The Age Of Progress.

The Journal of Education for the current
month contains paper by w. 7. Harris, Ii,
d., on "The Progress of the Race" in which
he says:
The age is one of productive industry. Its
active principle is invention. Mind-not the
body-is the inventive power; the directive
power that can manage and use machines to
advantage is mental, and not physical skill.
The growth of invention is so rapid that the
increase of manufacturing power by the aid
of machinery is said to double, for all the
world, once in seven years. The multiplica-
ton of steam engines, and the improvement
of machines, renders this possible. What
unintelligent hand labor is there that has
any certainty of being in demand ten years
hence? More than this, what trade is there
that can count on using, ten years hence,
just the kind of technical skill that it re-
unires now? = x Il \ x ::
The race to which we, as a people, belong,
is not an indolent race. Look at its history
and study the magnitude and quality of its
achievements. Why has it done all these?
What would it have done if it had not had
ambition and aspiration and much heart
hunger? Have not the Anglo Saxon and Nor
mon races been the most discontented of races
on the planet? What contented race is there
that has accomplished anything for which
mankind are the better?
Our civilization rewards the workman who
is looking beyond the machine he is using to
a better one that he has conceived in his
mind. Arkwright and Whitney, Fulton,
Stephenson and Morse and Bessemer, are
held in high honor as heroes in the conquest
over nature.
We, in America, have much more to urge
US to establish common school education
than this demand of the age of invention for
intelligent labor. We have permitted uni
versal suffrage and the government is of the
majority. If we do not have universal edu-
cation we shall all suffer for it. For we are
tethered to the lowest stratum of our pOpu-
lation, and must accept their influence in
our politics. Nothing but education will
emeliorate it.

Strange Inventions.
New York Times.

Some of the applications made for patents
are very amusing; but however funny the
idea, if it is only original with the applicant.
the patent can be secured. The rights Of
American inventors are sacred, and no COM
missioner of patents dare infringe upon
them 1t will be sad news to many a pru-
dent housewife, to learn that every time that
she pricks hole in an egg with pin she
is violating the patent of an American in
ventor, but such is the case. Years ago an
inventive genius devoted himself to discov-
ering method to prevent eggs from crack
ing during the process Of boiling He solved
the problem by pricking pin-hole in one
end of the egg, through which the air in the
shell was allowed to escape; and the pin
hole he duly patented according to law.
How he manages to collect his royalty is a
mystery, but the fact remains that he has
legal claim for royalty on every pin-hole made
in eggs before boiling. An application has re-
Gently been made for the patent of ma
chine to prevent young orphan chickens
from being lonely. This is an invention
which should probably commend itself
to Mr.. Bergh. The inventor claims that hum
dreds of chickens Matched out in the artifi-
cial incubators become lonely when they
miss the ''cluck cluck !" of mother hen,
which is the lullaby of all well-regulated
chickens Matched in the natural way and
many are killed by this loneliness. He has
arranged system cf clockwork which pro-
duces noise similar to that Of hen, which
he proposes to attach to the incubator, and
on this machine the patent is asked.
A patent was issued on a clog for fowls,
designed to prevent them from scratching in
gardens. 1t consists of wire in the shape
of hairpin, sharp at the points. This is at
tached to the feet of the fowl in such way
that, when it attempts to scratch, the points
enter the ground and prevents the claws from
reaching it, Hens have ever been the sub
ject of much thought on the part of inven-
tors. A nest designed to deceive them into
laying more than one egg daily, which every
respectable bird contributes to the farmers
larder has been devised and patented A
beehive has been patented, the doors of
which attached to the hen-roost in such
manner that when the fowls 60 to rOost, they
close the hive, and thus secure the inmates
against the ravages of the bee-moth and
at daylight when the hens leave the rOOst,
the hive doors are opened and the bees set at
liberty. Even the faithful horse has been
made the subject of optical delusion by the
inventors. A patent has been secured for
what is known as horse-fence. 1t consists
simply OF wire frame placed over the head
of the horse, so that when he approaches
fence, with the laudable desire of jumping
it, he sees the wires above his head, mistakes
them for part of the fence, and concludes
that it is too high for him to leap. These
are some of the curiosities of the patent
office

