MISCELLANE

There IS o township IN SunHer
county, Kan. in which crime against
the laws of the State has not been re-
corded in sixteen years.
There is a cat in Melville, n. j.,
that for sixteen years has lived around
the docks, and that will jump overheard
and swim like water spaniel.
There is an admirable arrangement
for quickly and safely emptying the
house in use in the fremont Theater,
Boston. By simply touching q button
in any one of eight handy places in the
theatre, seven exits open, actuated by
electricity.
The food of a 200" hippopotamus
is estimated to be about two hundred
pounds a day in weight, and consists
chiefly of hay, grass and roots. The
daily provender of giraffe weighs
about fifty pounds. The lions and tigers
obtain eight or nine pounds day.
One of the curiosities of Washing
ton, the new State, is Medical Lake,
not far from Spokane Falls. A proper
ty of its water is that it FORMS lather
whenever it is agitated violently or
rubbed quickly on the hands or the
surface of the body. No fish CT other
living thing has been found in these
waters, and the lake itself is rather re-
pulsive and muddy in appearance.
England obtains a certain proper.
ton of its supplies of ivory from Asia.
but the bulk and the best comes FROM
Africa. Indeed a great part of what is
nominally East Indian is really African,
for it is sent from Zanzibar and Mozam-
bique to Bombay, and such parts as are
not required for bangles and carved
work are shipped to England.
A metal that will melt at such low
temperature as $50 degrees is certainly
curiosity, but Syracuse IN. Y man
has succeeded in producing it. 1t is an
alloy composed of lead, tin, bismuth and
cadmium, and in weight, hardness and
color resembles typemetal. So easily
does it melt that if you place it on a
comparatively cool part of the stove
with piece of paper under it it will
melt without the paper being scorched.
"A foreign exchange gives the fol-
lowing bit of milling history in this
country: Much of the flour made in
Ohio before 1910 was sent West. In 1886
Oliver Newberry purchased 500 barrels
at IS barrel and took it to Chicago,
then a struggling frontier village, and
sold it at $50 per barrel, citizens holding
a public meeting and thanking him for
not asking $50. 1t was all the -four the
people of Chicago had for the winter"
There is man living in Salt Lake
City, one of the old settlers, who when
quite young married an Indian woman.
Years went by, and he amassed large
fortune and lived in an elegant house,
surrounded by every luxury. One day
an acquaintance, who had imbibed
something of the morals Of the place,
said to him: "Why don't you got a
young and pretty wife, who will suit
your beautiful home? You might give
that old squaw enough to live upon in a
quiet way. As it is, she's perfect mill
stone about your neck" With blazing
eyes he turned upon him, saying: THAT
odd squaw,' as you call her, helped to
make every cent of money have to-
day, and so long as we live we share our
fortune observation-disclosures Journal.

FEAST FOR a SOUL,
The Beauty of Champlain When Its Dis
cOverer First Looked Upon 1t.

