Tt is certain, however, that the i ily did not make their ap pearance in ussia udtil the fourteenth century. In the year 1841, Andrew Kobyla ,migrated from Prussia to Mos cow, and entered the service of the Grand Duke Simeon the Fierce. The descendants of Kobyla held high posi tions, and the fifth in direct descent from him was Roman Jurievitch, who died in 1548, leaving a son Nikita Boianovitch Jurief, who by hi mar riage with the Princess of Busdal (a direct descendant from a brother of St. Alexander Nevskoi)/who was allied to the royal race of Rurik; and a daughter who became Ozarina by her marriage with Ivan the Terrible. iia was One of the regency during the minority of Foodor I.; ad his eldest son, Feodor, under the name of Philarete, was elevated to the rank of Archnpandrite and Metropolitan during the reign of the false Dunitri. The Romanoffs sup ported the party that tendered the Rus sian orowVi to the Pohish prince, and Philar.te had gone with that view to Poland,' when the opposition became sc violent as to change entirely the state of affairs, and the Poles imprisoned Philarete. The national party then pro ceeded to the election of a native sover eign, who-should be as closely allied s possible by blood to the race of Burik, and after nmh hesitation and many re jectioxjs, they selected Michael Fodro vitch Romanoff, ~the son of Philarete, and the representative, through his grandmother, of the .royal house of RuriR..

Democrat.J Afw ag a nteman by the Uam* aot arrived in Woodlan4 and took rooms at the capital HoteL . He sted that he was an En Aish fnan and that his object in visiting daornia was to 0nd a man by the name of Agernon Braningsford,who had left his Nome in England in the year 185. Mr. Eldtedge, who is cousm of the missing man, arrived in San Fran sisoo about one month ago. He hap pened to step into the Capital Hotel saloon and overheard the barkeeper, Patsy Donnell incidentally mention the name of "l d Ag." Mr. Eldredge thinking that possibly this was an ellip sis of the name of the man of whom he was in search -made further inquiry about him. . Donnelly informed bim that " Old Ag was a.sortof "dead beat," whom he lad known for years as a tramp, ad supposed that every saloon keeper in the land was equally familiar with him, but he knew nothing of 'his history.. At present he was engaged in sawing wood for a gentleman near by,. and managed to spend hid money for drink about as fast as he earned it. Mr. Eldredge, having been directed, then sought out the man in question; whonag he found in that healthful occupation, and at once recognized him as a man of English birth, which greatly increased his hopes of sucQss. After a serios of questions were answered by "Old A " it became very apparent to Mr. Eldrefge that he was the same person he was looV ing for, notwithstanding his forlorn and dilapidated appearance. Finally Mr. Eldredge-who, by the way, is an Eng lish gentleman of the strictes type ventured the remark: "Well 'Oll Ag,' as theT seem to call you here, allow m11e to introduce myself as your cousin Rod ery Eldredge. I have come to tell you that your old father,Lord Brauningsford, is dead, and that you are heir to four fifths of his estate, which is about $2,000,000." To say that "Old Ag," was startled by the unexpecled news would not express one half, an the scehe which followed can be better imagined than described. Lord Branningsford, who was very wealthy, had two sons, one named Lionald and the other Agernon. In 1847 Lionald was married to a young lad of high birth by the name of Eliza Stratten. Agernon fnA a frenuent visitor At the family residence, and' ow ing to a quarrel between the twd broth ers over the young wife Agernon em barked for America, and nrrivell in San Francisco in the fall of 1850. According to his own story, he first engage as bookkeeper in the wholesale house of A. P. Hotaling, in which position he remained for a year and a half, when a defalcation in his accounts caused his discharge. He then went to mining, and his history from that epoch down to the time he was found a penniless tramp in this city is but the story of the many who have gone that way. About two years ago has brother died, and-only five months ago his father also died, leaving him heir to four-fifths of his estate, one fifth going to the cousin, who was made the residuary legatee if ho could prove Agernon's death. This he set out to do but coming to San Francisco he foundi the living heir a vagabond. Why the World Progreases. It was a favorite theory with Buckle that the world's progress is not made b~y the emisent goodness of men or the distinguished pieanness of men. In other words, he believed that goodness did not create civilization, but that the "forces of civilization " caused goodness and all of the world's progress. Hel never become weary in elaborating this opinion. It is the rock on which lhe sets out to build his "History of Civiliza 9on." All through that "mighty frag ment " in every chapter of that great u1n finished book we meet the idea. But no where is it more eloquently and forcibly stated than when ho 'wrote: "'phe gigantic crimes of Alexander or Napoleon became, after a time, void of effect, and the affairs of the world return to their former level. This is the ebb and flow of history, the 'perpetual flux to which by the lawvs of our nature we are subject. Above all this, there is a far higher movement; and as the tide rolls on, now advancing, now receding, there is, amid its endless fluctuations, one~ thing, and one alone, which endures forever. Tho actions of bad men produce only temporary evil, the action of good meni only temporary good; and eventually the good and the evil altogether subside, are naturalized by subsequent generations, abuorbed by the incessant movement of future ages. But the discoveries -of great men never leave us; they are im mortal; they contain those eternal truths which survive the shock of empires, out live the struggles of rival creeds, and witness the decay of successive religions. SAll these have their different measures band their different standards; one set of opinions for one age, another set for an other. They pass away like a~ dream; they are as the fabric of a vision, which . leaves not a rack behind. The discoveriesi t of genius alone remains; it is to~ them . we owe all that we no0W have; they aro for all ages and for all times; never 'young, and never old, they bear the f seed of their own life; they flow on in a Sperennial and undying stream; they are a essentially cumulative, and giving birth . to the additions which they subsequently t receive, they thus influence the most i distant posterity, and after the lapw' of centuries produce more effect than they were able to do even at the moment of s The B~oy at the Natural Bridge, Va.

