a Duck Hunters Adventure.

Martin Boland, of North Lyme, had
~ exciting experience while duck shoot
ing Monday, and thanks his lucky stars
every morning for the fact that ho is
still in the land Of the living. He had
been about the mouth of Lords cove
nearly all the day and had met with fair
success, and had loaded his decoys into
his small duck boat, intending to start
home. Just then he heard the loud
"honk" Of wild geese, and n moment
later saw u flock of some twenty Of these
waterfowl settle in tho river about half
way from shore to shore.
He resolved to havo one OF these geese
ON his string, and attempted to scull
near enough to get shot. He kept his
eyes on the birds, and consequently did
not see Il huge cako of icc that was bear
ing down upon his craft. He realized it,
though, when u mass ground up against
the boat, overturning it and throwing
him into the chilly water. His gun, a
Colts breechloader, fell from his hand
and went to tho bottom of the river, and
is likely to remain there. Boland had a
hard fight, and when, aftera desperate
effort he succeeded in pulling himsclf
upon the leo. ho foil exhausted.
Ills danger WAS not past by any means,
as he had no means of gaining the Shore
and it was with Il heart full of anxiety
that he snw the distance between his
ice raft and shore rapidly diminish, un-
til seized by an eddy it whirled into the
shoal s.! water and he was safe.-IIartford

Difference in Hair,

The difference between straight and
curly hair is very apparent on a micro
s:opical examination. A hair is a hol-
low tube, and a straight hair is us sound
as a reed, while curly hair is always
fattened on both sides and curls toward
one of the flat sides, and never toward
the edge. 1t is Il curious and little
known fact that the hair of women is
coarser than that of men as well as
thicker OH tho scalp. In an average
head of hair there are about 10000 in
dividual hairs The hair seems to have
a life of its own, independent of that of
the man, for numerous instances are
known of the hair continuing to grow
after death. In one of the st. Louis
cemeteries u body of a lady was some
years ago disinterred for the purpose of
removing it elsewhere. When the coffin
was opened the entire cavity was filled
with IL mass of auburn hair which had
grown after tho interment had taken
place.-Interview in st. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Books Made of CLAW,

Far away beyond the plains of Meso-
potalnia, OH the banksn tho river Tigris,
lies the ruins of the ancient city of Nine
veh. Not long since huge mounds of
earth and stone marked tho place where
the palaces and walls of the proud capital
of the great Assyrian empire stood. The
spade and scraper, first of the French
and then Of the English, have cleared all
the Garth away and laid bare I'll that re-
mains of the old streets and palaces where
the proud princes Of Assyria walked and
lived, The gods they worshiped and
the books they read have all been revealed
to the sight of u wondering world
The most curious of all the curious
things preserved in this wonderful man
ner are the clay books of Nineveh. The
chief library Of the city was contained in
the palace of Kanyunjik. The clay books
which composed its contents were sets of
tablets covered with very small lette rs.
The tablets are all oblong in shape, and
when several of them are used for one
book the first line of the tablet following
was written at the end of the one pre-
ceding it. The writing was done when
the clay Of the tablet was soft, it WAS
then baked to harden it. Each tablet was
numbered just as librarians of today
number the books of which they have
charge.-St. Louis Republic.

They Don't Live in Tenement Houses


A yeung woman who, as the mission
ary Of an east side chapel, spends her
life administering to the physical and
spiritual wants of the poor people in her
parish, has hopeful view of the future
of the German immigrants, among
whom nearly all her work is done, She
says:
AS soon as tho children learn to speak
English they pick up American ideas,
and before long certain amount of
pride manifests itself. Acurious indica-
ton of this is that none of the English
speaking young people will admit that
they live i'll tenement houses. Ii you ask
them they will always tell you that their
home is in flat house, while a few have
reached a pitch of refinement where tho
dingy old buildings become apartment
houses.
If you went into some of the homes.
through the dark halls and up four or
five flights of rickety stairs, you might
ask yourself what a tenement house real
ly is. Tho young persons there, how
ever, will tell you that the ncbrews in
Essex and Ludlow streets live i'm tene-
ment houses. This prido may he false,
but it is akin to ambition, and will make
good American men and women of the
grandchildren of the imnligrants.-New
York Tribune.

