Oiling a HiChMaYma an.

There used to be-and may be yet
on the Las Cruces division of the Santa
Fee railway an engineer known as big
Jack Long" One night Jack was alone
at his engine, oiling up the machine,
while the rest of his crew, like the pas
sengers, were at supper in the dingy
eating house. The train was a long one,
and the engine was well away from the
little cluster of buildings. Suddenly
Throw up your handsr' was growled
at him, and Jack found himself looking
into gun in the hands of hard look
ing citizen.
The fellow demanded money, and
Jack began to argue, protesting that he
had but dollar in his pockets, and that
to take that were cruelty, since it was
meant to pay for his supper. Yes, the
marauder was determined to have the
sack, even if it had but single dollar.
During the discussion Jack slipped his
hand from bulb to nozzle of the long
machinist's oiler and edged around the
head of the locomotive, finally backing
across the track, closely followed by the
temporizing holder up.
When the man was SO well into the
glare of the headlight as to guide jack
address, this worthy promptly laid over
his head with the heavy oiler for a
bludgeon, and when the victims yells
had drawn forth the supping contin-
gent, Jack had beaten his assailant al
most senseless and stood, weapon in
hand, looking down at him and saying
grimly, ''Well! l guess I've got you so
well oiled up that you won't run hot
again for one while!"-San Francisco

The Growth of Seaweed.

Seaweeds vary surprisingly in their
habits of life. Some species grow alto
gether beneath the water, attaching
themselves below the lowest tide level;
others frequent heights where they are
left dry at every retreating tide. while
others yet are found in situations where
they are scarcely ever covered by water
Whereas most of them attach them
selves to rocks or solid bottom. keeping
to the shadows, there are exceptions to
the rule, among which the most remark
able is the ''sergasso," or ''gulf weed, !"
which floats on the surface of the ocean.
Immense fields of it are seen by the
navigator, extending as far as the eye
can reach. 1t is sometimes so abundant
as seriously to interfere with the prog
reSs of ships, and it was this which so
alarmed the crew of Columbus on his
first voyage of Interview in
Washington Star.

A Freak Egg,

Farmer Corseglia, of south Jersey, has
a rather neat thing in the way of freak
eggs, the production of one of his Cochin
hens. What the hen tried to do was to
lay two eggs at once, but she only par
TALLY succeeded. Having produced one
complete egg correct in size and shape,
she managed, in trying instantly to dupli-
cate it, to inclose it in flexible sack of
semiopaque skin, which also contained
the complete yolk and white of another
egg. The effect was therefore that of a
hard egg and an egg that has been
dropped out of its shell, both inclosed in
seamless bag about four inches long
and two inches wide.
After accomplishing this very unusual
feat Farmer COrseglia's Cochin hen
raised such a disturbance in order to
call attention to her achievement that
she was set upon by half the feathered
inhabitants of the barnyard and forced
to roost ON the henhOuse roof to escape
their jealous wrath. The row having
attracted farm hands notice, he in
vestigated the cause and the Cochin's
prize production was carefully placed in
a cigar box filled with bran and taken
to Farmer Corseglia.- Philadelphia Rec

The American pie has triumphed.
There was a time when pie was in dis
grace. 1t was considered an indigesti-
ole and inexcusable culinary connection.
In England, where it was almost tanta-
mount to misprision of treason to sug-
gest that plum pudding is too rich to be
healthful, pie-except perhaps mince
pie, which is as rich and dubious as
plum pudding-was tabooed. But, like
the oppressed of all nations, it found
shelter in America. There were New
England housewives who made pies
which We're delicious and comforting to
the inner man, and the pumpkin pie be-
came associated with the festival Of
Thanksgiving in a manner altogether
honorable to those who were responsible
for making and uttering" it.
Then arose the great American philos-
opher, Emerson, the most essentially
classic type of man who has fourished
in this western world, and Emerson ate
pie three times day. DR.. johnson used
to say that 'the man who drinks beer
thinks beer" Ralph Waldo Emerson
ate pie and thought philosophy. The

Savage Legends.

The savage islanders of the south
Pacific believe that the world is cocoa
nut shell of enormous dimensions, at
the top of which is single aperture
communicating with the upper air,
where human beings dwell. At the
very bottom of this imaginary shell is a
stem gradually tapering to point which
represents the beginning of all things.
This point is spirit or demon without
human form, whose name is, "Root of
All Existence" By him the entire
fabric of creation is sustained.
In the interior of the cocoanut shell,
at its very bottom, lives female demon.
So narrow is the space into which she is
crowded that she is obliged to sit for
ever with knee and chin touching. Her
name is The Very Beginning" and
from her are sprung numerous spirits.
They inhabit five different floors. into
which the great cocoanut is divided.
From certain of these spirits mankind
is descended. The islanders, regarding
themselves rs the only real men and
women, We're formerly accustomed to
regard strangers as evil spirits III the
guise of humanity. whom they killed

Billiards Without Balls.

