Told by the Sewing Machine Man.

"Gentlemen," said the sewing machine
man, zone spring father and had a
sugar camp down in the edge of the
grove. About half mile from us was a
corn field owned by a widow, and this
widow never picked her corn clean. On
the other side was a man who owned a
blind SOW. She had one pig, and they
used to go over into that corn field every
day to eat corn. Right in front of our
camp was a creek. AT one place about
forty rods from our camp there was a
tree felled across the creek. This was
the only place that the SOW and pig could
cross. Of course the SOW could not see
to cross on the log, SO the way they used
to do was for the old sow to take hold of
the pigs tail and the pig would lead her
across. Well, one day we were sitting
in front of our camp when the old SOW
and pig were crossing that log. said to
father, Hand me the rife and see me
cut that pigs tail off, took aim and
fired, cutting that little pigs tail off
smack smooth. The pig ran for the corn
field, but the old SOW didn't know which
way to go. So father went over and
took hold of the pigs tail and led the old
SOW clear into camp."-Lewiston Jour
nal.

Mental Capacity of Spiders.

Experiments on the mental powers of
hundreds of spiders have been made by
Messrs. G. W. and E. G. Peckham.
Evidence was given that the faculty of
smell is fairly developed in all but three
out of twenty-six species, but the posi-
ton of the organ of smell was not
found and is not known. Loud sounds
were apparently unperceived; the epei-
rids were sensitive to the sound of a
tuning fork, while the spiders that do
not make webs gave no heed to it.
Love of offspring was manifested in
all spiders by eagerness to receive back
cocoons within twenty four hours, though
few recognized them after a longer Pc
riod, and none seemed able to distinguish
their own cocoons from another spiders
or from pith balls of the same size.
Sight appeared to be good, though from
familiarity only through touch cocoons
were found with difficulty, even when
within three-fourths of an inch. The
color sense seemed fairly developed, with
preference for red. The authors dis
credit the notion thatspiders feign death,
accepting Darwin's explanation that the
habit of lying motionless has been ac-
quired in different degrees to serve diff
ferent purposes.-New York Telegram.

He Was All Music.

To the people who lived in Fayette
forty years ago and earlier Aaron Wins
low was we'll known. He had a never
failing fund of wit and humor, and was
an inveterate practical joker. When he
was boy, if there was any drollery or
dsviiary going rn he was sure to have a
hand in it. He was a noted old time
singing master and taught many singing
schools in this and the neighboring
towns. He would get SO engrossed in
music as to forget everything else.
Once he worked for Mr.. Moses Walton,
of South Chesterfield, in having time.
A shower was coming up. One load of
hay was hurriedly put on and started for
the barn. Aaron drove the oxen.
Said Mr.. Walton: Don't go to sing
ing, Aaron, for if you do you'll be sure
to upset the load"
He drove carefully at first, bat soon
the musical spirit got hold of him and he
began to sing. The cattle went any
way; one wheel dropped into a stone
hole: the load of hay was overturned
and drenched by the rain.
When he lived on the farm where Mr..
y. p. Fellows now resides he worked
away one day in winter with his cattle
and came home late. BE turned the
oxen into the barnyard and went into
the house to warm himself. Ere long he
took down the violin ana singing book
and commenced to play and sing. The
poor beasts STAYED, yoked. in the yard,
without food or shelter, all through the
long winter night, owing to the ali ao-
sorbing passion for music OF the absent
minded dAaron.-Lewistoa Journal.

