LATE NEW INVENTIONS.

With the use of a new wash boiler

hard, the dirt being largely removed
by the action OF the water in the boiler.
a series OF pipes extending down
through the boiler into the stove to
force the water out onto the clothes
as 1t becomes heated.
Clothes-pins are now being manu-
featured which have the opening to
grip the line placed in the side of the
pin istead OF in the end, so that the
pin can be attached to the line by pull
ing down instead of pushing, the jaw
on one side being elongated so as to
be grasped by the hand
Medicine which tastes bad can be
easily taken by means of newly de-
vised glass, which has a partition in
the center to separate the medicine
from a liquid to wash 1t down, the
partition preventing the two from mix
ing and allowing the wash to low
out by tipping the glass higher NJ.
A new portable saving machine for

crank on the other end of the shaft.

the orders of His Majesty King Oscar
/. and the Emperors Alexander /. and
Nicholas l., and by uninterrupted la
bors from 1916 to 1852, was measured

When the present arc was completed
it was celebrated as the conclusion of
the greatest undertaking of the sort
ever carried to completion. Therefore
how much greater is the present plan,
for 1t cortemplates the measurement of
an arc of los degrees.
The probabilities are that the carry
ing out of the latest plan viii not take
nearly century and a half. The
knowledge which is already ours will
accelerate action.

A Gum anme In Ohio.

The latest advertising fake" to
strike this city, says the Ashtabula,
Ohio. News, is the chewing gum game.
The makers of this gum put coupon
bearing one letter of the alphabet In
each scent package of the gum, and
advertise that as soon as any one gets
the letters that make certain words
they will give him present of watch,
bicycle or something of that kind. L.
III. Smith, the teamster for Messrs.
Richards Bros, wholesale grocers, is
the first lucky purchaser of this kind OF
gum so far, for he has succeeded In ac-
curing the letters that make the words
that entitled him to any 500 bicycle
in the market. He has more than
enough of the letter IS" to win the BIZ
cycle, and IL he had one TX" would be
entitled to $500 worth of diamonds. So
intense is the interest manifested by
some of the gum chewers that one of
the trolley car conductors is said tohave
offered $25 for the letter wv" which
he needs to complete the words neccs-
sary to win a prize. TIL VS., DIS end
els seem to be the scarce letters.

A Clever SwindIe.

A clever swindle,. whereby an out
of-town jewelry firm lost gold watch
valued at $500, was revealed by a
member of the firm to some of his
friends in this city the other day. A
well-dressed man called at the store,
and, after much celebrating, chose a
watch and gave his check for $500 in
payment for it. 81 want you to have
the watch regulated" he said to the
clerk, $50 I can get 1t tomorrow after
noon. In the meantime you can ascer-
tain whether the check is good" The
next afternoon he called and was in
formed that the check had been re-
turned from the bank on which 1t was
drawn with "No funds" stamped on
It. He looked surprised and asked to
see 1t. "Why, what mistake / made, -
he said when he saw the check. "Of
course IL was no good. carry num-
Der of loose checks In my pocket to
cblige my friends and used the wrong
one. Here, will draw one on a bank
have deposit in and will wait here
while some one goes to the bank"
This was satisfactory and the man sat
down to wait After several minutes
he jumped up and said: "Oh. what's
the use of waiting here all this time?
I'll just pay cash for the watch. Get
my check back" In the meantime the
check had been taken to the Office of
the firm and Endorsed TO be cashed.
The messenger was called back and
the check returned to the man, who
lhereupon left with the watch. Ashort

Spain, so long mistress of the seas,
and the pioneer of national advance
ment, has become degenerate and a
fast waning power. It's industries are
suffering from lassitude Of the most
pronounced order, and threaten to be
swamped in the serious competition to
which they were subjected by more
energetic countries. Spanish agricul-
ture is not excepted from this general
decline. Up to the present day moth
ing in the shape of farming machinery
has been introduced, all farm work be-
ing still carried on by manual labor
Such state of affairs could only re-
suit, as II has done, in sort of ma
tIonal bankruptcy. But the example
people has led to a sort of revival Of
the ancient spirit of rivalry which
dominated the Spanish race some hun
dreds of years ago. The revival is as
yet but in spirit, which, although near
ly crushed with the weight of impover-
ishment. now seems to aspire to better
things. The agricultural condition o..
the country has indeed become so de-
pressed that the government has had
to look the matter seriously in the face.
In the estimate of 1867 the sum of
Es40, 900 has been voted for the relief
of the agricultural industry, and for
immediate use. The form in which it
is to be given is to grant temporary
freedom from succession duties, and
on the transfer Of property. All cat
tie, implements, plants, seeds, ETC.,
imported from other countries, for the
Improvement Of agriculture, are to
come in duty free. Cheap money for
farmers" is to be provided for, by en-
couraging and promoting facilities to
companies for obtaining loans for agri-
cultural purposes, presumably on a
combined or cooperative mortgage on
the farms of the members. AS most
of the farms are already mortgaged,
the government will accept a second
mortgage to meet the case. The Span
ish agricultural department will also
purchase certain plants and seeds,
which will be distributed to the best
advantage.

General Greedy. the Arctic explorer,
has lately lost a finger. The imme-
date cause of the amputation was too
much hand shaking, which brought
back an old disease Of the finger
bones; and that was due to
frost bite. SO those OF us who never
went to the Arctic regions may still
snake hands without danger of losing
our fingers. Nevertheless, many a pub
lie man must wish that the Oriental
fashion prevailed of shaking ones own
hand, rather than of submitting A. to
the repeated squeezing OF crowd Of

ly all wrong when it is crooked.
There are a number of light fingered

whose ways, like those of the heather
Chinee, are peculiar. Five kings and
six jacks to a pack to fleece the guileless
railroad man who thinks he knows
poker, but whom the tin horns know to
be worse than a novice, is almost too
much for a man to stand. The citizen
who INDUCES in the festive and costly
"draw" with these bunko men is worse
than gold -brieked. A number OF COM
plants have been made and the crooked
sports had better float before they are
gathered in and introduced to our COM

tie hint but if it is not observed right
speedily the papers will be filed and the

twelve good men and true to each grist.
