WORLDS OLDEST ENGINE.
1t Was Constructed in England In
17.7 and Has Been In service
Until Recently.

The oldest engine in the world is in
the possession of the Birmingham
canal navigations, this engine having
been constructed by Boulton & Watt
in the year 1777, says London Engi-
neering. The order is entered In the
firms books in that year as single
acting beam engine, with chains al
each end of a wood beam, and having
the steam cylinder 81 inches in diam
eter, with a stroke of eight feet. and
erected at the canal co,npany's pump
ing station at Rolfe street, Smetk-
wick. During the present year U69S)
this remarkable old engine, which has
been regularly at work from the time
of its erection to the current year, a
to she canal cOmpany's station at
Ocker Hill, Upton, there to be re-
erected and preserved as a relic of
what can be done by good manage
ment when dealing with machinery of
undoubted quality. 1t is worthy o.
note that the birmingham canal navi-
cations favored Boulton g. Watt in 1771
with the order for this engine, and il
1898, or 100 years afterward, the con
pany has intrusted the same firm
James Watt & CO.. Soho, Smethwick
with the manufacture of two of theil
modern triple-e~Pansion vertical en-
gines, to be erected at the Walsal
pumping station, having 240 horse
power and pumping capacity of II,

PROSPERITY.

A mans condition depends almost
entirely upon himself. Lnck is but
a small factor to most men in attain
ing wealth. Industry, perseverance
and good judgment make the founda-
tion upon which man builds we'll.
The first start in life of many of our
great men has been upon farm. Op-
portunities are as good at present rs
they have been in the past. Fine
hardwood farming lands in Northern
Wisconsin adjacent to the Wisconsin
central Lines are still to be had at
very reasonable figures and on easy
terms. Build a home of your own
and be happy.
THE WONDERFUL DEPOSITS
of iron ore, clay, kaolin and mari, to-
gether with the large hardwood tim
ber tracts in Northern Wisconsin offer
extraordinary Inducements for the 10
cation of manufacturing plants. The
Wisconsin Central Lines run through
some of the richest localities in the
state and afford the manufacturer ex-
cellent facilities for reaching the mar
ket quickly and at reasonable rates.

The Patriotic Wife OF an Army Man
Reconsiders Her Former
Determination.

A touching little story is told of Mrs.
Waldeck. wife of Capt. William A. II.
Waldeck, of the Seventh United States
volunteer regiment of immunes. Capt.
Waldeck was for IS years with Hol-
lands army in the East Indies. Eight
years ago he was given leave of abb
ssnce by his government, and he spent
some of his play time in trip through
America. At Detroit he met Miss
Amelia Theresa Cousins, who subse-
quently became his wife. Before ac-
cepting him Miss Cousins made it q
condition of their marriage that he
should leave the army. He complied
with the condition and became an
American When the war with Spain
old profession of war and to serve his
adopted country became very strong,
and his wife did not oppose his wishes.
Mrs. Waldeck accompanied her hus-
band to Washington to procure hia
commission. On meeting Col. +. A.
Goodwin, of the Seventh volunteers,
there, she held his hand in both of hers,
and, looking earnestly at the colonel,
said: "Col. Goodwin, was the cause
of my husband leaving the regiment
in which he served IS years, and feel
that it is my iuty, now that my coun-
try is at war with Spain, to give him
back his promise and let him follow
his cid profession as a soldier. | only
hope that shall see him in life again"

EGGS NO HEN EVER SAW.
Factories in Europe Manufac tn q
Them Out of starch and
Other Things.

Much has been written of the arts
of adulteration, says an eminent an
alyst; but there is very little general
knowledge of the extent to which
foods are built up chemically, and sue
cessfully palmed off on customers as
material products.
1t will be a shock to many to learn
that millions of eggs which have been
bought and eaten as products of the
hen have no connection with that use
full fowl
There are factories in England and
on the continent where these "oviform
frauds" are produced at the rate OF
many thousands day, as simply and
yet mysteriously as so many sausages.
The yolk is first quickly fashioned by
machinery, from a mixture of maize,
starch and one or two other ingre-
dients. colored with ochre. The vel
low sphere is then placed in another
''bOX of mystery" when the white part
of the egg is added.
The resultant ball is frozen and
nodded into the requisite oval shape
again by machinery. 1t is then i'm
mersed in a third vat, which contains
plaster of paris, and energies with a
shell which quickly assumes all the
hardness and appearance of a genuine
eggshell.
The process of thawing quickly re
duces the contents of the shell to the
consistency of a new-laid egg, and the
artificial result is ready for the break
fast table, or any of the uses to which
eggs are put.
These eggs" can be profitably manu-,
tactured to sell at prices ranging from
four to twelve cents a dozen. and are
-etaiied at prices which yield nothine
up to 100 per cent. profit.

