AND INVENTIONS

BRICKS boiled in coal tar are rendered
hard and durable, and machine-m ade
brick, if boiled for long period, say
twenty-four hours, becomes waterproof.
Bricks thus treated are well adapted for
sewers, cesspools and tho foundations of
buildings.
HoUsEKEEPERs will appreciate re-
cent invention for Smelling peas. In
this machine green peas in the pod may
be introduced in quantities, and the
peas arc cleaned and expeditiously sep
arated from the pods, irrespective of
size. Tho machine is provided with a
means for discharging the pods and the
she1led peas separately into convenient
receptacles.
A NEW invention is that of collapsi-
Bile railway car in which the principle of
air cushions is applied to prevent dan
gerous accidents in case Of collisions.
The car will be in two compartments,
one larger than the other and empty, so
that when a collision occurs the smaller
section will DO forced into the larger,
the air in which will act as cushion
and relieve tho occupied section of the
sudden shock.
E. A. GARLAND, a Wisconsin man, has
invented peculiar clock. 1t consists
of three eggshells set on pivots, ono to
denote the hour, one the minutes and
the other the seconds. The shells re-
volve on the pivots without apparent
mechanism to give them motion. Mr..
Garland intends making ono with glass
balls and hanging an incandescent lamp
in each ball, so the clock can be made to
serve as lamp as well as time-piece.
IT looks as though the cork-screw
would have to go. Some genius has in
vented champagne wire cutter which
is slightly as we'll as useful and resem-
bles pair of curled pliers with sharp
inner edge. To open champagne or
soda bottle the cutter is applied to the
wire, and after being separated the
plier is turned to the right and left, thus
loosening the cork, which can then be
raised out Of the bottle by the cutter.

day And Mr.. Ingraham, who was the
humblest of all slaves to his beautiful
young wife, assented to her plans.

| Zephyr, ref1ectively. well, l did not
like to go until could pay my dear old
uncle the dollar that | owe him-tho
dollar upon which the hinges of my des-
tiny turned"
Farmer Croft was sitting alone on the
veranda, when the carriage drove up to
| the door. The old house was implanted,
the fences had tumbled down, the shut
tiers hung loose, and the pin was lost
out of the gate. The old man himself
was shabbily clothed, and the locks,
once so raven black, were now whittier
than the sea foam. He listened in
tently to the sound of wheels and foot
steps.
"If it's Squire Leferts," said he, sit

And in 4 second her arms were about
the old mans neck, her sunny tresses
mingling with his snow white hair
Mrs. Croft had hobbled out by this
time, leaning on a cane, and staring in
amazement
That evening, when Zephyr and her
husband were gone, old Daniel cried
triumphantly to his wife:
Bring up a bottle of the old cider,
mother, and let's drink to better times.
Miranda Jane, the darter that we sacri-
feed every thing to, has gone back OF
US, and so has the man she married; Blu,
Zephyr has come between US and the
poor-house-little, quiet Zephyr, that
you never had no patience with; and the
dollar gave her has been paid back
with golden interest, eh. mother?"
And Mrs. Croft answered meekly:
Il dunno but what you're right, Dan.

Deafness Can't BE Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There S
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the ml-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by Catarrhl that
we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh

Catarrh Can BE Cured.

Catarrh can never be cured by ointments
and other local applications, but there is
one remedy that can permanently remove
the cause. 1t has cured cases where the
discharge was so copious and offensive that
it felt as if the whole head was a mass of
corruption. Other cases indicated by an
irresistible desire to hawk and spit the
phlegm collecting in tough mass behind
the soft palate. In other cases where the
matter dried up in such large Jumps as to
fairly close up the nostrilS and prevent ma
sal respiration. In other cases where the
breath was so Extensively revolving and fetid
that the person became disgusting object
in society. Other cases wherein complaint
was made of a distress full feeling above and
between the eyes, and where the sense of
smell was entirely lost. Other cases where
the drOppings fell into the throat and the
voice became husky, and caused a trouble
some cough. Oh! you want to know the

Zephyr turned scarlet but she held
the silver dollar tight in her hand,
without Offering to return it to the
donor. Mr.. Croft shrank before his
wife's words, as IL they had been a
keen northeast gale.
Gently, mother; gently said he.
But Mrs. Crotts wrath was not so easily

words was over, and honest Daniel
looked around for his niece, Zephyr was
gone.
Gone for good and Gil. When days
and weeks passed by, and she did not
return, Daniel Croft slowly anchored
his faith to the theory (whioG was tho
true one) that the money hal been
spent to take Zephyr away from the
farm. She had not been happy there,
and she had left the place.

exultation, which was fully seconded by

On, glorious king Nthe King To-Day
Though he often brings us sorrow;
But the king who brings us only delight,
Whose mornings and evenings arc always brigh'
And who keeps Heavens beauty always in sight
Is the beautiful King Tomorrow.
In his bright reign all debts are paid;
The ghosts Of all crimes and blunders laid;
The penniless one can borrow;
No shadows darken his shining track,
No burdens rest on the toil-worn back
No clouds hang over us grim and black,
In the glorious reign OF Tomorrow.
We never have seen his beautiful face,
We never have felt his limitless grace;
But we quickly forget all sorrow
When his splendid visions of freedom from care
And JOY and happiness everywhere,
And all things pure and bright and fair,
We see in the hlest Tomorrow.

Talking of patent medicine

Talking of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some Of
them are between you and US.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
everything - and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
stuff" you lose faith in every
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds

ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does

"Humph!' said tho woman. Il do

Zephyr" he called, softly, down the
garden path, "Zephyr!'
There was no answer. The sun
shine was sleeping the grass in gold.
On the sheltered slope south of the
wall, one might tread on blue carpet
of violets. Farmer Croft shaded his
eyes with one hand.
''She's down by the river bank" said
he. Strange how she likes to set there
and stare at the water goin' by"
Yes, Zephyr Lowell was very discon-
tented, very ungrateful, of course.
Ought not any girl to rejoice and be
exceedingly glad of the privilege of
hard bed in Mrs Croft's attic bedroom,
and seat at the table, where cold
pork was served deal oftencr than hot
sausages? AS for sympathetic glances,
words of gentle consolation, those I'M
obtrusive, unstudied deeds of affection
that are often sweeter than any
syllabled sentences-what right had
she to expect such? Even if Mrs.
Croft had known what such things
meant which she didn't, she was not
very likely to waste them on her hus-
bands penniless niece.
"Of all things" said Mrs. Croft, "de-

There are local diseases of various char

their simplicity, but the evidence of their
curative power is beyond dispute. Kidney
