COMPUTING soAlEs.

Mr.. N. A. Dees, whose business head.
quarters are in st. Louis, No, was here
last week with full-sised model Of his
computing scales, and from expressed
opinion OF our merchants, We are safe IN
saying that he has by far the most com.
plste scale ever invented. As Mr.. Dees
has not yet secured his patents in for
eign countries, he does not wish . print
cd description Of his scale, because he
says 1t would prevent patents from be-
ing obtained in some countries; but we
are permitted to state some Of the many
answers that are automatically given.
The computations are entirely auto
matte, and are the results Of the same
effort or action which manipulates the
pea while Weighing, requiring no other
effort or even attention Of the operator.
Tho operator (grocery clerk,) simply
weighs the goods, the scales doing the
computations.
These scales gives the values Of any
weight up to 2S5 pounds, and at any price
from u Of . cent up to 80 cents per pound.
It also readily, and st once, gives the
value Of all articles sold by the bushel OF
50, ~, IS and 90 pounds to the bushsl, and
in any weight up to 400 pounds. Also
gives the amount Of "fraction OF
dollars worth" whore goods are sold 81
80 many pounds to the dollar, or at %
much per dozen or so much per hundred
pounds. In fact, Mr.. Dees claims to
answer any and all questions that can
be asked in . grocery store a. to weight
and values. He did not visit here seek
ing orders, ~ 1t will bs two or thres
months before he has any for sale, but
came to request oil merchants to suggest
any defects In his scale, or propound
come question in weights and values
which his scale can't answer.

Goats are great leaders and even
protectors Of sheep and are often. used
for this purpose on the ranges of New
Mexico. A shepherd OF Valencia coun-
ty. who happened to be away from
the home camp, had the misfortune of
losing his dog through the attack of
a mountain lion and to break his leg
on the same day. Had the dog been
alive he could have sent II to the
home range to summon assistance. AS
IL was. he had TO see the sheep wan
der away while he dragged himself
10 the place where his provisions we're
stored and waited for such help az
chance might bring. Five days later
the sheep, led by some corporal goats,
appeared at the home ranch, eighty
miles away. They had crossed two
mountain ranges by path OF their
own finding, and out of a flock Of / 900
sheep only seven were missing There
was, Of course. much good luck In
this. for a dash OF timber wolves
among them would not only have
meant the killing Of many sheep on
the spot, but would have scattered the
rest OF the flock far and wide The
marvel WAS the intelligence OF the
goats returning by an unfamiliar path
70 the place where they had been
bred. and the implicit faith Of the
sheep In their leadership. The arrival

Quoted without a fresh start, and a
fresh start was Impossible except at
a lower level and with new blood.
There is plenty of money seeking in
Yestment but not at top prices: those
who have large sums to invest and
whose operations must be depended
upon for a successful bull movement
are not likely TO buy at the end of a
rise.
one important feature which is not
satisfactory is the occasional declines
in exports, which we have repeatedly
referred to. The decline in exports of
manufactures is especially regretta-
BILE, and seems likely to continue; for
Europe is not in a condition to buy
anything with freedom except food
products which short crops abroad
compel her to purchase.
The monetary situation at the mo-
ment is unfavorable, high rates SEEM
ing probable until after preparations
for January disbursements, which will
be exceedingly heavy. Bank reserves
are at a very low ebb and some sharp
contraction of loans will be necessary
to maintain the surplus above legal
requirements. Gold exports at this
time are unusual and of course exert
auNunfavorable effect, being additional
proof of the changes going on in our
international trade and financial re-
tations. As iargp sums nave been
withdrawn for underwriting purposes

The sweet pomegranate. where is
perfection, possesses a fresh crispness,
delicacy and sprightliness OF flavor all
most unrivaled among fruit, and con-
sidered a great luxury by all who OBJ
tain it; but with US, unfortunately, the
season Is very short, and the fruit
quite perishable. In Rhind's Vegeta-
Bile Kingdom we are told that the ripe
fruit OF the pomegranate is in great
abundance in August at Aleppo. and
that it is then laid up for the winter
stock" l must remark here that, so
far as know, this art OF keeping the
ripe pomegranate considerable
length Of time does not seem to be
known among us, though such knowl-
edge is very desirable.
In Syria the sweet pomegranate is
cut open, the seed taken out stewed
with sugar sprinkled with rose water
and served. An infusion of the crush
ed seed in cool, sweetened water, Is Of
ten in the sick room, and a very deli
cate wine was extracted from this
fruit by the ancient Jews, as may be
inferred from the words "Grath Rim
mon" signifying the press Of pome-
granates
The pulp enveloped seeds are often
used in the manufacture Of jellies. pre-
serves and syrups the rind OF the
fruit is used I'm medicine as a tonic
and as an astringent; the bark of the
tree produces the dye, which imparts
it's peculiar color to the morocco leath-
err OF commerce. The pomegranate thus
combines the milecum dulce in a very
great degree, and has no rival, what
soeVer, as an ornament and decorative
plant
