The Supervisors.

Yesterdays session of this body was an
uneventful one. Chairman Tebbets was in
an unusually placid mood; Mr.. Ross got
away with three more cigars than usual;
Mr.. Greer wore his strongest glasses as he
scrutinized the package of bills before him;
Mr.. Bates devoured all the news in
the papers, and Mr.. Black seemed to
be little restless at not having an OPP
portunity to make his usual number of
speeches.
There is some talk, owing to the dizziness
of the session, of citing Road Overseer Silas
Chance to appear and give an account of all
the excellent work he has done in his dis
trict the past season, and the newspaper
reporters are experiencing some encourage

REWARDS OF INGENUITY.
What Small Inventors Have Done
in Making Fortunes.

The rubber tip at the end Of lead pen-
ellis has yielded 100000 in England.
A large fortune has been reaped BY q,
miner who invented metal rived or
eyelet at each end of the mouth OF c0at
or trousers pockets to resist the strain
caused by the carriage Of pieces OF ore
or heavy tools.
In recent legal action it TRANSFERRED
in evidence that the inventor OF the
metal plates used to protect soles and
heels from wear sold upward OF IL, O00,-
900 plates in 1879, and in 1887 the
number reached 143, 900, 900, producing
realized profits of 81, $50, 600.
AS large sum as was ever obtained
for any invention was enjoyed by the
inventor of the inverted glass bell to
hang over gas to protect ceilings from
being blackened, and scarcely less
lucrative patent was that for simply
putting emery powder on cloth.
Frequently time and circumstances
are wanted before an invention is appre-
ciated; but it will be seen that patience
roller skate made over ST, 600, 600, not
withstand!ng the fact that his patent
had nearly expired before its value was
ascertained
The GIN, et-pointed screw has pro-
duced more wealth than most silver
pines, and the American who first
thought of putting copper tips to chill
dren's shoes is as we'll off as if his father
had left him 50, 100000 in United States
bonds.
Upward of $4,000 year was made
by the inventor OF the common needle
threader. To the foregoing might be
added thousands of trihing but useful
articles from which handsome incomes
are derived or for which large SONS have
been paid.
Few inventions pay better than popu-
lar painted toys. A clergyman realized
81, 900 week by the invention Of
strange little plaything to be seen for
long time in every toy-shop window and
even in the streets of London.
That favorite American toy, a " return
ball pa wooden ball with an elastic
attached yielded the patentee an in
come equal to $4,000 year, and an
income of no less than S75, 900 per an
mum to the inventor of the dancing
Jem Crow" The invention of "Phar-
aoh's serpents, a toy much in vogue
some years ago, was the outcome Of
some chemical experiments, and brought
the inventor more than $4,000.
The sale Of the little wooden figure,
"John Gilpin," was incredibly large
many years, and very ingenious toy,
known as the "wheel of life, " is said to
have produced upward Of $500, 600 I
profits to its inventor.
One of the most successful Of modern
toys has been the chameleon top, the
sale of which has been enormous. The
field of invention is not only vast and
varied, but it is open to everybody
without respect or favor Of any kind to
sex or age, station or means. The
merest trifie may be the key to o for
tune, if it be an article that the public
actually wants in great numbers.

In the hospitals, penitentiaries, and barr

that no vermin will lodge in them, The

The Growth Of Trees.

In the Parish Of Winfarthing are two
magnificent oak trees, one Of which II
known as the "Winfarthing Oak" tho
other is little inferior to It in magni-
tude, but appears to have been gener-
ally passed over in favor Of the moro
celebrated tree first mentioned. Thes9
trees were inspected by Robert Marsham,

OF Gilbert White, and great agricul-'
turist, In the year TIA; and he has left
in his diary accurate measurements Of
both.
The larger tree measured at that time
80 feet 7 inches In circumference, and
the smaller just 80 feet. In the year
1874, when these trees were measured
according to Marsham's method, the
larger tree was Just 40 feet in circumfez~
ence, and the smaller 30 feet; it will
thus be seen that one tree Ind increased

IN de kerrige which is already here
Dey will not be crowded in dat yer
seat ! know"
"The very thing" answers Hazard,
who has already introduced himself to
| poor Loo, who, homesick and tired, sits
curled up in the waiting-room, and
whose unspoken opinion of things is
plainly written upon her face.
| Hazard states the case to her
| just now she is too much crushed in
spirit to do anything but acquiesce in
silence. Moreover she stands in great
awe of the gallant Captain, whose ex-
ploits have reached her ears long years
ago. So she agrees, without ado, to
riding in the Stubblefeld carriage, and
she gathers up her little bags and
bundles and announces herself in readi-
ness to go.
Miss Lafarge, pale and interesting,
with her bandaged arm carried in a
sllken sling, stares little as Captain
Hazard introduces himself to her
notice, and prefers his request. But she
too consents readily enough, and the
two ladies take their places in the
vehicle.
Miss Lafarge has ample time, before
the carriage stops at Bywater Park, to
make herself interesting and entertain
ing to her companion.
ODE drives slowly to enable the Cap
tain to keep pace with the carriage.
And Miss Lafarge improves this oppor-
tunity to the utmost, by relating her
late experience in the railway accident.
Loo, anxious and uneasy, chances
into the fair face of her companion,
who bears up under this gaze with adj
mlrable composure.
The Captain too, turns pair of adj
miring eyes upon Miss Lafarge, as she
relates her story with grace and spirit,
and Loo grows glum and more distract
still as she sees this. She knows with
out being told that the Captain is COM
pairing her sallow skin and dark eyes
unfavorably with the exquisite blonde
at her side, and pang shoots through
her heart that it should be so.
Miss Lafarge takes the Captains
g'ances and his compliments quite as q
matter OF course. She too perceives
the little ranking thorn in Loo's breast,
and the knowledge fills her heart with
Joy. To her the time passes all too
quickly, and the carriage stops at the
lark gates sooner than she thought
would be the case when the two ladies
set out together.
Arrived at the Park, the Captain as
sists Miss Loo to alight. He gathers
her bags and bundles in one hand, begs
to be allowed the privilege of calling
at Stubble6eld the ensuing day, lifts his
hat, and, with sweeping bow to Miss
Lafarge, watches the carriage as it rolls
away.
Then he tucks Loo's trembling hand,
in matter-of-fact fashion, under his
arm, and marches her up the walk to
the house.

Among the curiosities of nature there
are none better worthy of study than
the nests of birds. The skill displayed
by these little architects is simply won
darfrll, end one is lost in wonder at the
knowledge, patience and perseverance
OF these feathered builders. Especially
is this the case of pensile birds. that
suspend their habitations on branches.
sometimes even hanging them over the
water.
The weaver bird, which embraces
several varieties, is one Of the mos in
genious OF the pensile birds. 1t gener-
ally hangs Its nest on o twig over the
water, and SO low down that if monkey
attempts to steal the eggs, which It Il
apt to do, the twig bends with it,
weight, and cold bath is the conse-
quence. The Mahili weaver BIRD Of
South Africa is a very small bird, with
an ambition to live in a very LARGE
house, and industry enough to build Il
for itself. The shape Of the nest Il
similar to an oil flask, but Of course
greatly magnified in dimensions. and
very rough on the outside.
The sociable weaver birds unite their
efforts and make q kind Of thatcbed
roof, under which, or rather in which
they build their nests. Sometimes this
structure is ten feet square. Each nest
is shut out from every other, although
all are under the same roof, and while
the whole community join in BUILDING
the roof, each pair builds its own nest.
