Uncle Scion Chase, the Green
hacker of Maine, dresses for effect.
He wears a white slouched wool hat,
cowhide shoes and pantaloons and
coat sleeves much too short. 1t is
said that a large nose is a sign of
character. If this is so, Uncle Scion
has a good deal of character. His
language is in keeping with his dress.

If the well-equipped forces of Gen
eral Wolseley were to-day deprived
of devices of American origin, it is
extremely doubtful whether his
fighting could have been attended
with the success that has marked its
progress. The "Abyssinian Wells, !"
as they are called in England, are
but the American "drive" wells, so
indispensable in the West and North.
west. The deadly weapon invented
by DR.. GattIing played an important
part in the bombardment of AleXan-
dria, a single vessel pouring 5000
rounds from this American inven-
ton, a shower of lead which the
boldest looter could not withstand.
The British electric light, which was
adopted a year ago in the English
navy, renders a nocturnal surprise to
the fleet impossible and enable a war
vessel, while shrouded in impenetra-
bic darkness, TO pour radiance upon
q distant fort that will make every
object plain. If Wolseley will go a
step or two further in this direction
he ought to be able to lunch in the
shadows of the great pyramids in
less than a week. Let him instruct
a battalion of American book agents,
and prize package train boys in the
Arabic tongue and turn them upon
the foe. 1t will save carnage and
send the followers Of Arab to seek
silence and solitude in the trackless
deserts and about the upper cataracts
Of the Nile.

WHILE the Panama Canal scheme
was under discussion an American
engineer offered as one of his objec-
tions to the route the danger from
earthquakes. That it should not
have been is shown 10y the recent
shocks in that region. They were
so severe that the bridges were
thrown out of the line and twisted
so that traffic over them had to be
stopped. Itrequires no great effort
of the Imagination to see the mis-
chief which an earthquake might do
in disturbing the bed of the canal.

WHEAT has tumbled in price for
some days past, and the figures of
this year are way down below last
seasons quotations. Now corn is
the object of the attack. Big crops
are magnificent things for the
country, but this, the biggest of all
our crops, is already causing heart
burnings and disappointment among
the big farmers and the big operators
for rise. 1t is feared that most of
it will have to be warehoused for
better prices.

THE trite saying, "Westward the
star of empire takes its way" will
have to be amended, to include the
South, curiously enough. While the
New England States lose two mem
bers of the next electoral college by
the new appointment, the Middle
States gain only two but the West
gains eighteen, and the South fifteen.
At the last Presidential election the
electoral college had 800 members,
which number is increased to 402.

Horse Sense.


The three horses connected with En-
CINE Company No, II, Boston High
lands, are handsome animals, and are
noted for their remarkable intelligence
as for their fine appearance. Under the
care of the members the horses have
become very tractable, and are obedi-
ent to the slightest word or gesture A
few mornings ago some evidences of
their understanding was witnessed, and
are well worth detailing. One horse,
Charley" had received no food since
the night previous, and when he was
given his morning supply of oats, he
began eating with great zest, but the
words, "Charley, come hear" spoken
in low tone from the rear of the stable
caused him instantly to stop eating his
tempting breakfast and to- back from
his stall and walk to the person calling
him. Each of the horses did the same
thing without hesitating, and at the
command Ego back" each trotted to
his stall. The harnesses were remov-
ed from the horses, and each one was
told in succession to go and put on his
collar. The collars were placed on end,
SO that the heads could go through, and
each horse walked deliberately across
the floor and wriggled his head into his
collar without the slightest aid. After
this they poked their heads into their
brides, which were held for them, each
horse opening his mouth and taking his
bit voluntarily. The main part OF the
harness can be hung in any part of the
room with the assurance that at the
word of command the horses will walk
to the exact spot and place themselves
in such a position that the harness can
be readily dropped into place. The en-
deavors of the animals to secure posi-
ton favorable to the easy adjustment
of the collars almost compells one to
believe that they are endowed with
reason.

He tired, however, of spelling the
words to himself, and engaged the ser
vices of a boy about thirteen years old,
having the next stall, to learn his les
sons. Everything passed OF all right
for two or three days, and then a
storm arose and climax came. Hold
ing the book in both hands, the boy
observed:
"We now come to the word welcome.
How do you spell it?'
"Well, sir, spell it w-e-l-c-u-m!"
"Not correct"
"K-o-m."
"No, sir"
"Then it's KIM"

"Boy, don't you lie to mel" warned

the boy, as he laid down his book.

Fhe Talk AbOut-the- Weather Fiend.

Bob Burdette has been riding in a
Burlington street-car, and the follow
ing is the result of his observations:
"Pretty warm," the man with the
thin clothes said to the man in the
corner seat as the South Hall car
was coming down the Division-street
steps.
whats pretty warm?" growled the
man in the coroner.
"Why, the weather"
"What weather." more grliffly than
ever.
"Why," the man with the thin
clothes said, looking as though he wish
ed he hadn't begun it, "thls weather"
"Well," said the man in the coroner,
elbows this weather different from any
otner?''
The man with the thin clothes looked
nervously at the dumb mule and said,

Glow do you know it is?" asked the
man in the corner.
The other man began to wish he was
well out of it. and said he supposed 1t
was; he hadn't heard how the
'Isn't the weather the same every
where?' savagely demanded the man in
the corner.
"Why, no." the man with the thin
clothes replied, wishing to goodness he
had a newspaper to hide behind: mo;
it's warmer in some places, and some
places it's COLDER
"What makes it warmer in some
places than it's colder in others?' re-
morselessly pursued the man in the
corner.
"Why," the man with thin clothes
said piteously, "the sun, with the effects
of the suns heat

it's warmer in others?' roared the man
in the corner indignantly. Never

"No, 'the man with thin clothes hast
ened to explain, 81 didn't mean that.
The sun makes it warmer"
Then what makes it colder?" pur-
sued the remorseless man in the
corner.
The man in thin clothes wiped tue
beaded perspiration from his pallid
brow, and said slowly he guessed lit
was the ice"
"What ice?" demanded the inquisi-
tor.
'Why," the victim said, with all
symptoms of approaching dissolution
apparent in his tremHlous voice, the
ice that mathematician by the
frost"
"Did you ever see any ice that wasn't
frozen?" howled the man in the corner
in a burst of derision.
The man in thin clothes huskily
whispered that he wished he was dead,
and Said "No, that is, he believed he
didn't"
Chen" Numbered the man in the
corner, "what., are you talking about?'
The man in thin clothes then made
an effort to brace up, and spicely re-
piled that he was trying to talk about
the weather"
''And what do you know about it?"
triumphantly reared the man in the
