Overdue Inventions.

We were assured that this generation
should not pass away before vast social
and economic changes would be brought
about by Harvesting nature to the chariot
of progress.
All these expectations have been bitter
~ disappointed, and many of us feel that
we are the aging victims of a heartless
deception. Our appetite is still sufficient
~ whetted for favors to come to expunge
the word impossible from the schedule
of our desires. The question is not, What
is possible? but, What is wanted?
To spend half an hour every morning
and evening in dressing and bathing is a
monstrous waste of time. Three hundred
and sixty-fv hours, and more, annually
taken from mans short span of life! The
first thing wanted in these days of high
pressure is soap that shall cleanse with
out water, remove the nascent beard with
out razor or apparatus and without inju-
ry to the skin.
The second is new dress material elas-
tic, warm and beautiful, combining the
softness of angola. the beauty of cambria,
the solidity of broadcloth and the cheap
ness of calico, which would enable us to
wear one garment and pair of boots, in
stead of the round dozen, not counting
the scarfpin, into which most of us have
to wriggie before we can descend to break
fast. For bathing purposes water may
still be retained, pending better substi-
tute, but the bath towel is an obsolete
anachronism. There is a surgical wool
which absorbs moisture with eager alacri-
ty. We require a towel with more pur-
pose in it. The torpid uselessness Of the
SO called Persian towel steals slice from
every mans life. Quicker dressing, easier
shaving, greater cleanliness and more alb
sorbent towels are the first desiderata in
the day.-Arnold White in Cassell's Mag

for in districts which heretofore have

How He Lost a Fortune.

"a few years ago a New England pat
emit attorney was on his way from his
home to Washington on legal business be-
fore the patent Office. En- route another
patent attorney came into the car, and the
first one-Smith We'll call him for short
told his friend that he was going to
Washington. This was good news to his
friend, who asked him to execute COM
mission for him there He proceeded to
explain that man in Washington of the
name of Bell, but about whom he knew
very little, had some kind of patent by
which persons at a distance could talk to
one another.
st isn't a perpetual motion machine,
is it?' asked Smith Jokingly, who, like all
men having to do with patents, was rather
skeptical of new tangled ideas.
''His friend went on to tell him that the
invention had something to Go with cleo
tricity, the science of which was not very
familiar to him, but he knew Smith had
devoted a great deal of attention to that
subject, and therefore he was the right
man to investigate the invention. He told
him, as he understood it, Bell had work
ing model of his patent; that some very
successful experiments had been made, but
he wanted capital to back his idea Bell,
he said, offered to sell half interest in
the patent for very little money, and
this man was so much impressed with
what he heard that he agreed to supply
half the money for the interest if Smith
would do the same thing.
But Smith was not impressed. The
idea of talking over wire seemed SO wild
ly improbable to him that he did not be-
lieye it was worth while to make cursory
investigation, and he never went near
Bell. Think of it, I" said this man in con-
clusion, Smith could have obtained a
quarter interest in Bell is. telephone patent
for a few hundred dollars, and because
the idea didn't just strike him right he al
lowed that colossal fortune to slip through
his fingers boston Globe

American Interference.
With the ending of the civil war
in the United States a new complex
ion was given to affairs in Mexico.
The United States Government had
persistently refused to recognize
Macmillan and had intimated time
and again to Napoleon that it would
be desirable to name a time for the
withdrawal of the French trOOp;.
While we were engaged in war among
ourselves Napoleon paid little atten-
ton to u representations. but when
| the civil wal ended and when besides
our State Department %insinuated the
| probability Of an armed interference
| Napoleon was all attention, and
| from the autumn Of 1856 to Febru-
airy, 1861, the Fren h troops evac-
uated Mexico.
While the French and American
Governments were engaged in a
diplomatic war over the withdrawal
of the French troops Carlotta offered
to go to Europe and plead the cause
of Macmillan before Napoleon and
the Pope. But her efforts were una
vailing. Napoleon turned a deaf ear
to her entreaty that the French
troops be suffered to remain until
Macmillan was firmly established,
and her reception at the Vatican was
hardly less cordial. During the
Papal interview her reason suddenly
left her, and she has since been an
imbecile in the royal palace OF
BOuchnOut, Belgium, over which
kingdom her brother, Leopold H.,
reigns.

