By far the most valuable business cal
endar for 1891, and entirely unique in
design, is the Columbia Cycle Calendar
and Stand, issued by the Pope Mfg Co.,
of Boston, Mass. The Calendar is in
the form of a pad containing 366 leaves,
each 5bX24 inches, one for each day of
the year, to be torn of daily, and one
for the entire year. At the lower end of
each leaf is a blank for memoranda, and
as the leaves are only fastened at the
UPPER end any leaf can be exposed. No
stub is left when the leaves are torn off.
The pad rests upon stand, containing
pen rack and pencil holder, and when
placed upon the desk the entire surface
of the date leaf is brought directly and
kept constantly before the eye, making
it impossible to overlook date or mem
oranda. The stand is made of stained
wood, mounted with raised letters in
brass, thus forming an ornamental paper
weight.

The dynamo which generates the cur
rent does so by the revolution of a coil
of wire near the poles of magnet, the
force which revolves the coil being de-
rived from the engine. The current
then passes over the wires, down the
trolley which surmounts each car, to a
small motor. This motor has an arma-
ture consisting of coils Of wire traversed
by an electrical current, which is at
tracted in succession to the poles of the
stationary coils called the field magnets,
through which the current also flows
flies around and transmits it's motion,
by means of cog wheels, to the axle of
the car. The driver of the car, by the
use of a lever, turns the current into
the motor beneath the car or diyerts it
to the rails at will. In the conduit sys-
tom the current passes along the wire,
with which connection is made, into
the motor on the car and then put out
through tho wheels to the rails and
then back to the central dynamo.

! What Foreign Powers Are Doing In tn,
war-ship building Line.
The shipbuilding programme OF the
French navy has attracted unusual at
tontion among American officers OF late
because of the calling together recently
OF the cabinet council to sanction the
suppression of the courc II of admiralty
and to replace it with superior marine
council. The Minister of Marine, how
ever, has approved OF the designs for
two OF the three proposed battle ships
the Lazare-Carnot and the Charles-Mar-
leland their construction will be be-
gun early next year. The plans of the
third vessel, the Jauregulberry, are al
most ready, and it is expected, will be
accepted at once. The two ships first
mentioned are to be nearly alike. They
arc each to be $50 feet in length, 6S feet
breath of beam, and have a displace-
ment of about 1900 tons. They are to
have triple expansion engines of about
12 900 horse power, intended to give n
speed Of II knots an hour with natural
draught. Their armament will consist
Of two AZ tons, four SO tons and eight IS
inch breech loading guns.
Thenew French ironclads and cruisers
are not only being increased in size but
many improvements are being added;
and the designers seem to be following
the example OF the English admiralty.
But, if tho criticisms of tho English
naval officers are true, tho English
naval contractors have not been careful
about making the ships habitable, and
they have also neglected. to provide
light, ventilation and room 20 get
about the machinery, all Of which are
indispensable. The armament of some
of the French vessels has, however,
been severely criticised. 1t has been
pointed out that there is a general habit
of over-gunning, which makes them
dangerous at sea.
The Russian cruiser Pamiat Azov, in
which the czarewitch and the Grand
Duke George are to be taken on n cruise
to India, China and Japan, seems to
have excited the intense admiration of
the admiralty and the construction and
engineer officers of the British navy
while she was lying in Plymouth sound
but unfortunately for the English serv-
ice, they were not permitted an official
inspection of her. She is said to have
every conceivable improvement, and is
fitted in the most admirabl order Her
system of internal communications by
telephones and telegraphs is described
as perfect, and so also are her arrange
mints for hosting boats 1t is rare in
deed to find all the novelties in complete
working order and thoroughly efficient

THE NORTH POLE.
Two French Enthusiasts Expect to Reach
1t by Means of a Bnlloon.

twO EreDCn tntnuslaSts Expect TO heACD
1t by Means of a Balloon.
Two members of the Paris College OF
Aerial Navigation-M Besancon, aero
naut, and NJ. Hermite, astronomer-prc-
pose seriously to reach the North Pole
by means of balloon, and have ex-
planned to their colleagues the means
by which they hope to succeed in their
object. The balloon in which they are
to travel will be made of two thick
nesses of Chinese silk, covered with an
impenetrable varnish, will hold about
As, 900 cubic feet of pure hydrogen gas,
and carry weight of over 5000 pounds.
They will also ta-.s with them four
small pilot balloons, which will be sent
up from the North Pole-should they
ever reach that muchlonged-for spot
to test the air currents prevailing there,
and four huge bags of hydrogen gas, to
replenish the large balloon, should
waste occur. The car in which the
aeronauts will have to live is to be
coated with thin steel, and will contain,
in addition to it's human occupants and
their scientific instruments, eight dogs
and sleigh, small unsinkable canoe,
the balloon may be kept at regu-
lar distance from the earth, it will be
furnished with a heavy rope and an
anchor, to drag along the surface either
of ice or water. The intention is to
equip two vessels at French port and
sail to Spitzborgen. There the hydro
gen gas will be manufactured and the
great balloon and it's satellites inflated,
the aeronauts starting on their voyage
of discovery with the first favorable
wind. They expect to be about ten days
in the air, and to lie able to take photo
graphs and scientific observations.
Where they will descend they have no
idea; bnt if all goes well they hope to
reach some civilized point either in
North America or Western Asia. The
duration of the expedition from France
and back is estimated at six months,
and the cost is put down at nearly
e23,o00, the larger part of which goes
for the hire and equipraent of the two
vessels at Spitzbergen. This will be
mainly betrayed by the aeronauts them
selves, assisted by subsidies they hope
to receive from both English and French
scientific societies. The start will not
be made until May, 1892, the interval
being devoted to experiments to ascer-
tain how long it is possible to remain in
balloon without descending. The
project is attracting much attention in
scientific circles in Paris.-St James

OLD FOLKS FESTIVAL.
One Mormon Custom That should BE
Universally Adopted.


