A NEW
A Valuable Contrivance the Product
of L zeal Genius.

Jay Walker, proprietor of the Oak
Palace barber shop, is the inventor of a
novel and handy device, consisting of a
combined lamp and lunch pail, so ar
ranged as to serve the double purpose of
lighting the miner or factory hand to
and from his work, and heating his coffee
or other v%ictuals at the hour of meal.
This device is a grand departure from
existing methods, and is destined to le-
come quite popular, ever standard, in all
localities where many men are employed.
1t is bnilt in simple and convenient
form, either oval or rectangular, with an
oil lamp placed in one end. Back Of
the lamp is fixed a metallic concave re-
f1cctor and in front is a bulls eye of
heavy glass, through which the concent-
rated rays Of light pour in a strong,
and steady stream. The smoke flue pas
SEES upward through the middle of a NOV
able vessel, designed to hold the coffee or
| other drinkables, desired to be heated.
| Only a minute or two are required to
warm a cup of coffee, and all those who
take lunch at their work know how es-
sential is a cup of hot coffee in commune
ton with a cold lunch.
Everybody who sees the device is we'll
satisfied as to its great utility as well as
practical or commercial value. More
than fifty have already been ordered, and
it now begins to look as if the Walker
combined lamp and lunch pail, before
the close of '96, will become THE thing
required in all mining and manufacture
ing districts.
We called upon the inventor this week
for the purpose Of examining his model
and to inquire what progress he is max
ing with his patent. When asked his
opinion regarding its prospective success
Mr.. Walker said he was not over-confid
ent upon the subject, but that on the
Judgment of all who had seen it he fel,
sure that it possessed commercial value.
To the inquiry whether the article il
yet patented he replied that he had re
tanned the very best attorneys and ha(
filed a caveat in the government patent
office, but that he had in mind a numbei
of somewhat minor Improvements which
he desires to perfect before he applie'
TO a patent. His attorneys have prom
ounced the devise patentable.
Regarding a plan of placing the arti
Gle on the market, he had thought o
none, but suggested that the thing is 81
simple in construction, he really though
the business of making and selling i
conld be easily set afoot. We predic
that a fortune awaits this lucky inventor

CATS AND DOGS.
h Moods, Temper and Natures of the
CANNES and Felines.

---
ne Moods, Temper and Natures of the
CANNES and Felines.
Cats do not take punishment as
dogs do. Their tempers rise, and if
struck they are apt to strike back,
but beyond a gentle cuff to a kitten
now and then I lind a scolding Dr. an
exclamation of rebuke enough. They
are also less intelligent and forgiv-
ing than q dog if unintentionally
kicked or trodden on. There is no
moro beautiful expression in a dogs
face than the look he turns to the
friend who has involuntarily hurt
him before there is time to explain.
His whole demeanor expresses the
highest magnanimity, not only the
foregono pardon, but the eager de-
sire that the offender shall think no
more of the mattor.
In many respects cats are more
like men and women than dogs are.
They have moods, and their nature
is complex. A dog is very much of
a piece. He is a good dog Or a bad
dog, brave Or cowardly, honest or a
sneak. Tho canine intelligence is
much higher than the feline, but the
disposition is simpler.
Cats are exceedingly irritable by
temperament. sensitive to changes
of the weather, to frost. to thunder.
They are excitable and naturally
disposed to bite and scratch when
at play. There is a curious tendency
in them, as in i'll balanced or over
strung human beings, to lose their
heads when in high spirits, and the
self command most of them show
when full grown in resisting these
impulses is a striking proof of con-
scious responsibility. A full grown
pet cat scarcely ave scratches a
young child, no matter how much
mauled by it. Besides being irrita-
BILE they are moody and subject to
depression, probably q physical re.
action from the former condition.
Princess, though not a sullen cat,
would sometimes forsake the hearth
or veranda and pass days by herself
on q garden wall or under q bush,
not i'll or out of temper, but out of
spirits, morbid and wishing for soil
tude instead of the sympathy which
she always sought in her real all.
ments and bereavements.
Her peculiarities, both of race and
individuality, were remarkably de.
fined, even when she held them in
restraint; but, with n exception,
all the cats I have known are cap.
tious. Their instinct when i'll or sad
is to be alone, but this is entirely
neutralized by petting. They be-
come as dependent on and
sympathy as children and much
wiser than children when they are
i'll or injured, as they apply for re-
lief with the most unmistakable
suggestions, sometimes indicating
plainly where they r. in pain and
presenting the suffering member fol
treatment. They ire not SO patient
as dogs in taking medicine or sub
uniting to surgical care, but show
their recognition of its benefit by
coming back for it under similar
circumstances Temple Bar.

