that is fully established. Three hundred

The Chesapeake and Ohio railway traverses

An Ingenious Homemade Canoe.

In the back yard of an up town
house down at the end of the grass
plot rests a canoe that gives evidence
of the ingenuity and perseverance OF
two young lads who are it's designers
and makers.
was an interested spectator of the
work from the beginning First the
neighbors saw long pole brought into
the yard, then for a few days the
grocers round about were bothered for
barrel hoops, and when at last a suf
fcient stock of these was obtained the
real work began. The soundest and
best of the hoops were tackled to the
under side of the pole, the largest ones
in the center, and with a sloping off
in size down to either end of the stick.
At this stage the structure took on
the appearance of horses cadaver, in
verified. With mathematical nicetg,
then frame work was nailed to the
free ends of the barrel hoops, inclOs-
ing them and giving less of CHASTITY
appearance to things Then the but
ternen in the district were kept busy
supplying the call for old cheese boxes.
These the youngsters broke apart, using
the round body of light wood for
cover to the skeleton, thus giving it, SO
to speak, a local habitation and
name"
Canvas came next, through the me-
dunn of persuading butcher that he
needed a new awning for his shop.
Newspapers were pasted all over the
cheese box cover of the shell, the old
awning over that, a cover of like ma
terial was affixed, leaving only open
ings for the paddler and the one to his
locker. Two coats of paint were ap-
piled, seat of light wood was inserted,
and those boys will soon paddle their
own canoe at a neighboring summer
resort
One of them told me it cost IAN even
fifty cents in cash for the whole bust
ness, but it will be worth fortune to
the boys, provided it does not sink with
them, if it has taught them to sail in
their own boats through life.-New

nv troubles Well, | am not through

sideration for the last. | am going to
soothe you with the thought of heaven
However talkative we may be, there
will come a time when the stOutest and
most emphatic interrogation will evoke
from us no answer.
As soon as we have closed our lips
for the final silence, no power on earth
can break that taciturnity. But where,
Oh, Christian, will be your spirit? In a
scene of infinite gladness. The spring
morning of heaven waving its blossoms
in the bright air. Victors fresh from
battle showing their scars The rain of
earthly sorrow struck through with the
rainbow of eternal joy. In one group,
God and angels and the redeemed-Paul
and Silas, Latimer and Ridley, Isaiah
and jeremiah, Payson and John Milton,
Gabriel and Michael the archangel.
Long line of choristers reaching across
the hills. Seas of joy dashing to the
white beach. Conquerors marching
from gate to gate. You among them.
AROUND THE CELESTIAL WELL.
Oh, what great flock of sheep God
will gather around the celestial well. No
stone on the wells mouth, while the
shepherd waters the sheep. There
Jacob willafecognize Rachel the shep-
herdess. Ind standing on one side of
the well of eternal rapture your chill
dren, and standing on the other side of
the well of eternal rapture your Chris
tan ancestry, you will be bounded on
all sides by JOY SO keen and grand
that no other world has ever been per
mitted to experience it.
Out of that one deep well of heaven
the shepherd will dip reunion for the
bereaved, wealth for the poor, health
for the sick, rest for the weary. And
then all the flock of the Lords sheep
will lie down in the green pastures, and
world without end we will praise the
Lord that on this first autuInnal Sab
bath of 1891 we were permitted to study
among the bleating iocks and lowing
herds of this fair ground the story Of
Jacob and Rachel the shepherdess at
the well in Mesopotamia. Oh, plunge
your buckets into this great Gospel
we'll and let them come up dripping
with water of which if a man drink he
never again shall thirst.

Things That Are Told.

Overstock a poor and weedy pasture
with sheep and fatten with bran and oil
meal. That's far better than blowing
and re-seeding, for if well managed il
kills out all weeds and enriches the field
while making little profit on the sheep,
says Farm Journal.
If there are any weeds in the lawn
that you are especially DESTROYS Of kill
ing, but which have heretofore proved
obstinate, cut them off just below the
crown while the weather is hot and dry.
and let the sun do the rest. This treat
ment is almost as effectual with weeds
as with grass, according to American
Agriculturist.
1t is pretty generally conceded now
that the most profitable age at which to
sell hogs is from to months, when
they will weigh from 200 TO 800 pounds
This is the practice of most of the best
swine breeders.
Skim and buttermilk can be fed to
chickens and hens to more advantage
than to pigs. Doing so pays better, and
the milk is greatly relished by the birds
The common puddle duck is of no
value compared with the pure breeds.
The Aylesbury, Rouen and Pekin ducks
not only give fair proportion of feath-
ers, but also produce large and desirable
carcasses.

New Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

The existence of the Phillips islands,
in the Pacific ocean, which has been
mooted among mariners for years and
finally discredited, has just been re
affirmed by the captains of the British
ships Lock Eek and Swanhilde, and
the little group is likely to be replaced
on marine charts.
Captain Pottendrigh. master of the
British ship Lock Eek, which cleared
this port in September last for Hiogo,
Japan, sighted the island in latitude s
deg. 6 min. north and longitude 140
deg. 20 min. in the south Pacific
ocean, and reported the facts of his
discovery to the branch photographic
office in the exchange in this city. He
reported the islands to be three in num-
Der. and to form n range in the path of
vessels plying to China and Japan run
ming in a southeasterly direction for six
or seven miles, being connected by low
lying rocks. 1t is believed that the
third island is of recent formation, hav-
ing come to the surface of the water
within the last six months, and the en-
tire group within the last year.
1t is thought they were of volcanic
origin, but a subsequent vessel, the
British ship Swanhilde, not only con-
firmed the position of the islands, but
also found them inhabited Captain
Markle, of the vessel, fully confirmed
the Lock Eek report.
While drifting off the island he was
surprised to see two canoe loads of ma
tives coming out to meet his vessel.
They spoke in some unknown language.
The party numbered thirty and all
were naked but for dry leaves around
their waists. Nearly every man was
tattooed in bright red colors, entirely
different from the manner of tattooing
in the United States. One of them,
who appeared to be chief, was marked
with an American flag, the stars reach
ing from the thigh to the knee and the
stripes from the knee downward

A Curiosity of Longevity.

A man who saw George Washington

of 1O6. The remarkable longevity which

vestigation of science. If the mere

Later trials with seed cut lengthwise
of the potato showed that system was the
most economical of any tried. The Ohio
station, in commenting on the above,
says it's own experiments are in general
accord with it. The largest crops have
come from whole seed, but the most
profitable crops have come from large
cuttings. Mr.. E. S. Carman's expert
ments led him to the conclusion that the
size of the seed to be planted should be
determined by the habits of the variety,
and not by any fixed rule. He considers
the advice to use whole seed as bad. for
while with some varieties it may be
sound, with others it will result in small
tubers every time. He advocates large
pieces containing two or three eyes as a
good general rule.
