duly furnished with hexagonal nuts,
which could only be loosened by aid OF
a tiny wrench made for that purpose
The weight of the whole model with
out the three-penny base, was less than
the weight of the coin itself.
Six years later, time of our Centcn-
nial exhibition, Penn would have felt
ashamed of his "three-penny piece"
engine had he had it on exhibition in
Philadelphia. During the progress of
that great exposition, Levi Taylor of
Indianola, Ia, placed on exhibition,
'side by side'' with the great Corliss
engine, an engine perfect in all It's
parts, built on twenty-five cent gold
piece, and with some of its parts SO
small as to only be seen by aid Of a
powerful microscope. The entire en-
gine weighed but three grains. In other
words it would have taken 146 such
| engines to balance an ounce avoirdu-
pois. Three of the Penn engines would
have weighed more than 146 like that
made by Taylor
The engine made by D. A. Buck. of
Waterbury, Conn. is usually given in
lists of small things as the smallest en-
| gine in the world, but this is mistake;
the one mentioned last above, so far,
takes the palm for smallness.
The writer cheerfully admits that the
Buck engine is more perfect in its de-
tails than the Iowa wonder, but the
fact that its base plate is gold dollar
forever kills its claim to being the
smallest, as the Iowa engine, as men
toned above, uses a twenty-fve-cent
gold piece for the purpose. Buck S
engine has 148 distinct pieces OF ma
chinery, held together by five screws,
Three drops of water fills the boiler to
overfowing. The diameter of its CYL
inder is one-twenty- y-eighth of an inch.
The length of stroke three -thirty-sec-
Onds of an inch. Its entire weight, four
and a half grains.
In the year 1882 mechanic by the
name of Goldie, living at jamestown,
N. Y, constructed miniature locomo-
tive, perfect in all its parts, which
weighed but one pound and half. A
circular track ten feet in diameter was
also built by the inventor, whose time
must have hung heavily on his hands.
and hour after hour he amused himself
in watching this pocket edition of the
most useful piece of mechanism spin
round and round in it's endless fight.
Golden claims to have worked upon
his model during all his spare time for
over eight years. AS it stood finished
ready for the track, it was comprised
of 266 pieces, held together by fifty
screws. One ounce of water filed the
boiler, and the pumps threw one drop
each stroke. Item.

A Mirror of Your Mind.

Starting with the word Washington,
write down one hundred words just as
they occur to you. Let your second
word be the one which Washington
naturally suggests to you. Possibly it
will be capitol. 1t may be President.
Take the word which first comes into
your mind. In the same manner let
the third word be suggested by the
second, the fourth by the third, and so
on. Be careful that the third word is
not suggested by both the first and
second. Drop the first entirely and
let your mind go from the second alone
to the third. Having written this list
of words you will have furnished your
self with a cheap but very useful mirror
of your mind. If you are able to use
this mirror you may discover some
very serious defects in your mental
processes. You may discover that you
think along certain lines too frequently.
You may discover that you are using
superficial principles quite too much,
to the neglect of more important laws
of mind. You will thus be led to avoid
certain linkings, and to encourage
others of more philosophical nature.

Inventions Of Our Age.


nose of us not yet fifty years of age
have probably lived in the most import
ant and progressive period of human
history. Within this half century the
following inventions and discoveries
have been among the number: Ocean
steamships, street railways, elevated
railways, telegraph lines, ocean cables,
telephones, phonograph, photography,
and a score of new methods Of picture
making, aniline colors, kerosene oil,
electric lights, steam fire engines,
chemical fire extinguishers, anesthet-
les and painless surgery, gun cotton,
nitro-glycerine, dynamite, giant pow
der, aluminium, magnesium and other
new metals, electro-plating, spectrum
analysis and spectroscope, audiphone,
pneumatic tubes, electric moter, cleo
trio railway, electric bells, typewriter,
cheap postal system, steam heating,
steam and hydraulic elevators, vesti-
bule cars, cantalever bridges. These are
only a part. All positive knowledge
of the physical constitution of planeta-
ry and stellar worlds has been attained
within this period. .-Homiletic Review.

