The Romans Invented horsepower.

The Romans, among whom agriculture
was highly favored occupation, were
an inventive race, especially in the mat
ter of labor saving machines. Recog-
nlzing the drudgery of handmills, they
invented those whose motive power was
impaired by asses, mules and oxen, and
introduced them into all the countries
conquered by their victorious armies.
There is no positive record of the name
OF the originator of this improvement in
milling. Detroit Free Press.

Albany NeUS and Advertiser: j. W.
Reese of Tilton came to the city Thursday
suffering with a severe wound received on
April 2 On the day of the accident Mr.
Reese was standing near gang saw, which
was running at Lightning speed, cutting
3-lnch flooring, when suddenly piece of
one of the strips was broken OFF and caught
on the saw, and being hurled to where Mr.
Reese was standing, struck him in the left
cheek, and was driven through the bone,
large splinter of the strip was pulled
from the wound Immediately after
the accident, and the best msdi-
cal attention at hand was given the
wounded man. From the day of the acct
dent until Thursday Mr.. Reese's wound con-
tinued to grow worse, his face swelling
enormously and the pain incident thereb8
becoming almost uncomfortable. He felt that
il he could not get speedy relief he could
not endure his sutferings much longer and
so be came to Albany and secured the SER
vices Of DR.. Bacon. After an examination
OF the wound, Dr. Bacon was of the opinion
that the swelling was due to shattered bone,
but found, after Mr.. Reese had been placed
under the influence of ether and his
face had been dissected to the
bone. that the swelling was due to the pres
ence of splinters of wood still remaining in
the bone. Some of these were as fine as
excelsior and become wadded in a cavity Of
the jaw. These were fshed out through
the hole in the jaw bone, aud the wound was
thoroughly cleansed with autiseptics. The
skin was then closed up, and as soon as MIR.
Reese was relieved from the influence of
the ether be expressed himself as feeling
much better. He remained in the city un-
til Friday, when he returned to his home.

The sto.k market was active for the short
session to-day, and weakness, which has been
the feature OF the week. culni1atei in a sharp
decline In the last half hour, when lowest prices
OF the week were reached in ali lea ling shares.
The prime moving force in the market is now
unexpectedly the large Shipments Of gold, and
wnlie weakness in the rates for foreign ex-
change is regarded as iudicating an early end
of the gold shipments, the heavy drain on the
resources of the nks has begun to be felt in
rates Tor money, and operators find themselves
unable to carry stocks with which they are
loaded in many cases. Some of these ship
rnents, however, which are scarcely justified by
the rates which have prev allied or the last two
months, are said to have been brought about by
the same parties who succeeded in locking up
money last fall in order to lower the market
aud Tor the same purpose. There is no other
explanation of the unusual outgO Of gold at the
low rates OF exchange prevailing. The market
started off to-day with some pressure to sell
apparently the remains O yesterdays move
ment, but there were Indications of inside buy
ing in Missouri Pacific and OF buying OF other
STOCKS by operators who were working for a re-
action when the market was per mt. higher
than at pres snt This influence made itself felt
ana general rally of small proportions was
brought about. The bank statement however
which was expected to be bad, showed loss to
surplus reserve Of nearly 50 10000 and a. it
was known to reflect only portion Of to-day's
outgo OF gold, the inference was that the acsual
condition of the banks is not so favorable as in
dicated by the statement. Selling movement
was resumed with increased vigor therefore,
and even the strongest stocks yielded readily
and almost all OF the leading stocks lost over
per cent. from the best prices of the early deal
1dgS. There was au effort to cover on decline
however, and buying in the last few minutes
actually stead ed the market, and brougut
prices in some instances up small fractions.
