At that moment Jim's sunburnt face
appeared at the door. He stood with
his cap in his hand, eager yet modest,
his face ahght, his eyes cleaning be-

over his forehead as if he were not

Mrs. Belden rose; her eyes were like

But Louis laid his hand calmly upon

WHY His Mill St0nned.

The Doylestown (Pa.) Democrat says
a few days since Mr.. Evan Slower, of
Spring Valley, Bucks county, while
working in his mill, noticed that the
machinery was not working as it should
do, and kept getting slower Finally it
almost stopped. He Immediately pro-
ceeded to investigate the matter and
ascertain the Cause. He raised the
stones, inspected the machinery, and
other things without avail Finally he
went to the water gate and raised it up.
Finding that the water did not flow as
fast as it should, he inserted his arm in
the race, and to his horror pulled out
one of his own children, aged about
three years. 1t was, to all appearances,
dead, but as he was carrying it to the
house It's nose began to bleed, and the
color come back to its face. The child
was resuscitated, and is at present as
well as if nothing had happened. How
long the little child had been in the
water no one knows.

A Puzzle for the Scientists.

The church at the southwest corner
of Fourth and John streets, says the
Cincinnati Commercial, is being remod-
eled. The front is being taken out to
make way for new one. The corner
stone and contents, placed there in
1910, were recently exposed, when
there was revealed very astonishing
fact. The cornerstone was perfectly
dry, and SO was the cavity that had
been hewn out to receive the box of
records. They found the lead box,
containing the records, perfectly sealed
as when it was deposited there twenty
seven years ago. But On opening the
box they were astonished to find it
nearly full of water. The paper con-
tents were found to be in pulpy state,
in such a condition that they could
hardly be made out. They will be
dried, however. How did that water
get into that box?

The Heather Chinee.

The Chinaman is such a born trader
that he bas been known to attempt to
take advantage of the missionary who
sells him portions of the Bible. A col
porteur writes from China: "You offer
Matthew for ten cash. A man buys
and turns to go. No man should be-
come a missionary to the Heather Chi
nee who cannot count ten. You count
and find eight cash. You call after
the man and repeat the price you have
repeated fifty times-mayhap it is all
you can repeat He looks dazed. You
hand back the money with an emphat-
lie Don't wantr With the air of q
bankrupt he at length produces one
more cash. You again kindly but
firmly illustrate, on your fingers Or
otherwise, the theoretical distinction
between nine and ten. He overwhelms
you with violent demonstrations that
be has not another cash in the world.
You repeat. He repeats. At last,
with smile that is schildlike and
bland he calmly extracts the other
cash from his ear, where it has been all
the while, as everybody but you knew.

THE TWO MYSTERIES.

La the middle of the room, in its white coffin,'
4 ay the dead child, nephew of the poet. Near
it in q great chair, sat Walt Whitman, surround
ed by Little ones and holding beautiful Ltu ae
the spectacle of death aud then inquiringly into
the old mans face. "You don't know what 1t is,
do you, my DEAR" said he, adding. We don't
either"
We know not whatit is, dear, this sleep SO deep
The folded hands, the awful calm, the cheek so
pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again, though we may
call and call;
qae strange, white solitude of peace that settles
over all.
We know not whatit means, dSAr, this desolate
heart-pain;
This dread to take our daily way, and walk in it
- again;
We know not to what other sphere the loved who
Nor why we're left to wonder still; nor why we
do not know.
But this we knew: Our loved and dead, if they
should come this day
Should come and ask us, " What is life ?" not
one of us could say,
Life is mystery as deep as ever death can be;
Yet OH how sweet is it to us, this life we live and
See
Then might they say-these vanished ones-and
blessed is the thought!
" SO death is sweet to u.s. beloved! though we
may tell We naught;
We may not tell it to the Quick-this mystery Of
death
Yemay not tell us, if We would, the mystery Of
breath"
The child who enters life comes not with knowt
edge OF intent
So those who enter death must go as little chill
dren sent.
Nothing is known. But I believe that God is
overhead;
And as life is to the living, SO death is to the
dead.

