fibfifiinx mean or run TIMES.

In “redevelopment and introductibn
of new and impIpved machine shop tools
and appliances some manufacturers have
become at times almost skeptical as to
the ultimate success of certain efforts in
this direction. The machine designer
who gets ahead of the times is about as
“able to lack substantial recognition
(for the time being) as the one who is be-
hind the times :Tbe former, however, has
a good prospect for the future, while the
latter is bound to dwindlc out of business
notice. If a really excellent machine,
up to advanced shop practice, be placed
upon the market unsuccessfully, shop-
owners refraining from purchasing it,
the patterns for manufacturing should
be kept in readiness for a future demand,
which is likely to make itself felt in a
few years, if not in a few months.

Machines and tools that would scarcely
sell at all four or five years ago are now
being made and disposed of readily and
advantageously, because average me-
chanical practice has caught up with
them. Turret lathes for ordinary ma-
chine shops, and special cutting-o! ma-
chines, were made several years ago, but
this demand was until two or three
years ago, not enough to build up a
prosperous business upon. Their use,
however, would have been as advan-
tageous five years agoas now, when a
good and increasing demand exists. The
use of a turret lathe in a shop doing or-
dinary work, with about forty hands,
has been declared by those having am-
ple experience, to be just about equal to
an additional mechanic, and those using
cutting-OR lathes wonder how they ever
got along so many years without them,
when those tools could have been easily
procured.

The milling machine was formerly con-
sidered applicable only to shops manu-
facturing firearms, and special articles
of that character. At the close of the
Civil War the tools and appliances in
armories were sold to general machine
shops, and thus the merits of milling
machines for a wide variety of ‘shop-'
work became known. Their construction
and sale for ordinary shop use soon be-
came a recognized industry, yet the ad-
vantages of milling machines are yet far
from beinggenerally appreciatod. Cen-
tering . machines are coming into use as
they never have done before. Jigs for
boring and facing parts of machinery
were formerly almost rare enough to be
curiofities. Now they form an impor-
tant part of the equipment of many
shops. Patterns of improved machinery
that would not sell some years ago have
in some instances been brought out
lately and used, the product being quite
saleable. Thus the efforts of original
mechanical enterprise, after. apparent
failure. have been in some instances re-
warded with gratifying success.

Gnna'r MEN'S sronracns.

The power to eat well and to digest
well is not an‘elsment of greatness, but
itisoftcn essential to the success of great
intellectual. cfi‘orts, involving—as in the
forum—high and long-sustained feeling,
and broad and comprehensive argument.
The brain isfood digested ; and thought,
feeling. fancy. will and expression area
possible, in their higher forms, only as
the brain is well fed muscles essential to
to asucccssful athlete.

Luther had a' good digestion, and
could go to Worms through as many
" devils as there were tiles on the house.
tops 3" and he was, mOrcovcr, as genial
as be was heroic, and kept his house
filled with joy and song.

Colvin's digestion was exceedingly
weak, and no warm sunshine played on
the grand, cold mountains of his intellect
and his theology.

Much in the character of Dr. Johnson
is explained by the fact that he was in
thchabit of taxing avoracious stomach to
the utmost.

Carey, the cobbler, who without any
academic education, became the founder
of modern missions, the translators of
the Bible into forty of the dialects of

British college at Fort William, and the
first Orientalist of the day, beside doing
enough other" [work to immortalize
avengemen, was largely indebted toa
vigorous digestion that was never abused.
Says the "Medical News," speaking of
Carlyle, who began early to suffer from
dyspepsia, the gloomy view he took of
the constitution of modern society was a
reflex of mental depression due to bad
digestion. His railings and wailings
over the degeneracy of the times, his
hopelessness of, any improvement, and
his mean opinion of all the litcrary men
and women with whom he came in con-
tact. had their origin in the same morbid
state." '

