Inventions OF Half q 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 hu.
man race have been made in all ages
since man was created, but looking back
for half q hundred years, how many more
are crowded into the pae. fifty than into
any other fifty since recorded in history.
The perfection of the locomotive, and
the now world'traversing steamships, the
telegraph, the telephone, the audipLone,
the sewing machile, the photograp ph, the
cylinder printing press, chrome li.hograph
printing, the elevator for hotels aud other
many s:oried buildings, the cotton gin
and the spinning jenuey, the reaper, the
mower, the steam thresher, the stea m fire
engine, the improved process for making
steel, the application of ether and chlo-
roform to destroy sensibility in painful
surgery cases. and so on through long
catalogue. 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 ex.
pertinent, the Introduction of the steam
from great central reservoir to general
use for heating and cooking is foreshad.

artificial production Of butte r has already
created a CONSERVATION among dairymen,
the navigation of the air by soIne device
akin to our present balloon would also
seem to be prefgured, and the propulsion
of machinery by electricity is now clearly
indicated by the march of experiment.
There are some problems which we have
hitherto deemed impossible of solution,
but are the mysteries of even the most
improbable of them more subtle to grasp
than that of the ocean cable or that Of
the photograph or the telephone? We

Three Ieaga q nay.

An English writer gives some much.
quency of meals. In his opinion the
present usual practice of three meals, q
day has good reason, as we'll aa custom,
In its fi.vor. Whea work o. any hind 10
being done, whether mental or bodily,
the Intervals between taking food should
not be &c. long as to entail demands on
the .system when its store OF material for
the generation Of force is exhausted.
An ordinary full meal, IN the case Of q
healthy man, is generally considered to
have been completely digested and to
have passed out of the stomach In
four hours. a period Of rest should
then be granted TO the stomach. Assam.
ing that Two hours are allowed for this,
the interval between one meal and auoth-
er would be six hours; and this accords
with the experience or most mem Dn.

therefore, between. The LAST laeal Of one
day and the iirst of the nlsxt may Be
longer, as It generally is, than between
the several day meals. . Assuming that
breakfast be: taken between s or 8 o'clock,
there should be,a mid. day meal about /

In storm. Scores Of people, some of
them grey headed old men, were conver.
ted and began a new life that day. All
the world may forget Bishop Pierce, but

extinct. Few will be greater and none
purer than he was. With oil his friends
and honors and fame, bis heart was not

in q country where moth and rust doth
not corrupt and where thieves do not

the Gospel of the Son of God to the third
generation OF men, and when at last, in
the shodow Of two worlds, he came to
face the last enc my of man, the grace he
had recommended for others was suffi cient
for him. -Four months ago he preached
the fur e:al sermon of his aged colleague.
Bishop Hubbard II. Kavanaugh, in
Nashville. To look back now it seemed
that then the Sunset Of life gave him

said: "Time like an ever rolling stream

He has to burn the world and sift the
ashes to find him. OF truth, "the day

After all, the death of men like Bishop

and was mighty in counsel, It was as q
"camp meeting preacher" that he was at

Camp meetings, as they once were, are

Fillmore, after studying Law and moving
10 Buffalo, did not see his afianced wife
for three years, because he was too poor
to pay the fare Of the 150 miles which lay
between them. Mrs. Fillmore was two
years older than her husband, and she
was % years old when their marriage
took place. She died in 1858. Presi.
dent Fillmore survived her 81 years, and
married tho woman who it Is said became
insane before she died. Mrs. Fillmore
was a preachers daughter, and 90 were
Abigail Adams and Mrs Frank Pierce.
She was the same age as Mrs. Fillmore at
the time Of her marriage, and her COCOON
was a member of congress when he mar.
ried her. Mrs Pierce was somewhat
like Mrs. Hayes in the rigid piety with
which she observed Sunday at the white
house. It. was her custom to ask the
employees to 60 TO church. She did not
like society, and she made the executive
mansion as far as possible a christian

after many years, he became president,
abe was too i'll to do the honors of the
White House, and her daughter took her

with the population of our city more than
doubled in the last five years. All this
is q great surprise to visitors and is the
admiration of our citizens. This rapid
growth, the business activity, and the
many substantial improvements made a
lively demand for Omaha real estate, and
every investor has made Q handsome

there has been less demaud from specula-
tors, but a fair demand from investors
seeking homes. This latter class are
taking advantage of low prices In build
