A Needed Invention,

One of the inventions which needs to
to be made is checkrein which can be
operated from the vehicle behind without
the trouble of alighting. Many thirsty
horse is driven past the wayside spring
because his driver is too lazy to get out
and uncheck him, and it is hardly once
in Thousand times that the ascent of a
heavy hill is made easy by allowing the
horse the use of the whole Of his spine
instead Of two-thirds of tall he has
when closely reined up. The man who
patents checkrein which can be safely
adjusted from the carriage will make
his fortune and be canonized by the
horses and S. P. G. A.-Kate Fields

A Skeleton Story.

DR.. w. s. Howell, brother of the
editor of the Vienna Progress, had a
skeleton in box. One day he pulled
out the ugly, CHASTITY, grinning skull
and began to handle it. Finally he de-
cided that he wanted that skull opened
so that he could study the inside struc-
ture. There being several seams in tho
skull he decided to fill the skull with
peas and soak them in water, thinking
that they would force the seams apart.
He asked the editor to help him, and
the latter poured peas and water into
the hollow bone and corked up the eye
and nose holes to keep them from run
ming out. Some time after the editor
was startled to see that peas had sprouted
in the skull and the vines were of most
wonderful growth. Out of the hole
where the backbone is joined to the
neck an army Of little vines had grown,
and by some unknown instructive power
they had twined in and through all the
bones Of that body.
The young tendrils had wrapped
around the stovepipe and table legs and
the whole skeleton had been reared up
ward in the middle of the room. From
the nostrils and eyes vines were stream
ing that had clustered around and upon
the presses, stands and tables, and from
each joint hung a pod in likeness of a
small skull, the exact counterpart of the
large one. It is rumored that when the
editor beheld these things he left the
Office by the window route, and the
skeleton is still in full editorial control.

ArSeniCal POISONING.

Arsenic, so deadly in acute poisoning,
is also greatly dangerous to those who
use it in their daily work. Much cheap
wall paper is colored with arsenic.
Chronic poisoning by it in it's earlier
stages is particularly disagreeable. The
eyes, nose and throat are inflamed so
that the patient continually complains
OF having cold in his head. A cold in
the head was not one Of the ten plaques
inflicted upon the Egyptians probably
because they had done nothing to de-.
serve such a terrible infiction.
AS arsenical poisoning progresses the
person suffering with it is salivated. He
shows nervous symptoms; his limbs may
be numb, or, on the other hand, painfully
awake to the slightest sensation. He
faints, he has convulsions, he dies of ex-
haustion.-New York World.

A few minutes before noon the other
day a tow OF twenty-five loaded canal
boats swung briskly around the Battery
from the North river. The column was
formed OF four fours and two threes,
and wNs kealed by two big tugs. On

the big tugs with their unusually long
tow lines had puffed up the East river
almost to the foot Of Wall street and
had slowed up, the twenty-five canal

Of rubber cords, lifting the two lines

The line of boats wrapped itself snug

The river became dotted with tug
boats which wanted to get in other slips,
or which just putfed up along to see the

and six tugs glided up alongside of the
canalboats and made fast. Then no.
body seemed to know just what was

signals were sounded.
The captains Of the ten ferryboats be-
gan making impolite remarks to the
captains of the eight tugs; the deck
hands on the ferryboats became pur-

drowned the screaming whistles with
strange oaths such as are used to exhort
toWpath mules, and thousands of de-

The Am erican Ak Helye.

All the world admires and wonders at
the American ak helve. The American
ak fitted with that ingeniously curved
and gracefully fashioned handle is a
marvelously effective weapon, vastly
more apt for it's purposes than the
straight handled headsman's ak with
which the Italian fells trees, or the
broad faced hatchet used for the same
purpose in France. The American ak
helve is just what might have been ex-
pected of an inventive people laden with
the duty of conquering and civilizing a
forest clad continent. The world had
been using the ak since prehistoric times.
but it remained for the American pioneer
to fashion the ideal ak handle, at once
light, strong and elastic. The ak such
as is familiar to all Americans is rare in
Europe, and it sells in all the British
colonies as the American ax.-New York

Tho Dinner Hour In History.

IL IS DeNeved Dy some that the word
dinner springs from a corruption Of tho
word dixheures, Indicating the time at
which in the old Norman days this
meal was taken. The mere idea Of hay-
ing dinner at the barbarous hour Of 10
o'clock in the morning would, III all
probability, send a modern chef into d
fit, yet it was at this early time that per-
sons Of quality, both in this country and
France, partook Of the meal. Froissart
mentions waiting upon the Duke Of Lam
caster at in the afternoon, after he had
supped, and during the reigns Of Francis
I and Louis XII Of France fashionable
people dined from 1890 and supped at
the latest at 6 in the evening. And again,
from Northumberland household book,
bearing date 1919, we learn that the
family rose at 6, breakfasted at Z, dined
at 10, supped at 4, and shut the gates at
0p. M.
Speaking generally, though the dinner
hour then, as now, was later in this
country than in France, Louis XIV did
not dine till 12, while his contempora-
ries, Cromwell and Charles II, took the
meal at /. In 100 the hour was ad-
vanced to 2, and in 1851 we find that the
Duchess of Somerset's dinner time was
3. In 1850 Cowper speaks of 4 O'clock
as the then fashionable time. After the
battle of Waterloo 6 p. m. was the time
at which the beau monde took their sub
stantial meal, while at the present day
many of the nobility do not dine until
or 8, so we see through 400 years the
dinner hour has gradually moved
through twelve hours of the day--from
8 a. III. to 9p. m. When tho dinner hour
was so early often no previous meal was
taken.-Chambers' Journal.

cided that the Utah commissioners are en-
titled to compensation at the rate of 81, 00O
per annum for the entire fiscal year be-
ginning July last, notwithstanding the
fact that the act of July l6. 1892, reducing
the salaries of these officers from 5000 to
$4,000 per annum, did not take effect until
fifteen days after the beginning of the
present fiscal year. This at frat glance
would seem rather CT post fdcto, but the
joint resolution to provide temporarily for
the expenditures Of the government, ap-
proved June 80, 1892. which, among other
things, provided that all reductions of
salaries made in pending appropriation
bills should run from the beginning of the
fiscal year to which they applied. And
still we hear of no designations on the part
