His Last Absent-Mindedne as.
Norwich BuIletin.t

A friend sends us the following incl
dent as having happened in a neigh
boring village: II would like to tell
you Of an incident Of absent-minded-
ness that cured a schoolmaster entirely
of this often comical mental defective
ness. The bell was ringing for school,
and the masters wife wanted a pail of
water and a hod of coal. To save time
the master strove to get both the water
and the coal at the same time. He
drew the water from an old fashioned
well, and getting his hod filed with coal
entered the house with his hands full.
He walked up to the sink and placed the
hod Of coal where the water-pail was
usually kept, and taking the pail Of
water into the sitting-room poured it
into the stove. The kissing steam blew
open the stove doors, issued from the
coal-chamber and every seam in the
stove, scorched the master. Put out the
fire aud llled the house with steam.
Amid il all issued the ~agonized shout
OF the school master: Blast ms eyesl
I've made another mistake He never
made another one. In the week that
no was done up in linen bandages and
goose grease his mind as we'll as his
body was restored 10 a healthy eondi-
ton, and now he says; Absence OF
mind is a phase of idiocy OF which a
sensible man ought to be heartily
ashamed. -"

bank rather suddenly, l think II

That the best power for a clock is

has a cooled spring as q motive power,
having, when it is tightly wound, not
less than three times the amount Of
power required to drive the clock, and
diminishing in amount, thereby altering
the rate of the clock with each success

..what is the latest thing in whipsl
asked a reporter, as he entered the office
of a well known manufacturer.
well, English holly holds its own
yet, replied the maker OF seourges.
English holly or yew, with a light
lash. For a ~gentleman's whip to go
with a dog cart this is a very neat
thing holding up 8 whip whose stock
was OF native ~Whalebone, polished and
notified, with an ebony handle and
gold mountings. That will cost
you about $50. Here's a neat
one for about twice the money.
Not so much gold on it, but the handle
is a species Of basket-work, formed with
whalebone interviewer. The highest
priced whips run up TO 800 or $f2b.
They ara sticks which nature has shaped
TO the hand, crabbit-sticks, as they are
called by tic trade This is a four-in-
hand whip, n holly stock with n sixteen
foot lash Of horse,hide. Malacea canes
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, that's
right-are used a good deal now; in
them you get length and strength with
lightness. A good whip of English
holly or yew costs about So.
Those things that you are looking at
in the case are English hunting-crooks
No man who respects himself will be
seen on horseback without one. This
loop of white kid on the end is the
keeper. When an Englishman rides to
the hounds he has a long lash attached
TO the keeper, with which he Furnishes
the hounds when necessary. As there
ARE no hounds in Broadway or in the
park, we dispense with the lash but re
tain the keeper. The hunting-crook has
altogether taken the place of the riding
whip, which is now only used by ladies.
The highest priced riding whip we have
made in sixty years OF business cost
$685."
Before going, the reporter was shown
through the factory, where were whips
in all stages Of preparation. In one
corner was a machine which, upon turn
ing the crank, moves a web more intri-
cato than that of the fates. This fur
nishes the covering for the whalebone
whips. These are formed by glueing
four pieces of wood about a long strip
Of whalebone. The whole is then worked
down to the requisite size and taper,
after which it is put through the cover
ing machine and comes out a full nedged
whip.

The timber RATS of the Rhine are n
noticeable characteristic of that river.
They consist Of timber felled in the
mountain forests and brought down to
the Rhine by the Neckar, Main, Moselle,
and other rivers. The single logs are
first hurled down from the heights into
the mountain torrent, then a few are
tied together, and ms they float down
the streamlet grow like a SNOWFALL, till
in the Rhine itself they are made into
huge floating fabrics, which are are
fully navigated to Dorhecht and sold.
A raft has often eight or ten small
houses On it, and from 400 to 500 work
men, rowers aud pilots. The vast pile
is steered by means of immense oars,
and is so constructed as to twist like 3
huge snake in the narrow channels,
The sale of a single raft at the end OF
the voyage often r~eallzes about $3.50
600.

the one published this morning from

MoREToN FREwEN ON FACT
AND FANCY.

s Our distinguished friend. Mr.. More
ton Frewon, who is still in London. feels
somewhat offended AZ the reproduction In
Tue LEADER Of April ., of a fa~cctious
paragraph which originally appeared in
the Chicago N7es. and which questioned
/. the truth Of Mr. Frewen's statement in
regard to Conrad Kohrs' herd OF Bates
Shorthorns being the largest herd in the
world As TIE LEADER was unable
to round up Kohrs' herd Of Shorthorns
which roam IN Montana, and thus verify
o Mr.. Frcwen's assertion. we concluded to
copy the paragraph and thus direct Mr..
Frewen's fire upon the Chicago news
paper man, but unfortunately We arc now
getting a share Of it.
In justice to Mr.. Frewcn, who is a
constant reader of TIE LEADER while in
Londons and thus gets the latest and most
reliable news from his stock ranges on
the Powder river and the battlefelds Of
central Asia, we publish his letter to the
London telegraph, a gnrbled extract
} from which gave the Chicago paragraph
er an apparent basis for his witticism.
