l ever knew was maligned cobbler, who
drove a wagon, using nullein-stalk as
a weapon of coercion to tyrannize over
a caterpillar shod with calks. He was a
Galilean Sadducee, and he had a phthis-
icky catarrhal diphtheria, and the bill
ious intermittent erysipelas. A sibyl
with the sobriquet of 'Gipsy' went into
ecstasies of examinations at perceiving
him separate saccharine tomatoes from
ignitable queues without dyeing or SINCE

Il GREAT TEACHER.

A remarkable natural teacher in Penn
sylvania is described by the New York
Teacher. This man, who was shoe
maker, had such unusual intelligence and
information that the children of his vii
lage would gather around to listen to his
talk Presently divers families sur
prised him by entreaties to teach their
children, and, upon his refusal, returned
to the charge with the request on paper,
signed by every man and woman in the
village. He accordingly began a school
in an old blacksmith shop, and soon be-
csme so interested In his work that he
had no thought of ending it He be
came known, not through advertisement;
pupils were brought from distance q
good school-house was built, and since
1920 he has educated l 1896 scholars from
abroad. The elements of his success are
stated to be sincere interest In the well
fare of every student placed under his
charge, his enthusiasm for everything of
q scientific character, and bis desire and

am glad you have been well cared
for" Robert said, turning his head to
hide merry twinkle in his eyes; "you
look very fine here I"
But when he carefully led the old man
to the sitting-room, both stood amazed.
Was the handsomely carpeted, cheerful }
furnished room the 6reary old place III
which they had been so well contented
While they wondered a new sound
greeted them-the tones of a piano
touched by skilled fingers, and voice
sweet and clear singing song of vel
come.
Throwing open door to disclose a
beautifully furnished parlor, Robert saw
also little figure on the piano stool,
clad in shining black silk, with soft
lace and pretty jewelry to adorn it.
Margaret !" Uncle James cried.
But Robert said softly:
Margaret Franklin, Uncle James.
Daisy, my wifel"
Then she came forward with shining
eyes.
81 wanted to make you love me-" she
said In low, tender voice, " for Rob
ert's sakel"
"And for your own," he answered
"but 1 am bewildered, my dear. Where
did these fine things come fromf''
"From my old home. They are all
mine, and you will let them stay here,
will you not, for our new homer" she
added, shyly slipping her hand into
Roberts. "l don't want to take Robert
from you, Uncle James, when he is all
you have to love, but if you will give me
a place here too, 1 will try to be good
daughter to you.
"Give you place here :" the old man
cried; &c think no greater grief could
come to me now, Margaret, than the
thought of losing you. God ever bless
you, child. for few at your age would
have cared to so kindly overcome an OBJ
stinase old mans stupid preiudices."
"'rhank you," she whispered, touch
ing her lips to his for the first time;
"you have made ne very happy"
And as she presided over the carefully
appointed table in coseyly furnished
dining-room Uncle James had used for
spare harness and bags of grain, but
which was transformed beyond recogni-
ton, there was no cloud on the bright
ness of the face of Roberts wife,

"IT4 TON OF WALNUT.

The following is said to be a very SUI
perior method for staining any kind of
wood in imitation of walnut, while it is
also cheap, and simple in its manipu-
latinn. The wood, previously thoroughly
dried and warmed, is coated once or
twice with stain composed of one part,
by weight, of extract of walnut-peel, dis
solved IN six parts of soft water by heat
ing it to boiling, and stirring. The wood
thus treated, when half dry, is brushed
with solution of one part, by weight, of
bichromate of potash In five parts of
boiling water, and is then allowed to dry
thoroughly, and is to be rubbed and pol
ished as usual. Red beech and alder,
under this treatment, assume most de-
ceptive resemblance to American walnut.
The color is fixed in the wood to depth
of one or two lines.

GUEPOWDER WOOD.

Prof. F. Hargreaves states that the
kinds of wood generally used for the
manufacture of gnnpowder-charcoal, are
the black dogwood, the willow and the
alder. They are all well adapted for the
manufacture of charcoal, although the
dogwood is always used for the best
sporting gunpowder. The wood is con-
verted into charcoal by heating it in iron
cylinders.
After the charcoal is taken from the
cylinders, it is placed in iron coolers pro-
vided with tightly fitting lids, and
allowed to stand for fourteen hours, by
which time it is quite cold, when it is
sent to the charcoal mill to be ground,
and afterwards to be mixed with the
other ingredients for gunpowder.

IN AQUATIC MN.

Among the most fertile freaks of the
imagination have been the fancies rela-
tive to the existence and appearance of
mermaids, but here We have a serious
fact recorded, for it refers to the appear
ance of a norman and not to maid,
and on that account bears much more
strongly the impress of reality. The fact
is narrated as follows:
In the month of January, various
persons went to fish in the lake not
very far from the settlement of Santa
Marie.
Suddenly they saw rise from the water
a hairy animal, in human form, who
looked at them as if astonished.
The fishermen at the first moment took
hold of their guns, which they had at
their side, and were about to shoot the
animal. But the form and resemblance
it had to a man, from whom it differed
only in being covered with fine hair,
made them desist, and they did not fire.
The animal, diving, disappeared under
the water.
1t is said that three years ago, more or
less, in the same place, the same animal
had been seen by other individuals; and
now, as the fact was repeated, its pub
LEGATION is requested.
The communication came through re-
spectacle channels, yet the paper which
first published the account appeared to
doubt. But this is an age of skepticisln.-
