nGF On one of the cold days last

n6r On one of tho cold days last
winter, some eight or ten men were
warming themselves in various ways,
in the Kinney house, down in Maine.
Large stories about trapping aud
hunting being the order Of talk, an
old trapper in the corner came out
with: Wa'al, boys, L reckon I've
been a trapper in these parts long
enough to tell some pretty big sto-
ties, without stretchin things either.
I'd come over into Kinneo one win
rer-three years ago, I reckon-to
get an inch auger; and as [ was
crossin' the lake to my cabin, three
miles on t'other side, l remembered
I hadn't nothing in the cabin to cat,
so I reckoned I'd stop and kotch a
fish. l got out my line, bored a
hole ir the ice with my auger,
dropped the line in, and in less than
one hour kotcked more'n dozen
fish, and ore 'em must have weighed
ten pounds" "But how did you
get it up through an inch hole ?"
asked a by-stander. "Wa'al, stran-
ger, that's what has always puzzled
mel"

TROPICAL TELEGRAPH LINEs.-Thc
putting of telegraph lines in the jun
giles and forests of the tropics is a
work of the utmost difficulty, and
the peculiar conditions of the region
require special methods Of construc-
ton. In India the wires are really
small bars Of iron 3 of an inch in
thickness, an amount of rigidity be-
ing thus obtained, which is necessary
to meet the reGuirments of the coun-
try. The difficulty, which in this
country, is experienced in keeping
the wires insulated during heavy
rains, fogs, or thunder storms, is i'm
menseIy augmented in the regions
where these meteorological pherom-
ena sbound, aud the use ofthis large
size of wire is rendered necessary to
retain enough electricity to work the
wires.

MISUNDERSTANDING to one
of the Jewish authorities, Methuse:.
lah did not live so long as he might
have done had he attended to good
advice; for it is written that as he
was sleeping on the ground when
we'll stricken IN years, an angel come
to him and told him that ifEe would
rise up and build himselfa house to
lie in, he would live 500 years longer.
Methusclah made an answer, that it
was not worth while to take house
for 80 shcrta term! And so he died
before he was a thousand years old.

he demands gold for the principal.
In 1868 the average Of a greenback
dollar was seventy-one cents: and ia
1864. fifty cents; aud in ls65, fifty
nine cents. In 1864, the bondholder
paid $3.50 in gold for a $500 bond.
lie has drawn interest in gold upon
i. to the amount Of 1920, which was
worth at least 5000 in currency. If
his bond is in gold, he has cleared
$3.50 in its purchase, worth now 1915,
and this added to the interest, makes
net profit of 1915, in four years on
an investment of 1855. The gold to
pay both principal and interest comes
from the tariff that the Government
lays upon the poor mans tea, coffee
and sugar, for al! other taxes are paid
in currency. Every pound of tea
pays twenty five cents in gold to the
bondholdcr! Every pound of coffee
pays five cents in gold to the bond-
holder! Every pound of sugar pays
four cents in gold to the bondholder!
The whole debt now is twenty-six
hundred millions of dollars. In the
month of July the intcrest-bearing
portion of it increased twcnty-seven
millions, thus adding in one month
nearly four millions Of annual inter-
est to the burthens of the people.
Sixteen hundred millions Of the dobt
are, by this contract, payable in
greenbaclls ; if this is paid in gold,
it adds eight hundred millions to the
value of the bondholder's claim, and
to the terrible load that now oppres-
es the people and destroys their bust
ness. The bondholde,'s demand that
labor and production shall be taxed
for their benefit; they claim that
they are a privileged class, and OK
empt from taxation: Pay the
debt in grecnbacks, and you reduce

A BOLD PREAcHER.-When Sam
uol Davies was president Of Prince
town College, he visited England for
the purpose of obtaining donations
for the Institution. The King
George H. had a curiosity to hear u
preacher from the wilds OF America.
lie accordingly attended, and was
so much struck with his command
ing eloquence, that he expressed his
astonishment loud enough to be
heard halt over the house, in such
terms as these =" He is wonder
ful man -" Why, he beats my
bishops!" &c. Davies, observing
that the King was attracting more
attention than himself, paused, and,
looking his majesty full in the face,
gave him, in an emphatic tone. the
following beautiful rebuke:-"When
the lion roaroth let the beasts of the
forest tremble !; and when the Lord
speaketh, let the kings of the earth
keep silence" The King instantly
shrunk back in his seat, like school
boy that had been raped over the
head by his master, and remained
quiet during the remainder Of the
sermon. The next day the monarch
sent for him, and gave him fifty
gnineas for the institution over
which he presided, observing at the
time to his courtiers, "He is an hon
cat man-an honest man."

~ A correspondent to an East
ern paper says: When I was down
at the fair, good many years ago,
there was prize offered to the ore
who would come the nearest to max
ing perpetual motion. Well, all
sorts of machines, of all shapes and
material, were brought there and
shown, and the makers of them told
you how long they would run. AS
I was walking about among them l
saw playcard over tent. Gail who
would see perpetual motion and nc
mistake, step in here" So paid the
admission fee, and went in. Very
soon a queer little man got up on a
box that served for platform, and
addressing the audience :" Lad;es and
gentleman" he said, >" I am going to
exhibit to you the most wonderful
invention You ever saw. 1t has been
running for three years, and if no
body stops it, it'll run forever;" and
here he unrollcd long strip ofpa-
per: "This is a tailor's bill !" And
as he held it up to the gaze of the
people they admitted that whether
the bill was ever paid or not, they
had been sold.
