The helicoid anemometer is said to

By placing tw'o iron bars at seven or

Somo very industrious students of

tee unanimously reports that, notwith
standing the labor expended, the
point is not proved—the parasites are
not demonstrated.
The Letter as a Mascot,
i s the letter “J,” like the letter
“E,” so indispensable that it is as dif
ficult to find a list of names without
the former appearing in it as it is to
find a complete sentence in which the
latter does not occur? Is the above
the cause of its frequent appearance
in the names cf America’s great men,
or is it really a mascot letter?
Beginning with our Presidents I find
it as the first initial letter in the names
of eight; the only President of the
Confederacy also began his name with
the “little mascot.” In the list o£
the Vice-Presidents I find it six times,
divided equally between the Christian
and the surnames. Among the names
of the Presidents pro tem of the Sen¬
ate it occurs twenty-two times, and
among the Speakers of the House four¬
teen times. Thirteen of the Secre
taries of State commenced their first
names with “J,” and one used it as
the initial of his surname. In the
realm of Justice the record is
if not more startling, twenty-one out
of a total of fifty-five Chief Justices
and Justices beginning either their
first or last name with it. Besides tho
above we find it in nearly all the mul¬
timillionaires of the country, viz : John
D. Rockefeller, J. J. Astor.Jay Gould,
J. M. Bears, J. S. Morgan, J. B. Hag

First American Sieaui Locomotive.
After one has spent a day viewing
the splendid railway exhibit at Chic¬
ago’s great Fair, or even the showing
made at our own Exposition, it is dif¬
ficult for him to realize that every¬
thing relating to that branch of in¬
dustry is the result of but sixty years’
labor. All the giant strides that have
been made in the railway enterprise
of America have been brought about
within the memory of many men and
women who daily walk the streets of
St. Louis, In 1831 the railway (?)
connecting Albany with Schenectady,
N. Y., had less than a dozen cars, each
dra\vn by two horses! Later on, in
1832, I believe, locomotive engines
were introduced, but as the railway
ran up and down hill, just as the
wagon roads of to-day, the locomotives
had to be assisted by stationary en¬
gines, thus making double expense.
The very first steam locomotive
constructed in America was made by
the Kembles Company of West street,
New York, in 1830-31. This pidneer
American “triumph of the mechanic’s
art” was shipped by sailboat from the
manufacturer’s rhops to Charleston,
S. C., where it was put together and
first used on a short freight road be
the city last named and a small place

Smallness Extraordinary.
At the London fair of 1745 William
Mossman, a jeweler, exhibited a Bhell
of a common Barcelona nut contain¬
ing a tea table, tea board* a dozen
cups and saucers, a sugar dish, a bot¬
tle, a funnel, 15 drinking cups, 5
punch boAvls, 10 rummers, a pestle and
mortar and two sets of ninepins, all
of polished ivory. Boveriek, a rival
tradesman, soon afterward’ outdid the
genius of his fellow craftsman. This
lust named artist exhibited the half
of a common cherry stone, from
which he would take a table, 12
chairs with skeleton backs, a mirror
neatly framed, two dozen soup plates, 6
saucers, 12 spoons and a dozen knvies
and forks, 2 salt cups and figures of
lady and gentleman, whom he seated
at the table.
Doyle, the antiquarian, says: “This
same Boveriek also made an ivory cam¬
el. perfect in all its parts, so small
thatAt could easi£/ beypassed through
the eye of a commop sewing need)©;
also six pairs of scissors so small that
they could all be hidden under the
wing of a fly, and a gold chain of 200
links, to which a miniature padlock a ad
key were welded, yet all were of such
minute dimensions that upon bei a g at¬
tached to a flea the insect could © asily
drag them to and fro across a pane
of glass.”— St. Louis Republic.
Not a Happy Lot.

Friend—“You are a good shot,
can pick him off with perfect safety
right from this window.”
Editor—“Huh! If you were run¬
ning this paper you’d soon be bank¬
rupt. If I should kill him I’d lose a
subscriber .”—New York Weekly.

and efficacy. You find what you want
these little liver pills of Dr. Pierce. They’re
put up in a better way, and they act in a

The General Farmer.
For tho general farmer, general
rather than special crops will bring
the best results. Where special crops
are depended on there must bo a special
fitness in the cultivator; hut any man
who understands the general, princi¬
ples of agriculture should be able to
grow a variety of crops with fair suc¬
cess, selecting such as are best suited
to his soil. With these a variety of
stock should be kept, turning as large
a portion of the crops as possible into
marketable commodities through that
medium. Wool and mutton are good
means to this end. A colt each year
will be of further help. Pigs turn corn
into money very quickly. None of these
should be neglected, and the crops
should be sown with special refference
to them.— Plowman.
