The I’hiladelphia Ledger says
many inventions arc made by workmen
in the course of their daily duties, using
the time nud material of their employers
in the iiauul course of experiments nec
e- ary to the application of u new idea.
When afterward the invention turns out
to !«• a thing of value, ora dispute arises
la fwei n the inventor and his employer,
the patent frequently becomes the sub
ject of litigation which is very difficult
to determine with anything approaching
exact justice. The Supreme Court of
Wisconsin having a case of this kind
before it, decided in favor of the work
man. it held as u guiding principle that
it is the conception in the perfected ma
chine, not the material, workmanship, or
skill employed in working out, that con
stitutes the invention, and hence that
th<‘ workman who suggested the idea is
the lawful owner of tho invention,
Whether this decision will simplify the
settlement of future disputes may be
questioned, for the application of the
principle in many < uses of inventions
that grow up in a shop would be exceed
ingly difficult; but it is founded upan
plain reason and justice.
In the mine of the Lackawanna Iron
and Coal Company at Ncranton, Pa., has
occurred within the last thirty years a
remarkable instance of the formation of
mineral coal out of an abandoned wooden
prop, A miue bail been sealed to ex
tinguish afire that could not well be got
nt, and was not opened till about two
years since, when it was found still
smouldering, and the tire broke out
afresh on the admission of air. By flood
ing, etc., extinction was accomplished,
and in working through lire debris a prop
was found of which the lower half was
well-preserved wood. Above this for
some distance it had become very soft
charcoal that crumbled at the touch.
This shaded oIT into very hard charcoal,
and nt the top, whore great pressure had
occurred, the post had changed into a
substance closely resembling mineral
coal, and the change was even more
strongly marked in the wooden wedge
that had be n diiven between the top
of the prop and the roof rock. In this,
while the fibrous structure was distinct,
the cross fracture was sharp and conch
oidal like that of anthracite, the color
jet black and the lustre like glass.
The Philadelphia Iheortl discourses
about the cholera in this way: “Cholera,
which has its permanent home in India,
has shown no s : gn of its existence, and
the more dieadlul plague of yellow fever,
which belongs to this hemisphere, has so
far barely touched us at the Florida Keys.
Science has long since m.intained that
Asiatic cholera has its origin in the lilthy
habits of the swarming populations of
the East, ami experience Ins amply de
monstrated th ■ truth of the theory. The
greatest ravages of the disease and its
most fre pient recurrences have taken
place in regions the inhabitants of w hich
have ignorantly or wilfully disregarded
all sanitary precautions. Filth in the
air they breathe and in the water they
drink has generated in the crowded cities
of India the fatal germs of a disease
which, in its devastating march, has slain
millions of men. But the conditions
favorable to the development of cholera
and mic diseases sometimes exist
in civilise- I cities far romite from the
East. Populations that are provided
with pure water, with good drainage,
and the other means for carrying otl
accumulations of tilth and garbage, have
little cause to fear epidemic attack’.
Now is the time when the public au
thorities in all our seaboard towns, ami
the people themselves, should use the
greatest vigilance so as to remove and
destroy every foul agency tb it might
propagate unhealthy conditi ms. bhould
the germ of Asiatic cholera lx- wafted
across the sea* its destroying power

