Lake Erie Drying Up.

Mr.. J. T. Wamelink had occasion to
visit the building inspectors office in
the city hall, and as one or two of the
officials are, like him, fond of hunting,
the conversation naturally turned to
that subject.
In speaking of the state of the water
in the marshes, Mr.. Wamelink said that
within few years the level of Lake
Erie had been reduced two feet. Mr..
Wamelink expressed the opinion that
the permanent lowering of the water
level was due to the constant increase in
the channel at Niagara falls, which per-
mitted a greater volume of water to roll
over the falls. He was Of the opinion
that, in order to preserve the proper
stage of water in the harbors of the lake,
it would yet become necessary for en-
gineers to raise the level of the Niagara
river. Inspector Morse stated that it
would be necessary to drop huge bowl
ders into the stream in order to accom-
plish that result. Cleveland Leader and

James Ryan, better known as Uncle
Jimmie, is now eighty-six years of age.
He has never lived outside of what are
now the confines of the state of Missouri.
Yet he was born a subject Of Spain.
When this territory was coded to France
Uncle Jimmie became Frenchman.
Afterward the territory was purchased
by the United States, and SO today Mr..
Ryan is an American citizen His has
been an eventful life, as he remarked at
the old settlers meeting, but the even
ing of his days is peaceful and his heart
is as young now as when he was a
Spaniard eighty-five years ago. Nevada

A Wonderful Dakota Rainbow.

DR.. McVean has arrived in the city
after tour of the country. The doctor
resides at Armour, s. D., and has much
to tell about that region. "Asfew days
ago." he said, ''the people, among the
number myself, witnessed one Of the
most remarkable phenomena seen in
that OF any other portion of the United
States. The phenomenon consisted of
the appearance of the northern lights
under remarkable circumstances. The
lights formed a regular rainbow and APP
peared at night. The bow extended the
whole length of the horizon and was
thirty feet wide. Everything was seen
on the broad prairie just as if it had
been lit up by electricity. The old set
tiers claim that such thing was noticed
in 1862, but not since."-St Louis Globe

A Club of Ocean Travellers.

Anumber of gentlemen in India, whose
business or pleasure calls them fire.
quently to England, have formed them
selves into what may be termed a trav-
elers' cooperative association. with the
object of lessening the expense of their
voyages to and from the east. The SUBJ
scription to this ocean club is to be $50
rupees, payable in monthly installments
of ten rupees, there being no annual
payment, and members will have the
privilege of free return passage once
in three years, paying simply for the
bare cost of their food on board. Should
a member not be able to take his turn
when it comes round, he can sell his
passage ticket for anything he can get
for it, not exceeding the total cost of
membership. A steamer replete with all
the latest improvements is to be built
specially for the association, and it is
proposed that the first journey to this
country shall be made in January. 1893.

FIVE CENTS.


AS the school season advances. tho
subject of mental overpressure becomes
important enough not only for parental
consideration, but for scientific investi-
cation. The capacity of the child, the
number and nature of the studies, and
especially the length of the recitations,
are features which ought not to be over
looked or be left to the direction of edu-
Gators. That much can be gained by
experimental study of overpressure, is
shown by a paper read by DIR. Burger
stein, of Vienna, before the congress of
hygiene in London, upon "The Working
Curve of an Hour" The writer had for
his object the study of the mental power
of children, and he arranged his expert
ments with view to demonstrating the
fluctuations of brain power in children
during one hours occupation with ia
miliar subject.
Simple addition and multiplication
sums were given to two classes of girls,
of an average age of eleven years and
eleven years and ten months, and two
classes of boys of the average age of
twelve years and two months and thir-
teen years and one month. After ten
minutes work the sums were taken away
from the children. After pause of ten
minutes the work was resumed, the al
formation continuing for an hour, so
that there were three periods of work.
The results were interesting. During
the whole experiment. the 1852 children
worked out 1900 figures, making 6,504
mistakes. 1t was found that the num-
Der of mistakes increased in the differ
emit periods, and that during the third
period the quality of work was at the
lowest.-Boston Journal.

