XA Story of an Intention.
It nan? not be gcnernll j known thai
an important invention in connection
with the manufacture of carpets origi
b&tedas follows i An operative wearer,
in one of the largest establishments iu
this country. & engaged in weaving
a carpet that in its finished stage would
appear as a velvet pile. At that period
thin description of carpet wa woven
much in the manner of Brussels, the
loops being afterward cut by hand a
slow and eostlyjprocess. These Ioop3
are fwiiued by the insertion of wires of
the requisite thickness to form the
loop; they lire then withdrawn. This
weaver, whether by cogiation or as the
mstilt of a bright thought came to the
conc lusion that if these wires were so
constructed as, on being withdrawn, to
cut the loops, thus instantly completing
the formation of the pile, it would be
a great saving of labor and time, and
a great economy. Taking one of the
rods, he changed its lonn to the re
quired sh.ipe, "ground a knife edge
upon it, took it to his looms, and in
serted it into the web all the while
maintaining strict sccresy and with ,
some degree cf excitement watched its i
weaving down until the moment for ;
its withdrawal. This enme, the rod :
v as drawn out, the loops were cut, and !
the experiment was a perfect success,
the pile being cut with great evenness.
The weaver, with a shrewdness often
wanting in inventors, doubled up the
rod and hid it a way, wove down the
line of cut loops upon the roll, then
' knocked o(T," or stopped his loom,
mid proceeded to theoflice of the mill,
where he demanded to see the princi
pal. The clerk demurred to this, ask
ing if he himself could not do all that :
whs required ; but no, the w eaver per
sisted. Then the manager tried, but
with thesame result : only the principal
would unit the weaver. The principal
was informed of the operative's per
sistence in determining to see him, so ;
he at once ordered hi in to be admitted.
This was done and the weaver stepped 1
into the well furnihe.l and handsomely
caieted oflice of the manufacturer.
His emplo. er addressed him: "Well,;
John," (for so we w ill call him) "what j
is it yvu want "Well, rnaister, I've '
get ten suinmut yo mun hev," replied
John. "Wodn't yo like a way ut
makkin V loom cut th' velvet piles?'
continued the weaver. "Yes ! that I
would V replied the employer ; "and I j
will reward any man handsomely who j
brings me a plan of doing it," added
lie. "Awni yare moti. then," said the .
operative. "Wod'll yo gi' me?" he'
further asked. After some further
conversation a bargain was struck, and .
a sum agreed upon, which the weaver j
should be entitled to claim in the event 1
of his plan for automatically cutting
- the pile of the carpet being a success.
Arrangements were made for the trial;
the weaver made hi3 preparations; the j
master, the manager, and one or two i
confidential employes gath'ered around '
. the loom upon which the experiment
. Lad to be made, all others being sent
out f the range of observation. The
' lie t lorn of .vires wcie inserted, woven
down, and withdrawn, leaving a well j
cut pile upon the fce of the carpet.
The weaver had won his reward, ami it ,
was honorably paid. An annuitv o i
100 was settled upon him, which he '
continued to enjoy until withfn a recent
date, and for any thing we know to the
contrary may be enjoying yet. He i
retired Irotn the weaving shed, deter
mined to spend the rest of his days in .
case and comfort. His employer ee- j
' cured by patent the benefits of "his in- :
vention, it being one, among several
othe's, which contributed to place that
manufacturing establishment in the
foremost rank in the trade, while its
owne.-s attained wealth and social em
inence as the reward of their prudent
eutcrprisc. Textile JLinufacturcr.

native paper now used are not neat ly
ij"o'.i tiivsu i vniien ine om ians (
. were made, and, in consequence, the
style of manufacture has had to be
changed. Instead of first pasting the
two faces of the fan together and then '
running in pointed ribs, the ribs are j
square and are pasted in their places
iu the manner described above. The
outside lacquered pieces and the fai cy
work are all done in Osaka and Kioto,
and sojc of the designs in gold lacquer
on bone are really artistic ; but the :
demand for the highly ornamented
description of fans is not sufficient to
encourage the production of large
quantities of first cls work. When
the inides are dry, the riveting of the J
pieces together, including the outer
covering, is rapidly clone, and a clash
of varnish quickly finishes the fan j
The highest price that was ever given
. for a fan in the dajs of seclusion from
tLe outer wrld rarely exceeded a sov-
ereign; but since the arrival of for-'
eigners in the country, some few have
been iaade to order at prices varying
from 2 ,: 3. The general prices of ,
ordinary Tins range troin 2 to 3 shil
lings to 3 per hundred, though an
extraordinarily expensive fan is turned
out at 10 per hundred. The sale of
fans in olden times, seldom exceeded
10,000 a year for the whole country ;
but in rcccitjcars no less than 3,00u,
000 per annum have boort exported
from the ports of Osaka and Yokohama
alone. In concluding these biief rfotvs
it liny be interesting to mention that
the number of tans ordered in Japan
for the centennial exhibition at Thila
' dflplua-'reac'ijedT'tlrs -farge 'Gguie of
00,000. the estimated cost of which
was 10.000, and that these were over
anl above the ordinary annual expoit
'alluded to before.; Chambers' Journal:
When bad, rainy weather comes so
you can't work out of doors, advises
an exchange, cut, split and haul your;
wood, make your racks, fix your fen
ces or gat-s, and patch the roof of your

