Even Corn Husks Are Valuable.

The fates are combining to make
things pleasanter for the Western far
mer, the latest discovery of value to him
being that the husks of corn will make
excellent paper. Hitherto husks have
not had any commercial value and have
only been eaten by stock under protest
and during hard spells. Now, however.
the establishment of paper mills in the
West should put stop to the constant
shipping of paper from the East, and also
convert a waste article into what manu-
facturers would call a "residuary profit, :"
such as coke in Il gas factory. 1t is not
many years since old rags were looked
upon as the only possible raw material
for the manufacture of paper, and the
course from cast-olf shoddy to the COW
ering of corncobs has been both steady
and interesting. st. Louis Globe Demo

Cleansing the Pipe Lines,

The cleansing of the pipe lines which
connect Philadelphia and New York
with the oil regions, and of which there
is strong probability that another will
be constructed between this city and the
new field in Southwestern Pennsylvania
and West Virginia, is very ingenious
matter. The crude petroleum, in pass
ing through the pipes, leaves waxy de-
posit on the sides, which, if allowed to ac-
cumulate, would soon fill them and check
the flow of oil. To prevent this clever
spiral contrivance of knives is forced
through the pipes with the oil from the
pumping station, cutting out the wax
and effectually cleaning the pipe. There
are now about half dozen pipe lines be-
tween the oil fields and tidewater, and
they are kept open in this way.-Phila.

The Dogs of War.

In France, Italy, Germany and Aus
tria, as we'll as in Bosnia and Herzegovi-
ma, the value of war dogs has been fully
tested, and the idea, am told, has an
swered excellently with the ouJposts as
we'll as with the patrol. But to the Ger
man army belongs the merit of having
made use of the dogs sagacity for hu-
name purposes in times of war, and it is
probable that before long number of
fresh canine recruits will be permanently
attached to the German regiments, their
Office being to search for the wounded,
says the Army and Many Gazette.
The Prussian jaeger battalions have al
ready number of such dogs on trial,
all of them being thoroughly trained to
seek out wounded soldiers in the field.
The experiments so far have been carried
out, my informant says, as follows;
A number of men hide in wood, or
behind hedges, lying on the ground face
downward, and with orders not to move.
As soon as the dogs are let loose they
begin the search. When they find one
of these men they place their torepaws
upon the PROSTATE body and begin to
bark, an exercise which is continued
till the bearers appear and carry the man
off, whereupon the dogs start afresh.
Each company of the Lubben jaeger has
about twelve of these dogs.
Hunting dogs cannot be relied upon on
account of their love of the chase, and
therefore sheepdogs or Pomeranian spitz-
hunde are chosen for the work.

The old war horse Comanche, that
alone of all the horses and riders that
followed Custer on the 25th of June,
1875, survived the fight, died recently.
He belonged to Captain Keogh, and like
his rider had strange history, muses.
the Boston Transcript. Captain Keogh
was an Irishman by birth and had served
in the Papal army before he came to this
country. Though like most soldiers he
may have anticipated falling in battle,
and like most men he may have specu-
lated as to where and when the end
would come. it is scarcely probable that
Keogh in Ireland or Italy every had
vision that forewarned him he would die
in defeat by the hands of savage.
Comanche, when the relief column
reached the battlefield, was found COW
cred with wounds and weak from loss of
blood, but he knew the sounds of the
trumpets, and dragged himself to the
colors. From that day he was adopted
by the Seventh Cavalry, and wherever
the regiment has gone, Comanche, rider
less, and bearing the trappings indicative
of his dead masters rank, has marched
with it, its pensioner. Towards the last,
when he had grown very old, he marched
between two other horses whose riders
directed his movements by guide reins.
He had known no rider since the mas
sacre. The regard for him manifested
by the rough troopers was a revelation
of the tenderness that may be drawn even
from hearts supposed to have been hard
ened by war and toll.

Although this has not been very
profitable year for the Pacific Coast fish
ermen, it is said that 500, 600 pounds of
silver salmon have been shipped East.
OF the other varieties perhaps twice the
quantity will be marketed by the end of
the season. There are four species of
this fish: the "humpback," which are
caught early in the season; the "jack"
and the "silver," which are finest in
flavor, and the 'dog" salmon, of good
quality that runs until late in the year.
The 'humpbacks" average five pounds
in weight, the "jacks" fifteen, the
.'silvers" six, and the "dog' salmon
twelve pounds. The fishermen receive
about two cents pound for their catches.
The cost of handling Goldfish and halibut
is too great to permit the Californian fisher
men to compete with their Eastern
brethren, although the waters of Puget
Sound are fairly alive with these fish.

