Very Silly Ladies.

Since Gilmore's band has been Civ
ing concerts at the Southern eXpoSi-
ton. society has had a toothsome
morsel for discussion in the craze
among the young ladies of the city
over Fred Innes, the trombone soloist
of the band. lines is handsome fell
low, about thirty-siX Y. rs old, six
feet high, with a "killing' mustache
and eyes. The young women have
gone wild over him. Day after day
they have fought for front seats,
haunted him during interm;ssions
sought introduction5, written letters
to him, and repeated to wild eXtraya-
gance the story Of Bunthorne and the
signing maidens. The consequence
has been that the city papers have
published articles about the craze and
Fagaro Illustrated the matter.
To day the Courier-Jou'nal attacked
lines flercely, saying he had deserted
his wife and children, was deserter
from the British army, and had shown
so little respect for the women who
had made fools Of themselves for him
as to promenade the Exhibition halls
with notorious women. The article
has created great sensation here.
Among the ladies who have wor-
shipped Innes are a number who are
well known in the highest society,
who have walked with him and spent
hours lettering in popular tea stand
with him, where he was surrounded
by bevy of admiring girls. For two
weeks the young men have been in
dignant, and would not attend the
concerts. Two young ladies had a
fight over front seat commanding a
good view of the popular idol. To
days attack wins Innes sympathy, as
it is recognized that it is rot his fault.
He has simply accepted homage that
he did nothing to induce.

In selectinr birds to breed from '

In selecting birds to breed from you
will get much handsQmer chickens if
you select your birds for beauty of
form and trueness of plumage to the
established type of the breed, rather
than for their size. An oyergrown
bird is seldom as good a breeder as
one of medium size. and while the
large ones may get one or two larger
chickens than the others, the flock
will usually be the heaviest from the
smaller bird. While this is most mark
ed in the case of the male, it will be
well to follow the same with the fe-
male. "A good form and erect car
riage indicates a good constitution,
and large size does not; on the con-
trary it often indicates weakness in
some point. The sams rules apply to
nearly all animals as well as to poul-
try.

Inventions of a Half Century.

The number of inventions that have
been made during the past fifty years
is unprecedented in the history of the
world. Inventions of benefit to the
human race have been made in all
ages since man was created; but
looking back for half hundred years,
how many moro ar crowded into tn G
past fifty than into any other fifty
since recorded history. The perfec.
ton of the locomotive, and the now
world-trav ersing steamship, the
telegraph, the telephone, the
audiphone, the sewing ma
chine, the photograph, chromo-litho-
graphic printing, the cylinder printing
press, the elevator for hotels and
other many-storied buildings, the cot
ton gin and the spinning jenny. the
reaper and mower, the steam thresher,
the steam fire engine, the improved
process for making steel, the applica-
tion of chloroform and ether to de-
stroy Sensibility in painful surgery
cases, and so on through a long cata-
lOgue. Nor are we yet done in the
field of invention and discovery. The
application of coal gas and petroleum
to heating and cooking operations is
only trembling on the verge
of successful experiment, the in
PRODUCTION OF the steam from great
central reservoir to general use for
heating and cooking is foreshadowed
as among the coming events; the arti-
fetal production of butter has already
created q CONSERVATION among dairy
men, the navigation OF the Dir by some
device akin to our present balloon
would also cnam tO he nrOfiuurpd and
the propulsion Of machinery by cleo
by the march Of experiment. There
are some problems we have hitherto
deemed impossible, but are the mys-
teries of even the most improbable of
them more subtle to grasp than that
of the ocean cable or that of
the photographer or the telephone?
We talk by cable with an ocean roll
ing between; we speak in our voices
TO friends hundred miles or more
from where we articulate L. lore the
microphone. Under the Living sun
of July We produce ice by chemical
means, riYaling the most solid and
crystalline production Of nature. Our
surgeons graft the skin from one
persons arm TO the face of another,
and it adheres and becomes an integ-
raj portion OF his body. We find a
mile of white printing paper and send
1t on spool that perfecting print
ing press unwinds and prints. and de-
livers to you, folded and counted,
many thousands per hour. Ola YER
ity this is the age of invention, nor
has the world reached stopping
place yet.
