Two Rrnthers.

Two small boys signaled a street
car, and when it stopped it was mo-
ticed that one boy was lame. With
much solicitude the other boy helped
the cripple aboard the car, and after
telling the conductor to go ahead re-
turned to the sidewalk. The lame
boy braced himself up In his seat so
that he could look out Of the car
window, and the other passengers OBJ
served that at intervals the little fell
low would wave his hand and smile.
Following the direction OF his glances
the passengers saw the other boy
running along the sidewalk, strain
ing every muscle to keep up with the
car. The passengers watched his
pantomime in silence for few blocks,
and then a gentleman asked the lame
boy who the other boy was.
"My brother" was the prompt re-
ply.
"Why does he not ride with you in
the carp" was the next question.
"'Cause he hasn't any money,
answered the lame boy, sorrowfully.
It is needless to say the little rum
ner was speedily invited into the
car, and the sympathetic questioner
not only paid his fare but gave each
boy quarter besides.

GEN. MILES talk about British
war vessels on the lakes has natur-
ally filled responsible officials at
Washington with establishment at
his recklessness. If the government
of Great Britain should choose to
take official notice of hostile declar-
alton by high officer of the army of
the United States, it is difficult to
see how Gen. Miles can escape the
discipline necessary to maintain the
subservience of the military to the
civil department Of the Republic. 1t
is no part of the duty of army officers
to deliver sensational opinions about
matters appertaining to, the rela-
tions of this country with other coun-
tries. II Great Britain or Canada
should attempt to violate treaty
stipulations with the United States
no individual officer of the American
army need be unduly troubled with
sense of personal responsibility con-
corning it.

obelisks, Mr.. Prentice remarked that
he could surpass the largest
Egyptian production from among
his quarries on the Bayfield,
shore of Chequamegon Bay, or on one
of the numerous Apostle islands. To
Mr.. Fifeld it hardly seemed feasible,
but the earnestness of Mr.. Prentice
and his declaration that il the State
of Wisconsin would accept and
erect the monument he would de-
liver it to the State without cost,
for a State exhibit at the Worlds
Fair, so impressed Mr.. Fifield that he
opened communication with the
Board Of Worlds Fair Managers.
This correspondence, although APP
pearing to the commission to suggest
an impossibility, led them to make a
visit to Ashland, and, in company
with Mr.. Prentice, to view the quar-
ries. After looking over the ground,
they practically accepted Mr.. Prem
tice's generous tender, and agreed to
take the stone as soon as it was broken
from its bed, and move and erect the
same on the grounds to be designated
by the Fair officials at Chicago. Ac-
cordingly work was commenced at
once with five steam channelers and
about forty men, and the work has
been pushed until the large pillar was
worked out.
The monolith is of Lake Superior
brown stone Mr.. Prentice's first
proposition to furnish the monolith
was for stone just a trifle larger
than the Egyptian oDelisk, which is
105 feet 7 inches, exclusive of the
foundation, and 8 feet square at the
base. He first intended the monolith
to be 106 feet in length and 9 feet
inches at the base, but upon a later
consideration decided to have it 115
feet long, 10 feet at the base, and 4
feet square at the top. The apex
will be about feet long, and will be
tapered to about 6-inch tip. The
entire monolith will rest upon foun-
dation of granite 10 feet high and II
feet square.

North Topeka Jan. %, 1860. His
mother died when he was years Of
age, and he was brought up by his
fathers parents. He was literally
the architect of his own fortunes,
having been a jockey until his 10th
year, commencing as soon as he could
manage a horse. He rode horses
summers in Texas, Arizona, Colorado,
Louisiana, Iowa, and Missouri and
attended school winters, thus secur-
ing an education. In 1876 and 1877
he drove a night hack to support him
self, going to school daytimes. In
1878 he had the rights Of majority
conferred by the district court Of
Shawnee County. in 1879 he entered
a law Office and I'm 1884 was elected
County Attorney. He received the
Republican nomination for Congress
last June, made house to house eau
vass, and was elected by majority
Of 3, 900 over fusion candidate.
A striking incident OF his canvass
was the appearances in his audience
in the south part Of his district Of his
Indian grandmother, who wept tears
of JOY at the "big talk" of Charlie.
When the speech was over he went
down to her and kissed her, amid the
applause of the crowd. He is an elo-

Photographic Black.

