COLONIAL INGENUITY. Useful Articles Made by the Early Hew Englander*. It has been said that the snowshoe and canoe as made by the Indians could added the split birch broom, or splinter broom, also the invention of the Indians, but made in every country household in New England in colonial day*. The branch of a large birch tree was cut eight feet long. An inch-wide band of the bark was left about 18 Inches from one end, and the shorter and lower end was cut in fine, pliable alivera up to the restraining bark band. A row of slivers was cut from the upper end downward, turning down over the band, and tied firmly down; then the remainder of the stick was smoothed into a handle. These brooms were pliable, cleanly and enduring, and as broom-corn was not grown here until the latter part of the past century they were, In fact, the only brooms of those days. They were made by boys on New England farms for six cents apiece and bought by the country storekeepers in large numbers for the cities’ use. These were not the only domestic utensils that the boys whittled, for In the universal manufacture of household supplies the boys joined; and, as Daniel Webster suid, the Yankee boy’s jackknife was the direct forerunner of the cotton-gin and hundreds of other Yankee inventions. The boys from earliest days made trenchers and trays, wooden pans in which to set milk, and wooden bread troughs. They made also butter paddles of red cherry, noggins, keelers, rundlets, flails, cheese-hoops, cheese-ladders, salt-mortars, pig troughs, pokes, sled neaps, ax-helves, box traps, reels, bobbins, handles for all implements, hay-rakes, and scores of other wooden implements. They also employed themselves in sticking wire teeth in Wool-cards. The strips of pierced leather and bent teeth were supplied by the cqrd manufacturer, and the children received a petty sum for the finished cards. In every household every spare moment was occupied in doing something which would benefit the home.—Alice Morse Earle, in Chautauquan.

Settled by the Cinematoarrapli. The cinematograph has settled an important international question between France and Russia that might otherwise have added to the prevailing political uncertainty in Europe. It seems that Prince Bismarck, in an interview with a German newspaper man, recently observed that President Faure, during his visit to Russia a few months ago, had behaved with perfect propriety except upon one occasion. This was when, at liis arrival in St. Petersburg, he reviewed the Cossack troops which acted as his guard of honor. He was Baid to have returned their salute by simply touching his hat, instead of taking off his hat, as the protocol prescribes. Bismarck’s criticism was brought to the French president’s attention, who cudgeled his brain to remember what form of salute he gave on that mOmentous occasion, but in vain. Neither could any of his comrades recall. But the other day the cinematograph: whicli seems to have kept an unwearied eye on President Faure’s movements in St. Petersburg, was interrogated upon the point, and was able to return a satisfactory answer. It disclosed a reproduction of the scene of the president’s arrival at Petersburg, showing him walking slowly in front of the ranks of his guard of honor, taking off his hat, with a large and sweeping gesture of the most correct style. Prince Bismarck had been deceived; the protocolAvas safe; President Faure breathed easily again.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

A VIGOROUSBATTLE From the New Era, Greensburg, Ind. The following is a straightfoiward statement of facts by a veteran of the late war. No comrade wul need further proof than their friend’s own words, as here given. Squire John Castor, of Newpoint, Ind., is the narrator, and an honest, respected citizen he is, too. He said: “I have been troubled with rheumatism in ail my joints, ever since I went to the war. It was brought on by my exposure there. It came on me gradually. ana kept getting worse until I was unable to do any work. I tried several physicians, but they did me no good. They said my trouble was rheumatism resulting in disease of the heart, and that there was no cure for it. Nevertheless I had lived and fought the disease for thirty years, and did not intend to die, simply because they said

I must, so I hunted up some remedies for myself, and finally happened on Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I asked some of my neighbors about the medicine, for it had been used by several persons in the community, and they recommended _it very highly. I procured a box. The pills helped me right away, and I continued taking them. I commenced taking them last fall, and finished taking the sixth box a few months ago. lam not bothered with the rheumatism now—the medicine has cured me. I can most certainly recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” These pills are not only good for rheumatism, but are invaluable for any disease that arises from impoverished, or bad blood. They do not act on tlje bowels.