False hair, which cvcrbody wears
nowadays, comes in abundance from
France and Germany, with a little from
other parts of the continent and England.
The largest quantity and the boat quality
is from France. It is not hair of dead
persona as many imagine, but come
from the heads of living peasant women
and girls. It is gathered by peddlers,
who buy it for a trifle-—a silk kerchief or
some other article ‘which pleases the
fancy. ‘ It is: taken to Paris and sold to
manufacturers, who assert it in length
and shades for export to America and
other countries There is also an inferior
kind. not much used. which isgathered
from ash barrels gund dustsheaps of Paris
and Italy. and was into lengths and
shades. Itis the cheapest kind of hair.
Dealers payfrom six dollars to twelve
dollars a dozen for switches, and sell
them at one dollar and two dollars each.
We get some raw hair in this country,
but very little. It comes nearly all from
the uunnarlell. I do not think there
would'bo fifty pounds of it in the half a
tonofhairwhichlbuyinayear. There
~ are some inferiorgrsdes made by New
York jobbers.‘ but all the good hair comes
from 3W There are in France regu-
lar "hair raisers "—that is, girls who
have their hair cut for sale every four

The recommendation contained in: the
report of M. dc Lesseps to the Paris
Academy of Science that a statue should
be erected to the Marquis Claude-
Francois-Domes Joufi'roy, known den
isively in his own day as Joufi'my-la-
pompe adds one more tozthe cases in
which a tardy triumph has {been devised
for those who in their own day were neg-
looted and accrued. Born in 1751 of one
of the great noble families of Franche-
Comic. Joufi‘roy d'Abbans was one of
the first and probably the first, in his
century to make a vessel travel by stcam
power. With the aid of a village brazier
be constructed a vessel which in the
months of J one and J uly, 1776. at
Baumes-les-‘Damcs, moved by stbam
power upon the Doubs. A more .am-
bitious experiment, attended by a mod-
erate amount of success, was made after-
wards on the Saone at Lyons. All oha‘ncc
of benefitting by his invention was
denied him. The privileges he sought
from the Academy of Science, which now'
contemplates erecting to him a status,
were denied for years, until in the end
Jonfi‘roy, ruined, withdrew into seclu-
sion, and died in 1°32 in the Invalidea
of cholera. If the much-debated dis-
covery in 1543 of Blasco do Maybe put
on one side, as assumably should be the
case, Joufi'roy will have about as good a
claim to the invention of the steamboat
as has Gutenberg to that of printing.
As in the case of most great dicoveries, ,
the idea was in the air, and the Marquis
was almost, if not quite, the first to em-.
ploy it with success. I hope he will
have his statue. Talking of ‘marquises
and statues, we have a Marquis of WOr-l
caster who is as much entitled to a
status as any discoverer of them all.
Balzac, it is known, wrote a drama, “ Les
Bessonrces de Quincla," on an imagin'ar'y
discovery of a steam ship, and thepcr-
secution brought on the discoverer.—

as our ARAB CITY.

Arriving at Algiers by rail, a traveler
naturally feels a sense of disappoint,
meat, as if he were come upon a modern
French town with its streets. large ware-
houses, colonnadcs and gay shop win-
dows. This is modern Algiers; and it
lies along the borders of the sectors
distance of two miles or more, and on
the rising hillsides, three or four blocks
upward. High above the French build-
ings, and directly back of them, rises
what is left of the old Arab city. The
houses, white as an advanced knowledge
of the art of whitewashing can make
them. are irregularly piled together,
like a huge mass of rock candy. A flight
of five hundred steps leads to tthasha.
or fort. that surmounts the height; add
many other streets and lanes. dark, n'ar- ‘
row and circuitous, lead 'to the same
point, giving the old town a triangular
shape. Scattered over the hills on either
side of the city one sees a large number
of villas ; those belonging to the French
and the rich Hebrews are more to the
left of the town, while to the right live a
large number of English, who occupy a
tract of land extending three or four
miles beyond Algiers. The impression
of the pm is much grander when one
approaches it by water; its fine harbor,
with the forts, lighthouse and arsenal,
the rising mass of buildings of dazzling
whiteness, terminating in the grand old ‘
fort on the summit. and the Moorish
villas which surround the bay, half con-
cealed by the luxuriance of the foliage,
make Algiers one of the most beautiful
of cities. The climate is absolute per-
fection. Neither hot nor cold. but al-
lowing one always to sit with open
windows. The, seasons are not marked
by the budding of trees and the putting
forth of flowers, for this is going on
throughout the year.

