I had .not been on! the farm a week' before I felt like another boy, and one day asked uncle if 'I couldnt help plant the potatoes and corn. He said I could, providing I didnt work too hard. The next morning I was ready xfoi the work, and got; down to the field as soon as breakfast was over. I worked till about 9 oclock!, when I became tired and hungry so hungry that I ate several of the seed potatoes. George Clayton; the boss farmer, called me to him andjsaid: Johnnie 1 think youve done enough for one day suppose you go down by the willows and take a good rest. I went down tO the place indicated, and was soon stretched out upon a plank seat placed between two of the trees. Lying there upon my back and looking up through the branches I watched the fleecy clouds in the sky sail above the tree tops. While thus engaged my attention was called to what I first thought was a limb of one of the trees trying to get across to the other tree. It swayed backward and forward like a huge pendulum, and finally swung across and attached itself to the opposite tree. I watched the operations with peculiar interest. Lying there upon my. back, with my gaaze fixed upon the strange performance, I thought it beat anything I had seen in Dan Rices circus the year before. There was the limb, as I supposed, glittering as the sunbeams fellupon it. Presently the thing broke loose from, as I thought, the parent tree, and coiled Itself up into several complete rings. I watched it with bated breath and without winking my eyes, when all at once the thing flopped clear over to the other tree. I followed it with my eyes, and saw that instead of being a limb of a tree it was a monster snake. There it was sliding down the tree toward my resting jflace. With a yell, I rolled from the! bench, and crying murder as rd ! g! ; ty a in -- e .as tea vm Ml ;ar tato field,. to po- Clayton heard my cries and, 'ailing the other men, hurried to see what had happened.

Mr. Edisons Idea of Using It as a Means of Defending Fortresses. Mr. Edisons inventive faculty often runs in fanciful grooves. Some Mime ago he evolved an elaborate scheme for the electrical defense of a fort. He con- tended that half the ordinary complement of guns could bev dispensed with, and in their stead he would install a powerful dynamo. Current from this machine would he conducted by wires fto the nozzles of- hose,- carrying a heavy stream of water under high pressure. These would be placed on the ramparts and as the enemy approached the jet would he turned on. As water is a good conductor, the stream would be heavily charged with electricity of fatal power and every man within its radius would be killed. An Auburn has just escaped what might might have been unpleasant consequences from seeking to experiment in the same field of electrical conduction. He was wetting down his lawn with the garden hoae when he became suddenly possessed with a desire to "shoot at the trolley wire, and he would have done it but for the timely arrival of -the lineman, who advised him not to. He has since been consulting electrical authorities on the subject, and, although there is no certainty that a person who throws water on an electrical trolley wire will get a shock, the alderman has come to the conclusion that he will not try it. -- - ex-alder- Against Early Rising. The desire to rise early, except in those trained from youth to outdoor pursuits, is commonly a sign, not of strength of character and vigor of body, hut of advancing age. The very old often sleep much, but they do not sleep long. A long, deep sleep, the sleep ofa youth, requires for its production The thorough elastic vascular system. comso stiffening vessels of age are not pletely nor so easily controlled by the vasomotor nerves; hence shorter sleeps. Thus, paterfamilias, who goes to bed6 at 11 p. m., wants to get up at 5 or a. m., and looks upon his healthy son, who prefers to lie till 8, as a sluggard. When this foolish interpretation of a proverb about the health and wealth to be got from early rising is combined with the still more foolish adage which says of sleep: Six 'hours for a man, seven for a woman, and, eight for Hot Clmse After a Robber. a fool, then we have a vieioua system A mail who gave his name as George mischief to Yvilking robbed tbe ticket office of the capable of working great Lonsexes. both of Montana Central Mont. the young people at Butte, depot An excursion train was pulling out for don Lancet. naconda, when he ran up to the ticket Three Cool Places. indow and a sack containing grabbed Cashton, Wis., has a cave about lOx tout fpo.