Making Your Horses Out of Old Ones.

"A very interesting case, illustrating to
what entent the dumb animals are tor
tu1ed to crafty the avarice of unfeeling
spectators, and showing new system
of swindling the government, was tried
in st. Louis recently. Some time ago
Mr.. Jos. Wolfort, a horse trader, was
arrested on a charge of cruelty to ami
mails. He was charged with ''bishop-
ing" horses, which was described as be-
ing process Of filing the teeth of old
horses down, to make them look young
and the animal marketable. The horse
is tied securely in his stall in such way
that it cannot move its head, a gag Of
wood or iron is then placed III his mouth
and ''twitch" placed on his nose. A
man with a large rasp or file then files
the teeth to the necessary size, and
then bores cavities in them, which are
colored black with nitrate of silver or
caustic, so that the teeth look natural.
Ihe name ''bishoping" is derived from
Bishop, the man who is said to have in
vented the cruel practice. The pain to
the horse, in many cases, is said to be
excruciating, and cases are cited where
they have died under the treatment.

Asked Too Much.

Mrs. A. T. Stewart had to leave New
York on account Of the persecution
she underwent from those who solicited
charity. Petitions poured in upon her
from all quarters for every purpose
needy institutions, charities that were
ready to be started, provided liberal
donations or endowments could be OBJ
tain, people in distress themselves, or
whose friends were unfortunate;
children to be adopted or educated;
some who only needed capital to start
grand enterprise, and innumerable
suggestions as to the best way to invest
her capital. All this nearly drove her
wild; SO Judge Hilton advised her to
leave the country. His son and daugh-
ter accompanied her in her travels, be-
sides several relatives and servants.

Exciting Incident at Sea.

Her Majesty's ship Tenedos is home
ward bound, after four years in the Pa
cific station. On July Goth, according
to the English papers, she was making
for the Gulf OF Penos, when the gale
sprang up, which made Cape Tres
monies on lee shore. Toward night it
moderated, and Capt. Pollard, before
turning in for the night, ordered fires
to be banked, and the ship to proceed
under topsail. She went spinning on at
nine knots an hour, the shore being
supposed to be thirty miles distant.
About two in the morning Lieut. Gra-
ham, officer of the watch, reused the
captain, saying be felt uneasy, and ask
ing if the course should be changed or
steam got up. Capt Pollard, however,
ordered to keep on the same course un-
til four o'clock. Soon afterward land
was sighted close under the lee bow.
The helm was instantly ported, and the
ship was answering excellently, when
the lookout man shouted: Breakers
on the starboard bow" Lieut.. Graham
rushed forward, and through the intense
darkness { aw a gigantic rock right ahead
about 500 yards away. 1t was instantly
seen that she could not clear it by pass
ing toward the open sea, and whether
there was any channel between the rock
and the mainland could not even be
guessed. To venture this was the only
chance, however, and Graham, without
a moments reflection, had to act. He
shouted, "Helm hard starboard square
yards, clear lower deck, call the cap
tain" Every order was obeyed with
lightning alacrity, and there ensued
few moments of intense excitement
and suspense. On rushed the Tenedos
apparently to certain destruction. Less
than minute after she swept through
q narrow channel, almost grazing the
huge rock on the one side, and within
a hundred yards of the mainland on
the other. AS ten score men rushed up
from below and saw how narrowly they
had escaped destruction, even hardy
sailors burst'into tears, and Lieut.. Ora
ham was overwhelmed with thanks and
congratulations.

Origin of Petroleum.

At first it WAS held by many that pc
troleum was a result of distillation
from the bituminous Goals which were
found in its vicinity, and this belief
was strengthened by the fact that Can
mel and Boghead coal, afforded large
quantities Of similar oils on being dis
TILED; but, although this is very prob
ably the source Of small amount of
oil, yet the larger part of it is now be-
leved to derive its origin from rocks
lying below the coal measures, since
the oll-bearing rocks are mostly older
than the carboniferous formations.
