On the summit proper Is the hotel, kept
by Mrs. Dodge and managed by her son,
John, where the tourist 10 permitted TO reg
lister on condition that he pays dollar and
half for a fifty-cent dinner, being promised
by the enterprising manager Of alittle sheet,
called Among The Clouds, that If he registers
before hslfpast twelve his name will appear
among the list of arrivals published In the
one o'clock edition. In the rear Is the old
p-Top House, now used as printing Of
fee, and about a hundred feet off is the
United States Signal Office, a small, low,
wooden building, fastened down by long
beams running entirely over the top Of the
roof, and securely bolted TO the solid rock to
prevent its being blown into the adjoining ra-
vine. An observatory about so feet high is
near by, TO which an admission fee OF fifteen
cents Is charged, which, together with the
stables Of the Glen House Stage Company,
completes the settlement on the summit.

the summer season, so annoyed by tourists

MINISTER.
"Till Death rs part"
So speaks the heart,
When each repeats the words Of doom;
Thro' blessings and thro' curse,
For better and for worse,
We win be one till that dread ho1r shall
come.
Life, with its myriad grasp,
Our yearning souls shall clasp
BY ceaseless love and still expectant wonder,
In bonds that shall endure,
Indissolubly pure,
Till God in death shall part our paths asun-

TIL death us join,

That to the broken heart breathes hope sub

Thro' lonely hours
And shattered powers
We are still one. in spite Of change and
time.
Death, with his healing hand,
Shall once more knit the band
Which needs but that one link which none
can sever;
Till, thro' the Only Good,
Heard, felt and understood,
Our life in God shall make us one forever.

Securing tie Ends Of Fence Wira.

Much of the trouble in making dur
able and substantial wire fence comes
from not having suitable support at
the ends. A correspondent of the
Country Genfien20n gives the result OF
his experience as follows: During the
summer vacation of 1880, l built two
pieces of b..rbei wire fence on my farm
in Tompkins county. One piece, Of
about thirty rods. was at one ond fast
eneh TO a thrifty maplc-trec. and at the
other to a post firmly set and braccd bv
another post slanting to the ground.
The other piece, of about twenty-five
rods. was fastened to tree at each end.
This summer found the latter piece ia
just as good condition rs the day it WAS
put up, though told by my neighbOrs
that in several places the lower wire
had been bent to the ground by the
weight OF snow piled upon it. The
wires OF the former piece were bent
down, the post which had supposed to
be securely braced was looscned and
stood very much awry, and the whole
fence began to have that bedraggled
appearance which had prcjudiced me
against the wire fences on my neigh
BORIS farms. II seemed to me that The
secret of wire fence construction lay in
nav 'ihS tie wires properly SecuTcu II
the ends. This year, wishing to build
a piece sixty rods long, deter1n n I'd to
try an experiment in fastening the
ends. At one end of the piece / was
fortunate in having a sturdy locust tree.
The other end was secured in the fol-
lowing manner: Four posts were set on
the line of the fence at intervals OF
eight feet. each post being set three
and onc-half feet deep. From the
upper end OF the first post to the second,
near the ground, u brace was firmly
secured. The same was done between
the second and third. and between the
third and fourth. The rest of the dis
tance posts were placed at intervals of
thirty feet, and the wires were tightly
stretched from the locust-trec to the
first of the braced posts. l confidently
expect TO find this fence next summer
in as good condition rs tie one made
of three wires placed at distances M
fourteen, twenty-eight. and forty-two
inches from the ground. Such fence
is sure protection against all kinds A
cattle, and is the cheapest fence l can
Juild.'

Too Hot,

A writer in the Portland Transcript
gives the following laughable descrip-
ton of the trouble toad got himself
into by not taking care what he ate.
He swallowed a wasp. thinking, no
doubt, that it was large but defence
less fly. The realization of his mistake
came when tho wasp began pricking

to stand on his head, but was unsucccs-

himself to his utmost height two or

Combat of Allirators and Sharks.
[oral. There is none.


