ONE WOMAN'S INVENTIONS.
Mn. Thomas Calkins Telia How She Ia^ vented What She Needed.
Mrs. Thomas D. Calkins, wife of the editor of the Amador Record, gave a lecture and exhibited a number of her inventions for lessening the labor of housekeeping on Saturday before the Woman Caterers' club. A number of women interested in the culinary art were present and complimented Mrs. Calkins on the result of her experiments.
All the articles which she exhibited and explained were invented by her. She was unable to purchase household
utensils suitable to her requirements. The result is the invention of a self adjusting towel ring, convertible baker and roaster, a steam heater, pinless clothes rack and sponge holder.
Mrs. Calkins is the daughter of the Hon. M. Farley of Fresno and niece of Colonel Tom Ochiltree, who once represeated Texas in congress. She is a woman of medium height, an expressive face, rich golden hair and looks little more than a girl in years. "My labor is simply the result of necessity and the impoverishment of tae market along certain lines," she said. "I never was satisfied with the old fashioned baking pan, so I sat down and planned a design for a new one. With the aid of adjustable partitions, which fit in a groove in the side of the pan, I have been able to construct an arrangement that is invaluable to people who bake their own bread. The partitions make the loaves a uniform size and form a complete crust. You can remove the partitions and the pan is ready to use for roasting meats. With the aid of movable handles, which form a lock, I can place two pans, one on top of the other, and in this manner get twice as much work out of an ordinary oven as I coald by using the regulation pan. "The self adjusting towel ring is a wire circle with a screw in the center which enables it to be attached to the wall without any trouble. The old fashioned rings hung on a nail or hook against the wall, and are, as a rule, more trouble than they are worth. "The pinless clothes rack is a very handy affair. It is for the purpose of holding small clothes, such as handker chiefs, napkins, etc., which are to be dried in the house. It is made of adjustable wires attached to a wooden frame. The wires are run parallel about an inch apart. At the ends they are bent and run close enough to form a catch when anything is placed between them.''
In all Mrs. Calkins has invented 27 useful household articles. She is well known in California. Five of her husband's brothers conduct papers in thia state, and her brother is a newspaper man of Fresno.—San Francisco Examiner.
Expert Money Counters.
Wehavehereat the treasury department four of the most expert counters of money in the world. They are women, and their names are Miss Calhoun, Miss Roff, Miss Cocks and Miss Burns. Each of these young ladies is able to count from 30,000 to 50,000 pieces a day, throwing out the counterfeits at
eight. They are
so
clever at
the work
that it is hardly possible for a bad coin to escape detection by their keen eyes. The pieces are spread out on tables in such a manner as to lie flat, this being accomplished by two or three quick movements of the hands. Then they are counted two at a time, with two fingers of the right hand, throwing them into the left hand, which is held below the edge of the table. In this process all badly worn coins are put aside, to be sent to the mint in Philadelphia.— Washington Star.
New Woman as Elevator Girl. The new woman has invaded another
1
field of labor. She is going to be an elevator girl. Strange that some bright woman did not think of it before. It is slow, conservative Philadelphia that introduces the elevator woman to an approving public. In the Young Woman's Christian association building, at Arch und Eighteenth streets, are two young women pioneers at this line of work. They like it, too, and say it is not nearly so hard or so unpleasant as standing all day in a store. The association building is eight stories high, and there is a large amount of travel up and dowD the elevators. The restaurant on the eighth floor is patronized not only by the permanent and transient boarders of the association, but also by crowds of noonday shoppers.

Oat of the grass that is over thjr breast, Hearing my coming, a bird took her flight. Where shall she travel for holier rest,
Scattering dew on the robes of the nightf Was she thy soul for a moment returned Out of God's hand to the temple of rust, Touching the bosom of clay she has spurned,
Leaving her tears on thy forehead of dustf
Friend of my heart, I was sad all the day, Hearing thee ask for me, hearing thee sigh Now I am coming at the evening to pray
Under the darkening dome of the sky, Calling by blossom and crying by bird. Have I not felt thee in lily and lark? All of tby tender, imperatives heard,
Comfort thee, comfort thee, friend in the dark.
What shall I tell thee? Night changes to morn. Woodlands are sweet with the call of the dove. Motherly finches contented in thorn
Nurse or their husbands a nestful of love What is all beauty if thou have no part? Would that life's rule might be dead for thy sake, Friend, as I moan from the turf on my heart.
Oh, to be sleeping and know thee awake! —Norman Gale in Windsor Magazine.
The Ideal Schoolboy.
The ideal schoolboy is an orderly machine, always obedient, receptive, submissive, ready in the cricket field and with real or simulated enthusiasm for football, despising all other games and conservative to the backbone. Ho is the darling of the master, who sends him home with glowing reports and arms full of prize books. It seems never to occur to any one that there may be natures to which the classical languages and history make no appeal, who have not the gift of the mathematician, and who do not even care to play at cricket or football. If such appear in a public school, they have a bad time of it, dragging out their miserable days at the bottom of the form, regarded as fools by the masters and as muffs by the boys. And yet among these school failures there may be Liebigs or Darwins or at any rate there may be and commonly there is the material out of which good and useful citizens are made if only they Lad a chance to show what they can do.—Nature.

