NOTES FROM PRIDE OF TIE HILL.
CHIEF Ranger Kennedy has the support
of the majority in his stand. Several of
the members are organizing literary
and dramatic society. There is some
good material on hand. and there Is no
reason why good society cannot be or
ganized. The boys are glad TO see Mr.. q.
T. Husteet back again. The entertain
ment committee is making arrangements
for an excursion to take place in July.
Chris Wertheim has not been seen at the
meetings for over three months. Come,
Chris, the boys are anxious to see you.
Brother Daniel Smith made neat speech
at the meeting Tuesday evening. The
Alderman broke his ankle while skating
a few DAYS ago. He has the sympathy Of
his brother members. The new members
still keep coming in at the rate of four
and five every meeting. The members
say this is due to their chief. Some OF
the members say the court needs a new
deputy. One OF the faithful officers of
the court is James Farmer, the financial
secretary. He is seldom absent from the
meetings.

TIE POLITICAL TWINS.

Next Tuesday Nights Election Among
the McLaugh1ins-That Big Ball.
Well, the election will take place next
Tuesday night aud it's going to be sur
prise, too. There are any number Of
members who are anxious to be President,
but the contest will be narrowed down to
four, namely, Minihan, Wiseinan, Cook
and Calamity Burke.
Last week I said didn't think Wise
man would be in it. His friends think
otherwise, though, ana he is candidate
till the vote is counted.
Jimmie is conservative sort of chap,
in every way capable, and il chosen
would make good President.
But there is no gainsaying Minihan's
strength. He was one of the organizers
of the old Union Club, the members of
which are with him to man. The
standard bearer will place him in nomin-
alton for second term and its only right
and just he should get it.
Johnpie Mitchell and Pierce Flemming
have been willing all week to offer odds
on Calamity's chances. But the best
thing they eau do is to keep their money
in their pockets; if they don't those new
Easter suits will be in the soup

A good story IS told at the expense of
Richard j. At the beginning of Lent it
was mutually agreed between himself

carrying out the agreement that he
woaldn't read the theatrical column in

He looked so excited Jim gave him the
money, and he ran back, got two seats,

Weighing Machines.

Weighing machines aud scales Of some
kind were in use 1900 b. c., for it is
said that Abraham at that time weighed
out" 400 shekcls of silver, current money,
with the merchant to Ephron, the Hit
tite, as payment for piece OF land, in-
Guiding the cave and all the standing
timber Sin the field and in the fence.'
This is said to be the earliest transfer of
land OF which any record survives, and
that the payment was made in the pres
ence Of witnesses. The original form of
the weighing scale was probably bar
suspended from hemiddle, with board
or she'll suspended from each end, one to
contain the weight, the other to contain
the matter to be weighed The steel
yard was probably so called from the una
terial of which it was made, aud from its
former length 1t is also known as the
Roman balance, and is Of great antiquity.

Ancient Inks.

The ink first used probably was some
natural animal pigment, such as the
black fluid obtained from various species
of cuttlefish; but the limited supply of this
material soon led to the use of chemical
mixture of water, gum and hanback,,
and the characters were painted rather
than written, by means of a broad
pointed reed.
As ink of this simple nature was easily
removed from the surface of the parch-
ment by the mere application of moisture,
it was carly found necessary. to contrive
some means OF forming a more durable
ink, and for this purpose the expedient
was adopted Of treating the mixture with
some SUI .ancc such as vinegar, of the
nature OF mordant, which would pene-
trate the parchment written upon, aud
form an ink not liable to fade.
A chemical dye, consisting of an in
fusion of gals with sulphate of iron, was
afterward used, as from its vitrious ma
ture it hit into the medium employed ;
but a compound vegetable ink, contain.
ing a good deal of carbon pigment, was
subsequently adopted, and was very
generally employed down to the middle
ages.
With ink of this sort the best and most
ancient manuscripts which have been pre-
served TO us were written, aud the sepa'
rate leaves, after being allowed to dry
slowly, were bound together in vol
umes.
Pliny and VitruYius, as well as other
writers, give receipts for the manufac-
turc Of inks, CA4mJeiss J0HrRaL,

Fine Points in Cannibalism.

1t was formerly supposed that the
relish with which certain savage tribes
ate their enemies arose from the gratif-
cation of the passion of revenge. With
in the last few years, however, it has
been clearly shown that some of the bar
barian man-eaters are really fond of hu-
man flesh for its own sake-that they
enjoy it as a civilized epicure enjoys
turtle soup or roasted ortolans. Your
FIJI Islander thinks the greatest praise
he can bestow upon any edible is to say
that it is "as tender as dead man."
The Fijians have plenty of provisions,
but they consider "long pig'-their
pleasant name for human flesh-much
finer than pork, beef or mutton.
The New Zealanders, on the other
hand, do not consider mans flesh as
delicacy, but eat dead heroes and 'wise
men" (whether they have been friends or
enemies makes no dilference), with the
idea that they imbibe the valor and in
tellectual qualities of the deceased dur
ing the process.
The "noble savage" of Terra del
Fuego never eats any of his own people,
except when other meat is remarkably
scarce, although always ready to "take
in" the shipwrecked stranger. In severe
winters, if we are to believe the story of
II British admiral (Fitzroy), the Terra
del-Fuegons, "when they can obtain no
other food, take the oldest woman of
their party, hold her head over a thick
smoke, made by burning green wood,
and, pinching her throat, choke her, 1"
after which she is served up to her
friends. The barbarians, on being asked
why they did not eat their dogs instead
of their old ladies, naively answered that
their dogs caught otters, but that their
venerable grandmothers and aunts did
not.
Probably the majority of even the
lowest order of savages prefer fish aud
yams to human flesh, but it is ncverthe-
less true that there are several tribes in
Australasia, Africa and the South Sea
islands that actually banker after it.
There is some consolation, however,
in the assurance given us by travellers
that most of these anthropophagi prefer
colored persons to Caucasians as table
luxuries. This fact is certainly encour-
aging 10 the missionary interest. .-NetO

WISE WORDS.

