The CornhM Maaa-ine.l

The Arab looks very well on horseback,
though he might not altogether suit the taste
of the shires. His saddle is generally red,
peaked before and behind, and placed upon sew
eral colored felt saddle cloths; the stirrup
brOadens out so as to give a wide space for the
foot to rest on; it is pointed at the corners,
thereby enabling the rider TO tear the horses
ribs even without the aid of pointed stick or
a steel spear-like spur which he often pushes in
between his slipper and the stirrup side. The
Arab soldier, with his white burnOus fiuttering
behind him, his high red saddle and saddle
cloths. his knees high and body bent forward,
with his long silver-mounteA gun iourishing

of dust. the very embodiment of the picturesque,
exultant war spirit Of past ages, not sObered

A Mnne,.MalInr Inreniinn-

Some genius has lately discovered little con-
iryance which, when attached to a scale such
as is usually used by grOcers for weighing their
heavier goods, collects a nickel from everybody
who weighs himself thereon, and il is said has
sold his patent for hRlf million dollars The
device is little more than simple cOiled spring
concealed somewhere in the box which incloses
the scale You step on the platform. deposit a
nickel in the slot prepared for il, aud a dial
indicator in front Of you Immediately points to
your weight. IL you put in more or less than a
nickel the indicator does not move. 1t will
not bulge for dime or a penny, but proceeds
10 business at once ON receiving nickel. 1t is
so cunningly contrived that no more than one
person can be weighed for the same nickel, and
no scheme has yet been found TO beat IL. A
company has been organized to build the ma

Some reports have been circulated that
another serious earthquake would occur
upon the 26ta Of September, and our opin-
ion has been asked. 1t may prove true,
but we are not aware of any good reason
for It. Science is inclined to the opinion
that earthquakes come from the same
causes as rainfalls and storms-a dis
turbed condition OF the earth. The
Charleston earthquake is supposed to
have been caused by some local condition
under the sea. Earthquakes and auroras
occur generally during the Jovian period,
OF which 1889 is the climax. Our next
best chance for rain is about September
