Noted Verse Writers.

did you ever know that there are
men who have become noted as the writ
ers Of songs who never wrote a verse
in their lives" remarked Carol, after
we had discussed annie Rooney"
"McGinty'' and "McManus." ''Ben Col
Inns, who died in New York recently,
wrote lots Of good stuff, but did you ever
see his name on the back of a sheet of
music? He used to sell songs to people
who were better known than poor Ben
Collins. J. P. Sicily wrote many beau
tiful songs, but pretty Red Rose was
the only one that made hit. Some
come dams have a habit of buying
songs from unknown but brainy Bohe-
mians and taking the credit of having
written them. In this way certain
actor who never wrote song in his life,
has established world wide reputation
as the writer Of comic songs. "-Cincin-

The phonograph people have property
which grows more valuable with the
lapse of every year. Many cylinders are
slowed away with marvelously interest
ing records upon their waxen surfaces.
The Gladstone cylinder is exhibited only
on rare occasions and to distinguished
guests. 1t is already an extremely valu-
able record, and at Gladstones death it
will probably be worth 81, 600. A cylin-
der containing a few sentences by old
Gen. Won Moltke, now 90 years of age,
can also be heard. The 5E}e sqYq lllfjl q,
when its producer has reached mans es-
tate he can listen to his own infantile
voice If he has any curiosity that way.
Funny stories by Eli Perkins, songs by
well known singers and short passages
from well known plays, spoken by emf
nent actors, are all on storage in phono-
graph cylinders. These lose nothing in
clea1ness and volume from the lapse of
years, but, of course, may be worn out
from use. It is believed that a record
taken today and carefully preserved can
be reproduced $50 years hence.-New

A Travelling Dog.

Mr.. Edward Cook, after having lived
some time with his brother George at
Tugsten, in Northumberland, went to
America, and took with him pointer
dog, which he lost soon afterward,
while shooting in the woods near Balti-
more. Some time after, Mr.. George
Cook, who continued to reside at Tug
stem, was alarmed at hearing a dog in
the night. He admitted it into the
house, and found that it was the same
his brother had taken with him to
America. The dog lived with them
until his master returned home, when
they mutually recognized each other.
Mr.. Cook was never able to trace by
what vessel the dog had left America,
Or in what part of England it had been
landed.-New York Mail and Express.

A Man Over Seventy Years Old Saves "A
Boy from Drowning.
Tuesday night, about o'clock. the
guests at the Avery house, Mount Glenn
ems, who thronged the pleasant veran-
das of that hotel, We're startled by cries
that proceeded from the banks of the
Clinton river, about 800 feet distant
Instantly there was a rush toward the
river, and it was found that two bows
were Laundering in the water One
who seemed to be about T. years of
age, managed to scramble out. but the
other, apparently s years old, was IN
able to get ashore and seemed in dan
ger of drowning. A crowd of men stood
on the dock watching the boys efforts.
but none appeared to know what to
do IN the emergency, and it was evi-
dent that none knew how to swim. as
no move to jump after the boy was
made. The little fellow was BECOMING
exhausted and was just on the point Of
sinking when a white haired man
pushed his way through the crowd,
asking what was the matter.
The boy is drowning" replied one
of the ratified onlool1ers.
The newcomer took in the situation
at glance. His glossy silk hat came
off and found a resting place in the
dust without the observance of the
slightest ceremony. Next his black
broadcloth coat was flung in q heap.
Then the tail, well knit form shot mn
in the air and came down in the dark
water with a splash. The boy had
sunk from view and it was feared he
was lost. The white haired old man
dived like pearl fisher. Every second
of his disappearance seemed an hour.
and the spectators feared that both had
sunk to rise no more.
Just at the height of their anxiety
the water parted and the rescuer and
rescued appeared on the surface. With
a few sturdy strokes the life saver
brought the boy to the shore and both
were pulled out. The brave old man

