AERIAL NAVIGATION.
Why 1t Il improbable That Man Should
BE Able to Fly.

Why 1t Il improbable That Man Should
BE Able to Fly.
Painters who represent angels float
ing in the air with small wings may
make q charming picture. but it is sadly
unscientific. To carry the body of even
small woman, weighing, say, one hum
dred pounds, would require machine
at least four horsepower. as one horse
power would be required to move
twenty-five pounds. This would call
for wings, surprising we had the ma
chine to work them, of enormous size.
The birds found far out at sea, known
as Mother Carey's chickens, seem TO be
large, but when killed, and the BODY
stripped of feathers, it is not much
bigger than a canary bird. And SO of
all birds capable of extended flight
Mans strength, it is estimated. would

before he could fly, and then he would
be forced to contine himself to dead
calm weather. Currents of air have
often o velocity Of twenty miles per
hour. a fact which shows how mighty
must be the power man must command
before he can launch himself upon the
air and compete with even the slowest
birds; yet 1t seems to be settled by scien-
fists that air navigation must be by
means of fiight-that gas can never
solve the problem. There must be an
extremely powerful motor, and some
apparatus that will do the same service
for man that feathers and wings do for
birds. -Demoyests Monthtu.

Feminine EOLlIES.
Wherein English and American WomeI
Differ in Extravagant Ideas of Dress.

Wherein English and American Women
Differ in Extravagant Ideas of Dress.
There is one crying sin, however, of
which the English women of this gener-
alton are more guilty than their Ameri-
can sisters, and that is the sin of tight
lacing. The waists of the majority are
absurdly drawn in, the more absurdly
because it destroys the roundness and
perfection of the English figure. The
elderly Engliswoman runs to flesh; so
does the elderly American; and in time
each of them learns to accept the fact,
and sinks down into comfortable age
with its attendant inches and avoirdu-
pois. But the natural size of a waist to
accompany thirty six or thirty-eight-
inch bust measure would be TWEEN
ty-three or twenty -four, inches, and
when it is reduced by compression to
from eighteen to twenty inches this is
an actual loss of beauty of form as well
as detrimental to the health. Doubtless
there are some foolish girls and women
in America who crowd their breathing
apparatus into smaller space than nat
ure intended; but, the average size of
the American waist being less. there is
perhaps less temptation to reduce it,
and the general appearance of women
in any large American city shows that
the natural standard is more nearly
preserved than in London at the pres
emit time. On the other hand, we sin
more in the matter of bustles and
tournures. Such shelf of projecting
bracket at the back of the skirt as may
be seen any day and any minute of any
day upon Broadway is not visible in
any part of London. The extension of
the dress is confined to ruffies and two
or three steels at the back or to pair
Of steels and pad of small mattress
fastened ON the tailor-made (cloth)
gowns to the skirt itself Women of
fashion have quite discontinued the use
of the removable excrescence called the
hustle nor could one be worn with the
close side draperies which are so much
used and which so perfectly outline the
form.-London Cor. Minneapolis Press.

a LEAF FROM HISTORY.
Striking Similarities Between the Polite
Situation Then and Now.

Striking Sinilarities Between the Political
Situation Then and Now.
There are some striking similarities
between the present political situation
and the situation of affairs during Jeffer.
sons first Presidential term.
Like the Republican party of to-day,
the Federalsts had been for some time
in power. They were largely identi-
fed, too. with the successful leaders of
the Revolution, with Washington and
Hamilton, and its military heroes, just
as the Republican party is with Lincoln,
Grant and the heroes of the Civil War.
Like the Republican party, they were
allied with the more wealthy and aris-
tocratic elements of the day, and at
tracted to them the extravagant and the
ostentatious. If they did not despise
economy in the public service. they dis
regarded it. They .d;sdained simpli-
city. They preferred excessive and UNI
necessary machinery in Government
They exaggerated. as the party in
power is apt to do, the functions OF the
Federal Government, and belittled the
State Governments.
Like the Republicans of to-day the
Federalists believed that nearly one
half of the people of the United States

FOURTH GLASS POST-OFFICES.