The progress that the movement for the
higher education of women is making in
America is shown by the statement that
there are 200 students in attenda nee at
the Harvard Annex this fall. This is a
remarkable showing, for the institution
is only twelve years old. The young
women of the annex receive exactly the
same Instruction that is given to the
regular students of Harvard University.
The requirements for admission and the
examinations are identical. The only
difference is that the annex girls receive
on graduation "degiee certificate" in
place of the college degree which their
brothers get.

WISE WORDS.
A bad advocate spoils good cause.

A bad advocate spoils good cause.
The poorer man is the oftener he
goes to law.
There is nothing SO sought and so lit
tie valued as advice.
When a woman hates man it is a
sign she once loved him.
Suspicion is canker that corrodes not
only the suspected but the suspicious.
Nature set the mark of her adherence
upon egoism when she created the sexes.
The head is frequently made the scape-
goat of the heart. and in fact usually suf-
fers from its burden.
The uglier show manager is, the
more he insists upon having his picture
printed on all the bills.
Women will love men they cannot re-
spect; but with men their respect must
go far in advance of their affections.
If man is good it is either because
he has to be or because he enjoys it. No
man was ever good from a sense of duty.
There is one good thing that may be
said about faults; it is always the man
you dislike most who has the most of
them.
When a woman cannot reform man
his salvation is impossible. When she
can not destroy him his destruction is
not possible.
Men make laws for the protection of
the brute creation in order to relieve
themselves of responsibility and to es.
cape the unpleasantness involved in per-
sonal action. 1t is so much easier to
raise the hand and point to law when
appealed to than to rise bodily and bring
the offender to justice.
Most personal questions are like old
time ghosts that rise periodically to be
laid again. There seems to be but one
infallible method by which the ghost of
defunct question can be disposed of
and waited down the river to its proper
place of retreat; that is, by giving it a
companion on its journey-the soul of
the unfortunate in whose breast the ques-
ton was agitated.

SUNBEAMS.

In ripples Of gold, o'er vale and hill,
They gleam at dawn Of day;
With glory the woodland hooks they I'LL,
And o'er the brooklets play.
They dance o'er the meadows, daisy clad,
And scatter the mists afar;
The birds sing welcome, sweet and glad
Wherever the sunbeams are.
They wander where towers the palace grand.
They peep in the cottage door;
They brighten the heart, as fairy wand.
And joy and hope restore.
They follow the rain, and calm the strife,
Wherever their kisses fall;
All! sweet is the zest they give to life
And the lonely hearts of all
Oh, keep them forever in thy heart,
The sunbeams that fall each dayl
And make them of life the better part
Wherever thy feet shall stray!
Give thanks to the Giver evermore, -
Till the pleasant journeys end,
For the sunbeams He ever keeps in store
And to all below doth send
John Keynton.

A Rock In Mid0cean.

Captain John Richards, of the British
ship Cambrian Monarch, reports having
passed within half mile of pinnacle
rock, showing about seven feet above
the water. No soundings were taken
and no discolored water was seen except
close to the rock. The sea was smooth,
and from the topsail yard the rock ap-
peared to be about nine feet in diameter
at the waters edge, but much larger
under the water. Captain Richards says
hs is sure that it was not a floating OBJ
iect. t.-Philadelphia Record.

Since the Mikado of Japan permitted
his subjects to emigaate to other coun-
tries, nearly 100, 600 of them have left
their native land. There are about 90
900 of them in Hawaii, and more of them
in Australia. They are to be found in
various countries of the Aslatic conti-
nent, and some of them are in Europe.
There are about 1000 OF them in Cali
fornia, and others are constantly arriv-
ing there to work in the vineyards. In
the city of New York there may be 200
Japanese, and there are a few of them in
many other American cities. Wherever
they go they have the reputation of be-
ing industrious and inoffensive. The
population of Japan is 4o,o00,OOo

To Temper a Watch Spring.