Universally Adopted.
1t appears that tho Mormons are fairly
entitled to the credit of at least ono
beautiful custom, practice so praise
worthy that il has been adopted through
out Utah, by the Gentiles as we'll by
the Saints. While churches and social
orders throughout other sections Of
the country have inaugurated day
specially devoted to the children, and
have studied to surround it with the
associations of music and flowers and
pleasing exercises, the people of Utah
have turned their thought to the claims
of the aged upon their consideration.
Their annual old folks festival was.
held recently, and the reports indicats
that it was observed with more than
the usual thoughtfulness and care. The
old people on these occasions are made
the special guests of the younger gen..
GRAFTON. Every one over seventy is in
some way or other specially remem-
bered. For those who are able to go,
excursions and en- tertainments are
planned, and the feeble are remem-
bered in some pleasant way at their
homes. Such a custom may we'll spread
children should have their day, but
it is also fitting that the aged should
not be forgotten. At the best their Joys
are not so abundant that any means of
giving them pleasure should be thought
lessly overlooked. Among the ancients,
the aged were held in high esteem and
treated with marked consideration. In
our own time, we are somewhat too apt
to, satisfy our conscience by repeating
didactic precepts which we do nou wholly
feel. We tender to the aged a somewhat
100 formal courtesy, and we are content.
and are too apt to think they ought to
be, If they have warmth and food, and a
place in the chimney 1ornor. In the
hurry and bustle of active life they are
too often made to feel that they no
longer have part in the activities and
enjoyments Of life. Perhaps in many
cases IL is partly their own fault. Per-
daps they have not remained so young
as they might in their sympathies with
with the active present. Perhaps they
have grown somewhat ceRsorious. some-
what distrustful, and somewhat given
TO complaining. But il may be, too that
they would not 80 readily have made
these mistakes If they had not been
made TO feel that they were getting 10
bo in the way, il they had been thought
lessly overlooked again and again in
plans, pursuits and pleasures of thoss
who nre hurrying on after them. An
old folks da would b. good, not only
for them, but for the younger genera
tion. Its influence would spread out
over many another day OF the too swift
ly passing years, and the effect upon the
| young would he felt IN a more general
habit of tAougnttulness. II is beauti-
/ frl custom, that the Mormons have sug-
| gested, and it should spread out a. far
as tho influence Of Children's day has
gone.--Mapehestor N. HI luton.

fortunes, voted the remains OF small
fortune TO his education of the
only child; but expenses and bad
management soon exhausted his meager
bank account, and ruin was close
ly followed by the death of the
old Colonel. Grace was thus left en-
tirely alone in the world, dependent
upon her own labor for her sustenance,
and with talents, as yet, crude and un-
developed.
Hardships and privations soon left
their mark, and one clear, frosty Christ
mas night found the girl wan with suf-
fering, in humble lodgings, and almost
without the necessities of life Her SEN
sitive nature had been stung by the many
rebuffs and insults to which she had
been subjected in her search for employ
ment and she had financially become
reduced to the hardest and most poorly
paid of all female labor, plain sewing.
1t was hard trial for poor Grace who
had no love for sewing, and dumb tale
of misery was told by the thin, tired
fingers. A cruel stab by the hated
needle caused her to throw herself face
downward across the hard bed and give
way to uncomfortable emotion.
She had been working steadily all
day upon dainty linen skirt for belle
on Fifth avenue, and it was with the
proceeds of her labor that she hoped to
buy her evening meal. Grace was ro-
mantle girl and dreamer; and as she
stitched she said to herself that per-
haps, as it was Christmas, and they were
all accordingly happy, they would for
give her for coming on such day for
the money for her work; and she pic
tured this avenue beauty as sort of
good fairy who would drop a little
something extra in her palm just by
way of doing good deed on good day.
In her haste to finish the tedious task,
in an unguarded moment the envious
needle, as though jealous of her am
bilious thoughts, buried itsolf deep in
her delicate finger, and the blood spurt-
ing from the ugly wound defaced the
snowy whiteness of the skirt she was
finishing.
What was she TO do? The stain was
slight--to wash it would only tend to
increase the blemish-she could not
hope that the work would be accepted
without being examined So, with fear
and trembling in her heart, she tied up
her parcel and made her way to the
magnificent residenc already ablaze
in preparation for the evenings festivi-
ties.
''Show the person in" said clear,
cold voice, and the mistress OF the
house, surrounded by bevy of lovely
girls, was so lost in her admiration Of
the gorgeous presents spread out before
them that the absurdity OF asking u
shabbily-attired sewing girl into the
spacious apartment did not for the mo-
ment occur TO har. Grace, however, was
utterly forgotten, and, crouching in the
corner like n stray cat, afraid TO move
.or speak, her presence was indeed un-
known.
''Oh. yes" exclaimed the belle, with
a light laugh, this is from Walter
Fletcher" at the same time extending
for inspection glove-box OF magnih-
cent workmanship with her monogram
incrusted on tho lid in diamonds so
bright that they made Grace shade her
eyes lest their light should pierce them.
