While reasoning can not constitute
the whole of the inventive act, it can,
so to speak, clear the way for it and
render it easier of accomplishment
Most of all, inventions are an evo-
luton from some previously invented
form. The mind always thinks of the
unknown in terms of the known
This evolution of an invention is
more or less logical, and is often
worked out by logical processes to
such an extent that the really ere
alive work is greatly reduced as com
pared with what it would be if done
by the imagination alone. Edison is
quoted as saying: Amy man can be-
come an inventor if he has magma.
ton and pertinacity; that invention
is not so much inspiration as per
spiration.'
The speaker then explained now he
conceived three typical inventions
had been evolved. To quote The Sen
tiners abstract:
THE first of these was the first au-
tomato valve gear for the steam en-.
CINE, the invention of boy, Humph
rey Potter. The second example of
the evolution of an invention was
that of a machine known as the cal
culagraph, which is used for calculat
ing and recording the charge on most
of the toll telephone messages in the
United States. 1t will automatically
subtract the time of day when the
message began from the time of day
when it ceased, and record the elapsed
| time, and will do this on the one ma
chine for any number of overlapping
| messages. The third example was the
evolution of the modifying parts of a
sslf-binding harvester. The speaker
| showed how the inventor first chose
a simple form of knot and then
studied the tying of it with his hands
until he had devised a way by which
he could tie it with the use of only
two fingers of one hand. One of the
fingers had a simple rotary move
ment with the arm, and the other fin
ger had, beside the rotary movement
a simple opening and closing move
ment toward and away from the first
finger, to grasp the cord at a cettair
period in the revolution. Mr.. Prindle
went through these operations witt
his own fingers and tied knots to il
lustrate these motions. With this ex
haustive and ingenious consideration
of his problem the inventor had only
a simple piece of mechanism to pro
duce to accomplish his purpose. The
mechanism really only consisted o
two mechanical fingers on a shaft
and cam for working the clampinl
finger"

RobespIerre,g CHANCE Of Heard.

Robespierre, of the French revolu
ton, the man who was destined to
deluge France with blood, was, not
long before his frightfuI career of
power began, one of the most strenu.
GUS opponents of capital punishment.
While he was still an obscure advocate
at his native Arras he threw up an ap-
pointment because of his opposition to
this form of penalty And just when
his star was in the ascendant he bold
ly harangued the national assembly to
prove that the punishment of death
is essentially unjust, that it has no ten
dency to repress crimes. and that il
multiplies offenses much more than it
diminishes them"

WAS GOOD FOR STOCKHOLDERS
Lynching Bee Enabled Telegraph Com
pany to Pay Dividend.

One would scarcely think lynching
would be the means of enabling a
struggling telegraph company to de-
clare dividend, yet this is what hap
pened in North Carolina recently.
Without a doubt it is the only case of
the kind on record.
A party of North Carolinians organ
lied themselves into a company and
built telegraph line between two
small towns in the eastern part of the
state. They kept it with difficulty in
operation for several years, barely be-
ing able to pay expenses. The COM
pany was about to abandon the line in
despair when suddenly one night a
party of men descended upon a town
at one end of the line and forcibly took
from the lookup prisoner who had
made himself unpopular in the neigh
borhood. His dead body was found
dangling from the limb of tree next
day.
The affair caused a sensation. News
paper men fiocked thither by the score
and the state authorities became fully
aroused. For three days the lone tele
graph wire was kept humming with
messages. At the end of this period
the stockholders were astounded and
filled with jo.r by the announcement
that so prosperous had the affairs Of
the company become that a dividend
was at hand. On the impulse of the
moment they were about to draw VI
resolutions of thanks in memory of the
gentleman who had so considerably
come to their rescue by allowing him
self to be hanged, but after the frs
wave of enthusiasm sober SECOND
thought prevailed and it was agreed
that this would not be dignified pro
| eeeding.

POINTS ABOUT THE HOG.

