How $4,000 Pounds was made Horse
Power.

When men begin first to become
familiar with the methods of measur-
ing mechanical power, they often
speculate on where the breed of
horses is to be found which can keep
at work raising $4,000 pounds one
foot per minute, or the equivalent,
which is familiar to men accustomed
to pile driving by horse power, Of
raising $50 pounds 100 feet per minute.
Since $4,000 pounds raised one foot
per minute is called one horse power,
it is natural for people to think that
the engineers who established that
unit of measurement based it on the
actual work performed by horses.
But that was not the case. The
horse power unit was established by
James Watt about a century ago,
and the figures were settled in a
curious way. Watt, in his usual
careful manner, proceeded to find
out the average work which the
horses of his district could perform,
and he found that the raising of o.
600 pounds one foot per minute was
about an actual horse power. At
this time he was employed in the
manufacture Of engines, and had
almost monopoly OF the engine
building trade. Customers were so
hard to find that all kinds of artificial
announcements were considered
necessary to induce power users to
buy steam engines. AS method
of encouraging business, Watt
offered to sell engines reckoning 49,
600 foot pounds to horse power, or
e.half more than the actual. And
thus, says the Manufacturers
Gazette, what was intended as Il
temporary eXpedient to promote
business has been the means of
giving a false unit of a very inn
pOrtant measurement to the world.

Study Children's Character.

We must understand the people
we teach. A man may have a good
shotgun and plenty of spowder and
shot, and go out all day, but never
get a duck, because he doesn't know
anything about ducks. A Dakota
Indian will have an old rusty gun,
with but little ammunition, will
creep along in the grass by the wa
ter's edge, and in one shot will kill
a dozen ducks; ss.because he has
studied the ducks habits. You
must know your children, find out
what is in their hearts, and then you
can reach and help them.

Born to be Happy"

so said Socrates: so have reiterated many
other philosophers in regard to humanity.
As health is the vital principle of bliss, it is
not only an imperative duty, but welcome
privilege for every man and woman to main.
tain it in the highest degree. One of the
most insidous and dangerous omissions in
this connection is to neglect tendency to
constipation. The clogging up of the sys-
TEN with eifete matter predisposes to dis.
ease, depresses the spirits, and creates
gloom and dependency. The occasional
use OF DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will
prevent constipated habit, clear the brain,
sweeten the temper, land we might add, the
breath ALSO and open a vista of happy &C.
tivity possible only to the well regulated
mind and body.

The Farmers Alliance.
Manufacturers Record.

Manufacturers Record.
No organization spontaneously or
ganized to protest against dominant
evils or wrongs since the opening Of
the century has had before it a field
so teeming with possibilities as the
Alliance has. The organization
sprung into existence at a time not
alone critical, but transitional in the
history of the South. So far it has
continued to fulfil its mission. 1t has
brought about radical changes in ac-
ton, methods and ideas. Will it con-
tinue TO increase in usefulness and
good works?
The last straw broke the camel's
back, yet this straw was only one
Of a multitude of straws. The bag
ging question brought the Alliance
into great prominence, yet this ques-
ton was only one of a host Of other
vital questions that were before the
Southern people.
AS we understand it, the Alliance
of today has something more in view
than the mere settling of whether
or not the farmers of the South shall
pay whatever price is asked for jute
bagging and ask no questions. This
question is not lost sight of, but others
equally important are put on a par
whit.
When the writer was in Alabama
recently he fell into conversation
with farmer who was on his way to
Admission. In telling of his expert
ences in farming, this farmer well
illustrated what the Alliance has
done and can still continue to do for
the South. In former years he had
often raised ten or twelve bales Of
cotton to the mule on his land. This
year he only raises seven. But he
makes more money now than he did
then, for then cotton was his sole
crop. This year he raises corn
enough for his family and help, and
has some to sell. He also raises
nearly all his own pork. His cotton,
therefore, represents large incre-
ment of profit, and he will lay by
some money.
The one great purpose of an Or
ganization like the Alliance is to
teach its members to think. This
thinking makes them have more re-
gard for their own welfare and inter-
ests. The Alabama farmer had
thought out the economy of raising
his own corn and pork. And the
Alliance, we believe, will lead others
of its members, as it had led this one,
to independence of thought and ac-
ton. In 50 doing it will settle the
bagging question; it will kill the one
crop method; it will bring better,
happier and more cOntented homes
to its members; it will drive out the
wolk-like money changers, and in
short, will clear the highway to pros
perity of obstacles which have been
holding the Southern farmer in debt
to the West, the North and to the
outside world.
One stumbling block threatens the
Alliance-that of dabbing into poll
tics; but with its clean record up to
date, the earnestness and sound COM
mon sense of its members, and the
great amount of good work yet to be
done for the upbuilding and uplifting
of the South, the MANUFACTURER
RECORD believes that this will be
avoided, and that the Alliance will
go on increasing in strength, earnest~
ness and good works.

