The Patent Churn.

If anything was needed to prove that Americans are the most persevering people outside ox romance, a turn through the churn department in the Patent Office would settle the matter beyond all chance for dispute. There has never been any demand for a patent churn; nobody wants one, and ho woman who cares to make butter that will haunt the memory like a lingering dream of joy would permit one to come within a thousand yards of the milk-house, and yet, in direct opposition to all the laws of nature, including female prejudice, thousands upon thousands of men have enslaved their brains for years in the service of the great Moloch of modern times—the , patent churn. Whenever a man grows sweaty in the brain-pan, and imagines he can feel the seethings of genius within him, it is a sure sign that destiny has ordained that he must beggar his family to procure a patent on a churn. At times the mania to invent something that cannot by any earthly possibility be of service to mankind becomes epidemic, and no man is safe from the dread contagion which almost invariablv finds expression in churns. A man may be ordinarily sane on everything else, and still be only a few removes from absolute idiocy on the subject of churns. Sending a boy to college and stuffing him full of expensive education is no guarantee that he will not some day debase his brain and waste the best years of his life in trying to get up a patent churn a little more absurd than any of its predecessors. Those misguided people who fooled away their lives in seeking the philosopher’s stone were not the only examples of wasted effort with which all history teems, as the acres of churn models in Washington will show. The gospel is preached all over our broad land, and idolatry is discountenanced everywhere, outside of politics and good society, and yet in spite of all this, men will bow down to the churn of their own construction and avow that its like is not found in the earth beneath nor the heavens above, and they will worship it and put the best part of their lives into it, and then go raving crazy with despair when they try to sell it and find out what an old fraud it is. Things have got to such a pass that the day is coming over the hill when the voter will not ask concerning the candidate for whom his vote is solicited: “Is he honest? Is he able? Is he strong enough to withstand corruption? ’ But—“ Did heever invent a churn ?” And if the answer js yes, you can bet that he w'on’t get a vote, unless he buys it. The fact that a man has tried to bulldoze fate by throwing away time on a elyurn instead of bunching his energies on th&rollerskate or something that people want, will be taken' as evidence that his skull is not the right shape, and he will be treated accordingly. The churn seems to be about the only thing to which the Darwinian theory will not apply. The missing link may some day turn up to connect the chain of progress, but until then all attempts at improvement can be nothing more than wasted effort. The churn in general use, and the one that sends forth butter to gladden like the spirit of love, is the one that came over in the Mayflower. It has no cranks or springs; no wheels or pinions; no cogs or levers. All there is of it is the dasher and the concern that holds the milk, and that is enough. Main strength can do the rest, and goodness knows female labor is cheap enough, unless you have to hire it which is seldom the case on a farm. Heroism is not scarce in this country, and plenty of women can still be found with courage sufficient to marry into servitude. Churning is a simple operation that requires a good deal of muscle, superhuman patience, and some little skin—not much. A very little will do if you are strong in the arms and not easily discouraged. About all you have to do is to grab hold of the dasher and pound the cream with unrelenting vigor. The rest can be left to nature. Success is certain, even though it may be a trifle slow at times. Nothing worth having can be had without hard labor, and good butter is certainly worth having, unless you have been raised in a boarding house and don’t know what it is. Therefore it is not an exception to the rule, and the longer it takes to churn the better the butter ought to be. But butter is sometimes like hope. It promises everything and turns out a sham at last. But this is not your fault. Charge it to the butter. It is strong enough to bear it, or if not, give it time and it will be.—Chicago Ledger.

Too Much Collar.

