SCHOALES, Constance 1323x4, t f TO BEAT THE BRIBER. OBJECT OF AN ELECTRIC CONTRI- VANCE SHOWN AT THE FAIR. You Press the Button—This Remarkable Device Does the Rest—,Reeords the Votes and Counts Them C431. An honest ballot machine is one of the noblest works of inventive genius at the World's Fair -the very apotheosis of tbe "you touch the button and I'll do the rest" idea. It stands on the west sidel of the main floor of the Electricity Building and there is nothing to herald it -such as the angel with the flaming arc -light that acts as a beacon for the General Electric Company just beyond it. On a placard above it is a modest challenge in the form of $100 reiterd for a' ballot that cannot be marked • for identification. Then there is in charge a veyy-courteous young man who has a most matter-of- fact speech that he reels off a hundred times a -day to groups of eager Jistenera, mostly men of the intelligent voter type. The machine itself is a steel box about seven feet high and five feet square at DEMOCRATIC] BALLOT FOR GOVENOR JOHN DOE. FOR L.T.

It is painted black with gilt - tering knobs and stripes on, it, and might be anything from a safe with a combina- tion lock to a spiritualistic medium's cabinet. But as a matter of fact it could give pointers to both of these in safety and ingenuity and can hold the secrets of 10,000 men, make every man of them honest and defeat the ends of the briber, Every one knows the way of conduct- ing an election by the Australian ballot systeen. It is animprOvement on the old method, but the blind man and the illiterate may still be made victims, the infirm and aged become weary and dis- guated wit - the complicated rules and the briber finds ways to tempt the Morally weak. For many of these rea- sons ballots" must be thrown out, election judges and clerks are as prone to err in a sum of addition as other men, so even after all the trouble taken to vote you are not even sure of being counted. This is the way it shall be, for it is in- evitable that some simple, accurate, time -saving machine should take the place of all this cumbersome method. In the balloting booth where you are registered and entitled to vote sit the clerks and judge of elections, also a re- presentative of each party for this, pur- pose of challenging voterse • Having 'passed all these safely, you go through ,a little 'gate and fall into line, awaiting , your turn to vote. Or you consult the 'official -poster on the wall, which is a fac-simile of the one at the back of the cabinet. There are three long, perpen- dicular rows of tickets: Democratic, yel- low; Republician, red, and Prohibition, blue. If their is a labor ticket it will be green; if populist, violet. The colors are to be legalized and cannot be chang- ed to the confusion of the illiterate. • Having made up your ticket you step into the cabinet alone. If you want to vote a -straight party ticket all you have to do is to push in all the but. tons at the right hand.of the row of tick- ets having your party color. Each one registers one vote for one office. It will take 3 ou about 10 seconds to do, it. If, '44 - -4 IMES 'MUM MOM IC: II 441 I t BACK OF 'VOTING MACHINE, SHOWING THE I COUNTERS.

It Was 1- combat to the Death for Both, 13r; tight on in a Strange Way. John 'Kreutzer own e a forty -acre farm on Ithe the Rockford fork of Brush Creek, jitst over the linnfrom this coun- ty.

YesterdayLhowever, the bull bean frantically cavorting around the barnyard.. The stallion for a time looked 1 with apparent o consterna- tion alt the queer antics' of his erstathile sober friend, and then he began l• trotting aroundi after the infuriated animal as it ran from one side of. thc enelosure to the !other. ° Fin- ally the bull, after almost exhausting himse I in an effort seerni gly to throw *so:re iingoff, suilitdenly turned and made for th stallion/ The near , tactics of the b 11 took thilt horse by Surprise, and it wa• only after)his flank I had been se- vcrel* gored that he rea114ed the situa- tion, -and then b gan a batt have l'thrilled the heart of a fight r.

At last, after struggling all over the t'ard, the bell made one grand rush, catcpiag a liorn in the horse's groin and disemboweling him. The noble animal sank to the ground with a groan and ex- , pir. The bull staggered' way a short distance and fell. 3, r.

Cheerfulness has been called " the bright weather of the heart." What the sun is to the day, what joy is to the stricken soul, that the cheerful one is in the home. A writer tells of a visit :andof coming to the dining room one morning in the midst of a three days' rain. The fire !smoked, the room was chilly. Father was igrim, and mother tired, and baby Polly fretful, and Bridget undeniably cross. Soon Jack came in with the breakfast rolls from the baker'e.

