A High Singer.

The lark ascends until it looks no larger
than a midgc, and can with difficulty be
seen by the unaided eye, and yet every
note will be clearly audible to persons
who are fully half mile from the nest
over which the bird utters its song.
Moreover, it never ceases to sing for a
moment, n feat which seems wonderful
to us human beings, who find that song
of SIX or seven minutes in length, though
Intersperscd with rests and pauses, is
more than trying. Even practiced pub
lie speaker, though he can pause at the
end of each sentence, finds the applause
of the audience very welcome relief.
Moreover, the singer and speaker need to
use no exertion save exercising their
voices. Yet the bird will pour out a con-
tinuous song of nearly twenty minutes
In length, and all the time has to sup
port itself in the air by the constant use
of its wings.-The Naturalist.

We have never taken much stock in
local option laws as touching the liquor
| question. But we are always open to
conviction and convincing proof. 1t is
/ only the fool who refuses TO change his
/ opinions or to be convinced. We clip
the following frantic appeal from the
! Anti-Prohibirionist, the liquor dealers
paper published at Milwaukee. We
can hardly call it good authority on the
liquor question, but we are willing to
! give it the benefit of our doubts. If it
is good authority in this case, we stand
ready TO wave our objections to local
option bills; to try this new bill now
before the legislature, and to say in all
eaTnestnesS, amen to the petition of
the i-Prohibitionist, which causes
us to behold this great problem in its
true light. Let the bill pass. This is
the agonizing cry of the evidently tor
tlwcd spirit which presides oyer the ed
itorial columns of the Anti Pr hibi-
ZIONIST:
\ special local option bill for your
county has been introduced into the as
sembly; it has been read first and
second times and referred TO your
county delegation. AS yet we have
heard of no concerted acti II on your
part against this bill, and unless you
rouse yourselves at once to oppose it,
it Will surely become Il law. The Pro
hibito on SIS are making every effort to
procure a sentiment III favor of this
bill among your representatives. and
unless you rise as one man to protest
against any and all infringements up
on your rights, You will have no cause
to complain if these rights are rested
from you by local option, followed by
a prohibitory law. The time for you
10 act is now; prevent this bill from
becoming a law for just as sure as you
permit it to go to vote of the people,
just 50 sure will Prohibitionists be
victorious; their ways are wonderful
when it comes to voting on prohibit
tioa amendment and they have often
been known to gain victory in
localities where they were supposed to
be in the minority. If therefore you
wish to keep you county out of the
clutches of these usurpers of right and
liberty, you will have to go to work at
once. Direct your full energy and en-
thusiasm towards convincing your re-
representatives. in senate and assembly
that the people of your county do not
want local option. Show your oppon-

Work OF t.se Eifi;eis, Congress.

The first session of the congress that
has just closed was the longest in our
history. Ii began the first Monday III
December, 1857, and was in session

Journed then, pending the presidential
election. The second, or short session.
began the first Monday il December,
1883, and expired by limitation March
4, 1889.
Much time was spent during both
sessions over the tariff. First the
house passed the Mills bill, reducing
the revenues about $4,000, 900. The
bin then went to the senat-. In the
senate all If ii was stricken out after
the enacting clause and another b.ll
substituted.
There were introduced into the
house during the congress just expired
17050 bills, resolutions and reports in
to the senate G,852. OF all this number
1,79l became laws.
Most of the acts are Of local inter
est. OF those which have a general
importance the principal ones are the
law admitting four now states to the
Union and that making the commits

others are the granting Of the Nicara-
qua canal charter, the act authorizing
government to condemn sites for public
buildings, reduced the price OF pass
ports flom$5 to 81, restricting Chinese
immigration ana raising the age of
consent in the District of Columbia
to 10 years.
An act from which important
favorable results for the United States
may flow was that authorizing the
presideatto arrange a conference with
the South ana Central American re

The Prince of Cooiayio.

