PAPER MAKING MACHINES.
They Were Invented by Louis Rob-
ert, n Young Frenchman.

They Were Invented by Louis Rob-
ert, n Young Frenchmnn.
The inventor Of machinery for paper
making, as distinguished from mere
pulping machines, was Louis Robert,
clerk in the employment Of Messrs.
Didot of the Essonnes paper mills,
near Paris. In 1898 he completed a
small model for continuous web Of
paper on an endless wire cloth, to
which rotary motion was applied. Con-
tinuous length was thus secured,
though at first the width was only
that of an ordinary piece Of tape.
A machine soon followed producing
width Of twenty-four inches, for
which Robert had patent from the
French government and a reward OF
5000 francs. Messrs. Didot bought
this patent and the machines, and in
1901 induced a well known English
firm - Fourdrinniep to take it up.
Helped by a clever young mechanic
named Donkin Of hartford paper mills
they SO improved the machinery that
a Fourdrinnier machine is still the
practical equipment Of every paper
making establishment the world over.

william Redmond,s Answer.

William Redmond, NJ. p, once arose
to speak in the house Of commons, ac'
cording to the Boston Record, and
there came a question, hurled at him
from the Right side of the house:
"Will you vote for this bill If II
comes up?''
Mr.. Redmond looked from one side
of the house to the other and slowly
answered.:
II will''-
Immediately the right side of the
house burst into q storm Of applause
But Mr. Redmond continued, as soor
as he could be heard:

side, and as soon as it subsidized for @
moment he completed what he started

Unaired Beds.

There is story told of the eminent
DR.. Abernethy, who was as blunt as
he was learned. He was called to
prescribe for an old lady in failing
health, who prided herself upon being
and who looked the very pink of neat
ness Her dress was spotless and her
cap immaculate, and her friends spoke
of her as that "sweet old lady," After
much questioning, which was almost
impertinent, and careful diagnosis Of
the case the doctor said gruffly,
MADAM, you are ill because Of filth"
OF course she was Mortified, but he
went on, "Your bed is not properly
aired, and in consequence you are be-
ing slowly poisoned to DEATH"

FIRST PIANO MAKER.
Two Specimens of CristOfori's Worl
Still In Existence.

Two Specimens of CristOfOrfs WORK
still In Existence.
1t was a harpsichord maker, Cristo-
fori, in the employ of the Duke of Tus'
cany, who in iii made the first sue
cessful piano. AS curator of Ferdinand
de Medici he had a splendid collection
of Belgian, French and Italian instru-
ments to look after, and this undoubt-
eddy aided him, though the model was
so crude that the inventor could never
have dreamed q monument would ever
be erected in his memory. There are
only two grand pianofortes Of Cristo-
fori in existence.
One decorated in gold and Chinese
figures is in Florence, and the other is
in the CrosbyBrown collection in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. Three
documents attest the authenticity of
this last instrument, which was pur-
chased from Signor Diego Martelli.
From this feeble beginning long list
of names could be mentioned of men
who helped perfect the piano. But fac
tories alone could never have achieved
without royalty to encourage and vir-
tuosos to play. Frederick the Great or
dered five pianos for his palace, where
they can be seen at the present day.
Marie Antoinette was patron of the
art, and Clement in England and Mo-
Fart in Germany introduced the instru-
ments, so it became part of life. 1t
was in Pleyel's concert room that Cho-
pin played, and our later firms have
brought out long list of artists-Jo-
seffy, Paderewski and others.-House-

TOY GARDENING.
1t Is Of All Sorts the Most Pitiful and
Ridiculous.


Ous counsel is to avoid all mimicry
In gardening as we would avoid it in
speech or in gait. Sometimes we dc
not mind being repetitious. "In gar.
dening," we say, almost the only
thing which costs unduly-in money or
in mortifcation-is for one to try to
give himself somebody else's garden!'
One Of the reasons we give against IL
is that it leads to toy gaXtlening, and
toy gardening is of all sorts the most
pitiful and ridiculous. mo true art"
we say, "can tolerate any make be-
lieve which is not in some way finer
than the reality it Stimulates. In other
words, imitation should always be in
the nature of an amiable condescen-
sion. Whatever falseness, pretension
or even mere frailty or smallness sug.
gests to the eye, the Intellectually Of a
toy is out of place in any sort Of gar
dening." We do not actually speak all
this, but we imply it, and we often find
that the mere utterance of the words
"toy gardening" has q magical effect
to suggest all the rest and to over
whelm with contrition the bad taste
and frivolity Of many a misguided at
tempt at adornment. At that word of
exorcism joints of cerulean sewer pipe
crested with scarlet geraniums, rows
of white cobbles along the walk or
drive like q cannibaPs skulls around
his hut, purple paint kegs of petunias
on the scanty doorsteps, crimson wash
kettles of verbenas, anthill rockeries
and well sweeps and curbs where no
wells are, go modestly and forever into
oblivion.-G. w. Cable in Scribner's.

