A most ingeniously contrived machine
for engraving on glass, insuring the rap.
id and economic production of decora-
tive work in that line, as also in metal
manufactures Of every variety, is de-
scribed in The English Mechanic.
Among the merits claimed for this de-
vice is the fact of there being no limit
to the number of objects that may be
operated upon simultaneously, with a
perfect uniformity Of workmanship, and
further, the facility with which this
machine, being of IL multiplying pow
er, can be operated upon and replaced
with fresh objects, is another important
characteristic, and three different pat
terms may be produced in n hour on
a single machine. The construction OF
this apparatus fulflls the desideratum
of great simplicity, it would appear;
that is, the globes, or whatever is to be
engraved, are fixed Oh platforms in two
upright cylindrical forms, these plat
forms being raised or lowered as desired
by means of a handle, and tho engrav-
ing needles are applied or let off by a
touch of the treadle-the pattern to be
followed resting on a board at the back.

The samoah Mascot. /,

In time Of war it is the tapo's duty
to lead on to combat the warriors of her
village, and she is often in the thick OF
the skirmishing, but should she be
wounded or killed it is q pure accident,
as the Samoans have the greatest horror
Of hurting a woman in any way and
would not even injure their enemy's
tapo. There is a story told Of how, dur
ing the wal which was carried on in
Upolu for a considerable time, five or
six years ago, two armies had met and
were drawn up, blazing into each 9TH
er's lines, when a native woman ap-
peared with a COW she wished to place
in safety. The entire firing was imme-
diately suspended ON both sides till she
and her charge had crossed the lines
and were completely out Of harms way.
The women could rely 80 thoroughly
on the gallantry Of their countrymen
that they had no fear during the fight
ing, and would take food to their hus-
bands and brothers at any time, and pass
through the ranks Of the warriors Of the
belligerent army with perfect IMMUNITY;
as long as the daylight lasted and they
could be easily seen they were quite
safe. TN Stevenson's Samoa" Marie

wbere Franklin Flew His kite.

Colonel Enoch Taylor Of this city,
speaking of the researches Of the sa-
wants into the vagaries of lightning, re-
marked that probably there were few
people who ever gave a thought when
they crossed Spring Garden street in
the vicinity Of Thirteenth street that
they were walking over the spot where
Benjamin Franklin flew his kite. Yet
such is the fact. A diagonal line from
the southeast corner of what is now
known as Thirteenth street to Spring
Garden will about cover the space in
which Poor Richard" drew lightning
from the clouds. 1t was a bare field
then, with a few farms and country
houses scattered around. Bostonians
fondly imagine that it was on Boston
Common franklin conducted his expert
ments. That's a mistake. 1t was in the
Quaker City and on the spot referred to.

Daudet.

M. Daudet, the eminent French au-
thor, was for a long time an usher in o
second rate school on a p~ittance which
scarcely suficed to keep body and soul
together. After a time he grew sick of
this hard and unremunerative kind OF
work, and then made his way to Paris,
where he arrived with only a capital OF
two shillings and a bundle of poems.
He was fortunate enough to find a pub
Usher for the latter almost at once, and
it was not very long before he obtained
journalistic employment. which kept
him going until he found novel writing
sufficiently lucrative to provide him
with a living. Now he can command
almost any price he likes to ask for his
books and articles, and must be . very

There will be many fatted calves

Gone West,

Last Tuesday A. G. Boland left
via Hill City over the B. & M. for
Mont tana and British Columbia to
look over the country with view
to locating permanently.
1t is with feeling of regret that
we chronicle the departure of Abe, -
who has been so actively connected
with the business interests of Rapid
City ever since it's foundation away
back in the seventies. No man ev-
er lived among us who put forth
more energy or spent his money
more willingly for the upbuilding of
the town and country than he. In
connection with other parties he
built the first brick block in Rapid
City, and has since built others that
wit stand as monuments to his push
and energy long after he is gone.
In political circles he has been an
active factor and has served honor
ably both on our county board and
in the state sena e. He was always
a republican until his party sought
to deliver the American into the
hands Of the money power in 1896,
when he displayed the manhood of IA
true citizen and refused to knuckle

The Girl Agitator.

Quite a furore has been created in
Indianapolis by a young woman named
Belle Pierson Springer, who recently
took her pen in hand and welded it in
the following fashion:
Girls, just look at this, if you do not
think you should give the economic
conditions some thought: The average
wages per day paid an American work.
ingman outside the trades union is $1.25
per day; the average number of days
work per year for laboring men either
in or out of trades unions is steadily
decreasing. Every year it becomes
more and more impossible for the aver
age man to marry the woman of his
choice by reason of his financial stand
this woman's father or brother to sup
port her, and she enters the army of
work seekers, thereby decreasing the
chances of both her lover and her faith
er for job. 1t used to be the hue and
cry that there were so few avenues
open to women; now they are forced in
to them to the exclusion of men because
they will work cheaper, but it is doubt
full if they are greatly benefited.
Belle Pierson Springer is young
woman to whom we hasten to doff our
hat She utters sound logic, and evil
IDENTIFY proposes to expose the objec-
tionable features of the prevailing new
woman" humbuggery. The only ''new
woman" who is worthy of attention is
the one who takes an interest in the
welfare of her sisters despite the great
disadvantages under which she labors
Every woman engaged in labor and re-
form work is more or less of a heroine,
and is a thousand times more useful to
society than the dawdling social swels
whose mushy and gushy behavior gags
men of common sense. The sterner
sex should be more thoughtful than to
uphold system that forces women and
children into workshops and factories.
They ought to know that they are hurt
ing themselves. We hope the number
of women agitators will increase

A POPULIST CITY.
1t VIII Levy No Taxes After the First
of the Year.

1t Will Levy No Taxes After the First
of the Year.
Glasgow will levy no taxes after
January 1, 1897. The revenues derived
from the public utilities, owned by the
city, including the street car service,
the gas and electric light service, the
water supply and other public monopo
lies are now sufficient to pay all ex-
penses Of the city government. The
most surprising part of the whole mat.
ter is the fact that this remarkable
achievement has been accomplished
with an immense reduction in the cost
of service to the public.
Glasgow ia a city of about twice the
size of San Francisco, it's population be-
ing $4,000. In 1901 it was only $1,000.
It has made a larger growth than any
other European city since that date.
Its great university over 400 years old,
is famous the world over. Its public
libraries, museum and technical
schools are the pride Of the city. The
general intelligence of this great uni
versity town is unequalled in Europe.
Its sanitary condition is Of the first
class. 1t ranks next to London in size
among the cities of Great Britain. In
a word. it is the model city of to-day.
The leading source of municipal rev.
enue in Glasgow is the street railway
system, and although the city bought
the street car service less than three
years ago, July l, 1894, and interest on
the debt and provision for a sinking
fund made, after meeting these fixed
charges and the cost of repair and
maintenance there was balance at the
close of the year past, July 1, 1896, of
$403,014. The fare is one cent for half
mile rides, and the average fare for the
sc, 6,462,O0O passengers carried during the
year is less than LIS cents. The cost of
water and gas service has likewise been

Glasgow is Populist city. Municipal

and referendum, otherwise known as
