then he remembered that his calf was
blaze-faced, and exclaimed '.well have

no canine survivor remained upon the
field. The calf was not killed, but its
organs OF vision. were rendered exceed

looking for a pair of glass calf's eyes
But the result is quiet neigAborhood.

Latest in Flying Machines.

Leonard E. Clawson and Adam Beck,
two business men of San Francisco,
CAL, believe they have solved the
problem of aerial navigation. They
have just made application for patents
on their device. Their machine, now
in process of construction, consists
essentially of four rods, each twenty
feet long, parallel to each other, work.
ing on ball bearings in a well braced
framework supporting the motive
power and steering apparatus below.
On each of these rods are a series of
double wings constructed OF a steel
wire framework, over which silk is
stretched. These are so arranged IN
relation to each other that when one
wing is rising open, the other is de-
scending closed thus half the wings
are at every instant pressing down
ward while the other half are rising,
but not pressing upward. Should the
motive power fail for any reason the
entire wing surface instantly forms a
parachute.
A machine twenty feet long and with
a bearing surface six feet wide, it is
believed, can be made to raise a weight
of 600 pounds, one occupant alone
supplying the power. New York Ad-

IL MagniileS OdOrs.

Among the latest inventions, saws
the st. Louis Republic, is a machine
which will take liquid that has here
fore been regarded as odorless and
distil the most delicate perfume. A
drop of perfumery or essence placed
on the receiver will, on applying the
nostril to the nosepiece or opening,
produce an overpowering stencil that
would in a very short time, if con-
tinued, cause symptoms OF suffocation.
The instrument can be utilized in
nearly every walk of life. To the
grocer it will prove invaluable in de-
tecting adulterations OF goods. The
chemist, druggist and physician, of
course, can find ready use for it in
their business, while it has been sug-
gested that bank paper can be tine
tured with special odor, impercepti-
BILE to the ordinary sense of smell, but
which could readily be detected by the
scentograph, thus greatly lessening the
liability of banks to fraudulent opera
tors. 1t is also claimed for the
machine that it will become popular
in the homes of the wealthy, for by
the aid of its mechanism the atmos.
phere of large mansion con be kept
constantly permeated with most del
icate and choice perfume at a nominal
expense. For hospital and sick rooms
its service will prove inestimable The
machine itself is small affair, about
twelve inches square and eight inches
high. 1t is made of wood, and the
opening where the nostrIls are applied
Is nickel plated.

Ambassador Uhl, at Berlin, sends
some German commercial notes to the
State Department which show how eff
fectively the Empire is reaching out
for foreign trade all over the world
which has hitherto belonged to. other
nations. II appears that Germany is
second only to the United States now
in Guatemala and Nicaragua, and last
year took more than half the latter's
coffee export. Having ended her GUS
toms war with Spain, Germany is now
getting a good share of Porto Rican
trade, but is still debarred from Cuba
by the insurrection. In South Africa
and South America the same success
is met, but the most successful effort
is that being made in Japan, where
Germany has already reached second
place, while the United States is
fourth.

Each Of the others being, and no heed.
And these DER unknown seas to unknown

Ane all unconsclously shape every act
Aud bend each wandering step to this ono

That one day out of darkness they shall

And read lite's meaning in each others eyes
And two shall walk some narrow way OF life.
SO nearly side by side that should one turn
Ever so little space to left or right,
They needs must stand acknowledged face

And yet with wlshful eyes that never meet,
With cropping hands that never clasp, and

Calling in vain to ears that mover henr,
They seek each other all their weary days.
Aud die unsatisned; and this is Fate.

AS the train neared Davisville ex.
pectation woke on every face. Tom
felt pleasant thrill at the prospect of
trouble when they reached the
station. As they swung around a
curve they could see bay horse and
a blackboard tied to a post behind the
depot. Hes there |" Hink cried.
Let me go out ahead of you, Hink, ="
Tom said as the train stopped with a
final jar.
The other passengers fled out and
grouped themselves where they could
see what happened. Mnry's brother
came up close to the car steps, his
forehead was drawn into deep creases
and he held his whip In his fist. Tom
came out, closely followed by Hink
and his wife.
The brother took a better hold OF
his whip. "You young houndi" he
cried.
Tom smiled as if he thought this
was for him. He waved his hand
toward the young couple, "Mr. Durfey

"You lie, and I'll horsewhip you,
too" the man shouted, brandishing
his whip.
"No, don't" Tom retortod. "They
were married on this train. Ask any
of these people," He indicated the
passengers.
Squire Phinney stepped forward.
81 married 'em," he said, with
chuokle, "while you was jogging along

Durfey stepped back. "Well, 1

said, suddenly. ''Mary, are you go.
ing back to see your mother before
you go West2"
'Yes, men Hink are going back on

Durfey turned away with grunt.
Squire Phinuey felt that he had
played strong part and thought to
round out the whole by joke of his
own manufacture. "Good horse OF
yours" he called, "you ought-a train

love.
swell, young man, there's more'n
one way OF winning race" the
squire retorted, in triumphant look
of repartee.
The passengers laughed at his sally,
and then dispersed. Hink and Mary
went back into the car, deserted now
save for the conductor, counting his
change on the front seat.
They went to Iowa the next week
