When Will Men Fly?

A Mr.. Crandell of Brooklyn says he
is sure that he can invent a machine by
which men can fly through the air as
easily as birds and many insects. 1t
seems that there are twelve different
ways of getting through the air used in
nature. But insects and birds never
use any form of gas. Their bones are
hollow, and the strength of the air.
Mr. Crandell's idea is that the bird
should be the model for an air machine
just as the fish is the proper model for
boat; he would have enormous wings,
made of papier mache and controlled
by electricity. His idea is to fill the
wings with holes, which will be covered
on the under side with thin shutters
made of light paper, opening down.
wards, so that when the wings are
raised against the air they will be
sleeves, and the resistance of the air
will be lessened; and when they are
lowered they will beat solidly against
the air. A description of this machine
reminds one of DIR. Johnson's story of
Rasselas, in which bold inventor tried
to make an erial vessel which would
transform man into species of flying
squirrel or owl. 1t should be remem-
bered that thousands of ingenious
minds are at work upon some invention
that will enable man to conquer the air
as completely as he has the land and
the sea. Much was expected from a
Russian who had discovered method
of exploding dynamite in such way
as to overcome the resistance of the air.
Instead of permitting this dangerous
substance to be discharged at once, he
had some device by which he was en-
abled to explode it, as it were, by de-
grees; but, unhappily for science, the
Russian proved to be Nihilist, and
was sent to Siberia while still engaged
in his experiments. There is scarcely
a doubt but what man will sometime or
other succeed in navigating the air.
The telegraph, the telephone, and even
the steam engine, perform marvellous
exploits really greater than that of
aerial fight; for numberless birds and
insects have been performing that feat
since the dawn of creation.

The BARRIERS.

Most gentlemen have their peculiar
tiles about the arrangement of their
hair-the parting of it, the disposal of
the bang, the manipulation of the ear
locks. BARRIERS have an instructive APP
athy, however, for these whimsical no.
tons, and unless forced to do otherwise
insist on exercising their own genius
for hirsute ornamentation on every
victim with towel tucked under his
chin. Oddly enough, the BARRIERS do
not lead off in the various changes
which are noted to take place on the
heads of fashionable men. Tailors and
like outfiters dictate to their customers
what they shall put on. The barber,
however, who bears the packhorse's
load in the Identification of mankind,
has combed hair just as he does now
since bag wigs and the Pompadour
went out of style.-Syracuse Standard.

Home Rule.

The farmer sat in his old chair,
Rosy and fair.
"Kate, 1 elieve,"
He said to his wife, who was knitting near,
we need not fear
The hard times here,
Though the leaf of life is yellow and sere.
az am the king, thou art the queen
OF this fair scene;
Our love is green
As when thou vert a village maid,
And l, blade,
In love-afraid
NY fondest hopes would be delayed.
"Now, whether the days he dim or fine,
In rain and shine,
Here, thine and mine,
Are cattle, grazing upon the hill,
Taking their fill,
And sheep so still,
Like many ruled by single will.
"These barnyard fowls, our subjects all,
They heed the call,
Both great and small
When we scatter for them the grain.
IT'S not in vain
We live and reign,
In this our happy, fair domain
"Unvexed with shifting stocks and shares,
And bulls and bears,
And the affairs
Of speculation in mart and street,
In this retreat
Sweet Peace can meet
Plenty that's crowned with braided Wheat"

Not SYMPTOMS, but the Disease.

1t would seem to be truth appreciated by all,
and especially by professors of the healing art,
that to remove the disease not to alleviate its
symptoms, should be the chief aim Of medica-
ton. Yet in how many instances do we see this
truth admitted in theory, ignored in practice. The
reason that Hostetters Stomach Bitters is cue
cessful in so many cases. with which remedies
previously tried were inadequate to cope, is at
tributable to the fact that it is medicine which
reaches and removes the causes Of the various
maladies to which IL is adapted. Indigestion,
fever and ague, liver complaint, govt, rheuma-
tism, disorder Of the bowels, urinary affections
and other maladies are not palliated merely, but
rooted out by it. 1t goes to the fountain head.
1t is really, not nominally, a radical remedy,
and 1t endows the system with an amount OF Wig
OF which is its best protection against disease.
