though uncomfortable Of themselves, new
ertheless are not devoid of interest when
made the subjects of the draftsman's ready
pencil. OF such nature is the process de-
picted in our sketch-merely a molder
busily engaged in ramming the sand into
his flask. The pleasing combination of
form attracted the casual notice of our ar
tist few days since, while visiting large
industrial establishment and in a spare
moment he jotted down the lines which,
by one of those marvellous processes Of
photo-engraving, we have caused to be rep
resented in perfect facsimile in thousands
of copies of tide Scientific american. The
design will be an agreeable memento of
possibly the daily practice of many into
whose hands our paper may find its way,
while, perhaps, it may be not entirely with
out mission Of it's own. The earnest face
Of the workman and the firm grasp with
which he wields his rammer show very
clearly that he is delivering no gentle blows,
and that his task is being done with will
which .9 q sure guarantee Of its thorough


ness. Now ramming molds is not a come
plicated performance, nor does it require
the ability Of very skilled artisan on the
contrary, it is very small portion of the
multitudinous operations which must be
accomplished before the perhaps great
structure, to which the piece Of metal in
the flask belongs, is completed. But in
significant as this process may be, zeal and
thoroughness are just as much called for
as in the most delicate manipulations, and
no mechanic will ever be the loser by using
his best efforts on just such little things
Faithfulness in the accomplishment of
small tasks brings with it the ability TO
perform thoroughly much greater ones
and the workingman who proves himself
energetic and honest in doing the former
will soon find that his talents are needed
in larger operations, which will insure him
increased credit and profit.

WHEN boy can carry every thing at
one load he will not go twice after it,
This was the case with a boy who was
working his way through Elm street
the other day, with twenty bean poles
on his shoulder Now one bean pole is
about all an ordinary mortal can carry,
and nobody but a boy would attempt TO
carry twenty of them. He had tied them
together at the middle, leaving the ends
loose, and had thought on starting, with
out doubt, that he was boy of remark

uneasy. When they can't move one way
they will another but they will move and

lie had them on his shoulder at first, but
some OF them got to dropping down be
hind, and striking against people, and
others fell down in front, and stuck into
the sidewalk and made him stumble.
Then again some of them lay horizon
tally. Not but they preferred to drop as
the others, did, but lying horizontally
while the others were in opposite posi-
tons gave pleasing variety to the per
formance. When the boy stopped as he
was frequently obliged to do, some one in
the rear would step on the poles or in
among them, and swear at him. Finally,

man was carrying in his arms This so
excited him that he dropped the poles
entirely. The owner of the clock cuffed
him over the head, and then took down
his fathers name and swore he would
have damages. The unfortunate youth
then took the awful things up in his arms,
but they wouldn't lie still They kept
together at the middle, but were demora-
lied at the ends, and whirled about so
rapidly as to scare him. He looked like
a windmill, and presented such an awful
spectacle that people prccipitately took
to the street, and several horses attempted
to climb up into their wagons. He had
to drop his load again or be shot down
in his tracks by the infuriated drivers.
Finally he made two bundles of them,
and took one under each arm. Some of
the ends commenced to tangle with the
opposites, and get in front of his eyes and
shut out his vision. Others dropped
down in front and behind, and one of
those which went down in front caught
so firmly in the walk as to completely
upset the unhappy youth, and he came
down on his back-having turned a
complete summersault-with poles under
him, and over him, and on all sides of
him, while just back of where he went
down stood woman picking the wrecks
of a bonnet out of her hair, and looking
in the pile, for the largest pole was a mid
dle-aged man with a cut nose and a rup-
tured shirt. The boy jumped up and fled.

INQUEsTIONABLY mistaken notions


about hydrophobia cause an untold amount


of anguish of mind to nervous people, to
whom the terrier is a terror, and who
tremDle before the poodle during the pc
riod of the raging dog-star. Such people
generally abominatc dogs, and if they


have canine pets, forbid their children to
play with them in hot weather, and tor


mcnt the poor beasts to desperation by
dint Of continually testing their sanitary
condition with applications of water. We


take this opportunity, therefore, to state


certain facts of the latest veterinary sci
ence on the subject Of hydrophObia, taken
from a recent address by DR.. E. L. Phil


pots before the British Medical Associa-


ton, and indorsed by one Of the most dis
tinguished Of English naturalists.


There are two forms of canine rabies,
only one of which is communicable to


man. This form is called hydrophobia,


and is always fatal, both to animal and


man. 1t is very rare at all times, and ac-


tually less frequent in warm weather than
in cold, so that if we are going to muzzle
our dogs for hydrOphobia we had better
do it in winter than summer The degree


of this rarity may be judged from the fact


that very few physicians, even of long ex-
peIlclCc, Cdu tcJdlI oiu4lc IuStdHtC Oh


a person dying from true hydrophobia. a


man is perhaps about one-tenth as likely


to die this way as to be struck by light


ming, "a danger scarcely worth lying awake


about certainly.


