The Sforx oR an InNentiOn.

The power loom was the Invention or
q farmers boy, who had never seen or
heard Of such a thing. He fashioned
one with his penknlfe, and when he got
II all done he showed it with great ell
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 OH such foolish things.
The boy was sent 10 a blacksmith TO
learn q trade. and his master took
1vely interest In him. He made a
loom of what was left OF the one his
father had broken up and showed II 10
his master. The blacksmith saw he
had no common boy as an apprentice
and that the invention was valuable
one. He had loom constructed under
the supervision of the boy. 1t worked
to their perfect satisfaction ana the
blacksmith furnished the means 10
manufacture the looms, and the boy
received half the profits. In about a
wear the blacksmith wrote TO The boy 5
father that he should bring with him
n wealthy gentleman, who was the In
ventor of the celebrated power loom.
You may be able TO judge Of the as
tonishment 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 tnat he
had kicked to pieces the previous year.

sure herself and family, asked him on
one occasion II he would insure the cat.
Tile agent, to the establishment and nJ
small amusement Of some friends,
promptly offered TO do so, provided she
paid the first premium down. The
lady, still thinking to hoax him. ex-
pressed her willingness to do so, and
placed shilling on the table. The
agent quickly produced a proposal

while those present were on the tiptOe
of expectancy as TO what was to fol-
low.
"Now, madam, with your permission,
may / see the cat"
Certainly" she replied, at the same
time pointing to "A glass case which
contained the stuffed remains Of the
poor defunct cat.
A chorus of derlsive laughter burst
from all present, but to their dismay
the agent turned, bowed politely, at the
same time picking up the shilling, and
exclaimed:

Changes FrCEs Fish TO Bird.
The story OF tie early life, traDsfOr-
nation and final death OF the Chinese
quail Is the most remarkable that Ia
found I'm the OrnIthOloglcal literature Of
the world. Tie narrative I'm all It's un-
reasOnableness Is found In the story Of
ON chung, which Is the name the Chi
neSe quail Is known by when at home
in the Fl0wcry Kingdom. Celestial au-
thorlties on bird lore declare that no
specimen of ON chung was ever known
to live year; that they do not lay
eggs. as all other known species OF
birds do, aud, finally, that their pro-
genitor Is a Shiny, four jointed worm.
which has n red head and a sting on
the end of It's tail. This queer seacoast
worm, according to the curi,fis legend
Of ON chung. lays 100 eggs annually.
Fifty Of these become fish and the 9th
er fifty are worms of the same species
as the parent The fish that has come
into existence in this curious manner
also lays 100 eggs year. Fifty Of
these become water denlZens after the
image of their parent, and the others
become birds Of the famed ON chung
family. These ON chungs, or Chinese
quallS, never breed, and are only
brought into existence Is above related.
We give the above not as Il literal fact,
but as specimen Of the Chinese Idea
OF evolution.

Hank White, the minstrel, lived III
Reading, VT, for many years. He was
eery fond Of horse races, and rarely
missed any Of the meetings in Windsor
or Rutland county. Once he attended
O breeders meeting at Rutland. The
breeders meetings were famous and
attracted people from New York, Mas

over Vermont. On this particular day
Hank was seated IN the grand stand,
one Of 5000 people
"Hod" Fish Ira, well known char
acter, was driving his horse Belvidere,
very large bay horse, with not too
much speed, but the owner had an Idea
that ne was wonder. 1t was In the
free for all race. All the horses except
Belvidere had passed the grand stand
almost neck and neck on the first half.
It was a beautiful race Trailing be-
hind about twenty rods came Belvi-
dere, the driver urging him on to bet
ter efforts, and when he was in front
Of the grand stand Hank stood up and
yelled at the top OF his voice: Take the

The First stove.

The most important uses Of fire were
taught by fire itself. As the primitive
man stood near the flames Of the burn
ing tree and felt their pleasant glow be
learned that fire may add to bodily
comfort, and when the flames swept
through a forest and overlook a deer
and baked It he learned that Ere might
be used to improve the quality OF his
food. The hint was not lost. He took
q burning torch To his cave or hut and
kindled him n fire on his floor of earth.
His dwelling filed with smoke, but he
could endure the discomfort for the
sake OF the fires warmth and for the
sake Of the toothsomeness Of the cook
ed meats. After n time hole was
mdde in the roof of the hut, and
through this hole the smoke passed out.
Here was the first stove. The prllni-
tive stove was the entire house. the
floor was the fireplace and the hole IN
the roof was the chimney. The word
"stove" originally meant "a heated
room" So that If we should say that
at first people lived In their stoves we
would say that which Is literally true

A Hattie In the Sea.

Did you ever see bluefish charge q
school of menhaden at sea? That Is
something worth seeing. The bluefsh
throw their lines forward until they al
most surround the menhaden, and they
attack them flank and rear. The men,
haden fairly make the water boil In
their efforts to escape. while all around
the enemy Is a. them tearing re.ent-
lessly. Into all this commotiOn comes
great shark. It's picnic for the
shark. d school Of menhaden all herded
up for it's benefit. Ii swlms lelsureiy
into the midst Of them, opens its mouth
and takes in half dozen menhaden at
Culp. 1t swims around and bites out
half a dozen more from the school. II
gorges itself without effort. But the
menhaGen are not nearly as much dis
turbed by the presence Of the monster
swimming about among them as they
are by the charging bluefsh. The shark
takes half n dozen fish or more at q
bite, while the bluefish only bites a
piece out of single fish, but there Is
only one shark, while there may be
thousands Of bIuefish plunging and
tearing necessarily and killing and
manning at every stroke The shark S
a brute but under such circumstances
the menhaden have less OF fear than

The Rise In the River.

II is little short of astonishing 10
see how little water is required to float
the southern river steamers, a boat
loaded with perhaps Il thousand bales
Of cotton slipping along contentedly
where q boy could wade across the
stream. Once, however, the Chatta-
hoochee got too low for even her light
draft commerce, and at Gunboat
shoals a steamer grounded. AS the
drinking water on board needed re-
pienishing, a deck hand was sent ashore
with couple Of water buckets. Just
1T this moment a northern traveller ap-
preached the captain Of the boat, and
asked him how long he thought they
would have 10 stay there.
'Oh, only until that man gets back
with bucket of water TO pour into
the river" the captain replied. Pres
emily the deck hand returned, and the
stale water from the cooler was
emptied overheard. Instantly, to the
amaZement Of the traveller, the boat
began to move.
"Well, if that doesn't beat thunder
he gasped.
The fact was that the boat, touching
the bottom, had acted as dam. and
there was soon bacAed up behind her
enough water to lift her over the shoal
and send her on down the stream.-

The Pointer.

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 matter of fact, the point
ing act commonl-- exhibited by the
pointer and setter is an Incident OF the
capture or attempted capture or 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 ana
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
