for fv-n so small an amount as 1, and
5 cents, ami stations w;re established
at the ten ditferent braneh ofiioes of
the society for -arryin out the plan.
So jtopular did the work Ik-coiuo that
outside ivryanLwitions. were allowed to
come in from the churches, the inissiorts,
the industrial schools, and the working
"iris" clulis, until then? are now 1'2S sta
tions of deposit, r.Ur!'. depositfirs, and
SlO.-liH.O.I on deposit in the different
stations. There are no hired clerks iu
these stations, the work all Ihmii"; il.me
by voluntary charity. The depositor
are ipiite fairly divided Ik'Uvvi chil
dren and rrown people, and. th.f'.l it
is the desire of the siK-iety that all ac
counts of ST shall le transferred to the
savings banks, many poor people refuse
to take out their money.
The plan of the work resembles that
so loiiK" practiced in Kn-fland: 1, 5, 10,
2.", anil RO cent and -1 stamps are sold
to the depositors, pasted in the little
book (riven to each person, and remain
the (ruarantee of the amount due until
it is needed and drawn out airain. When
S5 or $10 accumulates the depositors are
helped to open an account in a saving's
bank, anil the I nitcd States and West
side savin" banks have placed the
stamps ou Mil.- at one of their windows
where sumr. of 1 cent up will In received,
and as soon as ?! is accumulated the de
positor will receive a rcj.'ular p;isslook.
This work necessitates the addition of
only one clerk, and it is hoped that oth
er banks will take it up.
One jxMir woman succeeded in saving
about ?.- in this way, and when her
husbaud deserted her a short time a)
she was able to start lodo-ino-s w ith the
f ii nd.
A little "irl whose father is very in
teinivrate meets him every pay-day 1 Hi

the money she can from him. This she
divides amono- 1,,-r little brothers and

lonr a ";o the father. throii"h. int-mKT-ame.
was disclv"vd from his work,
and the money tlm-. accumulated by the
children paid tbe rent until h new sit
uation could be found.
Another little fir lias nianai'd to
save ciionirh in H'iinies and nicki'ls to
pay for bavin;,' hi-r father! jfrave put in
order.
The workinff ""irl.s" clubs are some of
the largest contributors, one club alone
havinp rais-ii .MM1 in the la-t year.
Much of the money is drawn out at
t'hristiiias and dunn" the riiiuiiuT vaca
tions, but the purpose of the society is
only to save for some such need and not
simply to hoard up money in a miserly
manner.
CAT AND RAT.
A ( heritable Feline Adopt, and Carre for
a llomrlewi 1'oilrnt.
A lalHrer employed iu one of the mills
at Sutter Creek lias in his house one of
the strati ,. r-t families of animals in ex
istemt?. The head of the family, says
the San r'raneiseo fall, is nn old cat,
which is a mother of a thrifty f:;mily of
fire kittens: but, in spite of the cares of
motherhood, she has taken it upon her
self to provide for a rat that she has
taken tinder her protection.
Inrin;r a storm alut two months ago
a IiaIf-"rown r:it. lame ami nearly
drowned, crawled into the house, evi
dently in search of food and shelter,
and by some chance made its way to
the place where the old cat lay snugly
on the heap of sacks with her family.
Strangely, the mother seemed touched
with pity over the condition of the wan
ilerer, and. instead of atlai king him.
she coolly made room for hiiu and did
everything to relieve his sufferings. The
rat displayed every sign of gratitude,
and the miner's family, when they dis
covered the intruder, wen- so struck
with surprise that they for bail anyone
to disturb them.
The result was that the rat cliosn to
remain w ith his iiew-fouml friends, and
has now become as docile as his fster
mother. A warm attachment seems to
have sprung up lietween the two, and
the rat has grown fat and lazy, wan
dering about as it suits its fancy, nnd
Aivitlentlr pleased with its new surround-
A Coming M arfiiiet.
The ten-year-ild crown prince of Ger
many appears to lie in a fair way of be
coming an insufTcraKle little prig. A
few itsiys ago. w iien returning with his
brothers from a drive, the palace guard,
as usual, turned out on the approach of
the iiiiHrisil children. As t lie carriage
had driven up rather rapidly the men
were forced to run as f:i-t lis they could
to assume their place in the rank, and
one unfortunate fellow, in his haste,
forgot his gun. This was immediately
noticed by the crown prince, who, as
soon as ever the ejrriage hail stopped,
instead of entering the pubiee, hurried
oft with his brothers to theofiiccrin
command of the guard for the purpose
of bulging n complaint against the sol
dier who had apearcd without his rille.
The result was that the soldier was sen
tenced to four days arrest and to a
further term of fatigue duty for his re
missness, while the licrlin pacrs are
tilled with laudatory notices of the mili
tary feeling and precision of the. future
emperor of Germany.

