The Goat and His Kind.

Did you know that the Latin name for
the goat is Copra? Well it is, and we
have some words which came from that
word Capra. Take the words caprice,
capricIous. We apply capricious to PEG.
pie. 1 wonder if those capricious people
would get angry if we should call them,
instead Of capricious, goat like? I think
they would, yet the words mean the
same thing, literally.
Take goats head between your hands,
you would better be sure of your goat
being gentle, however, or else take the
next thing to goat, I mean a kid, not a
boy or girl so called, but a really, truly
kid, to try your observations on.
Look intently into his face and you see
two big question marks, Interrogation
points. They begin at his nose and 60
right around his funny, green eyes.
These express his disposition. He is
inquisitiveness personifed. He is always
wondering "what is that?" Yet when
he answers his question for himself he
does not appear to know, not whit
more than he knew before. While be is
eating a string, or chewing up an old
newspaper, he sees somewhere else rag,
perhaps your calico dress, or your straw
hat, immediately he is seized with de-
sire 10 taste it. He runs as fest as his
legs will carry him, stops short and in
vestigates the thing in question. he
looks as thoroughly satisfied with his re.
suit that you sre amazed to see him, in
perhaps ten seconds, scampering off as
though his life depended upon his max
ing the fastest time on foot record. At
the end OF his run, and the run ends. to
your disgust, without any apparent rea-
con, he stops as short as does the tin man
who is wound up to wheel the toy wheel
barrow.
While you are trying to think of some
cause for his rapid run and dead stop. he
suddenly gives leap into the air add

THERE'S GAS IN wlcoMlco.
The Village of Parsonburg Stirred Vi
BY Big Discovery.


The inhabitants Of the little hamlet Of
Palsonsburg, in Wicomico county, few
miles east OF Salisbury, are wrought up
TO high state Of excitement over the
discovery in their midst Of 1atural gas
Last Friday morn lug John w. VIM
brow of Parsonburg village commenced
the driving of an inch and a-half pipe
for water at noon he had driven 1t
thirty seven feet in the ground He left
1t so until after diuner On resuning
work 10 the afternoon he removed the
cap from the head of the pipe to put on
another joint. AS soon as the cap was
taken eff he was startled by a peculiar
whizzing sound which proceeded from
the pipe. He also thought he detected
the smell of gas To verify his belief
that gas was escaping from the pipe he
touched lighted match to the end of
the pipe. when instantly a blue flame
spread out, the size of a mans broad
trimmed hat
The discovery was so sudden and an
expected that 1t almost took away Mr..
Wimbrow's breath. Slowly he learned
TO have more confidence in it and began
/ to treat IL with more familiarity, as no
| signs Of bad behavior were displayed by
the mysterious unseen agent. The neigh
bors, encouraged by the apparent docility
Of the 'ciitter,' slowly overcame the
fear which had been eli along a serious
impeachment TO the qualification OF a con
Stunning curiosity, and approached at first
| cautiously the wonder of all Parsonsburg
After awhile the news spread to other
parts and on last Monday afternoon 1t
reached Salisbury. A number of men
wished the place and Investigated to their
own satisfaction.
1t was found that the reports which
had gone out were well founded and not
overdrawn. On applying a match a
blaze shoots up Which will readily heat
iron to a white heat, but as an illumi-
nator 1t does not give the best results.
the light from 1t being less brilliant
than that from the ordinary gas let.
Many people from the surrounding
country are now visiting the place daily.
The source of gas and its nature are
unknown to thespeople hereabouts. Par
sonburg, for the most part. is located on
q sand ridge which marks the change In
the character and the elevation of the
land lying between the Poeomoke river
on the east and a change of lakes on the
west, which form the source of the
Wicomico river. Thirty-seven feet be.
low tho surface where this gas has been
found, Is no. much lower than the top OF
the ground 3 mile distant in several
directions
Mr. Nimbrow and his friends think
that thay are in the region of SONS
mineral, the presence of which is at.
tested by the gas Others incline to the
belief that a small quantity of gas has
been generated in this spot by the
chemical action of mari bed or
qusntity of vegetable matter imbeddec
in the sand. In some water which wal
