A Mothers Love.

Some years ago the visitor who went
on Saturdays to the penitentiary at Fort
Madison would see at certain times lady
in the Office of the warden. She was
always veiled and dressed in deep black.
By her side there would be a convict, .
boy hardly seventeen years old, slight,
handsome lad, whose frank face seemed
in striking disharmony with the degrade
tion of the stripes he wore. It was mother
and son, and he was, indeed, hard hearted
who could witness their meeting and
their parting when the allotted time
allowed by the prison rules for such inter-
views had expired. The mother lived ct
q distance, but every week, rain or shine,
brought her to the place again to see, to
cheer and to help her boy, to wiring her
heart with fresh agony, for che was Q
proud woman OF high station in society,
but to show that there was one friend in
all the world to remember aud to sympa-
thize. .-
1t has been years since that boy was
released from the prison walls, aud be is
today a prosperous and honest man. The
mothers love helped that boy back to
better ways

EarlY's Faithful Servant.

"One of the greatest instances of devo-
tion that ever saw, "said an old/Virginian,
''outside of that of dog for his master. is
that shown by 'Early's niger Joe.' Joe
is an old negro about 70 years of age,
who was born slave in Gen. Jubal
Early's family, brought up with Jube
became his body servant, served all
through the war with him as watchfnl of
his master as mother of her babe After
the war Joe was informed that he was
free.
"'I'se free p said Joe, with look oi
contempt. "I'se not free. Ise Mas Jube's
till dies
s'Early is very fond of his servant, and
has told every shopkeeper in Lynchburg
to let Joe have anything he wants and
send the bill to him. Joe follows bis
master around on certain occasions like a
dog. When Early let's the mountain dew
of old Virginny get the better of him, Joe
will say:
"'Mas' Jube, you must come home
"'Why, you--nIgger, who are you talk
ing TOP Who's boss, any way?'
"'Well, Mas Jube, when you's sober
you's boss, but when you's drunk I'se

"' Well, Joe, you're right. When I'm
drunk you're boss
"And Early will resign himself to th'
faithful old darkeY's care."-&. Louis

Concerning Moths.

Regarding moths, says the Upholstery
Trade Reuieao, many are not aware that
the damage is done when the miller COM
mepces to fly, as their very presence
indicates the absence of the worm. 1t is
to prevent the miller incubating that pre-
cautions should be taken. A large pro-
portion of the millers never hatch eggs,
but die without causing any harm. The
male miller, which does not fly, but runs
very rapidly, is quite easily detected by
his triangular shaped figure, but, keepi ng
himself out of sight, he is not so easily
found. His hiding explains the de vious
flights of the female in her search. The
killing of one male is equal to the extinc.
tion of many ordinary mlllers. The male
miller is commonly known by the name of
"silver fish,"
Carpets are seldom troubled with moth
worms except where hatched in dark
unprotected space, and where it is
moderately warm. It is for this reason
no doubt that carpet houses are seldom, il
ever, troubled by them, the stocks in the
larger houses being disposed of between
seasons. Nearly all the trouble from
1aoths emsnates from the furniture, the
burlap inside the outer covering being
their best field for work, where they can
be free from annoyance and find plenty tc
eat. Many furniture dealers realize their
danger, and cleanse the burlap used with
naphtha.
1t is when the worms are either tired o
their food or it lack the nourishment that
they desire that they seek an outlet and
drop upon the carpet.
Cleansing carpets by the naphtha pro
cess is regarded as the surest and most
satisfactory where there is the slightest
suspicion of moth eggs or worms. It ia
especially adapted to pile carpets. Caution
should be exercised as to the purity and
clearness of the naphtha used and tn,
thorough extraction of the grease, else the
dirt adheres more easily than before
Where carpets are to remain in storagt
some time, the odor can be left 10 thu
carpet. A more thorough cleansing Cal
be assured by having the carpet beatet
first. A surface application of naphth:
will drive the impurities through tn
article, to be absorbed by that which il
under it.

Has the Earth too Much Gas /?

