Another man-this time citizen of

stopping of the car, and helps the horses
by giving the car a shove ahead as it
unwinds. s.-DcnUer Tribune.
All the scholars who graduated
from the Yorkshire school of cookery
last spring have found places at salaries
ranging from $3.50 to $500, and the En-
gIish papers begin to think that a new
industry for women has been discov-
cred.
The nearest approach to perpetual
motion is found IN some modern clocks,
which are made self-winding by an in

"A patent granted this year to Grun-
Zwcig and Hartman, in Ludwigshafen

paste mass is pressed into forms and
then dried in hot rooms.
--Ripening and purifying wines and
strong liquors is done by the Electric
Liquor Company, of California, by
means of an electric current. BY this
process the liquor is freed from all its
poisonous essential oils, and the work
of from three to six years is done in a
few hours. Light clarets are treated in

No other industry in this country
has increased as rapidly in the past as
sheep and wool growing. TO fully un-
derstand the great rate of increase it is
only necessary to remember the fact
that in 1880 there were only about %,
OCO,OOO sheep in the United states. We
now have nearly 50,0O0,OO0. In 1886
the wool clipped amounted TO only Co.

Croons Ethel, in the sunget glow.

She soOthes her dolly into rest.

The restless little feet are still;
Grave now, and sweet, the laughing eyes;
AL mOtherly in look and tone
She sits and rocks and sings alone,
While red the daylight dies.
u Oh, hushaby, my baby, hush!"
She draws a sleepy little sigh;
On Dolly's cheek of faded red
Low drops the sunny, tired head
"Oh, hush, oh, hushaby!"
The song is ended in dream;
Across her face the sunbeams creep,
While Dolly's eyes wide open stare.

Has sung herself 10 sleep,
