The MiIkman'S Horse.

Mr.. Pullen, a milkman living near
Augusta, Maine, has horse that he has
driven over the city milk route for about
two years, and the Maine Farmer gives
the following account of this horse:
knowing the horse to be an IN
usually intelligent one, Mr.. Pullen, one
morning after starting on his route, let
the reins remain in the hook In the top
of his wagon to see what the horse would
do. He had his own way in coming into
the city, stopping regularly at the houses
of eighty-four customers without mis-
take, then went to the postofice, thence
to the store of Mr.. Haskell-where Mr..
Pullen is in the habit of stopping and
then took up his route home, where he
arrived safe, Mr.. Pul1en not once having
touched the reins from the time he left
home. Is not this pretty well for
horse? And could any ordinary milk
man do better? Mr.. Pullen says any
variation of the route, such as new Gus
toners or a change of residence, is

Receipts.
Shipments.

During the past week the grain markets at
tracted considerably more attention from
spectators than for months past and at times
considerable excitement prevailed. The bull
element seemed to have the entire control of
the trade, and they used their influence SO well
that a general advance in values was estab-
lished ON all options, and more marked adj
vance for immediate delivery. The short in
terest were alarmed at the evident firmness
of the market, and were anxious to
provide for their outstanding contracts.
The surrounding influences were generally of
a favorable tenor, and such as would naturally
favor an advance. New York and Liverpool
were higher, and the receipts were light, the
table published above showing a general excess
of shipments for the week, as compared with
the receipts save on oats There was an in
creased number of speculative orders re-
ceived from other markets and from
the interior. The opening of navigation
is rapidly drawing near and some activity is
shown in shipping circles, there being fair
demand for grain for shipment, with several
charters already reported At times weaker
feeling prevailed, shorts withdrawing after
buying. The general market, however, was
very firm and closed steady at quotations.
The following table shows the prices current
at the opening and close of the past week

Saved by a Spider.

The following singular escape from
death OF Noah Hopkins is related by his
descendants, who vouch for the accuracy
of the incident: Mr.. Hopkins, over 100
years ago, resided in Duchess county,
N. 7. After disposing Of his property,
he joined the Susquehanna Company and
went to live in the famed Wyoming
Valley, Pa. The indians from the lakes
became very troublesome and continued
to roam in bands through the white set
Elements, ravaging their stocks and crops
One night a sudden and unexpected at
tack was made upon the settlement by a
large band of Infatuated savages, and the
settlers fed for their lives into the woods
and mountains. The Indians pursued
them-their war whoops falling upon the
ears of the defenseless whites like the
cries of wild beasts in search Of prey.
After roaming about in the darkness for
some hours, Mr.. Hopkins stumbled over
a large log that lay across his pathway,
andssfnding it hollow crept into it. Here
he laid for several hours. The .sun mad
arisen, and he was debating whether he
had better continue his march over the
mountains. when he heard the footsteps
of his pursuers near 10y and their sub
dued but animated conversation. He
felt that his doom was sealed, and the
cold sweat oozed from his body and
brow. Weary with their long search,
the Indians sat down on the very log In
which Mr.. Hopkins was concealed, while
their eyes peered hither and thither,
hoping to catch sight of some poor
fugitive. Mr.. Hopkins heard the bull
let's rattle In their pouches, and he gath
cred from their broken savage tongue,
intermixed with English words, the in
telligence that some of his friends and
nelghbors had been captured and slain.
1t was a moment of fearful anxiety.
Some of the Indians walked around to
the end of the log, and seeing that it was
hollow stopped down and looked in.
Their companions were called, and they
all gathered around like hounds with
their game holed as if ready to shoot the
moment it emerged. The Indians seemed
to be holding a brief consultation. Mr..
Hopkins was just on the point of sur
rendering himself and begging for mercy
on the ground of his many kind acts in
former times to the Indians, when his
attention was arrested by a large spider,
which was busily engaged weaving a
large and beautiful web right over the
entrance. He threw his threads from
side to side with great rapidity, so
that when the Indians came to look in
they, too, seemed to notice this aerial
work, and supposed, of course, no one
could be concealed within. Soon after
they disappeared. After remaining in
this cramped retreat as long as he could
endure he came out and wandered for
many days in the wilderness, subsisting
on nothing but the carcass of a putrid
turkey which he. found dead, his clothing
torn into shreds, his body Iacerated, until
he came once more upon the dwellings of
white men.

All for Show.

The world is crazy for show. There is
not one perhaps in thousand who dares
fall back on his real simple self for pow
er to get through the world, and exact
enjoyment as he goes along. There is
no end to the aping, the mimicry, the
false airs, and the superficial airs. 1t re-
quires rare courage, we admit, to live up
to ones enlightened convictions in these
days. Unless you consent to join in the
chat, there is no room for you among the
great mob of pretenders. If man de-
sires to live within his means and isreso-
lutte in his purpose not to appear more
than he really is, let him be applauded
There is something fresh and invigorat-
ing in such an example, and we should
honor and uphold such plan with all
the energ in our power.

