The sky had not” yet resumed its usual
cheerful aspect but looks sullen. Gran-
' ually tne train slows up, and East St.
Louis is called out., But it is not time for
St. Louis passengers to leave the train
until the Mississippi river has been crossed.
The traveler who has not made himself
acquainted with the circuitous course of
this road. and who depends mainly. upon
his geographical knowledge of the
country, is somewhat perperrd and at a
loss to reconcile the idea of a train coming
from the west into East St. Lnuia and
then crossing the Mississippi to St. Louis,
which is on the west side of the river,
but. such are the facts. To understand
this, the line of the Chicago and Alton
road from‘KzrnaasCiiy must be seen on
the map, which shows that baih the large
rivers, Mia ouri and Mississippi, havi-
been crossed in the night. at 11 aqd 2:80
o'clock. From the time 'of crossing the
last mentioned erer the train si on the
east side of it, and at 1:15 a. in. by
schedule “luv, the St. Louis branch takes
a southerly course at Roodhouse, while
the Chicago branch takes a northeasterly
course. Further explanation is unneces-
sary to show why this train coming to St.
Louis either from the east or from the
west must always be found heading west.-
ward. The river, which had been crossed
at 9:80 o'clock in‘the night, has taken a
southeasteily course to St. Louis, thus
necessitating a recreating of the Mississip
pi in order to reach the city, which is on
in western side of it.

John Jackson—This question of selling
' bay has already been talked upon, and as
Iwac not presentl’tball have to go it
blindacto what has been said. I was,
however,ihe introducer of the question
and till try to say something relating to
it. First, it will not pay to sell bay 'even
at a good price. 'I'QOD’F like to see farms
th'at have had their hay Ishiirn and carried
to market. "It will almost pay a man to be
blind to not see them. We should try
and find some kind of stock that we can
keep at a profit. Don’t be dccéived bv
lookipgata fcw acres about your barn
that receive the whole of your manure.
The president has said' in some previous
remarks that he kept too much stock. Ah 1
but he sells too much hay; this is the
reason. He should raise more grass and
less hay. This feeding straw and buying
cottonseed meal isn’t my idea of farming.
Would raise steers, cows, colts. sheep, and
anything that Icould get semething for
handling. The last thing for a farmer to
buy is grain and fertilisers. It should all
be raised and made on' the farm. There
are 10'!) many middle men on grain, etc.
Emery farmer owning one hundred sores
should raise at least twenty of ' corn, then
be will have something to feed besides
hay, which is costly for him. i ' ' '

President—W hen I was at the winter
agricultural meeting in Newtown, Col.
Warner was talking with‘pcrhaps a drum
good practical farmers of his section,
(milk section) when they all agreed as to
the practicability of selling bay. I re-
marked that it might depend perhaps on
circumstances, and in all cases it was not
quite so certain whether or no. But the
colonclhended the band, and laid in no
ease sell. hay but being assured that it
't was worth .20 per ton he said if
you do bring back grain, I could get
about a pound of grain for a' pound of
hay. They could only get abouttlo per

any, circumstances may control you.
Mr. Jackson—Feeding bay at, .10 per
ton! Yes. it may look large for one ton'
of hay;but this hay will cost you but
about 88 or 150 if you raise it as I have
proposed. lf you feed your grass oaths

while if you cut it and carry it‘away, you
will soon out about half a ion. The first

The Hammock in Cars.
R. . J. Burdettez—An' advertisement
before us in an exchange looks as though
it was a good thing, but we are skeptical.
The article is n “car-seat hammock." and
there is a picture of the hammock swung
from the back of one seat to the back of
the seat’rlliead. and in the hammock is a
vonng lady asleep, and over the picture.
are the words, “Sleep, darling, sleep."
The girl seems to be asleep, with her
foot in the stirrup of the hammock, but
there is I] weird, wicked wildness about
her facethat convinces the beholder that
she is wide awake. Such a hammock
might be made to work in 8 empty car on
n side track, but in a car running forty
miles an hour that girl would get spilled
out on the floor. 1n the first, place, the
person wilb a hammock has got to have
two whole seats, which no railroad com-
pany would allow, unless the girl was a
friend of the brakeman. It would be a
nice tight,'wouldn’t it, to see a girl come
iiiioa crowded car, cause passengers to
move out of n couple of seats, then swing
her hammock and get in and go to sleep.
Imaginwsucb a scene, and listen to the
comments of the passengers. The drum-
mer for‘the‘ grocery house, sitting on the
wood-box,‘ would ‘look at her and say:
“She looks as though she had only one
lung, but she has two galls," and would
go up tothc hammock and say : “Is this
seat all occupied 1’" The girl, would. open
her eyes and give him a look that wbuld
cause him to pass on to the smoking car
inn hurry. The brakeman wopld go to
the hammock girl and touch her on the
vaccination mark and say: "Miss, you
will have to take down your circus tent
and let somebody help you occupy this
seat." and she would paralyze the brake.
man with a look, and he would go riffnnd
send the conductor in. The conductor
would bring ,the' big grocery drummer
with him and say: Can’t. you make

