A Siighted Girls Revenge.

Norman Spencer stole Sl7, 800 from
the Pennsylvania Oil Company, that en-
ployed him as bookkeeper, and fled to
the Southwest. The robbery was
carefully planned, and the thief7s inten-
tion was to take new name, settle down
as a planter, and marry the Titusville
girl to whom he had long been engaged
She knew all about this scheme, and was
to join him as soon as practicable. A
detective was sent to watch her, and
when she started Westward, after receiv-
ing a mysterious letter, he guessed she
meant to join her lover. He shadowed
her on the journey so closely that she
became aware of his watching. At
Quincy, ILL.,, she hired woman ofabout
her own size and shape to put on her
travelling suit, cover her face with a
veil and go to Chicago. The detective
unsuspectingly followed the wrong wo-
man, while thereal one went on to meet
the fugitive thief Meanwhile Spencer
had bought a plantation near Galveston,
Texas, and fallen in love with neigh
boris daughter. Desiring to marry her,
he wrote to the Titusville girl at point
on her journey that she need not come to
him. The Titusville girl was as quick
at revenge as she had been at deceiving
the detective. She at once informed the
police where Spencer was and he was
arrested.

An Enormous Condor.

In the course of the day | had an OPP
portunity of shooting a condor; it was
so satiated with its repast on the carcass
of a dead horse as to suffer me to ap
proach within pistol shot before it ex-
tended its wings to take flight, which to
me was the signal to fire; and having
loaded with an ample charge of pellets,
my aim proved effectual and fatal.
What formidable monster did | behold
in the ravine beneath me, screaming and
tapping in the last convulsive struggles
Of life! 1t may be difficult to believe
that the most gigantic animal that IN
habits the earth or the ocean can be
equaled by a tenant of air; and tho Sc
persons who have never seen a larger
bird than our mountain eagle will
probably read with astonishment Of a
species of that same bird. in the
southern hemisphere, being so large and
and to lift it into the air, whence it lets
it fall to the ground in order to kill and
prey upon the carcass. But this aston
ishment must in a great measure subside
when the dimensions of. the bird are
taken into consideration, and which, in

Words of Wisdom.

There is no difficulty to him who
wills.
An open countenance, but close
thoughts.
We live no more of our time than we
spend we'll.
Never mind where you work; care
more about you1 work.
There is nothing SO fatal to comfort
as well as to decorum, as fuss.
1t is the best proof of the virtues of
family circle to see happy fireside-
How few faults are there seen by us
which we have not ourselves committed.
The heart is book which we ought
not to tear in our hurry to get at its CON
tents.
Be not affronted at jest. Ifone throw
salt at thee, thou wilt receive no narm
unless thou hast sore places.
Hannah Moore said to Horace Wal
pole" If | wanted to punish an enemy
it should be by fastening on him the
trouble of constantly hating somebody" !"
Times of general calamity and confu-
sion have ever been productive of the
greatest minds. The purest ore comes

The Two MiIl-Owners.

There were two men (about 1889,
Stickpenny & Whewell, who owned Il
sawmill near Old Town, Maine. in COM
mon. The arrangement under which
the mill was operated was that each one
had the mill all to himself during the al
ternate weeks. Stickpenny was a mean,
rusty old chap. Whewell was shrewd
Investigating young man. The mill was
run by crude, rough kind of an under
shot wheel that gave very little power
for the amount of water used, so that the
water was often short. Whewell wanted
to put in new iron spiral vent wheel
then just coming out, but Stickpenny
would have nothing to do with it. He
wasn't going to lay out money for any
g ssuch job as that" Finally, Whewell
said he would pay all the bills, to which
Stickpenny at last agreed, "but pro
vided you put the wheel in in your
week. SO the new wheel was put in,
and Whewell. being ofa mechanical turn
of mind, experimental with it, and soon
found that by plugging up some Of the
orifices the saw went through the log
faster than when they were all open. So
he plugged them up during his week,
and always pulled the plugs all out again
for Stickpenny to operate with. Soon it
began to be noticed that somehow or
other Whewell always managed to saw
a couple of thousand feet more of lum ber
in his week than ever Stickpenny could,
no matter how the pond was. Finally,
Stickpenny went down to see Whewell
about it.
Says he: Whewell, how is it that
you always manage to saw more lumber
in a given time than can when my turn
comes roundPn Says Whewell: "DoR' t
you know how that's WAL, I'lltell you.
It's because you amt been treatin' of me
fairly on this matter. It's again nature.
You can't expect the mill to saw as well
foryou as it does for them as do the square
thing all around" Stickpenny wouldn't
believe that and went away. But still
the mill went on turning out regularly
more lumber for Whewell than Stick
penny managed to get out oft; so finally,
the latter came around and said !:
What's your bill? I'll pay my share. "
He paid it, and thereafter Stickpenny
managed.to saw lumber just as lively as
Whewell did. "Well,n said the old
fellow, II always knew that the folks
around here were all ag'in me, but ]
never thought the Almighty was; y ard
he died without finding out the explain
alton of il all.

We often wonder if we could live our
lives better if we could live them over
again. Certainly Eddie and her hus-
band profited by their former mistakes.
For one thing, they spent their second
honeymoon in a home of their own.
When Eddie went down from Sweet
brier springs, in the fall, to Port Royal,
she founG a lovely house made ready for
her, of which she was the unconditional
mistress. George explained, to all whom
it might concern, that the situation of
the house suited the requirements ofhis
practice better than that of the LIE Roy
homestead.

Sometimes, indeed, Eddie wondered
whether her former troubles had not
been chimeras of her brain.

Strips the woodland bare,

Strips the woodland bare
Sing, and make the morn thy friend !

Where thy brother mates attend,
Full ofjoyous liberty
Speed thy wing from spray to spray
Teach the world thy merry song;
Swiftly summer glides away

Pleasure lasts not long

Total population. i, ,8l3, ,4o7 Av. 20

From the above table we learn that
the average death rate per 1000 living is
less in twenty-three cities of this coun-
try than in as many in Great Britain.
Still, as will be seen, the population in
the cities of America is not as dense, and
in most cases the water is more pure
than there. In England the rule is laid
down that the mortality of healthy
city should not exceed II per 1000. I'm

According to the De,tSche Algemeine
Zeitung, German, named Karl Stein
bach, has made an important discovery
in photography. After years of study
and experiment he has succeeded in OBJ
tanning chemical composition, by
means Of which a mirror image may be
fixed and sold as photograph With
this composition the mirror surface is
painted, and the back part of the mirror
receives also a coating of oil. The mir
ror thus prepared is neld before the per-
son who is to be photographed. The oil
coating evaporates, and the likeness of
the person remains in natural colors on
the light surface. The image, so fixed,
is brought in to bath, and is exposed
half an hour to sunlight, before deliv-
cry. "A rich capitalist in Peru, it is said,
has acquired this invention for $780,
900. and large establishments are to be
formed in North and South America for
carrying it out.

Frequently old peach trees are made
thrifty and fruitful by severe cutting
back-cutting the large branches down
to the very stubsf Not long ago we were
told by a very intelligent and expert
enced fruit grower that he was once very
much surprised by seeing some previous
ly fruitless old peach trees hanging full
Of superior, large fruit. Inquiry led to
the statement that they were apparently
worthless trees. which had been the
year before closely trimmed to get the
outsretching limbs out of the way of
working around them with team, so
that the trees presented little more than
trunk with stubs sticking out a foot or
two. and now hung full Of fine fruit.