PERPETUAL MOTION PATENTS.
Why the tioverntneiit HtopK-l Taking-: the
1'rea of the Cranks.
The patent office lias recently ceased
to e a party to the fraud of perpetual
motion. I'ntil three years ago it was
customary to take "first fees" (fifteen
dollars) from the perpetual motion
cranks "u-s well as from all other would
Ik' inventors. Then, in course of time, a
letter was sent to the perpetual motion
applicant telling him that his claim
was based upon an irrational principle,
and that he must furnish a working
model. Of course, that was the end of
the application. The model never came,
and the fee remained in the treasury.
Aliout three years ago, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, IVincipal Ex
aminer William L. Aughinbaugh went
to the commissioner and suggested
that, as rejection of the perpetual mo
tion claim was inevitable, it would le
fairer to refuse the first fees of such
claimants and to send them a circular
immediately upon the filing of their ap
plications telling them that no consid
eration would lie given their papers nii
til a working model was filed. This
course has len pursued ever since.
Hut repcateilly the discoverer of per
petual motion has liecn very indignant
at the rejection of his tendered fee.
One. way that has been adopted by the
cranks to get around the new rule in
tended for their lienefit is to drop the
claim of perpetual motion and put in
the drawings for a "motor."' Notwith
standing the policy of the patent office
to discourage the perpetual motion
craze ami to save time and money for
people, at least two or three claims of
this character are put in every month.
Not long ago a Kansas man claimed
to have set up the perpetual motion ma
chine, and to have it in operation at his
home, lie wrote to the patent office to
know if the affidavit of Senator I'lumb
would be accepted instead of the work
ing model as the basis for a patent.
The examiner felt obliged to refuse.
Sometimes the perpetual motion in
ventor appears with a pocket full of
Warings and connections which be
asks the exandner to accept as evidence
that he has solved the problem. Itut
the examiner insists that he must see
the perpetual motion liefore he grants
the patent.
Last summer a New York lawyer
named Todd came all the way to Wash
ington, with parts of a machine, and had
tpiite a controversy with the office W
cause the patent was refused, lie in
sisted that he had seen the machine in
ojieration, that it was running day
after day, and keeping a cider press go
ing to IxMit. There was no deviating
from the rule. The lawver went back
1 to New York, saying that he would pro
duce the machine, lie was imt seen
again until tne centennial celebra
tion, when he reminded the exr
amincr of the cave and told how be had
Wen fooled. At the time of making ap
plication the lawyer really Wlicvcd
that his client had disovcred the long
sought principle. Hut when he got
hack to New York and told that the
patent had Wen refused the client con
fessed. The perpetual motion was no
motion at all. 1'ower was coucealed in
the cider press. It ran the press and the
press made the periH-tnal motion ma
chine go too. The inventor had In-cn
charging ten cents admission to see
pcr-x-tual motion, lie had fooled the
public and his lawyer, and he hoped
to slip through a claim.
Tv-a with l.itle.
The charming literary wife of a eel
ebrated New York artist lately intro
duciil the prettiest sort of u new
.vrinkle in the serving of her afternoon
a. When first she handed round the
teaming cup-, each with a white.
flower-like fragment floating on top.
her gne.-ts were greatly interested over
the innovation. Then she explained,
and, while adding a slice of lemon and
ciilx- of sugar to the fragrant Wvcragc,
coached the women present as to bow
they might go and do likewise. It ap
tiears she Wught crisp, coarse tarlatan,