cOverer First Looked Upon 1t.
1t was the Sd of July, 1909, when
Champlain first gazed upon the lake
which subsequently bore his name, and
which to-day is the sole monument
that perpetuates his fame. We do not
know certainly the exact hour, but it
was early in the morning when the
canoe which bore him glided out from
between the overhanging naples and
cedars which lined either bank of the
Richelieu, and entered the broader
waters of the lake, writes w. II. H.
Murray in Lake Champlain and Its
Shores" The spectacle which met his
eyes was one which brought exclama-
tions of establishment from his mouth,
and as his canoe swept onward over the
the level water, new beauties and wider
expanses of natural loneliness broke up-
on his view. Even then he was world
wide traveller. He had visited Mexico.
Vera Cruz and Panama. The luxuriant
loveliness of the tropics and the more
sober beauties of semi-tropical regions
were familiar to him. He had seen the
best that the continent of Europe had
to show. He had gazed upon the green
meadows of Acadia and the awful gran
deurs of tn Saguenay. But never be-
fore had he looked upon scene of such
picturesque beauty and such varied
loneliness as this body of water present.
ed to his appreciative eyes as it lay re-
vealed in the dewy light of this warm
July morning.
Not breath was moving in the air.
The lake, between its widening shores,
stretched before him smooth as glass.
Through it the noiseless paddles moved
the noiseless bark in which he stood and
gazed. Behind him came the twenty
four canoes, silently following his silent
wake. The paddles rose and sunk in
perfect unison. The ochred faces of the
Indians and their feathered scalp-locks
showed brilliantly in the morning light
Tho air was odorous with the perfumes
of gums and flowers. Here and there
lilies starred the water whitley. Large
fish leaped, splashed, and drove their
sharpened wedge of motion along the
level surface. Through tho dewy air
came the pure, sweet note of the hermit
thrush. Far overhead the hunting
eagle, sweeping around and around in
watchful circles, came to sudden stop,
fluttered for q moment, and then, with
rightly balanced poise, drove headlong
downward into the lake. Ducks black
ened the water for acres. Tho mother
does watched the playful fawns bound
ing along the sand. The numbering
moose waded laboriously shoreward, and
on the marshy bank stood at gaze.
Above, the sky was sapphire. Over the
eastern mountains the sun shone rcdly.
The mighty woods came to the waters
edge, an unbroken mass of natural
forest. The lake, to which he was to
give his name while living, that was to
be his everlasting monument when
dead, welcomed his entrance between
her shores with the finest expressions
Of her loveliness. Champlain haI come
to his own, and his own received him
gladly.

EvADINe THE QUESTION.
How a Little Girl Upset Emperor Will
Jams Equanimity.

During stay of Emperor William 1.
of Germany at the fashionable water
ing place of Ems, that monarch paid a
visit to large orphan asylum and
school that was under government pat
ronage. The presence of so distin-
guished parsonage created quite SEN
sation in the establishment. After
listening with much interest to the reci-
tations of several of the classes, his
Majesty called to him bright, faxen-
haired little girl of five or six years of
age, and, lifting her.into his lap, said to
her:
"Now, my little Fraulein, let me soc
how we'll you have been taught. To
what kingdom does this belong? And
taking out of his pocket an orange, he
held it up to her.
The little girl hesitated a moment,
and, looking timidly up in the Empe-
ror's face, replied:
''To the vegetable kingdom"
every good, my little Fraulein; and
now to what kingdom does this belong?"
And he drew out of his pocket gold
piece and placed it on the orange.
Again the little girl hesitated, but
soon replied:
''To the mineral kingdom"
''Better and BETTER" said the En-
peror. ''Now look at me, and say to me
to what kingdom belong"
At thisquestion, there was an ominous
silence among the teachers and visitors
who were listening with much interest
to the royal catechism. Could she make
any other reply than ''To the animal
kingdom?" The little girl hesitated
long, as if perplexed as to what answer
she would give. Was the Emperor an
animal? Her eyes sought those of her
teacher and her schoolmatcs. Then she
looked up into the eyes of the aged En-
peror, and, with half-startled, fright
ened look, as if she were evading the
question, replied:
ITO the kingdom of heaven"
The unexpected answer completely
upset the equanimity of the old gentle

WOMEN AND NOVELS.

cession of If and But" The old dangers
are averted by the very conditions of
the time. The higher education has
created an appetite for wholesome
mental food-the radical temperament
is active and one thing follows fast on
the footsteps of another: if our girls are
reading more, they are dancing, riding,
dressing more; going moro into music,
athletics, nursing, charity, literary
work; in short, realities force them
selves on the attention to such degree
that few women are in danger of neg
lecting their duties to waste long hours
in fictitious joys and woes alone.
Many women are exiles through life
They do not even hear afar the music
of existence, all for which woman
longs instinctively; they are shut out
by poverty, by illness, by monotonous
round of prosaic duty none the less we'll