The smoke ceased and the coals began to glow, and five minutes aster Jaek came, they had gathered around the table and were eating as cheerfully as -possible. This seems simple in the telling, and Jack never knew he had done anything at'all, but he had changed the whole moral atmosphere of the room, and started a gloomy day pleasantly for five people. "He is always so," said his mother, when her goett spoke to her afterward, "just so sunny and kind and ready all the- time." Reader, shall you and' I resolve more, than ever to cultivate the "merry heart" which " doeth good like a medicine." What Mother Should do. • As the boys grow up make oompsnions of them; then they will not seek companion- ship elsewhere. Let the ohildren make noise sometimes; their happiness is as important as your nerves. Respect their Bale secrets ; if they have concealment, worrying them will never make them tell and patience will probably do the work. Allow them as they grow older, to have opinions of their own; make them individ- uals not mere echoes. Remember that without physical health mental attainment is worthless; let them lead free, happy lives, which will strength - both body and mind. Bear in mind that you are largely re- sponsible for your child's inherited char- acter and have patience with faults and failings. Talk hopefully to your children of life and its possibilities; you have no right to oppress them because you have suffered. Teach boys and girls the actual faults of life as soon as they are old enough to un- derstand them, and give them the sense of responsibility without saddening them. Find out *dist their special tastes are and develop them, instead of spending time, money and patience in forcing them into studies that are repugnant to them. Bodily Tolerance. The body is more tolerant of injury than most people think. Every one is familiar with the fact that a bullet lodged deep_ in the flesh does not in all caves_cause serious trouble. ,Nature prevents irritation by surrounding the ball with a sort of sac, in which condition it is sell to be " encyeted." In this case the oompaintive emoothnees of tho object favors its enoystment ; but the same thing may ocourwith no such favoring condition. A man had been badly lacerated in the leg by broken glass. !The wounds healed under treatment, but a soinewhat uncom- fortable feelingremained, and in walking., the/Man was unable to bring his foot square- ly to the ground. About three years later an increase in this unoomfortable feeling, together with a atiffness and pain in the knee -joint, led him to enter an hospital, Where a deep incision in the neighborhood of the old soar revealed & fragment of window glass, one inch. wide and two inches long. A sharp corner projected into the cavity f he thigh -joint. Three smaller fragments re found imbedded deeper in the tissues. In each case the fragment was surrounded by a mals of tough tissue, which acted like the protective sac around the imbedded ball. So effectual was the hardened tissue In protecting the adjacent parts that there was neither pus nor the slightest inflamms- tion. The man left the hospital well on the ninth day, and the leg subsequently proved to be as sound as the other. Another case is Insomerespects still more remarkable. A lady, while eating a piece of pie, fell into a terrible fit of coughing. A physician could find. no cause for the trouble, and thought that whatever foreign substance had produced it bad been swallow- ed ; but the patient insisted that there was still some obstruction which not only choked her, but impaired her power of speeoh. For six weeks she remained nearly speech- less and under constant treatment. After that time she slightly improVed in health and voice, but without permanent relief. At length, nearly two years after the acci- dent, Dr. Ransom, of New York, was con - suited, and removed a piece of glass from the larynx, hanging between the vocal cords. It was triangular in shape, and measured on its thrfe edges sevemeigths of an inch, one inch, and one and a quarter inches respectively. The woman's voice at once improved and the irritation mainly disappeared, though a slight swelling remained. Thus the perman- ent results were exceedingly slight, though so big a fragment of glass had remained in the larynx for a year and nine months. Is Life Worth Living. On a bright October day not long ago two men who, forty years before, had been friends and clasamates at Harvard, met un- der the elms of Boston Common, and passed each other without recognition. Mr. A—went down Beacon street, and entered a stately house in which a famous literary club met that afternoon. They dis- cussed the hackneyed question, "Is life worth living ?" Mr, A—read a paper which, in a cynical, indifferent way, proved to the satisfaction of hishearere that life was not worth anything. He was a slight man, with a keen, intel- lectual face. In his native state he was well known for his wealth, his learning and hie high social position. All the resources from which affluence and brilliancy and power on be forced into a man'e career had been within his reach since boyhood ; but his face bore no other record than that of a sickly refinement and weary discontent, and when he pronounced human life a failure, his hearers knew that he gave the honest verdict of his sixty years. It did not occur to them that they had been sixty useless years; sixty years in which the intellect had grown diseased from self-absorption, and the heart had withered like an unfruitful plant. The other old man, in his patched shoes and coarse coat, crossed the Common with a swift, energetic step, and entered Treiionti Temple. There was a meeting there of dele• gates from the mission -fields of the far west. He came to report the progress of civiliza- tion and Christianity along the wonderful Columbia river, on Puget Sound, in the val- ley of the Frazer, whose mountain walls rival the Alps, in the ports of Alaska, and in the fog -bound islands of the Pacific. He was a tall, powerfully built man, his hair as white as snow. His rugged face bore marks left by self-denial and severe privations, but through it shone the light of a lofty purpose and a high faith. " That man," said a bystander, "chose forty years ago to give up the agreeable as- sociations which he would have enjoyed in New England, to do God's work on the western frontier. His salary has never been more than three hundred dollars a year. But he understands the importance of his work. "The political future of. our nation lies largely in the development of thp great Western Empire, and he, with hundreds of other obscure martyrs, has given his life to found the new towns and future cities of our western world on Christian principlee." When the perils which he had met and the hardships which had ground down his life from youth to old age were described by one of the speaker. who introduced him to the audience, he answered cheerffilly that they had only fitted bim the I better for his work. His voice rose like al trumpet as he told of great provinces yet, to be civilized, and of masses of men, Indiaus, Chinks, negroes and corrupt whites, but allis brothers, needing, 'lull some of them wai, ing to be told of Ceriat. That eveniog a friend met him hnrryiee to the station. " What, going back ti you. : work again ?" he exclaimed. "After forty years' absence you ought to give a few days to your friends, and to rest in youri native New England." " I have Lit t time," he said, smiling ; "1 am ae oil man, aud ftere is so much to do !" An hoer later, he sat in the train rushing toward the setting sun. As he thought of the vast provinces in the west filled with tribes of men from every quarter of the globe waiting to hear the message of hope and cheer which he had to bring, the blood throbbed in his old body, and his eyes glowed with joy. " Dear Saviour 1" he whispered, "1 thank Thee that I have still a little more life for this work whioh Thou hest given me to do." So these men went each his way. One was like a noble ship aground on a desert coast, its sails hanging idle in the sun, its hull crumbliug to dust, unused and worth- less. The other was happy and eager in his work, his influence a blessing and a benison in every community in which he had lived. Can the story of these two men help our readers to decide whether life is worth liv- ing or not ?-Youth's Companion, Cradle Song. When Mrs. Emma C.