The HeIvetian, Ladies.

The most celebpated warlixe women
among the ancients, apart from the
tabled amazons, were the Helvetian
ladies. Caesar praises highly their
military achievements. In more than
one instance the legions Of Rome turn
ed their backs on the fair ones of Swift
Eerland. During the crusades women
often performed the most romantic and
thivalrous deeds, dying cheerfully by
the sides Of their lovers and husbands.

FARMERS READING COURSES
A Valuable Feature of Literary
Work In the Grange.

Work In the Grange.
Teaching by means Of correspondence
has now come to be an established
method of reaching the people. 1t is
now recognized that not every one is
going to college or to special schools,
and yet every one should be taught in
the things with which he lives. Cor
respondence schools" are now estab-
llshed in various lines. These schools
are in no sense competitors with the
ordinary schools, but are supplement
tary to them, extending their influence.
A closely related enterprise is the
reading course, and this is now adapted
to many lines of work. One of its most
recent developments Is in the line Of
agriculture, and this work is specially
adapted to farmers, since so few Of
them can go to an agricultural college.
The rural mail delivery is making these
courses workable. The largest of the
farmers reading course enterprises is
in New York state, where there are two
such courses emanating from the col
lege Of agriculture at Cornell univer-
sity and maintained by the state-one
for farmers and one for farmers wives.
Each of these numbers several thousand
readers. 1t is not the primary purpose
of these courses to set the readers at
books, for those who are confirmed in
the habit of reading books are able to
help themselves. Therefore simple be-
ginners' lessons are prepared and sent
free to farmers and their families in the
state. With the lessons are sent ques-
tons for the reader to answer and cor
respondence is then maintained with
the reader on the points Of difference
between reader and instructor. Farm
ers often organize themselves into read
ing clubs, and the grange affords one
Of the most favorable opportunities for
pursuing these courses. In the New
York farmers reading course are les
sons on soil, fertilizing, stock feeding,
poultry houses, orcharding. In the
farmers wives course are lessons on
saving steps, home sanitation, the home
garden, practical housekeeping, food
for the family, furnishing and reading
for the farm home.

THE JUVENILE GRANGE.
Organized In 1883, It's Growth Has
Been Slow.

The idea of training the boys and
girls of the farm home for future use
fulness by the organization of juvenile
oranges originated in Texas in the
year 1885, when the first young peo-
pies grange was organized. A resolu-
ton directing the executive committee
to prepare a suitable ritual was passed
at the session of the national grange
in Sacramento, Cal, in 1888. Jonathan
]. Woodman, =. NJ, of the national
grange drew up the present ritual,
which was adopted at Atlanta, Ga, in
1880 Since that the work had prac-
tically died out, to be revived again
during the last few years in New Eng
land and Michigan.
At the recent meeting of the national
grange in Rochester it was voted to
procure the requisite regalia and work
ing tools for comforting the Juvenile de-
gree.
Any child whose parents are men,
bers of the Order is eligible to men,
bership in the juvenile grange. He
must be eight years Of age and under
fourteen for at the latter age he may
become q member of the subordinate
grange.
In strictly rural communities, where
there is less to occupy the young in
social way than in villages, the ju-
venile grange seems to flourish best. 1t
gives young people most valuable
mental and social training at an age
when impressions are most easily made
and prepares them for membership in
the subordinate grange when they ar
rive at the proper age. 1t cultivates
the polite graces. 1t gives self conf
dence. 1t inculcates truth and moral
ity. The oranges should not lose this
grand opportunity for molding the
lives of farmers boys and girls and in
sitting early the excellent principles
Of our benefcent Order.

cry IN Machinery Hall IN operation.
Strictly speaking this was all that was
accomplished by the presidential touch on
the button at Washington Operators here
were waiting for the response from the
White House and as quickly as 1t came
they touched the keys which released the
fastenings of the thousands of banners
that were secured to the stats on the roofs
of all the large exhibit palaces. This por-
ton Of the work, as far as could be seen
from any one section of the grounds, was
perfect. Every banner apparently caught
the same breath of air and they unfurled
and foated out as one. At the far end of
the lagoon from the Louisiana monument
was the place for the cascades. This por-
ton of the ceremonies had greater interest
for the people than apparently any other
feature of the opening. Hundreds of thou
sands of eyes were focused on the three
white inclines that extend from the colon
made of states to the lagoon basin. The
first CLINT of white foam at the summit of
the inclines was greeted with tremendous
cheer which deepened the great flood
