ONE MEMBERSHIP.

ssMr. Merrill, your membership is
out"
ssWhat membership"
Membership In the Young Mems
Christian Association, SIR"
s.Oh, well, never mind II il isl
nBut we hope you will renew, sir"
"You do, hey2'' Mr.. Merrill,
pleasant-faced, elderly gentleman,
smiled good humoredly at the active
young secretary who had accosted him.
Eyes, cir, we don't want any Of our
members to drop OUT
"Well, now, you don't believe young
mems institution amounts to much for
me, do your"
ssPerhaps not. But we look to sHch
as you to help us along. The institution
has rather hard work keeping alive in a
town of this size"
II dare say. And believe in it, If
don't go much further than that. Here
two dollars? Well, there's five. /
guess it will be well spent"
s'But, look here. SIR the secretary
called after Mr.Merrill as he was hurry
ing away, ssthis is enough for two mem
berships aud more. Wouldn't you like
to take out membership for some one
else? 1t would entitle some young
man TO all the benefits OF the associa-
tion.D
~ have no young relatives here"
s'Some one else, then. Any one who
may occur to you"
II don't think of any one. Stop,
though. You take young fellows by
the hand and give them word of
cheer, don't you? Yes Il have heard
of your ways and they are good ways,
although ] have never taken much
stock myself In such work. There's
poor, spiritIess-l looking wight of fell
lew at work in store opposite my Of
fee stranger, guess, and looks as If
he hadn't friend In the wide world.
1t really depresses me to catch a glimpse
of him. Suppose you take him?'
ssI'll send MIN the card OF member
ship then. What name?''
sob, bother! You have to have a
name, do you? or course you do. Well,
don't know what his name is.
perhaps you'll speak to him, telling
him of your kindly Intentions"
mo, / won't. You needn't let him
know where the membership comes
from. Let him think it's from u better
hand than mine."

Cabbage Palm Trunks for Submarine Use.
One hundred thousand running feet of
palmetto logs will be shipped right away
from Brunswick to Santiago, Cuba. This
is new article of export from this state,
and bids fair to become an important
factor in increasing Brunswiclzs already
enormous timber and lumber trade
Mr.. w. F. Carnegie, the millionaire
iron man, is largely interested in an iron
mine near Santiago, and the order was
made by his company. A great part of
the timber is to be used in the construc-
ton of cribs to inclose harbor near the
mines in which ships can load. The rest
will be converted into piles for building
a railroad across quite large body of
water.
A gentleman well informed in such
matters said that this material would
last an indefinite length of time under
water, but could not very well stand ex-
posure to the air. 1t is almost proof
against the attack of worms, and is en-
tirely free from barnacles. And while
it will no doubt finally succumb to these
two destroying agencies, yet there can
be no doubt of its lasting at least twice
as long under water as any other kind OF
wood. d.-Brunswick Times.

SPECIALISTS Increasing.

people demand more from doctor
nowadays" said a physician who is
thinking OF retiring on his fortune,
ethan they did when began to build
up my practice. That is, they demand
more in some ways and not so much in
others. Not many years ago it would
have been as much as doctors reputa-
ton was worth to say to patient: Now,
look here, my dear sir, know what's the
matter with you, but would rather not
treat you myself. There is DIR. B
across the way, who makes a speciality
of the disorder you have contracted, and
he can treat you better than can for
that reason. He may not cure you, of
course, but in any case you will then
feel that you have had the best advice
available Now, fortunately, can give
such advice, and do every week of my
life, without being thought any less
skillful a physician by my patients. But
at the same time the profession is run
ming toward specialists, in the cities any
way, and for a doctor who began as
had to do to cover the whole field of ills
that flesh is heir to, the amount of skill
and experience and special training that
people require from their physicians is
felt to be trifle burdensome New

rhe Youth,s Knou1edce.

