tigures-fgures which it happens don't
lie, either. Mr.. Hiram S. Maxim has
on exhibition at Bexley, Kent, Eng
land, two propellers operating on the
air which at different times have
developed push of 1000 pounds. A
pull of 1000 pounds would propel a
load of 100000 pounds over the rails
at speed Of twelve miles an hour
or a load Of $4,000 pounds over a
macadamized road. 1t does not matter
how much money and steam were ex-
pended to obtain the now famous g
OOO-pound pull-at first it suffices to
have incontroveritble assurance that
such tremendous pull altogether is
obtainab!e by operating solely on what
so many people still lazily believe to
be wholly unresisting air. At different
times, in the World. mention has been
made of the theoretical possibility
the mathematically demonstrable
possibility - of obtaining ten times
more propulsive force in the air than
is obtained by the use OF screw pro-
pellers, such as are employed by Mr.
Maxim, or, say fifty pounds of push or
pull per horsepower. A push of fifty
pounds would move 1850 pounds-a
wagon, motor and riders-over a good
road. An aero-propelled motorcycle is
possible, say theoretically possible.
Hence, let US try to futter.
Let it be understood, however, that
such an aero-propeller certainly re-
quires too much room to permit it to
travel through city streets. But it
would be available on open country
roads, for rapid transit across our vast
prairies-aye, even across the immense
Sahara. Let those who will, f1utter
there. That is not all. Nearly every
body knows how little force-how little
push or pull-it requires to move loads
on narrow runners over ice and hard
snow. 1t is rather safe to say that
one pound OF push propels more than
100 pounds over such smooth surfaces.
Hence even a mediocre aero-propeller
will suffice for motosleds"
which must be wanted in settlements
where snow reigns for many months
during the year, and which might
prove useful in Antarctic exploration.
Over q year ago conferred with DR..
Cook, the well.known Arctic explorer,
and Mr.. Astrup, for time member
of the Peary exploring party. They
convinced me that rough ice fields,
ice barriers, ETC., occur so frequently
in the Arctic region as to make the
use of heavy sleds impracticable there;
but DR.. Cook though that motosleds
might prove OF value on the vast ice
plains of the Antarctic region.

not know more about it-our home?
There is no star chamber, no secret
meetings; he who runs may read all
proceedings. We are not shut out.
The truth is, we fail to feel response
bility.
Estimate now, in your thought, an
irresponsible person; Skimpole, one
who scars lightly above thought, duty,
responsibility; such an one can scarce.
ly be represented by naught-for
naught may be raised to value when
brought to the side of quantity-but
believe me, o! thoughtless, irresponsi-
ble, unasserting woman, though true,
earnest, philanthropic man seeks to
raise your modest naught to value by
his side, unless you take your right
full place as helper, thinker, sentient
being, you become decimal to him,
and only serve to reduce his value.
Our cities are bankrupt; not beauti-
full in plan or carefully governed.
Could women have done better had
she been alone at the helm? Not at
all. "God made the women to match
the men," He does not work for
halves nor fractions. Eternatly it
takes two halves to make a whole,
and "Man can't break the medal when
God casts the die" The truth-telling
poet sees that, though the politician
can't. This is a universe, not a hemi,
or a sc universe.
The home is essentially and avow-
edly the home, the soul OF the nation
OF all true government, municipal, ma
tional. That is true OF the home, is
true OF the municipality. In the home
is mother, else it is no home. Garry
the equation out. If father of the
home becomes bankrupt, do you know
who becomes the committee on ways
and means? Apply this suggestion to
the bankrupt municipality.
Our cities are not beautiful in plan !;
who adorns and beauties homef If
the plans OF city founders were sub
mitted to a council of thoughtful, re-
sponsibility-feeling women, think you
there would not be thrown here and
there broad sweeps OF avenues, more
knots of trees, more pictures of parks,
more cleanliness, fewer dark corners?
Is not the home avowedly the
greatest factor OF the nation? If so, is
not she who is good home-keeper a
good citizen? Citizenship seeks wo.
men at every point of life, crying out
to them to keep their homes as the
bullwarks of the nation, unspotted !;
teach their children loyalty and patri-
otism; obey every national and mu-
nicipal law; pay their taxes to the
last tithe; uphold the moral senti.
ment, and public institutions.
Our cities are carelessly governed,
because the fathers are too absorbed
with their personal business and po-
litical interests, and the mothers are
Marthas, have not chosen the better
part which shall not be taken from
them.

THE SAME OLD FLAG.
Perpetual Repairs Keep the Capitol
Flags Flying.

Perpetual Repairs Keep the Capitol
Flags Flying.
1t is a question which no one can
answer what becomes OF the flags
which fly session after session over the
two houses OF Congress, says the
Washington Star. The life OF flag
exposed at such height TO the latter
ing winds naturally cannot be long.
Every now and then, after a storm, a
great rent is seen in "Old Glory" as
it proclsims from the housetop that
our statesmen are celebrating. Some
times the edges only are frayed.
Sometimes a stripe is gone, or perhaps
half the stars may be torn away.
Then in q day or two it flies again
with all its stripes and its stars, as if
it had never suffered by the storm.
asked what became OF the old
flags. Nobody knew.
What do you do with them?
Nothing.
They are the same flags; that is,
there are no new ones. The old flags
are simply mended. There is a patri-
otic poem in this. "Old Glory" has q
perpetual life; that is. the ".Old
Glory" that presides over the capitol.
When a stripe blows away, q new one
is put in its place, and the same old
flag is pulled to the head of the staff.
If it is the blue field and stars that are
gone, this is reproduced. If only q
rent, it is darned; if a hole, it is
patched. Then another stripe goes,
and new one is added. So on, the
old portions are blown away, the
newer standing until the new becomes
the old in turn and tears away, and in
endless evolution the old flag lives on.
1t is always the same flag, but from
year to year its entire texture is
changed, and the small bits are blown
away by the winds, and other small
bits take their place. There is no
graveyard for "Old Glory" 1t has
perpetual life. No one can tell when
the flag which floats over the Senate
was bought. 1t is still perfect flag.
but no part of what was fist drawn to
the masthead is now in existence.