Candles denote both a low and a high -
state of society. The early Greeks and
Romans burned candles made of wax
and 'tallow. These were of a very primi.
tivc kind, consisting of oakumwicks and
of the pith of bulrushes. dipped into
liquid wax or tallow. But these gave
way to the handier lamp, whether of
terracotta or of bronze. In acountry
abounding in olive and other vegetable
oils, this was the ewer way. 'In Eng-
land the supply was. as indicated from
an animal scgroe." Then a time came,
especially in England. when lamps, ex-
cept for the wealthy, went out of use,
and candles were mostly used. Now,
far more lamps are used than at the end‘
of the last century. Before the intro-
duction of petroleum into England, can-j
dies in the country and in the city were
used. either by the very poor or the very
rich. The queen has never given a
drawing-room reception where either
lamp-light or gaslight was used; only
wax lights must shine. No British
nobleman invites his guests to. a ball
where the illumination is by anything
else than by expensive wax candles ; and
by the latter I mean either those made
from wax. as we commonly understand
it. or from the finest spermaceti. On
the altars in churches, none but lights
made from vegetable wax and vegetable
oil arcever used. When I asked why
wax candles were thus used in the draw-
ing-rooms of royalty and the nobility, I
was told that ladies appear to better ad-
vantage with such a light. and also that
it is‘better for -- their complexion than

”HERA” IN IRANCI.

There is one French custom we should
like to see introduced into the United
States. and becomeuniversal. In France,
when a funeral passes. every -man raises
his‘hat to salute it. The deceased person
may have been a child, a pauper, or u
beggar; it is no matter; the cottage is
saluted by every man, whether he be
prince, millionaire, or mendicaut. —.It‘_is
a good and lovely custom. Few things
are more humiliating than to see a fun-
eral trotting 'down Broadway, in New
York, winding in and out among the
vehicles and other obstructions, exciting
no more remark or attention than if it
were a procession of old hacks going to
the repair shops. In New York, the
rapid pace seems unavoidable. owing to
the great distance to the cemeteries.

Elsewhere, funerals at least move with a

decent slowness, and the evident sorrow
of the followers seems toplesd tothe
passer-by for the sympathetic recogni-

tion. It were a mark of civilization in us'

tobestow it uponthem.

The difference between the, English
.and'zzthc. Germans in . their respective
colonial successes is so remarkable as
often to have attracted attention with-
out perhaps causing much investigation
of the causes which have led to this dif-.
feronce. The English nation has found-
ed colonies all over ,theworld; these
colonies havebcen: successful ;. have in-
creased thc numbers of~ their inhabitants
not only by emigration from England
but by attracting the enterprising and
the discontented from every, part of the
world, and have remained stench in their
adherence to the mother country, with
but one notable exception, that of the
United States, the people of which were
firm in their allegiance and prompt in
their duties- as British' subjects until
fairly driven away by the persecutions of
Va tyranical’Ministry. . * . '

The Germans-on the-otherhand. while
they have sent out mere emigrants in
proportionate their population than any
other nation in Europe. having had few
colonies, and have, therefore, seen their
people scattered among other nationali-
tics, gradually losing all. these char-actor.
lgltjai; that. made them peculiarly Ger-
man. The realm of this cannotbesa
lack of love for their nativecountry, for
the Germans have more of this than any
other nation on the globe. A representa-
tive German lately suggested what is’
probably. the true explanation. For ages.
the territory of Germany has been divid-
ed into petty States, 80 or 40 in number,
the people of each having their own
customs, speaking their own dialect;
having skong local ' attachments and
marked pride of . race. but .acknowledg--
ing no general head to which they could;
all claim allegiance, and, consequently,:
having none of that proud national feel-
ing which so characterizes the English.
The result has been that when Germans
went abroad they went not gs Germans
but as prospective citizch's of the coun-
try' inwhich they intended to raside,
and soon, Of course. lost their identity as
Germans.

This was the casedcwn to the resur-
rection of the German Empire in 1871,
and from that time to the present there
have been various indications pointing to
a change. The locd dialects of the
petty States are being gradually disused
for the German of the Court and uni-
versities, local prejudices are being, little
by little. swept away, and anational pride
is springing up that must infallibly bring
about many good results. Whether the
foundation of colonies, into which the
overflow of Germany's 45,000,000 Of pop-
ulation can be poured, will , be one of the _
consequences of the empire is yet too
early for conjecture. for a colony-found.
ing nation must bc'strong at sea, and
Germany's naval forcelis not great, but
the tendency is undoubtedly in that di-
rection, and if the German Empire holds
together for a. hundred years extensive
German colonies in Africa, Asia, and
perhaps also South America are among
the possibilities of the future.

