perimenting, have invented little In
the formidable array Of implements,
machines and prims-motors which
have shown to humanity how to utilize

The fact is striking. but its explanation
Is very simple: those men-the Watts
and the Stephensons-knew something
which the sdrdnts do not know-they
knew the use Of their hands; their sur
roundings stimulated their inventive
powers; they knew machines, their
leading principles and their work: they
had breathed the atmosphere Of the
workshop and the building-yard. We
know how the scientists will meet tho
reproach. They will say: I'VE dis
cover tire laws of nature, let others ap-
ply them; it is simple division OF la
Dor" But such rejoinder would be
utterly untrus. The march of progress
is quite the reverse, because in a hun

the scientific law. It was not the dy.

der the eyes of thousands of scientists,
and when they had done so for half

trains, stopped by powerful brakes,
were disengaging heat and spreading
thousands of sparks on the rails at their
approach to the stations; when all over
the civilized world heavy hammers and
perforators were rendering burning hot
the masses of iron they were hammer
ing and perforating-then, and then
only, doctor. Mayer, ventured to bring
out the mechanical theory of heat with
all its consequences; and yet the
scientists almost drove him to

to their mysterious caloric fluid.
When every engine was illustrating the
impossibility of utilizing all the heat

A EAefish WoAsa Whe Welded HsAen
and Brush With Her Mouth.
Il WAS touching to sec in the hospitals
during the civil war, men w1b hsd lost
their right arms beginning ITO learn TO
write with their left as soon as the sur
geon allowed them to sit up There
was q corporal in Chaplain Roe's depart
ment near Fortress Monroe, who wrote
home pretty long letter with his left
hand, relating the loss Of his right arm,
three weeks before. Hundreds of men
who suffered similar loss learned to
write with their left hand we'll enough
to earn good salaries as clerks and book
keepers.
Much more wonderful things have
been done to make good the loss of i'm
portant portions of the body. There
vas the little lady at Barnum's who had
no arms at all, but sewed. used the scis-
sors, drew and and wrote with her toes.
A gay and polite little woman she was,
in spite of her deficiencies
We have seen men cut out with their
toes very good likenesses in black paper.
and there was an artist in England who.
being paralyzed from his neck to his
feet, learned to draw and paint holding
the brush and pencil in his mouth. No
man ever drew more daintily with his
hand than did he lying on his back un-
able to move hand or foot.
Sarah Biffin, too. who died some years
ago in Liverpool, though born without
arms or legs, had the spirit and talent
to become an excellent miniature paint
or. She was just one yard and one inch
high. With her mouth she welded PEN
oil and brush, held the scissors and
sewed with a common needle. Besides
painting numberless miniatures in the
ordinary course of her profession. she
painted likenesses of the reigning fam
lily, and was honored with medal by
the Society of Artists.
After practicing her art for period
pf forty years, she died at the age Of
sixty-six.
An instance not less remarkable was
that of Arthur Kavanagh, an Irish
member of Parliament of great note,
whose death was reported just before
Christmas. He was endowed with an
exceedingly fine head, body Of unusual
SCrcHRIH dHu symmetry, ds we'll as d

SCIENCE AND INVENTION.