her lovers perfdy driven from her
mind, held the mildeyed woman by
the hand. thinking how easy it would
be to love her, Henry proceeded
speaking to the family:
Il think | have never told you my
mothers name. My father died. as
you know. when l was fifteen years
of age Three years later my mother
married again, married with Judge
Coryden of Swanport. At the end of
a year, however, the judge died. My
mother, of course, retains his name
but she seldom speaks of him; and
when old friends, who know not of
this second marriage, call her by the
old name, she never cOrrects them ..
In fact, most of her letters by post
come directed to Mrs. Kate Gilman y
Then he turned once more to jose
phine, who stood like one struggling
beneath the weight of terrible incu-
bus, and said to her, with merry
twinkle in his keen gray eyes:
80 now. my darling, you know my
sweet Kitty Coryden; and | think you
will not take it further amiss -"
Before he could speak further her
little white hand was clapped tightly
over his mouth, and she found strength
to whisper into his ear:
so! Harry! don't! don't If you
can love me still, say no more till we
are aloner
And when, later, they were alone
Josephine humbled herself complete
ly. She saw her glaring fault. 1t
was not that she had been hurt at
heart by what she had heard of her
lover; but 1t was this: That she had
not confidence enough in him to ask
him for an explanation. la short, she
would have sacrificed the happiness
of lifetime to the passion and the
prejudice of a moment.
Josephine is now happy wife,
with beautiful children laughing and
playing around ner; and from that
time-that miserable evening on
which she made the acquaintance of
sweet Kitty Coryden-she had not
for moment harbored the green eyed
monster IN her bosom. She enter
tanned the demon once, and she never,
never will entertain him again.
And that same sweet Kitty Cory
den is joy and q blessing in her
home; and if her children are better
and brighter and more healthy and
helpful than children of the same age
usually are, she feels it in her heart
hat she owes it all to the the firm,
yet gentle and loving, ministrations
of their grandmother-that same
grandmother of whom she was once
upon time so terribly jealous.

FORTY PER CENT. A MONTH.
A Man Who Borrowed s. In 1898 ana
Has Since Paid Back
SS4.99.

One of the most remarkable suits
recently brought in Chatham county,
Ga, is now pending before Justice j.
K. Saussy, Jr., of the Fourth militia
district. 1t is a suit for usury, the case
being one where negro borrowed
ST. .O6 from a loan broker in 1898, and
has since paid him SS499, and the
broker still claims a balance due of
SO.
The way in which this state of af-
fairs is brought about is remarkable
one, and yet simple, says the Savannah
News. 1t is done simply by charging
40 per cent. per month interest, or
thereabouts.
James Erwon borrowed $500 from
H. l.. Drake & Co. in 1895. AS matter
of fact, however, he received only five
dollars, the S1.O6 being charged for
drawing up the papers and negotiating
the loan. II was charged up against
the negro. however, with the original
amount borrowed.
Since he borrow ed the money Brown
has paid to the concern $S4.99, in
amounts ranging from so cents to two
dollars, and has every receipt given
him from these payments. Brown
got tired of paying in his money so
regularly, and it looked as if there
would never be an end of the thing.
This set him TO thinking, and he final
ly learned that there was such thing
in Georgia as a law against usury.
The Georgia law against usury, how
ever, permits the party aggrieved to
bring suit only within year from the
time the usury was charged and col
lected. Brown. therefore, can sue only
for the interest he has paid in during
the last year. lie got all of his receipts
together and statement of the ac
count was made. showing that he had
paid $3.50 usurious interest wit hin the
last year. and that is the amount he is
now suing for.

SLOW BURNING POWDER.
4 Description of the Brown Prismatic
Powder and the Way II Is
Loaded in Charges.

E. B. Rogers. of the United States
navy, contributes an article on Big
Guns and Armor of Our Navy" to the
August St. Nicholas. Mr.. Rogers says:
Black powder, with its glistening
grains, is untitled for our modern guns.

Immediately all its force. which, of
course, decreases when the shot moves
toward the muzzle, because the gas has
more room (that is. the inside of the
gum to expand in.
But nowadays what is called "slow
burning" powder is used. When it is
ignited the projectile first moves Stow

quently the pressure, is constantly in

A mass of it looks exactly like lot of

Doubling Priests Home.

Able Bourrien. of Narseilles, who
recently became an agnostic, has es-
tablished a sort of "a @oubting priests
home at Sevres. He wishes to prove
that priests do not always abandon
their calling to marry or live freely,
The daily routine is that of a religious
community. The aim of the institute
is to bridge over the period of discour-
agement through which the fallen
priest has to pass. The movement is
supported by funds from the French
Reformed Protestant consistories, but
the fullest freedom of conscience is al

MODERN FORTS.
Vastly Different from the Old Style
of FOrtiflca ation-Subterra-
mean StrOnghOIds.

The modern type of fortifications
contrasts strilingly with the massive
old stone works, excellent specimens
of which are Fort Monroe and Fort
Nadsworth, says Golfers Weekly. To
the eye of a novice Fort Monroe, the
largest of its type ill the country, Is
seemingly iInpregnable; up to the
close of the civil war it could be de-
Tended against fleet or army of any
size, but as small "a gun as the eight
inch rifle could lay it in ruins in very
short time. The old method of forti-
flying has been replaced by the en-
placement system of earth, stone and
concrete, except at points where the
topography of the coast line permits
the use of natural formations.
This IS the case at Portland, Me-,
where the rocky cliff has been utilized,
the batteries being at an elevation of
80 or 60 feet above tide water Here,
however, large amount of cSncrete
and stone work has been used to reen-
force the walls of rock. The walls of
the modern fortification are very
broad and gradually incline from the
summit to the base. They appear like
mounds of earth with an inner coat
ing of cement, but in their construc-
tion thousands of yards of broken
stone and concrete are used for a sin
gle emplatem"nt.
The modern fort is sconstructed more
below than above ground. the maga-
zines, quarters for artillerymen, ap-
paratus for elevatiug, sighting and
firing and other machinery being in
closed in water-tight easements often
II to Is feet below the surface. As the
sea coast guns of to-day can be dis
charged by electricity, if desired,
there is little need of exposure of the
men and most of the gun crew can re-
main under cover and out of danger
