MEADvILLEs WORST FLOOD.


Meadville was swept by the worst food in its
history. At midday rain Of great volume swelled
every stream bankfull, and the storm which
followed in the evening brought the food. In
Meadville Mill run overtiowed its banks and
swept the whole business portion of the city,
demolishing "a dozen or more buildings and
entailing a total loss of $4,000. of which
80. 900 are to the streets. The loss throughout
the country cannot be estimated Bridges were
washed away in every direction. leaving scarcely
passable roads in the country. The damage to
growing crops il heavy. No casualties are re-
ported in that city. The loss of the New York
Pennsylvania and Ohio Railway Company ON
their eastern division is heavy in bridges and
track destroyed. One Of their passenger en-
gines lies buried in fifteen feet of water with
a broken bridge, near Saegestown.

The Proliesens chipmunk.

As the woodchuck sleeps away the
bitterness of cold, so in his narrower
chamber sleeps the chipnunk, happy
little hermit, lover of the sun, mate of
the song sparrow and the butterflies.
What goodly and hopeful token of the
earth's renewed life is he, verifying the
promises of his own chalices, the squir-
rel cups, set in the warmest corners of
the woodside. with libations of dew and
shower drops, of the bluebird's carol,
the sparrow's song of springl
Now he comes forth from his long
night into the fullness of sunlit day to
proclaim his awakening to his summer
comrades, gay recluse, clad all in the
motley-a jester maybe, yet not fool.
His voice, for all its monotony, is in
spring of gladness and contentment
whether he utters his thin, sharp chip or
full mouthed cluck or laughs a chitter-
ing mockery as he scurries in to his mar
row door.
He winds along his crooked pathway
of the fence rails and forages for half
forgotten nuts in the familiar grounds,
brown with strewn leaves or dun with
dead grass. Sometimes he ventures to
the top rail and climbs to giddy ten-foot
height on tree, whence he looks abroad,
wondering on the wide expanse of an
acre.
Music hath charms for him, and you
may entrance him with softly whistled
tune and entice him to frolic with a
herdsgrass head gently moved before
him.-Forest and Stream.

Rattle with Bee.

An observer writes us that he is salts
fed that there is just as much rivalry
between humming birds and bees in
their quest for honey as there is between
members of the human race in their
struggle for the good things of life, and
describes u recent quarrel that he saw
in Portland garden, where a humming
bird with an angry dash expressed its
disapproval of the presence of big
bumblebee in the same tree. The usually
pugnacious bee incontinently fled, but
he did not leave the tree. He dashed
back and forth among the branches and
white blossoms, the humming bird in
close pursuit.
Where will you find another pair that
could dodge and dart equal to these;
They were like flashes of light, yet the
pursuer followed the track of the pur-
sued, turning when the bee turned. In
short, the bird and the bee controlled
the movements of their bodies more
quickly and more accurately than he
could control the movements of his eyes.
The chase was all over in half the time
that it has taken to tell it, but the ex-
citement of pack of hounds after a fox
was no greater. The bee escaped, the
bird giving up the whole chase and
alighting ON 8 twig.-Portland Tran
script.

The stomach of a Fish.

Mr.. Hyman Herman, who has been
fishing in Keg creek, near Sanderson-
vile, Ga, during the past week, has re-
turned. He had most remarkable luck
in the piscatorial sport, and brought to
some of his friends large assortments Of
fish. He gave one string to Mr.. Mack
Duggan, and while the cook was clean
ing a large channel catfish she was
dumfounded by discovering two brass
buttons in the fsh's stomach. On close
inspection the following inscription
could be discerned on one of the buttons
"Gen. Wheeler, 1864" The other but
ton contained these words, Sherman
bound for the sea-"
They were scratched on the under side
of the button by some sharp pointed in
strument.
1t is an historical fact that during
Sherman's raid through Georgia he
camped one night on the banks of Keg
creek, on the same ground which General
Wheeler had occupied the night before,
and soon after freshet washed the but.

buttons and intends sending them to the

Slick Farmer HeapIe.