The country matchmaker more than
his city conterree is called upon to tenn
per soft spring. This, explains the
Rorological RerieD, can be done by pre-
pairing lead bath, that is, quantity of
lead in an iron pot, raising it to such a
heat that the lead is red. Into this plunge
the spring, and keep it in for sufficient
length of time; then when hot enough
quickly plunge into cold water or lard
oil. 1t is necessary next so to give it the
right temper, which is done by dipping
the spring into small vessel of boiling
linseed oil for few seconds and then
into cold oil.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

-
Hot water cannot be raised to any con-
siderable height by suction.
The Colorado cliff dwellers are said by
scientists to have existed 10000 years
ago.
A vegetable cartridge shell, which is
entirely consumed in firing, is now COM
ing into general use in the French
army.
The skin of boiled egg when care
fully peeled and applied when wet to
boil will draw out the matter and greatly
relieve the soreness.
An Italian scientist has ascertained
that every fifteen grains of dust taken
from the streets of Naples contain from
1000, ,000, 900 to 5000, 100000 mi
crobes.
Scientists show that the mosquitoes of
the Arctic region become more and more
numerous the further they are beyond the
northern range of the swallow and the
martin.
A solution called diamond ink has
been invented which enables one to
write upon glass. 1t is necessary to al
low it to remain upon the glass about
fifteen minutes before wiping off.
By a novel device of reflection on a
screen at their rear, heavy guns can now
be aimed and fired with the greatest ac-
curacy without the gunners being ex-
posed or even seeing the object to be
fired at
Pipes of ramie fiber are made avail
able for steam through hardening by
tremendous hydraulic pressure. The
finished pipe is two and half times as
strong as steel, while remaining compar.
atively light.
Lisle thread is made of superior cotton
treated in a peculiar manner. The waxy
surface of the cotton fibre is impaired by
carding, but preserved by combing.
The spinning of Isle thread is done un-
der moisture, forming compact and
solid yarn.
DR.. Peter McCahey, of Philadelphia,
has found that by placing a stethoscope
to persons head he can distinctly hear
the sound of an air-current within, and
by the character of the sound can tell
whether the person is sane or insane;
and he positively AYERS that in the
cranium of a big headed idiot this wind
current can be distinctly heard loudly
whistling.
An extraordinary result has been OBJ
tanned by some experiments made IN
England in signalling with electric lights
turned vertically to the sky. The light
of the Eddystone lighthouse can be seen
only seventeen and half miles, and
then on clear night; but vertical beam
of light of far less power is visible just
twice as far, with a strong chance of its
surmounting an ordinary fog.
NJ Trouve has shown to the French
Academy of Sciences the design of boat
propelled by sea water battery. The
plates of zinc and copper are placed un-
der the boat like keel, and the current
drives a motor attached to large rotary
wheel. The plates may DE lowered or
raised as required. Thomas Davenport,
a Vermont blacksmith, made similar
suggestion or design fifty years ago.
M. Guillot, French chemist, has de-
clared that more than five million dol
lars worth of "whitened" diamonds
have been sold in Berlin alone at thirty
per cent. above their value. He recon-
mends diamond merchants to insist,
when purchasing diamonds, on test
bath of alcohol. That is a solvent of
analine, which is the basis of the
process for making diamonds more bril-
liant.

LAPORTE, PA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8. 1892.
HUNKUM HILL
] used to gaze on Hunkum Hill

] used to gaze on Hunkum Hill
And think it very high,
And one of Natures mighty props
That help uphold the sky.
One day l toddled up its side
And stood upon its top,
And then learned the sky must rest
Upon some other prop.
And there saw it just beyond,
Another hill much higher,
Its summit mingled with the sky
All fused with sunset fire.
'That hills a button on the earth,"
Said to little John.
"The great sky spreads its buttonhole
And there it bitches on"
One day climed this other hill,
And found with heavy heart
The button and the buttonhole
Were very far apart.
But there against the crimson West
Another hill was seen,
A mighty spangled cushion where
The big sky loved to lean.
And so I've kept on climbing hills
From busy day to day,
But from the topmost peaks find
The sky is far away.
In spite of many tumbles, still
This sermon would preach,
Life's greatest fun is grasping for
The things we cannot reach.
IS. W. Foss, in Yankee Blade.
