XT WEEK THIS CITY WILL SEE A unique gathering—a centennial congress of inventors—to celebrate the hundredth anni- versary of the American patent system. The most distinguished American inventors will be here. President Harrison will preside and Edison is down for a speech. This assembly will be the apotheosis of ingenuity. A plausi- ble claim will be made to prove that civiliza- tion is nothing more than the totel aggregate of inventions, and that claim will be backed up by specifications. Civilization is Christianity, said Whately; civilization is science, said Dar- win; civilization is invention, says Edison. Some surprising things will be insisted on at this congress.

It has been rendered thus flexible by soaking it in acid, which has dissolved out of it all its mineral parts, leaving only the animal portion. This portion makes about one-third of the bone, which fact might surprise some people who suppose that their bonesare almost wholly lime. “There are funny things about bones other than funny bones,” said an osteologist con- nected with the Smithsonian Institution to « writer for Tar Stan. “For example, the bones of birds are hollow and filled with warm air Impending Crisis.

PRESIDENT TAYLOR AND CABINET. Before me is an admirable picture of Presi- dent Taylor, which Mr. Brady says was ob- tained at some trouble; but when the old gen- eral consented to sit for him he was one of the most patient sitters he ever had. This was taken in 1849. Subsequently it was copied in photo- and is one of the finest pictures in the gal- y- The National Intelligencer of Monday, May 7, 1849, says: “On Saturday morning last Mr. Brady was honored by a visit from Presi- dent Taylor, of whom no less than three pic portraits is greatly euhanced” Mr. Fill- more and the cabinet of Taylor and were also taken, which the db said is to be engraved.

MIONTING JIM STEEDMAX. Here is oneIcame near overlooking—Jim Steedman, fighting Jim Stedman. He was so well known here that his name will recall him to many, Iam sure. Ihavea hundred stories told of him. but one comes to my mind. He was going into one of those te fights which took place around Lookout Mountain fecta. Its under part (les bas joues) was the reverse of oval, and approximated to the pear shape of Louis Phillippe’s visage. The nose at the nostrils was very Wide and at the bridge tly. Her ¢ the inner cornei too low at The eyelids seemed drawn down along with them. She had avery poor forehead and the narrowness of the face across the eyes showed that the mass of brain behind was too limited in quantity and had not, such as it was, room for easy play. I these defects have become nccentuated. But I think her profile, from an wsthetic stand- point, more beautiful than in the triumphant phase of her strange life because of the purify- ing action of sorrow and (I doubt not) con- ition, Ite harmony is marvelous. ‘The charm vanishes when the front face is presented. ———+e-—____ Gold That Goes Into Molars, Interview with a Boston Dentist.

Others get it from the blacksmith’s bellows ‘across the country and fixed it under the trees back of his father's house, where he fashioned the different of his strange machine. Everybody jeered him and laughed at him and called him a fool— everybody but one. ‘The neighbor's daughter, whom he was to marry, believed in him. She came and stood over his bellows under the trees and even helped him. She brought her sewing and knitting and watched his progress in the crude room which he made fis work shop. ‘There they worked and talked and planned all the winter of 1867-68, and in the spring he turned out a finished machine, ready for the standing grain. In time it was set in the wheat, but it not been there twenty minutes before he saw that it was fatally de- fective. The year's work was gone. Again and again and again he tackled the ditticulties and finally, after heart-sick years, in 1874 he had solved the problem which the old- est mechanic had declared to be chimerical and impossible. The machine did the work splen- ly. A Wire's FIDELITY. Then began his fight with others who had laughed at him and who now claimed the inven- tion as theirs. There had been hundreds of failures. The whole cereal shore was strewn CARE OF CLOTHES. ‘If a man would be well dressed, however, it is all important that he should take care of his clothes. Let him take off his best things when he gets home, hang up his coat and fold up his trousers on a'shelf, with the creases together. It costa very little to dress well—much less, in fact than ‘many persons spend in dressing badly. ‘The thing is well worth studying how toaccomplish. It is not necessary that we shall ural taste. Men's apparel, un- like that of women, is so conventionalized’ and susceptible of so little variation that one can- not go wrong if he simply takes the trouble to observe what is worn by the men of ‘his “ac. uaintance who are known as being well iressed. ‘There is perfect safety in copying “In another way also it pays to be well .
