Rouivca, I • The total capital invested in 1887 in tho Lr'irUen Southern Ktnto< is greater by 497,574,500 than during 188 G. Ala bama shows the largest inireivc, with Tennessee aeeond. 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 would thm lx- arre’ti d. ” 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.

Over 300 people in Rome, Mich., had the mumps at the same time. Cairo in Egypt was founded in 973 by th'- first of the Fatimite caliphs. Saladin surrounded it with strong wallsand mag nificent gates. Six thousand houses were thrown down, 30,000 inhabitants killed, and a conflagration kindled, which spread still wider destruction, by the terrible earth quakein Lisbon in 1755. The first auction ever held was in Great Britain in 1700, when Elishur, a Governor of Fort George, in the East Indies, publicly sold the goods he had brought home to the highest bidder. 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 new trade for women in Albany is that of “neighborhood darner." The woman who follows it has for her cus tomers a dozen or twenty households, each of which she visits weekly, and spends a few hours in doing up the family darning and mending. 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 prietors has just sold 115 lots to one purchaser, and the old town site is con verted into farming land. A Frenchman recently rode into Waterville, Me., driving a big New foundland dog hitched to a small two whecled cart, which the animal had hauled inside of three days from a town in Canada, a distance of about 150 miles. The owner said the dog could outstrip in a day’s journey the best of horses. Haroun al liaschid, in 803, sent to Charlemagne, among other presents from Bagdad, a clock of curious workman ship. The first clock with a balance was made by DeVick in 1304, and the first with a pendulum in 1041. Watches with springs were first made at Nuremberg, about' 1477, but the first successful ap- S’ication of a spring to watches was by r. Hooke, in 1658. 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.— Medical Journal. ■ULJ LU..

DODGE’S C.C. C.C. 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 ■ will do all that is claimed font. Bead the fol | lowing testimonial : STATE OF GEORGIA, Department of Agriculture. Atlanta, Ga., March 19, 1887 To the Public: The high character of the testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together with his well known reputation for truth and veracity, afford convincing evidence of the high value of the Chicken Cholera Cure he is ■ now offering upon the market.
