IL was agreed that the three Roman brothers.
horatii. ana the three AIban brothers, Curl
atii, should decide the quarrel by combat
IA sight Of the two armies. Two Of the Ho-
ratii were soon slain and tho three Curl
attn wounded. The last one Of the Horatii
pretended 10 ny and the three Curiatii fol-
lowed as each was able When Horatius
saw that they were pursuing apart from each
other be turned upon them and slew them
one by one Horatius marched back 10
Rome at the head Of the army, and when his
sister, who was the betrothed Of one of the
Curiatii, saw the lstters cloak upon her
brothers shoulder she wept at his death.
Horatius, in anger, drew his sword and
stabbed her 10 the heart, saying: $50 perish
the Roman maiden who shall weep for her
country's enemy!n For this he was con-
demned 70 death, but was afterward par
doned on account of the service he had rem
dered 10 Rome

instantaneous Interest Indicator,

A machine by which the interest on
any sum from $1,000" to 81, from ten
years to one day, at any rate per cent,
may be determined in thirty seconds, by
simply turning knot, has been patented.
An interest sheet is wound around the
rollers inside the machine, which are ro-
tated by the knobs at the side to stop at
the given amount desired, and given rate
per cent, as printed on the interest sheet,
this portion then appearing In the open
space on the left band margin Of the ma
chine. Then the snoalt metal tablets ON
the face and across the center are thrown
up with the point of the pencil, for the
time the interest Is to be computed.
This being done, the required interest is
In plain view. By the use of this ma
chine all of the mental and three-fourths
of the physical labor is dispensed With.
1t is quicker than books or charts. 1t is

The Penny Slot Machine.

There have been good many vari-
ations on the drop nickel in the slot
business since it began. l am told that
the drop a penny in the slot machine is
quite as profitable as, if not even more so.
than the more expensive device. Each
trial of it yields to the owner only a fifth
of what nickel machine does, but many
people who would not thiOw nickel dc
not hesitate to experiment with cent OF
two, and often men will empty their
pockets of coppers at the machine. An
electrical battery is one of the latest of
these machines. You drop your cent,
take hold of the two handles and pull
them out of the stand till you get as
strong a shock as you want. You regu.
late the current yourself, and if you can
stand a dollars worth of it, suppose,
get it for your single copper Every now
and then meet one or another of the
collectors employed by the owners OF
these machines, with canvas sacks full OF
hard cash gathered from them. The
money drops through the slot into the
sack, believe, and the collector, when
he makes his rounds, exchanges an empty
sack at each machine for the full one
which he carries off with him.-Alfred
Trumble in New York News.

There is surprising recklessness regard

of Brown, county, Dakota, gives this
timely warning in a local paper: l
notice a lamentable want of care of the
government corners among the farmers
and landowners of the country. Where
stakes existed they are rotted off, often
pulled out and used for firewood; the
mounds are erased by cattle or travel,
the pits are filled up and obliterated, and
soon, if not already, no certain evidence
