N hat IL n Horse Power:

the equivalent. which is more familiar
to some mechanics. OF raising $50
pounds 100 fec; per minute. since 49,
600 pounds raised II foot per minute
i called one-iorsc power. il is natural
that people should think the engineers
who established that unit Of measure
mcnt based it on what horses coulL
really do. I,ut the horse that ran do
this work does not exist. The lor>c-
power urii was established hy James
Wait about Il century a"D. and the
figures were fixed in Il curious way.
Wait found that the average horse of
his district could rais" 1000 pounds
one foot per minute. This. then. was

y Bourbon is generally defined as

arc a great variety of Bourbons,-pO-

riculiural.-but the latest manifesto
ton of that character. which we have
had an opportunity to observe is GER
tainly an exaggeration of the old BOur-
bon. Every day, after 3 o'clock, we
see parties. old, m~iddlc-aged and
young, ascend the steps of the Sturdi-
want Bank. rattle the door and some
times, pretty hard and continuously,
when at the saIne time there is a large