German Physicians Account of the Hoard of the Sultan of Morocco. A French journalist has brought up again the ancient story of the enormous treasure held by the sultan of Moroqco. The. French ambassador to Morocco brought back to Louis XIV. in 1685 the story that the sultan of that day, Muley-Ismae- l, kept at Mequinez, the favorite residence of the sultans, a treasure valued at $30,000,000. Chenier another French ambassador, 100 years later, returned with the rumors of the treasure, but it had shrunk in a century to about $2,500,000, which is supposed by some authorities to be about the ordinary annual revenue of the sultan. The legend of the treasure was still in sound health fifty years later, for Graeber. di Hemso, a traveler, affirmed about 1834 that the Sultans hoard, called was kept at Mequinez under the guard of 2,000 negroes. It was believed to consist of 200,000 pieces of money, besides Ingots of gold-an- d silver and precious stones. The treasure house, according to this traveler, was an inclosure of massive walls, which were exactly repeated within. In order to reach the treasure it was necessary to open five iron gates, secured with secret locks, of which the keys were in the hands of the sultan or of his favorite. It was the custom in earlier times to kill the guards that accompanied new treasure lest the secrets of the treasure house he divulged. Others travelers have kept the story alive and from the manner in which taxes are levied and public affairs administered in Morocco it is generally believed that the sultan has great wealth laid up. The later story of the treasure comes from Dm Rohlfs, a German, at one time physician to the harem of the present sultan, Muley Hassan. Dr. Rohlfs declares that the treasure of the sultan is greater than ever. Some have represented that, for safety, the imperial wealth is kept in several places, part of it at Fez, part in the oasis of Tafllet, and part of it at other points in the empire. Dr. Rohlfs declares that the sultans 10,000,000 German thalers, or about $7,500,000, are at Mequinez, in a somber edifice which the light of day never penetrates. The custom of killing the treasure-heareis not kept up, and the guard is not 2,000, but 300 negroes, who keep watch In a living tomb. Dr. Rohlfs has seen some of the sacks inclosing part of the 3 A DOG AND A CAT. Two Stories That You "Will AU Read with Interest. Two instances among many that occurred in my own experience go far to convince me that dogs and cats possess mental powers identical in kind with those of the human mind. I lived in a house placed forty feet back from the street, a picket fence in front and at each side, except that, at the side of my piazza, a tight board fence five feet in height shut us off from my neighbors house, which was built against mine. My other neighbor owned two lots, one of which intervened between his house and mine. The rear of this vacant lot was encumbered with quite a tangle of vines and weeds, and between this rear part and my own very small back yard was a tight hoard fence five feet in height. The piazza fence has to do with my dog story, and the tangle of vines and weeds has to do with my cat story. I possessed a n of good proportions. When he was out in the street he could notget over the picket fence, hut he had learned that by a bold leap he on the top could catch his fore-paof the piazza fence and scramble to the top, whence it was easy to descend on the home side. One evening we were sitting on the piazza, and I happened to be close to the fence, when I saw Mr. B.and-come to the gate. Finding it closed, he trotted into the neighbors yard and leaped up the fence; but the instant his head appeared above the top of it, I gave him a sounding box on the ear, which sent him backward to the ground. He went back a little way. and sat down to think about it. After a while he walked out into the street to our gate and decided to wait until somebody, should openit. After a little while I let him in. He ran immediately to the fence and spent fifteen minutes trying to find out where that blow had iome from. He was satisfied it had come from our side, but he evidently had no suspicion that I was connected with it. His entire action showed conclusively that he had thoughts about what had befallen him, and a determination to find out the truth. We also had a favorite cat, which understood perfectly well that she was a member of our family. After the manner of cats, she one morning informed us with maternal pride of the advent of five little kittens in the woodshed. Our domestic relations were unchanged and unimpaired for some days, until, in fact, the kittens began to sprawl around too much under foot in our very contracted back yard. One morning, without thought that Tabby was within hearing, and much less that she was capable of understanding, I said to the servant girl, quite in a business way and without any demonstration kitten ward: "Louisa, these kittens will soon he too much for us. When the, boy comes with the milk, see if he wont take four of them away. Thats all there was of it; yet in less than twenty minutes the five kittens had disappeared over the fence, and we saw them no more until they were well grown and able to take care of themselves. Tabby was faithful to us to the end, but no more kittens of hers ever appeared on our side of the fence. Our Animal Friends. - black-and-ta- ws T. : t Cur for Bloomers. A cure for the bloomer craze has been found at last. It is the invention of a shrewd Vermonter, and in the several instances in which it has been tried it has worked almost as magically as magic. The inventor had a wife who rode a bicycle, and who Insisted upon wearing bloomers every time she went out for a spin. Neither protests nor appeals nor threats cquld Induce her to wear another costume.f So one day the husband, with a patience that would have caused Job to open his eyes, sat down and made a pair of bloomers for every hen in the poultry yard, and drawing them on the hens, called his wife to look at them. They looked just like she did, he said, when she was on the wheel in costume. A little more graceful, perhaps, but not a bad reproThere were some sharia duction. words for a moment, but the woman hasnt worn bloomers since. Whats more, she now declares that she never will wear them again.

This change has been effected, under local option and woman suffrage. .Mission work in New Mexico commenced in 1866 There are now 25 schools, more than 40 ministers and native helpers, and over 800 communicants.