Convincing Proof That the Party VIII
Control the Governmental Machinery.
President Cleveland's policy in re-
gard to fourth-class post-offices will
certainly prove most beneficial to the
country. Changes in these Offices are
now being made rapidly, the Republic
an incumbents being, removed and
their places filled with Democrats
Statistics from Washington show that
during the month of July over TWO
thousand changes in the fourth-class
offices were made in the time from
March 4 to June 80, inclusive. Not
only does this policy insure an honest
and efficient service, but it equally in
sures harmonious and united Democ-
racy. When the Administration mani
tests so decidedly its confidence in the
party it represents. and its adherence
to the principles of that party, the eff
fort of Republicans who call themselves
performers" to create false impressions
and foster Democratic discomfort, will
prove fruitless. During the TWEEN
ty-five years the Republican party
was in power it used the fourth
class post-offices as a part of its
political machine to maintain its
supremacy. AS such they exerted
great and harmful influence. Every
Republican postmaster was the agent
for Republican campaign papers and
political documents. Many of them
were themselves editors of Republican
papers. In every possible way they OPP
posed Democracy.
President Cleveland's firm and manly
course in regard to them is convinc-
ing proof that the Democratic party
will control the machinery of Govern
ment, and administer public affairs on
a basis of correct ideas. 1t establishes
the fact that the right of the people to
change their servants by voting out OF
power the party to which those servants
belong has not been for moment lost
sight of.
Desirable as are immediate changes
in the class of offices over which the
Senate claims certain amount of joint
Jurisdiction, it has become manifest
that the delay proceeds from other
causes than the Presidents willingness
to make the changes. Louis Res

A RANCH FOR CHICKENS.

A New Industry in Which Thousands of
Dollars are Invested.
1.-The outlook for the incubator and
poultry supply business is frst-rate.
said a well-known dealer in response
to inquiries made by reporter.
There are many new parties coming
in every day now looking at ma
chimes who intend starting in the
embarrassing business this fall to
make regular trade of it. Incuba-
tors increasing in number? Yes, sir j;
there are in the market from twelve
to fifteen machines of different
patents. We have here in our store
eight of the leading ones in constant
operation night and day. The pr ces
range from 500 to $500 each. with .
varying capacity from fifty to 1000
eggs. AS a rule. a frst-class lneuba-
tor matches from eighty to ninety
per cent. of the fertile eggs that are
put into it. Most of the machines are
automatic in their regulation. SO
that they require very little care"
How much capital does it re-
quire to start in the embarrassing
business?' was asked.
81 know of one party whose CAPT
tai is 800, and of another who we
fitted out the capital for whose
stock was $4,000. All the eight
machines that we keep are Matching
chickens every day. These we send to
our chicken ranch at Franklin. N. J.
Some days our machines hatch out
as many as three hundred chicks.
Yes. the embarrassing business is q
new industry that has sprung up with
in the last two years. But aside from
those who 90 into the business as a
business there are many wealthy
men, owners of country seats, who
have gone into it for the novelty of
the thing. But you will be sur
prised when / tell you. and statis-
tics will prove the truth of the
statement, that the poultry indus
try has become one of the largest
industries in this country. and amounts
to more than even the trade in wheat

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
MY JOLLY PONY.

Did you ever see in your life such fine
Old fellow as this jolly pony of miner
Get up, Master Neddy, no! hob
Now see how he dances and Frances away
As hard as he can, till I'm ready to say: :,
Whoa, whoa, Master Neddy! Whoa! Whoa!'
He'll trot or he'll canter. or gallop or pace,
He'll walk if I tell him, or dash in a race
And Beat everything on the way.
And then he will stand, if l want him to wait
Without being tied, at the door or the gate,
As quiet, the whole of the day.
He never gives trouble, nor wants any care.
No one ever feeds him nor curries his hair
Or makes him bed when it's night.
He never is skittish nor balky-nor kicks,
Nor has bad temper. nor any sly tricks,
But acts as gentleman might. -
There's only one thing can tell you beside,
He's never q pony except when ride;
But stands, till / want him again
Without ever moving, all day on the floor :,
Right there in the corner behind the hail
door
And then he is Grandpa's cane.