MR. BOWSER’S ECONOMY.
HE PURCHASES FOOD SUPPLIES
FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
IMMatUfacllon With Mrs. Bowser's
Domestic Administration Results
In a Three Days' Experiment.
After supper the other evening Mr.
Bowser pulled a lot of statements of ac
count from bis pocket with great gravity
of demeanor, and spreading them out on
the center table he said:
“Mrs. Bowser, do you see these?”
“I do.”
“Do you know what they are?’
“Why. they arc the monthly accounts
from the grocer’s.”
“Oh. they are! Well, I should say so!
Do yon know w hat this family has de
voured, wasted, and given to the Poln ks
in the last month?”
“I know that we have been very
economical.”
“Doyon? The grand footing is 404,
Mrs. Bowser - over 415 per week for a
family of four, und one of them a baby
and the other a hired girl with the dys
pepsia! lam no miser, but I pronounce
this an outrage.”
‘ But J haven't ordered anything ex
tra, ami I've tried to be very careful to
buy close.”
•’•Mrs Bowser, it’s your poor buying
ami poor management. You don't know
any more about running a house than I
do of bossing astcamlxiat. Either that,
or ehe grocers arc swindling me, and I
won’t stand it. Hereafter I shall do all
the buying.
I gave the cook orders to tell him w hat
she wanted, and the next morning Mr.
Bowser entered u|>on his duties. The
first purchase made was a bushel of pota
toes from a peddler in front of the house.
He gave 41.10, and told the man where
to carry them. When he came home to
dinner the cook had to tell him:
“I put that bushel of potatoes into
three pecks ami then cut up the whole
lot to get good ones enough for dinner.
The first thing to come up from the
grocery was a consignment of ten cans
of pumpkin. This was followed by fifty
pounds of evaporated apples and 100
dozen clothes-pins. As nothing further
appeared the rook boiled some potatoes,
made a pumpkin pic and stewed some
of the apples. When we went out to
dinner Mr. Bowser looked around in as
tonishment.
“What does this mean?” he finally de
manded.
“Why, it’s all you sent.”
He couldn’t gainsay that, and by and
by he explained that he had saved fully a
dollar and a half on his purchases by buy
ing in such quantities.
“You paid ten cents per can for pump
kin, while I got the lot for seven,” he
went one. “Thirty cents isn’t so very
much, but it is as good tome as to the
grocer.”
“Yes, but I bought about one can a
month. You have enough here to last us
three years.”
“Well, I saved forty cents on the ap
ples!” he protested.
“We have used just two pounds in the
last six months, Mr. Bowser. At that
rate you have laid in a supply for two
years.”
There was a look of terror in his eye i,
and he dared not proceed to clothes pins
nor say a word about the potatoes.
I went down with him the next morn
ing, and ns w e halted in front of a gro
cery he called out:
“Say, Green, a roast for dinner—two
quarts strawberries—und—yum say, a
head of cabbage.”
When we had driven away he said to
me:
‘•We were just eleven seconds in front
of that grocery. You'd come down here
and fool away half an hour to give the
same order. You've got to be right up
and down business with these fellows.”
When we came to sit down to dinner
we hn<l roast pork and straw berries and
boiled cabbage.
“I want to know what this means!”
exclaimed Mr. Bowser as he shoved back.
“This is what you ordered, dear, and
it didn't take but eleven seconds. You
didn't specify the sort of roast you
wanted, and you didn't tell the cook
whether you w anted the cabbage boiled,
fried or baked. You are running the
kitchen now, you know?”
He swallowed a few mouthfuls, tried
hard to change the subject, and after
dinner he went into the kitchen and said
to the girl:
•'Hannah, 1 waut sweet cake, tarts,
hot biscuits, raspberries and chipp 'd beef
for supper.”
"Very well, sir.”
“I'll send up everything as I go down.”
"Yes, sir.
About mid-afternoon a grocer’s wagon
delivered a pound of cloves, a pound of
cinnamon and ft beefsteak. When Mr.
Bowser came home to suppy the cook
called him into the kitchen ami said :
"Did you bring the baker's bread, sir.'”
"Why. no. 1 told you we'd have hot
biscuit."
"But I've no flour.”
"Then why didn't yon say o?”
“The missua always asks me, nd you
didn't say a w ord. The lard .s also
out.”
"But the beef?”
"I can't chip a raw beefsteak, sir.
They probably mi'iinderstoorl your or
der."
"And the tarts?”
"I had nothing to make 'em of, and
in this country we don't make sweet cake
of i loves and cinnamon. Where's them
raspberries' ’
"I- I forgot ’em !’’
Mr. Bowser hid the beefsteak, ami I
worked away on the evaporated apples
and a remnant of the pumpkin pie.
When we retired to the sitting-room Mr.
Bowser did some hard thinking for
awhile, and thru observed:
"Mrs. Bowser, vou are a very poor
buyer."
"1 presume so.”
•‘And a very extravagant woman?'’
"Yes, dear.”
"But. nevertheless, 1 cannot permit
you t > shirk the responsibilities of a wife
and a helpmeet. I've gone ahead for tho
last three days and shown you that this
house <an be run with half the trouble
and expense you have Ken to, ami now
I turn it over to you again. I think you
w ill a<s ent tin' !• sson.”
I did. 1 -aw by the bills afterward
that it ('St him n’mosi 4H for three days,
and we are hold eg most of the stuff yet