What a nuisance a collar is, to be sure! If the button on your neck-band does not come offm the process of adjustment—and sometimes it does not—even then the trouble is not over. On the contrary, it is only just begun. If yog do not pin down the sides, ten to one your collar will be climbing atop of the neck-band and keeping you in a continual fret all day long; and if you undertake to pin the stiff linen in place, you have got a struggle before you. You push and push, and the more you push the more persistently does the pin refusfe to penetrate. You throw pin No. 1 down with a casual remark, aud take up pin No. 2. No. 2 deceives you into believing that it is an honest pin. The point enters the linen with a charming docility, but, when you would drive it home, it doubles up into a fish-hook, and, with more casual remarks, you fling it after No. 1. You catch with desperation a third pin, and, giving it a savage push, drive it half-way up to the head into your thumb-or finger. Not to mention the pain that throbs through your lacerated digit, the fact that your collar is besmeared with blood, and that it must come off and you must begin operations de novo, is enough to complete your transition from a mild and gentle good citizen into a heartless villain. Yes, the collar is a nuisance, with everything pertaining to it. Boslow 7'ranstript. - . ; ( _ The ordinary dwellings of the Japanese are not firmly attached by foundations to the earth but rest loosely on squared stones or bowlders buried in the ground, the result of which is to partially prevent the transmission of momentum from earthqpakes. An

Englishman has made an improvement on this plan and rests the house at each of its piers upon a handful of cast-iron shot. These shot, of the size of buckshot, so increase the frictional resistance to rolling that the house is practically astatic, and the motion is in most earthquakes only about one-tenth of what it is outside.

The First Balloon Accident.

Pilatre de Hosier was born in 1757 at Metz. He and the Marquis d’Arlandes were ihq first human beings who ventured to ascend in a free balloon. He first conceived the idea of crossing to England, and chose this town as his starting point. .Pilatre and Romain drew up an agreement to attempt the crossing. The latter was to make a balloon of thirtythree feet diameter on the Montgolfier system. It was made of lustring, covered with a glutinous substance and several coats of linseed oil, which rendered it perfectly air-tight and waterproof. The aeronauts arrived at Boulogne with their apparatus on Dec. 20, 1784, inflated the balloon, and waited for a favorable breeze. In the meantime Blanchard and Jeffries crossed from Dover, thus taking away from the Frenchmen the honor of the first balloon voyage over the sea. However, after six months’ tedious, but patient waiting, they, on the 15th of June, 1785, decided to attempt the crossing, there being a good wind from the southwest. All being put in working order, the balloon rose to a great height, amid the cheers of the populace and a salute of artillery. But fifteen minutes had not elapsed when these shouts of joy were hushed. A vivid flash of light was seen, and the balloon shot down to the earth. The warming apparatus used to keep the great bag inflated had communicated with the gas and caused an explosion. Three miles from here is the small village of Wimille, which was the scene of the catastrophe. There the bodies of Pilatre and Romain, lying in a mangled state, were found, having fallen from a height of 1,000 yards. The remains were buried in the cemetery of Wimille, and a monument was raised over them. On the spot where they fell is erected an obelisk with a Latin inscription. To-day the Societe Academique of Boulogne witnessed the unveiling of a marble slab, let into the ramparts, to mark the point whence these two unfortunate men rose, and afterward a pilgrimage was made to the tomb at Wimille, upon which numerous wreaths were deposited.— Boulogne letter.

An English Soldier’s Pay.

_ An. English soldier, according _td the authority mentioned, is provided by the state with a uniform, including boots, renewed periodically, but he is often required to pay out of his own pocket for a new pair of trousers, serge frock or forage cap, while it is evident that his two pairs of boots annually are not sufficient, and the cost of additional boots and repairs to those which he possesses is defrayed by the man himself. He also, on enlistment, is furnished with a free kit of necessaries, comprising underclothing, knife, fork, and spoon, brushes, blacking, braces, ragor, towels, soap, etc. This kit he has to keep up at his own expense. It is plain from the above that the soldier is not clothed by the state. The result of this arrangement is constantly recurring stoppages, which often leave the soldier with only one penny a day pocket money, cause groat irritation and discontent, and are fruitful causes of desertion. Neither is he fed by the state, for all he obtains in the shape of rations is one pound of bread and three-fourths of a pound of meat daily. The balance, in the shape of groceries, vegetables, milk, etc., is defrayed out of the messing fund, for which fourpence a day is stopped from his pay. Tn addition, he is charged with washing at one halfpenny a day, hair-cutting a penny a month, and barrack damages, for which he is lucky if he gets off with a penny a month. If he belongs to the library the subscription is three-pence a month.

