Why TIDEs OccrR LATER EACH
DAv.-As the moon revolves around the
earth from west TO east, says Professor
Randolph, she advances eastw ardly in
her orbit about thirteen degrees every
twenty -four hours. Hence, when any
part Of the earth IN its revolution comes
under part Of the heavens where the
moon was the evening before, the moon
is not there, but has gone eastward
thirteen degrees, and therefore the earth
must turn on its axis as much longer As
is necessary to bring that part again un-
der the moon, which requires general
", not always, about fifty minutes.-
The same thing ocurs the next evening
and the evening after, and thus the
moon rises most OF the year about fifty
minutes later each day. Now, as the
tides are produced mainly by the moon,
IL will at once be seen from this east
ward movement and this later rising
each day, why they must occur about
fifty minutes later each succeeding dav.
While the lunar tide is thus daily lag
ging, the solar tide occurs at the same
time. Hence these two tides always
begin to separate after new moon, be-
ing further apart each day until, they
sgain coincide at full moon, when there
is, as already stated, . higher tide than
usual, called spring tide. Then again
they separate, until new moon occurs,
when they once more unite, producing
another spring tide. II must not be
supposed that the whole body Of the
ocean to its profoundest depth is equal
ly moved BY the tides. The tides are
mainly superficial, and. except where
the water is Of moderate depth, the low
est parts are only slightly disturbed, but
10 what depth the tidal current extends
can never, perhaps be satisfactorily de-
termined. The Gulf Stream is about
3,o00 feet deep, having for its bottom a
bed Of colder water Of various depths.
but rs the stream 10 the result Of other
causes than those which produce the
tides, II IL not safe TO estimate the
depths Of the tidal currents BY its own.

The following very clever an d
subllmelY impudent dodge was
sometime since adopted by Paris
ian thief: A lady entering her
apartment, discovered that a man
was under her bed. With much
presence of mind, she exclaimed
=" Oh, dear; what bore; 1 forgot
my parcel after all, F" and presently
left the room, locking the door.
The thief looked out of the win
dow, and saw there was no escape
that way, and SO he proceeded to
undress himself and get into bed.
Before long key turned in the
door, and q voice came from the
bed, as the lady, accompanied by an
officer of police, entered, asking,
Why, what's all this about -
Then, as they approached the bed,
he exclaimed: "Ah, hnh see how
it is. Madame is tired of me, is she
and thinks she will be rid of me in
this way? well, well, I'll CO." In
vain the lady Indignantly protested,
a nd demanded his arrest. The off
Ger thought it would be useless, un-
der the circumstances, to detain him,
and he was soon out of bed and
away.

AN OLD FARMERS OPINIoN.-An
old farmer once said to us that he
would not have hired man on his
farm who did not habitually whis-
tie. He always hired whistlers.
He said he never knew a whistling
laborer to find fault with his food,
his bed, or complain of any little
extra work he was asked to per-
form. Such a man was generally
kind to children and to animals in
his care. He would whistle chill
ed lamb into warmth and life, anG
would bring hat full of eggs from
the barn without breaking one of
them. He found such a man more
careful about closing gates, putting
up bars, and seeing that the nuts
on his pillow were all properly
frightened before he took it into
the field. He never knew a whist
ling hired man to ever kick or beat
a COW, nor drive her on a run in,
as to a battle. He had noticed
the sheep he fed in the yard and
shed gathered around him as he
whistled, without fear. He had
never employed a whistler who
was not thoughtful and economi-
cal. 1t affords a means of one SO
entertaining himself that he need
never be without company when
he can whistle.

Stealing 1000 Head of Cattle

Hamilton (Texas) Herald.
We learn from a gentleman who
lives in the western part of this
county, that last winter a party of
men drove q herd of cattle from
Bell county, and kept them for q
time in Brown county, near the
Hamilton line, where..their herd was
added to by small herd of cattle
taken principally from that section.
The mysterious movements of those
in control of the herd soon excited
in the minds of the people living
near suspicious that all was not
right. The cattle men, knowing
that they were suspected, moved
their herd early in the spring, in
creasing it as they went. Some few
weeks several citizens of that Sec
ton, who had missed cattle, follow
ed the herd, and overlook them
about 300 miles west of here. The
herd contained about 1000 cattle,
guarded by about thirty well-armed
men. The pursuers identified many
of their own and their neighbors'
cattle in the herd, but were told they
could not have them, and were adj
vised to return home Immediately,
which they did; and now another
party OF about fifty citizens of the
vicinities from whence the cattle
were stolen, have started in pursuit
of the thieves, and it is hoped they
will succeed in capturing them, as
we'll as the cattle.

His True Story.

a citizen was yesterday halted
near the Soldiers Monument by a
frank-faced old man, who had a
fence picket in one hand and an
old boot in the other. He said he
wanted ten cents to buy bread
with, and the citizen replied:
81 don't know anything about
you. There are lots of dead beats
and imposters around"
"See here" began the old man as
he laid the picket and boot down,
81 live on Croghan street, and I
can take you to forty men who
know it. We haven't had any
thing in the house for a week.
Day before yesterday / began eat
ing the pickets off the fence. while
my wife commenced on a bedroom
door. I knew everybody would
think I was liar and so brought
one of the pickets along. There's
the marks of my teeth to show for
themselves
eyes, looks as If you had bitten
IN there replied the citizen as he
scanned the picket.
81 don't like 'em,' continued the
old man. "The slivers kinder
catch as they go down, and the
paint gives me the heart burn.
After two meals 1 changed off on
to brick bats. 1 see you are aston
ished, but truth is my motto, and
here is the proof"
He pulled out q piece of brick
and held it to the citizens nose.
There were tooth marks and no
chance for argument.
"They don't agree with me-"
sighed the old man. "The per
cent. Of nutriment don't hardly
come up to my standard, and a
bad taste fingers i'm my mouth. 1
only ate half a dozen and then
changed off to old boots. I take
one out like this, soak it over night
in strong I've, shake out the pegs
in the morning, and then we boil
1t with an old bone, sprinkle in a
little bran, and the soup fills up,
if nothing more. This is the fourth
old boot, and I suppose I might
get along all right for a week or
so, but to-day is my birth day, and
1 thought I'd like a little bread to
sort % commemorate the occa-
sion"
The citizen looked at him, mouth
open, and not a word to say.
81 suppose 1 might skirmish
around and find an old piece of
buffalo robe and bake it for din
ner, but if you had just as soon
lend me ten cents I think I'll ac-
cept it,
The citizen handed out the mon
ey like a man in a dream, and
slowing it down his pocket the cid
man picked up the boot and smell
ed of the heel, lifted up the picket
and bit off a silver, and said as he
moved away:
eff you ever get down to brick
bats call on me for q loan.-Det.
