Inc Lie. rhinra The Most Valuable

Inc Litt!e Things the Most Valuable.
Comparatively few people tsgard nen,
selves as inventors, but almost every body
has been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to re-
duce some OF the little irictions Of life.
Usually such ideas are dismissed with
out further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company
make its car windows so that they can
be slid up and down without breaking
the passangers back" exclaim- the
traveller "If ] were running the road ]
would make them in such way"
"What was the man that made this
saucepan thinking Off" grumbles the
cook. "lIe never had TO work over y
stoyc, or he would have known how il
ought to have lcen fixed"
"llang such collar button" growls
the man who il late Tor breakfast. "lf |
werciu the business I'd make buttons
that wouldn't slip out, or break Off, or
gouge ont the back OF my neck"
And then the various sufferers forget
about their grievances and begin TO
think OF something else. II they would
sit down at the next convenient oppor-
tunity, put their i,leas about ear windows
saucepans, and collar buttons into prac-
teal shape, and then apply for patents,

bic position for observation.
This Is view of the eastern border
of Mars" said the Professor, as he adj
justed the instrument. Look quickly,
before the pressure Is exhausted Do
not get too near the machine; 1t may
burn your eyes"
The visitor approached and cautious
ly peered into the mysterious box. A
wonderful scene was presented. There
were long chains of mountains stand
ing out against a yellow sky Of bril-
liancy almost indescribable, which
transformed the shadows of the peaks
to inky blackness; beautiful lakes that
reflected the yellow light like FURNISHED
gold, and strange shrubbery resembling
huge ferns and palms.
II will shoot 1t now" said the inven-
the machine. In response to his touch
there was a sound like the beating upon
brass gong. opening a door at the
side of the box, the Professor took out
picture like a crayon drawing. So
that there might be no scepticism the
autographs of the visitors were attach
ed to another sheet of paper, upon
which a view was instantly produced.
The instrument was then focused
upon another part of the planet. This
time the mountain ranges were differ
ent in appearance, and in the valleys
in the foreground trees resembling APP
pie trees could be easily distinguished.
Backed by the flood Of yellow light
they looked like pen and ink drawings
upon gold leaf. The landscape was en-
tirely different from that first shown,
but the strange brilliant light was the
| same.

magnifying power of his instrument is

says is true. If she had all the causes
that she describes, and more, for Il re-
vengeful feeling against Barnes, the
murdered man, it would not abate Jot
the coarse and atrocious brutality of
her part in the crime. Her story and
that of Jordan are very diaphanous as
to the facts of the murder and the
causes which impelled them on to its
commission, for both she and Jordan
could have escaped at any time from
the alleged prosecutions Of Barnes by
leaving him and going elsewhere. The
inhuma and boisterous glee of the
Mahoney woman, as she told the story
OF the murder, her CHASTITY jests on the
subject, and the entire exhibition of
her savage frivolity constitute an alb
horrent spectacle and suggest possible
doubts as to her sanity.

A BIRD-HUNTING PIG.

The following illustrates a pig
intelligence:
We call pigs stupid creatures. This
is not fair. They are really as in
telligent as the majority of domestic
animals, but the lives we allow them
are too short and their opportunities
too few for them to show their abil-
tiles to advantage. The pig of which
[ have more particularly to tell was
by no means handsome specimen,
but what she wanted in beauty she
made up in intelligence.
AS a baby pig she belonged to a
person named Toomer, and she was
:aised with family of young pointer
puppies. She took kindly to her
playfellows, and when they became
Did enough to follow the keeper in
his walks she too would come trott-
ing and grunting after. When Mr..
Toomer began to train his young
charges for the work of finding and
pointing out game there was danger
that piggy might make mischief.
But the keeper would not leave her
shut up at home. He had, he said,
broken many dogs as obstinate as
pigs and could surely break pig
that was so much more tractable than
the rest of her kind.
So he taught her to ''back"
is, to stand perfectly still whenever
dog had found game and was point
ing at it. To teach her this he used
both rewards and punishments; when
she did wrong he pelted her with tiny
stones, for he could not catch her
and chastise her as he did naughty
puppies, and when she behaved her.
self well he had always barley-meal
pudding in his pocket for her. But
this was not all. He discovered that
piggy, like many other pigs, had a
keen sense Of smell. She learned to
scent the game and point at it for
herself, but not quite like dog. A
pointer dog when he has found game
stands generally with one of his fore
paws held up until his master comes
TO him. Piggy, as soon as she was
sure that she had found a partridge
or hare or rabbit, would drop on
her knees and so remain for five
minutes il necessary.
Unfortunately, before her school,
master had time to teach her any
further accomplishments he died.
His widow sent piggy to a man with
whom she lived for three years. But,
alas piggy did not escape the COM
mon doom Of pigs. In the end she
was shut in sly, fattened, and made
into bacon, as al her ancestors had
been before her.

The Vine street approach, howev-
or, has always been the preferred APP
proach of the family and pedestrian
visitors. A graveled walk. bordered
with heavy twining shrubbery, lends
an attractiveness to the entrance
that is the secret of it's popularity.
To the family it was the most con-
venient approach to the living por-
ton Of the house from the center Of
the city, though in later years this
feature has been much modified by
the spread of the city. This walk
also connected with the one leading
from the house to the tomb, which
has been the Mecca of the great ma
jority Of those visiting the place.

Of the nations capital is the model
after which the Polk mansion was
built. The long L-shaped hall, en-
bracing in it's angle the reception
room, and running into the ample
west parlors, with twenty-foot cell
ings, gives to the whole palatial eff

dining-rooms, guest chambers, upper
hall and even the servants quarters
are arranged on the same generous
scale.
In the southeast corner of the
house, on the upper floor, is the room
used by the president as his office
during the short time allotted him to
live in the new home after he sur
rendered the presidential chair March
4, 1919. Three months after this
date he was seized with a sudden i'll
ness and only lived few days. He
died at the age of fifty-four. The

house until her death in August, 1891 l.,

she was not less brilliant or talented.

eARrH's OLDEST REPUBLIC.
A Singular Little State, Jealous Of
Its Independence.


San Marino has just attracted the
attention of the other nations by
opening with great ceremony a
splendid government palace which it
has built for itself.
San Marino is the Oldest republic
in the world. According to the
legend, it's founders, Marine and Leo,
hailed from Dalmatia. They founded
the republic on the Titan Mountain,
which was presented to Marino by
st. Felicissima, and Leo became
bishop of the diocese.
Though it's people are Italian, and
geographically it forms part of
Italy, it is quite independent of the
Italian Government. Moreover, of
all the powers that have ruled over
Italy none has ever attempted to de-
prive the tiny State OF it's liberty. 1t
was respected even by the all-con-
quering Napoleon. True, in 1897, he
offered to supply the republic with
cannon, doubtless with Interior aims
upon it, but his offer was declined
with thanks.

The republic is governed by two
Consuls, called Regents, elected, one
by the patricians and the other by
the citizens and country people. The
Council consists OF sixty members,
elected for life, and comprising 20
mobiles, 20 citizens and 20 agricutur-

OF the ancient Arringo, an assembly
