The common sentiment of tlipairectOrs of the

Central Pacific and the Union Pacific Railroads were
Joined the contract and because the spirit agree

WILD ANIMALS IN WINTER.

One of natures most important
methods of preserving animal life is by
Information. The lower animals, as in.
sects and some reptiles, become to all
appearance entirely dormant, live with
ont essential change during the cold
winter, and wake to active life only
when food is again ready for them.
Others, like the wood-chuck. after grow
ing fat on the abundant food of autumn,
roll themselves up in a nest and sleep.
Vital action is lowered, they consume
but little oxygen, and live upon the
stores of fat with which they went into
winter quarters. The black bear gen.
orally hibernates in caves and under old
tree tops, but he is never 80 sleepy that
he is not ready for battle if disturbed |;
and farther south, he does not hibernate
at all. In New England he grows fat
ON green corn, roots and nuts in the fall,
and SO he has had the credit OF growing
fat by Sucking his paws This old
notion is only an illustration of theories
in mechanic life that something can come
of nothing. The truth about the bear is
that he grows thin every day he lies in
his den.
The third general method of presery-
ing the species through winter is by mi
grafton, us best seen among birds, but
practiced also by some OF the higher
manuals.
As the autumn advances, many OF the
smaller birds from our midst and from
the far north quietly make their way
south, % find warmer weather and new
stores OF food for the winter months.
Others assemble in hocks, and seem to
have grave consultations over the pro-

Struck Dumb While Swearing.

The people of Lee township, about
seventy-fve miles north of Louisville,
in Brown county, Ind, are in state
of excitement over the case of james
Lyman, who was instantly deprived OF
all sensation about December lst.
Lyman recently moved into Lee town
ship. His family consists of a son
and two daughters. In early years he
was seaman, and although he tells
but little of his past history it is be-
lieved from relics and other souvenirs
which he has in his possession, that
his adventures on the ocean would
make volume of romance. 1t is
said of him that when eleven years of
age he ran away from his home in
Boston and determined to adopt a
sailors life. He concealed himself in
the hold of a ship about to weigh
anchor and was carried off to sea on
board vessel. Lyman soon learned
to swear. As his years increased his
profanity became more voluble. His
ship touched many foreign shores, and
by frequent associations with the ma
tives he gradually acquired their man
ner of speech, and in time became the
master of four different languages In
all of these he was an adept at swear
ing.
Tine slightest trife met with vol
; ley of oaths and the air would he per

within earshot while curses and imprr-
cations rolled with mighty vehemenco
from his tongue. One day while sup
erintending force of hands in making

man into an excess of passion. WORDS
more hlasphemous than ever before Mt
tered rolled from his fluent tongue,
while he danced about in perfect par
oxysm. Suddenly the impious declara.
tions ceased. Lyman fell face down
ward to the ground and was unable 10
move a muscle. A genuine thunder
bolt or a bullet through the heart could
not have paralyzed his senses quicker,
Sight was destroyed, spe ch gone and
motion impossible. After thirty min
utes prostration he recovered slightly,
but was unable TO regain his lost
speech His eyes were also dimmed,
On the arms of two strong laborers he
was borne TO his house, where he has
since been resting in half conscious
condition.

FIND NEW NAMES.

In some old-fashioned families the
practice still prevails of retaining the
same set of Christian names from gener.
alton to generation, with the natural re-
suit that each member of one Of these
families is constantly subjected to the
inconvenience of being mistaken for his
father or his cousin. In the giving OF
names. considerations of sentiment
ought always to give way to those of
convenience. 1t is satisfactory to oh.
serve that the very commonest of our
Christian names are fast losing their
excessive popularity, and that the GUS
tom of giving double names and that of
using surnames as Christian names are
decidedly becoming more general.
These useful innovations are especially
to be recommended to the Smiths, the
Browns, the Joneses, and all other pos
SCISSORS of excessively common surnames.
We may reasonably hope that, in gen.
Grafton or two, there may be no longer
any plain John Smiths to lament the
inconvenience Of bearing a name which
is practically "no name at ALL" Although
as O rule it is well to avoid anything
very eccentric or unusual in the choice
of O Christian name, it may fairly be
allowed that those families which have
extremely common surnames are en-
titled to a dispensation from the gen.
eral law.

Mr.. Jefferson's First Inauguration.

AT an early hour on Wednesday,
March 4, 1901, the city of Washington
presented spectacle of uncommon ami
nation, occasoned by the addition to
its usual population of large body Of
citizens from the adjacent districts. A
discharge from the company of Wash
ington artillery ushered in the day, and
about ~ o'clock the Alexandra com
pany of rifemen, with the company of
artillery, paraded in front of the Presi-
dents lodgings. AT IL o'clock Thomas
Jefferson, attended by number of his
fellow citizens, among whom were
many members of Congress, repaired
to the Capitol. His dress was, os usual,
that of plain citizen, without any
distinctive badge of office. He entered
the Capitol under discharge of artil-
lery. On his entry into the Senate
chamber, where were assembled the
Senate and the members of the House
of Representatives, the members rose,
and Mr.. Burr left the chair of the Sen
ate, which Mr.. Jefferson took. Afler
few moments of silence Mr.. Jefferson
rose ard delivered his address before
the largest concourse of citizens ever
assembled there Having seated him.
self for short period, he again arose,
and approached the Clerks table, where
the oath was administered by the Chief
Justice after which he returned to his
lodgings, accompanied by the Vice
President, the Chief Justice and the
heads or departments, where he was
waited upon by number Of distin-
guished citizens AS soon as he with
drew discharge of artillery was made.
The remainder Of the day was devoted
to purposes of festivity, and at night
there was arret'y general illnmina
tion.