AS soon as I'm away
Those hens, by the big rooster led,
March in and spend the day.

My wife the baby leaves alone
To shoe those hens away,
But as she can not throw a stone,
They laugh at her and stay.
Around my house is little seen
But dusty holes and dirt;
They eat the grass before it's green
And all my flowers hurt.

And keeps it looking fine,
For he has trained his pirate crew
To fly right into mine.

OLD GENERAL HARNEY.
jefferson Davis Recollection of the Well
Known Soldier.

JEFFERSON Davis Recollection of the Well
Known Soldier.
Jefferson Davis wrote ten years ago
his recollections of old General Harvey,
who has just died and whom he knew
in 1929. "He was then,'' said Davis,
physically the finest man l ever saw.
Tall, straight, muscular, broad-chested
and gaunt-waisted, he was one of the
class which Trelawney describes as
natures noblemen, against whom the
plague in the East never made an
attack. Had he lived in the time of
Homer he would have robbed Achilles
of his sobriquet of swift-footed, for he
would run faster than white man,
farther than an Indian, and in both
showed that man was organized to be
master of the beast. To elucidate the
last clause of the preceding paragraph
requires the recital of an anecdote.
Captain Harvey carefully attended to
his company's garden, which on the
frontier was necessary for the comfort
as well as the health of the men. The
beds had been carefully spaded and
roped, when one of the numerous dogs,
a half-grown mongrel hound, came
walking across the carefully prepared
ground, and the Captain, storming at
him in tones and language not suited
to the pulpit, frightened the dog so
that instead Of going out by the walk
he ran across the bed toward a gap in
the fence. The Captain started in full
run after the dog, which had to jump
on the fence and then off it-fatal dis
parity to the dog!-for the Captain
cleared the fence at a bound, which
brought him jump nearer to the dog,
and then he began an even run up the
long slope which led to the fort, before
reaching which Harvey mastered the
dog and Rover suffered in proportion
to the length of the chase. Captain
Harney was also bold horseman and
fond of the chase, good boatman and
skillful in the use of q spear as
fisherman. Neither drinking nor gam
ing, he was clear of those rocks and
shoals of life in frontier garrison,
and is no doubt indebted to this alb
stinence for much of the vigor he has
possessed to his present advanced age. u

He cometh MOI. She Said.

She is waiting in the darkness, she
Is waiting by the door, and she hears
the sad sea moaning as it beats the
sandy shore; and she hears the night
bird crying, and the wailing OF the
trees, and upon her fevered forehead
gently blows the Southern breeze; but
in vain she stands and listens for the
coming of the one who to her is prince
and hero, who is brighter than the sun.
Close the door, o, weeping lady, close
the door and weep alone, to the sigh
ing of the branches to the oceans sul-
len moan; to the screaming OF the night
bird, to the sobbing Of the rain, as
1t falls like tears from Heaven,
pushing on the window pane. Let
your eyes this night be rivers and your
hair morning veil, let your soul float
out to Heaven in a wild, despairing
wall; for the footsteps of your hero do
not echo on the shore, and tonight
you'll never see him though you re
waiting by the door; and you will not
hear the music of the voice you love so
well, you will only hear the moaning
of the oceans restless swell. Close the
door, o weeping lady, look no more
for him you love, better look for hope
and comfort to the somber sky above;
TO your side your love and hero all
your watching can not win, for he tried
to paint the city and the peelers ran
him in.-Nebraska State journal.

There is no reason why screens should come down in the common saloons while the curtained windows and closed doors hide the often disgraceful scenes that transpire in our ''gentlemens" clubs. There is no reason why Connecticut legislature should make fish of one class of citizens while it makes fowl of another in a word, there is no reason why the present 'whimsicar' legislature should continue to exhibit the creden- tials of its inconsistency and injustice by continuing in line of legislation that is the worst form of what is known as class legislation.