The more important an animal is to be
the lower is its start. Man, the noblest,
is born the lowest.
Without seeking, truth cannot be
known at all; and seeking it can be dis
covered by the simplest.
Grief is not to be measured by the tears
shed, nor does the loudest mourner de-
serve the largest bequest.
Every incomplete work is a monument
to human folly. Whatever is worth be-
ginning is worth ending.
She was regal, she was naughty, she
was highborn and distinguished; and like
the rest of us, she was clay.
In things pertaining to enthusiasm no
man Is sane who does not know how to
be insane on proper occasions.
1t is the crushed grape that gives out
the blood red wine; it is the suffering
soul that breathes the sweetest melodies.
Each man can learn something from
his neighbor; at least he can learn this
to have patience with his neighbor, to
live and let live.
Think you that judgement waits till
the doors of the grave are opened2 1t
waits at the doors of your houses, 1t waits
at the corners of your streets.
'Tis nature has fashioned some for am
bition and dominion, and it has formed
Others for obedience and submission.
The leopard follows his nature as the
lamb.
Good thoughts are blessed guests, and
should be heartily welcomed, we'll fed
and much sought after. Like rose leaves,
they give out sweet smell if laid up in
the jar OF memory.
Life is not made up of great sacrifices
or duties, but of little things, in which
smiles and kindness and small obligations
given habitually are what preserve the
heart and secure comfort.
To be full of goodness, full of cheer
fulness, full of sympathy, full of helpful
hope; causes a man to carry blessings of
which he is himself as unconscious as a
lamp is of its own shining.
Nothing can leasen the dignity and
value of humanity so long as the relig-
ion Of love, OF unselfishness and devotion
endures; and none can destroy the altars
of this faith for us SO long as we feel
ourselves still capable of love.

illustrated by the recent incident in the
harbor of San Diego, CAL, when Chiliau
cruiser belonging to the insurgents Gu
tered the bay, anchored, took on board
recruits, supplies of provisions, ammu.
milton, and then sailed away. This ship,
under the laws of nations, was in fact
piratical vessel, and as such was seized
by the Government authorities at San
Diego, and United States vessel placed
on board and in possession. But the
Chilian rebels paid no attention to the
laws of the United States; they may be
said to have captured the place. When
they had obtained all the supplies they
wanted to assist them in carrying on war
against friendly nation, they upheaved
anchor aud steamed away, carr ryiug off as
prisoner the official represen tative of
the great republic. This was a small ship
called the Itata, carrying four guns.
There is nothing to prevent the Chiian
rebels from sending in other boats to
capture OF lombard San Diego or other
towns along the coast. Indeed, while
the Itata was taking on supplies at San
Diego, other vessels of the rebels were
lowering outside the har6or. We have
no navy worthy of the name, and nearly
all our seaports are without proper de-
fenses. Like Sln Diego, they are at the
mercy of any single piratical boat that
} chooses to enter. This is a very humil-

Weight on Various Planets.

On Jupiter, which is a much larger
and heavier body than the earth, a man
would weigh about 4S4 pounds whose
weight on the earth would be 200 pounds,
This man would weigh 21S pounds on
Saturn. Coming to the smaller bodies
we find that he would weigh less than
on the earth. His 200 pounds would
shrink to Ia On Venus, to ninetY.two
on Mercury, to sixty on Mars, and to
thirty on the moon, while on the little
asteroids, or telescope planets revolving
between Mars and Jupiter, his weight
would be from two to four pounds only.

Snakes Attack Il S lan of Horses.

While Frank Oldham, young farmer
living southeast of Pendleton, Ind, was
narrowing piece of new ground he
aroused from slumber two ugly and enor-
nous black snakes, measuring about
twelve feet, that Immediately showed
fight. They first made rush at the
young man and tried to coil themselves
around his legs, but he escaped from their
Shiny embrace and made for the fence at
rapid rate, closely pursued by the SER
pent. When the snakes saw that Frank
was out of their reach on the fence, they
returned to the horses, which had been
left standing, still attached to the har-
row. Soon the horses were noticed to
be rearing and kicking and performing
acrobatic feats that would surpass Bar
NUNS trained equines.
The man, mastering up has courage,
armed himself with n fence rail and
fastened to the relief of his team. He
found one reptile coiled around the fore
leg of one horse, and the other snake
around one of the hind legs of the other
horse. The serpents struck the defence
less animals repeatedly, while the air re-
sounded with Il peculiar Kissing noise.
After a struggle of about thirty minutes
the farmer succeeded in heating off the
reptiles and releasing the scared team.
He then mounted the harrow aud chase
commenced, the horses at full speed
dragging the harrow aud Frank with the
snakes in close pursuit. The fleeing
team raised cloud Of dust, aud when it
reached the opposite side of the field the
snakes were lost to view. A party with
guns and clubs was quickly organized to
search for the snakes, but was unable to
find them. -IadtaaaD0lis Journal.