Theory and Practice efuaIIy Develop is
Different Ways.
} In olden times, men Of science, and
especially those who have done most TO
forward the growth Of natural philos-
ophy, did not despise manual labor and
handicraft. Calico made his telescopes
in his boyhood the art Of managing tools;
he exercised his young mind in contriv-
ing most ingenious machines and when
he began his researches in optics he was
able himself to grind the lenses for his
instruments and himself to make the
well known telescope which, for the
time, WAS fne piece Of workmanship
Leibnitx was fond Of invsnting ma
chines-wind-mills and carriages to b
moved without horses preocoupied his
mind IS much As mathematical end
philosophical speculationa Linneus be-
came botanist while helping his father
"a practical gardensr-in his daily
work. In short with our great geniuses
handicraft WAS no obstacle 20 abstract
researches-it rather favored them. On
the other hand, II the workers OF old
found but few opportunities for master
ing science, many Of them had, ut least,
their intelligence stimulated by the very
variety Of work which Was performed in
the then unspecialized workshops; and
some of them had the benefit Of familiar
intercourse with men of science. Watt
and Rennie were friends with Prof
Robson; Brindley, the road-makeR,
despite his fourteen pence . day
wages, enjoyed intercourse with
educated society, and thus de-
veloped his remarkable engineering
faculties. While industry, especially
by the end of the last century and dur
ing the first part of the present has
been inventing on such scale as to
revolutionize the very face of the earth,
science has been losing its inventive
powers. Scientists invent no more, or
very little. Is it not striking, indeed,
that the steam-engins. even in its lead

steamboat, the telephone, the phono-

things, have not been invented by pro-
fessional scientists, although none OF
them would have refused TO associate
his name with any of the named inven-

Cougar Fights.

have often wondered what him
dered the cougars from being very
plentiful. They are monarchs OF the
woods, and are very sly. with plenty
of game and cattle to live on. This
spring l was talking with an old
cruiser "a man who hunts for timber
and good land claims), who had fol-
lowed the business for the last twenty
years in Oregon. He never takes
gun. but carries only a blanket ana
small axe. He related that one
night when he was camping In the
head Of a ravine about dark he heard
a cougar scream on one OF the ridges,
and this one was answered by anoth-
on the opposite rilge. They kept
working toward the head, until hnal-
ly they came together some 300 yards
above him in some quaking aspen,
and such a row and racket as they
made he had never heard before.
They rolled down within 100 yards
of him, and he says he was pretty
well scared, but he kept up a big fre
and stayed behind that. They quieted
down in a couple of hours, and the
next morning, when it was light
enough, he went out to the battle
ground. He found one of them lying
there dead, all cut and torn to pieces.
1t was very large one.
Four days afterwards, as he was
coming back the same way, some 500
yards from where he had found the
first one, he stumbled upon the other
one, dead. This, too, was all cut and
torn as the first had been. AT anoth-
er time he heard big fight going on,
but did not go to see the results. He
was stopping one night with an old
Indian, who had hunted and trapped
all his life, and was telling him about
the fight, when the Indian said that
was the way when two old males met;
one or the other was killed, and very
often both; and that whenever the
male would find the young ones and
the mother absent he would kill the
last one of them, but il the mother
were with them she would keep him
of. That must be the reason that
the mother goes with the young until
they are nearly two years old. They
say that all the cat kind will kill their
young. We know that this is so with
the domestic cat.-Forea and Stream.

Hints tor Housekeepers.

For the shrinkage OF unbleached
cotton allow an inch to h yard.
Insect stings, or eruptions on the
skin are relieved by alcohol.
Powdered alum applied to a fever
sore will prevent it from becoming
very unsightly or noticeable.
Agreeable rainy day occupation for
the older children is to be found in
the making of scrap book Of the
portraits Of distinguished people, and
other pictures, the material to be OBJ
tanned from publishers catalogues,
magazines and other available
sources.
1t is said that joint OF meat may
be kept many days by wrapping it
loosely in fine cloth wrung out Of
vinegar and hanging it in drauSht

the cloth should be moistened twice
or even thrice day.
A tidy housekeeper and correspon-
dent of the Rural World has the notion
that typhoid fever may Turk In the

makes an earnest and timely protest
against letting dish rags lay around
until they are black and rotten.
They should be burned long before
they reach that state.
or course everybody knows how to
boil an egg. But there are two WAYS.
The common way is to drop the egg
into boiling water. The white hard
ems and toughens instantly and the
egg is not fit to eat and hard to digest

cold water and the vessel covered will
be beautifully cooked the instant the
water boils. The white will be as del
icate as jelly, digestible and nutritious.