The hog quarters should be kept in
such condition that they will never be
a faint to the air blowing over them.
Don't think that high breeding can
take the place of good feeding. OF
course much depends on the breed,
but more on the feed.
Don't expect the the pigs to thrive
in muddy pens and damp beds They
will disappoint you every time if
you do.
If the SOW is kept in good condition
on the right kind of food her pigs
will be strong and vigorous.
A good sow in perfect health always
loses flesh while sucking litter of
pigs and needs to be well fed.
Pigs often lack vigor because the
brood sows are kept too fat. A good
thrifty condition is much better for
the pigs than too much fat.
AS a rule aged brood sows are the
most prolific, the best mothers and
produce the most vigorous offspring.
Usually the hogs with coarse,
straight hair will not fatten near so
rapidly as the one with soft fine hair.
The thumps in pigs is often caused
by an excess of fat about the internal
organs and especially around the
heart.
Every narrowing SOW should have
a shelter to herself and be put in il
in time to get acquainted with her
surroundings.

GIVES BABIES BANK ACCOUNTS.
Maine Man Starts One for Every
Child Born in His Town.

The financial world has surely not
hitherto had much startling news to
chronicle of Thomas Dinsmore, of Pal
ermo, Kennebec county, Maine, says
the American Banker. That gentle
man has not surprised the commu-
nifty into throes of admiration by the
establishment of hero funds nor the
found alton OF any libraries. He has
not been identified with any huge cor
poration engaged in cornering the
earth, for the earth's good, no doubt,
nor has he purchased highly priced
works of art and presented them to
an ungrateful country that insists
upon his paying duty on the gifts.
But in a way Mr. Dinsmore seems
to have cornered all the praise and
gratitude in his locality and he GER
tainly has a monopoly in his particu-
lar industry.
At present he is engaged busily in
presenting new bankbooks showing a
five dollar deposit to each new baby
which arrives in his community. 1t
will be seen at once that this is not
only excellent for the banks and fine
for the babies, but it will in all like
lihood prevent any appreciable tend
ency toward race suicide.
Some time ago Mr. Dinsmore be-
gan the practice of presenting every
school graduate with a new handbook
and one dollar. The good work of this
gentleman is necessarily limited, but
he has sounded the depths of the coun-
trys need. Not by railing against
capital and capitalists nor preaching
equality and the equal distribution OF
property will the evil of huge
money concentration be remedied By

EVOLUTION OF AN INVENTION.
Simple Way in Which the Knot-Tyins
Part of Harvester Was Developed.

The popular idea that an inventor
must be a heaven-born genius, that
the faculty OF inventing can not be
cultivated, and that inventions are
made spontaneously by their inventors
and wholly out of their imagination,
is pronounced delusion by Edwin L.
Prindle, in a paper read before the

RAPE FOR SHEEP PASTURE.
Nothing Better, Says Huron (coun-
ty) Ohio Farmer.

1 have never found any pasture on
which sheep will do as we'll as rape.
1 have sown it altogether as catch
crop and it has done wonderfully
well. l SOW it just before the last cul-
tivation of corn, usually about the
middle of July. Then the corn is so
large that the cultivating has to be
done with a single horse. The plants
will make the greater part of their
growth after the corn is cut up.
This seson conditions were favor
able and l sowed July 6 and followed
up the same day with the wheel cult
vator and two horses, making short
easy and complete job 1t took three
hours to SOW ten acres and the cult
waiting took a little more than one
half a day. The seed cost $2.80-35
pounds at eight cents a pound. The
cost was a mere trifie compared to the
value of the crop. The corn stands
a little thin on the ground, the land
is rich, and 1 look for a great crop of
forage that will come on when the 9th
er pastures are brown and dry. will
turn lambs in about the middle or last
of September. They will not modest
the corn to their injury and the green
succulent rape will at this time dc
them a world of good.
The crop is SO easily and cheaply
grown in this way, says the Farm
and Home, that no man who keeps
sheep can afford to do without
it. Every fockmaster knows the ad
vantage of having his sheep go into
winter quarters in high condition
They are so much more easily and
cheaply wintered, and the rape gives
them fine start on the road. 1t will
surprise any sheep man to see how
quick lambs will respond to the pas
turage of luxuriant rape, and con

MAKING french coffee.

The French method of making cof-

unpleasant to many on account of it's
raw taste. Try, for a change, boiling
your French coffee for a couple OF
moments after it has dripped, or UNI
til it ceases to taste raw. A woman
