Drifting a Hundred MIIe..

Recently, about five miles below
Chester, I'm the Mississippi river, boy
of about seven years of age was found
in the river, floating on the trunk Of a
cottonwood tree. Two farm hands,
Henry Schultz and Joe Maxey, who
are employed on the farm of John
kleinwater, were crossing the river I'm
skill when they noticed the trunk of
tree floating on the river and some
thing lying on the top of it. Their
curiosity was excited, so they pulled up
to the huge tree, which was about a
hundred feet long, and were greatly
astonished at finding that the object was
a young boy. The little fellow was ly-
ing IN "A hollow which had formed in
the trunk. He was unconscious and in
high state OF fever, while his wasted
form and emaclated appearance bespoke
long abstinence from food. lie had
evidently been floating on the trunk for
five or six days. The two men lifted
him into the skiff, rowed ashore and
carried him to Mr.. kleinwGter's farm
house, and medical assistance was called
in. The boy renamed for twenty-four
hours In IA comatose condition, but at
last began To give signs OF conscious
ness. Stimulants were continually
given him and he drank so greedily of
beef tea that Doctor Schmidt had to
moderate the quantities.: Slowly and
gradually his pulse began TO beat at the
renewed vigor, and under the careful
fro rftan tat H. Il
considerably, so that the doctors are
now sanguine of his ultimate recovery.
He Is still unable to converse, so that il
Is not known who he Is or where he
comes from, or how he got into such a
perilous fix. The boy has fair COM
plexion, light brown curly hair and
blue eyes. On his left arm there Is a
mole near the shoulder, while on the
right arm the vaccination mark is
plainly visible. He was dressed in
jeans pants, and cotton shirt, and was
without shoes or stockings. The pre-
sumption Is that the boy must have
drifted on the trunk from some point
near the mouth of the Missouri River.
Probably he yentIred on the trunk
while 1t was lying close to the banks,
and by some means 1t became detached
and was carried down the stream by the
current. The trunk, fortunately, was
admirably fitted for resting-place, as
IL was gnarled and hollow centers were
formed In it. Had 1t not been so the
poor little fellow must inevitably have
met with watery grave. The little
fellow has certainly had a most miracu-
lous escape. He must at least have been
floating on the trunk for five or six
days, during which time he OF course
had no sustenance. The men who took
him of the tree said that in one place
the bark appeared gnawed, which would
indicate that the lad, to appease the
pangs of hunger, actually nibbled and
gnawed at the tree.

FITTING in smallpox.

Mr. Gregory, Of Meschants' College.
Blackpool, believes that "pitting 4" The
sad and permanent result Of smallpox
ought rarely be seen I'm any civilized
community. lie starts with these facts
that poor people arc pftted least, the
higher class plenty of light, and no
class Of people are pitted under their
dress. Poor people have less light in
their rooms, the higher class plenty Of
light, and under the dress there is less
light than IN either case. The expIa-
nation Is a scientific one. The sun
light consists Of three primary colors.
The red, the blue, and the yellow rays
have distinct and Characteristic prop
critics. The yellow gives us light, the
red gives us heat, and the blue actin
ism. IL is the actinic influence Of the
blue rays which, in Mr.. Grcpory's
theory, causes "pitting." No seed
will germinate, and young plants will
soon perish, IL the chemically active
rays, That Is, the actinic rays, are filter
cd from the sunlight. a yellow blind
drawn over q window will absorb all
the actinic rays. The pus or yariolar
postulus absorbs by IL yellow me-
dunn the actinic rays, which results
in corrOsiOn Of the tender flesh al the
base, and thus leaves the dreaded per

HUMOROUS.

In IsN'T THE FIsH.-A citizen who
was getting ready for trip TO the Flats
and struggle with bass and pickerel,
was stopped on the street by a solemn
minded acquaintance who said:
at seems curious 10 me that you will
go up there and sit in the hot sun and
fish, when fish are so cheap in the
market"

FISH, replied the other.
Then why do you go?"

fisherman. Every fisherman you
meet up there offers you a ten-cent
cigar and "A drink of six-dollar whiskey
while you may walk around town all
day and never be asked to even take a
glass of water with a piece Of Hy-paper
In it."
The solemn-minded man looked hor-
rified., but he hadn't gone two blocks
away before he entered a store and
asked to see fshing-line-a cheap