Rival Schools.

Dr. Scudbery, of the United States navy, has had a dreadful quarrel with his beautiful and accomplished young wife at San Francisco, because in his absence abroad she studied medicine, became a homocopathist, and undertook to cure the community of its ills and her own husband’s bad temper by sugar-coated pills. On his return from a cruise the Doctor found his graduated wife in a homeopathic dispensary attending a patient. The Doctor said: “So the pellet-peddling ignoramuses have roped you in, have they?” She replied : “Don’t be rude, my dear,” and proceeded to administer her little white panaceas. “You’re a quack!” roared the husband. “ You’re a butcher!” screamed his wife. And the little pellets divided them forever.—Philadelphia Times.

Something New in Cookery.

A gentleman seated behind a plate of beef and beans in one of the coffee and cake saloons on Park row said to .the waiter: “Bring me a" napkin.” ' “A what?” < “Napkin.” The waiter shook his head dubiously. . “I don’t believe we’ve got any,” he said, “but I’ll ask the boss. Perhaps he’ll send out for it. How do you want it cooked?” — New York Sun. Experiments in ostrich-farming in Victoria having proved successful, Queensland farmers are recommended to adopt the industry, for which the climate of their colony is peculiarly well suited. The Oape Government, probably to check Australian and Californian rivalry, have placed a duty of £IOO a pair on ostriches exported. This is a very fortunate circumstance for the pioneers of ostrich-farming in thq countries named, as it greatly increases the value of the birds which they breed. * A book called “Small Provocations” was tossed into our lap on a train the other day. We didn’t read it, but have no doubt it is another edition of “Little Women,” with a change of title.

A Daily Defalcation.

The Hon. John Kelly, the bead arid front of Tammany HSU, a man of strict integrity, an indefatigable worker, early at his office, Ute to leave, so burdened with business (that regular meals were seldom known by him, with mind in constant tension and energies stead Uy trained, finally broke down! The wonder is that he did net sooner give way. An honest man in all things else, he acted unfairly with his physical resources. He was ever drawing upon this bank without ever depositing a collateral. The account overdrawn, the bank suspends and both are now in the hands of medical receivers. It is not work that k.lls men. It is irregularity of hat its and mental worry. No man in good health frets at his work. Bye and bye when the bank of vigor suspends, these men will wonder how it all happened, and they will keep wondering uhtil their .dying day unless, perchance, some candid physician or interested friend will point out to them how by irregularity, by excessive mental effort, by constant worry and fret, by plunging in deeper than they had a. right to go, they have produced that loss of nervous energy which almost invariably expresses itself in a deranged condition of the kidneys and liver, for it is a well-known fact that the poison which the kidneys and liver should remove from the blood, if lett therein, soon knocks the life out of the strongest and most vigorous man or woman. Daily building up of these vital organs by so wonderful and highly reputed a specific as Warner’s safe cure, is the only guarantee that our businessmen can have that their strength will be equal to the labors daily put upon them. Mr. Kelly has nervous dyspepsia, we learn, indicating, as we have said, a break-down of nerve force. His case should be a warning to others who, pursuing a like course, will certainly reach a like result.— Sunday Her- =

Frauds in. Cigars.