One cause Of failure to realize q profit

In very many cases sufficient number
OF poorer animals will be kept that
yield hardly a sufficient amount OF milk
to pay for their keep, and the conse-
quence is that taken altogether dairy

Find out by careful trial which are
the best cows; select them out and
breed them so as to improve; fatten

bottom, and while it is important it is
not everything; to good blood must be

The Year Book" of the department.
|of agriculture tells about cow black
birds and what they eat. About 1890
of their stomachs have been examined,
and of these 2,25S contained food. The
bircs were killed in rs states. Forty
eight per cent. of the food was animal,
As per cent. vegetable, and four per
cent. was mineral. The bIackbird has
a variety of things it eats.
'The animal food" says the report,
consisted of insects, spiders, myria-
pots (thousand legs), crawfish, earth
worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails,
fishes, tree toads, salamanders (newts),
lizards, snakes, birds eggs, and mice"
Tc these might have been added young
bids, fish cast up by the tide, nlinnows
caught while swimming in shallow wa
ter, and probably meat and carrion OF
various kinds. Most of the animal food
is, of course, insects. These constitute
46 per cent. of the total, the other two
per cent. being the larger things, like
mice. The animal food is taken most
~ in the summer. In the winter the
tood is mostly vegetable matter. The
insects the bird kills more than make
up the damage he does, especially as
his nest robbing appears to be only
an incidental habit not often INDUCED

why is it," said city resident, "who
went out to look for a summer home,
that there seems to be so little sense
OF beauty and picturesqueness in the
minds OF those who build summer cot
tages? Why should it not be just as
easy to make a presentable dwelling as
some OF the awkward, unattracti tive
places that we see oil over the country :?
surely beauty is not so costly that one
cannot have it in a small residence as
well as large one. Indeed, it is the
opinion OF many that a cottage may be
the most picturesque dwelling imagina-
bic; but country architects appear to
be sadly lacking in the knowledge Of
how to construct cottages and villas on
the most approved lines. Angles are
always expensive. yet we see little
gables and corners, and undercuts and
cuddy holes that have no apparent rea-
son for being other than the desire to
break q plain expanse.
las a sample blunder one might mem
ton country house built at a consider
able cost, but with the second story
finished with sloping sides following
the angle Of the roof. What possible
reason can there be in building house
In such a way practical good sense
would be glad to discover. If one is linn
tied as to means, and must make little
80 great way, this furnishes a reason !;
but where people build for home, and
intend to make a picturesque as well
as handsome house, there are no bet
ter ways to produce the effect than to
slope the side walls of the second story
to follow the angle of the roof.
"Dormer windows are another folly.
They are much warmer in summer, are
much more expensive to build and in
every way less desirable, from the
points either Of beauty or utility, than
the square, clean-cut finish. One may
much better add porches or little bal.
comics, which are the most delightful
of all additions to rooms, or put in bay
windows, if it is desirable, to break up
the severe lines; but whoever builds for
common sense and practical notions,
let them not indulge in the folly of q
three-quarter second story cut up with
slopes or quantity of dormer windows
that shut out a great portion of the
light and obstruct free circulation OF
air. This is especially important in
*leeping-rooms, and it is in this portion
Of the dwelling that such accessories
are likely to be found.
"There is no more useful, practical
and economical house than one built
with two full stories and an attic, pro-
vided one is able to build it. Every foot
of space can be utilized, and there are
no corners and irregularities to fit up
and finish or to keep watch of and patch
i'll case of leakage.
at is a well-understood fact that all
Of these additions are difficult to build
SO as to insure perfect water-tightness.
AS every one of these ornaments adds
to the cost, the reason of their popu-
larity is puzzle to all sensible, prac-
teal builders and householders." IN.
