IMPROVED LADY'S WORE TABLE. The accompanying illustrations represent a new lady's work table patented to Mr. C. R. Snyder December 1 1874. The lid of the table as shown in Fig. 1 is readily converti ble into a lap board by the side arms turning on a pivot and resting when down on pins in the table legs. The legs of the lap board serve as supports for the table lid when up and are then folded under out of sight as indicated in Fig. 2. If desired the lap board can be detached from the table and used independently in which case the elongated side arms become legs. The conformity of the table to the shape of the lap board gives a beautiful design for the former and at the same time ad mits of a very convenient arrangement. The recess in front is used for a double row of spools retained in place by brass standards. The center piece forms a pincushion. This recess may be tastefully ornamented. The di visions over the right hand drawer may be used for writing utensils those over the left drawer for 'notions' while the division be tween will hold a large quantity of cut and basted work. These tables are manufactured by the inventor corner 2d avenue South and 14th street Minneapolis Minn. He may be addressed for further particulars by parties wishing to manufacture in other States. The English Engine Driver. It is one of the most singular facts connected with modern literature that the deep and stri king poetry of the rail and the locomotive has never yet inspired any man of genius to sing it forth to the world. Probably it is a conse quence of the classical training of modern youth. Our poets get mad over the achievements of Greeks and Romans over the Isthmian and other games and seem absolutely blind to the fact that the things which put them into ecsta cies are quite childish compared with the everyday marvels of the age we live in. No doubt 'distance lends enchantment to the view ;' still the Greek charioteer wh standing on a very rickety two-wheeler whips his horses alo