The sparrow,s Bath.

Have you ever noticed the pugnacious
little English sparrow perform his morn
ing ablution? He hunts up street
sprinkling cart, takes his position in
front Of it and stands there like drum
major close to the wheel as the cart goes
by. After receiving the full force of the
water, he again takes his place in front
and again awaits the on coming Of the
cart. This is repeated until the little
fellow is satisfied with his cleanliness.

Plenty of Game.

Now that the game law is off, our
woods will swarm with hunters of all
descriptions, from the "cockney" sports
man down Tor up) to the professional
hunter. There are generally four hunt
ers to one bird, and we have known men
tramping all day and bringing home two
or three little chipping birds. 1t is this
class of hunters who do the most damage,
rs they are not capable of shooting game
birds, and pepper away at any and every
little bird they see, till there are hardly
any left. Our local hunters say that there
will be plenty of game this season. Gen
orally speaking we have fair, mild win
ter, very little crust on the snow and but
few ice storms.
The severe ice storms destroy more
quail than the hunters kill, because quail
generally roost together on the ground,
and if snow falls during the night and
crusts over, it simply smothers them.
Hunters have found whole focks of
them lying close together, having been
unable to penetrate through the crust.
There were never so many focks Of quail
around as at present. Go where you
will you will find them. A large flock
passed over the fair ground Wednesday
afternoon while the trotting took place,
which made some of our hunters mouths
water.
Partridges are also very plenty, and,
what is still better, they are full grown
and plump. OF woodcock we have seen
but few. Years ago they were plenty
every season in our swamps, but the
summer shooting has killed them off,
and but very few breed in our swamps
now. The fall fight generally brings
few scattering ones, but as they are
migratory bird and fly principally dur
ing the nighttime, we get but now and
then a chance to shoot at them. There
are also plenty Of foxes, and our hunters
don't need to go very far to find them if
they only know how, as Reynard is
cunning and sly chap Watertown On.

One of our neighbors had sail on his
lawn mower one day last week. At any
rate it looked like sail, for he had sew
eral square feet of canvas attached to
the back side of the machine, and people
thought he was trying to have regatta
all to himself. However, closer investi-
cation showed that his sail was simply a
large bag into which the cut grass was
thrown instead of falling on to the
ground. He was quite happy over his
continuance, because he didn't have to
rake his lawn after he had cut the grass.

William the ConquerOr Liked Oysters.
In Denmark and the northern parts of
our island kitchen middens of the Stone
age yield oyster shells, and Professor
Forbes affected to pity ''the enthusiastic
oyster eater, who can hardly gaze upon
the abundantly entombed remains of the
apparently wellfed and elegantly shaped
oysters of our Eocene formation without
chasing "a pearly tear away"
We cannot believe that oysters ever
went out of fashion with our ancestors.
"Ostre" occurs in Anglo-Saxon and
seems to be connected with ''ost," a
knot, q scale. William the Conqueror
is said to have esteemed the English
oyster very highly, and it figures in the
menu of many medieval feasts, espe-
cially in Lent. London Saturday Re-

A Banana Tree That Bears.

Mr.. l.. Gillen has genuine curiosity
in the form of banana tree, ten feet
tall, bearing one bunch of bananas. He
has q number Of other banana trees, but
none bearing fruit save this one. The
leaves are long and slender. and the mo-
ton of the wind causes the leaf to cut in
two like ribbons. Until the suns rays
cause the bud to open it much resembles
large red water lily bud tightly closed.
This covering drops off in time, leaving
the fruit lying closely side by side to
ripen. (Mo.) News.

