astonished when Mr. Kokuk asked the

essence of JOY.

Banner. Gets all the county printing

go on tramp she bustIos into the Ban

Kokul on the contiguous territory

Searching for Valuable Roles.

A clever young woman is building up
business of somewhat novel charac-
ter in New York and Brooklyn. Travel
ing agents have long made a good thing
out of antique furniture picked up on
excursions in the wilds OF rural New
Hampshire and Connecticut, inducing
farmers wives to ransack their attlcs
and bring out mirrors that only wanted
regilding, or brass-handled chests of
drawers in want of nothing but polish
and varnish to fetch round sums from
modern worshippers of bric-a-brac gone
by. The best hunting grounds for such
things, curiously enough have been
overlooked almost entirely. New York
and Brooklyn, as things go In this
country are ancient cities. There are
low-browcd Dutch homesteads within
the limits of the former city, and old
houses on Second avenue in thu Wash
ington square re zion and on Fifth ave-
nue. itself in New York, which
only need to yield up their treasures to
delight all tho lovers of last century
carved oak, mirror-front wardrobes, rare
spindlc-legged monstrosities and choico
bits of bull This young woman has
begun a series Of tours among tho stately
old mansions sunk TO second class
boarding houses, or gone yet further on
the road Of neglect and decay aud when
she flds relic of past grandeur, she
rehabilitates it and introduces it to an
art lover or a curio lover or a person
ambitious of the reputo OF an art or
curio lover-with money. An old
ebony cabinet inlaid with mother of
pearl, an old dressing table with tray
OF Sevros lot into the top, an old chait
covered with French lowered satius CIR
the carly years Of the century, these aro
grand dukes in banishm mt to be re-
stored to their lost estate. 1t is pleasant
business for young woman with some
knowledge, good eye and better judg-
ment, and she makes it profitable. -

A Boys Singular Rirthright.

AS was ascending the bridge steps
to take the train for New York the
other afternoon / notice just ahead Of
me woman leading little boy by the
hand. The boy who appeared to be
about four years old, was trying to hold
back and crying bitterly. 81 don't want
to go on the bridge" he yelled, while
he tuggel away to get back to the
street. 1t was with great difficulty that
the woman got hi on the train. When
she sat down he climbed into her lap
and throwing his arms around her neck
moaned and cried most pitcously. II
don't want to go on the bri ge," he
kept repeating all the way over /
asked the mother why the boy was
afraid to go on the bridge and she re-
piled that there was only one way to
account for it. "Thc boy" she said,
'was born a few months after the great
accident on the bridge just after the

The Invention of the Typewriter.

The idea that some day people would
write letters without a pen seems to
have attracted attention moro than a
century and half ago. In ia the
first patent was taken out in England
for a machine for printing one letter at
a time on paper. A certain Henry Mill
had the courage to attack this most diff
fcult problem of making practical
writing machine, but the brave man
died with his machine. 1t was failure
and for 100 years nothing of importance
was done in thi, promising field In
1867, two Inventors, printers by trade,
G. Latham Sholes and Samuel w. Soule
were at work in Milwaukee on a ma
chine for numbering the pages Of blank
books. Mr.. Charles Gliddcn, also an
would be better to use it for printing
letters instead Of numbers. A mere
casual remark, and yet it marked the
birth Of great inyentioc. Nothing
was done about it for some time, when
there was report in the Scientific
American of a machine that would print
one letter at time on paper. This
machine was invented by a Mr.. John
Pratt of Alabama, then residing in Eng
land, and, while it does not appear to
have come to anything, the description
Of it spurEed the Milwaukee inventors to
efforts jna wholly new direction. The
idea was a good one. Capital believed
in it, lent its AID, and ia time the new
machine, with all its crudities, came to
the great shops at lion on the Mohawk.
Here it took on many important i'm
provements, and became a really practi-
cal machine, that could be manufac-
turcd on a commercial scale, and that
could be used by any one with the ut
most ease Lippincotts Magazine.

When you find true friend, keep

many as you go through life.
One flower made to bloom in a field

The more kindness shown to those
who have wronged US, the more do we
prove our true greatness.
Money not in use is of no more bene-

hang on trees till they rot.
When cautioned against becoming
a miser do not, therefore, consider
yourself advised to become a prodigal
or a spondthrilt.
Misfortune is never mournful to the
soul that accepts it, for such do always
see that every cloud is an angels face.
Revenge is debt, in the paying of
which the greatest knave is honest and
