There is president of a tool building COM
pany in one of our eastern cities who is a
thorough mechanic and a successful inventor
In one Of the draughting rooms is a table
with square, rule, pencil and few other
appliances always on it. Perhaps this table
may be visited three or four times a day by
the president, who win jot down figures,
draw a few lines or make sketch. He may
not come for several days, and he may work
at the board or table for several hours at q
time. At last the work is thought out and its
elnsiveness is fixed by the penciling. The re-
suit is then properly drawn, patterns are
made, the castings are finished and the
machine is completed. All this is the process
of thought-growing, lasting perhaps for
weeks or months During that incubating
time the idea possessed the inventor in as true
a sense as that he possessed the idea. Proba-
bly, no merely literary effort required greater
devotion to its subject, more intense thought
or more exercise of the reason and judgment

A CHASTITY pantomime recalling to mind
Poes narrative of the galvanizing of mum
my, was enacted recently at the Practical
Schooi of Surgery, where the bodies of Frey
and Rviere were place at the disposal of the
surgeons to experiment on. A number of
experiments were made, among them the fol-
lowing, to re-establish circulation in the sew
cred heads: The veins were injected with
blood taken from living animal The skin
of the face, previously livid, became charged
with color. The lips recovered their natural
red and the cheeks filed out. Irregular
movements agitated the skin and the faces
resumed the appearance of life. Electric
currents were passed through the facial
nerves and the contractions of the face were
noted. There were, however, no results in
the slightest degree indicative of any restora-
ton to life or consciousness. The nerves
shortly ceased to betray any sensibility, and it
was evident that all perception and sensation
was at an end--Paris Cor. New York Her.

HORSES FOR STREET CARS.

How They are Cared FORA Fine Team.
What Bergh Has Done.
Passing through a side street a few days
since, in which are kept relays of horses for
the Broadway railroad in cases of emergency,
stopped to watch the care an employee OF the
company was giving to a pair of bays Just
driven up and exchanged for fresh span.
Seeing my interest in the washing Of the
horses mouths and legs, he looked up so
pleasantly that felt emboldened to ask some
questions Among them / said: @How
many horses are there In the Broadway
railroad stables2"
1.-TWO thousand five hundred" he answered;
every span makes one trip one day and two
the next, resting Sundays, when other teams
are used"
slow old is the oldest span on the roadp
do you want to seer Come with me- and
tying the two waiting spans to hitching posts,
he led the way to private stable a little far
Their up the street, in which were four horses
harnessed ready for use. "These," said the
man, putting his hands on the necks of two
grays and patting them, fare Blue and Eagle,
the Oldest horses in the company's use. They
are rs years old, and the Seventh avenue.

spirited pair of horses they seemed, giving
evidence of the kind treatment daily received
at the hands of this humane man, for humane
he certainly is, and really fond of the horses
under his charge. He told me it was fourteen
years since he began taking charge of the
company's horses.
Every time now that pass Blue and Eagles

of unkindness almost amounting to cruelty.
and instances of brutality, but actual abuse
is not tolerated either in public opinion or in
law. The horses Of car companies and differ
ent carriers fare better than dray horses.
Those attached to express and beer wagons
are usually very handsome, large horses, and
evidence their good keeping. Bergh has not
lived in vain in New York, and his mission in
behalf of animals is everywhere apparent in
the manner they are treated, besides human

The will of Juau Petro Terry who
died recently in Paris WAS received
at the surrogate's Office In New York
Monday. BY it's terms four-ffths
of an estate valued at $4,000, 900
are left to child yet unborn. The
will is dated September 16 last.
One fifth of the property is bequeath
ed to the testator's wife. Kate l..
Terry. The clause giving the resi-
due to the expected child is said to
be in strict accordance with the
Spanish law which insists that the
children must get four-fifths of
thir father estate. The testator in
not Obliged to bequeath the other
fifth to the widow. Her rights in
clude only half of the property oc-
curing since the marriage 1t is pro-
vided in this will that if the child
dies the entire estate shall go to the
widow. And also directs that the
will OF the testator's father shall
not be disputed and declares that if
the testator's wife impugps any of
the will she is to have nothing.
The testator inherited his millions
from bis father Thomas Terry of
Cuba and New York whose estate
when he died last spring was valued
at $50,000,000. 1t consisted of vast
sugar plantation about Cienfuegos,
and several million ia cash.-Neao

Type Writing for the Blind.

Every man his own telegrapher may be an
impossibility; but the art is easily learned,
and / venture to suggest that it should be
taught in all the blind asylums. A blind
operator might not be able to send off mes
sages, unless they were read to him, but he
could receive them by ear and transcribe
them on a type writer with rapidity and
certainty that would astonish operators with
eyesight. So few trades or professions are
open to the blind that the directors of asy-
huns should take advantage of chance like
this to enable the afflicted to earn their own
livelihood With their exquisite delicacy of
touch and quickness of perception, the blind
can learn the type writer easily, and have
no doubt that they would be equally expert
telegraphers.-New York Star.

Mortar of extraordinary strencth.

An Englishman writes to the mayor of
Charleston communicating some newly dis
covered facts regarding the making of mortar
for building, which he believes will be of
great Importance in city subject to earth
quakes. He says that the addition of saccha-
rine matter, such as molasses. infusion Of
malt, etc, to the mortar, increases its strength
to an extraordinary degree. The hardness Of
the old Roman cement, which is equal to that
of the stone it binds together is believed to be
due to the addition of saccharine matter
Water to which sugar has been added will
dissolve fourteen and a half times as much
lime as pure water. Recent experiments with
sweetened mortar have proved that walls
may be built so strong that they cannot be
torn down with anything but explosives

a Very Singular Fact.

After the battle of Gettysburg an officer in
command Of an infantry brigade made
wager with staff officer in the cavalry that
more than one-half the muskets captured
would be found to have one or more charges
still in them. This led to the discovery OF
very singular fact. At that battle $4,000
muskets were taken, of which over $1,000
were found to be loaded. Some 1900 con-
tanned two loads, and 1000 had from three to
ten loads each. In many instances half
dozen balls were driven in on a single charge
of powder, while in not few instances the
former possessor had reversed the usual order
and put the ball in first.-Detroit Free Press

1t has been decided that Russian soldiers
in future must observe Lent in the most
rigorous way. They will have to fast not
only during the four great Lents" yearly,
but also Wednesday and Friday, and the six
great days Of prayer and repentance This
is the calculation: The great Lent (of Easter),
70 days; Petroffh Lent, 90 to so; Usspenski
Lent, II; Filippoffski Lent, 80; days of
prayer and repentance, 6; 81 Wednesdays
and 81 Fridays, e. total, 40 to 200 days;
on which dates neither meat nor fish during
the Easter Lent nor eggs, nor milk, nor even
sugar is allowed. The officers assert, with
much force, that the physical strength of the
soldiers must inevitably suffer from the new
regimen.-Chicago Times.

Remarkable sense OF smell.

A resident of VIM Parish, La, is noted
there for his remarkable sense of smell. 1t is
said that on calm day, or when the wind is
blowing toward him, he can smell a deer
from thirty to sixty yards. He is a popular
hunting companion with the neighbors who
know Of his power. While riding or walking
through the woods he will stop, throw up his
head very much as dog when he strikes a
scent, and in this way he rarely fails to To-
cate the deer if it is within gunshot distance
Of him.-New York Sun.

A Bride.

The reported engagement and com
ing marriage Of the well known Mon
tana millionaire, Thomas Cruise, to Miss
Maggie Carter Of Helena is correct, and
the parties will be married before the
close of the present month. The we'd
ding is to be a grand affair and is a.
tracing the attention Of all Helena
society. Mr.. Cruise is a well known
resident of Helena, who has lived in
and about that city for many years. He
was n of the early pioneers of NJ on
tana, and has experienced all of the
varying ups and downs of a ~prospector's
life. About 1867 he discovered and 10.
Gated the famous Drum Lummon mine
He is one Of the wealthiest men Of the
territory to-day, and after his marriage
will pass through st. Paul with his bride
on an extended visit to Europe and his
old home in Ireland. 1t was stated in a
local paper yesterday, in a purported
dispatch from Helena, that the young
lady was a dressmaker. Such is not the
case, as the lady belongs to a weii-to-do
family in Helena, and a friend of their,
who is at present in the city, states that
she has been used to comfort and luxury
all her life, and is not W compelled
to make her wi dresses, as her parents
are in good circumstances. Miss Carter
the bride that is to be, is a very pretty
young .ady.-Pioneer Press.