Is it that the average youth of today
knows more geography in a minute than
his father, when he was schoolboy,
knew in ten years, or is it that the father
forgot nearly all of his knowledge i'm
mediately after closing the covers of his
big geography? However that is, one
thing is certain-that nine youngsters
out of ten who can't count so many years
as they have fingers can "foor" their
whole grown up families on mountains,
lakes, rivers and streams, cities, towns
and villages and boundaries. They not
only do this persistently and uncompro-
misingly, but they take particular de-
light in making their Sisters callers
flush to the roots of their hair with their
terribly erudite questions. York

The Vice of Id1eness

1t is exceedingly difficult to under
stand the cause of this vice, or of its re-
ported increase, but we incline to be-
Heve that while it is in few a sort of
disease, it is in the majority nothing but
a low form of selfshness, durable only
by punishment, whether the natural
punishment of starvation or an artificial
one. The man hates the self suppression
involved in work just as a savage does,
but he can suppress himself if lie chooses,
and invariably does choose, if for any
reason he passes under the terrible
though avoidable discipline of a convict
prison. The compulsion which usually
falls upon the idle takes the form of bad
food, bad lodging and want of tobacco,
and it is not sufficient.
Such wants are all horrible things, but
they are none of them so horrible as
steady work, which presses and tortures
and almost maddens the really idle, Just
as civilization, which is its essence, is a
multitude of small restraints, does the
savage. They will not put up with the
suffering for the time necessary to teach
them that it is endurable, and will
rather break away into the desert, often a
street, where there are only bread to eat
and water to drink and no shelter, but
where there also is no work to do.-Lon-
don Spectator.

An Eagles Big Contract.

John Bettorf, of Crawford county,
Mo-, heard terrible cackling among his
geese, and on going to ascertain the
cause discovered that an immense gray
eagle had buried its talons in a large
gander which with others was swim
ming on pond in the field. The eagle
was unable to rise with its prey, while
the gander struggled hard to escape.
Bettorf ran to the edge of the pond,
and the gander at once SWAN to his mas
ter's feet, who caught the eagle by the
neck and legs and held it under water
until it was nearly drowned. He then
removed its talons from the back of the
gander and conveyed it to coop, where
it soon recovered and became as active
and as well as ever. The gander, how
ever, was so severely injured that it died
few days after. The eagle measured
nearly seven feet from tip to tip of
wings.-Cor. st. Louis Globe-Demoerat

curious weather yanes.

There is q tiny village in New Hamp-
shire which takes special pride in its
weather vanes, and it certainly can boast
\ great variety of ingeniously contrived
and weather and wind proof specimens
Of these useful articles.
They were evidently designed not only
for use, but for ornament, and there is
scarcely a barn of any size which is not
decorated with weather vane of =
more or less complicated workmanship.
Most of these vanes were made many
years ago by an old man who took
great delight IN carving the queer fig
ures and planning their arrangement so
they would go through various motions
1t Is said that he was in the habit of
trying" a figure, when he had COM
pleted it, ON his own barn, and then
when he became satisfied that it worked
properly he would carry it with great
pride to the farmer who had ordered it
There is one which still stands guard
over a barn that has long since been de-
serted by its owners, who have left the
lonely farm to seek their fortunes at the
west. It is the figure of a soldier, whose
uniform is greatly faded from years of
exposure, but whose gun still indicates
the quarter from which the wind is
blowing by its position. Its evotutions
when the wind is, as the weatherwise
farmers say, backing or hauling" are
quite interesting.
The are animals of different kinds,
such as cows, horses, pigs and bears,
which are used as vane figures, and
point with their heads, legs or tails, as
the case may be. One figure of horse,
which has long since left its best days
behind it, presents startling effect from
the fact that horsehair tail has been
inserted in the place of the old wooden

chapman,s Pointer Cat.

Chapman Vanluvanee is fond of shoot
ing English sparrows with a small cal
fbsr rifle. He has handsome gray cat
that always accompanies him in the ca
pacity of a retriever. When Mr.. Van
luvanee halts beneath tree and elevates
his rifle, the cat always locates the game,
and generally nabs his sparrow the mo
ment the bird touches the ground. An
other peculiar trait in the animals nat
ure is that he will not touch any other
variety of bird, having cultivated an ex-
elusive taste for English sparrows.-