“Now, there’s a cigar,” said a tobacco merchant whose firm handled more than a million dollars’ worth of cigars a year, “that has made a great reputation within the past year, and which is eagerly smoked by all good judges of cigars, and yet there is so much cheating done in this particular brand that fully two-thirds of the smokers are swindled. lam not surprised, either, that they do not find it out, as the cheating is very adroitly done. The price of the cigar to dealers is 22} cents, and yet you can buy the cigar, or what they pretend is the cigar, all over town for 25 cents. We will not retail them for less than 28 cents, because that gives us little enough profit. ” “Are all that are' sold for 25 cents bogus ?” “They are not the true imported brand, as a rule. Of course, there are occasional big hotels and restaurants that are content to handle them at a margin of two and a half cents. The fraud is effected in this way: Clerks or boys in the hotels or restaurants where the genuine brand is sold keep the boxes when they become empty and supply them at a fair cost—-say 50 cents apiece—to the small dealers. A domestic cigar is manufactured of the exact shape and color of the imported brand, and the box is filled with these domestic cigars. The box is genuine, and the cigars very much like the real thing. The dealer, by this little game, clears about thirteen cents on a cigar—a pretty tidy profit, and well worth the ruse even if it is a state prison offense.” “How can one detect the spurious one ?” "Only an expert can tell the difference in the make of the cigar at a glance, but if you look carefully at the date on the box it might give you a dew. For instance, I saw some cigars that were not over a week old the other day that were in a box labeled Oct; 12. The manufacturers on the other side are endeavoring to throw difficulties in the way of these fraudulent dealers by putting a peculiar glaze on their boxes. But the cigar thieves soon get a hold of the boxes, so what are they going to do about it ?”— New York Sun.

Fixing the Price of a Life.

I remember - upon one occasion that Boyton was called upon by the frantic cries for help of a man who had got beyond his depth, and plunged into the breakers, followed by a surf-boat. The treacherous undertow, setting strongly seaward, had caught the unfortunate swimmer, and he was being rapidly cars ried out of the reach of assistance. Boyton seized him just as he was about to sink for the last time, and had him hauled aboard the boat. The man was utterly exhausted, and it was nearly an hour before he was fully restored. He took dff his bathing suit, dressed him-self,-and then, with rare magnimity, took from his pocket a fifty-cent note (silver half-dollars were not as plentiful then as now), and handed it to Boyton, saying: “I owe you my life, sir, and I hope you will call upon me whenever you want a favor. Take this money and treat yourself and your assistants to a good stiff drink. You certainly must be chilled through.”' Boyton is of Irish extraction, and as quick-witted as.Philpot Curran. “I think you have made a mistake,” he said. “You put too much value upon your life. Permit me to give you your change,” and before the crestfallen miser knew what to reply Boy ton had thrust into his hand 49 cents in pennies, 2-cent pieces, and 10-cent notes. “I will keep this note as a souvenir of the value of a human life,” Said Paul, coolly putting it into his pocket. He has it to this day.— Cor. Philadelphia News. -**sr~*

New York Detectives.

The detectives of New York are a perpetual sohrce of mystery to men who are unacquainted with their ways. They receive a salary of abouf $1,600 and ' spend $6,000.' They dress well, wear diamond rings, and live on the fat of the land. In the first place, every detective of any consequence in New York has a big mustache. That is in itself a mystery. The average man of reasonably tender years spends at least four-fifths of his time in cultivating his mustache. He seldom or nev&r reaches the standard which the detectives of New York so successfully and admirably occupy. It has got so now that any man with a reasonably big mustache is set down as a detective at once by the average New Yorker. One of officers is detailed by Inspector Byrne at every theater in New York, there is another at all the big hotels, while still more appear to have roving commissions up and down Broadway.,— Brooklyn Eagle. “Man wants but little ear below,” remarked the pugilist, after biting off his opponent’s organ of hearing.

He Kept the Whole House Awake

Washington, D. C.-f Mr. F. O. McCleary, a prominent solicitor of patents of ibis city,, was troubled for seveial weeks wiih a severe cough, which not only deprived him of sleep but annoyed others. The only thing which did fiim any good, he says, was the new preparation Red Star Cough Cure, a purely vegetable compound, free from opiates, narcotics, or poisons of any kind. j

A Good Cup of Coffee.

