One Tnutt of Yankee Invention * .
A French eugiueervho had boon ou
a tour of inspection iu the United States
was uot impressed by the big things of
the country. "I shall report to my gov
ernment , " suid he , "that the biggest
things in America are the littie things.
The French people are experts1 in do
mestic economy and live comfortably
by saving what average families in the
United States throw away. ' But Amer
icans arc , on the other hand , experts in
industrial economy. They make money
by saving wastage in business and lose
some of it by wastage in domestic econ
omy. The attention paid to small de
tails in big works is amazing to me. I
have visited some establishments where
I believe that the profits are made not
iu the manufacture proper , bnt in the
saving of materials and labor by close
attention to details that are with us un-
cousidcred trilles.
r'For example , I saw a little grind
stone'in operation at a big works auto
matically sharpening lathe and planer
tools. This machine costs probably as
much as 100 of our ordinary grindstones
cost , but I see that it automatically
grinds all the tools for 300 high priced
mechanics , and it only works a few
hours each day. The skilled mechanics
in our country frequently stop their reg
ular work to grind their own tools , and
then they do it imperfectly. In the
United States tools are all accurately
ground to the best shape by the ma
chine , so that they do more and better
work ou this account iu a given time.I
believe that that machine has brains
the brains of the inventor and it has
no doubt revolutionized work of this
kind in American machine shops. This
is but one case out of many that I have
noted. " Invention.
Canary 15'irds.
At a moderate estimate 400,000
change hands every year iu the United
Kingdom alone , tbo value of them be
ing about 100,000. Of the total num
ber of canaries sold by British dealers
100,000 at least are "made iu Ger
many , " for it would seem that the very
air of England is so enamored of free
dom that , AV bile its native wild birds
are the finest singers in the world , Ger
man canaries far outmatch English ca
naries for beauty and persistency of
song. I have otten heard German cana
ries continue a single trill for a minute
and a quarter , and I have been told of
one whoso trill lasted for two minutes
and had at least 20 changes of note iu
it. This bird was sold for 10. Chiefly
bred in the Tyrol , round the Harte
mountains and in Thuringia , by weav
ers and shoemakers , the German birds
are collected iu August and September
by the dealers and begin to arrive iu
Euglaud iu October.
But few of the very best birds como
to England , and when they do it is gen
erally as birds of passage. In the earlier
part of the season the usual retail price
is from 0 to 10 shillings per bird , ac
cording to the quality of the song , these
prices rising 50 per cent by the eud of
the year. It is seldom that the fiuest
songster is thought to bo worth more
than 30 shillings by the commercial
Englishman. Consequently the very
fine birds are either bought by Germau
birdkeepersorsent to the Uuited States ,
where they readily bring from § 20 to
§ 40 each. The average price for the
birds iu Germauy is 5 shillings per
pair. Good Words.
Which Was the Better Way ?
They had both been refused by her.
The first ran home and , running to his
room , took a pistol from his dressing
case and stood before the mirror. How
pale his face , and what a drawn look
about the mouth ! It startled him.
As ho placed the pistol against his
temple his eyes fell upon her photo
graph. Ho paused.
"Don't , " ho cried , "don't look at
me , dear ! " Ho turued her face to the
wall and again pressing the pistol to
his head pulled the trigger.
The second walked home slowly. Ho
was more "dazed than hu at first fully
realized. He had hoped for so much
aud now He reached his room. Her
face smiled tantaliziugly at him from
the table. Ho took his pistol out and
held it in his hand a moment. Then he
reached for the mocking picture. Ho
looked at it aud then dowu. the barrel
of the weapon.
"No , confound it , I won't ! " he cried.
"I may bo a fool , but I'm not a coward !
Come here ! " ho said , roughly taking
the photograph in the left hand. With
deliberation ho placed the muzzle agaiust
the face and fired. Pearson's Weekly.
Russian Dissenters.
The so called Greek Orthodox popu
lation of Russia is permeated with sects
of dissenters of all possible denomina
tions. It is estimated that one-third of
that population belongs in reality to
some branch of nonconformists. Lu
therans , Rationalists , Sabbatariaus , Bap
tists and Anabaptists are represented in
various ways among these dissenters ,
many of whom strive to returu to the
principles of primitive Christianity , or
even to still more ancient forms of so-
jiety represented in the Old Testameut.
The right of free interpretation of the
Bible is thus carried on all over Russia ,
lUd there is uo force which could limit
it.
Every village has its own teachers
men and women who interpret the Bi
ble in their own ways , almost always
liostile to the present state and to the
official church. A powerful religious
movement is thus growing in Russia ,
md it is also bound to work iu a not re-
uoto time as a powerful force against
lutocracy. Prince Krapotkiu iu Out

lays he was as well as ever ho was.

From San Francisco.
Catholic Truth Society , Camp Merritt ,
San Francisco , Calif . June 28 , 1898. To
the old folks at home Dear father and
mother : I have received your letters of
recent date. This leaves me well and
hearty although there is sickness in
camp. The men who are sick are mostly
the ones who get drunk and expose
themselves to the inclement \veather. It
is not an unusual thing to .see soldiers
going about at night without a coat and
sometimes without a hat , and though
you don't have to go twenty-five miles
from here to find a warm climate this is
the coldest , foggiest place I ever saw. I
bave just couie off of guard duty two
hours on and fours off and if I had not
had my overcoat in the night I would
liave felt the cold.
The four transports ? hicli started to
the islands left here yesterday and \veie
escorted outside of the Golden Gate by
many craft of different , kinds. The whis
tles commenced L lo\vmg before they
started anil kept it up until the salute
was fired from the. Presidio.
Two of the prisoners got out , last
night , and slipped back before morning ,
and when the corporal of the guard ,
whose tint } * it was to guard them , WsMit
to wake them he found one f.ist asleep ,
hugging in his arms two quart bottles of
Catilornia wine. The other one had a
"wicked-looking knife strapped around
They both got severe sentences. One
boy accidentally shot another in the leg.
He has been in the guard-house seven
teen days without trial.
California is in its dry season now.
They say in midwinter the grass is
greenest of any time of the year. As we
neared California on our journey it was
a grand sight to see palm and oleander
trees growing in the midst of a sandy
desert. It was no less beautiful for the
contrast.
There aie as many Chinamen in San
Francisco as there are negroes in Nash

assassinated a few days ago , an J although
he had a strong bod3-ouard it was of no
avail against the murderous highbinder ,
who are as mysteiious and silent in then
actions as they are cowardly in "their
methods of lighting. This nephew was
making government uniforms at a re
duced rate , so they reduced him.

FOB ALL WOMEN
IHE-TENTHS of
all the pain
andsicknessfrom
which women
suffer is caused
by weakness or
derangement in
the organs of
menstruation.
Nearly always
when a woman is not well these
organs are affected. But when
they are strong and healthy a
woman is very seldom sick.
Is nature's provision for the regu
lation of the menstrual function.
It cures all " female troubles. " It
is equally effective for the girl in
her teens , the young wife with do
mestic and maternal cares , and
the woman approaching the period
known as the "Change of Life. "
They all need it. They are all
benefitted by it.
