The Field for the Inventor.

In the realm of machinery and manu-
facture the inventor is yet but entering
upon his infancy. Many MILLIONS of dol
lars have been reaped and are to be ac-
cumulated by the inventor in machinery
who understands the complicated needs
Of humanity. The central idea in this
work is to reduce labor, expense and
time to the lowest point, and so to econo-
mize in the use of material that there
will be no absolute waste. To enter
upon this field of invention one cannot
trust to accident and happy luck, but he
must first thoroughly acquaint himself
with the laws of dynamics and mechan-
les, so that he can appreciate an i'm
provement when it is suggested to his
mind.-George E. Walsh in New York
Epoch.

Easy Enough.

was rehearsing company; of variety
people who had waxed ambitious and
planned to go forth into the fowery
fields of polite farce. Among them was
knockabout team, one of whom was
cast to play gilded youth who figures
prominently in the piece: His ideas con-
cerning the proper performance of the
role were supremely weird, and one after
noon Julian overheard the following con-
versation between the portrayer of the
modern swell and his partner:

Mirrors of the Israelites.

The earliest mirrors of which mention
is made in history were in use among the
Israelites in the time of Moses. That
gentleman. as recorded in the Bible,
commanded in a certain emergency that
these articles should be'transformedi into
wash basins for the priests. They were
made of brass. Doubtless similar uten-
sils of this and other materials were in
use long before that. At that same
period black glass was employed for the
purpose, as well as transparent glass
with black foil on the back. It is re-
lated that the Spaniards found mirrors

concave, among the natives of South

THE MocKINe Bird.

There is no other bird sings half like thati
From Eden's bowers it flew,
Out to the world, with wavering plumage
gray
with the unhappy twain, that sad day
The rose wept tears of dew.
It is not nightingale or lark.
Oh, diviner birdi
In moon tipped forests, sweet with night and
dew,
And sun kissed meadows. when the spring
goes through,
It's voice is ever heard.
It's nestsI In.breaks where roses blow,
Where honeysuckles roam;
The wind pipes soft around it, and the rain
OF fearful April parts in twain,
Nor damps its downy home.
Whence cometh it and goeth it2
Born for the souls delight.
No bird that fits through .glories of the
dawn,
Or homeward comes, down deepening twi-
light drawn, r -hf
Can match its heart notes slight.

Successor to the Spot.

Those little beauty spots on ladies'
patches of court plaster on the fair skin,
have found successor at last. The spot
fashion had its drawbacks. The veil was
liable to twist around, and no matter
how carefully that spot was located it
was almost sure to work around so that
it came on the tip of the wearer's nose.
Its successor is a dainty spray of flowers
or a leaf worked on the gauze. One is
supposed to come opposite each cheek

Just how much the postoffice depart

of every imaginable character it is i'm

firm alone sends out considerably over

CHASED BY MAD DOGS.
HAlRBREAoTH ESCAPE OF a CLUB
MAN AND HIS BEST GIRL.

A Yarn Which Goes to Prove That Bark
ing Dogs Do Bite sometimes-stin
Some Savage Brutes Don't Waste Much
No one had spoken at the club for
about an hour when a raconteur rose to
the occasion. Laying aside his pipe with
look of regret he began:
''It's a popular saying that barking
dogs don't bite. Like other popular say
ings this is fallacy and misleading.
Barking dogs do not bite while they are
barking, but there is only one species of
canine that sneaks up to you and takes
hold without. saying word. That is
the Scotch collie, which inherits its habit
of silent biting from a sheep nipping an
cestry.''
"Storyi story!" called out the pres
ident.
"Story? God bless you! I have none
to tell, sir,'" quoted the raconteur, re-
membering his classics; ..this is only a
memory of two dogs, accursed brutes,
that lived with an unfriendly man on a
hill, over which the postroad was laid.
This man, who was Cain among his
fellows, kept two savage mastiffs, who
not only barked but bit whenever it was
possible. 1 was counting my first wife
up there in the Cumberland mountains
in British North America where this
happened, and had to pass the house
regularly. drove a blooded mare that
went like bird, and the dogs were no
match for her, but it was very annoying
to have them follow me down the hill
for mile or more barking and yelping
like demons. They would bark at the
stage coaches and run long distances
after them, but the passengers were safe
inside and the driver and those on the
outside were too high for them to reach.
But heard frequent stories of their at
tacking men, and being beaten off with
sticks and stones. asked why they
were not killed and my answer was
always the same, a shrug of the should
ers and the remark: you don't know
the kind of man their owner is.' II
seemed that he lived alone with his
dogs, and people feared him SO much
they dare not go to him to complain
or call in the provincial laws to .helI
them.

A TERRIBLE CHASE.

"a crisis came, when one day took
my sweetheart out for sleigh ride in a
low pung belonging to her father, to
which was harnessed my own sure and
swift footed mare. 1t was lovely day
and we expected to make a safe and
rapid descent of the mountain, q dis
tance of ten or twelve miles. The air
was crisp and cold, the sleighing fine,
and we skinned up the ascent and
reached the landing before we knew we
had started. There we were met by the
dogs. 1 think it would have been less
difficult to have gotten rid of a pair of
wolves. dare not give my mare her
head going down that long, steep declivi-
ty on frozen snow, and the dogs, en-
boldened by the cold or maddened by
repeated lashings from my whip, jumped
at my companion and tore her cloak and
her dress in mouthfuls. I dubbed with
my whip and beat them ON the head, but
they did not even seem to feel my blows.
Their great black and yellow frames
quivered with ferocity The hair on
their backs stood up like names; their
eyeballs cleaned red and angry, and the
noise they made was deafening and dis
tracing.
"'Ohr exclaimed, why haven't l a

blanched.

There were two dark objects lying prone
ON the snowy road, and as quick as she
could gather her feet under her my mare

to the use of gun.