We are told Of McDcrmot, known as
thu Prince of Coolavin, who belonged to
one of the principal Connaught families.
that his income in 177G barely amounted
to 600 q year, yet he never suffered his
children to sit down in his presence.
Lady Morgan adds that his daughter-in-
law alone was permitted to eat at his
table; even his wife was not accorded this
privilege, as, though well born, she was
not of royal blood. When Lord Kings

Rig Loads and White Lies.

Mississippi Lumberman.
In the pineries at Finlayson, Wis,
Hurley Mason, hauled 10000 feet of
logs on a single load with four horse
team At the same time and place
Peter Grant hauled load containing
IO,7S0 feet. The teams were hauling
for Snow & Seayey. Some idea of the
size of these loads may be obtained
from the fact that either load was
more than twice the number Of feet
than can be carried on an ordinary
fiat car.
Geo. A. Tweedie, scaler, writing
from Nett River, Mich, to Men
ominee paper says: At *. c. Co. S
camp No 26, of which Louis Porter
is foreman on the 14th inst, Horace
Crow, ON sled with eight feet hunks,
over a two mile road, hauled with one
pair of horses weighing 1900 pounds,
ten logs scaling 8 800 feet. We think
it this camp that this is the boss load
of the season.

a load of fourteen logs hauled by one
team belonging to the Wisconsin Val
ley Lumber company, at Harrison,
measured 6,l40 feet. There were
twelve logs sixteen feet long and two
fourteen feet. The load could have
been made higher, but the telegraph
wire was not high enough to permit
the teamSter TO pass under it where
the logging road crosses the railroad
track.
AT William Bis5ee, S camp on New
Wood, near Merrill, Wis, on Saturday
February %, a load of logs which
scaled $3.50, was drawn three miles to
the landing by one span of horses. The
load contained nine logs and the boys
feel badly now because they did not
put on top log. a photographer made
a negative of the load at camp, another
at the landing. He took orders for
ninety copies of the pictures at the
camp, and quite number since.

A HIalrrap's INGENUITY.

John B. Leoui, young sculptor,
whose parents are supposed to reside in
Jersey City, who for some time has been
an inmate Of an asylum, escaped from
his keepers some time ago and wandered
to Burlington, N. j.. where lively in
tercst was taken in him. He was found
roaming aimlessly around the streets,
and, pending the result of inquiries as
to his identity, was placed in the city
jail.
Shortly after his incarceration Leoni
obtained possession of a piece of soap
and proceeded to astonish the jailcrs
With his finger nails he dexterously be-
gan carving the soap and gradually it
assumed human shape. When through
his labor Leoni had produced model of
an Alpine huntsman. The figure, which
is now in possession Of Mayor Silpath, is
| about seven inches in height. The right
arm is outstretched, the hand encircling
tho neck of q duck, which is as care
fully reproduced as the figure of the
hunter. The left land hangs By the
side, holding shotgun. At the feet Of
the hunter lies the figure of retriever,
wistfully gazing ct the game his master
holds aloft.

city who is an engraver.-New York

Here is one way: Make mush of

pepper in each two quarts of the water.
Let it cook for a hour and feed hot.
Boiled apple skin seasoned with red
pepper, or boiled potatoes seasoned

The Defaultcrs Alarmed

State Journal
The introduction of bill in the Ca
madam parliament, last week, to pro-
vide for the return to the United
States of all criminals mentioned in
the schedule to the bill, has very
naturally struck terror and alarm in
the minds of a large class of boodlers
and defaulters who have taken refuge
within the hoSpitable precincts of Can
adam cities. The bill was introduced
by Professor w eldon, and is SAID to be
very thorough and sweeping in its
provisions. 1t would secure the return,
upon the requisition of any state ex-
ecutive, of that large class of emigrants
from the states who paid their fare to
the defaUlters' retreat out of other
peoples funds. On hearing of these
proceedings, one Emo, who is one of
the leading hoodlers residing in Que
bee, bGtCOk himself to Ottawa, the
seat OF government, to investigate the
chances Of the passage of the bill, and
he learned that they were good. This
led to Il hurried conference with de-
faul1ers at Montreal, resulting in a
resolution to proceed at once and raise
funds for the purpose of defeating the
bill. 1trequired but little reasoning to
show the fugitives the way in which
this bill threatened their liberty, and
how, if passed, their deliverance to the
custody of United States officers would

capped justice by fight across the Allan

Secret Hiding Places.