Old Farmer Heagle, in Chemung, needed
water for his stock and began to sink a
well 1t was a laborious operation. Grad
ually the work neared it's completion and
its success seemed assured. Alas, one day,
just as he was putting on the finishing
touches, the well caved in, and the labor
of weeks came to naught. For a few
moments Farmer Heagle beat his breast
and tore his hair in mute despair. Then
he had an inspiration. He took of his coat
and hat and carefully laid them on the
brink of the ruined well. Then he secreted
himself under neighboring haystaek and
awaited developments. Soon a neighbor
passed and went to the well to inspect it..
He discovered it's prccarious condition, and
seeing Heagle's coat and hat near by nat
urally concluded that the unfortunate
man had been engulfed in the ruin and
was now lying at the bottom of his we'll.
Impelled by feeling of humanity, he
ran to the neighboring farmhouses and
gave the alarm. The news spread like a
flash, and before long a vast concourse Of
farmers had congregated around the spot.
With picks and spades they dug away at
the well until they had it completely eXca-
waited. 1t was long and laborious piece
of work, but sympathy for the unfortu-
nate man and an earnest desire to rescue
him lent strength to the laborers At
length the task was completed and the
well dug out. There was no vestige of
Heagle. After searching for him in vain
the tired workers went home. Then Heagle
emerged from his hiding place, thankful
that human sympathy had not entirely
died out from the face of the earth.-New
York Sun.

It Is detestable TO organize family sole
ly for work. II you are farmer, and have
no eroquet ground or lawn tennis or QUOT
or cricket ground, then prepare for them
at once. / am talking Of family play,
where father and mother engage with the
young ones in jolly hours Of relaxation.
You cannot afford the timer That Is
nonsense. Work will go twice as fast with
play as without it. There should also be
abundance Of winter games. Reading to
each other and discussion is Of great value,
as it brings mental growth in common.
Family feeling and intellectual develop
ment is likely to diverge too much in
America. i have heard a good deal said
pleasantly of the German family life, be-
cause they all go together. That is GER
taiply an improvement on our method
even when tastes are not on high plane.
We can do better if we lay out our fam
lily plans not rigidly and solely for work,
and if our families all have the love of fun
and the need of relaxation anticipated.
Oh, yes, you can, my dear fellowl You
can afford the trifing expense better than
you can doctors bills. Invalid wives are
terribly expensive luxuries. They are in
the main caused by falsely adjusted
home life. would say to every young
married man: "The very first thing you
calculate deliberately on a certain amount
of daily sport, and plan as much for your
wife as yourself. Don't sneak off and
leave her to work. Home is not neces-
sarily a mere workshop. Marriage does
not obligate you or your wife to incessant
toll. "-Mary Z. Spencer in ST. Louis Globe

How Insects Breathe.

If we take any moderately large insect,
say wasp, hornet or u humble bee, the
naked eye can plainly distinguish series
of small, spotlike marks running along
both sides of the body. These apparent
spots, which are usually eighteen in num-
beP, but may vary from fourteen to twenty
six, according to the species of insect ex-
amined. are, in fact, the apertures through
which air IL admitted into the system.
These openings are very delicately and in
geniously formed. and in such manner
as to make the entrance CT extraneous
matter an utter impossibility. Sorlee.i mes
they are furnished with horny lips, which
open and close at the insects will; in other
cases densely fringed with interlacing
bristles, which form a filter that allows
air, and cir only to pass.
But the apparatus, Of whatever char
acter it may be, is always SO wonderfully
perfect in its action that it has been found
ir-rocssible to inJe the body of dead in
sect with even so subtle q medium as recti-
fed spirits of wine, even though the sub
ioct was first immersed in the fluid and
then rlaced beneath the receiver of an air.

Summer Dress of congressman.