But bow about the large number Of
dogs that do undoubtedly 90 into a rabid


condition every summer and run amuck


down the street, frothing, barking and bit
ing? These are afflicted, according to DIR,
PhilpOts, with the second form Of rabies.


a distemper somewhat similar in symp-
toms to hydrophobia, but readily distin-


guishable from it. This is quite common,
especially in summer. 1t is not, however,
under any circumstances, communicable


to man, and bite by dog in this condi-
ton has no other effect than tie bite of a


healthy dog. The attack is not generally
fatal to the animal unless by soaring
somebody into shooting him. In this dis


temper, as in hydrophobia, the dog
froths, howls and snaps, and is afflicted
with the same convulsions in the throat


but while the hydrophobic dog flies from
| water, the distempered dog tries to drink it,
but is unable. Nineteen out of twenty Of
the dogs shot every year for hydrOphobia
are only distempered, and if Shut up for


an hour or two would recover This fact
accounts, among other things, for the re-

street together big, quarrelsome: hoodlum
cur rushed out from the sidewalk and pounced
upon the canine companion of the cow. The
hoodlum seemed to be getting the best of the

upon him with arched neck and erect tail,
pitched him from the middle of the street
into pile of packing-cases standing on the

The Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise says:


A. NJ. Stewart, one of the locators of the


great gravel deposits on the summit of the


Sierra Nevada mountains, California, has


shown us stone that is different from any,


thing we have ever yet seen. The stone ap-


pears to be ruby, and is doubtless of great
value Stewart has several times been offered
| from $50 to $500 for his 'sfind," but he has
always refused to SELL The stone is sur


rounded by ring of white stone of peculiar
formation. The gem, or central stone, is


about the size of a ten-cent piece; while


the whole specimen is about the size of "a
half dollar. This stone, being viewed


through a powerful glass; shows the most


wonderful rays of light-rays more than
rivaling the Aurora Borealis with specks of
silver and gold Stewart picked up the stone
from the surface gravel in a ravine upon his
claim. He sent it to San Francisco to lapi-
Diary asking that it be cut on one side. The
lapidary tried to cut it, but made poor job
of it. He got off some of the rough outside
shell, but was unable to make much impress
sion upon the stone itself. We saw the
hardest of files tried upon it, and they did not
even make a scratch. The owner of this
stone informs us that three other stones of
the same kind are in the possession of the
Indians of that region, who hold them in
great respect as talismans and refuse to part
with them at any price. BY showing one of
these stones an Indian, for instance, may
pass through all the northern tribes of In
dians. The stone is certainly great curios-
ity, and we believe this is the only one ever
seen in the hands of white man. 1t is in
the shape of a magnifying glass, being thick
in the middle. 1t is probably quarter of an
inch thick in the centre, though but about
half an inch in diameter. Being cut on one
side only, and poorly cut at that, it is hard to
judge of the full beauty and value of the
stone. The owner does not call it a ruby,
but thinks it is new and rare stone unknown
to the lapidaries. 1t is certainly most
unique and beautiful gem.

The bill met with neither sneers or opposi

anxiously watched the tardy movements OF
business all day from the gallery of the Sen.
ate Chamber, went with sad heart to his
hotel and prepared to leave for New York at
all early hour the next morning. While at
breakfast a servant informed him that a young
lady desired to see him in the parlor.


There he met Miss Annie Ellsworth, then
young school girl-the daughter of his in
innate friend, Hon. Henry L. Ellsworth, the
first Commissioner of Patents-who said, as
she extended her hand to him: II have come
to congratulate you


"Upon what?' inquired the professor.


''Upon the passage of your 5ill," she re-
Piled"


Impossible! Its fate was sealed at dusk
last evening. You must be mistaken"


''Not at all, she responded, ''father sent
me to tell you that your bill had passed. He
remained until after the session closed, and
yours was the last bill but one acted upon,
and it was passed just five minutes before
the adjournment, and | am so glad to
be the first one to tell you. Mother says, too,
that you must come home with me to break
fast"


The invitation was readily accepted, and
the joy of the household was unbounded.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Ellsworth had fully be-
lieved in the project, and the former, in his
confidence in it, and in his warm friendship
for Professor Morse, had spent all the closing
hours of the session in the Senate Chamber,
doing what he could to help the bill along,
and giving it all the influence of his high
personal and official position.


Grasping the hand of his young friend, the
Professor thanked her again and again for
bearing him such pleasant tidings, and as
sured her that she should send over the wires
the first message as her reward. The matter
was talked over in the family, and Mrs. Els
worth suggested message, which Professor
Morse referred to the daughter for her ap-
proval, and this was the one which was sub
sequently sent.


A little more than year after that time,
the line between Washington and Baltimore
was completed. Prof Morse was in the for
mer city, and Alfred Vail, his assistant, in
the latter-the first in the Chamber of the Su-
prcme Court, the last in the Mount Glare De-
pot, when, the circuit being perfect, Prof.
Morse sent to Miss Ellsworth for her mes
