Perils of Courtship.

Several late cases, presenting rather
novel features, should admonish suitors
or Airters.. that the way of the transgressor
in courtship is becoming more perilous
one unless lie walks the straight and mar
row path.
A preacher is now on trial before his
churchconference in Tennessee for court
ing two ladies at the same time, and q
report unfavorable to his continuance in
the ministry has been made. A decision
uufavorable to him will be predecent
compelling men intent on matrimony to-
concentrate their affections on one object
of attention and love.
An innovation equally startling is pre-
sented by a case on trial in Canadian
court last !week. Mrs. Libbie Brennan
brought suit for $4,000 damages against
her father.in.law, on the ground of de.
ception in inducing her TO marry his
son. She charged that he represented
that the young man had an income Of
So 900 a year, and that he was sober and
moral-representations which she found
to be untrue. She therefore separated
from her husband and sued his father for
damages. The jury were unable to agree
and mistrial was the result. But if this
claim for damages should finally be sus.
tanned and stand as precedent, it might
have far-reaching application, and per-
haps few cases would be found in which
the bridegroom would be entitled to dam
ages.-Atlanta Eveaing Journal.

How Deep Does the Earth Quake?

California and the Pacific coast recent
ly experienced one of the mcst severe
earthquake shocks known in that region
in years, an incident which revires inter.
eat in the question: How deeply does
the earth quake when convulsive nature
shakes her crust like circus tent in a
cyclone? at Virginia City, Ney., the
earthquake Of 1879 was not noticed by
the miners in the great Constock mines,
but only by people on the surface. The

ing in the town, was merely noticed by
some Of the miners working in the upper
levels, but it did them no damage, not
even shaking down loose rocks and
earth. The station men in the various
shafts felt it the strongest, and the deep.
est point where it was noticed was by the
station tender at the 900.foot level of the
Imperial Empire shaft, 900 foot level of
surface. He said that it felt like faint
throb or pulsaLion Of air, as though a
blast had been fred above, below, or in
some indefinite direction. In some of
the mines the shock was not feltat all,
even by station men in the shafts.
Commenting on this curious fact at the
time, the Gold Hill Ne,os remarked that
the earthquake seemed to BE- an electri.

atmosphere and not from the depths of
the earth,

4 Valuable Domestic Invention.

Mrs. W. a. Cochran, of Shelbyville,
Iud, has placed her name on the roll
with the great inventors of the world, the
result of. her genius being practical
dish washing. machine. She began ex-
perimentipg ten years ago. Her husband,
the late ". A. Cochran, was then Circuit
Clerk of Shelby County, leaving her
financially unable to complete her un.
dertaking. By the aid of friends, how.
ever, she finally succeeded and has q
machine designed to do the work now
done by the thousands of girls and women
the land over. The machine is wonder.
full and intricate. It is made in different
sizes for families and hotel purposes. 1t
is also made for both hand and steam
power and it is capable of washing,
scaldiug, rinsing and drying from Eve to
twenty dozen dishes of all shapes and
sizes in two minutes, the number, of course
depending on the size of the machine.
Mrs. Cochran has recently disposed OF
her machine to an Illinois manufacturing
firm for large Gum of money and will
receive a good royalty on all machines
sold.-Kanaas City Star.

Agricultural Humidity.

The facility with which frogs, fish and
gnats hatch thei. eggs in warm water
suggests the writing up of this subject of
agricultural humidity. calling attention
| to the humid climate of the Southern
Atlantic, the Gulf and Gulf Stream, the
Mississippi River and Valley, forming the
best sea island cotton and grass growing
region known on the globe. The right
use of water enables all seeds to germi.
nate and grow. There is no water on the
moon, and from necessity neither plant
nor animal the ocean swarms with or.
ganic life.
The farmer deals with this sort of vi.
tality, and human eggs hatch in water
very much like those of frogs and fishes.
Our progenitors may have come from the
sea. Female whales give milk not less
than human mothers. How comes this
bond of union between mankind and ami.
mails in the great ocean? 1t may be said
that an animal in the sea who nurses her
young on milk is not q fish, which is q
quibble. The point is the existence of
milk aecretiDg animals living in the
ocean. Did special creation form the
noble horse, and then create more noble
gaday to breed thousands aud millions of
msggots to destroy the horse by making
holes through his stomach? The idea of
special creation disappears before the
light of hostile parasites. Water levels
ell life, plant and animal.
There is water enough on this planet
to cover it more than mile in depth.
Scientific farmers will soon cause this
moving waters to accomplish great and
useful work, aided by solar lights and
heat, especially in our warm climates.
Moving water in clouds, yapors, rivers,
lakes, rains and seas fertilizes land at
snail expense. A turf of grass prevents
soil washing and depletion.
For centuries the Government of Lom.
bardy has derived revenue by selling
river water for irrigation. The same
practice has long prevailed in Egypt.
Irrigation is on the increase in all parts
of the civilized world, water being the
cheapest and most reliable fertilizer
known. 1t adds largely to the value of
all agricultural salts. Manure dissolved
in water is easily distributed over field
in, pipes and cutters, using pumps and
horse or OK power. Wheels made to lift
water for. farming purposes may be turned
by COWS or steers at small expense. On
the farm on which the writer vas raised,
sheep, running with COWS, have turned
wheels for churning for more than fifty
years. 4 pig, by walking on treadmill,
may raise cora and clover enough to feed
and fatten ten pigs. In Holland wind
engines drain q great deal Of land.-