thorough wetjing, and the boy. after
getting the water out of his mouth
began to bawl loudly and started on a
run for home. 1t appears that the
boys were brothers, and that the older
had been teasing the younger by push
ing Lin toward the water. He had
pushed little too much, and the child
had slipped in, but pulled his tor
mentor in also.
The hero Of the affair was as modest
as brave, and simply laughed when
congratulated on his feat. 1t was
learned that his name is Robert Gun
yon and that he is wealthy business
man of Milwaukee. The surprising
feature Of the whole affair is that Mr..
Gunyon is Is years Of age. That fact
makes his accomplishment a wonderful
one. Although he has reached that
ripe age, he is still hale, hearty and
vigorous, and VIII no doubt live to save

"'WanUed: Fat babies for crocodile
bait. VIII be brought home alive
When l first saw this advertisement
in Ceylon newspaper" said Richard
Kingdom, guest at the Richelieu, Il
thought it was joke. Afterwards l
learned it was by this means that
crocodile hunters secured their bait. 1t
is no trouble for an English crocodile
hunter to get these little children.
The Ceylon parents have full confidence
in Englishmen, and they will rent out
their babies to be used for crocodile bait
for a small sum.
''The Ceylon crocodiles are lazier than
any other, and are harder to get. They
lie for hours perfectly motionless, bask-
ing in the sun. Hardly any thing can
stir them. But when tempted by fat
Ceylon baby placed on the banks Of the
stream they shake off their ennui and
their mouths water for delicate morsel
of brown baby. The crocodile gathers
himself together and starts out for the
infant. When he gets about half way
up the bank the hunter, concealed be-
hind some reeds, opens fire and gets his
game. Then the baby is taken home to
its loving parents, to be used for the
same purpose next day. The sports
man secures the skin and the head of
the crocodile, and the natives are given
the rest of the carcass. I've shot every
thing from the little prairie dogs to

spelled correctly; but it strikes me that
you are not always up to the mark in

He Had the Floor.

The British house of commons is per-
haps the most powerful organization Of
men in the world, but its great authority
and dignity did not prevent it from be-
ing thrown into some confusion on a re-
cent occasion, by very small enemy.
One of the members, Sir John Gorst,
bad taken the floor to address the house,
when it was perceived by a number Of
members that a mouse had taken the
floor at the same time, and was running
exactly in the direction Of the spot occu-
pied by Sir John.
Certain of the members could not re-
frain from cries of surprise at seeing the
mouse make this movement. The cries
frightened the mouse and caused him to
turn back and run towards the benches
occupied by the members.
This threw the front bench into some
confusion, which only frightened the
mouse the more. He attempted to take
refuge in the trousers leg of an honora-
bic member, and this gentleman imme-
diately began series Of leaps and bounds
IN an attempt to free himself from the
mouse.
In an Instant the chamber was in con-
fusion. The mouse, escaping from the
honorable member with whom he had
taken refuge, ran this way and that.
Numbers Of the members jumped upon
the benches which serve them as
seats. The question before the house
became, ''How shall this little animal be
got rid of?''
All at once the mouse found his way
to the hole in the floor through which he
had entered. He disappeared, members
got down from the seats, and Sir John
Gorst resumed his remarks.-Yout

is much patronized by ladies out on hus-

my surprise, returned with it in about
three-Quarters of a minute.

credulous mind, but sure enough it was
as good stew as had ever eaten.

wanted.

So saying he turned a set screw, which

then he scooped dozen oysters, which
he placed in the now hot plate, with the
juice. After few seconds he SKINNED
the oyster juice, which had begun to
boil Immediately on being placed in the
copper plate; next he poured little
milk, and afterward a small piece of
butter into the plate, and, presto! the
stew was made
1t had taken trihe over half a min

