The city Of culture and scientific re
search, Boston, is responsible for n valua
BILE patent in 1866. A resident of that city
invented 'counterweight for an ele
vator," which was to aid the machiner,
and require less steam power, thereby saw
ing fuel. A series of 60-pound weight,
were to be kept on the upper floors Of t
building, and when person wished to de
scend he was instructed TO place one o
these weights in the elevator When tn,
ground floor was reached the person wa,
requested to remove the weight from tn,
elevator and hang it up in u place pro
vided. The inventor was silent on thu
subject as to how the weights were to b.
returned, but it may be inferred that tn,
4 ianitor was supposed to carry them III
stairs and replace them after the elevate
stopped at night. The practical applica
ton of this device in building like tn
, Equitable would create much interest ant
profanity.-Ne York News

It is related that years ago, when Whit
tiers works were not as popular as now,
he was walking one day on Cornhill, when
he met Muzzey, the publisher and book
seller. After some conversation about
poetry and one thing and another, Muzzey
proposed to pay him $500 for the copyright
Of his productions and a percentage on the
sales. Mr.. Whittier was vastly astonished.
He thought pill and booklnaking had com
bined to make the man crazy. But MuZ
zey was in dead earnest, and at last Mr..
Whittier, with reserved feeling of com
passion for the demented publisher, con
sented to the arrangement.
Muzzey brought out the hitherto Ill
dressed and obscure children of the poets
brain, which he picked up here and there,
in neat and attractive shape. The sales
which Immediately followed astonished
nobody as much as the poet himself, but
he gradually reconciled himself to them
and began to put money in his purse. He
realized, however, no very great sum from
his productions before the advent of Snow
Bound" which he himself considered a
very Indifferent bit of versifcation, its
sudden popularity being one Of the great
est surprises of his lfe.-Boston Journal

We are ahead in the extent and

prompt and reliable service
given to our customers; and
no, there's one point in which
we are not ahead--in prices, jim

FOOTSTEPS.


But only for little space
The tiny footsteps falter,
And now are vanished from their plaza
And now the others alter,
Showing n slower, heavier tread
Then, loi two shoe prints only,
The smaller, daintier ones are fed;
On plod the others, lonely.
And now they drag through winter snow,
With prints that merge together;
And there are ruby streaks that show
Where thorus have pierced the leather;
And now the lark returns to bed
For twilight has descended;
Untrodden is the track ahead,
And all tho prints are ended.
