Several men gathered abont a liorf& rear the western market conuncntiujj upon tho prominence of tho beast's rib and general lankincss. Tlio ani mal belonged to a farmer living near Ypsilanli, and, it was said, never per mitted gravs to grow under its feet on the road. The; farmer was not pleased with the remarks and tho strong in ferences that the poor thing bad never realized the K iisation of ecm and oats. "What do you call your horse?" was asked. "Cyclone, and don't ho look if?" re plied the man from the rural tlisttiets. "Cyclone! What a name! He certain ly looks as if one) bad struck him." "That's what happened to him, my friend. It wiv. just liLn this. You re member the awful bre e ze we had out to Ypsilanti about three years ago? Ihis feller was a sucking colt at tho time aud was in tho barn with two lmrses. Tho cyclone, regular old hummer, came along and thrashed the barn olT its legs and dropped it nigh on to 100 yards away. Alter too twister iiaei rai.seel ai: tho hob, fences aud sheds it could we went out to lock tnin-rs up. The two herseN were Htone elead ami the) colt would you helievo it: was nowhere tc bo found. "Next day I turned over the ben- coop, which lay in the lield half a mile 11 way. Kight in that coop and laying on the tloor which laced down was tho colt. lie commenced kicking when be heard us, aud we took him out in u hurry. He wasn't scared a bit, I tell yon, and was cool as a cucumber, mo neighbors nay they saw tho coop genu 1 through the air and the colt after if. The little feller taught the coop and got iusiele tf it to save himself, that's what ho did. That's tho plain truth, and if you don't Lelicvo it ask tho colt. Ciood day, strangers."

There aro J33 principal examiners, with perhaps 20C assistants. Every examiner and every assistant examiner has bis own special ty. Li t us tako t lie ca-'o, Kay, of u pool nventor living in Oregon, lie makes a aluable invention and desires to ob tain a patent. Ho sends his application with 15 to tho commissioner of pat ents. It is referred to the examiner hav ing chargo of that peculiar class ef in ventions. It is his duty to reject it ii anything can be found 011 which to bast rejection. Nearly 000,000 patents have been granted in tho United States, aud probaLly more than 1,000,000 in tho rest of tho world. If any cf theso anticipate tho invention, the examiner must reject tho application. It is not necessary that exactly the same thing should havo existed before, for if any thing substantially similar can bo found tho applicant must go to tho wall. But, more than this, if anything similar has been described in any printed publica tion, iu any language, unywhero in thG world, or if without being patented or described in print it has been used any where in the United States, the exam iner should reject. The rub comes all tho time upon tho tlegree of similarity which will consti tute an anticipation of the invention. A tremendous responsibility, it will be seen, is thus thrown upon the examiner. Ho wants to bo safe. It is both his pridoand his duty not to allow a patent to go out that ought to have been re jected. Th'e consequeuco is that a great many examiners reject almost every thing on tho first examination. No mat ter bow broadly new the invention may be, something can always bo found that is akin to it. The nearest thing that can be found is used as a basis for rejection. Washington Star. In a news item in Tho Sun a doctor is quoted as saying that a day's absten tion from footl will cure summer com plaint. Some years ago tho writer cured dysentery of several weeks' duration by taking a few wincglassful doses of the following formula at half hour intervals viz, a tablepoouful of table salt nud two of cider vinegar in a pint of water. Tho relief wus permanent. The remedy was recently used by a person suffering from a customary smnmer complaint, nd two doves effecteel a cure of tho rouiplaint. K. U. D. in New York Sun.

Iking rich and proud, the old railroad magnate would give a reasonable for time if this incident in his career had never be'eome public. He had left his cttice one afternoon, and iu front cf tho building found a crowd, attracted by a passing procession. He was pressing his way through when stOFpcel by a brilliantly haudsome young woman whose face wore a troubled look. Sho wanted to reach a street in the north western part of the city aud was at a loss what route to take. Ho gallantly helped her out of the crush, put her on the right car and told her where to get off. Wanting to know tho timo a few miuutes later, ho dovo into his watch pocket, only to find it unoccupied. A little profanity was followed by a chuckle', for the watch taken was a cheap affair ho was carrying while his timepiece was being repaiml. He had never suspected the beautiful young lady, but tho next day sho ap peared iu tears and restored tho stolen watch. Slio was sorely pressed for money, bad uo one to whom sho could go for help and had yielded to a mo mentary impulse. But her couscieuco pave her no rest until sho repented and made restitution. She had thrown her self on his mercy, aud the old gentle man was deeply moved, lie insisted on her taking $50, to bo returned if sho was ever in n position to repay, other wise to bo regarded as a gift. Over come by a joyful reaction, she almost fainted and would have fallen but for the support of her benefactor. When sho was gone, ho felt as a man who had done a goexl deed and was on the best of terms with himself. Ho even looked in the glass to smile congratulations at himself. There he discovered that his big diamond pin was gone. The long pocke tbook was missing from tho inside pocket of his coat. With a weak hand he reached for his own $500 chronom eter, and that, too, had vanished. He told no one but his wife, whom ho sworo to secrecy. That i9 how tho affair got out. Detroit Free Press. Trouble Caused by an "I." Editor Clugstou of tho Spiketown Blizzard looked out of tho front window of his ofliee, hurriedly grabbed his hat and darted cut through the back door, says the Chicago Journal. Tho last issuo of Tho Blizzard had contained a personal item to this effect: "Our young friend, George Corbin bou of Thatchcrsville, was in town again last Suuday. Kumor has it that ho will soon lead to tho altar a beauti ful belle of Spiketown. Georgo is one of the sold youug men of our neighbor ing city." Editeir Clugston had written it "solid young men," but he knew it would be of no use to try to explain tho mistake to tho large, athletic young woman who was approaching the oflico. And so when Miss Euphorbia Lick ladder, the acknowledged belle of Spiketown, walked in at tiro front door a few moments later and inquired in a deep, tragio voice for tho editor, Mr. Clugstou was emerging from a back alley 2Ja blocks away and making for tho open country. Rewarded the Kogue. Von Jdoltko was an early riser and loved early risers. Once, whilo roaming around his Silcsian estate at daybreak, ho found a peasant woman bearing on her back n sack of potatoes which sho had just dug, making a load heavy enough for a mule. "Hero's a thaler for yon," said the great field marshal. "You see, tho early bird catches the worm." Afterward he found out that she wa9 a night thief who had ravaged his fields persistently, but whom his steward had never got up early enough to catch. Boll. A person suffering with boils should eschew pastry, gravies and every kind of meat excepting lean mutton. The boils may be brought to a head by using a warm poultice of camomile flowers or boiled white lily root, by fermenta tion with hot water, or by stimulating plasters. Good Housekeeping.
