Mr.. TorreysOn'S New Cart.

The Carson Appeal tells of a novel
invention: Mr.. Iorreyson, the black
smith of Carson, New, is noted for his
Kindness toward animals. He has just
built road cart, now on exhibition at
his blacksmith shop, which Is destined
to revoIutionize travelling 10y road, and
to materially Tighten the labors of that
noble animal, the horse.
The idea Is TO occasionally give the
horse a chanc3 70 ride i'll the cart as well
Us the driver. The idea was first sug-
gested to Mr.. Torreyson by seeing a
turtle moving along the road carrying
his shell with him.
The Vt hicle made by Mr.. Torreyson
has four high wheels and the place be-
tween them arched, so that the horse is
hitched under the wagon between the
wheels, his head projecting a little be-
yond the front wheels, and his tail
barely clearing the hind wheels. The
driver sits just over the horses neck
and the others in the wagon face out
ward on each side.
The horse is so fastened that the pull
ing is distributed over his body. and
does not all come on ms neck and Shout
ders. In this position he is greatly pro-
tected from the sun and storm, and
thereby enabled to make long journeys
with less fatigue.
But the principal part of the inven-
ton lies in belly band about four feet
wide passing under the horse. When
you reach the top of long hill, down
which horse would have to go SLOWLY
as he held back the load, you simply
turn a crank and it lifts the horse off his
feet several inches from the ground: the
vehicle then runs down the hill of its
own momentum.
1t is provided with steering ap-
paratus and brake, that the vehicle
may be stoered and its velocity regu-
lated.
Several times during the day the tired
horse has chance to ride, and is very
much rested. Also wien the horse ot-
tempts to run away you wind up the
crank and he is lifted off the ground per-
f, city helpless. All the dust raised bv
the animal goes out behind the wagon
and does not reach the driver.

SplinteSs of boards, torn by shot and
shell from the fences we had crossed,
served as headstones, each name hur-
riedIy carved under brief match lights,
anxiously hidden from the foe. It was
a strange scene around that silent and
shadowy sepUlture. ''Ne will give
them starlight burial" it was said;
but heaven ordained more sublime il
Elimination. As we bore them in dark
and sad procession, their own loved
North took up the escort, and, lifting all
her glorious lights. led the triumphal
march over the bridge that srans the
worlds-an aurora borealis of marvellous
majesty ! Fiery lances and banners of
blood aud flame, columns of pearly
light, garlands and wfeaths of gold, all
pointing upward and reckoning on.
Who would not pass on as they did, dead
for their country's life, and lighted to
burial by the meteor sp.endors of
their native sky ?

ABOVE THEIR FATHERS.
A Rank Wanted by the Soldiers of the Bet
ter Glass.

s'When I was Secretary of the Navy"
says Robson, "and Grant was Presi-
dent, some hundreds OF the sailors of the
better class came to me and asked to
have some rank given them. They did
not care for an increase Of pay, they SAID
but they wanted relative rank.
II couldn't do anything for them. but
they came several times, and We're rath-

Wooden Craft Built without Nails.

OF the mechanical arts known to the
people of Polynesia the most important
was the construction of canoes. Some
of these were more than 100 feet in
length, and would carry two or three
hundred men. Sometimes they were
propelled by oars or sails. The latter
we're three-cornered mats, suspended
between two masts, one in each ship.
The smaller craft usually had an outrig-
ger on one or both sides to prevent up
setting. When we consider that the
only tools used were made of stone or
shell, we can see that it must have been
the work of years to construct one of
the larger canoes. One must not think
of the parts q fastened with bolts or
nails. The keels were trunks of ltrees
followed with the stone adze or fire; to
these were attached planks trimmed to
fit closely, and bound with cords of
cocoauut fiber. They were made water
tight with filing of gum mixed with
the same fiber finely divided. These SEEM
ingly frail craft were yet so seaworthy
that they outrode severe storms, and
endured voyages Of hun dreds of miles
with entire safety.

Ferrcts Come High.
REASONS WHY THE MORTAL FOES OF RATS
ARE raider EXPENSIVE.

A correspondent of the N. Y. SIN
writes to ask where he can buy pair Of
fcrrets, and what they will cost. Ferrets
can be purchased at most bird fancier's
stores, but are expensive.
Il can sell good pair of trained fer
rets for $l5." said young man in a bird
store. We have large demand for
them. The best breeds of ferIets are the
white kind, the fitch ferret, which is a
cross between the North European fitch
and the African ferret, and the American
mink ferret, a cross between the former
American mink and the fitch ferret. ANY
ii these will clear a house of rats in a
very short time.
They don't wait outside the hole as
the cat or dog must do. They go right
inside, catch the rat, kill him and eat mp
every bit of him. Nothing is left to tell
the tale. Their work is far cleaner than
that of poison. The ferret's body is so
flexible that it can glide easily into the
smallest rat hole. The largest rat has
not particle of chance with it. Indeed,
the rat knows the moment it sees the
ferret that it's doom is sealed and makes
little resistance.
"A ferret is ms domestic an animal as
cat, ana makes very nice and affection
ate pet. AS long as any rats remain in
the house its owner need give it no food.
1t will supply itself with abundance, and
no fears need be entertained that it will
run away. Ferrets are not great breed
ers and are very hard to raise to full
growth; and, for these reasons, they are
expensive. When mature, however. they
are hardy and healthy. There is a great
demand for them among the proprietors
Of large stores, where rats that would do
an enormous damage meet in them a re-
lentless and untiring enemy.
"Ferrets are not so high as a large
rat, and big sewer rat would outweigh
two Of them. But they are longer, from
the tip of the nose to the tip of the tai,
than any rat that ever lived. They move
with a snake-like action, not fast, but
with some grace. Their eyes are large,
and, i'll expression, something like those
Of seal. mild and affectionate."

The Peril of Smuggling Liquor.

Liquor smuggling along the coast of
Maize in winter is sometimes attended
with great peril. The most costly
liquors consumed in the State are
brought by water, there being great
danger from seizure if sent by rail, no
matter how good the disguise. Two
men engaged in the contraband traffic
with small yacht, IN which they bring
liquor from Boston, arrived at Portland
after terrible experience. Said one
of them:
owe don't generally care to risk

but a Boston man who has paid us a
great deal of money came to me on Fri
day, and said he must fill Portland
order right away. He offered me and

It was the most valuable cargo we ever
took, nil high-priced goods. We took
as much rs we could carry, our cabin
even being taken up with the goods, SO

We took but little provisions, calculat-

some provisions, and set us right in our

but had to lay off, as we didn't dare to
come in during the day. It would have
been too hard TO have suffered so much
and then lost our cargo and $l00."
