How Inventions Are Made.

|. The great majority of practical in
ventions are made by q group of men
of whom the public never hears. These
men are members of one of the most
complicated and highly organized of
the modern professions. Every great
manufacturing concern maintains, IN
der one name or another, an "inven-
tons department." employing men who
are paid various salaries simply to
develop inventions. They are supplied
with every mechanical appliance to
facilitate their work; the bills are paid
by the company, and every invention
they make is assigned to the company
"in consideration of salary and one
dollar" The General Electric Com
pany, at Schenectady, N. Y, for e1-
ample, employs about 300 men who de-
vote much of their time to developing
new ideas. 1t spends $2,5005000 a year
in this development work. The West
inghouse companies do the same thing;
so does every progressive manufacture
ing concern Of any consequence in the
United States. And it is these un-
known men, graphing with the every
day, practical problems of great manu-
factories, who make most Of the In
ventions of immediate commercial
value.-World's Work.

satsuma Pottery Decoration.

Satsuma, adored Of all pottery-loy-
ing women, has been manufactured
for many hundreds of years in Japan.
In old feudal days the Japanese princes
delighted in private potteries, in which
art craftsmen made all the pottery
used in their lords establishment. The
ware made on the estate Of the Prince
of Satsuma acquired a worldwide
fame. During the internal wars Of the
nineteenth century, however, which re-
suited in the new Japan, the secret of
the ware would have been lost had it
not been preserved by a potter. Mr..
Meizan, of Osalsa, is said to be the
greatest living decorator Of Satsuma.
He employs fifteen artists, all his own
pupils. The extreme minuteness OF
some of MeizaD's decorations is almost
incredible. On the interior Of n bowl
fifteen inches in circumference and
three in depth. he has painted 10000
butterflies, indistinguishable to the
naked eye, but through the glass seen
to be perfect in form and coloring.-

July she was able and ready to unload

breathe freely for the first time IN
thirty years. In 1890 she married JOS

lived but two years, and was of but
very little assistance in the manage

conducted them all herself, with the

CHAPTER M.

Mr.. Hartley Ferguson pushed lot
ward the settlements with vigcr, and
Mrs. Ferguson gained her point. Lady
Churchill was present at the marriage
and gave the bride a very elegant, al
though not costly, ~vinaiGrette on tna1
suspicious occasion.
And the bride needed neither vinla'
grettes not any ether conventional
bridal supports wherewith to sustain
her nerves. but comported herself 10

BILE GOODNESS in which she had carried
on the business from that first moment
when she entered Jane Grand's sitting
room in the twilight. And after the
ceremony she took Clifford off at once

on that first day Of their happiness
that her word was to be law, and that

Mohun did not submit without a
struggle to his new lot; and to this
moment has: a dim idea that his wife
does not rule him-an idea in which
Matty herself, and Matty's friends, and
Mohun's friends. too, do not all partlci-
pate. He takes refuge more and more
in his dinner and his wine, and such
material consultations of life; and when,
at rare intervals. they come to Iatton,
and Matty is engaged with her guests,
her billiards. her croquet, her dances,
Mr.. Mohun is wont to steal away OF
an evening to Chesterford Ficarage,
and think. in his hazy fashion, how
hardly used he has been by fate, while
he marks the quiet happiness-the
honor, the love. the self-respect-Which
the master of that little country house
possesses.

meeting Clifford Mohun than she would

Brinpinc q Stick to Life.

To the people of the temperate zone
the rapid growth Of tropical Vegeta-
ton seems almost incredible. In mary
parts of the tropics the climate is so
favorable and the soil so fertile and
conducive to rapid growth that almost
any stick placed upright in the earth
will spring to life.
In some portions of Central America,
says the Chicago Chronicle, n may
see mile after mile Of fences apparent
ly composed Of growing trees which,
upon examination, prove to have once
been barbed wire fences, the posts
having branched out and grown into
good-sized trees. Many q Central
American telegraph pole will be seen
with q crown Of leaves at the top,
which have sprouted since the last
visit Of the linemen.
In The tropical countries they have
as much trouble to keep the trees from
growing as in northern latitude to
make them grow, and one Of the great
est difficulties encountered in that
country in railroad work has been to
keep the ties from sprouting.-Th Cit

An Arabian Druid in Paris.

Strange mystics are discovered in

Tentatively plaintive and fierce. The

The Shattered Violin.

A distinguished musician ordered a
manufacturer of violinS to make for
him the best instrument possible. He
told him to use the best material, take
all the time wished, and use all his
skill in it's construction.
At last the manufacturer sent for
the musician to come and try the vio-
lin. AS the musician drew the bow
across the instrument, his face became
clouded. Lifting the instrument, he
smashed it to pieces on the counter,
handed the price to the manufacturer
and left the shop.
The manufacturer was not satisfied
with mere pay. his reputation was at
stake. He gathered the fragments OF
the violin and put them together. AZ
ter he had remade the violin out OF
the pieces, lie again sent for the mu-
stefan. This time the frown was not
seen; as he drew the bow across the
strings he told the manufacturer that
he had succeeded at last in making
just the kind of instrument that he de-
sired. "What is the price," inquired
the musician. Nothing at ALL" re-
piled the manufacturer; 1T is the same
instrument that you smashed to pieces
some time ago; 1 put it together and
out of the fragments this perfect music
has been made"
Let us believe tine parable. God can
take the fragments Of a shattered life,
and by His grace put them together
so that under the touch Of His Holy
Spirit there will 60 forth music good
enough for earth and heaven. Every
loss He can gain. Whatever may be
our experience Of the Gospel, and are
willing that God shall use us toward
it, let US believe that the promise,
"All things work together for good to
dhem that love God" will be realized
In our liyes.-Dc. A. c. Dixon.

The Personal Touch.

II always like to trade with her,"
said one, speaking of a business woman
whose name a friend had mentioned,
''because she always treats my modest
purchases as if they were as well
worth her attention as those of people
with far heavier purses. OF course
the simple hats I could order were a
very small item compared with the ex-
pensive ones of her wealthy customers,
but she always seemed as intent on
finding exactly what I wanted n as
interested in helping me select ana
combine materials to. the best possible
advantage, as if 1 were spending ten
times the amount at my command. 1
have always thought that the woman
who could give the same consideration

touch, to the sale of a fve-dollar NAT
that she would bestow upon a nifty
dollar one, was a business genius"
She was something more. The atll-
