the stroke of the hour the first piece was
struck. 1t came from the press an excellent
specimen, and fully up to the superior class
OF work done at the mint. All the lines in
the portrait and figures were closely de-
fined. Mr.. Steel delivered t. Mr.. Cobb the
first 400 1892 and 1892 pieces, and that off,

HOW the Patent Office Was Saved.

When, in the War Of 1Sl2-the office
having been removed to building Of
its own two years before-the British,
who had taken the city, trained their
guns upon the Patent Office, DR..
Thornton, throwing himself directly
before the guns, cried:
care you Englishmen or Cloths and
Vandals? This is the Patent Office
a depository of the ingenuity and in
ventions of the American Nation, in
which the whole civilized world is in
terested. Would you destroy it?
Then let the charge pass through my
body"
And the building was spared.
Twenty-four years afterward, however,
it was destroyed by fire, together with
everything in it. And with this came
the beginning of the present building,
added to from time to time, till at last
the noble pile stands complete as it is
to-day, holding model or drawing
of every invention known in the whole
world, and having paid something
more than two millions of dollars over
and above it's own expenses, O sum
which represents only trife of the
great amount it has added to the
wealth of the Nation. .-Harper's Young

THE FARMERS ON SUGAR.

A farmers institute was held at
Genesco Monday, at which Gerritt
S. Glenn, OF Rochester, speaking
on the subject Of domestic sugar
making declared it to be the most
important question before the
American farmer. He stated that
the people Of the United States had
paid out for foreign sugar many
millions more than all the gold and
silver taken out OF our mines since
the discovery Of gold in lS49 and
the development of silver mining in
the Rocky Mountain States. In
proof he estimated the silver pro-
duction Of 1892 at Sc, 900, 900, and
the gold at $35, OOO, 900, total sS5.
600, 900, against our foreign sugar
bill for the same period Of $lO7, OOO,-
600, q deficiency of $22, 900 900.
He also said our surplus wheat crop
exported for 1891, which was .
good one with an active demand at
full prices, did not pay our foreign
sugar bill for that year. He gave
many interesting facts in relation

sorghum for sugar and syrup ma
