Lord Northampton Is vastly FORUM
ate parsonage. In 1879 his eldest son,
the late Lord Compton, borrowed e10,-
900 from the National Life Assurance
society on the security Of his reversion-
airy interest in an entailed estate, but II
he died before his father (as happene0
of course the security was worthless.
The society proceeded to insure Lord
Compton's life for e34, 900, the under
standing being that it was to pay the
premiums and add them to the amount
of the loan, and the policy was to be
transferred to him IL ever he paid off the
debt. He died three years ago, by which
time his debt to the society had risen to
$4,000. The society therefore congrat-
ulated itself upon having made profit
Of nearly 100000; but, 10 and behold,
Lord Northampton as executor of his
deceased son demanded the balance of
e84 1000, and in spite of the agreement
between the society and Lord Compton
his claim has been sustained by the court
of appeal. The result is highly satisfao-
tory for Lord Northampton. who gets

The First Cornpopper Laughed At.
In the winter Of 1887 Mr. Francis p
Knowlton, of Hopkinton, N. H., .pur-
chased of Mr.. Amos Kelley a sheet Of
wire netting from his mandatory on
the main road, and constructed the FIRST
cornpopper ever made. The various
parts We're cut the required shape and
then sewed together with wire Mr..
Knowlton then made some for Judge
Harvey and Judge Chase, which they
sent to various parts of the United States
as curiosities. Thinking that he could
see a field of usefulness for the newly
conceived article, Mr.. Knowlton made
several and took them to Concord to a
hardware store, hoping to.introduce be-
fore the public useful utensil and to
receive reasonable. remuneration.
His production was scorned and ridi-
culed by the proprietors, and they re-
fused to have anything to do with 1t.
Unwilling to be thwarted in what looked
to him to be a reasonable and sensible
project, he proposed leaving them to be
sold on commission, and was told that he
could leave one or two If he would pay
storage ON them. From necessity he
took them back to Hopkinton. The first
one he made was laid away for curios-
ity. 1t has since been given to the An
tiquarian society, and now finds home
in that valuable collection. Soon after
Mr.. Knowlton's defeat Mr.. Amos Kelley
began pressing them into the required
shape, and by slow degrees they found
favor before the public. Today no New
England homestead is without one. No
patent has ever been applied for SO far
as is known.-Concord IN. H. People

who seems 20 realize that the crib Il unsafe.

the structure at cost OF from $4,000 TO
$4,000. Mr.. Cheney says that The con-
tractor and not tho city ought 10 do this.
Already the crib has had 90 be shored up ON

Between the shaft aud tha crib proper there
are many maans OF communication and the
