Queer Things That are Patented

There is a claim in the patent Office
for patent on the Lords prayer, the
specifications being that the repetition
of the same rapidly and in loud tone
OF voice" will cure stammering.
Among the odd inventions are ''chick
en- HOPELESS" which walk with the
chickens right out of the garden when
she tries to scratch; "the bee moth ex-
cluder," which automatically shuts up
all the beehives when the hens go to
roost; ''the tape-worm fish-hook, u
which speaks for itself; the educational
balloon" a toy ballon with map oil
the world on its surface; ''sidehill an
nihilators" stills to fit on the down-hill
legs of horse when he is ploughing
along a hill side; and the ''hen supriser,"
device that drops the newly laid eggs
through the bottom of the nest, with
intent to beguile and wheedle the hen
into at once laying another.
One of the latest patents is an auto
matte bath tub which starts the hot
and cold water at a given moment in
the morning to which it has been set,
maintains exactly the right tempera-
ture of it by graduating the flow of
water, rings bell, when all is ready,
and two minutes later, suddenly drops
the sleeper's pillow about a foot turns
him out.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

Dogs in Kid Socks.

That ancient proverb, nothing new
under the sun, finds its refutation in
the canine toilet case, without which
no aristocratic dog in high life can be
truly fashionable. Dogs in high life
are given a bath once week and a
shampoo daily. As comb and brush
are deemed necessary to dress the
Skye tresses, some wide-awake person
has just put upon the market set of
bristles and bone for doggie's own
precious self, done up in satin-lined
case, with clasp and seal like the one
on Beauty's toilet stand. The comb is
shown in she'll, celluloid and bone, and
the brush is long and narrow, with a
kennel scene of some sort stamped on
the handle.
Another innovation is pair of kid
socks into which Mr.. Dogs hind feet
are put and securely gartered with
whatever colored ribbon is most be-
coming to its complexion. These little
brown stockings sell at fifty cents, and
are thought to be a restriction when
the pampered brute takes notion to
scratch himself bald. Dog-hampers for
travelling can be had in rush, willow
and cane, vanished TO represent box
wood. In one side is an invisible slide,
which, being open, supplies air, and
saves the maid or mistress the trouble
OF opening the covering. The medium
sizes are provided with pockets in
which grass, oaten cake and an
appetizing bone can be carried. New

tn. secret Of sound Health,

half the secret of life, we are per-
suaded Ia to know when we are grown
old; and it is the half hardly learn
ed. 1t is more hardly learned, more
over, in the matter of exercise than in
the matter of diet. There is no advice
so commonly given to the ailing man of
middle age as the advice to take more
exercise, and there is perhaps none
which leads linn into so many pitfalls.
This is particularly the case with the
brain workers. The man who labors
his brain must spare his body. He can
not burn the candle ut both ends, and
the attempt to do SO will almost inevita-
bly, result in the lighting it the middle
TO boot; the waste of tissue will be SO
great that lie will be tempted to repair
1t 10y the use OF too generous diet.
Most men who use their brains much
soon learn for themselves that the sense
of physical exaltation, the glow of exu-
berant health which comes from body
strung to its full powers by continuous
and severe exercise, is not favorable to
study. The exercise such men need is
the exercise that rests, not that which
tires. They need to wash their brains
with the fresh mir of heaven, to bring
into gentle play the muscles that have
been lying idle while tile head worked.
Nor is it only to this class of laboring
humanity that the advice to take exer-
else needs reservations. The time of
violent delights soon passes, and the
efforts to protect it beyond its natural
SPIN is ms dangerous rs it is ridiculous.

FARM AND HOME.
Salt for stuck

SCI: is not only the SAVIOR OF the earth,
but OF the flesh, and of every known
organism. 1t is constant constituent
of the blood, keeping it limpid and
healthful, and is more universally dis
tributed over the globe and throughout
all OF ganized nature than perhaps any
other compound known to the chemist,
save water. 1t is also one of the most
stable OF the compounds. The waters
OF the earth arc charged with it, and
traces of it float in the air we breathe.
BY inference, then, we may conclude
that salt is IN essential constituent of
all things especially of organized
things. Both observation and experi-
ment show this to be the fact. All an.
imal instincts concur in this conclusion.
Wild animals 60 long distances and
take great risks to get it. In countries
where it is not readily accessible. men
are willing to pay great prices for it.
like that for whisky on tobacco, but a
natural instinct or craving, in response
to demand of the human organism.
Animals deprived of salt do not
thrive as we'll nor wear as sleek coats
as those that have regular and full
supply. II it is placed where they
have access to it at will, no animal
will eat too much. But if fed irregu-
larly, and allowed to 60 with out salt
for long periods, there is greds danger
of animals. eating enough to do them
selves injury. In such cases great
care should be taken in feeding it that
an overdose be not taken. But the
better way is to avoid such danger by
keeping a constant supply within
reach Of the stock. Rock salt in large
humps for the animal to lick is the best
form in which to give it. But it
should be placed where it will be shell
tered from the rain or snow. Sheds
for the shelter OF stock are proper
places in which to provide it.
DO not depend upon throwing them
a handful once q week or so through
the summer. In such a case, If you
give enough for the herd, the stronger
ones will get too much and the weaker
ones too little. The better way is to
provide supply of salt accessible 10
all at all times. This is the safe and
wise plan, saving care and trouble
and securing the best results to stock