Perplexity In a Colored Congregation Over an Unexpected Donation. Recently a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church returned froffia tour of the south and made his headquarters at one of the big hotels uptown, says the New York Tribune. To those who called upon him at the hotel he told a funny story about his experience among the negroes of the south. He went down with a party to one of the fashionable; winter resorts along the coast. One Sunday he was told of a service hat was to be held at a colored Methodist church several miles, inland. It was suggested that the party attend these services, and accordingly carriages were ordered and the drive was made.' The rest of the story is best told in his own language. He said: , When we arrived at the church we found that it was to he a sort of special service to raise money to pay off a church debt. They had recently erected a new church, and it was only partly paid for The local bishop had been summoned, and a great effort was being made to get the money. When we had taken our seats a colored brother came around and asked us if we would not go to the front, but we declined. In the course of his remarks the bishop dwelt upon the good work that had been done in the name of the Redeemer, and called upon everyone present to contribute something toward paying off the great debt that the church had assumed In building a new house of worship. He said that the debt was $142.35, and that it must be met. His eloquent plea reached our hearts, and we made up a little purse among ourselves and raised $100. The money was handed to me, and I, when the plate was passed around, laid a crisp $100 bill on the plate. While the money was being counted a song service wa3 held. It was plainly evident to us that something unusual- - was going on, and there was a subdued air of excitement among those counting the money. Finally the bishop stepped to the front and raised his hand. The music ceased at once.) He began to speak very gravely, and imagine our astonishment when he said: Brethren, we have met with remarkable Success in pur efforts today. We have received enough money to pay off the debt and a surplus of $14.12 that is, providin the bill which the gentleman from the north gave us is genuine. Strange Religious Community In Hont real, Which Renounces the World. i Was Sank, He Fulton Saw Thought, i by Rivals Ills Model and. It Is Claimed, Stole the Vermonters Idea and Became Famous. . The strangest religious community in the world is one founded in Montreal by a certain Dr. Jacques, a graduate ol the Victoria School of Medicine, who, during the year in which small-po- x raged in Montreal, visited no fewer than 1,200 patients and did much good work in the city. Among these patients was a family from St. Florence named Aubin, and the father and mother, with five daughters, now live under the doctors roof. The parents, who do not belong to the community proper, live like ordinary mortals, but the five children lead a life almost as severe as the terrible austere, regime of the Carmelite nun. They are robed in red material, with a white headdress falling-dowover their shoulders. These girls have no education whatever, yet their medical protector says they are very learned in things pertaining to the celestial sphere. By the side of a nicely decorated altar stands a post about six feet in height, and upon the latter hangs an ox chain ten feet long. When Montreal is given over to carnivals, to balls and parties, and when it is easy for frail man and womankind to it is at these seasons that the-fivsisters devote themselves most intently to penitence and prayer. Thi3 heavy chain Is hung around each sisters neck for an hour at a time, whilo they kneel in prayer for their sisters of the world whom destiny has thrown in temptations way. Each bed is a large deep coffin, painted black, and Covered over with gray cotton. is made of soft wood and not a single article of clothing Is visible. The-fivsisters sleep upstairs, the second floor being divided into a half dozen, small, cheerful rooms or cells. The furniture in each of these sleeping: apartments consists of a black coffin,, a table and a tin wash-basithe same absence of clothing being quite as Jnarked as on the floor below. Dr. Jacques himself occupies a room on the ground floor, and sleeps in a large,, tare coffin throughout the summer and winter. . The only recognition of thi famous community by the Archbishops f Montreal is in the fact that one off the citys clergymen Is spiritual director of the five sisters In question, off wham three go to communion every morning and two or three times a week. HO invented the first steamboat operated in this Country? Robert Fulton has earned immortal fame as the inventor, but was he really entitled to it? asks New York World. In 1803 Fulton experimented on the River Seine, in France, with a small steamboat, and in 1807 launched another steam vessel on the Hudson river. The latter trial gave him the credit of what has ever since been accepted to be the first practical operation of a steamboat. But it is now claimed that Capt. Sarduel Morey of Fairlee, JVt., invented a steamboat which, in 1793, made a trial trip on the Connecticut river. Among those who witnessed this event was the late Rev. Cyrus Mann, at that time a boy. In an address at the centennial of the town of Oxford, N. H., where Capt. Morey was born, he said: So far as is known, the first steamboat ever seen on the waters of America was invented by Capt. Samuel Morey, of Oxford, N. H. The astonishing sight of this man ascending the Connecticut river, between that place and Fairlee, in a little boat just large enough to contain himself and the rude machinery connected with the steam boiler and just a handful of wood for a fire, was witnessed by me in my boyhood, and by others who yet survive. This was as early as 1793, or earlier, and before Fultons name had ever been mentioned in connection with steam navigation. There is no reliable evidence from history to show that Fitch was the inventor of steam navigation in this country, from the fact that the progress in that art cannot be traced back to him; hut it can be traced to Robert Fulton, and from him directly to Capt. Samuel Morey, and nowhere else-- It WINDING ROPES FOR MINES. .