cut it up in sApiares of five by six inches.
pinked the edges in sharp, deep scal
lops and then, putting a spoonful of
Kus.-t:m caravan tea in the center,
tied the leaves in a tiny sack by means
of a bit of heavy thread. I'.y mllli-jg out
the Iikisi- j rt ion., she obtained a blos
soinv look for her new-fashioned tea
balls, and not only ail. led immensely to
tin daintiness of her table and ctij;s,
but made it possible for each guest to
suit his or her particular taste. Some
choose to let the tea-lily remain until
strength is attained, while tho.-e liking
the weaker drink soon remove the tarla
tan bag.
THE ORIGIN OF "KELTER."
IH-riration am! DITi-rent Mraaiinirs of the
t onl.
Kilter or kelter was an "Anglicism"
long Wfi-.rc it was "Americanism."
Si; inner in 1071 has Skelter; he is not
yet in kelter, nondtini est paratus."
It is also given in a reprint of Lay's
Collection of H".:. Tins k lie fore i
oiiits to u Scandinavian origin, ff.
Man. "kilte," to trus,. tuck up, whence
I", "kilt." licit, gives SueiL di.-.l
"k'lM-r-hand." a band for holding up
tc.cked-up clothes; "kiltra-sig," to gird
up, tuck up nnd fasten. The metaphor
is obvious enough.
'I his word "kelter. ns it should W
j-j-clled. is given in .Johnson's diction
aiy, and derived from the Punish
'kelter, to gird; n quota t ion is given
from Harrow's works, where the word
i . used. Hailcy. in his etymological
iiielionary. derives it from the Latin cul
ture, lialliv. ell (' Dictionary of Arch
aic and l'rwviucial Words") gives it as
used in the east of Kngland Wth as a
sulu-tautive and as a verb. It is a
word of everyday- use in Surrey
jiiid Sussex, in the sense of or
der sir condition. Kcv. W. D. l'aris-lu
in his "Dictionary of the Sussex Dia
lect,' notices it iu the phrase, "this
farm seems in very good 'kelter. " I
have often heard it used in the same
way, and anything that is out of
condition is described as W-ing ont o
"kelter."' i n reference to the publica
tion of the "English Dialect Societr," it
will W seen that the word i of very
general use throughout KnglamL Iu
the neighborhood of Whitby it occurs
as a verb and a substantive, and in the
Mid and Kast Yorkshire glossaries
also; it is used also iu West Cornwall, -Hampshire
and the Isle of Wight. In
West Somerset, in Sheffield and in Hud
derslield the won! means money.
These references will 1m sufficient to
show that the expression is not an
Americanism, but that the word has
found and still finds a place in vcrnacu
lr Fiirii:-h. I hit-ago New .
FLOWER BUSINESS.
What
the Keeent Viiu shows in
Ke-
Card to f lori-ulture.
For the first time floriculture as an
industry was made a subject of special
investigation by the last census. In
fact, it is only within recent years that
it has assumed proportions in this coun
try justifying such a systematic iuijuiry.
Nearly two-thirds of the 4.1I.V.1 ostaW
lishments in existence, says the New
York Sun, when the census was taken
were started tluring the lat twer.ty
years. and more than one-third during
the last ten years. Four-fifths of the
whole business of the commercial flor
ists has Ix-cn developed within twenty
five years.
The census report shows that the
whole number of acres covered with
glass was nearly t00. More than -S's.-UoO.OuO
were invested iu the fixtures and
heating apparatus. Nearly lT.oon men
aud 2.000 women were employed in the
cultivation and its attendant industries,
ami the total valueof plants and shrubs
produced was more than Srj.tKMl.OoO. and
of cut Cowers more than $U.uo:i.UOU.
So far as the public taste is indicated j
by the purchases the rose is umpiotioii- i
ably the favorite popular llower. One j
firm alone reported the sale of a million '
of the plants in lss'.l. 1 he plants are
grown in very small pots, which are
sent by post throughout the union. Of
cut flowers, next to the n-c and closely
following it, carnations are mostly in