Mrs. Harriet Cheesman Dead


Mrs. Harriet Cheesman, widow OF
the late John Cheesman, Sr., died at
her home, No. 80 Cedar street, on
Wednesday night last, at the advanced
age of SO years and six months.
As was stated in the PIONEER sew
eral weeks ago, Mrs. Cheesman tripped
and fell on the floor one evening, when
she was about to retire, and sustained
fracture of one of the small bones at
the hip joint, from which she was rem
dered helpless, and remained SO, with
intense suffering until her death.
Mrs. Cheesman was the widow of
Robert Poole, who died many years
ago, when she married Mr.. Cheesman.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pool resided on South
Laurel and Mulberry streets. One son,
Samuel B. Poole, of Millville, survives
her.
Mrs. Cheesmen since girlhood has
been CONSTANT member of the Meth

BURGLARY! /!
MORE BURGLARS AT WORK.
Robbins Grocery Store ON North
Laurel Street BurglariZed
Sunday Night.

Another robbery That is the news
on Monday, and it takes place right
in the heart of the town, as usual,
under the very noses of the police Off
GERS, SO to speak. The grocery store of
w. w. Robbins, ON North Laurel street,
in his bloek adjoining the First Pres
byterian Church, was entered by
thieves and goods and money stolen to
the estimated value of $100.
The thieves made an entrance by
breaking out the transom over ihe door
in the rear of the store, climbing in and
unlocking the door. They had evi-
IDENTIFY got accese to the lot in rear OF
the store by climbing over the fepce
alongside of the church. They were
not careful about their entrance, as
they smashed out the transom and let
the glass crash upon the floor regard
less of any noise it might make.
They took couple of hams, some
flour, all the tobacco and cigars in the
store, canned goods and other grocer
les, coffee sack, and all the money in
the cash drawer, which they succeeded
in finding the combination Of, and
opened without breaking it.
Mr.. Robbins estimated his loss at
about $1OO, and while he did not SO
much mind the money value of the loss,
he was very severe upon the police
system of the city, which is SO econom.
ical that, when the two guardians of
the city's safety at night may be look
ing after the opposite extremes OF the
city at the dead hour of the night, bur-
glars may be getting in their work in
the centre of the town.
There seems to be no trace of the
robbers, or where they went. 1t was
thought they had a team to carry off
their plunder.

A Delightful Party.

Sheriff and Mrs. E. Whitecar gave a
very delightful party to g. number of
his friends Thursday night, at his home
on Broad street. The party of guests
came early and were given most ex-
cellent oyster and poultry supper.
After the collation. there was a Jolly
social time. Hon. Robt. Moore, one of
the guests, Was in q particular happy
frame and created great amount of
amusement. Hiram Paullin had been
married fifty-fve years yesterday and
Daniel Bacon thirty-fve years the
same date. Mr.. Moore thought that
it would be a good thing to marry
these people over again and the cere-
mony was really novel, wonderful and
unlike any other form laid down in
any text book known. There were
other interesting features which it
would be we'll to write about
but space forbids. Those present
were:
Hon. Robert More and wife, Hen.

AN INSULTING WRETCH.
He Approaches and Insults La
dies.


There has been some considerable
complaint coming from ladies who are
on the streets at night, of men who ap-
proach and insult them. One of the
boldest of these insults was made Fri
day night about fifteen minutes of ten
O'Clock. A young colored woman, of
excellent reputation, who lives as do
mestic in g. West Commerce street
house, was going up Commerce street
hill. A white man, rough in appear
ance, with q slouch hat on, wear
ing light overcoat, and carrying an
umbrella under his arm, approached
the young woman. When just in front
Of the Ivy Hall, the man stepped in
front of her, and made an insulting
proposal. The lady at once called out
loudly, and the despicable wretch
wheeled around, and hurried across
the street, down Atlantic street, be-
fore he could be distinguished by O.
gentleman near by. Ladies should
take particular notice of these people,
and from some description, it is not
unlikely that arrests and punish ment
will follow.
