Curious Inventions.

The history and growth of inventions are
subjects in which all ara interested.
The stylograph pen brought in $40, 900 3
year; the India rubber tips to pencils Geo.
600; metal plates for protecting the soles
and heels Of boots brought in e250,0 0e in
all; the roller skate 100000.
A Clergyman realized 440O a week by the
invention of q toy: another toy, the return
ball, brought in an income of 100000; the
Dancing Jim Crow" els 900 q year. The
inventor of a copper cap for children's
boots was ablo to leave his heirs se4GO, OOo;
while Singer, of sewing machine fame, left
at his death nearly 5G3, 900. 900.
There are other and wonderful things
which people have thought it worth while to
patent, strong in the hops of making a big
fortune in the near future, only to find in
so many cases that their inventions were
impraoticable and very often perfectly
ridiculous.
Among such may be mentioned a child's
bib with a trough attached. the whole
formed of some waterproof materials; a
pocket which cannot be picked; a muff and
boa filled with air to save you from a watery
grave; cuffs and collars made of steel,
painted o: enameled white; trousers with
double legs the outer legs getting soiled
or despatched You tuck them up, and be-
hold a clean pair. This arrangement would
be suitable. | should say, only when worn
with an overcoat. d
Under the head Of umbrellas and walking
sticks we find some marvellous inventions.
One is an umbrella which, in some wonder
ful way, is converted into q walking stick,
and SO formed that q spear can be attached,
when it ia used as a weapon of ofense and
defense. recommend it to elderly ladies
in the dog days, as a protection against the
sun and mad dogs. The next invention is
a rain absorber, to prevent rain from run
ming DOWN from hats and umbrellas.
The absorber is formed either of uncov-
cred sponRes or Of sponges covered by u
fabric. We are told that the absorber can
be readily removed from the article,
squeezed and replaced. We come next to
an article which the inventor has named
(take Il long breath n shut your eyes) the
neutrality-suspicious." This is an umbrella
which can be taken apart; the silk and ribs
being hidden within the stick; it is thus
transformed into a stout walking-stick.-

Stories of tho kaiaer.

The German emperor has a torpedo-boat
always ready at the so-called "Matrosen
station.s or sailors station, in which he ia
accustomed to make excursions to spandau
and other places from Potsdam. The other
day he WAS returning from a dinner on the
boat, when he heard his officers calling him
BY q nickname which he could quite catch.
Going up to them, he said: What IL the
name you give me?" Everybody was silent,
until a general stepped forward and an
swered: II assure your majesty that You
have no nickname" The emperor was not
satisfied; but, taking aside a young officer
on board, he said: II have asked in vain
what the nickname is that you call me; !
now order you to tell mel" 'As your ma
iesty orders, / ana compelled to say that it
is-.Gondel- Wili.'" Ih word means
gondola. or boat Will; and, Of course, 1T
refers to the smperor's numerous voyages
by sea and river.
Another story which reaches mo from
Pots lam is Of = less harmful character.
The German emperor appeared a few days
ago before the barracks Of the Guard-hus-
sars. He dismounted and gave the corporal
of the guard orders to march hia men away
silently into the officers mess close BY.
Then he caused the alarm to be sounded BY
the trumpeter OF the guard, whom he kept
by his side. The officer of the guard, who
had noticed nothing OF the event, cane
rushing out, but the guard was gone.
Where 10 your guard, sir" said the en-
peror; to which the unfortunate man could,
of course, give no answer. His majesty
was nightly pleased At the result of his
practical joke.

why the Hair Falls Out,

Dyspepsia il one OF the most common
causes of badness. Nature is u great econ
omizsr and when the nutrient elements
furnished by the blood are insufficient TO
properly support the whole body she cuts
off the supply to parts the least vital, like
the hair and nails, that the heart, lungs
and other vital organs may be the better
n%ourished. In cases of severe fevers this
economy is particularly noticeable.
A single hair is a sort of history to the
physical condition of an individual during
the time it has been growing, if one could
read closely enough. Take a hair from the
beard or from the head and scrutinize it
and you will see that it shows some attenu-
ated places, indicating that at some period
of its growth the blood supply was deficient
from overwork, anxiety or undertaking.
The hair falls out when the strength of
its roots ia insufficient to sustain lts weight
any longer, and a new hair will take its
place unless the root is diseased. For this
reason each person has a certain definite
length OF hair. When the hair begins to
split or fall out massage of the scalp 10 ex-
cellent.
Place the tips of the fingers firmly upon
the scalp, and then vibrate or move the
scalp while holding the pressure steadily.
This will stimulate the blood vessels under
meath and bring about better nourishment
of the hair. A brush of unevenly tufted
bristles is also excellent to use upon the
scalp, not the hair.-Yhe National Barber.

get off the train, and while they are
walking they might just as well go afoot

Der of teams belonging to our citizens
running between this city and the en-
campment ground, and they should be

Jarbeau ON Tights.

Miss Jarbeau discoursed Interestingly
upon tights. 81 don't suppose l shall
ever again wear full tights-that's
what we call out-and-out tights, you
know-though I've made some of my
best hits in them. When woman once
gets in the way of wearing tights she
can't help longing to keep on acting in
them. You can't imagine the glorious
exhilaration of being in tights, with no
skirts to get in ones way to occupy ones
mind. But there's one thing 1 won't do
or allow any woman in my company to
do, and that is, appear in tights and a
decollette bodice at the same time. \ n
Yes, it's true that / trained those
kids in 'Stsrlight' myself. The secret of
keeping them i'll control on the stage is
in feeding them there. Curious fact
about kids, isn't it? Oh, 1 suppose 1
can do little of everything. Eve sup
ported Mojeska, you know, and played
Shakespeare. l have some confidence
in my initiative faculties. / can usually
catch on to an actress or singers style
and voice sufficiently to reproduce them,
after seeing her two or three times. -

How the Boys win come.

Co. Z vi i'll start in four wagons on Fri
dav morning at o'clock. Capt. Wilcox
wrote to Capt. Gaffney proposing that
the Fossil boys go as far as Condor Fri
day and camp there over night, and then
start on Saturday morning with the Con-
don boys, who propose making the trip
to Arlington the same day, but Co. E
preferred to go as far as practicable the
first day, and more evenly divide the
two days journey. They will probably
camp at Glenn Friday night, and reach
Arlington in time to rest there some
time before taking Saturdays midnight
train for The Dalles. Every man must
provide his own rations to Arlington,
but we think from a perusal of the
orders that the price of the same will be
refunded by the state. If not, it is an
imposition, and will be denounced as
such. Between here and Arlington four
meals will be required.
H Co., Sd Reg. o. n. Ct. will leave
Condor Saturday morning, June 27, and
will take the midnight train of that day
at Arlington for The Dalles, where they
will join their regiment in a six days
camp of instructions.
