His letter closes with the words: "Boston is the Ath? ens of America: you can't deny that." Perhaps we don't want to. Let's see. Athens, like Boston, is a city of a great and glorious?past. Athens, like Boston, more or less, has produced many illustrious sons-soldiers and sailors of dauntless courage, philoso? phers with mighty minds, statesmen abb- i.i found nations in deserts, poets, sculptors, painters, architects with whom rivalry seems almost hopeless. Tit.- world-famed Athenians, like the world-famed Bostonians. are all dead, ami report hath it that in each of these towns the ghosts regard the living pop? ulation with consternation verging on despair m l git i tl lots of room n the silowalk. Considering all this we ate willing to admit our amiable friend's contention..if he really wants us to do so. and even to put his assertion in the most explicit form. Boston was to America what Athens was to Greece: Boston is to America what Athens L to Greece. Now. is he content, or does he realize that bis plea was decidedly mote "unkind" than our criticisms? WHAT TO WRITE PUZZLED HIM. The presence of a hotel guest who is able to write, but yet has traveled so little that he couldn't perform the sim? ple act ..!' registering-, is a novel- on ? and yet that is just what happened in a Washington uptown hotel one day last w.ek, says the Washington Times. The individual in question was -a plainlooking elderly man with fairly good clothes, though not stylish, and hi's whole air bespoke him a granger. It is quite likely that he had never before sp.-nt a night in all his life away from the farm. With him was a woman nearly of the same age. who was un? questionably his wife. When the polite clerk gave the stranger from the rural districts a 'pen and shoved the register to him, the latter looked visibly embar? rassed, but he took the pen and bent over the book as though he had nerved himself to some desperate task. He started to write ami then stopped and began to think. The clerk. of course, didn't know what the trouble was. or else he would have volunteered his services. After a painful paus,, the ruralist started in to scratching once mot-,-, hut h,. hadn't gone far before h, mad.- another balk. Fortunately [here was a,, mi,, else waiting to put down his autograph. Att.-r the expiration of fully five min? utes the farmer threw down his pen with a sigh of relief, wiped the perspir? ation from bis brow and rejoined his belter half, who bad been waiting in tie- lobby during all the ordeal. The room clerk was curious to see a signa lure that required such an unusual length of time to execute. The room clerk is a solemn man, but he nearly w.-tii ..if into a tit when he saw.

Canada, has devised a wonderful contrivance in the line of harvesting machinery. Although the reaper and hinder, which cuts and bun? dles the grain at the sane- time, was in bygone days regarded as a wonderful invention, it is now a machine of such common use that it excites little or no comment". Mr. County's .iirivano raises anew the astonishment which has largely died out. The new machine cuts the grain and thrashes it simultaneously. 11 is start? ed in a 1'edd in the morning and at night the grain can be taken to i he el? evator, and the field is ready to lie plowed once more. The grain is cm by a bar similar to that on a mow ing ma? chine, from which il is thrown upon a sheet of canvas arranged on rollers and taken up into the thresher. There it is thrashed and windowed and then carried to the opposite side of the ma? chine, where it falls into bags, which, as they till up, are in turn tied up an.! thrown off. The work is done perfectly. The grain can be eut at any height re? quired, c.s out absolutely el, an and there is no waste. Under ordinary cir? cumstances fifteen acres a day can eas? ily 'be cut. Tin- machine is somewhat complicated, but it is very simple to work, two men onlv being required to handle it. while four horses will draw one large enough to have a six-foot cut? ting bar. Air. Conroy is entirely satisfied with the work done by Iiis new machine, and expects to see it generally adopted by farmers operating large pieces of I land. HE WAS JUST IIOA1E FROM CUBA. "I had a mightly interesting time in Cuba," said the man whose was di? vided from the back of his neck by a thick fring,- of hair, according ;,, lb,- Washington Star. ??Wer,- you with the army'.'" inquired a commercial traveler, who had tilted bis chair against a tree just ,,inside th ? hotel. "(if course." replied the first speaker, spreading his feet apart ami swaying backward and forward. "That's what made it exciting." "I didn't see you mentionel in any >?:' tin- reports." remarked the person "who is always making an effort to humble j somebody's pride. i "oh. I've been mentionel in a lol of them," was the genial reply. "People who know- anything about such mat? ters admit that some of the best work of the campaign was don,- by me. One of the best things 1 did was to take a. Spanish officer and seven privates." "All by yourself?" "Certainly. 1 didn't have a bit of as? sistance. The m-xt day 1 went out and took a lot of cavalrymen." "How many'.'" inquired th, skeptic, whose face showed traces of mingled surprise and suspicion. "Oh. 1 didn't stop to count 'em." "Didn't you get wounded ?" asked, the man who was leaning against the tree. "On,-,, or twiee I got a little scratch such as a man is always liable to get when he is knocked around in that way. The next ibing 1 did when I go: through with the cavalrymen was to take a lot of commissary wagons be? longing to the Spanish, and I followed that up by taking a castle on the morn? ing of the next day. and a fort in lb. afternoon." "Mister." said the disagreeable man. slowly and with indignation, "here in Washington we see some of th,- finesl specimens of almost anything you can call to mind, but I wish to state, and I may remark incidentally thai 1 came from Texas, and fully realize the re? sponsibility I assume, that you are the biggest liar who ever walked on Penn? sylvania avenue." Th,- good-natured reeonteur looked very angry for a moment, but the ex? pression of his face gradually mellowed into one of geltle reproach, lie mere? ly answered: "I aint anything of the kind. I'm a photograph, r." A CLEVER OLD SALT. Here is an interesting story of a New Zealand skipper, says Spare Moments The town of Greymouth. in Tasmania, grew very fast, and mines of coal as well as gold were opened, trade sprang up with Hobart. and a genial skipper ?from that port entertained all hearers at Hie hotel with glowing accounts of the beauty of the Hobart girls. Ladies were scarce in Ilms,- early days, and the fun waxing fast each one in joke com missioned the skipper to bring him a wife next lime at L2o passage money. The ship sailed and the joke was forgotten by the would-be wits, but not by the skipper: that astute old sal: calculated that young ladies at each passage money paid heller than timber or potatoes even, so he went over, and with glowing accounts of the rich bachelors at Greymouth waiting for wives, persuaded about a dozen Ho? bart girls to go out on speculation to order. Arriving at Greymouth. he calmly re? ported to each Joker -horror stricken specially were the married one?thai the commission was executed, and the consignment to hand- C20 to pay. Twenty pounds was not much to pay in those days for such a good joke, es? pecially one of a delicate nature that required hushing up, so nearly all paid up and laughed. The sweet young II,, bartians soon got husbands or situa? tions, and all ended well. Weather Force? WASHINGTON, Sept.
