A Fertile inventor.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Among the
patents issued today were seventeen to
George F. Simmons Of Fitchburg,
Mass. This is the largest number
granted to one man in single day for
many years, but the case is also remark
able because the inventor has, it is
claimed, successfully solved the problem
of applying the principle of ball bear
ings to the heaviest machinery; hither-
to it has only been possible to use these
bearings on light machinery.

What Is Chance?

Some persons have been Of opinion
that chance was the author of all things.
What is chance? In common language,
by this word we express our ignorance OF
a cause, or our want of il,tentiOn. When
we say thing happened by chance, we
do not mean to describe chance as the
cause of the fact or event but merely tC
say that we are ignorant OF the cause, OF
that the event happened without inten-
ton ON our part. The Atheist, however
uses the word to the exclusion of an in
telligent and designing cause from the
formation of the universe. But how did
chance produce either matter or motion
We may indeed be told that we are
eQally ignorant how an intelligent cause
operated in the production OF these
effects. 1t may be go. But by the intro.
duction OF Deity we assign an intelligent
and sufficient cause for all the phenome-
ma, although We may not comprehend
the manner in which this cause operated
in their production.

SLACK Collars.

DECIDEDLY the most startling thing in
collars is the black linen collar. At first
thought one is inclined to smile at u
black collar, hut the fact this collar is
being worn, at once silences the scOffer.
Not that there is any alarming proba bill
ity Of black linen collars becoming pre-
yalent. but the craze for black furnish
ingS-now somewhat on the wane-has
sufficient vitality to carry this phase of
it, which is, of course, but temporary.
The black collar is next of kin to the
black shirt, and is commonly found as
sociated with it. although it is not out
of the range Of possibilities that it may
be quite correct when worn with white
linen. The introduction of black silk
eens" or satine shirts, of course made a
vacuum as to collars. which II Troy deal
er rushed in to fill. This collar, by the
way is the perfect type OF the prevailn:
rolling collar, turned over loosely, il.
stead Of being laundered perfectly fiat,
the former method Of finishing serving
to greatly enhance the appearance ofthe
collar, besides affording reasonabl.
space for the scarf-something with
which most rolling collars do not concern
themselves.

A Question for Alyebraists.

Two Arabs sat down TO dinner, and
were accosted by stranger, who re-
quested to join their party, saying,
that as he could not get provisions to
buy in that part of the country, if they
would admit him to eat only an equal
share with themselves, he would willing
ly pay them for the whole" The frugal
meal consisted of eight small loaves OF
bread, five of which belonged to one OF
the Arabs, and three to the other. The
stranger having eaten third part. and
each of the two Arabs third part of the
eight loaves, arose and laid tefore them
eight pieces of money, ring my
friends, there is that which promised
to you, divide it between you according
to your just rights" A dispute, OF
course, arose respecting the division OF
the mrney; but a reference being made
to the cadi, he adiudged seven pieces O1
money to the owner of the five loaves
add only one piece to him who had
owned the three loaves. Yet the cad
decided justly.

a girl in England became a kitchen
maid in farm house. She had many
styles of work, and much hard work.
Time rolled on, and she married the
son of a weaver of Halifax. They
were industrious; they saved money
enough after while to build them a
home. On the morning of the day
when they were to enter that home
the young wife rose at 4 O'Clock, en-
tered the front door yard, knelt down,
consecrated the place to God, and
there made this solemn vow: 40
Lord, if Thou will bless me in this
place, the poor shall have share of
it." Time rolled on and a fortune
rolled in. Children grew up around
them, and they all became affiuent;
one, a member of parliament, in a
public place declared that his success
came from that prayer of his mother
in the door yard. All of them were
affluent. Four thousand hands in
their factories. They built dwelling
houses for laborers at cheap rents, and
when they were invalid and could not
pay they had the houses for nothing.
One of these sons came to this coun-
try, admired our parks, went back,
bought land, opened a great public
park, and made it present to the
city of Halifax, England. They en-
dowed an orphanage, they endowed
two almshousesz All England has
heard of the generosity and the good
works of the Crossleys. Moral-Con
secrate to God your small means and
your humble surroundings, and you
will have larger means and grander
surroundings. "Godliness isprofltable
unto all things, having promise of the
life that now is and of that which is
to come" Have faith in God by all
means, but remember that faith with
out works is dead"

Go 70 the regions of the sun,
And thou witt find him therO

Where man hath never trod,
And there, beneath the flashing waves.
Will be thy Maker, God !
Fly swiftly Oh the mornings wing.
To distant realms away,
Where birds in 1ewelled plumage, sing
The advent Of the day:
And where the lion seeks his lair,
And reindeer abOunds alone
Gods presence makes the desert fair,
And cheers the frozen zone.
All nature speaks of him who made
The land, and sea, and sky;
The fruits that fall, the leaves that fade.
The flowers that bloom to die
The lofty mount and lowly vale,
The lasting forest trees,
The rocks that battle with the gale
The ever rolling seas

The God of boundless might
In every age and cline adored,
Whose dwelling is the light

The Maine Farmer says: Carrying
on a farm, and writing about it, are
often found to be very different mat
tiers. A prominent writer on farm
m'tters remarked that though he had
been an editor ten years, yet when he
came to apply his knowledge to farm
recently bought, he found he knew
very little about the business. This is
where writers and operators are not
always in full sympathy. The success
full farmer learns through experience
and he can learn it in no other
way-how to make his intelligence
available of results. knowledge is
gained from writers and from the study
of books, but it is only through practice
that this knowledge can be shaped to
do its best work. Intelligence and
practice make good farmer, and the
ripened views of such man may be
taken with much of confidence"

Transportation OF Fertility by Water

Gone extreme follows another For
a long time it was taught that nearly all
of the virtue of stable manure applied
upon sloping surface and not turned
under would be carried away and lost
by heavy rains and the melting of
SHOWS. Now we find writers-men of a
good deal of intelligence, too who as
sert the exact contrary, declaring that
there is practically no loss whatever.
Some experiment stations have taken
the matter up, but so far we have seen
nothing reported from them of a con-
elusive character.
There are two ways in which it is
possible for fertilizing matter to be
moved by water. First, it may be car
ried away bodily by the current. Sec
ond, the water will take up by solution
a portion Of the manurial matters. 1t
is not surprising that in times past it
should have been thought that the waste
in this way must be very great. But
opposed to this opinion stood the OBJ.
served fact that even after great deal
of washing these fall dressings pro.

been looked for if nothing were re-
moved.

Huffman, young man of Burlington,

the care of two prominent physicians,
and had used their treatment until he
was not able to get around. They pro-
nounced his case to be consumption
and incurable. He was persuaded to
try DR.. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, coughs and colds, and at that
time was not able to walk across the
street without resting. He found, be-
fore he had used half of dollar bottle,
that he was much better; he continued
to use it and is to-day enjoying good
health. If you have any throat, lung