chef, as he juggled with two milk shakes,

oyster stews | could supply them as fast
as they could eat them with these two

A MOVING MOUNTAIN.
Strange Phenomenon at the Cascades OF
the Columbia River

orange RnenomenOn at the Cascades OF
the Columbia River.
A travelling mountain is found at the
Cascades of the Columbia. tbs triple
peaked mass of dark-brown basalt, six
or eight miles in length where it fronts
the river, and rises to height of al
most 1000 feet above the water.
That 1t is in motion is the last thought
which would be likely to suggest itself
to the mind of any one passing it, yet
1t is well-esta blished fact that this
entire mountain is moving slowly but
steadily down the river, as if it had a
deliberate purpose some time in the
future to dam the Columbia and form a
great lake from the Cascades to the
Dalles. The Indian traditions indicate
immense movements of the mountains
hereabouts, long before white men came
to Oregon, and the early settlers, i'm
migrants many of them from New En-.
gland, gave the above-described mount
ainous ridge the name of travelling
mountain" or sliding mountain"
In its forward and downward move
ment the forests along the base of the
ridge have become submerged in the
river. Large tree-stubs can be seen
standing deep in the water on this
shore. The railway engineers and the
trackmen find that the line of the rail-
road which skirts the foot of the noun
tain is being continually forced out OF
place. At certain points the roadbed
and rails have been pushed eight or ten
feet out of line in the course of a few
years.
Biologists attribute this strange phe.
nomenon to the fact that the basalt,
which constitutes the bulk of the noun.
tain, rests upon a substratum of con.
/ glomerate, or of soft sandstone, which
the deep, swift curr of the mighty
river is constantly airing away, OF
that this softer subr k is of itself
yielding, at great dept s, to the enor
nous weight of the harder material

A HORSES PHENOMENAL DEED.
He Canters Fifteen Miles Without Chang.
ing His Feet.

ing His Feet.
There was an unusually large attend
ance at Audubon park, the attraction
being a novel race in which man and
a horse were contending on pretty near
ly even terms. Mariana Bielsa had
agreed to run fifteen miles against any
horse that should be pitted against him
under these conditions:
The Spaniard offered a prize of 500
for any horse that would walk, run, trot.
pace, rack or lope fifteen miles under
saddle in less time than he would run
the same distance; but it was in the
agreement that the horse should adopt
certain gait at the start and not ex-
change it for another III any part of the
race, and it was through this part of the
contract that the element Of uncertainty
was introduced into the contest.
Everybody knew that anything Of
fair saddle horse could cover fifteen miles
in less time than it would take a man to
run the same distance, but the prevail
ing impression appeared to be that no
horse could be found that could be made
to lope, trot, gallop, pace or rack fifteen
miles without changing its gait.
The horse selected for the contest was
substantial looking black gelding of
good size and substance, and having a
fair share of quality, though he was not
a handsome horse. He was ridden BY
his owner, Mr.. r. L. Harvey, who, with
the big Mexican saddle he used, must
have made up an impost Of fully 100
pounds.
It was announced that the horse would
slope" (canter), and it was understood
that, while he might shift his feet as
often as he chose, he would lose the race
if he trotted even half a length. Before
the start the man was the favorite, as it
was expected that the horse would drop
into trot when shifting his lead from
left to right, or from right to left, while
no one appeared to contemplate the pos
sibility of the horses accomplishing the
whole distance without once changing
his feet.
1t was nearly o'clock when the con-
testants made their appearance. The
Spaniard was very gayly attired in flesh
colored silk tights, white kid slippers
trimmed with scarlet, a scarlet silk
handkerchief on his head, cream col
ored undershirt Of silk net, and beauti-
fully embroidered trunks and collarette
of blue silk.
/ Starting a little back of the mark, they
moved up and took the word together,
the man at the pole on long swinging
trot and the horse about the middle Of
the track on a slow canter. The horse
Immediately took the lead, and he con-
tinued to draw steadily away for the
whole distance till he had completed the
fifteen miles without having once as
much as shifted his feet for the purpose
of changing his lead), and was more than
five miles ahead Of Bielsa.
AS will be seen by the time of each
mile, Mr.. Harvey rated his horse admir-
ably from first to last, and at the conclu-
sion of the race he was warmly congrat-
ulated by hosts of admiring friends. The
following table will give an accurate
picture of the performance:
