A Suggestion s for Inventors.

The Railroad Gazette, referring TO the
numerous patents on car couplers, and
the difficulty experienced by the railroad
officials in determining tho lines of the
future standard Janney type coupler,
quotes the sayings Of q facetious master
mechanic. He suggests that car coupler
inventors should turn their attention to
an automatic locomotive engineer--one
who would never look ON the cup when Ii
is read, never lose time, never havo leaky
flues or a hot box, and never misread or
ders, have q collision or stick in snow
bank. He says he feels sure such an in
vention would attract the attention Of our
great railroad monopolists and fulhll a
long felt want, especially IL IL could be
warranted to run 200 miles after nickel
had been inserted in the slot. Scientific

The idea Of keeping tho sewers clean
had not thoroughly penetrated the minds
OF the engineers early in the century, and
in none Of the smaller ones was 1t possible
to stand erect. Many were built too near
the surface, and 1t was sometimes neces-
sary TO climb ladder to get into them
In every case they were of solid masonry.
Until quite lately the Paris sewers were
built entirely OF cut stone or partly OF cue
stone and partly Of soft, excessively
porous stone called meuliere. II Is in
tended In future TO build entirely Of meu.
Here. The manner OF using 1t is this; A
great trench is dug, In which a wooden
frame Is placed, the size and shape OF the
desired se~eE.-4he meuliere Is placed
about this frame and n concrete mace OF
the bes cement is applied In such man
ner as 70 I'LL solidly all the cavities OF the
stone and make durable wall impervious
10 moisture. The frame Is removed and
the trench filed up as soon as the concrete
is sufficiently hardened. Paris Cor. San

In controlling tho movements of do
mestic animals by the voice, besides words
of ordinary import, man uses variety OF
peculiar terms, calls and inarticulate
sounds-not to include whistling--which
vary In different localities. In driving
yoked cattle and harncssed horses, team
sters cry ''gct up" ''click, click" tongue
against teeth, "gee," shaw" "whoa,"
"whoosh," ''back," etc, in English
speaking countries; ''arre," "arri,"
''juh," "gio,' etc., in European coun-
tries. In tho United States "gee"
directs the animals away from the driver,
hence to the right; but in England
the samo term has the opposite effect, be-
cause tho driver walks on the right hand
side Of his team. In Virginia, mule driy-
ers gee the animals with tho cry "hcy-
yee-ee-a." In Norfolk, England, "whoosh.
wo;" In France, "hue" and "huhaut;"
in Germany, ''hott' and "hottc," In some
parts OF Russia "haita"--serye the Same
purpose. To direct animals TO the left,
another series Of terms is used. In CALI
ing cattle In the field, the following cries
are used in the localities given: "boss,
boss" ''sake, sake" Connecticnb; "coo,
coo' (virginia); ''sook, sook,n also
''sookey" (Maryland); ''sookown (Als-

The Arctic regions The papers talk
about a blizzard having started from
Manitoba, but that is not its home--its
starting point. Manitoba is only its half
way house.
Why do blzzards come by way Of
Manitoba, and make themselves most
felt upon the west side Of the Mississippi
river? Why do we never hear Of blizzards
in Canada, New England and the middle
states'
Because the Laurentian range Of noun
tains stretches westward from Labrador
along the southern line Of British Amer
lea 5000 miles, skirting the north shore
Of Lake Superior, and tapering out in
northeastern Minnesota, furnishing pro-
tecting wall Of solid rock 4, 900 feet high
against blizzards for all the region south
of it. biologists tell US that this range is
formed OF the Oldest silurian or sedimcn.
tary rock to be found upon the globe, and
that it extends 10000 feet below the
surface.
From northeastern Minnesota to the
Rocky mountains is an open, trecless
plateau-a great doorway 1000 miles
wide--through which the ice king rushes.
From that line southwark Is, In the main,
the same treeless prairie all tho way TO
the Gulf OF Mexico, forming west Of the
Mississippi river the royal toboggan slide,
5000 miles long, upon which his ica
crowned majesty, the blizzard, sweeps ia
all his jeweled robes to swoon In the
arms Of the tropical sun. The Texas

cir Dwsliins. Of Morocco.

II was not until last year that the
Moors would permit any examination Of
the cliR dwellings which have long been
known to exist some days Journey south
west Of the city Of Morocco. This strange
city OF the cave dwellers Ii almost exactly
like somo Of those In New Mexico and
other territories which archeologists have
explored. The dwellings were dug out Of
the solid rock and many Of them arc over
200 feet above tho bottom OF tho valley.
The face Of the cliff is In places perpen-
dicular, and 1t is believed that the troglo-
dytes could have reached their dwellings
only with the aid Of rope ladders. Somc
Of tho dwellings contain three rooms, the

pierced by windows. Nothing is known

Curiosities Of rrIendship.

Curioslties Of friendship would cover
nearly all cases Of noted masculine or
feminine afIinities the world has known.
The law that governs friendship has often
been stated. A general impression Is that
opposites match, mate and cooperate more
readily than similar temperaments.
Goethe could form q friendship most
readily with children. Strong natures
like pliable natures. Highly intellectual
people find necessary rest with those Of
less intellect and more emotion. There
was philosophy in the keeping Of testers
or fools" by those who were, burdened
by affairs Of state. Walter Scott loved
nothing so well as his dogs. George
Eliot's friendships were for men. Blondes
are said TO prefer brunettes, and bru-
nettes blondes. Globe Democrat

Until within Q few years only small
number Of even the wealthicst persons,
especially in America, felt that they could
afford to include peacocks among their
pets. The feathers were costly, and every
woman prided herself upon the possession
Of q few In her bonnet. II she were for
tunate enough to have a fan made OF these
feathers she felt proud indeed. 0radu-
ally, a. the hunters secured larger guam
titles, wealthy people hogan to use chem
for decorative purposes. Elegant screens,
some with the feathers spread thinly ON
cloth surface, and others, which were
more costly, with the feathers closely
scwed together; fans with silver handles,
sofa cushions aud chair seats were made
OF the brilliant plumagc. The feathers
were even used In tho decoration Of walls,
and for fricxes and dadoes.
But suddenly, and apparently without
cause, tho demand ceased. Tho feathers
that had previously been tho Joy OF the
owner, were looked upon with distastc
and pronounced out OF fashion. They
were ruthlessly torn from tho hats they
had adorned, from walls and screens, and
thrown into tho rubbish heaps.
Whence came this sudden and unex.
plained dislikes The reporter was told
that an ancient superstition to the effect
that peacocks and peacocks feathers wero
sure TO bring bad luck to their owner had
been revived and had brought about tho
downfall Of the fashion. He made in
quirics at the stores where peacock feath.
ers were formerly supplied, and found
that the demand for them had ceased en-
tirely. At Tiffany's It was said that they
had not sold fan or screen OF peacock
feathers for several years. Customers
never ask for them. Tho reporter was in.
formed at other houses that feathers that
formerly sold at high prices can now be
obtained for twenty -flvc, nfty and seventy.

ters said that they were used very little.--

While, to make great captain, all the
mental and physical qualities must exist
In the greatest possible strength, varieties
Of these in combination, to q greater or
less degree, have been possessed by gen
erals OF less or greater reputc In the
worlds history, and tho number and In
tensity of these qualifications In the COM
bination give tho general his relative
place In the list OF great soldiers. Some
generals arc only brilliant upon the BATTLE
field, and some even only in particular
phases Of battle, though they may pos
scss certain qualities Of great leader to
an extent which amounts, In its way, to
an exhibition Of genius rs great as any
great captain has ever shown.
The particular quality which made Ma
poleon seize the colors and inoite his troops
to follow him at the bridge OF Arcola is

IONS" His personal appearance is strik
ing. In form tall and well built, OF full
habit, sunny countenance and dignifed
bearing, he is marked figure wherever
he goes. In the conference Of 1884 he
distinguished himself as an able speaker.
DIR. Alpha j. Kynett, corresponding
secretary of the board Of church extension,
is mentioned rs possible candidate for
bishopric. He was born in Adams county,
Pa, Aug. 12, 1920, and while quito young
his parents moved to the west and settled
in Iowa. In 1851 he was admitted into
the Iowa conference. He rapidly rose
from that time and filed many important
appointments. In 1864 he was appointed
corresponding secretary Of the Upper
Iowa Church Extension society, during
which time he succeeded in relieving
many embarrassed churches, and devoted
much Of bis time to improving the style
Of church architecture. DIR. Kynett was
8 member OF tho general con ference OF
1854, and then brought forward his plan
for church extension. Since 1867, when
he succeeded DIR. Monroe to his present
position, he has been the leading authority
on the subject. He was reelected In the
general conferences Of 1868, 1872, 1875,
1880 and 1884. No stronger proof could
be adduced of his able management of the
department under his charge. He is re-
garded as one Of the best business men in
the church.
One Of the most popular men In the
general conference Of 1884 was DIR.
Richard Sutton Rust, secretary OF tho
Freedmen's Aid society. He will be q
member Of the coming conference. In
stature he is q little above the medium
height, of full habit, vigorous frame, and
possessed of countenance beaming with
benevolence. His manners are free and
affable, and his companionablo nature
renders him a universal favorite. His
friends hope to see him elected to an
episcopacy during the May conference.
DIR. Rast was born at Ipswich, Mass, and
at an early age was left an orphan. He
prepared for college at the Phillips acad-
emy, Andover, and graduated from Wes-

Traps for Book Agents.

"You seldom SEQ an advertisement for
book agent in these days" remarked
veteran canvasser, "but that doesn't sig
Nifty that the much abused man is no
longer seen abroad in the land. There is
q certain stigma attached TO the business,
and man is deferred from becoming o
book agent for the same reason that
prompts woman to do anything rather
than 60 out to service. The houses that
deal in subscription books are well aware
Of this feeling, and unscrupulous publish
ers resort to the most ingenious plans to
word their advertisements so as to con-
ceal the real nature of their business.
If they made a direct call for book agents
they would receive very few applicants,
but by COUGHING their advertisements in
ambiguous and alluring language they
are sure to get the pick Of the unemployed
men and women. Their main object Is to
get tho people to call, for 1t is then easy
enough to induce the most likely to try
their luck by holding out flattering prom
ises. The scheme most usually employed
is to advertise for collectors at fixed sal
ary. When man calls and proves satis-
factory he is told that he can have the job
as soon as it is ready, being made to be-
lieve that he is to have . new route as
soon as the canyassers have drummed up
SIN the meantime the man Is advised to
do little canvassing himself. He will be
able to make living wages and familiarize
himself with the business. The man is,
of course, little disappointed, but at last
consents to become q book agent for the
time being in anticipation Of getting q
place as collector at q fixed salary An
iron bound contract Is then drawn up,
for the sake of formaiity, he is told,
by which he agrees to sell the book on
commission. He Is then required to de-
posit $40 as security for the dummy copy
he is TO carry with him. Time passes,
and the route on which he was TO serve as
collector is as far from completed as ever.
He has found that canvassing is hard
work and doesn't pay his board. He gets
discouraged, turns in his dummy copy
and demands the return Of the deposit he
paid on IL. The firm refuses to return the
money, and point to the clause In the
agreement that refers to breach Of con-
tract. The firm has the law on its
side, and the man has no redress. The
cost of manufacturing these dummy
copies Is not one-tenth of the security de-
manded, and many Arms pay their run
ming expenses with the money received as
deposits. New York Evening Sun.

Specimens OF African sheep.

African sheep, as represented by speci-
mems in the Berlin geological gardens,
vary greatly In size and form, some being
large and clumsy, while others are quite
small and graceful, with slender, deer

and white. They are not, like European
species, covered with wool, but have only
stiff, coarse hair, which is short and even,
are highly priced by the blacks.

Recipe for Trapping orl..llss.

Tho proper method Of setting trap in
tho woods for bears IL to place it ut tho
foot of a tree near trail where the bears
are accustomed to pass. Then hang a
piece Of any kind Of meat, excepting that
Of tho bear, against the tree, directly over
the trap, and so high that the bear can
only reach 1t by standing upon his hind
feet He then cannot get the bait with
out stepping into the trap. After the
trap is set the pan and jaws should be
lightly covered with dry leaves, and IL
there is any blood upon the meat it is well
to sprinkle little upon the trap, after
which every object not pertaining to the
locality should be removed and all tracks
obliterated by brushing or covering with
dirt or leaves Outing.