Into my being -such wonderful things! • Where He Belonged. A clergyman who must have believed in preaching rightousness seven days in the week had his attention attracted by &jockey who appeared to be trying to take in a simple gentlemen by selling him a broken - winded horse for s sound one. The story is related in Argonaut. The minister drew the gentleman aside, and advised him to be on his guard, at the same time pointing out the horse's weak points. The gentleman thanked/ him, and the bargain was off, The jockey was net- tled. "Parson," said he, "I hal much rather hear you preach than to see you interfering in this way between man and man." "Very well," answered the -clergyman, "if you had been where you ought to have been last Sunday, you might have heard me." "Where was that ?" asked the horse, dealer, "In the state -prison," said the minister. Not the Same Name. A lady who prides herself upon always re- membering the name of a person whom she has once met, had a droll experience the other day. At a railway station she encountered a man whose face was familiar to her, and whom she soon remembered having seen at the house of a friend some months before. With the utmost graciousness of manner, she turned to the ecratiger, and .aid: "Isn't this Mr. Tombstone, whom I met at Mrs. Lyman's ?" The stranger looked at her with a baffling expression of countenance. may have met you at Mrs. Lyman's," he said, "but you have somewhat twisted my name. I am Mr. Stonegrave." The Banana. The banana,says a writer in Goldthvvaite's Geographical Magazine, goes back to the earliest daye. Alexander's eoldiers, as Pliny says joined the sages of India, seated in its shade and partaking of its delicious fruits. Hence the name sapientum, given the plant, which likewise bears the name of Jupiter's fair daughter, Musa. Now it has been shown that the banana is of Malayan origin. How did it get to India and South America and Mexico ! Tho feet of birds have borne seed a full ten thousand miles, while the cocoanut has floated well nigh the world around in the great ocean currents. but the cultivated banana has no seeds, nor has it a casing like the globular cocoanut to float it around over the waters. Then it must have been carried by man. Wild varieties of banana heve been found in Ceylon, Cochin China, and the Phillip - pines. These, of course, have seeds, but they are inferior to the long -cultivated var- ieties. The banana is cultivated by suckers, and it is in this way that the plant is per- petuated indefinitely. The banana belongs to the lily family, and is a developed tropical lily, from which by ages of cultivation the seeds have been cul- tivated, while the fruit, for which it has been eliminated, has greatly expanded. In relation to the bearing qualities of this fruit, Humboldt, who early saw the wonders of the plant, said that the ground that would grow ninety-nine pounds of potatoes would grow thirty-three pounds of wheat, but that the same ground Would- grow four thousand pounds of bananas. The banana possesses all the essentials to the sustenence of life. Of wheat alone, or potetoes alone, this cannot be said. When taken as a steady diet the banana is cooked -baked dry in the green state, pulped and boiled in water as a soup, or cut in slices and fried. The leaves of the banana, often six feet long, and two feet wide, are tender, and the strong winds of the tropics soon 'tears them in strips, thereby adding to their grace and beauty. The banana is a fruit that beast and bird, as well as man, are fond of, and the owner, when he lives in a sparsely set- tled country, must protect his plantation by a fence of some thorny plant. -A little girl, walking one day with her mother in a graveyard, and reading one af- ter another the praises of those who slept beneath the turf, Paid, "Mamma, I wonder where they bury all the Sinners ?"
