STRUNG the selection of ELKINs for caoi-
net position to mean that BLAINE Is
out OF the Presidential race. Says the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat:
1t is reas onable to believe that Mr.. BLAINE is
fully resolved not to be candidate before the
convention. The same reasons that led him to
decline the nomination in 1883 will still exist in
1892, and there will be added to them certain
obje otions of person al character that he will
not care to disregard. The appointment OF
Mr. ELKINs prepares the way for such action
on his part. He. surely does not expect to let
his name go before the convention, or he would
have said SO in answer to some of the earnest
requests that have been made in that relation.
He is in favor of the denomination OF President
HARRISON, undoubtedly, and will thus formal

DUDLEY, OF blocks-of five distinction, is

wanting and Getting.

1t has been said that the reason so few
people get what they want in this world
is that they do not want it hard enough
There is profound truth at the bottom of
this odd conceit. Earnest striving and
perseverance are rare qualities. A little
struggle, and then q falling off; few
faint efforts, and then despair-this is
the usual story of attempts to "get any
thing" whether it be physical, mental
or spiritual good But to long for q
thing SO strongly that for the sake of its
attainment one can conquer obstacles,
live down opposition, ignore discourage
ment and work persistently and through
years OF trial and obscnrity toward the
fulfillment of a hope-is not this the rec
ord of all grand achievements and the
history of all purposeful lives?
Many more wishes might DO realized
If people were willing to pay this price
for them. Anything worth having in
this world is dear, including experience.
Genius itself has been defined as only
unlimited patience, or an endless capac-
ity for hard work.
1t was told of some celebrated general
that he never knew when he was defeat
ed. BY and by he could not be defeated.
A little OF the same spirit infused into
ordinary life work would make many a
dream possible that now seems to the
wistful dreamer as extravagant as the
cloudiest castle in Spain. --Harper's Ba-
gar

A few weeks ago dancing party

Vienna. The regular pianist did not

seat at the instrument and kept the
visitors dancing till break of day. What
Is more, he declined to accept any pay

Intelligence ia Mice.

The organs of hearing and smelling in
mice are very efficient; but their eye
sight is, we believe, poor. Their intel
ligence is, we should think, low, as
might be expected from the paucity of
convolutions in their brains. We sus-
pended tin of flour at such height
from the ground that our little friends
could not quite jump into it, though the
smell of the food made them very per-
severing in their endeavors to do SO.
We then arranged string SO that by q
detour they could get at the good stuff
that way.
One mouse by following that course
attained to the desired goal, but evident
ly by chance, for being startled out OF
the tin, it continued for a long while to
make futile efforts to recover its lost POI
sition by jumping up, never again seek
ing the road which had led it before to
the object Of its desire. For hours we
have lain in bed watching mice trying
In vain to spring into the tin of flour,
none Of them ever perceiving that there
was a feasible road leading thereto

once Too often.

A recent German paper tells the story
of an elderly man who had for a wife
one of those trying persons who, accord
ing to their own ideas, are always in the
right, and who make it a point of con-
science to prove every one else in the
wrong
The poor man was never allowed to
make any statement without having it
instantly disputed by his accurate but
irritating spouse. She had acquired
such habit of correcting and contra
dieting him that, according to the story,
she one day made a mistake which gave
her suffering husband a chance to laugh
at her.
"Do you remember, my DEAR he said
in retrospective mood, "the letter
case embroidered with pearl beads that
you made for me with your own hands,
when we became engaged? TWAS worn

Trials of nm Author.

There came to man who has had

'that | must earn my living by writing
poems. sent poem to the Blank
Magazine, and they returned it with a
printed slip. Now, 1 want you to write
to the editor, and tell him that he made
q mistake"
1t naturally seemed to the author that
he had to deal with humorist or mad
woman; but the lady was certainly in
earnest and apparently sane. He en-
deavored to show her that it was not his
business to interfere with the decisions
of the editors of magazines, who might
be supposed to know their own business.
The lady insisted, however, and in the
end he was forced to decline point blank
to do what she asked. Thereupon she
turned upon him and declared that he
was one of those who endeavor to keep
others out in order that they may have
the field to themselves, and who are
meanly jealous of other authors who are
sure to eclipse them if they are but
heard.

Her method of showing him up has
been to send letters of bitter invective to
the papers, one of which fell into my
hands. OF course nobody would print
them, but she perseveres, and in addition
to this she sends to the luckless author,
whose crime is that he did not make the
editor of the Blank Magazine print the
rhymes of an unknown woman, letter

unopened, and it is not easy to see what
satisfaction it can be to the woman to
keep on with this sort of thing. but the
fact remains that she does The story is
not of profound Importance, but it throws
curious bit of a side light upon the life

weighing Machines.


Weighing machines and scales of some
kind were in use 1900 b. c., for it is
said that Abraham at that time
weighed out" 400 shelels of silver, cur
rent money, with the merchant to Eph-
ron, the Hittite, as payment for a piece
of land, including the cave and all the
standing timber ''in the field and in the
fence" This is said to be the earliest
transfer of land of which any record sur
wives, and that the payment was made
in the presence of witnesses.
The original form of the weighing
scale was probably bar suspended from
the middle, with n board or shell sus-
pended from each end, one to contain
the weight, the other to contain the
matter to be weighed The steelyard
was probably so called from the material
of which it was made and from its for
mer length. 1t is also known as the
Roman balance, and is Of great an
tiquity.-St. Louis Republic.

How Aeratcd wator Is Produced.

How Aerated Water Is Produced.
In the neighborhood of the extinct
Eifel volcano, near the Rhine, in Ger
many, are found springs of mineral
waters which give off large volumes of
natural carbonic acid gas. This natural
gas becomes thoroughly purified in pass
ing up through some two or three hum
dred feet of water, which of course
means considerable pressure upon the
gas. This gas, being duly collected on
the surface, is subjected by means of
pumps to the pressure of five or six hun
dred pounds per square inch, condensing
it into clear transparent liquid, which
is forthwith stored in steel or wrought
iron cylinders of special construction and
exceptional strength.
The manufacture OF aerated waters is
now readily carried on by means of these
tubes, which are easily transported in
manner at once simple, rapid and mex
pensive, no machinery whatever being
required. The apparatus consists simply
of a closed copper vessel of any required
size, nearly filed with ordinary pure
water and connected with tube of COM
pressed gas.
On turning tap on the table the lib
Grated gas rushes under high pressure
INTO the copper vessel, becomes THOR
oughly Incorporated with the water, and
produces forthwith the aerated mineral
water which is so largely consumed and
SO justly appreciated at the present day.
The aerated water can now be drawn off
for immediate consumption or bottled
for future use. Mineral water thus pro-
duced is stated to be entirely free from
any flavor of chemicals. sometimes dis
cernible in that which has been prepared
from artificial carbonic acid gas.-Cham-
bers' Journal