How to Smell BIeyIne,

The amusing farce at Pixies on Satur-
day night might have had tragical end
ing if the nine victims who went down on
"bleyme " pronounced bleem) had been
kept at it until they had rung all the pos
sible changes before they spelled the
word correctly, according to the absurd,
though authorized fashion. They tried
bliphm, blime, bleme, blimm, blegm,
blim, bleem, bleme and bleame, but these
are only nine ways out of forty-three
thousand possible and legitimate modes
of spelling this word, each one justified
by the spelling employed in other words
containing the same sounds.
They might have tried c-k-b-g-le-y-
e-m-m-e bleem, or p-b-u-a-l-l-a-i-c-hm
blehm, or t-b-b-t-l-e-i-s-gm bleem, or B.
b-e-s-l-e-e-i-p-m-n bleem.
These may seem queer spellings, but
are entirely justifable. CkbgIeyemme
is justified by the use Of ckb for in
cockburn, pronounced coburn,) 81 for l
in seraglio, eye for long e in keyed, NINE
for m in crammed.
Pbuallaichm is justified by the use Of
pb for b in cupboard, uall for in Wet
uduel, dn 1oI toAS . LII ueH1@lno anu GILL
for III in drachm.
Tbtleisgm is justified by the use Of tb
for b in hautboy, tie for l in bristle, is
for long in debris, and GIN for m in
phlegm.
Bbesleeipmn is justified by the use Of
bbe for in ebbed, sic for in isle, eip.
for long e in receipt, and mn for m in
hymn.
The sound of b is represented in Eng
lish photography in seven different ways,
l in twelve, lodge in forty, and m III thir
teen different ways. The changes, there
fore, on these various modes of represent
ing the four sounds in ''bleyme" would
give 43, $50 justifable ways of spelling
this word
This is not an unfair illustration of the
present barbarous method of represent
ing English. Ben Putnam IN Cj'acjr-

A PerSeVering Author.

Chambers Journal says "Some
forty years ago, it is said, a lady called
upon MIR. Longman, head of the pub
fishing firm in Paterroster Row, and
pleaded: Give me the subject of a
book for which the world has a need,
and [ will write it for you
Mr.. Longman asked: Are you an
author?'
CT am poet, was the reply; but
the world does not want poems
"The publisher remarked a little du-
biously: Well, we want good cookery
book 2
"Then, said the lady, you advise
me to write cookery book?'
Cautiously the publisher reioined,
Il should advise you to do so, if / were
confident of your ability to write a good
one.
"'Wel, years went by; and, during
those years, cooks and epicures and
housewives in all parts of England were
besieged for recipes to be forwarded to
the address Of certain lady. The lady's
own fattering letters or persuasive
speech elected from the cooks them
selves the information required, or en-
listed the cooks masters and mistresses
on her side and the result of her exer-
tions, carried on for many years with
equal resoluteness and good temper, was
the Modern Cookery in all it's Branches,
published in 1916, which continues to
hold it's place in the esteem of house
wives. Its author was Miss Acton, who
derived from her one great work an
provision for the remainder of
her life ."

Whisky's Work.

On Monday the italian sailor Silvio
Tamberius, who was stabbed by his
brother, Francisco Tamberius, on the
bark Emanuele, at Canton, on the night
of the 18th of March, during a melee in
stigated by liquor, was supposed to be
dying at the Baltimore Infrmary. He
expressed the wish to see his brother
before he died, that he might kiss
him once more and tell him he forgave
him for what he had done" The re-
quest was made known to Warden Irwin,
of the city jail, where Francisco is in
generated by the italian Consul, Mr.. E.
de Merolla. He was referred to the
proper authorities, and in two hours the
prisoner, accompanied by an officer and
an attache of the consulate, was on
his way in a carriage to the infrmary.
The interview between the brothers
was one that will not be soon forgotten
by those who witnessed it. The proba-
bic parricide threw himself beside the
pallet Of the PROSTATE man, passionately
kissed him many times, and then fell
senseless upon the floor. Two of the
Sisters of Charity in attendance applied
the proper reSIOratlVeS, ana Wnen ne nad
recovered they gently led him away,
knowing that a further prolongation of
the painful interview would be injurious
to both. On the way back to prison
Francisco was seized with paroxysms of
emotion, during which he trembled vio-
lently. He repeatedly declared that if
his brother should die he will destroy
himself. Both the brothers appear to
be men of more than average intelli-
gence. Silvio's condition is still very
precarious. -BGltin1Ore San.

Only thef female spiders spin webs. They
own all the real estate, and the males
have to live vagabond life under stones
and other obscure hiding places. If they
come about the house SO often as to bore
the ruling sex, they are mercilessly killed
and eaten. The spiders skin is as I'M
yielding as the shells of Holsters and
crabs, and is shed from time to time in
the same way to accommodate the ami
mails growth. If you poke over the
rubbish in female spiders back yard,
among her cast-off corsets you will find
the jackets of the males who have paid
for their sociality with their lives

BELo1T is henceforth destined to be noted for
it's valuable mineral springs. Last fall it was
ascertained by preliminary analysis that a
large flowing spring, located just west of this
city, contained properties similar to those of
the Waukesha springs. Another and more
thorough analysis has just been made by Prof.
Chandler the eminent chemist, of New York
city, and the result is exceedingly satisfactory
Not only does the spring contain the valuable
qualities of the other wonderful springs of Wis
consin and Illinois, but in addition two very
valuable properties not found in any of the
