A Boys Resolution.

A little lad of seven stood one day
and looked upon a man struggling in
the grasp of delirium tremens. AS he
watched his contorted face and saw his
hands wildly clutching after the fends
which were about to tear his flesh with
red-hot pincers, he grew pale and heart
sick, AS he turned away he made a
solemn resolution never to touch strong
drink.
He carried the vow with him all the
way up into his manhood. There were
temptations enough as he went along.
A young man can not live in society, as
the world goes, without meeting them.
Especially in the Medical College did
he find many merry associates who
would gladly have laughed him out of
his Temperance principles. Oh! how
many have been laughed into a drunk
ards grave-but they could never be
laughed out again.
Step by step the young man rose in
his profession, securing the confidence
and warm attachment of all to whom
he ministered. No one could lay to his
charge that the beginning of his down.
ward career began with the glass his
physician ordered.
A few weeks since this honored ply
stefan, DR.. Edison, addressed the students
at the Medical College in indianapolis.
Though ninety-one years old, he is as
straight as an arrow, with sight and
hearing unimpaired and mind clear
and vigorous still. The students list
ened with profound respect to the story
of his medical career, and perhaps some
will take from it the lesson he always
so strongly impresses, that doctor can
be temperance man. For nearly
seventy years he has practiced medi-
cine in the Genesee Valley, being the
Oldest practitioner inthe State. To his
strict temperance habits he largely at
tributes his hale old age.
So much for boys resolution be-
fore he was eight years old. Who will
say that Band of Hope pledge is of no
use? that children do not know what
they are doing when they sign it? Can
you find child old enough to write his
name who does not know what his
pledge means? l have never seen one.

The Real Inventor Of the Steamboat.

A statue of Robert Fulton has been
erected in the National Hall of Statuarv
in the Capitol, to represent Pennsylvania.
1t was placed in its position yesterday.
Robert Fulton is generally credited with
being the inventor of the steamboat; and
by many people he is also supposed to
have been native of New York. Both
OF these notions are erroneous, He wac
not the inventor of the steamboat; and
he sOaS native of Pennsylvania.
The inventor of the steamboat was
John Fitch. This remarkable man. a
native of that part of old Windsor that
is on the east side of the Connecticut
River and is now included in the newer
township of South Windsor, conceived
the idea of asteanboat while living in
Philadelphia in 1884, twenty-three years
before Fulton started his boat. Fitch
went ahead with his idea-petitioned
Congress in 1885 for aid to build his
vessel, and submitted his model to the
American Philosophical Society of Phila-
delphia. He received some assistance
from individuals, went ahead, built a
boat, the Perseverance, and had it in
actual operation on the Delaware on the
LIST of May, 1887. His engine was the
first double-acting condensing engine
transmitting power by means of cranks
ever constructed. The boat made sew
eral trips, up and down the river; but,
owing to the difficulty of keeping the
piston tight against the comparatively
rough interior surface of the cylinder,
the rate was slow-only three miles an
hour. Fitch then improved it, SO that,
in 1888, it made eight miles per hour.
1t was then put into regular use on the
Delaware.
Fulton saw it-and in later year saw
Fitch's model in Paris, where the inven-
tor had taken it in the vain hope of get
ting French artisans to build a steamer
Fulton, who, unlike Fitch, had the i'm
portant aid of wealthy friends, failed in
an invention of a submarine torpedo
boat. Then he undertook, some seven
teen years after Fitch triumphant dem
onstration on the Delaware, to make q
steamboat to ply on the Seine, at Paris;
but it proved q total failure. He then
went to England and Scotland, and
studied up the mechanism of steam
canal towboat, which, built on wrong
principle, was trying to do work on the
Clyde. Having the means, he bought
powerful engine, of Watts invention, in
England, in 1906, and sent it to the
United States, where, in 1907 he gotit at
work in the first Hudson River steamer,
the Clermont. This boat made five miles
an hour up stream-not equal to Fitch's
boat on the Delaware, twenty years be-
fore.
But Fitch was poor and destined
always to bitter trials and disappoint-
ments. Fulton had powerful friends,
and obtained unjustly the credit of being
the inventor of the steamboat. Fitch
died in disappointment and obscurity in
Kentucky, by an overdose of opium;
Fulton goes into the Hall of Statuary in
the Capitol. But history will yet right
this matter and do justice to John Fitch.

AN EMPLOYER in a certain manufac-
turing town one Saturday paid to his
workmen 500 in crisp new bills that
had been secretly marked. On Mon
day $3.50 of those identical bills were de-

The AVERAGE LIFE of temperate
people, says DR.. Richardson, is sixty
four years and two months, while the
average life of incorporate people is
thirty-fve years and six months. Thus
the average life of drinker is but little
more than half that of non-drinker;
yet we are asked to believe brandy, gin,
whisky and beer are wonderful pro-
moters of health.
HELPS TO THE INTEMPERATE.-Ata
recent Temperance meeting in Phila-
delphia some good advice was given
to the friends of those who are trying
to overcome the habit of alcoholism. AL
ways have at hand something hot, tonic
or refreshing to meet the craving for
ardent spirits. Coffee, tea, cocoa, hot
broth, beef tea, hot milk, ginger tea,
cayenne pepper tea, are all good and
useful beverages in these circumstances.
Aerated drinks-lemon soda, zoedone,
ginger ale-are harmless, the tang be-
ing given by fixed air; but the home
made beers, the life of which depends
directly on fermentation, are dangerous.
Cold milk, buttermilk, whey lemonade,
Hosford's acid phosphate, and dilute
phosphoric acid, are useful. OF the
latter, lew drops in sweetened water
make pleasant drink, and ten cents
worth will last long time. A handful
of oatmeal in a pitcher of water will
make refreshing drink and suitable
for warm weather

In 1916 one bushel of corn would buy
one pound of nails. In 1883 one bushel
of corn will buy fifteen pounds of nails.
In 1916 it took from twenty to thirty
dozen of eggs to buy one bushel of salt.
In 1888 one dozen of eggs will do the
same thing. In 1916 it required sixty.
four bushels of barley to buy one ward
of broadcloth. In 1883 five bushels will
do the business. In 1916 it required one
bushel of wheat to purchase one yard Of
calico. In 1888 one bushel of wheat will
purchase thirty-five yards of better ar.

The Door Knob Mania,

The Paris collectionneurs, having ex-
hausted old china, old books, and old
buttons, being driven to their wits end
for a new fad, have, oddly enough, fixed
upon door knockers. And, as everything
becomes interesting to collector when
opportunities for comparison are afforded,
it is quite extraordinary to see the
number and and variety of the knockers
assembled in the smoking room Of
every dandy who has the least pretension
to taste or fashion. Some of these
knockers are exceedingly curious, afford
ing admirable specimens of the work
manship of the middle ages. Many of
these from Spain and Portugal are
regular chef 'Ceuvres of art. These are
principally in brass-long handles of
solid y etal, admirably chisele3. From
Germs and Belgium the bronze mar
tel is remarkable for the fineness of
work; and the knockers from Italy bear
evidence of the strange fantasies which
sometimes beset the brains OF the rever-
end monks whose convent gates they
once adorned, being representations of
| strange animals and leeriDg monsters,
! such as we fiud in the old chancel stalls
| of our ancient cathedrals. The panoply
of arms, the sporting apparatus, the
rifles aud rods, are all displaced TO