The Lovers Quarrel.

The theater that night we attended
Sans chaperone, in coupe.
AS Betty was deeply offended,
We didn't see much of the play.
The trouble began in the carriage:
She vowed she would never give way
That she never would dream of marriage
With such fance
She said, when pressed for the reason,
Twas kiss she saw me bestow
On my cousin-a bud of the season
Whom Betty, by chance didn't know.
1t did look rather suspicious,
At a balm corner-lights low;
Still, at most, it was just iniudicious-
Not criminal, no!
She didn't know all my relations
We've not been engaged quite week
So the cause of her recriminations
Was perfectly natural pique.
l tried with manner persuasive
My absolute pardon to seek;
But her answers, found, was evasive-
And so was her cheek.
Then at last assumed the offensive:
Her trust, proclaimed, was my right;
was wounded, my manner was pensive,
And mourned for my life's early blight
So with signs that my bosom was rending
And tears that INSTRUCTED her sight
Well, I'm not going to tell you the ending
Butt kissed her good night.

There is nothing that attracts more
general lterest in the south at the
present moment than the condition oil
the growing cotton crop. On this crop
| depends in great measure the success
of the business of the coming fall and
winter, hence it is interesting to watch
the progress of the fields as Indicating
the probable character OF the yield and
the forwardness or backwardness OF
the plant in connection with d late or
early harvest.
The start of the crop was not over
promising this spring, as the season
was backward, and cold nights and dry
weather not only delayed planting but
caused the plants to come up slowly
and in many instances forced replant-
ing. The drought of May and June
kept the growth of the plant very back
ward, but the fields were unusually
clean and in position to profit in an
Unusual degree by the rains that fell
toward the close of June:
The June rains gave great impetus
to the crop and helped in a great
measure to bring up to a fair stand the
cotton that had been replantei. in
some sections particularly where the
crop had been we'll advanced the con-
tinued rains caused uneasiness, par
ticularly as they kept the temperature
unusually mild for the season of the
year.
Since the opening of July. however,
nearly all unfavorable conditions have
disappeared and hot weather has given
the needed impetus to the growth OF
the crop so that great progress has
been made and the outlook now prom
ises not only large but au early crop.
1t would of course be ridiculous to
even speculate on the probable size of
the yield, the crop being still subject
to too many contingencies to admit of
any notions as to the ultimate outcome,
still from present appearances there is
every promise of good yield, a fact
which is sufficiently reassuring to bust
ness interests to make the exact num-
Der of bales that will eventually come
to market a matter of little present
interest.
With every indication pointing to
liberal yield of the South's principal
staple, the fall trade, which is now
near at hand, will unquestionably be
opened with considerable activity, and
country purchases will doubtless be
commensurate with the crop promise
that farmers and planters feel to be in
store for them. The same outlook
will enable city merchants to put out
larger lines of credit and to transact
business generally with more conf
dence. New Orleans Picayune.

of shells, covered only with a sack
like skin. The literally fixed wings
are sometimes drawn back into peck

is occasionally provided with append
ages bearing hooks or suckers. To
them belongs the violet-colored pneu-

There are now so mary ways of dress
ing the hair that it Is difficult to say
which is the newest. Many people
cover the hack of the head With small
bows and twists all over. Others dress
the hair still i'll coil. The catogan Is
coming in and will, without doubt, be
tile fashion of the immediate future.
The hair is combed down from Che
crown to the nape of the neck and tied
with ribbon bow, the ends left loose.
A novel style is to cut the hair in q
fringe all round the head and curl it,
then comb and turn MP all the rest to
the top of the head and coil it there;
securing it with several fancy combs.
This style is worn with the Alsatia1i
bonnets. With fair hair the effect is
good. The fringe is cut across the
forehead, reaches to the tip of the ear,
goes behind it and round the poll in a
continuous curl.