representatives of these three cOun-
tries drew up an agreement by which
naval and military forces were to be
sent to Mexico to seize the ports of
entry on the Gulf coast and apply
the revenue to the payment of the
foreign debts of Mexico. No terri
tory was to be seized nor was Mexico
to be disturbed in her form of gov
eminent. In 1861 the allied forces
arrived in Vera Cruz and the follow
ing year a convention was held be-
tween the representatives of the in
vading European powers and Mexico.
Then the designs of France were LAID
bare, and England and Spain prompt
ly withdrew from the enterprise.
War then RACED between the French
forces and those of JuareZ and the
latter was forced to retire to the
northern provinces.

Interesting Exp rimenes.

The following experiment will be
found useful in evening entertain
ments or for children's parties. They
are all harmless, and no trouble can
result from them.
The first one is IN optical illusion.
Cut two figures, just alike, out of
black paper-crOSseS will answer the
purpose-and place them in front of
a white paper, about three inches
from the eye. Have the eXtrem ties
of the crosses about half an inch
apart. Look at them steadily and
you will see three crosses, all black.
and the middle one entirely separate
from the others. Ii the crosses are
made of two coler>, as red and green,
and placed on a black paper, the
third one will appear white.
Another effective experiment is the
floating lights: this is easily accom-
plished, and it is hard for PEOPLE to
see how the trick is done. Insert a
medium sized nail in the lower end
of u half candle. If there is trouble
in pushing the nail in warm it a
little. The candle is then placed in
a tumbler and just enough water
used to reach the top OF the candle
without touching the wick. The nail
is used for a weight. The candle is
then lighted, and it will burn at
the top of the water until the
candle is all used up. One would
naturally suppose that the blaze
would 500 reach the water, and be
extinguished, but the fact is, as the
candle burns away it grows lighter,
and being lighter, rises in the water.
BY using colored glasses to hold the
water. it makes a very soft light for
use at night in case Of sickness.
Another singular experiment can
be easily done. Procure a piece Of
tulle and have a glass filed to the
brim with water. Moisten the cloth
thoroughly and place it over the top
of the glass. pressing it down tightly
to the sides so it will adhere to the
glass. Hold one hand tightly owe
the top Of the glass, so no air can
enter it. and turn the glass upside
/ down. Then by drawing the glass
away carefully sidewise from the
hand, it will be found that the water
will remain in the glass, and not
even a drop will come through the
tulle. 1t is we'll to try this over a
sink the first time, as if one gets ex-
cited and removes the glass too sud-
denly, the water will all escape. The
, whole secret is in drawing the glass
slowly sidewiSe away from the hand,
instead OF lifting it. II

U,d .rstand Your Agreements.

Many Of the disputes which arise
between buyer and seller are due tc
the fact that in making a c%ontrac:
the terms are not clearly understood.
In 50 common a matter as the buying
and selling of goods it is necessary
that all points re.aiive to the trans
action Should be definitely stated.
Some houses state distinctly on their
bill heads the terms on which sales
are made, so that the buyer is COM
PEELED to recognize the terms.
There are many other contracts
which come up in the course of bust
ness which need a clearer understand
ing than the act of buying goods. 1t
is important that both parties should
thoroughly understand the tranSac-
ton. There are publications devoted
to contracts in which form are given,
but many of these legal forms seem
better devoted to Obscuring than
clearing up matters. In all transac-
tions it is necessary to come to u
point and have that point clearly I'M
derstood. Long arguments are not
necessary, and the whole tendency Of
modern trade is to put things on a
basis Of brevity. 1t is advisable to
make a written memorandum OF
agreements, for it will always lie in
evidence and save many future dis
mites.
