WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young Americans with Genius for
 Invention.

A young man who at 21 had been be- fore the mast, had worked in the chemical department of mill and had lectured upon nitrous-oxide gas throughout the country patented the rotating chamber for pistol. It was not considered particularly valuable un- til after his first company that made it had failed and fights in Texas and with the SeminOles in Florida proved its worth. The Mexican war made a de- mand for it.
 The same mechanic, says the Worlds Work, who did so much for early ax-making developed details in revolver-making. The American plan of not hesitating at the cost of new appliances was never better shown than in this big armory. The owner was probably the first man to suggest the mining of harbors with torpedoes for defense, and he was the first to lay submarine electric cable. One day a young man from Vermont came to his works.
 What can you do?" asked the su- perintendent.
 'I'm machinist, toolmaker and a diesinker and can play a horn in a band" was the reply.
 He went to work the next day. A few years later he multiplied by 40 the value of certain labor in another fac tory, and by another invention saved the company $50O0O on contracts ai- ready made. Later, with sewing ma chine company, he forged shuttles from one piece of bar steel and cut previous costs in half. Since that time he has made forgings by the use of drops weighing as much as ton dropping with dies sometimes six feet upon iron steel and copper. An example of his in- ventive genius is the instance of his forging offhand from single piece of copper commutator bars for electric dynamos after the electrician in charge had said that such a scheme was i'm possible.

Priest and Donkey.

When Archbishop Farley was private chamberlain to the late Pope Leo, some 20 years ago. he was called upon to meet all sorts of persons. Many of them measured wits with him, and few scored victory. On one occasion a young Frenchman tried his best to anger the prelate, then Mons. Farley, by scofing at religion and clergymen. Failing in this, he resorted to sheer impudence. saying: T am informed that in Mada- gascar, whenever they hang priest, they hang donkey along with him."
 The young man laughed, and Mons. Farley, looking at him mildly, said: Well, let us both be thankful, my young friend, that we are not in Madagas- ca"

It sweats out the pain and aches, and this is Natures plan.
 Don't ruin your stomach with strong internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu- ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee paracamph to relieve and cure youif used as directed. If it fails your druggist will refund your money. If your druggist don't handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.

Every visitor to Egypt who has "gone up'' the Nile and has stayed at Luxor for more than a day or two is familiar with the grand semi-eircle of lofty cliffs bounding the western plain of Thebes, at the foot of which rises the beautiful tefraced temple of DeT

STORY OF 4 VUL TURF
NATURALIST TRIES HARD TO LOSE A TURKEY BUZzARD.
Had Tasted the Refnements of Civ ilized Life and Refused to Go Back to Its Old Haunts
 and Ways.

Readers of this series may possibly remember Isaac" the young turkey vulture which I brought from the south about a year ago, and which weathered the winter at my former home in Massachusetts. When was about to move to Newport, N. H., de- cided to Hberate number of the anil mals which had in captivity, and whose behavior I did not intend to study any furthtr. Isaac was one of these, but as I knew that he was tame enough to become a victim of the first gunner who choose to slaughter him, thought I would take him with me to wilder country, where his chance for life would be- better. So I crated him, and sent him along by express. Now, Isaac was never a very good-natureo bird under any circumstances, and moving by express was an institution which did not meet with his approval man understood this when he felt his hand nipped as by pair of pincerS, and looked down to see Isaac's bill gripping him through the bars of the crate. With eyes flashing angrily, the buzzard twisted his head from side to side, in an endeavor to bite out the piece, and the man dropped the crate and sucked his hand while the crate and it's contents turned several kinds of somesaults down a long rocky hill.
 After his arrival here Isaac was kept tethered by long string to a perch on the edge of some woods, near the houst, and after he had become some- what used to the place, I took the strap from his leg and away he flew. He sailed around for a few minutes and then, dropping down, alighted on our barn, where he preened his fea- thers as calmly as though it were nothing new for him to be at liberty. Then off he went to farm house about half a mile away, where he stayed for a few days, eating fsh-heads and oth-

PUNISHING INDIANS.

It doesn't pay for an Indian school boy to play hockey. Guns are em- ployed to capture the truant, and if caught alive he is not tanned with birch, but is hustled to prison like a felon. At least, so we are to believe if this account of one of the tutors at the Chilocco Institute it true. He says:
 ''One party of five Ponca boys that I escorted to Chilocco last December remained over Sunday and were re- turning to the reservation ahead of me. Unfortunately they got on rTe smoker of the returning train and one of them looked into the coach. I in stantly s1lrmised that the others were with him and soon had three well seated and under guard. The fourth refused to come in and we indulged in wrestling bout on the platform with the train speeding along az a rate of forty miles an hour. I soon quit this method of capture as it might shave ended disastrously for both of us. Just as the train pulled into Ponca city my runaway jumped and I after him. He refused to stop and I fired twice, which simply ac- celerated his speed, and I am com DelIed to remark that with proper training that Indian could easily Jo1n the professional class of sprinlers. landed at the Ponca agency long af- ter midnight with the three others, who were imprisqned.