nearly two-thirds of the receipts from
sales. Then come violets, chrysanthe

pansies. tulips and a few others, mak
ing up oneijuarter of the t tal value.
The remainder, or aiKut one-t"ith. is
furnished by the demand for orchids.
tuW'roses, mignonette, camellias and
the rest. The majority of the tciiort.s
descrilie roses as the most profitable
product, with carnations second tunl
violets third. Of the llowering plants
sold in the northern ai'd ea.sl.TU stales
geraniums are i:itst in demand. In the
south they come after n-ses and chrys
anthemums and in California after
these two and carnations also.
The greatest centers f.r the propaga
tion of pws are in lViinsylvania. Illi
nois and Ohio and of hardy plants in
Illinois, New York and Kansas. The
salt's of cut dowers are largest in total
value in New York, Illinois aud IV-nn-sylvania,

cities and the largest wealth are. IVo
portiouatvly to its size New Jersey docs
the largest bushier,.-, in cut .lowers, and
for the obvious reason of its nearness to
New York, the greatest market. Its
sales of cut flowers amounted in value
to nearly si.3tKi.iKK).
Plants are the specialty of some flor

THE WIZARD'S LATEST.
.-'dliton Will KAl.iblt "several Astonl.hlns;
Invention, at the World's l air.
Thomas A. Edison, the famous elec
trician and inventor, is preparing to as
tonish the world by the exhibit he will
make ::t the world's fair in !s.i:i.
shrjil h;ive tw oor three things to show.

Ci se inventions are not yet ready to lie
di scrilx-d. or even characterized. The
third, however, is so nearly perfected,
that I do not hesitate to say something
aWfit it.
"I lio;ie to he able by the invention to
throw upon a canvas a perfect picture
of tm body, and rcprodncc Ids words.
Thus, should l'atti In- singing some

Tiii e. see all hr action- and listen to
the entrancing melody of her jeerless
voiee. Tbe invention will do for the
ee w tint the phonograph has done for
the voice, and reproduce the voice as
well, in fact, more clearly. I have al
ready perfected the invention so fnr as
to b.- able to picture si prize fight the
t wo men. the ring, the intensely inter
ested faces of those surrounding it and
you can bear the sound of ths' blows,
the cheers of encouragement and the
yells of disappointmcnL And when
this invention shall have Wen perfect
ed," said Mr. Edison with the trace of
enthusiasm's plow in his face, "a man
will W- able to sit in his library at home,
and. having electrical connection with
the theater, see reproduced on his wall
or a piisce of canvas the actors, and hear
anything they say. I can place one so
it will command a street corner, and
after letting it register the passing
sights for a time, I can have it east them
on a cauvas so that every feature and
motion of the passers, even to the
twitching of the face, can W seen, and
if a friend passed during the time, you
may know it. This invention will W
called the 'Kinetograph.' The first half
of the word signifies motion. and the
last "write, and both together mean
the -portrayal of motion. The inven
tion combines photography and phonog
raphy." Mr. Edison occupied nearly an acre
with his exhibit at the l'aris exposition.
As he wishes to show at Chicago all that
he exhibited at I'uris, and numerous
other things W.-ides, he i.s desirous of
W'ing accorded a greater space in lS'JC
The electrical exhibit is expected to be
the wonder of the exposition.
Suspicious of Klcct rlcity.
There has Wen any amount of corre
spondence, newspaper controversy and
litigat ion in Japan, as to the share played
by the electric-light wires in start
ing the fire which recently consumed
the Japanese houses of parliament.
Not electric-lighting alone but every
method utilizing electricity has be
come an object of suspicion, the tcle-
piione among the rest. Certain folks
have leen asking exjierts whether the
telephone might not W responsible for
a fire one of these fine days, and others
want to know whether cholera germs

