bursts into your thoughts some recoI.

exist between your present Thoughts,

1 find our poets, as rule, strangely
enough, use the pen almost without
an exception. Mr.. Lowell, DIR.
Holmes and Mr.. Whittier never think
of the pencil as an instrument of COM
position. Mr. Aldrich, also, uses the
pen, as does Margaret Deland and like
wise Edmund Clarence Stedman The
poet Stoddard will vary between the
pen and the pencil, as the mood may
seize him. Robert Louis Stevenson,
on the other hand, prefers pencil, al
though he has written the complets
manuscript of a novel with a pen.
Mrs. Burnett also uses the pen, al
though during her recent illness she
used a pencil almost exclusively

The principal point of value in Mr..
Blaine's letter on reciprocity is its recog-
pition of the value to our farmers of a
foreign market for their products. It is
from this standpoint that Blaine makes
his sweeping arraignment of the Nc
Kinley bill: There is not "A section or a
line in the entire bill that will open
market for another bushel of wheat or
another barrel of pork"
The necessity of foreign market for
our farm products Is absolute, provided
our agriculture is to prosper. But. as
Blaine secs, Our foreign market for
breadstuff5 grows narrower" 1t is not
only true, as he points out, that Great
Britain is exerting every nerve to secure
her bread supplies from India, but it is
also truc that England is turning her at
tention to the Argentine Republic for her
grain supply.
Let the farmer here neteone all i'm.
portant fact, viz, that nation buys
most readily from those to whom ii can
also sell The Mckinley idea of selling
TO foreign countries without buying from
them is in the long run impossible.
Trade between nations is barter, and
the more widely we open our ports TO
foreign goods the greater will be the
demand for our farm products with
which to make payment for these for
eign goodsr -.as -.
Under this view Blaine,s condemna-
tion of the Mckinley bill does not 60 far
enough Not only does that bill fail TO
open a 'smarket for another bushel of
wheat or another barrel of pork" but il
actually tends TO close the foreign mar
ket by driving away foreign trade from
our shores. There Is the fatal objection
TO tho bin.

Natures cur3ous Proxisiosis for Protecting
Defenseless Animals.
II IS perfectly wonderful to notice
the phenomenal provisions made by
nature Tor the preservation of tho
weaker and more helpless animals. In
many cases the color of the creature is
adapted IN wonderful way to its
mode OF living and its place of con-
ce2lmeat, contributing very. materi-
ally TO its safety. All who live agnono-
the green fields, which, by the way. IS
the way To live properly. know how
difficult 1t IS 10 distinguish the grass
hopper from the leaf or blade of yeee-
tation npon which he Is at rest, until
he betrays himself by moving. Those
birds which sing in the hedgerow
have feathers upon their backs which
harmonize with the color. of the leaves
about and among which they fit.
while the feathers ON their breasts
borrow the white hue from the clouds
above them.
The partridge can hardly be distin-
euished from the stubble where It
makes its nest, while in the moro
northern countries the winter dress Of

the snow with which the landscape is
usual J covered. and upon which these

vail, and go down. however oeep. into

the stagnant pools and muddy bitches
by the roadside, are known to vary
their color IN order 10 harmonic with
the sand or mud in which they live.
The little tree frog. on the other hand.
IS green, and thus Is with difficulty
distinguished from the tree to which

which inhabit fresh water, are so like
IN color To the weeds aud stones among
which they lie that it is often very
difficult TO detect their presence.
One of the most wonderful instances
OF natures care in providing for the
protection of the more defenSeleSs
creatures Is found in the apparatus for
provided. The very instant its quick
eye catches n glimpse of an approach
ing enemy, knowing by instinct alone
1t Is absurd TO speak of reason in CON
nection with these low forms of animal
ilfe--the lmpOSsibilityo of seeking safety
by Hight, and having no means of de-
iense Whatever, 1t prepares at once TO
seek safety in concealment. To this
end 1t sinks downward rapidly, throw
ing out from a vessel with which il is
provided, and nature taught it to use. a
stream of fluid with which the black
est paint is light in comparison. This
soon colors the water far around, and
etfectually conceals the animal and at
the same time is very repulsive to all
forms of animal life feeding upon IL;
and, as It takes considerable time for

In connootioil with a fsioald, Samuel
w SOule, printer aud inventor. c.
L. Sholes was engaged in Milwaukee
during the winter of 1866 aud 1867 in
developing a machine for printing the
numbers of pages ON the leaves of
blank books, after the books were
bound, aud for printing the serial
numbers on bank notes. Carlos Gid
den, friend of Sholes with an inven-
tive fancy, took great interest In the
paging machine and asked why sim
liar contrivance could not be made
that would write letters and words in
stead Of figures and numbers. The
three men worked together upon this
idea, but Sholes evolved the main
part of the machine. BE suggested
pivoted types set in a circle. The
principal contribution of Mr.. Glidden
was his suggestion that such a ma
chino ought TO be made. In Septenn-
Der, 1867, a machine was finished and
letters written with It. The invention
was far from being a perfect writing
machine, but one Of the letters. sent

pay all the expenses up to date for a
one-fourth interest His offer was ac-
cepted. Soule and Glidden subse-
quently dropped out, leaving Sholes

Between Palmer aud Farris, ON the
Houston and Texas road, there is a
singular hill in the prairie black lands.
1t Is covered with oak and pecan astall
as Kentucky trees. The locality.
though n hill, is always wet. The
ground is muddy, and the air murlxy.
The station sign proclaims the name !;
the siding is called Ghost Hill. The
reason of the name is this: At night,
while passing this point, time and
again has the whistle called for brakes
and the bell rung for imaginary
crossings. The train men, after set
ting the brakes, would be terrified to
learn that the engineer had not given
the signals. More than ono crew has
ineontinently abandoned the service
OF the company after such experience.