One OF the most interesting features Of
our country houses Is the secret hiding
place. isgenerally has been contriyed
with much architectural skill, and in
days gone 10y balIled discovery from the
most observant and experienced eye. In
certain cases it would appear that, for
some reason or other, the hiding place
has been specially kept q secret among
members Of the family. Thus, in the
north Of England, may be mentioned
Nethcrhal, near MaryPort, Cumberland,
the seat Of the old family CT Senhousc.
In this time ho1orcd mansion there is
said to be araal secret chamber, its exact
position being only known TO two persons
the heir-in-law and the family solicitor.
According to the popular tradition the
secret Of the hidden room has never been
revealed to more than two living persons
at time! This mysterious room has no
window, and, despite every endeavor to
discover it, has, it is said, deiied the in
genuity Of every visitor staying in the
house. With this secret chamber may
be compared the one at Glamis, the lat
ter possessing a window, but which has
not led to the Identification of the mys-
teriouS room.-Liverpool Courier.

CLOTH MADE FROM WOOD.
Method of Reducing the Boards to a Stat
Il LIZ. i.

| Method OF Reducing the Boards to n State
of Isolated Fibers.
Mitscherlich has applied the Disulphite
process for reducing wood to the pro-
duction of f:har from wood which car
oe spun.
Thin boards or laths free from knots.
but of any desired width, are cut into
strips in the direction parallel with the
grain, and are then boiled in a boiler con-
tanning a solution of sulphurous acid or
bisulphite. This boiling effects disinte-
grafton without requiring that the strips
of boards shall be reduced to very small
pieces. After boiling the wood. it is
dried in the open air or in specially con-
structed drying rooms BY thus drying
the product, the fiber, which is originally
very weak and tends to break at the
slightest strain, becomes comparatively
strong and does not resume its verv
breakable condition on the addition of
water. The operations are carried our as
follows:
The damp masses on the frame IRE
transferred to travelling endless cloth,
which leads them to n pair of rollers.
which may be plain or provided with
corrugations in the direction of Their
| length, tho ribs of the one roller be-
ing made to gear into the le-
cesses of the other one, WHERE
by they effect a simultaneous strorp
bending and squeezing of the masses.
! The cutting of the material In passing
through the corrugated rollers S
avoided by causing the endless CLOTH
to pass over the lower roller and
| by placing a canvas covering around
the upper roller. The pressed masses
fall from these rollers on to a second
endless cloth, which conveys them
to a second pair of rollers, from which
they are conveyed to a third pair, and so
on, they being preferably pressed in this
way six times BY continued treat
ment of the wood the fibers become at
length so pliable and isolated from each
other that they can be employed directly
for coarse flaments
For obtaining perfect isolation of the
fbers, however, without material de-
terioration, these operations alone are
not suitable. and their special purpose is
to loosen the fibers in the transverse di-
rection, SO that in the following opera
ton thin, long fiber may be obtained.
For this purpose the boiled and pressed
masses are completely dried. After dry
ing they are combed in the direction
parallel with the fibers by means of de-
vices provided with pins or teeth, i'll
manner similar to the operations for
combinS flax, cotton, etc, but with the
difference that the pins or teeth of the
apparatus must be made very strong.
The separation of the extractable matter
from the fiber produced by boiling the
gums and soluble organic matter can be
effected at any time. 1t is, however,
preferably effected after the fiber has
been spun into threads, etc.-Scientilic
