most too fast to keep up
the supply perpetually at such a rate.
But if the boom is to continue let it
come. We are so much the better
off for it. 1t makes no difference
how many $25,0OO,0OO fortunes are
accumulated, so long as the people get
the quid pro quo.

The Era Of Invention.
Globe-Democrat.

Mr.. Edward Clark died at Coopers-
town, N. Y, the other day, and left
behind him an estate valued at $685.
100000. The reason why Mr.. Clark
became so enormously wealthy was
that some thirty-fve years ago he
gave up the practice of law and went
into partnership with the late Mr.. l.
M. Singer in the business of manu-
featuring sewing machines. Mr..
Singer was mechanic ofan inventive
turn of mind, who, by making use
of-and paying for-an idea of Elias
Howe, had produced labor saving
instrument of great value. Mr.. Clark
probably furnished good set of bust
ness brains toward the general stock,
and the enterprise fourishde i'm
mensely. Mr.. Singer died some years
ago, leaving many millions and q
large assortment of wives and children
behind him; and now Mr.. Clark goes
leaving more millions still and bet
ter reputation as family man. But
the fact we wish to draw attention to
is that these millions all came from
the discovery or invention of a process
whereby the productive or manufac-
turing power of an Individual was
multiplied very considerably.
Just how many millions were made
by men engaged in the manufacture
of this one species of labor-saving in
struments during the time that the
main patents lasted. we have no data
from which to estimate. Elias Howe,
we know, made his princely fortune
which after his death was mainly
swallowed up in Wall street, while
Wheeler and Wilson and Grover and
Baker and other firms found mines OF
wealth in it. The sewing machine
was a great invention, and now people
wohder how the world could have got
along without it as long as it did.
The era in which it was produced was
signally fertile in the invention of
labor saving instruments of numerous
kinds, and it has not passed away yet
by any means. Large estates through
out the country mark the ownership
of the monopolies, secured by patent,
in their manufacture. The moving
and reaping machines have reared
monuments of this nature to those
who were early in the field. Improve
ments in agricultural implements OF
many descriptions are included In the
same category. Just how far we are
advanced in this wonderful age of IN
vention it is impossible to say. 1t
seems as if there must be lull before
long to enable society to adapt itself
to what it has accomplished. The
character of skilled labor has been
changed SO rapidly that it has caused
suffering among the poorer classes to
keep pace with the process, though
they are benefited by it in the long
run.
All this labor saving is mOney-sav-
inc. 1t frees energies once absorbed
in one direction for employment IN
other WAYS, and thus the world was
made ncher. The service rendered
bv inventors is invariably paid for IN
proportion to Its value, under the
ratent system, though it is to be re-
gretted that inventors themselves do
not always get their share of the pay

must bc excluded. as far as possible,
from the air. The usual way Of
packing in tubs and casks will not do
this in AZ perfect a manner as is re.
quired TO insure nice. fresh flavor.
A better way is to surround the bat.
ter with brine on the plan Of the
White packages. In this plan the
tub is made very much in the form Of
the old Welsh tub, except that it is
more tapering. The slaves are heavy.
and heads are provided at both ends.
so as TO make a package that will not
leak. In packing. the tub is turned
on the small end. and a sack Of cot.
ton cloth - made to fit the tub. and
into this the butter is packed until it
reaches to within an inch Of the
groove for holding the upper head.
A cloth is now laid upon the top OF
the butter. and the edges of the sack
brought over this and neatly pressed
down then the head is put in its
place and the hoops driven home
The package is now turned upon the
large end. and the sack of butter
drops down, leaving a space on the
sides and top. Strong brine is now
poured through hole in the small
end until IL will fost the hut,cr. The
hole is tightly cofkcd, and the butter
is pretty efiectualIy excluded from
the air Butter put up in this way

keep a year in sound condition. and,
| believe, would cross the Atlantic.
and open "a fresh in the London

made in sending butter from Califor-
MIA TO our Eastern markets packed in

superior To tho same kind of butter