A Florid, correspondent of the New
York GSaat gives a graphic account of
a fight between alligators and sharks:
..Heavy eastern gnles, combining
with the action of the Gulf Stream,
sometimes shut the inlet. Shoals of
black bass left the fresh-water streams
and appeared at Jupiter. Solid acres
of saltwater fishes piled themselves in
to tho blight of the inlet. and fought
for the sea- water that oozed through the
sand at high tide.
'.The alligators of the Everglades
got wind of what was going on. They
came down the Allokchatchie and Lake
W.rth Creek in scores, and attacked
the fish damned in the blight. The
slaughter was astonishing. The water
turned to blood, and was carpeted with
dead fish. The alligators were REIN
forced until their number was estimat-
ed at five hundred.
They gorged themselves with fish.
and dozed away for days on the hot
sand beneath the scorching rays of the
sun. The beach was black with their
mailed bodies.
..Onc day north wind arose. 1t
gathered in strength day by day. until
its fury was that of gale. 1t began
to back up the water in the inlet. Rain
fell, and the water increased in depth.
The wind shifted to the northwest. A
high neap-tide followed. As it began
to fall thread of fresh water found
its way over the sandy barrier. Within
twenty minutes the dam was burst, and
the pent-up waters were roaring and
rushing to the sea.
''The army of alligatnrs was caught
in the flood and carried outside. A
terrific fight ensued. The neap-tide
had brought hundreds of enormous
sharks to the coast. They scented the
fresh water and made for the inlet.
Frantic after their enforced fasting dur
ing the storm they attacked the alliga-
tors.
THE noise of the combat was heard
above the roar of the ocean. A son of
Judge Paine. of Fort Capron, who was
an eyewitness of tho scene, tells me
that he saw sharks and alligators rise
on the crest of the waves and fight like
dogs.
"The dead alligators had lost their
heads and tails. The sharks. in some
cases. were nearly bitten in two pieces.
Clouds Of buzzards. and even the
Bahama vultures. were drawn to the
beach by The offal. MIR. Paine fancies
that the sharks were too active for the
alliga,ors. but others say that the per-
centage of bodies on the beach indicat-
ed that the weight of metal was in favor
of the iron-clad reptiles.'

Two Different Places.

In the hurry and hustle incident to
the publication of great family news
paper errors arc certain to creep in, and
it appears that the railroad system in
some parts of the country is becoming
fully as complicated and liable to mis-
takes as q newspaper. The other day
there arrived in New Haven, Conn.,. q
poor woman with six children and two
dollars. This, however, is only due
proportion. as, if the woman had twelve
children, she probably would not have
had more than dollar, or fifty cents.
She had come from Washington, D. c.,
to meet her husband, and for long
time conld not understand why she was
unable to get any trace of him. She
had expected he would be AT the dcpot
to meet her, but he had not met her,
and no one could give her any points.
So she sat down on the depot steps and
let the briny tears have their way. The
chorus was naturally taken up by TIE
six young ones, each an octave higher
than the next in age. but all chording
so well that the trained musical ear
could not dotcct the least discorti or
false note. A couple of baggage men
sauntered up. and one OF them said
hearuessly that he was afraid it was
going to be considerable of a shower.
The other said it was needed in some
localities badly. for corn and potatoes,
and finally under their cheering re-
marks the woman dried her eyes and
assumed look of determination. 1t
became apparent that Richard was him
self again, and the woman asked the
baggage men if they knew her husband.
They said they knew lots of husbands.
but if the woman would tell them the
name of hers. and where he lived. they
could perhaps give her y moro definite
answer than they otherwise, could with
the meagre data at hand. The peculiar
force of the remark. and its reasonable
ness, seemed to strike the woman, and
she said her husbands name was Stokes,
that he was Il carpenter working for his
boss in New Haven. Fayelte county,
Pa. As soon as the baggage men could
control their emotion they explained to
the poor woman the difference between
New Haven. Conn.,. and New Haven,
Pa. it being several hundred miles
Then there was fresh burst of tears,
with music by the full band. and hat
was passed around. Ticket agents
should be more careful when selling
tickets to unsophisticated people and