Baby Lions.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat,

A few days ago the attention of keeper
Weiners, at the Geological Gardens, was
called to a great commotion in the lions cage.
81 knew what was the matter" said Mr.,
Weiners II went to the lions cage and there
Law the lioness licking a pretty little cub
about q minute old. She was as prOudas only
such animals can be, but as savage as meat
axe The old lion sat back On his launches in
one corner looking very much interested,
but he knew better than to venture near to
offer his congratulations. She would have
scratched his eyes out. Lions, tigers and all
these fesh-eaters are curious about that. Inc
mother of cubs will not allow her lord near
her or her young for weeks after their blrth,
for the reason, l suppose, that he may eat
them. They are apt to do it especially IN cap
tivity After a good deal oftrouble this morn
ing, got the lion and liOness separated, and
put her with her cub in the adjoining cage
with dark compartment for the cub. She
went in the latter place ut once was IN there
q couple of hours, and think, from the var
iety of noises this afternoon, there is more
than one cub there now.' There certainly
seemed to be- for the cries that came there
from sounded like sixteen dozen cats on the
roof" e.a
Yesterday afternoon the lioness appeared
in her outer cage and seemed the picture OF
contentment The old lion, in his cage adjOin-
ing. watched for her step and seemed all
curiosity and anxiety. But when feecing time
came he garbbed his fourteen pounds OF meat,
and busted himself with it, apparently, to the
exclusion of all other thoughts. When the
lioness got her meat she carried it ut once TO
the dark cage where her cubs lay.

PERSEVERE.

This is a word
That should be heard.
And needed by the high and lowly,
For can and will
Are words that still
Accomplish much, however SLOWLY.
And as we see
The future tree
Within the acorn snugly lying.
Nor cease to grow
Till time will show
4 stately tree the storm defying.
And thus. entwined
Within the mind
And loving heart are virtues tender,
Which, trellised well,
At length will tell,
At mauhoods goal, on palms of splendor.
Full many a soul
Has lost the goal
OF honor by his sloth and signing
While will and can
Have made the man,
Through earnest toll, and simply trying.

acteTiZed Leadville in its second year. The
timber interests in the Northwest are greater
than one would believe. The trade this year
amounts to more than three hundred million
feet Lumber men will appreciate the ex-
tent of these figures. Secretary Seward said,
when he was up in that country good
many years ago, that the navy yard OF the
world would some day be on the shores of
Puget Sound. I would not be surprised if
his prediction would some day be fulfilled.
All varieties of pine and the red fir, very
valuable timber, are to be found in almost
boundless forests This red fir is exported
to South America and to France, where it is
used in ship-building, and many of the coast
ing vessels on the North Pacific are con-
structed Of it.
The fisheries are already so extensive that
ten thousand men are given employment in
them. They stretch along the Columbia
river and Puget Sound for hundreds of miles.
Almost every variety of fish is to be found
there; the salmon cod, sturgeon, herring
smelt, trout, perch, grayling and halibut
The whaling interests may also be reckoned
with the fisheries. don't see why those
shores should not some day boast the greatest
fisheries in the world-greater than any of
the French or Mediterranean or the New

terest this year brought ten millions of dol
lars. When one considers the natural ad-
vantages which the country possesses-its
great mines of precious and baser metals, its
wheat fields, farming land, valleys in which
fruit will grow as well as in California; its
inexhaustibIe timber forests and great fish
cries; when one thinks of these things and
couples them with the fact that the North
west has not yet made its first long stride
towards civilization, one cannot help feeling
that great empire will one day be bdilt
there, and that the day is not far distant"
"How about the towns ~ asked the re-
porter, with thought of speculating in cor
ner lots.
HALEY, Boise, Baker City, Walla Walla,
Portland and Seattle are very promising.
Portland, you probably know, is the second
wealthiest city, according to population in
the United States, while Haley, on Wood
river, now the smallest Of the number, bids
fair to be the Denver of that country. It is
beautifully located in mineral region more
promising than was Colorado ten years ago
and having tributary to it magnificent
farming, forest and stock-raising region

Mrs. Strahorn travelled nearly 10000 miles,
1000 miles of which was by stage and pri-
vate conveyance.

How Mercury Salivates.
. Dublin (Ga.) Post.

dublin (Ga.) POST
On Monday young Mr.. Watson stepped
into drug store at Dublin, Ca. and asked
for chlorate of potash to use on the mouth
of his brother, who, he said, was salivated.
How did it happen 2" we asked, thinking
it a good time to point moral that would
put a check on popular misapprehension
about calomel and cold water
90" said he, "he took calomel and with
out thinking put his hands into cold water,
and it salivated him.
The cold water had nothing to do with
it, we told him and asked him if his brother
had eaten any fish.
"Yes," he replied, she ate heartily Of fish
after taking the calomel, and l suppose the
fish caused the calomel to salivate him."
NO, the fish had no more to do with it
than the cold water"
What then?"
1T was the large quantity of salt (chlor-
ide of sodium) on the fish, combining chemi-
cally with the calomel (chloride of mercury
and forming bi-chloride of mercury (corro-
sive sublimate This corrosive sublimate
formed in the laboratory of the stomach is
what did the mischief When you take
calomel avoid salt and salty food as you
would the most deadly poison. When sick
people eat salty food they are apt to drink
water freely, and if salivated they lay the
blame on the water. The only wonder about
it is that so many escape with life And for
the reason that all who take salt and calo-
mel in the stomach together are not killed
outright, some scientific men are doubtful as
to the foregoing theory"
Considering the prevalence of calomel-
taking in this community and the misappre-
hension of most people concerning the nature
of this potent drug, we thought the above
remarks might not be inopportune.
