The county newspaper is ono OF
the most useful and least compe
saicd of all the enterprises which
stand the impress of progress upon
villages and inland cities. Without
the aid OF local newspapers towns
are dead and thriltlcss. II is com
mon for some men TO speak with
contempt of the local paper, but the
little sheets have made more great
men out of less material, more brick
without straw than any other factor
IN existence, and is the one ladder
on which men climb to local dis.
tinction as the beginning of a
wider fame. The local newspaper
is the life of It's section, and the
measure Of its support measures til e
enterprise and advancement Of its
people.

Politeness 81 Bore.

Ii all the stories are true which are told
about the little King of Spain, he must be
a very willful little boy indeed, and quite
determined to have his own way in every
thing. One cannot greatly blame the
little King for his waywardness, because
the rules of his country are such thai the
word of the King is law, in many things,
whethe: that same King be young or old,
little or big. So little Alphouso must be
pardoned If he is a spoiled" child.
One day Alphouso and his g~overness
were out driving. when suddenly the
goyerness noticed that the little King was
not acknowledging the salutes of his
subjects.
II am too tired to bow to them" ex-
claimed he, pettisaly, land / am not 60
ing to do It,"
But you must acknowledge their sa-
lutes," insisted the governess. because
you are their King, aud it is one of the
customs for a King to bow to his sub
~jects."
II shall not bow to themp' exclaimed
Alphonso. loudly.
Then you cannot drive in the carriage
with me" replied the governess, kindly,
but firmly, for she feared that Alphonso
would offend his subjects.
Then you may get out and walkl" ex-
claimed the naughty little King. Then,
calling to The coachmau, he cried:-

A CLOCK MADE OF FLOWERS.

The Curious Mech anica1 and Decorative
Sight in a Park Garden.
A little masterpiece of mechanism, aud
at the same time II model of garden deco
ration, is the floral clock which decorates
the garden of au ingenious Partisan. The
dial, which is not less than thirty feet in
diameter. is composed entirely of choice
plants of various colors. The hands,
which actually move over the face of the
clock, are made in the same manner, and
the whole effect of the arrangement Is
that of an immense basket OF flowers. The
mechanism which drives the hands is
lodged IN a large chamber built in the
garden Immediately beneath the dial 1t
is composed of the usual machinery m
ployed in operating large clocks, except
that 1T is particularly constructed to
movs the great weight of the earth which
must be supported by the revolving
hands. This is cleverly accomplished by
making an ordinary clock train release a
volume of water every minute, and this
by Its gravity operates the wheels that
send the heavy hands forward. The
whole arrangement Is exceedingly in
genious and interesting, and is the daily
admiration and wonder of hundreds of
the inventors townsmen,-PhtladelphiG

THE POWER OF WATER.

A Stream So Rapid That 1t Cannot
Be Cut BY an Axe.
After an elaborate series of computa-
tions. Professor Samuel B. Christy, of the
University of California, an eminent
authority on mining and metallurgy, re-
ports that if a nozzle of FROM six to nine
inches in diameter were especially ar
ranged to throw a stream vertically up
ward against a spherical boulder of quartz
weighing 1000 pounds. the vertical head
being anywhere from 100 to $50 feet, the
boulder would be forced up until the di-
minished velocity of the stream estab-
lished an equilibrium of %pressures. There
would be a point at which the upward
pressure of the stream would exactly
balance the gravity pressure of the
boulder, holding it, the half ton rock,
there suspended.
AS no cutting these streams Prof.
Christy says that he has often tried to
drive a crowbar into one of them. The
stream felt as solid as a bar of iron, and,
although he could feel the point OF the
crowbar enter the water for perhaps half
an inch, the bar was thrown forward with
such force that ir was almost impossible
to retain it in the grasp. An axe swung
by the most powerful man alive could not.
penetrate the stream, yet it might be cut
by the finger of a child, If the child were
ocosoo away oA0iu AiosiHR parallel
with the stream in the same direction
and with the same velocity. That velocity
would be considerably more than a mile
a minute.

ematics of the problem submitted by
Judge Field. He delivers the opinions

Piety and Business.

What are we to say of the following
specimen of English advertising which
emanates from a Leeds firm in the form
of a CIRCULAR Whatever that firm may

Almighty is particularly interested in the
manufacture Of BOTTLES. plain and STOP

what must be the frame of mind of peo-
pie who think that such a circular will
either please Providence or attract GUS
toners The circular runs as follows:-
"Gentlemen-In the all-wise Providence
of God have we been led to join in part

beg to inform you that having bought the

FOOTBALL IN FAVOR
Princeton and Harvard
Players Will Watch
Yale Today.
AMERICAN TURFCONGRESS
1t Adopts Many Important Rules
Bowling and Ring Notes.

The Palma football eleven will kick at
South Orange today against the team Of
Seton Hall College. The Palma boys
who have won two games are confident
OF securing another victory.
Almost as much interest is taken at
Princeton in today's game between Yale
and Pennsylvania as would be the case
if the Princeton team were a party in the
game. After the issue Princeton men
can figure out what is left Of their chances
with Yale. The sympathies of Princeton
are with Yale. and they believe the New
Haven men will make not less than TWO
touchdowns. A close game would be a
boom for Princeton's present low stock
for the Thanksgiving anne.
Crowds of students will come from
Princeton today to witness the play of
the wearers of the blue against the
Quakers, and Captain King with some
trusty lieutenants will be on hand with a
practIsed eye for points on Yale.
Tracy Harris, $50. aud O'Donuell, 80,
coached the team yesterday. Wheeler is
hobbling and Romans is little better off.
Holly is now past hope as "a likely tackle
for the big game. King is again going
into playing trim. Symmes was out at
centre. The practice was light. little be-
ing done beyond drill in signal tricks and
defensive plays.
The harvard football eleven will watch
the Yale-University of Pennsylvania
match on Manhattan Field today.

An English writer has this to say on
the subject of h~andshaking:
We are credibly informed that hand
sh akiug, which is supposed to be a proof
Of friendly feeling, first came into fash
ion in the time of Henry II. 10 to that
time our ancestors were more affection
ate in their greetings than we, their
colder natured descendants, embracing
and kissing each other much in the same
fashion as our neiRhbors on the other
side of the channel aud in Italy are &C.
customed to do at the present mo-
ment. The historian who Is pleased
to date the commencement of hand
shaking In place of OSCILLATION and en-
bracing about Henry II's time is perhaps
in error, as it Is more probable the close
embrace Of acquaintances began to be
discontinued later on, perhaps when to-
bacco was first introduced into this coun-
try. This certainly seems a probable
surmise, as even in our present year of
grace II man who has been smoking a
cheap cigar or a rank pipe is certainly
not the most enforceable object In the
world. and only think what the tobacco
of Raleigh's time must have been likel
However, whether Henry II did or did
not begin the fashion of s'shakin @
hands," it is now rapidly becoming over
done in England.
