OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES,
aomo of (lie Pool’s Brilliant and
Willy Sallies.
Discussing the late Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, an eminent Frenelnnan
once said tluil ll. was ho who had
tuuglil, the. Yankees to laugh. The
poet's wit was sueli as put everyone
around him In (lie best of humor,
nays an exchange.
ll was Holmes who said that al
though it, was Kve wlm tempted man
to eat he had an Idea that she hud
nothing to do with Ids drinking, for
ho undoubtedly look to that on Ids
own uccouut. Thou, the poet re
moved Ids eigur from Ids lips and
remarked:
"I really must not smoke so per
sistently. I must turn over anew
leaf—a tobacco leaf—and have u
cigar only after each"—and as most
of those present Imagined ho was
about to say “meal," hocontlnued—
“after eueli eigur." Loaning hack
In his chair, lie added: “A foreigner
Is an alien; n foreigner who drinks
too much is nu ticehahian; ami why
should lint a foreigner who smokes
too much he called a tohiiccomiliaiiV"
When dining with Lord Coleridge
the subject of lawyers eamo up and,
referring to the American man of
Hie bar, Holmes said that the pover
ty of the American lawyer and tin;
wealth of Ida client, was Ids glory.
On another occasion Mrs. Siddons
was being discussed mid some one
said that the statesman Fox had
been smil ton by the great actress.
To this the poet replied by saying
that from all lie hud heard of her ho
could not understand a man falling
in love with her. His reason was
that she was so grand that a man
might ns well fall in love with the
pyramids. She might have been
loved by the worshipful com puny of
coachmakers or a hoard of aldermen,
hut it was beyond the range of pos
sibility that one man could ever love
her.
After ho had been lionized by a
delegation of westerners, some one
asked him.how lie liked it. “Like
it?" he said; “I felt like the small
elephant at the Zoo with a cheap
excursion party on Ids hack."

OUR. PROGRESS.

"It would he possible tq-duy to
put logs of wood Into one end of u
factory and to take out from the
other end a printed hook, stitched
and ready for the eovera, without a
single human hand touching Ilia
fabric of tin; paper from the begin
ning to Ihu end of the process.” So
writes lad ward Atkinson in tlio
United States of America. lie is
discussing the progress of tlio indus
trial arts and looking forward to
what wo may expect to see at tlio
next, industrial exposition. Of prog
ress in tlie most primitive of all civ
ilized industries, tho cultivation of
lho soil, ho says:
The beginning of civilization lias
sometimes been fixed at the date,
whenever it. may have been, when
man set, apart a lot of land, fenced
it in or appropriated it and then ap
plied the force of a domesticated tyi-
imnl to ids aid in tlio production of
food. One can imagine, how it was
at the very beginning, when some
one harnessed a bullock to a pointed
stick, attached by a cord to the
horns, beginning to plow.
That primitive method of plowing
still survives in some parts of the
world. The fellaheen of Egypt
could hi> brought to an exposition,
who still muke use of the appliances
of agriculture that are pictured
upon the walls of the pyramids, and
from the pointed stick, which may
tie taken as an exampleof the begin
ning of civilization itself, tlio whole
development of the mechanism of
agriculture could hu brought before
the eye in one building.
The hist, example might, lie a great
combined machine that lias been ap
plied by its inventor in the valley of
the San Joaquin river of California
to the production of wheat. By
means of tills mechanism the wheat
Held is plowed, harrowed, seeded
and rolled down in a single process,
the autumn ■ ■ plows are de-
the wheat into bags in a single
operation.
The cost of the labor of man which
is applied to the direction of this
mechanism is less Ilian $1 an acre in
each year. The whole cost of the
labor, aside from the maintenance
of llic capital, is less than 4 cents on
a bushel of wheat. The product for
300 days' labor of one man, corre
sponding to a year’s work, lias been
in some seasons over 1,500 bushels.
The wheat is carried to the sea
board, loaded upon steamships and
moved to London to feed tlio hungry
workmen of Great Britain, whose
customary loaf, called the quartern
loaf, weighs four pounds. There Is
no coin in existence in Great Britain
small enough to stand as a symbol
of the labor cost—the proportionate
part of the wages paid in California
—of producing wheat enough for
that quartern loaf. There is hut
one coin in use in Great Britain, and
that is seldom seen—the farthing—
which would represent the cost of
moving tlio wheat, required for each
quartern loaf from the field in Cal
ifornia half way around the globe to
the market In London.

“Yes," sighed the Hammock, regret
fully, “it. whs my fault that those
sweet young people fell out."
“Never mind," rejoined the lUeyelo
limit for Two, with a merry little
twinkle in Its nickel-plated spokes, "I
shall see to it that they are much
thrown together."
Tims again a compensatory juxtapo
sition of natural forces was estab
lished.-— Detroit Tribune.