Aammcax WORKERS.

It appears from statistics recently
compiled that the whole product of Am-
crican manufactures in 1850 was valued
at $1,019,000.000; in 1860 it was $1,885,-
000,000; in 1870 it was 84.232.000.000;
and in 1880 it was 85.309.000.000. An
explanation of the enormous, increase in
the volume of trade was 'fou'hd partly in
the increase of the producing popula-
tion, but chiefly in the multiplication of
machinery. 1.1.1850 there were altogether
957.000 hands employed in manufacture;
in 1860 the number was 1,311,000-;»in
1870, 2.058.000; and in 1880. 2:700:000-
The increase from 1850‘to 1860 was thus
37 per cent, from 1860 to 1880about 50
per cent. and from 1870 to 1880 about 31
per cent. In 1870 there were sfoam
engines and. water wheels, with~3,346.142 .
horse-power employed in manufactures,
and in 1&0 there was atotal of 3.410.837
horse-power employed, being an increase
of 1,004,095 horse-power, or about ‘50
per cent. But this increase of horse.
power does not fully represent the pro-
ductive capacity that is added to the
already existing sum total. In many
departments of light manufacture, such.
as shoemaking, clothing,'wooden-\vare,
etc, a little machine will treble the pro-
ducing capacity of one hand. _ The pro
ductive capacity of the States proceeds
at a far greater ratcfhan thatof any
other country. Half a million persons
are added to the population every year
from immigration, and see represent a
productive :clement «are workers,
and. indeedtherc are few idiots :in the
States altogether. Another important-
point is that :the. machinery representec
producing element exclusively. The
great need nosr is to find additional cont
sumors of the products of the enormous'
industries going forward . The home
market has hitherto been chiefly the
concern of the manufacturers, but; now
this market is completely overstocked, ~
and if it is necessary to find out foreign
buyers. If thesebc not provided.- and
the preductive capacity of the United
States goes on increasing at the-present
rate, the American people will have labor .
problems thrbwn on their hands Which
thoy will findvery difficult to solve.

as: SOUGHT THE BATTLE.

 

Among the first confederate troops
that went out from Arkansas was Parson
Geesmore, who enlisted as a ehapiain.

He was a devoted Christian and his
prayers were regarded by the men as at.
tornaces from a iiigheripower. Just be-
fore thebattle‘bf Jenkins" Ferry the old
man. in ascrmon, said: ..

"My dear. boys, I have decided to go
into the next fight with you. I don't

has experienced the feeling of going into
battle. Now, the next fighting we
engage in shall have me numbered

The old gentleman rode a large gray
horse. and when perparations for the
battle of Jenkins's Ferry were being
made, 'he appeared on the snowy
charger. Some of the officers begged
him to keep out of danger, but with an
expression of heroism he replied that he
would engage in the battle.

The first artillery fire from the enemy
shot the horse from under the old gentle-
man, and by the time he settled him-
self on his feet a bullet came along and
carried ofi‘ one of hisfingers. He'até

’ tempted to be calm, but just then a bullet

carried away the right thumb, and.
wheeling arbund. the old man struck a
detarxhined trot for the rear.

“Hold on h—l? " he replied “ Ask a
man to hold on when the whole d—d

them. "Thus, one card" bears the word
“Food," another "Ooh" andghe dog
has been, taught to bring either the one

tinguish between ,the meanings of the

in this case uses' the faculty of sight or

W
SOME SOUTHERN ENIGMAB.

