An old cOlOred man out at the poor
farm is giving Superintendent Reed
considerable trouble. He was brought
up from Caldwell a few weeks ago by
Harve Homer. He was found on the
railroad track down there and when
found was supposed to be dead, but
survived and after short time was
brought here to the poor farm. He was
in a very crippled condition when first
brought here and could not walk alone.
but since he has got able to walk he
runs away from the farm every chance
he gets and has succeeded in getting
away several times when he was being
watched. Once he got away and was
found about twelve miles northeast of
town with hardly a stitch of clothing
on his body. He was brought back.
but has come very near getting away
from Mr.. Reed time or two since.
when he had some of the other inmates
watching him. He is not in his right
mind except at times and then he
talks rational on a great many sub
jects. Mr.. Reed found papers on
his person which show that he owns
property in Oklahoma, and also other
papers relating to several business
transactions he has been connected
with. When found he had s26 in
money. He is from Jackson, Tenn.
and Mr.. Reed intimates that it is his
opinion that he has been shipped out
here for the western people to take
care of, not being competent to take
care of himself.

The Fate of Famous Hu,t.s.

The outcry which has been raised
against the destruction of Nelson's old
flagship, the Foudroyant, makes it inter-
esting to trace the end of other famous
vessels.
The Shannon, which fought and cap
tured the Chesapeake, was broken up at
Chatham, parts of her hull being sold
at fancy price. Sir Francis brakes
Golden Hind came to d similar end at
Deptford, chair made out of her tim
bers being one of the treasures of Ok
ford university. The Resolute, which
went in search of Sir John Franklin,
and after being abandoned in an ice
waste was picked up by an American
whaler and returned refitted by the
United States government to this coun-
try, was moored in the Medway for
some years afterward, but ultimately
taken in dock and pulled to pieces,
suit of furniture fashioned from her
oaken timbers being sent as memento
to the American president. The Sow
ereign of the Seas, the first British three
decker, built in the time of Charles l,
"to the great glory of the English ma
ton, and not to be paralleled in the
whole Christian world" was acciden-
tally destroyed by fire at Chatham after
seeing much and long service.
Of Captain Cooks Endeavor not a
trace is left, though several of his scien-
tifc instruments have been preserved,
nor is there any trace of the Victoria,
which made the first voyage round the
world. The Betsy Gains, which brought
William of Orange to this country in
1888, was cast away 1873 years later

History of an African Boat.

A little vessel having a remarkable
history has piled for years on Lake Tan
ganyika. Her story illustrates the prog
ress in that region from slavery toward
civilization. The boat, kno$l as the
Calabash, was originally huge tree
trunk, cut down by the axes of the ma
tives with enormous labor, and then
with ak and adj and fire nodded into
shape. Boats like the Calabash are ex-
cellent sea vessels, though III their lines
they suggest rather clumsy hippopota-
mus than swan.
On one of her voyages, after she had
served as a trading canoe for two wears,
she entered the port of Ujiji, where she
was bought by an Mswahili slave trader.
For three years she piled back and forth
across the lake, bringing cargoes of
wretched men, women and children to
the Ujiji slave market. One day load
of slaves had just been landed on the
shore when Mr. Hore, who had recently
come to Ujiji as an agent of the London
Missionary society, saw the little craft
and decided that she was just about
what he needed for exploratory voyages
around the lake.
He succeeded in purchasing her, and
the little boat was once more launched
upon Tanganyika as the first missionary
vessel on the lake. Consecrated to the
cause of peace she became known in
time to every tribe as the harbinger of
good will.-Chicago Post.

In the feeting moment that elapsed

picked up the reptiles and the bugs AMI

them like dead things upon the bed.

Value of the Shilling in 1000

We know that in Shakespeare's dav.
say A. D. 1900, sixpence day was q
fortune for any workingman, say the
equivalent of ten pounds per annum. A
century earlier, before the access to
America was open to English explorers,
one of the Ardens of Warwickshire left
an annuity of forty shillings per annum
to younger son, probably the poets
great-granduncle. Then if sixpence q
day would now be the equivalent to
twenty shillings a week, then forty shil-
lings per annum would equate to e120
of present values.-Notes and Queries.

being that it is more durable than

A New Geographical Fault.

AT the annual meeting of the British
Association for the Advancement of Sci
ence, DR.. G. C. Knott gave a report
on earthquake Phenomena in Japan.
Among effects of the recent severe earth
quake were mentioned the depression of
valley by about nineteen feet for a
distance of thirty miles-thus forming
great geographical fault-together with
the destruction of mills, bridges and
towns, and the curving of a railway line
running, along an embankment and
bridge in the path of the earthquake. 1t
is stated incidentally that in many earth
quakes-though not in this one-oil is
overturned, and by catching fire C c,uses
more damage than the earthquake itself.