In charging" the little wax cylin-
ders used upon the Edison phono-
graph for recording and reproducing
speech or song, the singers or instru-
ments whose notes are to be recorded,
are placed as closely to the large
speaking horn of the photograph as
possible in a room from which all
other sound is carefully excluded. If
there is more than one singer or in
strument they are grouped in semi
circle. Four or five, sometimes as
many as seven monographs, are ar
ranged also in a semi-circle. The
sounds are recorded on all simultane-
ously, but not with equal perfection,
some of the cylinders being better
than others. BY this process, If a
large number Of cylinders are needed
to. supply all the monographs con-
trolled by the company, the music is
simply repeated as many times as is
necessary. After testing the cylin-
ders are then ready to be placed up
on the monographs at the railway
stations, seaside resorts and other
public places, where the curious au-
dience of one drops nickel in the
slot and then smiles to himself and
wonders why every one else doesn't
/ saaile. in enjoyment of the feast or
song. A much more rapid process is
used by Mr.. Edison in his works.
What is called a master record" is
made upon a single cylinder, which
isNused similarly to the matrix in the
stereotyping process for reproducing
or multiplying the cylinders as many
times as may be desired.

THE railroad construction Of tha
year just passed in the United States
is footed up as 1902 miles, which is
about 10 per cent. less than the total
for 1891, and less than a quarter of
the IL, $50 miles of track credited to
1887. But it slightly exceeds the to-
tai for 1884, and is one-third larger
than that of 1885, and as much work
was done in this direction as needed
for the legitimate extension of traffic.
The course of railroad building shows
that at any time within the last
quarter of century the work has
proceeded fully as fast as wanted by
the people, and in many cases has
gone ahead of the demand. AS there
is more capital available now than a
few years ago, it is safe to conclude
that new track has been laid down
this year wherever it was really need
ed. Vermont, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, Delaware, and Nevada laid
none, and Kansas and Mississippi
narrowly escaped being placed in the
same category OF inactivity. The
work was we'll distributed among the
other States, and it is worthy of re-
mark that in all cases the length Of
the new track was short A total Of
$50 lines were built, the average
length being but fourteen miles. The
railroad mileage of the United States
now foots up ia, $50 miles, $4,000
miles Of which have been added in
the last ten years, and 104, 900 in the
last twenty years.

she now owns a half interest. She
sings charmingly, accompanying her
self on the piano or guitar, and ham

that its management will always be

1t should be a place where no long

No man afflicted with epilepsy should
ever be turned from its doors to be
jolted and frozen to death in the

to walk through the bitter cold till
her babe freezes stiff in her arms.

Wind Made to Wind a Clock.

The Garre de Nord, Brussels, has re-
Gently been fitted with a mechanical
wonder in the shape of clock, which,
although constantly exposed to all kinds
of weather, never gets out of repair, nor
does it need to be wound by the hand of
man. 1t is a perpetual time keeper of
the most unique and original design, the
running weight being kept in constant
motion, either through the influence of
gravitation, as when on the descending
trip, or by the winds action on fan at
tachment which causes the weight to
rise to level with the top of the frame
work. The winding attachment is not
windmill of the regulation type, as one
might suppose by the headline, but is a
fan placed in common chimney, the
paddles being acted upon by the natural
''up cast" or ''draught." As soon as
this fan has raised the running weight"
to its extreme height, the cord to which
the weight is attached acts on wheel
which throws brake into gear,
and the more rounds of cord that
are added, so much more strongly
does the brake act to prevent
the weight from rising any higher the
checking tendency being transmitted to
the fan wheel with every revolution. A
simple pawl arrangement prevents the
down draught from exerting any con-
trary influence on the fan wheel. There
is not, as one might suppose on first
thought, any necessity of having fire in
the stove or fireplace of the chimney to
which this odd clock is attached. The
natural tendency of air is to ascend
through such vents, the draught thus
created being always sufficient for
weight-winding purposes. The clock
might be placed at the top of hollow
tree with bottom opening, or any other
cylinder from fifteen to twenty-five feet
in height. With its present attachments
this clock runs but twenty-four hours
after the winding fan stops; but, by the
addition of another wheel or two, might
be made to run a month or two, even
though the up draught were not suffi-
GENTLY strong to turn the winding wheel
in the meantime. The inventor Is ma
tive of Belgium. His original models
were on exhibition at the two last Paris
expositions, those of 1873 and 1885,

