ANOTHER AID TO FARMERS.
A recent invention provides a needed
and efficient farming implement.
1t is potato digger constructed after
the style of plow. The blade or share
enters the ground, and guided by the
operator throws the earth and potatoes
upon separator. The separator is
made up of number of bars, forming
a se1ve through which the earth drops.
leaving the potatoes, which are crowded
or the end Of the seive, and fall upon
the ground
While the invention does not gather
the potatoes, it saves an immense
amount Of labor.

WASHINGTON IN THE MINUET.
The Stately President Danced at
the First inaugural Ball.

Mrs. Burton Harrison shows, in an
article on With Washington in the
Minuet," that the father of his coun-
try was fond of dancing, not giving
up the pastime until some time after
he had retired to private life De-
scrlDlng the first inaugural ball at New
York, in May, 1879, Mrs Harrison pic
lures the suspense awaiting Washing
toms selection of a partner for the min
uet, each belle earnestly hoping that
the honor should come to her The
chief, however, made his choice without
a seconds hesitation, and appeared
leading up to the disk of shining par
quetry, sweet and ingenious young
matron-the bride of year, Mrs. Max
we'll, born a Van Zandt, daughter of
Jacobus Van Zandt, Chairman of the
so-called Revolutionary Committee of
Patriots in New York. And now, I'M
der the gaze of dowagers and bellies,
envious in spite of themselves of young
Mistress Maxwell's luck, Washington,
laying his right hand on his heart, ex-
ecutes a profound bow to his partner,
she blushing like very rose of spring.
Mrs. Maxwell, in return, dips low till
satin skirts form a portentous cheese;
little gloved hand in the capacious one
of the chief, who. raising it above her
head. takes the first steps in the prim
but graceful old dance From long
practice and through the continual use
of his muscles, the hero's great frame
is surprisingly plant in the repeated
bows and changes of posture demanded
by the minuet. His feet retain some
thing of the arch of youth as he directs
them with precision through the figures
that allow no deviation of a dancers
fancy, but must be carried out to the
end like a mathematical problem in
order to insure success. A murmur
of applause runs around the circle of
elegant females who follow him rath-
er than his partner, in the slow wind
ings and steppings of this intricate evo-
luton"

Mr. Senator White pays the people Cl
california the poorest of compliments
when he declares, as he did IN tne
Senate on Tuesday, that the sugar ~
terests. combines and manipulators are
back of annexation. He insults the
intelligence of Californians, every one
of whom knows that the sugar interests
ara aghting annexation of Hawaii, that
the organ Of the sugar kings on this
coast is the persistent, able ana hys-
terical opponent Of annexation. MOI
long ago our own desk was Hooded
with circulars, letters and pamphlets
from the sugar trust headquarters, SUI
gar manipulators and capitalists, ufg-
ing this paper to take a position against
annexation, and setting forth a long
catalogue of reasons why the islands
should not be annexed. Yet in the
face of facts so patent as to blister Inc
sight. Senator White from his place
on the floor of the Senate exclaims:
The whole scheme for the anneXa-
ton of Hawaii is based on sentimental
ity and sugar. The sugar people who
were netting eight or nine millions a
year under the reciprocity treaty We're
back of the annexation project, with
the hope of making the benefits now
derived from reciprocity perpetual. II
II were not, he said, for this condition
Of affairs the treaty would never nave
been heard Of, and, hence, he charged
that the patriotism of Senators was
being imposed upon to consummate a
most disgraceful proposition.
Does Mr.. White take the people to be
fools? He ought to know that they
are capable of distinguishing the wolf
skulking beneath the pelt Of the lamb.
This shout about the sugar interests
being favorable TO annexation is a mere
pretext, an attempted blind. As we
said in the outset, 1t is poor compii-
ment TO intelligence to assume that any
one with a thimble full of brains cam
not see through the thin device.

TRAINING OF rIREMEN.
All Are Athletes and No towards
Get Into the Department.

FiremeR are athletes as matter of
course. They have to be, or they could
not hold their places for a week. even
If they could get into them at all. the
mere handling of the scaling ladders,
Wmch, nSht though they seem, weigh
from sixteen to forty pounds, requires
unusual strength. No particular skill
is needed A man need only have steady
nerve. and the strength to raise the
long pole by its narrow end and jam
the iron hook through a window which
he cannot see but knows is there. Once
through, the teeth in the hook and the
mans weight upon the ladder hold it
safe, and there is no real danger unless
he loses his head. Against that posi-
biiity the severe drill in the school Of
instruction is the barrier Any one to
whom climbing at dizzy nights, or do
ing the hundred and one things of peril
to ordinary men which firemen are con-
stantly called upon to do, causes The
least discomfort, is rejected as unfit
About per cent of all appointees are
eliminated by the ladder test, and never
get beyond their probate service A
certain smaller percentage takes itself
out through loss of nerve" generally
iS hist eApeIieHce OF room 1ui1 OF
smotherng smoke, with the fire roar
ing overhead, is generally sufficient to
convince the timid that the service fs
not for him. No towards are dismissed
from the department. for the reason
that none get into it.
The notion that there is a life saving
corps apart from the general body Of
lremen rests upon mistake. They are
one. Every fireman nowadays must
pass muster at life saving drill, must
climb to the top of any building on his
scaling ladder, slide down with a res
cued con,rade, or jump without hesita-
ton from the third story into the life
net spread below BY such training the
men are fitted for their work. and the
occasion comes soon that puts them to
the test. 1t came to Daniel J. Meaghar
foreman of Hook and Ladder Company
No. 3, when in the midnight hour n
woman hung from the fifth story VIM
dow of burning building and the
longest ladder at hand fell short ten or
dozen feet of reaching her The bold
est man in the crew vainiy attempted
to reach her, and in the effort had
sprained his foot. There were no seal
ing ladders then Meagher ordered the
rest to plant the ladder on the STOOD
and hold it out from the building so
that ne might reach the very topmost
step. Balanced thus where the slight
est tremor might have caused ladder
and all to crash to the ground he bade
the woman drop. and receiving her in
his arms, carried her down safe.-Cen-

that the possibility of furnishing ROAD

are clearly advanced as justifying the

Choate of Minnesota, who says:
The plan solves two important but
entirely distinct problems when nave

plan solves is the one of government AID