Is it safe to drill the earth too much
much for natural gas? Prof. Joseph f.
Jones answers this question in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly, and his conclusions
are of most alarming nature. The Pro-
feesor assumes the earth to be hollow
sphere, filled with gaseous substance,
called by as natural gas; and be thinks
that tapping these reservoirs will cause
disastrous explosions, resulting from the
lighted gas coming in contact with that
which is escaping. He compares the
earth to a balloon foated and kept dis
tended by the gas in the interior, which,
if exhausted, will cause the crust to COL
lapse, affect the motion of the earth in its
orbit, cause it to lose its place among the
heavenly bodies, and fall in pieces. An
other thinks that drilling should be pro-
hibited by stringent laws. He, too,
thinks there is a<possibilitY of an ex-
plosion, though from another cause.
Should such disaster occur, "the coun-
try along the gas belt from Toledo
through Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky will
| be ripped up to the depth of 1900 or
| l,5O0 feet, and Topped over like pan
cake, leaving chasm through which the
waters OF Lake Erie will come down,
filling the Ohio and Mississippi valleys,
and blotting them out forever" Still
another theorist has Investigated the gas
wells with telephones and delicate ther-
mometers, and he announces startling
discoveries. He distinguished sounds
like the boiling of rocks, and estimated
| that mile and one-half or so beneath the
Ohio and Indiana gas-feld the tempera-
ture of the earth is $500 degrees. This
scientist says an immense cavity exists,
and that here the gas is stored; that a
mile below the bottom of the cavity is a
mass of roaring, seething fame. which is
gradually eating into the rock floor of the
cavern aud thinning it. Eventually the
flames will reach the gas, and terrible
explosion will ensue.-Dr. Oswald.

North Carolina's Breathing Cave.

In the range of mountains in Western
North Carolina known as the "Fork
Range" a most singular phenomenon
exists. 1t is the breathing Cave" In
the summer months a current of air comes
from it so strongly that a person cannot
walk against it, while in the winter the
rush of air inward is just as great.
The cool air from the cave in summer is
felt sometimes for miles in q direct line
from the mouth of the cave. At times a
most unpleasant odor is emitted upou the
current from dead animals sucked in and
killed by coming in violent contact with
the walls. The loss of cattle aud other
stock in that section during the winter
months is always great, and is accounted
for in this way: They range too near the
mouth and the current carries them in.
At times, when the change from inhala.
tion to exhalation begins, the air is filled
with hairs of the various animals; not
infrequently small dry bones have been
carried over a mile from the mouth of the
cave as though shot from an air gun. The
air has been known to change quite sud
denly during exhalation from cold to quite
hot, accompanied by terrible roaring and
gurgling sound.
Many scientific men have visited the
place. but the phenomenon still remains
unexplained; the residents of that section
fear a volcanic eruption. Something il
wrong, sure.-NashvSIIe american.

Be Explicit in Making Bargains.

It is evident that many Law suits aud
unpleasant business differences, and con-
siderable loss of money, could be avoided
by explicitness in asking and giving
prices, in ordering, and in making state
ments, either oral or written, regarding
the details of transactions. Kicks and
complaints are very common in the lumber
business, says the Lumberman. and it
applies equally to business transactions OF
every kind. Trouble arises from mis-
understandings that might easily have
been averted by carefulpess at the outset
of deal, while in other instances definite
ness of statement on the part of buyer or
seller, in event of controversy, would
have made plain the merits of q case that
looks decidedly mixed because too much
has been taken for granted. An am
biguous order should never be given, nor
should goods be forwarded on the strength
of it. If there is any opening for mis-
take as to The dimensions or quality, of
be definitely stated. Orders by telegraph
especially are often too brief, are open to
misconstruction, or lacking in detail. If
goods are so urgently wanted that they
are telegraphed for, it is-certainly highly
important that there should be nothing
wrong on their arrival. The great aim OF
most persons in writing out a message is
to save few cents by boiling it down
an economy that often loses dollars for the
sender. An order by telegram should be
made to state exactly what is wanted, no
matter how many words are required, and
then in case of dispute the buyer will
have more ground to stand on.
