Mr.. W. w. Query. Of this city, is
in many respects an extraordinary
man. He is now about 40 years old.
La childhood both arms were cut off
about half way between the elbow
and shoulder by a garmill. But he
was full OF energy, and it was not a
great while before he learned to get
along without arms He grew to be,
and is vet, man of prominence. IN
tegrity and usefulness. He has
wife and several children, IS Coroner
Of the county, acting bailiff of Amer
icus District, and making a handsome
income.
In the business Of life Mr.. Query
hardly misses his arms. He inserts
the pen staff in his mouth when
writing, and writes as legibly and
as fast as men generally write who
are accustomed to the use Of the pen.
He can swim. drive a horse, tit
knot, shoot a gun and do almost any
thing. and do it as well as if his arms
had not been cut off.

An excellent use has been found for
the enormous quantity of sawdusC an
nually made in the lumber regions of
our country. From the Popular
Science News FOR February, 1884, we
learn that Illuminating gas is made
from it, Any kind of sawdust can be
used but that from rcsinous wood is
preferable and affords larger yield
of gas. From twenty thousand to
thirty thousand cubic feet of gas is
obtained from a net ton of fuel. The
wood gas has the advantage of con
tanning no sulphur, is more easily
purified than coal-gas, and is said to
be fully as good, while it is less ex-
pensiye. The ordinary burners are
used for wood-gas. Mill owners can
construct chemical works to make
their own GAS.

TEN CENTS AND A MORAL.

Here is a silver dime my son;
Looks like lead, it is blackened so
Not a bit like the shining one
Idropped in my pocket week ago
DinPvf Yes Don't you think Il strange
Itshouid loose its shine ia 80 short a tune!
Would YOU like TO know how came thiS change
For the worse 70 o brand new silver dnnef
The cause is simple and easily told
But lay it to heart, Q son Of mine
See If il does not a moral hold
For u bright brave lad with WISH 10 siiine
draw from my pocket a copper cent
see there Is the secret; the silver dime,
Dropped in this pocket by accident,
Has rubbed against copper all TINS t'tle-
And the cent ia nevcra whit more white
Nor improved al all by its company,
While the silver dime comes out less brlbI'i
And lis value is questioned as you see.
Now the moral for boys is very clear,
You see il my son; Well lay II 10 hearI'
And see, / drop the silver here
And the copper there let them be apart.
THE Bors soLLoqUY
oh YES. the moral Is clear as day.
But 1 thought was going to get the dime;
He gives me the moral that S dad way
Aud pockets the money every time.

TOM BLINKER's SECRET.

Tom Blinker was a jovial, light
hearted. commercial gent, who,
after travelling some years for a Lon
don firm. had started IN Business as a
commission agent in Chichester. IN
fortunately ne failed-or at least he
did not succeed, which is nearly as
bad and at the date Of this story he
was pretty heavily in debt, But his
creditors were disposed to deal lenlent-
lv with him. partly because he was
known to be in the main honest, and
pari,y because he had intimated that
when Lord Montarlington returned
he would soon be in a position to dis
charge his liabilities. Lord Montar-
linpton had a large estate IN the
neighborhood, and was naturally
very much respected and looked up to
in the town. He had been absent
from England three years on foreign
tour. and Tom Blinher had not come
to Chichester till shortly after his
IordshIp had started on his travels.
Toms announcement. therefore,
caused great deal Of surprise and
speculation, and more especially as
he always referred TO Lord Montar-
lington in very guarded terms, and
never dropped the slightest hint as TO
the nature of his acQualnta1 &C. This
mysterious reticence had much more
effect upon the public mind than if
Tom had entered into details, and
though some persons were skeptlcal
enough to doubt whether Tom had
ever set eyes ON his L0rdship in his
life. it was generally believed that for
some reason or other Lord Montar-
lington would relieve him from his
difficulties.
But his Lordship's return was SO
long delayed that Toms creditors be
gan to grow impatient, and Tom him
self seemed to lose heart. There was
no Disgusting the fact that he had
reached the end of his tether, and
nothing short of a miracle could
avert bankruptcy and ruin. Duly
impressed with this unpleasant fact,
and also bearing in mind that two or
three OF his largest creditors had
threatened to take proceedings against
him Immediately, Tom wendell his
way to the Blue Boar one evening IN
very depressed condition. On reach
ing the parlor of that ancient hostelry,
where a conyivial club, of which he
was a prominent member, was want
TO hold its weekly meetings, he was
surprised at being greeted with a
chorus of congratulations and good
wishes,
"Its all right, Tom" "Cheer up, |
old boyW keep your courage up, |
Tom - were some of the reassuring ex-
CARNATIONS which greeted him in cor
dial tones, for Tom was a pleasant, |
good -natured fellow, and most people
wished him well, though few would |
lend him money.
"Why, what's up" he naturally de
manded
whats up, Haven't you heard |
Lord Montarllngton has come back2' |
said Mr. Beans, the grocer.
"You don't say SO" calculated Tom,
with a start
Yes, sure enough. He passed .
through the town this afternoon.
Wonder he didn't give you acall, Mr.
Blinker. as you're such a particular
friend of his, added Mr. Beans, who
was one of the unbelievers
Tom seemed quite taken aback zone I
wouldn't think he had heard good I
news, remarked MIR. Pestle, the chem
list, rather slyly
HIS Lordship is agoia' to set you
to rights, amt he Toms Make your
fortune, I've heard, chimed in am

alittle north of the course of the White
Star line steamers, and about 1000 miles
out from Sandy Hook. She had thus made
1000 miles in fourteen days under sail,
and her last 800 miles in seven days. At