According to an eye witness peculiar
incident happened one evening recently
in the billiard room Of a hotel at Tacoma,
Wash. The room was crowded and all
of the billiard and pool tables were oc-
cupied but one. Two gentlemen en-
tered the room attired in full evening
dress. Engaging billiard table the
boy brought the balls, but the players,
to his utter establishment, told him they
did not need them. Removing their
topcoats, coats and hats, they took cues
and commenced mimic game.
They made the customary moves
around the table, studied apparent
plays, made the usual grimaces at
misplays, and regularly counted their
strings. A wondering crowd gathered
about them. They thought the men
were crazy. A funny part of it was
that they never smiled, took the ''guy-
ing Of the crowd serenely and, when
the points were marked up, paid for the
game and unconcernedly walked out.
The solution of the mystery was that
the imitation game was played on {,

veterans went to the hospital through a

present to do honor to the dead man.

and during that time they felt as though
highly charged with electricity. The

BlOOmed in an Hour.

A Belfast gentleman woke about 4:43
a. M. Sunday and glanced out the win
dow at the clock on the Unitarian
church, as was his custom of a morning,
to see what time it was. Having found
out he turned over for another nap. The
next time he awoke he again glanced
toward the steeple and was surprised to
find that the budding leaves in the trees
between his house and the clock had
burst forth to such an extent that they
shut out the clock so that he was unable
to barely see the large face, let alone the
hands. He was telling this circumstance
to neighbor later in the day, when the
latter said he, too, noted the fact, as he

An Ancient Tragedy.

Interested in the recent discovery in
New Zealand of an extensive deposit Of

called moas.

through slight depression in field

ner.
1t was evident that these great birds,
which were much larger than the mod
ern ostrich, varying in height from ten
to fourteen feet, had persisted there by
wholesale. An enormous quantity of
smooth quartz pebbles. which they had
carried in their crops, was found with
the skeletons There were also found
the remains Of extinct species of other
large birds.
Various explanations have been sug
gested to account for the destruction of
such an army of powerful birds. One
theory is that they were overwhelmed
by a great storm, and that their remains
were heaped together by the combined
action of wind and water.
What renders the question still more
puzzling is the fact that collections of
moa skeletons, mingled with those of
other giant birds, have been found in
similar situations elsewhere in New Zea-
land
Students of geology are aware that
evidence is sometimes found in the rocks
of the sudden destruction Of great num-
bers of animals that formerly existed on
the earth, and the resemblance of such
cases to this Of the New Zealand moas
is interesting.-Youth's Companion.

Waiting for the Funeral to Pass

The passengers on one of the traction
cable cars fumed the other day when
the gripman stopped the car to wait for
the passing of a funeral. It took ten
minutes for the last carriage to roll by,
for it was an unusually long procession.
As they slowly rolled past, two of those
in tie car gave vent to feelings in some
such manner as this: Ibid you ever see
such foolishness:" mo, not foolishness,
but superstition. DO you think so:
"Pshaw, can't you see by that gripman's
face that he is superstitious? What else
can you expect from him." He does
look superstitious. doesn't he:" At this
point the CONDUCTOR broke in, ''It's not
superstition the law."-Philadelph

The officers of the Illinois Humane So
ciety detailed to prosecute the partici-
pators in the tame fox hunt at Falkland
are much disturbed over the methods of
legal procedure in Douglas county. The
action against the fox hunters was called
before Justice Lamb at Tuscola. Wit
aesses testified before jury that tame
fox had been chased by the defendants
and their hounds and had been caught
and torn to pieces by the latter. Attor-
ney A. ". Thomas, of Chicago, cited a
Massachusetts, decision sustaining the
position Of the Humane society, which
while not denying the right Of men to
hunt and kill wild foxes, held that a.
tame fox, cared for in captivity by man
from the time it was only few days
old, is domestic animal.
G. ". Wolverton, Of Tuscola, attor-
ney for the defendants, then addressed
the jury. He troubled himself but little
about replying to arguments of the Chi
cago lawyer, but the fact that Massa-
chusetts decision had been cited Sc
verely wounded his local pride.

After hearing which the twelve good
men and true of Tuscola rendered a YER
dict for the defendants. The Humane
society had hoped to make this test
case under the state laws, which pro-
vide that any person guilty of ''tortur-
ing any animal" shall be subject to
fine of not more than 5000. The Mas
sachusetts decision was directly in point
and although the justice before whom
the action was brought was manifestly
impartial, the jury, which was composed