Visitors to congress are not struck by
the dignity of attire affected by senators
and representatives in these warm days.
True, the atmosphere of both chambers
is almost unbearable lately, but that
need not deter the senator's from main
tanning q little care in assuming negG-
gee. To see a great legislator strolling
around in limp trousers that would apt
ly costume q Joshua Whitcomb is not
edifying. The absence of waistcoats is
not a crime; indeed, it is a sensible
fashion if proper care is bestowed upon
the arrangement of the garments that
remain. In this connection the fashion
bulletins for congress should advise
gentlemen who lay aside their waist
coats to supply themselves with ample
belts, or even the despised "Gordon
SASH" if they wish to preserve the ad-
miration of visiting constituents. 1t is
very hard to have any veneration for a
body o. men costumed with the lack of
care disp1ayeG, by the senate for the last
few weeks.-Mrs. McGulrk in Kate

JourMeyea Through Thibet.

Two travellers have lately arrived at
Shanghai, China, whose names deserve
not an Wtmportant place in the roll of
distinguished explorers. They are Cap
tain Bower, of the Seventeenth Bengal
cavalry, and DR.. Thorold, of the Indian
medical staff, and their claim to distinc-
ton rests upon the fact that they have
iourneyed through Thibet by the long
est route that can be taken through that
mysterious country. They followed an
imaginary line drawn from the Cash
mere frontier, in the northwest, to the
Chinese province of Szechuen, where it
sdioins the southeastern border OF the
territories of the Delai Lama.
They were upward of ten months in
Thibet and a great part of their journey
lay through series Of elevated table
lands, seldom lower than $4,000 feet
above the sea level. On approaching
Lhassa they were turned back when
within eight days journey of that city
by the officials, but after some parley-
ing were permitted to proceed on prom
ising not to attempt to enter the Thibetan
capital No foreign travellers have before
followed the same route.-New Orleans

POpe's villa for Sale.

Another historic house is in the mar

which once belonged to the great poet,
and was the scene wherein he composed
many of his works. 1t has been occu-
pied for nearly quarter of a century

was some years ago associated with the
performance of "a Midsummer Nights
Dream" by company of amateurs and
professionals, which formed quite an
epoch in the history of pastoral plays.
The grounds are extensive and run
down to the rivers edge. The show
place in them is the grotto which is
supposed to have been Popes favorite
resort. The villa is prettily situated in
a nest of trees and faces toward Ham
house, the residence of the Earl of Dy-
sart.-London Star.

Motors for Hot Weather.

1t is not merely an aggravation when
a pedestrian, with pleasing expectancy,
seeks the sidewalk shaded by great
buildings, to find, instead of the COOL
ness belonging to shade, outrushing
volames of hot air through grating and
basement window, How much more
comfortable it would be for the occu-
pants were the hot furnaces and boilers
allowed to go fireless through summer,
and to grow cool, cold, frigid-until the
latter sort of weather came again! This
might be accomplished by bringing in a
cold electric motor or two and couple
of cold wires. 1t would not only con-
duce to the bodily comfort of all in the
vicinity, but be profitable change for

Mr.. James Forwood, of Darlington,
Hartford county. has cat which has de-
veloped an interesting trait. Being kit
tenless, she adopted as her own brood
of motherless young chickens, which
come to her when she purrs and follow
her around. When any of the brood
stray into neighbours premises the cat
follows, and picking each chick up care
fully by the back Of its neck, deposits 1t
safely on its owners premises. Calling
the chicks to her the cat lies down and
hovers over them as fenderly and care
fully as their feathered mother would
have done. The chicks appear to accept
the situation and are thriving.-Cor,

The self righting lifeboat is expected
here soon on it's way to Ilwaco. These
boats right themselves in ten seconds
after being capsized. The boat expected
here is thirty feet long, seven feet beam
and three feet deep, caravel built and
with air chambers at bow and stern, cov-
cred with waterproof canvas. The pc
culiar features in the construction are
the presence of false bottom, which
runs from stem to stern precisely at
water line, and is furnished with two
circular gratings, into which, if neces-
sary, pumps can be inserted. In the
sides, just about midships, there are long
flaps working on hinges which, when
opened, will permit any water above the
false bottom to run out, and when closed
are water tight. The space below the
false bottom is packed with dry tule
grass, which is even lighter than corl
and almostimpervious to water.-Wash