FLED WITH THOUSANDS.
The Pacific Express Company Robbed of
$4,000 by a Clerk.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Feb. 5.-L. A. Fuller
superintendent of the Pacific Express
company was notified today by the Com
mercial bank, of this city, that package
containing s35, ZOO in greenbacks consigned
to that bank by the City National bank.
OF Dallas, and for which the Commercial
bank held the receipt of the Pacific EX-
press company, was missing On February
1 the City National bank, of Dallas, re-
mitted to the Commercial National bank,
of St. Louis, the sum of $4,000. of which
sum SIS, 200 was gold in bag and s35, 600
in bills enclosed in a regular express
package. The gold was duly received
two days ago and delivered to the bank.
The bank reported to Superintendent Full
Ter that the gold was only part of the re-
mittance from the City National bank
and that the bank held two receipts, one
for S15,0 ana one for S35, 900.
On receipt of this information Snperin-
tendent Fuller telegraphed Assistant
Superintendent Aiken at Dallas notifying
him OF the shortage and asking him to IN
vestigate and forward information rs soon
as possible. Mr.. Aiken replied that there
was no trace of the missing package.
This fully confirmed Superintendent
Fuller's fear and with it came the
additional astounding information
that the money clerk of the
Dallas Office, young man named F. \.
Walton, had been missing since last Sun
day night. An investigation was instigat-
ed at once, but without result, as the cash
of the Dallas office was found to be intact
When Assistant superintendent Aiken re-
ceived Mr.. Fu!ler,s message it opened up a
new avenue for investigation and the cum
ming scheme of Walton to secure delay in
the discovery of his shortage was unfold
ed. He had made out two receipts, one for
$4,000 and one for $4,000, on one bank
On the duplicate forwarded TO ST. Louis,
$50, 900, and it was not until the CONNER
cial bank OF this city had notified the
Dallas bank of the receipt of but SIS, 600
of the So, 600 that there was the least sus-
picion OF anything wrong
After pursuing this line of inquiry to the
end Assistant superintendent Aiken tele-
graphed rs follows to Superintendent Full
Ter: Walton. our money clerk, has taken
the S35, coo. He was with the American
Express at Iowa. Mich, for five years. He
came to US from Wells. Fargo K Co. His
father resides at St. Joe, Mo. Have traced
him to Indian territory and have detec-
tive on trail Agent Garrison leaves for

Descriptions of the absconding money

perintendent Fuller.

istence she has seen q great amount of
service, and when we contrast her cost
per ton with that of the Elfin-cSo with
e500-with that Of the Victoria and Al
bert-eS0 to el25-or with that of the
Osborne-eS0 with e153-it becomes very
evident either that she is very cheap OF
that the yachts are terribly expensive.
The latter is, no doubt, the fact and the
main reason of it is not far to seek.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 5.-The
Shanghai Mercury of January received
yesterday gives an account of the great
cloud burst near Nanking. of which a
brief announcement was received by cable
at the time. 1t says:

when the weather was bright. there was
suddenly heard a rushing noise as of
water Two large black clouds appeared
aud soon developed everything like a fog.
The two clouds eventually reached a place
called TsIt Lichaw, when they burst
asunder making a very loud report. Dur
ing the disturbance many boats were de-
stroyed and over one hundred people were
drowned. Those who lost their lives were
buried by the authorities.

PORTLAND UNEER WATER.
PORTLAND, Ore. Feb. 5.-The Postal
Telegraph company furnishes the follow
ing: The rain has ceased throughout the
Willamette valley but the river at this
point is still on the rise. The river is still
rising, although reports as for north as
Corn valley say it began falling there at
noon. Many of the Of the side walks are
floating and several accidents have oc-
Cured to pedestrians by falling through
holes in the side walk The Oregon Tele-
gram was compelled to leave its business
Offices and move farther back this even
water on the first floor The
editorial rooms which are on the second
floor are reached by boats. General
anxiety has been felt for the two bridges
which span the river at this point.
The river at present is comparatively free
from drift, it having been carried down
before the water became SO high. The
Associated Press reporter in order to get
the dispatches is compelled to wade
through water three feet deep.
A dispatch from McGinville, Ore, states
that the town of Wheatlank is almost
swept away, much stock drowned and a
large amount of grain has been destroyed.

honey, young miner Forty men are en-
ployed at the mine in two shifts. One
shift was below and the other was eating
dinner at time the avalanche rushed upon