Ennui of Omcers.

Abiding to one or two conspicuous
recent instances, the New York World
says:
Neither neuralgia nor drink nor
insanity nor debt is necessary to make
a United States army officer feel like
committing suicide. Slow promotion
and lack of occupation causes many
an ambitious man to occasionally
wonder If life is worth living. New
ertheless very few undertake to de-
eide practically that 1t is not.
Nothing Is easier to demonstrate
than that men who are worth any
thing at all must sometimes vary
either their employment or their
enjoyment. The profession of arms
opens up the most glorious possibili-
ties in times Of war, especially in'the
service of a nation which is as well
calculated to take care of itself as
the United States. But it may prove
exceedingly lonesome asitis certainly
monotonous in times of peace in a
country like this, where the arts OF
peace are always to the fore, except
in the very heat Of conflict.
In Germany, on the contrary, these
hypochondriacs would be the jOlliest
of fellows, having men whom they
could command almost absolutely
and having for their imperial master
a young fellow who may not correctly
understand the first principles of
campaigning, but who loves military
reviews better than he loves even the
empress and his children, and almost
al vel as he loves his all-important
self

that were ever framed. From the
very day it went into effect, however,
the quality OF the milk used In the
principal cities Ia the State has
steadily improved, and now 1t is found
that the products of the dairy there
are way above the legal standard.
Milk to be good must, according to
the law, contain per cent OF butter
fat. During the month Of July, out
of the many tests that were made In
various parts of the State, there were
only four dealers whose milk was
per cent. higher than the legal figure,
while the bulk of the milk barely
passed the law. Tests made month
later, however, showed the milk of
fifteen dealers to contain per cent
of butter fat, and now 1t is rarely
that the tests show less than $50 or
4 per cent. Commissioner Upper is
now satisfied that there is no State in
the Union where purer milk is sold.
The law provides that any person
who shall sell, or exchange, or ex-
pose for sale, deliver or bring to an
other for domestic use, or to be con-
verted into any product of human
food whatsoever, any unclean, i'm
pure, unhealthy, adulterated, un-
wholesome or skinned milk, or milk
taken from an animal having disease,
or was taken from an animal fifteen
days before or less than five days after
parturition, shall, upon conviction
thereof, be fined not less than S25 nor
more than 800, and be liable in
double the amount Of damages to the
persons on whom such fraud shall be
committed. The law authorizes the
dairy commissioners to appoint agents
in every city having over 10, 900 in
habitants, and to collect samples OF
| the milk sold in such cities. 1t is
their duty to forward such samples to
the Office of the commissioner in Des
Moines. The compensation OF such
agent at any one time is not to be
more than SO for collecting and de-
livering the same to express compan-
les. The law also provides that the
number of times samples are collected
in each city shall not exceed an aver
age of thirty times during any one
| year.

THE reason assigned by the coal
barons for putting up the price OF
coal was that the miners were to re-
ceiye increased pay, but word comes
from Wilkesbarre that the miners
there are idle, are without food, and
that the demands made upon the
charitable are greater than they have
been for many years. Therefore,
only the barons and not the workmen
are being benefited by the advance.
This being the case, let the authori-
ties begin work without further delay.

And only couple OF centuries ago
the site OF the whole blessed town

ants are applying equally drastic