If a Chinaman desires the death of an
enemy he goes and hangs himself upon
his neighbor’s door. It is a sure cure to
kill not only that particular enemy, but
members of his entire family will be in
jeopardy of losing their lives.
When a Chinaman desires a visitor to
dine with him he does not ask him to do
so, but when he does not wish him to
stay he puts the question: “Oh, please
stay and dine with me!” The visitor
will then know he is not wanted.

A few years ago Wilton was one of the
most flouishing villages in Minnesota. A
railroad built through that section left
the village at one side, and now the
place is dead. One of its original pro

purchaser, and the old town site is con
verted into farming land.
A Frenchman recently rode into
Waterville, Me., driving a big New

hauled inside of three days from a town

The owner said the dog could outstrip in
a day’s journey the best of horses.
Haroun al liaschid, in 803, sent to

S’ication of a spring to watches was by

Music in China.
Th- Chinese play to-day just as they
did 2,000 years ago, says H. E. Krehbiel
The art as it was then has been
petrified ‘‘by a fantastic system of mental
philosophy and an adamantine conserva
tism.” So that in considering the con
dition of the musical art in China to-day
we have nn actual sight of what was the
system and practice at the time of Plato.
The refinement in this knowledge of
music is mostly on its metaphysical side.
The Chinese sages could and do publish
doctriue touching music which is golden
doctrine in the art of to-day, but the
sounds they produce are a din in which
traces of order and of melodious sequence
are not discernible except by a very
patient and a very well trained ear. A
barbarism rests on the music still, and to
add to the many paradoxes which the
Chinese hold before us, they concede that
the art of to-day is a degenerate one,
but speak with pride of one now lost
which flourished at a time when Greece
was yet shrouded in pre-historic gloom,
Sensations of the Dying.
It is doubtless the case that in many
instances —and perhaps they are the ma
jority—dying persons lapse gradually
into an unconsciousness that ends their
bodily pain, and saves them from the
anguish of the final parting with those
they leave behind. It is not uncommon,
however, for clearness of comprehension
to persist to the last, and perhaps it is
still more common for some of the special
serses to preserve their activity. We
think it was Ernst Wagner who, in his
“General Pathology,” dwelt particularly
on tho preservation of the sense of hear
ing in many cases long after the apparent
occurrence of unconsciousness, and who
tenderly cautioned his readers that this
possibility should be born in mind.—

Certain Chicken Cholera Cure.
Eight years ofcarcful experiment and pains- |
taking research have resulted in the disco-< ry :
of an infallible specific for the cure and pre |
vention of that most fatal and dreaded enemy
of the feathered tribe—f’holera. After the
fullest and fairest tests possible, in which ev< rv
claim for the remedy was fullv substantiated, |
the remedy was placed upon the maniet, and
everywhere a single trial has been all that was
required to prove it a complete success, llw
directions for its use are plain and simple, and
the cost of the remedy so small that the saving
of a single fowl will repay the expense. Its
effect is almost magical. If the remedy is
; given as directed, the course of the disease is
shipped at once. Given occasionally as a pre
i icntive, there need be no fear of Cholera,
which annually kills more fowls than all other
diseases combined. It is true to name, a Cer
tain .Cure for Chicken Cholera. No poultry
raiser or farmer can afford to be without it. It
