An Indians Cunning Ruse

In the town of New Boston, N. H., there
is u hill called Joe EnglIsh," which receiv-
ed its name from circumstance connected
with noted Indian friendly to the whites.
This hill is precipitous and abrupt on its
southern end, having an appearance as if the
southern end had been carried away by some
convulsion of nature.
In 1905 or 1906 there wins an Indian living
in those parts, notedfor his friendship for the
English settlers upon the lower Merrimac.
He was an accomplished warrior and hunter.
From his friendship to his white neighbors,
the Indians, according to their want, gave
him the name, significant of this trait, of "Joe
English"
In the course o! time the Indians, Satisfied
that Joe gave Information Of their hostile
designs 10 the English, determined ON killing
him at the first opportunity. 1t happened
one day just at twilight, that two or three of
them came upon Joe as he was returning from
hunt and began an attack upon him; but
he escaped from them, and made directly for
this hill in the southern part of New Boston.
With the quick thought of an Indian he
made up his mind that the chances were
against him in long race, and that he must
have recourse to stratagem. AS he ran up
the hill he sackened his pace, until his pur-
suers were almost upon him, that they might
become more eager in the pursuit.
Once near the top he started off with great
rapidity, and the Indians after him straining
every nerve.
As Joe came upon the brink of the preci-
pice before mentioned, he leaped behind Il
jutting rock, and waited in breathess ankle
ty.
A moment later he heard the hard breath
ing and light running footsteps of his pur-

How to Prove That the Earth Turns.

1t has puzzled the heads of a good many
youngsters to know how the earth turns
around. A German educational journal pub
lished in Frankfort gives the following di
rections for proving that the earth "does
move:"
Take good sized bowl, fill it nearly full
of water, and place it upon the floor of a
room which is not exposed to shaking or Jar
ring from the street. Sprinkle over the sur
face of the water coating of lycopodium
powder, white substance which is some
times used for the purposes of the toilet, and
which can be obtained at almost am apothe-
cary's. Then upon the surface of this coat
ing of powder make, with powdered charcoal,
straight black line, cay an inch or two in
length. Having made this little black mark
with the charcoal powder on the surface of
the contents of the bowl, lay down upon the
floor, close to the bowl, stick or some other
straight object, so that it will be exactly
parallel with the mark. If the line happens
to be parallel with crack in the floor, or
with any stationary object in the room, this
will serve as well.
Leave the bowl undsturbed for few
hours, and then observe the position of the
black mark with reference to the object that
it was parallel with 1t will be found to have
moved about, and TO have moved from east
to west, that is TO say, in the direction op-
posite to that of the movement of the earth on
its axis. The earth in simply revolving has
carried the water and everything else In the
bowl around with it, but the powder on the
surface has been left behind little The line
will always be found to have moved from east
to west, which is perfectly good proof that
everything else has moved the other way"

BOYS Who Succeed.

OF two boys with the same advantages and
equally good training, one will succeed in
life, while tue other, without being bad,
never amounts to anything" as the saying
goes. Perhaps the following annecdote will
explain something of the disparity in results
A nurseryman left home for u few days ON
business "trip. 1t was rainy weather, and
not season for sales, but customer did ar
rive from distance, tied up his horse, and
went into the kitchen, where two boys were
cracking nuts.
rs Mr.. Barnes at homer he asked.
"No, said Joe, the eldest, hammering at n
nut.
When will he he back 7"
Dunno. Mehbe not for week"
The youngest boy, jim, promptly jumped
up and followed the Hri atcd stranger out of
doors.
"The men are not here, "he said, in bright
and courteous manner, "but ! can show you
the stock"
The stranger was concilated, and followed
Jim through the nursery, examining the trees,
and left his order.
You have sold the largest bill of the sea-
son, Jim" said his father, greatly pleased, on
his return.
A few years afterward, these two boys
were left by their fathers death with but
three hundred dollars apiece. Joe bought an
acre or two near home, and, although he
worked hard, he is still poor, discontinued
man.
jim bought Nh emigranls ticket to Colora-
do, hired out as II cattle-lriver for couple of
years, and with his wages bought land at
$l.25 an acre, built himself house, and mar
ried. To-Day his herds are numbered by the
thousand, his land has BEEN cut up in town
lots and he is one OF the wealthy men Of the
Centennial State.
81 might have done like Jim,' said Joe,
resenIfully, "if I'd only thought in time.
There's as good stuff in me rs him."
joe was right. He had the sane stuff in
him, but it was not developed. The quick,
widt-awake energy which causes Il boy TO
act promptly and boldly in All emergency is
partly natural, but it can I've incul Heated by
parents, and il IS worth more than any gift
of nature.

The Original Robinson Crusoe. -

We are all familiar with the statement that
Daniel De Foe founded his immortal story
of Robinson Crusoe" on the real adventures
Of Alexander Selkirk, but "Notes and
Queries" gives an account of work, by a
German author, which De Foe may have
copied.
This German writer, Grimmelshausen, fifty
years before Robinson Crusoe" was written,
and nearly as long before the story of Sell
kirk was made public, published "The Adj
ventures of Simplcus Simplscimus," and
the condolences are interesting.
Simplcius is wrecked on an uninhabited
island in the tropics, rich in vegetation, with
warm climate and periodical rainy season.
He builds himself house, and he has cave
to retire into. He makes clothes for himself
of skins, and lie keeps a register of time by
cutting nOtches on stick. He experiences
an earthquake, and he also moralizes on the
uselessness of some money which he finds.
The island is visited by savages in boats, and
also by II ship, the captain of which offers to
take Simplicius away.
This is certainly striking parallel, and
suggests that De Foe did not draw on his
own Imagination so much as the world has
heretofore given him credit for And it also
proves that Simplicius, and not Selkirk, was
the original CIusoe.

When the first electric wire was estab-

for newspaper messages was seventeen words

telegraph, where the Wheatstone instrument
is employed, reaches 462 words and thus
what was regarded as miraculous fifty years
ago has multiplied Il hundred fold in half
century.

A Lesson From the Wasps.

An English gentleman lately took a small
wasp's nest, about the size of an APPLE and,
after supplying its inmates, placed 1t in
large case inside of his house, leaving an
opening for egress through the wall Here
the nest was enlarged to foot in diameter,
holding thousands of wasps. Here he was
able to watch their movements. and noted
one new fact-namely, their systematic atten-
ton to ventilation. In hot weather. from
four to six wasps were continually stationed
at the hole of egress, and, while leaving space
for entrance or exit, created a steady current
their wings. After loug course of this Wig
orous exercise, the ventllators were relieved
by other wasps. During cool weather only
two wasps at time were usually thus en-
gagged.

Pnetiral.
ONE BY ONE.

One by one the sands are flowing,
One by ore the moments fall;
Some are coming. some are going,
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each;
Let no future dreams elate thee;
Learn thou first what these can teach
One by one bright gifts from heaven
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready, too, TO let them 20.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee:
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade as others greet thee
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life's long sorrow:
See how small each moments pain;
God will help thee for tomorrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that moves so slowly
Has its task TO do or bear;
Luminous the crown and holy,
If thou set each gem with Gaze
Do not linger with regrettinR.
Nor for passing hours despond:
Nor the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links. Gods token.
Reaching heavenward-one by one,
Take them, lest the chain be broken,
Ere thy pilgrimage be won.
