Origin OF the Game of Billiards.

The game of billiards was invent
ed about the middle of the sixteenth
century by London pawnbroker
named William Kew. In wet wealth
er this pawnbroker was in the habit
of taking down the three;balls. and
with the yard measure pushing them
billiard fashion, from the counter
into the stalls; in time the idea Of a
board with side pockets, suggested
itself. A black letter manuscript
says: Master Kew did make one
board whereby a game is played
with three balls, and all the young
men were greatly recreated thereat,
chiefly the young clergymen from
st. Pawles; hence one of We strokes
was named cannon having been
by one of We said clergymsn invent
ed. The game is now known by
the: ::nameof billyard," because Will
liam or Bill Kew did first play with
a yard measure. The stick is now
called a kew or 'kue.'" II is easy
to comprehend how bill-yard has
been modernized into billiard"
and the transformation of "kue"
into cue" is equally apparent.

The Impertinent Boy Thief.

People who reside in sunburban
towns and on country places near
such towns who happen to have
apple orchards, or peach orchards.
or gardens with q few select fruit
trees in them, are constantly annoy
ed by groups of small boys, who
break through or jump the fences
and steal the fruit, but who in the
absence of the men of the house, are
often outrageously impertinent to
the ladies. The impertinent boy
thief is usually quick on his feet;
can escape any ordinary pursuer,
and it is not always pleasant to be
obliged to keep savage dog to chase
such thieves, Besides, when dogs
have been used for such purposes
the dogs, no matter what their val
ue, are soon poisoned.
When the proprietors of such
places have the impertinent boy
thief arrested the Courts make
the sentences as light as
possible, make conviction difficult
and the penalty light, and the own
ers of the gardens or orchards stolen
from fear that their prosecutions,
though entered into in pure self
defense, will result in the burning
of their barns or houses. For the
impertinent boy thief, like the gov
ernment service thief, is yindictive
as well as base and saucy. Residents
of cities little dream to what extent
this outrage en- the rights of country
people is practiced or how helpless
these people are. When thieves of
millions 90 unpunished tits difficult
to Insist upon any sense of honor IN
the conduct of the impertinent boy
thief in the country.
The prevailing tendency among
people thus imposed on is to bear
the stealing and impudence of the
thievs rather than risk other and
greater injuries. 1t is easy to see
how this course is a wrong to the
thiever and to the community, but
it is not easy to suggest a remedy.
It's clear that men who own orchards
and houses must defend them
Society cannot exist without that
fundamental safeguard. But the
dog does not work long. The courts
offer little hope, and dangerous as
it is, some men in utter desperation,
yet from deliberate motives, have
resorted to fine shot and the shot
gun. 1t is dangerous precedent.
But respectable citizens should not
in any case give place to the outlaw.
The severest remedy is better than
that.

To the North Pole in a Balloon.

Much has been said as to the pos
sibility of reaching the north pole
in a balloon, and a recent writer
has received numerous letters from
people who declare that they can
direct an aerostat. His reply to
such communications is that he will
be very.glad to make the gentlemenin
question a present of fl00 If they
viii select two places, twenty miles
apart, 20 in free aerosta from one
spot to another, and return, without
anchoring the balloon or recharg-
ing 1t with gas, provided that they
on failing to do this will give him
Go to assist charity. Any person
who subscribes to q scheme for
reaching the north pole in a balloon.
with our present knowledge of aeros-
tatics, can not be practically acquain-
ted with the matter. So far as the
solution of the problem how to nav
igate the air is concerned, we believe
that balloons have done more harm
than good The attention of inven-
tors has been diverted from what is
probably the only feasible way to
obtain the desired end-namely,
the construction of a machine which
itself heavier than the atmosphere
will be able to strike blow on the
air in excess ofits own weight. Ma
chinery worked by steam is much
too heavy for this purpose, electrici-
ty some day perhaps will beavaila-
bic. An engineer who had made
electricity his study recently inform
ed an assembly of gentlemen that
in the cource of the next ten years
he believed it would be possible to
compress enough electricity in
substance the size OF an eggshell to
drive an express train from London
to Liverpool. Science has not ar
rive at this point yet, but who can
tell, after the telephone, the phono-
graph, ana the other marvellous dis
coyeries of Edison, wha. it may do
in the future? Inventors should
never forget That a bird is heavier
than the air, and that the bird flies
because its strength enables it to
overcome the difference between its
weight and that of the atmosphere
it displaces. To put the case in
nut shell, aerial navigation is a mere
question of lightness and force

One Widow and Her Spoons

There is now residing in Massa.
chusetts a widow passed ninety years
of age, who tells the following facts
of her experience as widow with
whom the law dealt: She married
young. To furnish her wedding
outfit she spun and wove. With the
money thus earned she laid in stores
of useful things. Silver spoons
were among the articles thus bought.
BY these she set special store, for
silver spoons in those DAYS were
not found in every house.
1t wos not long before this young
wife was d widow. Then the law,
which had given all she possessed to
her husband, now lnterposed again
to see that nothing which belonged
to the heirs of the husband should
fall into the han6s of the widow.
The spoons belonged TO the husband
they would go to his heir. The
young widow pleaded for her spoons
and it was finally agreed that if she
would pay the money value of them
she might have them. Forthwith
she began to spin and weave, and
with the money soearned she bought
back her spoons.
BY and by she married second
