;nent, including Constipation, Indiges-

Great Inventions.

Who are the inventors of the really
"great mechanical inventions -? 1t was
doubtless great in some senses to invent
an arrow head, stone axe, an iron sword
but these inventions of the worlds child

the races rather than of individuals, and
are not available in argument, as little is

Four Children from Over Sea.

Little nine-year-old Marie Woodti, with
a tiny Alpine hat set jauntily on her
t1axen head, climbed up out of the steerage
of the steamer Canada yesterday, and
stepped tremblingly into Castle Garden.
All the officials and clerks made break

She wore a short Swiss dress of bright
colored cloth, and had little Alpine
knapsack strapped to her shoulder. In
her pocket was little wallet full of
money. Dangling from her neck were

Marie arrived in tears. He strobe ahead
in manly fashion, holding the hand of
his little fve-yearold sister, while his
nine-year-old brother walked beside him.

Active at Ninety Years.

Long Island is said to be noted for be-
ing one of the healthiest st ctions in this
country, where people live so long they
just about get tired of this world "and
kind of blow away like to the happy land
beyond" 1t was only the other day that
an active gentleman of ninety years of
age hustled into our office to have hand
bills printed to boom his business, driv-
ing some ten miles to accomplish this
object. Here any number of farmers past
seventy can be found at work in their
fields, and it must astonish the city peo-
pie to see men of fifty, they call them
"boys," sent out TO play ball, leap.frog,
and other juvenile games, and girls of the
same age just beginning to think about
getting married. Long Island is won

"Well," said Kate, when this was

we did not run into debt, and we did not
quarrel. 1t would be too much to say
that we never differed, but our differences
were never bitter.
We used to think sometimes that Beth
shirked her share of the work, but she
was the sweetest.tempered creature living
and was always willing to make amends
Then we had to hold tight rein on Kate,
who was apt to want luxuries out of sea-
son at exorbitsnt prices, and was some
times trial about the cooking, being alb.
sent-minded and apt to burn things up.
As to Mamie, she was never anything
but comfort. We didn't keep her long,
for one day, toward our first Thanksgiv-
ing, there was an unusual hutter in the
house. We trimmed the rooms with flow.
ers, and tied white satin ribbon on the
Climax; the minister and few friends
came in, and almost before we knew it,
Mamie and the young architect had gone
off together in hack, with the Climax
wailing in a basket on the front seat.
But this did not break up the society,
for another good friend stood ready to fill
the vacancy, and stepped promptly in.
And did we not find the work too hard ?
Well, sometimes it seemed bother, but,
divided among four, it was not oppressive
and if the larder got empty or other work
pressed, we took our dinners out for a
day or two.
And we did not get tired of it, but after
three years. trial of this plan are more
and more satisfied, for it is home. We
leave it in the morning with regret, and
return to it gladly at night, feeling that
it is ours-that we are not there on suf-
ferance, but by right. Aud the sense of
security and permanency encourages us