THE
DEEP SEA SECIIETS.
Important Discoveries Made ln
tho Paciflo Ocean.
Many Interesting la4-t. I.eiATiie.l About
the Waters Alone Our V-n-rn
Coaat Singular Chaua-es
Occurrinjr.
The United States steamer Albatross
lately eompletsl a survey of certain
waters of the Pacific which have never
Ih'cii suhjeeted heretofore to scientific
examination. There is a large portion
of the I 'acifie ocean lying off the north
west Coast of South America which has
never Wen examined as to its fauna,
temiierature anil currents. The Alba
tross, wit'i Lieutenant Commander Z. L.
Tauncr in command aud l'rof. Agassiz,
the greatest living naturalist, repre
senting the I'nitcd States fish eommis
moii, was sent to -ii:covcr what these
waters contain ou the surface, at the
bottom and in the intermediate depths.
The first work w as done, says the
Chicago 1'ost, W twcen 1'anatna bay and
the Coeos and Mali-lo isIamLs. off the
coast of Ecuador. On March -t) work
was liegun outside of these waters,
reaching from Cape San Francisco, on
the coast of Ecuador, to the Galspagos
island-, and thence on up to Aeapulco.
Mi'i., along the coast of the latter
country, through part of the Gulf of
California and returning back to
Cuaymas. Tbe work was thorough
and l'rof. Agaf-siz's rejxirt will contain
much interesting data. lie discovered,
wbilif at the CJalapPgos islands, the 1:1
1 lost entire dis:.ppe:.r.nie of the
tortoise for which the islands were for
merly celebrated. Not many years age
whaling vessels put in at this place tc
trade in these animals and hundreds
could be caught within an hour or two.
On a former trip the Albatross brought
to Washington a lot of tortoises. On
her recetit visit to the islands a dayV
search resulted in the capture of only a
single specimen.
The fauna discovered by l'rof.
Agassiz and his assistant in these
waters are almost identical with that
found in West Indian seas. This is ac
cepted as ail-.iiiion.il and i'tiimrtant
proof that the Isthmus of I'anaina is of
comparatively recent creation. In
preeretaceous times the CarriWan sea
is supposed V) have Wen a bay of the
Pacific ocean, and the similarity of the
fauna in With is Wlieved to indicate the
truth of the theory.
l'rcf. Agassiz has Wen a little disap
pointed iu the specimens of deep sea
fnuna secured. They are not nearly so
rich as those found among the West
Indies and along the eastern coast of
North America. This is thought to W
due to the absence of any great current,
such as the Gulf stream in the Atlantic,
which carries with it large amounts of
f:xd. The surf;ue fauna was also in
strikiny contrast witii thut of the At
1 :;t:e fr...n the sim-.' cause. There was

Her Deposit Waa Accepted.
A few weeks afro, says the Chi
cago Mail, a middle-aged woman
carrying a small satchel entered
a down town bunk aud said to a teller
that she would like to muke a deposit.
"We can't op" n an account w it ii yon,"
said the young man Whind the window,
''unless 3tnt make some arrangement
with the cashier personally. I can give
you a certificate of deposit however."
"Very well, quietly remarked the vis
itor, "I don't want to W 1 tot he red Ui
carry this aliout town and the certificate
will do very well until 1 eun find some
iii.' titr.tion that will oicn an account
w ith me." The expectant young man
opened his certificate blank b.sjk and
dipped Ids ix n in the ink w ell W-forc
him. The satchel was opened, cuu from
it came not a black purse, or a few
dollars tied into a knot in a handker
chief corner but Fnited States bonds
the face value of which aggregated
more than 5. IS. 000. The certificate was
not filled out. An account was opened.

The Boston Transcript report- a con
versation Wtween a little grirl and her
uncle, who is evidently addicted to
quizzing: "L'ncle George," said Mattie,
"papa says you were a private in the
army. Is that something very grand?"'
"No, Mattie, not exactly grand," an
swered L'ncle George, with Warning
modesty; "not grand, but a -mst of
great responsibility. Mr. llalford is
private secretary to President Harrison,
and you know that is a position of dis
tinction. Well, I was a private iu tb-i