Stage Realism.
One of my best friends in Plymouth was Benjamin Haydon. His son, the artist of celebrity, was at that time a spirited and intelligent little fellow about 10 years of age, who used to listen to my songs and laugh heartily at my jokes whenever I dined at his father's. One evening I was playing Sharp in "The Lying Valet" when he and my friend Benjamin were in the stage box, and on my repeating the words, "I have had nothing to eat since last Monday was a fortnight" little Haydon exclaimed in a tone audible to the "whole house: "What a whopper! Why, you dined at my father's house this afternoon."—Bernard's "Retrospection of the Stage."
Rotten Row.
It is a royal prerogative, belong, ing exclusively to the reigning sovereigns, to drive down the middle of Rotten row, London. The queen has only availed herself once or twice of the right. From this ancient privilege came the name Rout du Rois, whenoe the corruption "Rotten row."
Poverty Cottage.
If ever household affections and loves are graceful things, they are graceful in the poor. The ties that bind the wealthy and the proud to home may be forged on earth, but those which link the poor man to his humble hearth are of the true metal, and bear the stamp of heaven.—Dickens.
North Carolina has a mica output of 100,000 pounds a year. New Hampshire produces about 25,000 pounds, South Dakota 18,000 pounds and New Mexico 1,000 pounds. The mica of North Carolina is of the best quality and brings the highest prioe.

man recently
died, says the Boston Budget, and in a conversation between him and a friend at a Spiritualistic seance the following colloquy ensued:
The friend, on being called for by the departed one, asked, "Who's that?"' "Your old chum, Jim Wilson." "Well, Jim. I suppose you are partaking of celestial glory?" "Not a bit of it. I struck the other place." "Great Scott, that's awful!"
The spirit smiled. "I know that's the popular idea," it said, "but, my boy, it's a great sight better than Chelsea."
"PRE AFRICAN:
He Baa a Sense of Honor and Joatlne and Is Not Crnel.
No one is more convinoed than 1 am that the African races are inferior to the English, French, German and Latin races. I do not place him below the other colored races possibly because I have never lived among nor attempted to understand the eastern races, and possibly because I have lived among and attempted to understand the Africans. Certainly the so called Hamitio races have never produced an' even fourteenth rate sculpture, picture, machine, tool, piece of cloik or pottery neither have they ever risen to the level of picture writing, let alona a written character, and I am personally acquainted, to the point of exasperation, with their cryptic, cornpli. cated ways of communicating ideas with strings of cowries and pieces of leaf and stick. Only the other day I bad to steer a course with a chart made of bits of plantain leaf of dili'erent breadths, denoting the size of the villages I was to pass through, and placed at intervals that denoted the distance between the villages.
I do not say I did well with that chart, but I have done quite as badly with the best admiralty one. But these ingenious devices do not equal the rock writing of tho South Americans, the pictures the red Indian paints on a raw elk hide, and are infinitely below those spirited sporting sketches of mammoth hunts, eto., left us by tho cave men.
In mental and moral affairs tho African is by.no means so strikingly inferior as he is in handicrafts. He has both a sense of justice and honor, not much worn by daily use, and very easily eliminated by a course of Christian teaching. But it is there, and if you know the way, you can rouse it aud make it work. In rhetoric he excels, and for good temper and patience he compares favorably with any set of human beings. The worst of his personal sins is sloth. This chiefly arises from his not having anything to do in a definite up to time way, for he is happy and industrious when under good white direction. No one who has been on the coast can fail to have noticed the Kroo boys singing and dancing and laughing over their often heavy work. The cooper and the carpenter and their fellow countryman from Accra, the cook, are far happier than tho Africans in the bush—yea, even the cook, whose conscience should be a burden to him on account of the manslaughters he has committed with his abiding greasiness.
Of course you will point out their customs, but I must say, in spite of what I have heard and seen, that I do not consider the west African oruel. One must remember that in their culture there are no prisons or hospitals or workhouses, no regular police force, etc. In the matter of their sacrificial rites, I think one should try and understand the underlying ideas before one thinks harshly. The feeling, for example, regarding the importance of burial rites is quite Greek in its intensity. Given a duly educated native of the Niger delta, I am sure ho would grasp the true inwardness of his Alcestis far and away better than any living European can.
To provide a proper burial for a dead relative means to them providing for that relative a happy after life, and so to do is the surviving I negro's greatest duty. Its only rival in his mind is the desire to avoid having a funeral for himself, and even this passion goes under in the mind of a good negro, and he will risk his own life to carry out what he considers his duty to the dead, even when he is well aware that the killing of slaves will mean hanging for him when "them big consul" knows of it.
The greatest horrors on the coast arise out of the belief in witchcraft. Toleration means indifference with all men, I believe, and the negro and Bantu are not indifferent about their subjects.—Mary Kingsley in London Observer.
Man as an Individual.
Theories are automatic machines which allow for no vagaries, but humanity in its physical, mental and moral nature is ever a variable and uncertain quantity, and he will have greatest sucoess either as physician, teacher or spiritual guide who treats the human material upon which he works as individual units and not as a grand Whole, whose theories are the result of his experience, and who recognizcs the truth that man as a sum is made up of man as many traits, each differing in its exponent of power.—Womankind.

Dear God,'' prayed a little Church street maiden last evening, "make a good little girl out of me, and if at first you don't succeed try, try )gain."—Bedford Banner Democrat.
