Influence of a Simple Invention

One cannot always tell, until after the
event, on what apparently insignificant
act his whole future hinges. DR.. Cyrus
Hamlin, president of Middlebury college
in Vermont, and formerly of Maine, in
a recent address at Woodford's said his
life depended on the making of screw.
When at Bowdoin college in 1882 he
made brass screw for Professor Smith g
theodohte, and'that led to his making a
steam engine, the first one built in Maine.
He had never seen one in all his life,
but he asked the professor if he thought
he could sell an engine, if he could make
one, for as much as he could earn by
teaching in the vacation. The professor
thought he could, he had made the screw
so perfectly. So he went to Portland
and went to work in a clockmaking es
tablishment. At the end of ten weeks
vacation the engine was completed, and
sold to Bowdoin college for $175. He
could have earned but $40 teaching. The
price of the engine was sufficient to pay
years expenses at Bowdoin in thost
days.-Bangor News.

Credence in Medicinal Charms.

1t is not only among the rude sayages
of India that the virtue of medicinal
charms is implicitly credited. The il
iterate and simple minded of England
repose all necessary faith in the same
fascinating delusions, and there is no
ancient woman in any of our remote vii
lagos, who processes the customary
knowledge and superiority of her age,
who has not specific charm for whoop-
ing cough, ague, teething, convulsions,
epilepsy and every other common all
ment and disease.
Every one is acquainted with the, eff
cacy of the ''royal touch" in cases of
the kings evil, or scrofula, and scarcely

newspapers all advertisement for the dis

fats have actually suffered from the
weather, so inadequate is their heating
plan. Wood and coal are SO expensive
that even the halls are not heated in the
majority of fat houses; this is SO seldom
done, indeed, that where it is the fact is
blazoned in the advertisements, and the
concierge speaks of it with bated breath.

janitor is meek and docile in comparison.
1t was great trial to my American in

obliged to subject myself to our con-
cierge.
"However, these are the objections to
the native French fiat; they have advan-
tages, too. First, their exquisite neat
ness and the feeling of security one has
in buildings that do not touch the sky.

delightful, airy rooms, two drawing
rooms, a tiny kitchen that would be the
despair of an Irish cook, but in which a
French woman can accomplish all her
duties and keep in the most admirable
order The houses seem better built,
too, than the majority of their American
imitators. Sounds and smells are not
carried so easily from one to another.
On the whole, if one can get over a few
of her home prejudices, life in a real
French fiat is far from uncomfortable. "

FlaIS In Rar1A.

A New York woman, just home from
two years. residence abroad, has this
to say about French fats in Frances: SIN
looking for an apartment in Paris, the
American housekeeper must make up her
mind to relinquish certain things which
on this side she considers essentials.
Steam heat she will not find except in
oneor two recently built houses especi-
ally designed to cater to American ten
ants, and a passenger elevator will also
be very seldom met with. Set wash
tubs do not exist in French fat kitchens,
and the bath rooms are not the comfort
able and convenient places which the
most inexpensive New York apartments
have. There is only cold water for the
enormous tub which stands there, hot
water having to be separately heated for
the bath. There is usually an oil or gas
arrangement in the bath room to do
this, bit the whole bathing system is, to

Charles Heyob, clerk; William Yochum,

least half of these were of a character
which excited suspicion from the start. To

declared their inability to agree as to the

quiet till the days of Burr and Lafitte; next
was the long era of dueling and street
fights, and quiet again till the troubles of
reconstruction times. Seventeen years
passed with no outbreak, then the mer-
curial city rose and slaughtered eleven
Italian prisoners in the face of MONDAY
The immediate occasion was the acquit-
tai, by a jury which most people in New
Orleans think was bribed, of the men ac-
cused of the murder of Chief of Police David
G. Hennessy. But it is plain that this was
not sufficient in itself; there is a curious
history back of it, For centuries much of
Italy was ruled most despotically by for
eigners and native tyrants. The result was
that society was completely ramiied by
secret organizations, such as the Malta,
Carbonari, illuminate, etc.
Italy became free, but evil habits survive
their causes. The most skillful plotters in
the world are still Italians, and the Malta
now a criminal organzation-has been
brought to the United States. After many
murders in New Orleans Chief Hennessy
at last got at the machinery of the order
and began to arrest its members. He was
warned, but persisted and near midnight
on Oct Is last he was riddled with bullets
| by band of Sicilians who lay in wait for
him. The public Indignation excited extra
diligence, and in due time nineteen men
were arrested. Their attorney employed
one Dominick O'Malley, detective, to gather
evidence for the defense. New Orleans
opinion is unanimous in placing the guilt
of bribing the jury on him..

Was 1t Infanticide.

Considerable feeling has been man
ifested throughout town for the past
week over the sudden death of an in
FAINT child of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Emerson. DR.. W. r. Woodward,
who attended the mother, reports the
child when born TO have been, to all
appearances, stout and healthy.
Mrs. Josselyn, who resides on the
opposite side of the road from Emer-
son and was assisting to care for the
child noticed nothing to indicate but
it was healthy. At noon time she
went to her house to get dinner fol
her family, and on returning to Emer-
sons, a short time after, she found the
child dead. Soon after Emerson put
the body in box and buried it.
No arrests have yet been made, al.
though it is understood the States
Attorney has been consulted. Vari-
GUS rumors are afloat in regard to the
matter, the latest to the effect that
Emerson and his wife have skipped
out. AS to this it is probable thai
they are visiting on the east side Of
the mountain.

bought and taken possession of the

sick with the grip. No fears for her
recovery were entertained until Mon

worse and died before help could be
summoned. The case is peculiarly
distressing from the fact that she
leaves four small children, the oldest
only seven years old.
