how APUZZLE Was SOLVED,

When you want certain article, you want
the best make OF that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles yoi. isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for YOU,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear Of one puz
zle that has been solved for the people OF
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1889 at
Paris, France. the best sewing machines of
the world. including those of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by a
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts. two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France,
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler g.
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize of.
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold silver and bronze
. medals.
The French Government, as further
recognition OF superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion of
Honor. the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle Of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor Of the No. 8 and NJ. - Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 9. for family use, and the No. 10,
Tor manufacturing uses, are the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want sewing ma
chine, If you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault.

No. Wheeler & Wilson machine and if he
does not Keep them. write to us for descrip-
tive catalogue, prices and terms

Keeping Accounts with Strings.

Knotted strings were employed by the
ancient people of Peru for messages.
They had no written characters to ex-
press single sounds, and so they put
words together for the purposes Of COM
munication and also for records by the
dexterous tying of knots on cords. To
one thick cord they attached several
thinner ones, and on the latter knots
were tied.
A single knot meant ten, double
knot signifed 100 and a triple knot l 900.
The little strings were of different col
ors, so as TO represent various kinds of
things. On one such "quipu" all the
accounts of the army We're kept. A red
string gave the number of soldiers with
strings, white string the soldiers with
spears and black string the soldiers
with clubs, etc. Similarly all the books
of the nation were posted.
In every town were persons known as
"officers Of the knots" whose business
1t was to tie the strings and to explain
them. They became SO perfect in this
art that they could with ease make
known the laws by the same means and
set down every important event of the
kingdom.
To this day like method is followed
by the farmers in that country, who use
il for keeping tally of their foclss and
crops.-Yankee Blade.

Several Kinds of sausaces.

The Germans, in most instances
altogether discard breadcrumbs fol
their sausages, and when they do use
it moistcn it with milk or water; bu'

has been boiled constitutes strong

wise highly ambitious sausage, il
which no kind of bread is allowed tc
enter. They call it "zampino,
which is the foot and leg of young
pork, the best Of which is obtained
from Modena
A leg freshly salted is chosen an6
carefully skinned, the trotter being
preserved; then the meat is finely
minced, and, after being seasoned, is

oval pan for two hours. Wholly in

BUILT A PIER TO THE WRECK.
A Profitable Work of Recovering Cnrgo
from the Bottom of the Sea.

A Profitable Work of Recovering Cnrgo
from the Bottom of the Sea.
Every reader is familiar with the
wreck of the ship Abercorn, which went
ashore on the weather beach near Gray's
harbor, also the fact that Am. Crnnon.
Of Spokane. bought the wreck and its
cargo Of steel rails.
The ship lies just outside Of the break
ers, and q pier l,750 feet long has been
built from the beach out to the wreck.
Altogether thirty-five men are at work.
These include four professional divers,
who aro paid ten dollars day for four
hours work and four dollars day
when not engaged. Suits are also pro
vided for them at cost of five dollars
day for each diver.
The wreck lies in twenty-four feet Of
water at high tide and twelve 1T low.
The higher the tide the better the divers
can work, as the sea is comparatively
still below, the breakers rolling over the
divers and not bothering them in their
work. Four rails make ton, and ton
Is raised at a time. The divers adjust
the chains around the ends of the rails
and give the signal to hoist, and two
engines do the rest. During this fine
weather from fifty to 100 tons arc lifted
out daily. The ship carried $500 tons,
and 500 tons have already been taken
out.
After the rails are taken out they are
loaded on wagons and hauled along the
beach five miles. They are then placed
upon railway built by the wreckers
and carried mile across the peninsula
to point ON Gray's harbor, where they
can be loaded either on the railroad or
on vessel and carried to market. They
are worth from fifty dollars to sixty dol
lars per ton in Portland, and as they can
be gotten there for two dollars ton, or
less than five dollars from the wreck
itself, it is seen that Mr.. Cannon has
hold Of 800, 900 proposition, and that
all between that figure and the cost of
the undertaking will be profit. The
profits will be somewhere between
$50, 600 and $50, 200. The rails are not
injured in the least. They were covered
with coal tar before being placed in the
vessel, and when this is scraped off the
red sand of the blast is still found at.

Fishing for Sharks.

Captain and Mrs. W. A. Roberts were
fishing recently when three sharks
bobbed up near the wharf-two shovel
noses and one man eater. Captain Rob.
erts sent for sharp hook and began
fishing for the most dangerous Of all
fishes. The hook was about six inches
long. attached to a foot of chain, and
this was on to 100 feet of strong cotton
rope. About three feet up the line was
tied shingle for float and onto the
hook was placed a small whiting After
about thirty minutes patience the man
eater came to the top and swallowed
the fish, hook and all. He then made a
dash for the marsh across the bay, and
about eighty feet of line was played out.
The shark made several wild jumps
he would go to the bottom and then
come to the top and circle about. There
were twelve men holding onto the line,
and several of their hands were blistered
while mastering the dangerous fish.
Captain Roberts, who was farthest
down on the line, received the largest
number of blisters.
After fifteen minutes hard pulling
and plunging the shark gave up, and he
was pulled out ON the wharf. After a
few firts in the air he gave up and died.
The fish was measured and was eight
feet long from the tip of his nose to the
end of his tail fins. He was weighed and
pulled the scales at 151 pounds.
The shark was a dangerous looking
one, his mouth measuring fourteen
inches across, and he had eighty-six
teeth, varying in length from one-fourth
of an inch to an inch. His fins were cut
off for curiosities, and many of the teeth
were taken out. The shark was cut
open, and besides several bushels of
fresh fish it contained two small stock
ings, pair Of little shoes and few
other hings.-Brunswick Cor. Atlanta

There is perhaps but one botanical
oddity that will compare in wonder ex-
citing points with Cordyceps Chinensis,
the famous "Chinese vegetable worm,
and that is the vegetable fly" of the
West Indies.
In winter Cordyceps Chinensis is a
nine segmented caterpillar spending the
principal part of his time in the loose
earth just under the surface. As spring
approaches he burrows deeper, and final
ly stretches out or curls up in coma
tose state at depth of about four inches
beneath the sod. While in this enforced
sleep he is attacked by a species of
parasitic fungus, the aforesaid parasitic
fungus fastening itself upon the help
less worms head. From this vantage
ground the fungus shoots in two direc-
tions-a long, pulpy stem starts for sun
light, and a thick, hard and woody sub
stance proceeds to fill the skin of the
sleepy worm. None escape; it is simply
a clear case of the transformation of
animal into vegetable tissue.
When the proper season arrives the
Chinese herb hunters repair to favorable
localities with sharp sticks and other in
struments for removing the vegetable
worm from his last resting place. 1t is
highly esteemed as u medicine, and at
one time was thought to have even more
potent effects in certain sicknesses than
ginseng, which is well known as Mon
golian panacea. In the market cordy-
ceps is sold in small bundles which con-
sist of two distinct portions, the larger
part--the worm itself-being of "a yell
lowish brown color and about an inch
in length. The upper portion is the
spur Of the fungus, a rough idament of
a grayish color, very hexile and more or
less twisted and distorted.
The "root," or that portion of this
fungus medicine which is composed
wholly of the poor worms body, is the
exact counterpart of what the insect
was when endowed with animal life,
the "root" plainly showing the segments,
bands, rings, legs, breathing holes. etc.
It is curiosity well worth seeing. st.