The departed judge is eulogized as a
gentleman'of ancient lineage, though
everybody knowa that his grandfather,
the Revolutionary officer, was the first of
the name that anybody ever heard of,
and a man of rare culture, though a line
of Cicero or Herodotus would have put
such culturetoa most trying test. As
an instance of the cuigmas that face the
student of Southern life, one may cite
one of the chief’bOasts of slavery, " that
in creating a leisure class it stimulated
intellectual activi ." It certainly gave a
stimulus to party politics and the kind 'of
talent required to conduct them. and
forensic ability was never wanting. but
anything like such a barren literary
record [as is presentedlby the» Southern
States could hardly be paralleled in the

history of abysivilizcd community. Yet
theolaim of unsual “culture"is one Of

the‘commlmest' madeiu behalf of social
Southern superiority. That very promi-

. Dent feature of Southern life, “Southern

pride,"is a much mere modern institu-
tion than it would fain believe itself to:
be. If it were confined to the refly old
colonial families who are still prominent
it would be perfectly intelligible and
perfectly admissible, and the hunting up
of imaginary cavaliers would be quite
superfluous, but it is not. A North
‘Carolinian educated and well-to-do slave-
holder, for instance, would have been in
no way behindhand with this indescri-
bable kind. of sectional and social pride ;_
but of all the colonies to which England
over gave birth, North Carolina was in
its origin probably the most essentially
plebeiau, and, moreover, remained ple-
bcian and rude to a very late date.
South Carolina, on the other hand,
which was only semi-English in origin,
rapidly developed asmall and well-tc-do
upper class, with commercial and urban
on well as more planting interests. In
Virginia a majority, I should say, of
those families who claim and. receive the
appellation of “good," who bug to them-
selves the magic but elastic title of F. F.
V., would not care to go back much be-
yond the Revolutionary War in the work
of investigation, and would shrink from
the horny hands of the honest settler
whom they would in all probability find,
are in hand. barring the genealogical“
path to the traditional cavalier. .

 

was: RESULT or A "PERSONAL.”

A funny story is told of a lady who was
foolish enough to answer a ‘ personal" in a
daily paper which stated that a young
man was desirOus of making the acquain-
tance of a young woman, with a view to
matrimony. She carried on a long cor-
respondence with the advertidcr, taking,
however. the precaution to haveher let-
tors copied by a confidential friend. She .
always sent the copies and retained the
originals. Her answers came regal arly,
but her correspondent was quite as cau-
tions as she was herself. for he always
employed a type-writer, and she had no
means ofgbccoming familiar with his

3. handwriting. Finallhnfterh good deal

of shall. a meeting was agreed uponbe-
tween the pair.- and the lady was _some—
* what surprbedrwhcn :she arrived at the

lag in his bhtton-hole the flower which
was decided-upon as the means cfide'ntio
fication. . They both acknowledged their
folly by indulging in a hearty laugh and
went home together, fully resolved to
have nothing to do with these traps to
catch the unwary, called “persODa ' "

FEARFULLY COMMON.

There is something startling in the rapId in-
crease of Kidney diseases among the American
people within a few year past. Many causes pc-
culiar‘to certain classes tend to produce and ag-
gravate these troubles—as, for example, careless
living, overwork, and exposure. Dr. David Ken-
nedy, of Rondouf, N. Y., is often congratulated on
the exce ional success of his medicine called FA-
vORL’I‘ REMEDY in arresting and radically cur-
ing these most ' painful and dangerous disorders.
Proofs of this, like the following, are constantly
brought to his attention and are published by him
for the sake of thousands of other sufferers whom
he desires to reach and benefit. The letter, there- ,
fore, may be of vital im rtance to you or to some
one whom you know. t is from one of the best
known and popular druggists in the fine and grow-
ing city from which he writes—and doubtless where
those ma find Mr. Crawford at his place of busi-
ness on t .e corner of Main and Union Streets:

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. March 22, 1884.
Dr. D. Kennedy, Random, N. Y. :

Dean Sm: For ten years I had been afflicted
with Kidney disease in its most acute form. What
I suffered must be Left to the imagination—for no
one can ap reciate it except who have gone
through it. resorted to many physicians. and to
many different kinds of treatment, and spent a
great deal of mono , only to find myself older- and
worse than ever. may say that I used 25 bottles
of a preparation widely advertised as a the for
this precise sort of troubles, and found it entirely
useless—at least in my case. _

Your FAVORITE REMEDY—I say it with a per-
fect recollection of all that was done for me be-
sides is the only thing that did me the slightest good;
and I am happy to admit that it ve me rmanent

complaint. ~ .