The Feeding of Horses.

When it is remembered that the stom-
acil of a horse is really small in proper
ton to the size of his body, it will be
s'en that it requires feeding often-even
four times Il day. Unlike human be:
ings, horses should drink before eating.
and drink as much as they like. Owing
10 Il strange internal arrangement in a
horse, the water does not remain in the
stomach, but passes through into the
c:eculn-a large intestine.
If Il horse should be fed first ono can
readily see that the water in flowing
through would carry with it some of the
food, and thus produce collie. A horse,
if "watered" four times day, will never
take much-not too much. He is fed, it
must be remembered, upon dry food, and
that with the quantity of hard work done
would produce u feverishness which a
proper amount of water will very much
allay.--New York Ledger.

Laclsing I'm Enst cruiscrs.

France is very deficient in large unar-
morcd cruisers of recent type. Previous to
the laying down of the Tagc and Cecile in
1885 the only important steel cruiser
built or under construction was the
Sf;lx, of 4,500 tons, laid down in 1883
and completed in 1887. In 1885 the Tage
was besur Her displacement of 1850
tons mncn exceeded that of any unar-
mored cruiser then afloat. She was the
pioneer of the very large unarmored
cruiser, and tho idea has been widely
copied. Her projection was due to an
appreciation of the fact that only very
large vessels can sustain high speed in a
seaway, and if continuous high speed is
required large size is u necessity
Economists in all countries fought
strongly for smaller vessels, but the
facts bore too heavily against them.
When merchant vessels reached length
of $50 feet, $4,000 tons displacement and
sustained sea speed of over nineteen
knots in any ordinary weather, it was
useless to build commerce destroyers of
three or four thousand tons, no matter
what might be the speed of the latter in
smooth water
The latest cruisers designed by the
French carry thin vertical armor for
protection against high explosive shells.

An Airship to Cross tho Ocean.

A remarkable experiment is going on

party Of American scientists and arti-
sars arc constructing an airship which
is expected to cross tho ocean in seven
hours. Tho inventor, capitalists and
workers arc uearly all from Bridgeport,

invitation ran down there and saw a
mysterious mass of metal and machine
ry, Of which could mako nothing intel
igible. did SEQ models, however,
which rose from tho table and flew
around tho interior Of the great work
room, describing circles and curves at
the will Of the sender.
If tho complete ship does half as well
as the model it will revolutionize tho
world. Every workman is sworn TO ab-
solute secreoy, and thus far little or no
information as to what tho mechanism
is has reached the outside world. The
superintendent is Hiram Maxim, an
American inventor of ability. Next to
him are Mr.. House and his son, who are

= Tale of Summon Dnvs.


A tale of roses and roguery is waited
from the last midsummer days. 1t was
at seaside resort, and IL young man, a
veritable Prince Charming, before whom
all women go down and who cannot
help 'practicing" when he is near n
pretty girl, was at his usual occupation
devoted to several of them at once.
He counted, in fact, this time four VIC
tins to his attractions AS two, how
over, were at tho hotel on the beach and
the other pair in separate cottages in
different directions, he had managed to
make all happy without any clashing.
just before the season closed, however,
the fair cottagers went with their par
ents to pass few days at tho hotel en-
route to their city homes. Four sweet
hearts under one roof were too much for
even this clever campaigner. He con-
cluded that tho situation was too COM
plicated for him, and a prompt departure
was arranged for. The evening ho left
lie managed to SEQ each girl separately
and to murmur in her ear a tender tale
of love. He would take no decided an
swer then, but if his affection was re-
turned he begged her to wear at break
fast the next morning red rose which
he gently pressed upon her. The last in
terview took place about II p. m., and
the midnight train bore the young scamp
to New York.
AT the first meal on the following day
four young women appeared in the din
ins room with red roses thrust in tl,ei1
belts. Tho gay cavalier not presenting
himself the girls after time began to
compare notes, and all that worries those
deceived damsels is to know whether
their joint lover had any means to dis
cover how many of his roses were worn
at the breakfast table.-Her Point of
View in New York Times.
