The story of an Invention.

The power loom was the invention OF
q farmers boy, who had never seen or
heard Of such a thing. He fashioned
one with his penknife, and when he got
1t all done he showed it with great en-
thusiasm to his father, who at once
kicked it all to pieces, saying he would
have no boy about him who would
spend his time on such foolish things.
The boy was sent to a blacksmith to
learn trade, and his master took a
lively interest in him. He made a
loom of what wac left of the one his
father had broken up and showed it to
his master. The blacksmith saw he
had no common boy as an apprentice,
and that the invention was a valuable
one. He had loom constructed under
the supervision Of the boy. 1t worked
to their perfect satisfaction, and the
blacksmith furnished the means to
manufacture the looms, and the boy
received half the profits. In about a
year the blacksmith wrote to the boys
father that he should bring with him
a wealthy gentleman, who was the in
ventor of the celebrated power loom.
You may be able to judge of the as
constituent at the old home when his
son was presented to him as the in
ventor, who told him that the loom
was the same as the model that he
had kicked to pieces the previous year.

There Is as much fallacy in attempt
ing to prove the origin of pointing as in
a like attempt to prove the origin of
eating. As a matter of fact, the point
ing act commonly exhibited by the
pointer and setter is an incident of the
capture or attempted capture Of food
by dogs, and also by wolves and foxes.
Coyotes have been seen to draw and
point ON prairie dogs and grouse in
precisely the same manner that the
pointer and setter draw on game birds.
There were the same rigidity and
stealth, the pause to judge of distance
and opportunity and the final rigid
pause when all the energies are con-
centrated for the final spring to cap
ture. All the phenomena displayed by
the dog family indicate that the draw
ing and pointing in the pursuit of prey
were ever natural traits. 1t may be
reasonably believed that man could
not breed the pointing instinct out Of
the dog if he attempted to do so.-

There are several districts in France
where the very ancient tongues still
survive. Basque is spoken by about
100000 persons, who are naturally
proud OF a"language that is their ex-
usive,possession, for it Is unlike ev-
cry other spoken tongue, and the as
sertion Is commonly made that to I'M
derstand it one must have learned it in
the cradle. This peculiar property
gives in the mind of the Basque people
support to their belief that 1t was the
language of Adam and Eve. The same
claim Is advanced, though, for Breton.
The Romans when they conquered
Gaul compared Breton to croaking of
ravens. About a million people speak
Breton. Then there. are Flemish. still

Botters. That Pleasing musical num-
bers are appreciated by the audience,
even when offered merely on the merit
of the music, is evidenced by the act
of the Hirschhorns, Alpine entertain
ers, who get a cordial reception on
every appearance. The comedy end
of Huegel Brothers, acrobats, does
some clever work that is amusing as
well. Lovers of black face entertain
ers will find good sample of this
style in Corrigan and Hays, who sing,
dance and give character delineations.

The Man of Force.

There is always room for a man of
force, and he makes room for many.
Society is a troop of thinkers, and the
best heads among them take the best
places. A feeble man can see the
farms that are fenced and titled, the
houses that are built. The strong man
sees the possible houses and farms.
His eye makes estates as fast as the
sun breeds clouds-Emerson

Pluto's Safety Valve.

In 80 A. d. son of the doge Pietro
Orsolo had welded in Venice the Briz-