Al. ter the pieces have been treated they an be covered with soap, being first lightly heated. IT is no easy matter to plugP a dia. moud drill hole from which there is a strong flow of water, frequently under great pressure. When a hole is to be plugged there are forced into .6 small bags of beans and flaiseed. ,eli plug, made of dry ph'ke, from #.an to fiteen feet in 'length, Ii drive, in after these bags and forces them forward in the drill hole; also, a hole is sometimes bored into the end of the plug, which hole Is filled with flaxseed. The flaxseed and beans are caused to swell to such an ex. tent by the hot water that the hole is Ms compactly filled as though closed with molten lead. Boma owoners should place their boil. ers under the care of competent men, and shourld not grudge the time necessary for frequent and thorough cleaning out. Boilers should not be blown out and pmptied while steam pressure is in them and the surrounding brickwork hot. This Is commonI one, but is an in jurious practice, and the cause of much of the hard scale in'boilers. If they they were allowed, to stand till quit. cold, much of the deposit could be washed out, but when the-boiler is emp. tied while all is still hot, the mud be comes baked into a hard crust ndt easily removed. Faw realize what an enormous akmount of power is stored up in coal, and how Little we really utilizb it. Prof. Rogers has put it Deptly thus : The dynamio value of one pound of good seam coal is equivalent to the work of a man a day, and three tons are equivalent to twenty years' hard work of 300 days to the year. The usual estimate of a four-foot seam is that it will yield one ton of good coal for every square yard, or about 5,000 tons for each square acre. Each square mile will then contain 8,200,000 tons, which, in their total capacity for the production of power, are equal to the labor of over 1,000,000 able-bodied men for twenty years. IF BELTS are allowed to become oov ered with grease, dirt, and resin, or to grow dry and hard, they Can not wrk air-tight on,the pulleys. Very often no more than twenty-five per cent. of the available power is obtained because of these neglects. Many persons think they obtain more driving power by plao ing a tightener against the belt ; but this gain is only the equivalent of the extra surface with which the belt is brought in contact by the tightener, and in the case of a horizontal belt this will be nxarly lost by friction, though on an upright belt the tigntenor may be useful. 'here is economy in working with slack belts, keeping them clean and flexible, Hard ened belts are best softened by a wash o lukewarm soda water and a thorough scraping and oiling. She Was Kissed Too Much. It isn't often that a girl is kissed too much, and less frequently does a boy suffer from too much of that sort of thing. It is diflerent from washing and ironing aipd cooking and sweeping down the stairs, that girls have been known to seek kissing rather than those things, andl often miteh to the neglect of them. It has never been supposed that any great danger lurked in k issing, even though a great deal of it be done, and if it ha~s sometimes'fatigued the very ardent -for sometimes ,the very best things wvill fatigue one-it has usually been a fatigue which all were willing to accept. It appears, however, that there is a great deal of danger in kissing whichi is not sensibly and decently done. 4 story comes through the English papers of an extraordinary young German couple who wagered to kiss each other ten thousand times in thc course of teni hours. That seems easy enough, and prob~ably there are thousands of young lovers who pre sume they have time and again done some thousands better than that. The wager wvas the result of a discussion about howv many kisses could be crowded into a'given time. The enterprise was undertakenl With great vigor, the only drawback being the presence of spec tators. Within the first hour two thou sand kisses were exchanged, and the outlook was p~ropitious. The record, however, did not keep up, only one thousand being added in the second hour. From this time on the business lagged, and at the end o)f tho third hour bo0th b~ro dlown. The young woman fainted in the mnidst of too much of a good thing, and the young man's lips were) cramp~led out of their usefulness and~ palralyzed1., It isn't worth while expressing an opinion about an extraordinary couple like that. They have their own punish menit in the fact that the matrimonial engalgemnent between them was broken off in consequence of the strange per f'ortuiance. Probably there isn't any warning in this for American girls. They don't miake a public exhibition of their kissing, and they are never known to faint at the end of the third hour. They are the kind of girls also who do not paralyze the young men's lips, and the young man whose lips don't paralyze must be a pretty poor' young man if hie gives a girl time to faint between kisses. Bunt don't do it in public-it isn't worth much thiat way.-Philadelphia Times. 'What Hie Died of.
