FLYING MACHINES.

Angeles most beautiful angels, and ask
them if they like it, and all will say they
do, very enthusiastically. Then ask them
why they like it. and nineteen out Of the
twenty will say because it has wings.
The desire to fly, to go soaring through
the air like birds and butterflies in defiance
of turnpikes and railroads and ships and
steamboats,, is and always has been fore
most among mortal wishes and this ambi-
tion is not limited to boys and love-sick,
dreaming youths, but has been the cause of
deep study and close investigation by
learned men well-versed in the laws
of physics and the principles of philoS-
ophy. 1t is probable that more time has
been spent in trying to invent flying
machines than on any one of the
many other mechanical contrvances, and it
would not lie far out of the way to say more
than on any dozen Inventions including the
steanl-engine, the reaper, the printing-press,
the telephone and electric telegraph. The
idea of flying was running in the heads of
people five thousand or six thousand years
ago, and pretty little stories about Daeda-
lus, Icanus aud others were told to the
children as nursery tales before the Egyp-
tian pyramids were qualried or Cinnamon

time people have been thinking and dream
ing and specializing on the same subject.
The monks of the middle ages are said to
have invented machine by which they
flew over prison walls, and thus escaped
certain physical indignites that were UNI

and Friar Bacon are both credited with
knowing how to fly; and the latter has left

Two Funerals.

There was curious and trying cpl

Up Kearny street came French
funeral with a band and the usual pro-
cession. Down Bush street came q
German funeral; with band and q
procession the same. At the intersec-
ton of the two streets the professions
met. There arose question of prece-
dence, and pending its decision the two
bands played at one another Their
respective dead marches to the irrever-
ent amusement of crowd of unsyin-
pathetic lockers on. Finally the police
came along and settled the question
and then the two hearses got mixed up
and for some time the French process
sion was moving with the German
hearse and vice versa. The awkward
part of it is that even now some OF the
mourners are wondering if they buried
the right man in the right place. SO"

Live Stock in the South.

When one rides through the South in
steam cars comparatively little live
stock is seen; but nevertheless one
quarter of the live stock of the country
is owned and fed in the South. Texas,
of course, helps the other fifteen South
ern States out, but all the Southern
States are better off in this respect than
is generally thought The South has
5000, 100000 invested in milch cows,
oxen, other cattle, sheep, hogs, horses
and mules. The South owns one third
of the mich cows, oxen, other cattle
and hogs of the country, or fully her
proportion according to population.
One-quarter of the sheep of the country
are kept in the South, when ten years
ago the proportion was only one