Conkiing and Thurman,

Senator Roscoe Conkling WAS once
addressing the Senate in All impss-
stoned manner and seemed to direct
his remarks to Senator Thurman. At
length the latter got irritsted.
"Does the senator from New York."
he roared, "expect me to answer him
every time he turns 10 me?"
For a moment Mr.. Conkling hest.
tated, and everybody expected a ter
rife explosion. Then with An air OF
exquisite courtesy he replied:
"When l speak of the law, / turn
to the Senator from Ohio as the Mus.
sulmsn turns toward Mecca. I turn
to him as I do to the English common
law as the worlds most copious foun-
tain OF human Jurisprudence"
The usually decorous Senate broke
into a storm of applause, and the
Thurman eye moistened little. 1t is
ever pleasure to be complimented,
but to be complimented as a lawyer
by Roscoe Conkling-that was praise
indeed. The two statesmen were the
best OF friends and greatly enjoyed
each others society when "off duty"

Best Garden Culture for caoumbers.

Set stakes ten feet apart each way
then supply near to each stake about
five wheelparrows Of good manure,
which is to be well mixed with the
earth to the depth of twenty inches,
and in a circle thirty-six inches from
the stake. Next place az old -four
barrel, without the head, over each
stake, setting into the soft mold
about four inches, and fill each bar
rel with coarse stable manure. At
the proper time plant your seed
around and about ten inches from
the barrel. When the plants shall
have grown quite strong, they should
be thinned so that you leave about
ten or twelve in the circle around
the barrel.
Beans interspersed and growing
among the cucumbers for week or
two have been found very CELESTIAL
in keeping of the small striped bug,
which is found to be great annoy
ance.
To counteract the effects Of a
drouth, pail OF water should be
thrown into the barrel each alternate
day. The water, however, may be
added with profit when there is no
drouth.

why the Quaker Bought Horse.

The winter Of 1882 was very cold.
The pavements became very slip
perry by the frost, aud did not pre-
sent any hold for the horses feet
and one of these animals, harnesstd
to large cart heavily lsdened with
wood, was utterly unable to advance
a step forward, while the carter, 8
powerful fellow, was belaboring the
poor brute with his heavy whip,
striking him over the head with re-
lentless ferocity. Breathless, and
struggling violently, the poor horse
was SO exhausted by his continued
and severe efforts, that, in spite Of
bis cold, he was covered with sweat
and foam. Now, throwing himself
into his collar with desperate exer-
ton, he tugged so that the stones
beneath his feet threw out sparks of
Ore; now, far from being discour-
aged, he backed few PAGES to take
breath, and again tried, but in vain,
to draw his load. Twice did be near
ly fall, bis knees touched the pave
ment; the carter raised him by the
bit, leaving the mouth of the animal
raw and bleeding. A third time, af-
ter violent effort, he fell on his
knees, one leg sntsngled beneath
him; he could not recover himself,
but fell on his side, where he lay
trembling, bathed in sweat, and his
eyes fixed on his brutal owner. The
rage of his master then knew no
bounds; and after breaking his whip
over the head of the horse, who,
kept down by the shafts, lay groan-
ing on the stones, he began kicking
the unfortunate animal on the nos
trils The spectators Of this cruel
sight looked on with apathy. The
fellow, finding the horse did not
move, took bundle of straw, twist
ed it in the form of torch, and,
taking match from his pocket, said,
an roast him; p'r'aps tbat'll make
him gel up. AT this moment a
Quaker stopped, and pushed his way
through the crowd. When he saw
the carter go toward the fallen ami
nal, With the intention Of applying
the blazing straw to his body, shud-
der ran through his frame, and his
countenance expressed the utmost
compassion. Unable for a moment
to endure this scene, the Q uaker APP
preached the carter and took him
by the arm, who turned with a men,
acing look, as he shook the torch.
"Friepd,' said the Quaker in a calm
tone, showing the carter fifteen louis
dor, which he held in his hand,
"wilt thou sell me thy horse for this
gold?' "Whst do We say ?" inquir-
ed the carter; awill We give me that
sum for the brute 7" and treadisg
out the light beneath his feet. eff.

why should ye buy the horse ~
"That is nothing to thee. If thou
sellest thy horse, thee must unload
thy cart, unharness the horse and
assist him to RISE SIS the gold

and inquire The carter soon re-
turned, saying, sit is bargain
"Then unshRckle the poor horse, for
he is crushed by the weight Of his
burden" The by-standers lent their
aid to free the horse. The poor ami
NAL was bleeding 10 many places
and, such was his terror OF the car
ter, that he trembled at his approach.
''But cannot tell why you bought
that brute, said the carter. ~ can
tell you; IL ,cas 10 free him from Ay

the Quaker.

Zachary Taylor, the trough and
ready Of our American history,
never lost the air OF military COM
mand that belonged to his profess

hardly knew how to behave himself
when surrunded by lovely women.
His entertainments, though few, were
not lacking in the elegance that had
characterized the official careers Of
his predecessors, 1t is well known
that be did not desire the Office Of

marked that be would rather spend