“It is one of the simplest things in the world,” said Miss Corson in her lecture, “to make' a good cup of coffee, and this can be accomplished by applying a little common sense. If you put boiling water on coffee, and do not let it boil,” she continued, “you have all the good qualities preserved. One reason dyspeptics can not drink coffee is because it is boiled. The style of coffee pot is just a matter of fancy. I have made as good coffee from an old tomato can as I have ever sipped from a cup filled from the finest French coffee Urn. We should take lessons in this matter from the Turks and Arabians, who grind their coffee to a fine powder. “When the coffee is ground as fine as possible, put it in a little bag of unbleached muslin, which should be tied tightly enough to prevent the escape of the grounds. If you use a cup of unground coffee you can make over a quart of blackuoffee. In making coffee- many people sacrifice flavor for strength. Bitterness comes from boiling. When boiling water is placed on the bag of ground coffee it should stand at least three minutes before serving. Remember, the longer it stands the stronger it becomes. Be careful not to allow the watered coffee to boil. “A favorite mixture of coffee,” said Miss Corson, in answer to a lady in the audience, “is Mocha and Java, in the proportion of two parts of the latter, which is less expensive, to one of the former.”— Philadelphia News.

If Your Liver Reminds You

Of its existence by dull pain or sharp twinges in the right side, or beneath the dexter shoulderblade, accept the reminder as a warning, and regulate the organ without loss of time, by the use of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. The above symptoms are usually accompanied by yellowness of the skin, constipation, furred tongue, disorder of thestomach, slch headache and morning nausea. But a reform is promptly instituted by the Bitters, the best possible substitute for calomel, blue pill, and othei super-po-tent and hurtful drugs erroneously designated as remedies for biliousness. Appetite and digestion are restored, and the bowels resume activity. when an impetus is given to the functions of health by this sterling anti-bilious medicine, which also has the effect, of enriching and purifying the circulation, and fortifying the system against malarial infection in air or water. lt_Ts also highly beneficial for rheumatism, kidney and bladder troubles.

Chicago’s Month for Pie.

According to the statistical fiend, Chicago eats 300,000 pies a day, which, placed edge to edge, would make forty miles of pie. Three men and eight girls can make 3,000 pies a day. The ovens are kept running day and night. There are nineteen standard kinds of pie, but apple takes the cake. It leads everything else in winter, and in summer sells steadily, though of course, not so largely after berries come in. It Is lucky for the manufacturers that it is so, as their profits are larger on apple pie than on any other that they make. In winter mince stands next to apple. Americans eat more pie than foreigners, but the men from New England take the lead in eating pie. Pie and milk is their favorite lunch. Pies can be made for about seven cents apiece in quantities.

Hats.

It is a singular historical fact that the soft hat of the Spaniard remained the same from the earliest pe-. riod to the present day, while among all other civilized nations a transformation in that article has taken place. Comfort in the wear seems to have given place at all times to fancy and the demand's of fashion.

Never Open Your Mouth

except to put something to eat into it, is an excellent motto for the gossip and the sufferer from catarrh. But while the gossip is practically incurable, there is no excuse for any one’s suffering longer from catarrh. Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy is an unfailing cure for that offensive disease. It heals the diseased membrane, and removes the dull and depressed sensations which always attend catarrh. A short trial of this valuable preparation will make the sufferer f«el like a new being. If there had been another woman and a lawyer in the garden of Eden, Eve would have probably got a divorce add married the devil. ' J

Mr. Abram Ellsworth, of Port Ewen, Ulster County, N. Y„ had realized this truth. His disease involved' the whole o£ his thigh-bone, and the suffering man looked forward, not without apparent reason, to death as his only deliverer. The family physicians refused to amputate the limb, asserting that the operation would kill the patient on the spot. Dr. David KENNEDY, of Rondout, N.Y., who was consulted, held a different opinion and amputated the Umb. The Doctor then administered freely his great Blood Specific, FAVORITE REMEDY, to afford tone and strength to the system and prevent the return of the disease, and Mr. Ellsworth remains to thia day in she bloom of health.