CT refuse that was thrown to him, and then he disappeared, and was afraid he had gone the way of all flesh. Then came telephone message to the eff feet that a large bird, doubtless a very valuable one" said to belong to me, was stopping at farm house about five miles away, and that if I wanted him I had better send for him soon, as two gunners had already fred at him, mistaking him for hen-hawk.i I did not want the bird, but did not. wish him to be shot. so walked over to see what could be done.

Upon asking for Isaac" | learned that he was probably in the chicken coop eating the fresh eggs:i he had eaten nearly all the fresh eggs for week past she said. The dam- age? Nothing They had been interest ed in watching the bird and in letting him take whatever he facied, but, since had come for him, why, they would not be at all sorry to see hinnl depart.
 We found Isaac in the barn-yard, i,
 
 ing very well fed and contented Hc allowed me to catch him, and putting him into a sack carried him home, and let him go in the fields near the house. Here food and water were placed for him, and he remained for several days He might have been there yet had not some tourists with a toy camera insisted in taking a pie ture of the "eagle," chasing the bird from rock to fence-post and from fence-post to tree, and Isaac became thoroughly disgusted and flew clean away.
 did not see him for several days af- ter that, but one morning last week I walked down to a camp in the woods not far from here, and there stood the buzzard, on the porch. He had arrived very hungry, was told, but for two days had steadily refused ginger at which was not very much sur- prised. Then, one evening, as some meat was thrown out to the dog, the vulture had bounced upon it with such emphasis as to make it evident that ginger snaps were not what he had been looking for. After that, they told me, the bird had haunted the camp, and could not be driven away He stole the dogs food, drove the little boy into the house when he went out to play, and that very morning he had made determined attempt to 'tsam- pIe'' the baby. After that he had been .'swatted' with the broom, but, as I could see for myself, there he was again.
 Altogether I have grave fears for Isaac's health. If he can control him. self until cool weather, and then jour ney to the south, where vultures are appreciated, all may yet go we'll with him; but if, astI fear, he continues to devote his life to stealing fresh eggs and chasing children, his shrift is likely to be short.

WATERBURY STEAM 1 LAUNDRY
HANDSOME WAISTS OF LACE.
Fashionable Material and Shades for the Fall and Winter
 Wear.

Very handsome autumn waists are made of liberty satin, and these waists are not necessarily expensive They can be in a deep shade of oyster white, trimmed with pale white lace. and finished with applications of lace of a deep 1-sade of ecru.
 It is very fashionable, says the Brooklyn Eagle. to make lace waists of half dozen shades of white lace. and to use the lace as one would use fiounces of silk, with one fiounce faIl- ing over the other.
 Lace, in a shade of lemons white. is appliqued with medallions of lace in blue-whfte, while the whole, is embrpE- dered in stitches that are in a shade of pearl. This gives several shades oe white and makes the waist much smarter than though it were all of a single tone.
 It is smart to fasten the white girdIs! with small black velvet buttons. Set double row of those buttons at the side and hook the girdle invisibiy un- derneath. A white satin stock is se- cured in the same manner by invisible fastenings, with double rows of black velvet buttons at each side of tha stock.
 Thin silk waists will be worn an winter, and there will be waists od china silk, of crepe de chine, of liberty and of the very delicate India silks These will have many lace figures apz piled and the material will be cut out underneath, giving them a very lacH appearance.

TAKING AN AIR BATH.
An Opportunity Given to Allow the
 Skin to Breathe.

Ghl1l UU 81DlCdudCs
 < It must be remembered that we rarely, if ever, give our skin the op- portuntty to breathe properly. Our perverted condition in regard to heavy, unventilated and often re stricted clothing has given us a skin that is constantly moist, clammy and cold to the touch. Restricted clothing not only damages the lungs and in ternal vital organs of the body, but causes the circulation to the sk1n 10 become stagnant and poor. A great many ills that we do not understand are caused by the unhyg1enic practice of smothering the skin.
 Give your body an air bath! Re animate your skin! This is a splen- did time to begin the habit of uoing so, since a "cold' need not be feared at this time of the year, and you will strengthen the skin against the more severe season. Exposures y and draughts against the body is a super- stitiOn more or less. The writer has often stood before cold dEaught talk ing an air bath in winter and the practice has yielded a days tonic to the body that cannot be explained, but must be tried upon one's own person to be understood and appreci- ated.
 Open your windows wide and exer- else until the pores have become awakened. Then let the cool, fresh morning air play upon your body, ly- ing down if you desire. 1t will be a treat that you will never wanr tu miss again. It acts as delightful tonic to the nerves. There is no bet ter medicine for weak, nervous peop- le than the air bath. The very blood tingles with the unaccustomed freed om of the body and it's coptact with the energizing air.-New York Mail.
