ANIMALS IN THE EARTHQUAKE.-The en-
CINE horses of Charleston escaped and ran
in wild alright, snorting and neighing, to
the terror of all they passed. In the coun-
try the horses neighed out their distress,
and the COWS beloved piteously. Animals
that were stabbed tried 10 break away, and
failing to do so trembled and shivered in
an agony of fear Those that were at large
fed to the woods, and sought to hide them
selves from the mysterious danger in
thickets and swamps. Half an hour after
the frightful shock, savage looking, but
completely scared mastif approached re-
porter in the city, and licked his shoes, in
mute appeal for help. Then the poor
creature moved off and stopped, whining
at everybo and seeking admission on his
terror-stricken way. 1t is alleged that at
st. Johns Island at an early hour in the af-
ternoon the sheep came hurriedly in from
the fields, lay down in circle, and filed
the air with their means. And that the
chickens went to roost long before dark,
and cackled for some time before the shock.

New PRINCIPLE IN STEAM EXGIXE.-An
iowa young man has, SO says an exchange,
invented change in the construction of
the steam engine which may lead to Won
derful things. He dispenses with the
steam chest and the governor-balls that
have for so long been regarded as indis-
pensable to every engine, whether we'll
regulated or otherwise. In place of the
latter he employs pendulum, which per-
mits the outflow of steam at an unvarying
speed, but the slightest increase in velocity
in the engine lessons the time that the
steam has to escape into the cylinder. The
apparatus thus effects an instantaneous
check upon its own irregularities, which is
comparatively slow when the governor is
used, and it has the additional advantage
of using less steam, while it largely simpli-
fies the working gear. trial engine was
constructed recently, and works to a charm.
1t was taken down for shipment to Mime
apolis, where it will be practically tested at
real work. If it succeeds as well as it now
promises to do, it will probably be the first
of many thousands of engines built on the
new plan.-Americdn Engineer.

LADIES DoFFTsG BoSSETs At THEATEIs.-
l have noticed at the theater this week.
with TO slight emotions of joy, that some
ladies have taken TO checking their bonnets
and hats at the cloak-room and sitting
without them through the play-not ladies
in full-dress either, but ladies in the ordi-
nary garb of the feminine American citizen.
It is needless to say that a woman looks
much more beautiful at the play without a
bonnet than she does with one, and that
the play looks very much more beautiful to
the people behind her. am told, on pretty
good authority that this custom is going to
grow until hats are no more worn by women
in theaters than by men. Although there
can be no question what is essentially the
right thing in this matter, wish | might
provoke controversy about it, because It
would have TO be settled somehow, and
nothing is ever settled until it is settled
right.-BoStoEl Post.

Decorated WITH A LIVE BUG.-0ne OF
the most notable guests who spent the
summer here, and who Just departed, was
q blonde lady from New Orleans. who was
consnicuous at the hops for her diamonds,
her skyterrier with Il gold collar. and a
black Machette beetle with gold harness
and chain. She was originally guest at
one of the fashionable downtown hotels,
but she persisted in having the ugly beetle
crawling around her at the table, and the
more fastidous guests broke out in open
revolt and threatened the management
with abdication. She retired to cottage
and spent her evenings as a lonely specta-
tor at the hops of the uptown hotels.
She would gather around her crowd
of curious folks, who would gaze with adj
rniration at her wonderful Brazilian beetle
chained to her bosom. The terrier was her
only companion. Her purse was always
well filled. her diamonds measured always
a peck, but she suggested mystery with all
her wealth or Appearances of wealth.-At-

ON THE RIVER.

Where wind and water meeting made
A tremor in the hues that fade
Between the shutdown and nights shade
We fioated on adown the river
Not Death himself our souls might sever,
We felt we should so float forever.
And passion slept, secure from waking,
Our hearts forgot their ancient aching,
Our spirits so the past foTsaking
We knew that delicate hour and golden,
Delight was ours, and memory olden,
In poppy sleep was fast unfolden.
The tapping wave no boisterous billow,
Behind US swept past reed and willow,
Love for our guide and peace our pillow.
What joy TO see the coy moon peeping
Ger dreaming hills and woodlands sleeping
Ever her faithful vigil keeping.
o then for US do phantom morrow,
Full-fraught with old prophetic sorrow,
Might tease our souls TO yainly borrow
The futures largess in that hour,
Whose wealth OF unimsgined dover
Sufiiced for life, come sun, come shower.

Far up on the nights of honor,
Her banner has never led;

The little red COW is patient,
She never will fret or moan
Because of the bare, bleak pastures
When summers warm days have flown.
She knows that the rain and sunshine
Alike in our lives are shed;
She looks for a better future,
This trim little COW in red.
A modest and patient woman
Who cares not when glory calls,
Can build an annex TO heaven
Inside of four roughened walls,
When many stately lady,
Who begs for the world renown,

Her happiness trampled down.
And thus does the little Devon,

rings the college bell. though not one stu

the charter is not forfeited. The institution
was in 1896 the hot-bed of secession. The
first demonstration was there made to
iamiliarize the public mind with the idea
of dissolution Of the National Union. The
first periodical in advocacy Of this idea was

This effort to stir up sectional strife proved

railroads that both connect with steamboats,
that run from the Sacramento and San Joaquin

my friend drew me up into the shadow Of

further explanation of course, and it came
after my friend had observed that his start

ticed that it was pretty strong, and laid it

struck me that something was neeied in
the bottom of the pipe TO absorb the oil of
the tobacco, and without any idea of its
worth l tried pinch Of salt. Well, sir as
sure as N a Christian, that salt proved to

Back window sills are made more at
tractive if painted soft green or red and
filled with some plant. An oblong box OF
live-forever or Creeping Charlie will grow
luxuriantly and require but little care.
Lard may be made perfectly sweet by
boiling pared potato in it.
In finding places for kitchen utensils
study every time to place them where it
will take the least walking to reach them.
To clean porcelain kettle, fill half full
of hot water and put in tablespoonful OF
powdered borax; let it boil. II this doesn't
remove all the stains, scour with cloth
rubbed with soap and borax.
Insomnia has been cured by bandaging
one of the legs at the knee with layers OF
wet calico and covering these with sheet
of waterproof cloth. The vessels of the
leg were dilated and the amount of blood
in the head diminished, and sleep followed.
To keep insects out of bird cages, tie up
little sulphur in a bag and suspend 1t
in q cage. Red ants will never be found in
closet or drawer if small bag of sulphur
be kept there.
Small umbrellas are effective for shades
on lamps and gas chandeliers. Those OF