As a matter of fact, the earth has no
weight. Weight is the pull of pravity
tovvard a center and when speaking of
the weight of the earth we must con
sider the pull of gravity towards the
sun, and in that respect the earth is
equally poised. All parts of the earth
pressing toward the earth's center
eqnalize each other, so that a tow line
would pull the earth thousands of miles
out of its orbit. Lather than penetrate
an atmosphere of unotlicr liody so thin
that no animal life could exibt in it, our
earth would make a great circuit to get
around it. The almost imperceptible
attraction of one of the other planets
pulls air earth thousands of miles out
cf its regular path. St. Jose ph Herald.
A ROARING MONSTER.
Tho Creatmt Well iu Hie World at Huron,
In -south I 'a Wot a.
The artesian well on the Valley stoclc
far.n continues to attract greet crowds
of people, says the Huronite (S. I).).
And well it rn;:y, for it is really the
wor.der of the a;'e. Following the tests
made of the pressure tin Saturday and
S-.ni'.,.y the cap was removed, and
through a r.o..:-le a two and a half inch
stream of water was shot up into the
u;r :a d'-tatu-e of one hundred and twenty-live
t one hundred and forty feet.
The -lir.-tt course of the stream was
greatly interfered with by the cross
beams and braces of the derrick; with
a clear way and no wind a t wo and a
half 5'! h stream would W sent one
huiul.vd and sixty feet into the air. So
gr.-iit i- the pressure that pine boards
si inches wiiii.- uii.l one inch thick,
used e stays and hruccs on the derrick
fifty 1eet. above the mouth of the well,
were Woken by the force of the water.
V. 'Idle this no..le v:-s on. the derrick,
which is s -venty-live feet high, was al
most hidden from view by the spray
an-1 jelfiiigs of the stream, presenting
a si-rht as Wuutiful as it was wonder
ful. Later in the evening Mr. Weston,
manager i f the well titid who has had
charge of the drilling, removed the two
an.! a half inch nozzle and placed upon
the pipe a four huh one. l:ii!ncdi:itely
stream fi.ur inches in diameter shot
tip nearly seventy feet, deluging every
thing in it- descent. This was ac
coT:tpajied by a deep roaring sound,
mid frequent sharp rcjiorts re-eiubiing
the discharge of a rifle were heard.
Thi- stream, as wen as the smaller one,
struck tl-e w all.ing-Wj.m and broke
m'.vh of it:, f rc -.
The i:ii-cj'it of water thut flows from
the well is tr inemlou -. being estimated
at front ci ;A thousand to ten thousand
gallons per minute. Even at tip lower
figure enough pours out of th well to
furnish every man. woman and child in
the state of South Dakota with at l. iit
four gallons of water ever;, twenty-four
hour.-.
As to the pressure, that has not yet
la-en fully a-cert nined, but from tests
already made it is known to W con
siderably more than two hundred
pounds to tin square inch. With a f;;ir
test if is likely to reach two hundred
and tweiity-eigbt j-ounds. The pn ss-jrc
has steadily increased for the la..-1 three
days and may exceed the above figures.
The vc!i is now nine hundr. d and
sixty feet deep, and as soon ai ma
chinery ii-nv ordered ;-jrivi s th" v...r";
of reaming the hoic t eight inches in
diameter, making it an eight-inch well
from top to bottom, will W prosecuted.
The water is soft, clear and il.-u'.nir.
to ta.ste. It is Hooding the low pi. ice
in the vicinity, and. although great
ditches have Wen dug to carry it into
the Jim river, acres of water may be
seen in every direction.
Without iloubt this is the greatest
artesian well in the world.

her tmoksvory well if she went, andt-he
hates to think that she cannot do every
thing quite as well a-every l-dy else.
For the poor little thing has no arms.
Sh has never bnd any.
The tiling that Mar. an most delights
in doing is to hi h her little brothers

they don't stand still she knows evactly
how to give them a lively little Wx on

How d.ies she do it? Why, with her
feet, of course. She laughs when peo

artist looks at his picture to see if he
has achieved the correct effect. When
the face is as new-looking and f resh ns
a bran-new tin pan, Maryan gives a
queer little satisfied siglt, and patters
into the next room us fast as she can
that's pretty fast, too, by the way.
When she comes out she has hornet hing

Swish: once more, and there's a Wauti

"There, now," she says, cheerily;
that is. if she doesn't say "There now,"
she means it. Surely she means it.
And so the little brother knows, for he
rises hastily and proceeds iu a business