Feeding ior Meat. The Boston
' Journal of Chenjfstry says that poor
' animals consist pf about two-thirds
water, while fat ones are only one-half,
i in the total weight, and compares poor
! animals to bog meadows. ' It adds,
tbat w hen the fattening process begins
water commences to disappear, and
fat or suet takes its plape; and the in
crease in bulk during the process is
largely of adipose matter. It is a
curious circumstance that, during the
fattening, the proteids or nitiogenous
compounds, increase only about 7 per
cent., and bone m.erials, or inorganic
substance, only i'per cent.
The cost to a farmer of fattening an
ox is much greater at the close of the
process than at the commencement;
that is, increase in bulk or diy weight
at that jH'iiod is much more costlv.
It costs 3 cents a pound for hulk for
the first month after a poor ai.inod ir
put in the fattening stall; it will cost 5
cents the last month. If, then, a tr
mer consult his money interests, he

a)(j observation, and hence comiara-
tively lean beef aboundsincur markets :
While
this is of advantage to the
farmer, it is verv disadvantageous to
the consumers of the Ik-cI, for the flesh
of a fat animal inieveiy case is much
I richer infixed nourishing material than
that ol the lean, and it is never good
economy to purchase lean beef. It is
i better to purchase; the poorest part of
j a fat aniu.al than the best of a lean
1 one. The best piece of a fat ox (the
loin) contains from twentv one to
i twenty eight per cert, more fixed ma-
tetial than the corresponding part of a
! lean one; and curiously enough the
s worst piece in the lean animal (the
neck) is the richest in nourishing ma
terial. The flesh of the neck improves
; very little in fattening, hence, economy
j considered, it is ihe best portion to
i purchase, as its value in a measure is
' a fixed one.
The l?F.na of ANTiQi:iTY.-J!About
j the earliest data that we have concern
ing beds are of Egyptian origin, and
tliev are very flight. !Sir Gardiner
' Wilkinson thinks that the Egyptians
j usna.'ly felept on their day conches,
which were long ami straight, sorne
j times with a back, sometimes with
! carving of the beads and feet of animals
at the ends, made of bronze, of alabas
ter, of gold ami ivory, of inlaid wood,
and richly cushioned. Where these
.vcre not in use, mats replaced them,
or low pallets made of palm boughs,
; vith a wooden pillow hollowed out for
i the head. What Egypt had, the As
syrian ami ll e rest of the world had ;
and the Greek, whenever he could,
improved upon other countries' no
tions; and the Greek couch, judging
from the bas reliefs on many vases,
were of great elegance. The Romans,
although receiving so many of their
customs and so much of their art from
(i recce, had very simple beds until
after their Eastern conquests. Indeed
beds which, with their pillows, were
merely hollows in a slab of stone, have
j Iteen found among Iloman lemains.
; But from the period when tiieir Asiatic
dominion increased, the lionuns bor
rowed fashions from the cono. tiered.
a
and they developed a strong taste for ;
luxuiy, especially in the matter of,
beds. Examples of the Iloman form
of bed wie still preserved in the days i
oi uitariemagne. In the meantime, ot
course, in the barbaric life of Xortht i n
and Western Europe, these forms
: generally being lost, it was an advance
in civilization when the bench became
the led, and people were fastidious
enough at last to feel above sleeping

Muscular Power in Ueetles.
Mr. Gosse relates the following anec
dote of a time horned beetle, which is
not larger thin the ordinary English
Ptag beetle: "This insect has just
astonislud me by a proof of its vast
strength of body. When it was first
brought to nfc, having no box imme
diately at hand, 1 was at a loss where
to put it until 1 could kill it; but a
quart bottle lull of milk being on the
table, I clapped the beetle for the
present under, that, the hollow at the
bottom allowing him room to stand
upright. Presently, to ray surpr se,
the Sottle beiran to move lo,xlv. and
, , j glide abmg the smooth table, propelled

'" i 'fjiierl -irrwctud continued for "some
time to perambulate the smlace, to
the astonishment of all who witnessed
it. The weight of 'the bottle and its
contents could not have been less than
three pounds Jmd si half, while that of
the licet I e was about half an ounce, so
Hi fit it readily moved a weight one
hundred and t twelve times exceeding
its own. A better notion than figures
can convev 4 ill be obtained of this
leat by -supposing a lad of fifteen to be
