BOYS AS INVENTORS.
The Valve Motion to the Steam Engine ard
the Power Loom,
EXCHANGE

Some of the most important inven-
tions have been the work OF mere boys.
The invention of the valve motion to the
steam engine was made by boy. Watt
lef5 the engine IL a very incom plete con
dition from the fact that he had no way
to open or close the valves, except by
meas of levers operated by hand. He
SGT up large engine at one OF the mines,
and a boy was hired to work these valve
levers. Although this was not hard work.
yet it required hia constant attention.
As he was working these levers he saw
the parts of the engine moved in the
right direction, and at the exact time he
had to open or close the valves.
He produced a long, strong cord and
made one end fast to tho proper part OF
the engine and the other TO the valve lev
er, Then he he had the perfect salts
faction of seeing the eninge move off
with perfect regularity of motion. A
short time after the foreman came around
and saw the boy playing marbles at the
door. Looking at tho engine he soon saw
the ingenuity of the boy, and also the ad-
vantage of so great an invention. Mr.,
Watt then carried out the boys inventive

The power loom is the invention Of a
farmer boy, who had never seen or heard
of such thing. He cut out one with q
knife, and after he had got il all done he
with great enthusiasm showed 1t 20 his
father, who Mt once kicked it TO pieces,
saying that he would have no boy about
him who would spend his time on such
foolish things. The boy was afterward
apprenticed TO a blacksmith, and he soon
found that his new master was kind and
took lively interest in him. He made
loom of what was left of the one his
father had broken up, which he showed
to his master. The blacksmith saw that
he had no common boy for an appren-
tice, and that the invention was a very
valuable one.
He Immediately had loom constructed
under the supervision OF the boy. II
worked TO their perfect satisfaction, and
so the blacksmith furnished the means 10
manufacture the looms, the boy TO receive
one-half the profits. In about year the
blacksmith wrote to the boys father that
he would visit him and BRING with him a
wealthy gentleman, who was the inventor
of the celebrated power loom. You may
be able to Judge the astouishment of the
old man when his son was presented az
the inventor, who told him the loom waf
the same as the model he (the father had
kicked TO pieces year before.

The Shah's Great Wealth.
gT...s.. ,,sffgar

What he terms his museum is curious
place. 1t contains profusion of costly
articles and objects of art such AZ exist
nowhere else at the present day, IL being
the opinion Of well-informed Europeans,
who have viewed these treasures, that
their money value is perhaps twenty-fold
that of the contents Of the so-called
green vaults at Dresden. IL is impossi-
BILE to give exact figures, for they could
only be obtained after q lorg and minute
inspection and valuation by experts; but
roughly estimated, it is probable that
there is more than a hundred million
dollars worth of jewelry, precious stones,
coined and uncoined gold, costly objects
&c vertu, fine porcelain and glassware, old
weapons aud armor, tableware and Orna-
ments of exquisite Persian and Hindu
workmanship, etc. The so-called pea
cock throne (a part OF the plumber Nadir
Shah carried off from Delhi one hundred
and fifty years ago. is alone valued at
many millions, even after a number OF
the large, rough. and uncut jewels have
been broken out and stolen.

gold and lapis lazui, said to be worth

painted cups, and cans, and vases, which

Cherish Your Girlhood.

Dear girls, don't be SO often wishing
you were grown up women, that you will
neglect your girlhood. In the rush and
hurry of these fast times there is danger
that you will reach and strain after
"young ladyhood" too much. Be girls
awhile yet. Be tender, joyous, loving,
obedient and industrious. Womanhood,
with its privileges and power, its burdens
and trials, will come soon enough.
On this point one has wisely said
await patiently, my children, through
the whole limit of your ei,lhood. Go not
after womanhood; let it come to you.
Keep out of public view. Cultivate re-
finement and modesty. The cares and
responsibilities of life will come soon
enough. When they come ynu will meet
them, | trnst, as true woman should. But
oh! bs not so unwise as TO throw away
your girlhood. Rob not yourself Of this
beautiful season, which, wisely spent, will
brighten all your future life.

The post-ofiioe is an example of the
mode in which things change while names
remain. 1t was originally the Office
which arranged the posts or places at
which, on the great roads, relays OF horses
and men could be obtained for the rapid
forwarding of government dispatches.
There was chief postmaster of England
many years before any system of convey
ance of private letters by the crown
was established. Such letters were CON
veyed either by carriers, who used the
same horses throughout their whole
journey, or by relays of horses maintain
ed by privnte individuals, that is by pri-
yats post.
The scheme of carrying the correspon-
dence of the public by means of crown
messengers originated in connection
with foreign trade. A post-oflice for
letters to foreign parts was established
"for the benefit of the English merch-
ants, in the reign of James /, but the
extension of the system to inland letters
was loft to the succeeding reign. Charles
|. by proclamation issued in 1886, may
be said to have founded the present post
Office. BY this proclamation he com
manded 'his postmaster of England for
foreign parts to SETTLE running post
or two, to run night and day between
Edinburgh and London, to go thither
and come back again in six days, and to
take with them all such letters as shall
bs directed to any post town in or near
that road.o
Neighboring towns gnch as Lincoln
and Hull, we're TO be linked on to this
main route, and fpOsts on similar prin-
ciples we're directed TO be established on
other great high roads, such as those TO
Chester, Holyhead, Erster and Plymouth.
So lar no monopoly was claimed, but two
years afterward second proclamation
forbade the carriage of letters by any
messengers except those of the kings
Postmaster General, and thus the present
system was inaugurated.
The monopoly thus claimed, though
no doub. devised by the king to enhance
thu royal power and TO bring money in
TO the exchequer, was adopted by Crom
well and his parliament, one main adyan
tage in their eyes being that the carriage
of correspondence by the government
would afford ''the best means TO discover
and prevent any dangerous and wicked
design against the commonwealth"
The opportunity of an extensive viola
tion of letter., especially If they proceed
ed from suspected royalists, was no doubt
an attractive bait; aud it is rather anus
ing TO notice how the tables we're thus
turned on the monarchial party by
means of one Of the soyereign's own act;
of aggression. However, from one mo-
tive or another, royaiists and parliamen
tarians agreed in the establishment of a
state post, and the institution has come
down without break from the days
Of Charles / to our own.

POSITION TO PERJURY.
The Once Proud Gen. Reno Becoming
a Subject for Public Pity,
Begging for Work at the Doors OF
Public Officials at Washington.

81 am in need OF money and am not
ashamed to work for it, Thus at one
time spoke Ulysses s. Grant, when he
was an ex-army officer and INDECENT.
The same language was to day used by
Maj. Reno, the man who failed TO march
to the relief of Custer ON the Little Big
Horn in time to prevent the massacre.
Poor Reno, how he has fallen ever since
that campaign. Gradually, step by step,
he has come from his splendid position
in the regular army, until now he is an
employe in the pension office. Senator
Davis, Of Minnesota, has been his friend
in need. For the past two years Reno
has been getting nearer and nearer to
the door which opens upon abject power
ty. The indulgence in alcoholic drinks
has not tended TO lift him to more
elevated plane. His rooms at the Ma
tional hotel in Washington, have long
since been given up. The handsome
turnout has disappeared. The sturdy
figure has been seen lattsrly as pedes
trian and not az a graceful driver of a
fiery steed. Always soldierly in bearing,
with head and face go strong that it
has attracted attention on every hand,

to-day to an excellent veteran general

Reno may also rise is a sincere wish of
all who know him. He ia a soldier of
magnificent natural ability supplement-
ed by West Points rigid training, educa-
tion and discipline. Poor Reno!