would be mad, " At stations along the line

TEE PATENT omen.
‘ No bureau of the government exceeds
in importance the United States Patent ‘
Office. From the start it has been self-
sustaining. and now has an nnexpended
balance to its credit of about $2, 500, 000.
This money is'the result of fees paid by
inventors to secure the patents which
protect their inventions. The business
of the Patent Office has increasedwith
each year of its enEien' cc, and yet the
generosity of the lawmakers has not kept
pace'with the needsof the ofiice. As
CommissipnerButterworth said the other
day, “the inventors of the country. who
come here eithcrin person or by attor-
ney and pay their money to have their
claims investigated and properly deter-
mined, are entitled to have their business
transacted with reasonable desputch.
This cannot be done when We are crump-
ed for room and are running on a. reduced
force as at present.” Don’t you think'
Congress will be more liberal this venr?"
asked the Republican. “ I certainly" think
so. I have talked with a. number of mem—
bers, and they seem disposed to do the
fair thing and give us what is necessary. "
The pressure of work and the diminished
. force has brought the work behind hand.
In some divisions, of course, it is further
in arrears than in others, for the inven-
tive genius seems to follow the publi
need or public interest. For in;
stance, when the new standard of
time was agitated there was at once :i
large number of applications filed for im.
proved watch and clock dials. ' The
troubles with the grip on the Brooklyn
Bridge are already bearing fruit in the
Patent Office records. Every week brings
forth one 01: more potent grips, and the
backwoods are not yet heard from.
.Should the winter prove severe enough
to suspend outdoor labor in the malais-
trict-s, the spring will usher in an and)”
of patent grips that will leave our coup-
lers. electric lamps and check-rowers en-
tirely in the background When any-
thing happens to keep a. portion of our
population inside doors its efi'eets are im-
mediately apparent in the Patent Office
records. _ One would hardly think, where
everything is so thoroughly matter of
fact as the Patent office, that there could
be anything that would excite a smile ex-
tracted from its‘rccords. The inventor
is a sober,‘thonghtfu1man, and he brings
' his applications and models to the oflice.
where they are received and investigated
‘ by a. staid and critical examiner; and one
might almost as [soon expect to . get a
comic song out of an oyster as to look for "
funny things from the cranks and cogs
of the models.
W
WHERE YOUNG SNAKES HIDE.
There is a funny thing about young
vipers that is not commonly knovm.
When they are disturbed, and before they
arelarge enough to defend themselves,
on the slightest approach of danger they
runtotheir mother and crawl into her
mouth and down into her stomach, where.
they remain for protection. White, in
his “Telboume,” speaks of once cutting
up a big viper and finding young ones in
her abdomen that were seven inches in
length andnslhrge its full grown earth
worms. The little fry came into the
worldin the true viper spirit, Showing.
great nlértness as soon as disengaged
from the dam; they twisted and wriggled
about, and set themselves up and gapeil
very wide when touched with it stick.
Showing every token of menace and [le-
t'enee, though they had no Sign of fringe.
that could be seen even with glasses:
there is it singular fact here, and that. is
that the young animals haven. knowledge
of the situation of their natural weapons
before they are formed. A calf or lamb
will butt and threaten with his head be-
fore his horns have protruded, and a.
young cock will spur at his adversary im—
fore his spurs are formed. Arthur Nich-
ols once shot an Australian. " snake of it

number of her young. They all disap—
pearudasifby magic. She was out to
pieces, but the young were not found in
her throat, but hidden among the shut-
tered coils of the (lam. [They would
squeeze under her body and lie close to
the side of it, accommodating themselves
'every bend in the coils. '
- rsmnomts SIGNS.
The origin of the paivnbroker’s sign——
three bulls—is as follows: In the Middle
Ages, and till only a. few hundred years
ago, the pawnbrokers did not exist, but
all goldsmillhs were accustomed to accom-
' modate their customers'by advancing on
personalproperty, and of all persons so_
trading the famous princely house of
Florence, the De Medicis, Were best
known. They had branches all over"
Europe, and mailed in every country. It
was the fashion in those days for o mer-
chant, not a native of the country where lire
lived, to put his own coat of arms over
his door (if he had one), and that of his
native country. The arms of the Medici
family are what the French call armes par.
turtles. The put on the name Medici, in
Itnlmn' as well nsin Instill, for physician,
and then balls were not bulls; they were
, really “pills,” gilded, as was the custom
The pnwnbroker's Sign is really the three
gilded pills of the Medici, adopted be:
cause all over Europe it hung over the
banking houses of the Medici family,
which was a. familiar sign to everybody.
When bonkers ceased to take pledg ,
the sign in time became confined to the
pnivnbrokers.
