A Remarkable Phenomenon.

We are informed that gentleman re.
siding in Wakulla County by the name
of Cox, who is cultivating small! farm,
upon arising one morning last week was
surprised to find that during the mig Mt
his residence had been changed from a
region where water could not be seen
and was situated on the border of lake.
When he retired the evening before his
house was far away from any pond,
lake, or river, but upon going out next
morning his surprise can be imagined
when, instead of his garden, an i'm
mense sink, fifty or sixty yards square,
filled with water, running up with q
eighteen or twenty feet of his residence,
met his gaze. During the night this
transformation occurred, leaving not
even vestige of the tallest pine trees
which were standing in their iull males
ty only twelve hours before. These
sinks, however, are not frequent in that
county. 1t is only short time since
that sink occurred near Lavender's
Mill, more remarkable than the one al,
luded to above, in that it occurred up
on the very top of hill-one of the
highest points # land in that county

The Dutch Ruling Family.

The Hamburg Correspondent says that
the death of the Prince of Orange has
caused considerable anxiety ia Holland
regarding the succession to the throne.
King William III. is 63 years old, and
the only other living members of the
Dutch branch of the Orange Nassau
family are the Kings uncle, Prince Fred
erick, brother-in- law of the German
Emperor, who has no sons, and Prince
Alexander of the Netherlands, sickly
young man of E8, unmarried and obliged
to live in the south of France on account
of his weak health. If the King should
have no more children, the younger
line Of the House of Nassau will in all
probability become extinct, and the
crown of the Netherlands will pass after
the death of the present King to the
elder line, that of the Grand Duke
Adclphus of Nassau, who was deprived
of his throne in 1866. This family also
is not a very numerous one. Duke
Adolphus, who is 63 years old, has only
one son, who has for more than IL years
been morganatically married to the
Countess Natalie Won Merenburg q

The possibility of the extinction OF a
house which has been so intimately con.
nected with the history of the Neither.
lands during the past 800 years, and
which has essentially contributed to the
establishment of the independence o
the county, had not before been con
templated; and the Dutch look forward
with alarm to the prospect of the throne
passing to the Dukes of Nassau. Since
the wars of 1901, when the Dutch
warmly sympathized with France, there
has prevailed among them 3 fear o
Germany, which is continually mani
testing itself, and the accession of 1
Duke of Nassau to the throne of th'
Netherlands would be viewed with dis
like, not only because he is German
but because it is thought his accession
might give Germany a pretext for real
izing those designs of conquest whicl
she is supposed to have long entertaine'
with regard to Holland.

How to Swim.

The editor of the London Truth, sitter
observing that probably not one in
twenty of the persons who indulge in
boating on holiday can swim, proceeds
to tell his readers how to acquire this
accomplishment. "Nothing,n he says,
"is more easy. When the air is out of
a body its owner sinks; when the air is
in body its owner floats. Let any one
slowly draw in his breath as he draws
back his legs and pushes forward his
arms, retain it while he is preparing for
the stroke which is to propel him, and
slowly allow it to 90 through his lips as
his arms are passed back from before
his head to his sides and his legs are
stretched out. The action of the stroke
should not be quite horizontal, but
should be made on slight incline
downward. The real reason why peo
pie take weeks to learn how to swim il
because swimming professors either d.
not know or do not choose to teach, th'
philosophy of breathing, so as to rem
der the body buoyant. / would engag

AN alluring description of Washing

Brents, the Delegate from that Terrific
ry to Congress. The population is said
to be orderly and hard working, law
abiding, religious, and mindful of the
Importance of school-houses in every
settlement. The eastern part of the
Territory is said to be vast plain of re-
markable fertility, on which immense
herds OF cattle, sheep, and horses are
raised, and subsist entirely on natural
pastures, both in winter ard summer.
This land produces yield of wheat.
barley, and oats. The climate is mild
and healthful. Hardy emigrants are
constantly pouring in. The coast Sec
tions are rich in timber, fish, and coal,
that give employment to thousands.
Last year 100000 tons OF coal. 2lO ,OO0,-
600 feet of lumber, and $4,000, 900
worth of canned and salt salmon were
exported. Railroad lines are being rap

A Bit of Moss.

To the eye of Him who watches over
q sparrow's fall there is nothing great
nothing small. The man OF science
trains his eye to a similar impartiality in
looking at nature. A moss to the un-
trained eye seems insignificant. To the
eye of the botanist, it is little world.
A friend once complained to the great
Swedish botanist that Sweden did not
aft )rd scope enough for the study Of
nature. Linp;eus laid his hand upon a
bit of moss, on a bed of which they we e
reclining, and said
"Under this palm is material for the
the study of lifetime!"
Oae day, when lost in an African des-
ert, Mungo Park came across a tuft OF
moss. This bit of green growing in an
arid waste was messenger from God te
the responding explorer.
If God cares for the moss" he saic
to himself, surely He cares for me. ;
And he went on his way, exhilarated By
the sight of bit of moss.

Snuff in the Senate.

On each side of the Vice-President's
seat in the United States Senate are
fastened two old snuff boxes, which are
kept filed by the attendants. They are
the result of q custom inaugurated al
most at the foundation of the Govern
ment, when snuff: taking was universal
habit Thurman is the only Senator
who makes 3 habit of using snuff, but
sometimes 8 Senator will stop and take
an occasional pinch, while the many
visitors to the chamber take little out
of CURIOSITY. At first the box was kept
on the Vice Presidents desk, but in
those days so many of the Senators
used the article, and so frequently TO :
got to bring their boxes with them, thst
it was sresolved to place two public re-
ceptacies for it, and in the annual ex-
pensas of the Senate is always found
the item of snuff. The aged Doo1keep-
er, Isaac Bassett, stated to your CORE
spondent that he had often seen Henry
Clay leave his place in the midst of a
speech, walk gravely to the box, take a
piach and continue his remarks. "When
was page, nearly 80 years ago." said
he, "many of the Senators would give
me sign which indicated that they
wanted snuff. and l would carry the box
to them. Nearly all the Senators used
snuff in those days. Henry Clay was in
the habit of giving me 50 cents week
to keep bis box full of snuff, and have
never forgotten that when ne left here
for the last time he owed me so cents
for this service. l never brought bill
against the estate" said the old gentle
man, smiling, Sand l guess the debt il
outlawed by this time. .''-Fhitadelphi1