A PLEASANT WALK.

Miss Sophia and Little Letty's Adventure
in the Fields.
where are you going, Miss Sophias'
asked Lefty, leaning over the gate.
II am going to walk answered Miss
Sophia. Would you like to come with
me, Letty?"
''Oh, yesr' cried Lefty. al should
like to go very much, indeed! Only
wait, please. while I get my bonnet"
And Lefty danced into the house and
danced out again with her brown poke
bonnet over her sunny hair. Here I
am, Miss Sophiap' she cried. Nov,
where shall we gop'

land through the orchard into the
fields Perhaps we may find some wild
strawberries"
So away they went, the young lady
walking demurely along, while Che lit

now in front, now behind. 1t was
pretty in the green lane; the ferns were
SO soft and plumy, and the moss so

GIRL TYPE Settlers.
Not so Accurate, But as Nimble-Fingeret
and More Trustworthy Than Men.

Not so Accurate, But as Nimble- Fingered
and More Trustworthy Than Men.
At the tall type cases that were
ranged on the top floor of a William
street law and newspaper printing
Office, side by side with the male COM
positors. who were busy at work with
their sleeves rolled up, score of young
women stood swiftly sticking type in
FURNISHED composing sticks. They
worked with great dexterity. and a
bystander who looked On critically
could not have detected that the men
excelled them any in the swiftness with
which they picked the types from the
case and dropped them in place in the
sticks. Their ages ranged from seven
teen to twenty-three years, and they
were all plainly but neatly dressed.
They kept their eyes on the copy
before them. and attended strictly
to business all day long.
''They are all first-class compost,
TORS" the proprietor of the place said
and some of them earn more than the
men, because they stick closer to their
work. The proprietor was veteran
printer himself, and said he had taught
lots and lots of girls to stick type in
his office during the last ten years.
There must be somewhere in the neigh
borhood of 500 girl compositors in the
town now" he added, land most of
them make good living at it. Harper
Brothers and other big firms employ
squads of them in their composing
rooms on certain grades OF work"
How does their work compare with
the men's?"
Very favorably. A little more care
has to be expended in reviewing the
pi oofs than in the case of the men, but
in other respects the women's work is
just about the same. The need of
watching the proofs more closely,
though, makes difference in the rates
of compensation, but as rule the
difference is not more than two or
three cents per thousand ems less than
the rate paid to the men. You know,
male printers are like sailors in their
rowing dispositions, and they like to 60
of and have a good time sometimes,
and they have the good time irrespect-
i've of the demands of business. They
change about from office to Office q
great deal, too, and for this reason
boss printers very often prefer to en-
ploy girls, especially when the job on
hand is something to be done with a
rush within stipulated time. You
can depend upon the girls every time
to come to work promptly and regu-
larry every day"
els there any jealousy among the
men on account of the employment of
women?"
s'Not the least. I never heard q
compositor utter word of complaint
against the competition of women. -

| birds that were building in their branch
es; and the ferns had stories. too, ABOUT
the black velvet mole who lived under
their roots, and who had star on the
end of his nose.
But Lefty and Miss Sophia did not
hear all this: they only heard soft
whispering, and never thought what it
meant.
Presently they came out OF the lane,
and passed through the orchard, and
then came out into the broad, sunny
meadow.
s.Now, Lefty" said Miss Sophia, ''use
your bright eyes and see if you can lind
any strawberries. I shall sit under
tree and rest little.
Away danced Lefty, and soon she
was peeping and peering under every
leaf and grass blade: but no CLEAN OF
scarlet no pretty clusters of red and
white could she see Evidently it was
not strawberry meadow. She came
back to the tree and said:
There are no strawberries at all,
Miss Sophia, not even one. But have

Sophia "a iowerp should like to

Miss Sophia looked in the direction
in which Lefty pointed. and there, to
be sure, was cow, moving slowly