Pioneer Justice in MICHIGAN.

A story that Judge Reilly occa-
sionally repeats when the subject of
Michigan justice is up for discus
sion runs substantially as follows !:
When Gratiot county, Mich, first
began to be disturbed by pioneers,
and after it had it's first Justice of
the Peace, a farmer named Dawson
walked three miles to secure a war
rant for the arrest Of his neighbor
named Meacham, for assault and
battery. To save the constable a
six-mile trip the defendant walked
with the plaintiff. They encountered
his honor just leaving his house
with his gun on his shoulder, and
Dawson haulted him with;
Squire, want a warrant for this
man for striking me-"
"1'm in an awful hurry" said the
squire. "Come tomorrow"
"so'm I in a hurry, and I'm go
Ing to have raising tomorrow"
"Meacham, did you hit him?"
asked the justice.
"Yes."
Dawson, did you strike first?"
"No."
"Meacham, had you rather work
tor Dawson three days than go to
jail?"
II guess So" answered Meacham.
And will that satisfy you, Davi-
sonp
"Yes."
Then make tracks for home, and
don't bother me another minute.
My son has just come in with the
news that an old bear and three cubs
are up the same beech, down at the
edge of the slashing, and I'm going
to have some bear meat if it upsets
the supreme bench of Michigan.
Court stands adjourned at present. /"

puaRINs MATCHES.
A Birmingham Pilgrims 1ar-room
Experience.


"Did you ever have a purring
match?" was the inquiry addressed
by an immigrant from Birmingham,
England, to a jolly quartette seated
around table in Billy McKeighan' q
saloon last evening. His listeners,
being all born on American soil,
replied in the negative.
"a purring MATCH" said the Bir-
mingham, "is nothing more than a
kicking contest" In fighting with
the fists combatants are not allowed
to strike below the belt, and in pur-
ring matches they are not allowed
to kick above it.
In purring matches the combat
ants grab each other by the should
ers and elbows, the same as in col
lar and elbow wrestling, but instead
of trying to trip each endeavor to
disable his adversary by kicking
him on the legs, the shin part being
the most sought after by combat
ants heels. Wooden shoes are
worn, the edges three-fourth of an
inch in thickness. The edges of the
iron are sharpened to the keenness
of a razor, and extraordinary skill
is exhibited in parrying kicks with
with such formidable shoes.
Il saw a purring match several
years ago in Birmingham between
two men who were disputing about
a game of cards and decided to set
tie it that way. Both men sat on
the opposite side of table and the
kicking began. They kicked away
for half an hour with the vicious
ness of mules with their tails tied
together when one of the duelists
howled you've kicked me-
"Why, I've been kicking you for
the last twenty minutes" replied
the other, "and l thought you liked
it," replied his antagonist.
"You only kicked me once, but
that was enough" said the defeated
man. Gail other kicks struck that"
and he hoisted wooden leg on top
of the table.
"I'll see your timber as I saw
your purr," replied the conqueror
laying larger and stronger wooden
limb over that of his opponent "and
I'll go you one BETTER" and the
speaker placed third wooden leg
on the table.-Virginia Chronicle.