of that day were shaped like new moon

tapered out to point at each end, but
| the more style the bigger the hustle.
| They were all homemade and we're
considered very sacred and mysterious
article of feminine furniture. Sometimes
one of these big ones would rip from long
wear and tsre, and the bran would leak
out as the woman wiggled along and you
could track her all the way homej just like
the hogs would track mill boy when
there was a hole in his corn sack. I
remember when the hoop-skirt Of high
flying woman was three feet across at the
bottom and when she stood up close
against the counter, her dress dident
need any shortening behind. 1t was a
sight of trouble to squeeze them in the
pews of the churches, and sometimes they
behaved in a very unseemly manner
when the wind was blowing in shifty

wore boots according to their politics
The toes were shaped like ducks bill
and were turned up and over on to the
top of the foot like skate, and if the
boy was whig he had Clay printed on
the toes in large letters, and if he was q
democrat he had Polk printed there, and
so they walked about sticking their
politics into everybody's faces.
But after all, 1 believe the women of
this generation are more reasonable in

The Drummer's Latest Trick.

The drummer always brings the latest
trick. Here it is:
Take spool of white basting cotton.
Drop it into your inside coat pocket and,
threading needle with it, pass it up
through the shoulder of your coat.
Leave the end an inch or so long on the
outside of your coat and take off the
needle. -Four men out Of five willtry to
pick that whole thread off your shoulder
and will pull on the spool until itactu.
ally does seem as though your clothes
are all hastings and that they were
unravelliog not ouly your clothes, but
yourself.
IT was in to see Wilson Barrett in
'Claudian' in Boston last week." said the
travelling man. at was the most inter.
esting and pathetic portion of the play.
Everybody was rapt. l was sitting bolt
upright, and didn't know or care to
know soul around me-, when suddenly
I felt some one tugging at that basting
cotton that I myself had clear forgotten.
I didn't soy word and did not move.
Foot by foot it unrolled. Half glancing
around, I saw mana totalstranger-
yanking at that thread. His face was
scarlet. He had pulled out abou: ten
yards and was now hauling it hand over
hand. BE diden't dare to stop because
he had decorated my back and the whole
aisle with basting cotton. He hardly
dared to go ahead, for he diden't know
what portion of my domestic interior
economy he was triaiug with. Hand
over hand he yanked it. The aisle
was full oft. For heavens sake! will
it never end p said he above his breath.
sat perfectly still and ran the spool
while he pulled. How wanted to yell.
Inever saw anything in my life half SO
funny. The whole section of the house
got onto it. They didn't know whether
to laugh at me or him, and some looked
on amazed at the spectacle. At last the
stranger behind me gave one frantic rip
and yanked out about eleven yards on
one bunch, aud as the cotton got twisted
around his watch chain, over his eye.
glasses, in his very hair and filled his lap,
I turned around, and, producing the
spool from my pocket said: i am very
much obliged for your interest and very
sorry thatI missed you. You see I have
about one hundred and twenty four yards
left, but presume that you don't care
for any more to night am honestly
sorry, but I can't help smiling
THE man was a modest sort of a gen.
tlemen in appearance. His face was as
red as fire even to his ears. He Looked
at me and then at the spool. He chang
ed color once OF twice, and then as the
crowd caught on big laugh went up
right in one of the painful passages of
'Claudian,' and the gentlemen who had
intended to pull that thread off joined
in the laugh and said: I will square
that up on my wife when get home
but my friend, I swear TO heaven that
did think at one time that was going
TO undress you where you sat.
1t catches every time, and my own
wife has been fooled twice on it-Lewis

A Few Small Matters.

Many men miss great fortunes because
their minds arealwsys full of big schemes.
The man with his head above the
clouds is generally a failure. A man
must know how to utilize the common
things oflife ifhe would prosper in ma
terial way.
This is strikingly illustrated in the
lives of inventors. When an inventor
goes in for a big thing, like perpetual
motion, for instance, he goes to the poor.
house, but when he puts rubber tip on
!he end of lead pencil he makes a cool
100000. The man who knows how to
handle the little opportunities of life
never fails to make his knowledge pay.
The ii ventor of metal plates for soles
and heels made about s6,000,000. Ifhe
had scorned such small matters ard
turned his attention to steel armor for
vessels he would probably have wasted
his time and LABOR. Ihe roller SKATE
netted its inventor S1,000,00O. The
inventors of various little toys, puzzles,
and other tribes enjoy incomes ranging
as high as $4,000 year.
Against all these successful men are
arrayed host of bright but unsuccessful
inventors who spend their lives trying to
accomplish something great.
It is so in every line Of human endea-
vor. When a man wants the earth he
gets nothing. When he expects to rake
in a fortune in big scoops he dies in
poverty. The successful men of the
world fix their attension upon the com.
monest things-the every day matters
and opportunities around them.--Atlanto
