A Pet Beaver

A tame beaver, kept by the soldiers at
fort in Wyoming, became q,ite famous
for his sagacity. Caught while young,
and perfectly tanned, he became very do
ellie and great favoritc at the fort. The
little fellow could never be cured of his
instinct to build dams, and it is related
that he once undertook to dam the
Platte River, working for months all
night long and returning to the fort
every morning at sunrise. He cut down
quite number of trees, but life proved
too short for the completion of his plans.
While around the fort he was constantly
turning over every kind of vessel that
contained water and collecting sticks to
head it off as it flowed away. One night
by oversight the beaver was locked up in
the warehouse, and during the night, in
nosing around, he discovered a cn-galon
can of moIasses that had been left uncov
cred The next day he was found gasp
ing for life, having been caught in the
sticky mass as the can was overturned.
He never recovered from the shock and
was tenderly buried in the presence of a
large circle of friends Chicago

A "wreck chart of the Great Lakes"
has been prepared and issued by the
United States Weather Bureau, show
ing the places at which the principal
shipwrecks upon the great inland seas
of this country have occurred during
the last seven years. These disasters
were lat in number, and description
of each is appended, with dates and
losses. These latter amount to
$2,955, 595 and 257 lives. The object
of this graphic compilation is to show
what are the most dangerous points
along those coasts, information having
value both for the navigator and for
the government, which establishes
lighthouses and life saving stations.
The work is so valuable that one won-
dcrs that it has never been undertaken
before. This, however, it is UNDER
stood, is only one of the ways in which
Professor Harrington, chief of the
Weather Bureau, has been extending
the advantages Of the service which
he directs to the enormous marine in
terests of the Great Lakes.

TIE SACRIFICE OF THE LIB
ERTY TREE.
BY MARY A. P. STASSBURY.

BY MARY A. P. STANSBUR1
Twas seventeen hundred and seventy-six, tho
year our fathers sealed
The charter of their liberties with blood, on
many field
A time Of darkness, doubt and dread, with
hope long delayed,
That thought of child and wife almost the
brayest towards made.
Upon their island fair and green. girt by the
throbhins sea:
The men of Martha 5 Vineyard set tree of
liberty;
Flung from its peak their virgin flag, that
wind and wave might hear
Their pledge to freedoms cause Of life and
honor yet more dear.
Up through the harbor mouth one day, by
fayuring brcczcs borne,
Haunting the ensign of King George came
the ship Unicorn
Her tattered sails and splintcred spar told but
sorry tale
Of battle with the pillows rage, and fury of
the gale.
'Now, by my faith" the captain cried, "but
there's goodly mast!
Twcre worth ten other nights of storm,
each blacker than the last,
To bring these canting rebels pride to such
gricvous fall,
And mend his Majesty good ship with yondcr
flagstaff tall"
Then short and stern the summons passed
through willing messengers-
''Sell me for gold if so ye will. your prince of
rockgrown frs;
But bark We! if We bring it not by dawn of
morrow's morn,
Perforce take it! and beware how ye my
mandate scorn.'
The patriots heard the naughty word and,
struck with sore tlismay,
Looked down the black mouths of the guns
grim watching from the bay
Through clenched teeth and quivering lips
the angry whisper Missed,
'This red-coat has us by the throat-'twere
madness to resist
Night fell along the quiet shore, with not a
light TO guide,
Save where the warship's lantern dim swung
slowly with the tide
When softly from their sleeping homes there
stole the madens three,
Hora, Parnel, and Mary fair, beneath the
liberty tree.
They closed it round in silent rinS-what
meant that click of steel?
Could musket cold and bayonet those gentle
hands conceal?
Nay! from simple workman's bench were
drawn their weapons true,
Three twisted augers strong and sharp to cut
the tough wood through.
With firm, un1lnching wounds of love they
pierced the fra grant grain,
Then forced the cracking powder home, and
set the fuse in train.
Through the still darkness of the hour sud
den flash and roar,
And the tall emblem of the free fell shivered
to the corei
The glad west wind Of heaven that once had
rocked it where it grew,
Flung ont its shattered fragments small upon
the water blue,
The mocking rpplcs tossed them light against
the vessels lee,
Whose baf1icd captain anchor weighed and,
cursing, put to sea,
While screamed the soa-bird in his track,
Chew Your proud words again.
Will they whom white faced girls outwit dare
try the fight with menu
SO runs the tale of maidcns three, to chill
dren's children told,
Hora Parnol and Mary fair, of the brave days
of old.

Care and Management of Tools.

The following points on the manage"
mcnt of a machine shop, which are cX-
tractcd from an article in the Tradcsman,
will prove of value to those interested in
this subject.
For much of the boring done in ma
chine shop, the upright drill, with the
automatic feed, can be used to very great
advantage; it has been found much moro
convenient than a boring Lathe, and fully
as efficient A machine of this class
should not be used for ordinary rough
drilling; this may be performed upon a
lighter and cheaper machine. For light
drilling, n small, undermining drill
press, with hand feed, is suitable. BY
the use of universal chucks, and drills of
uniform diameter throughout, including
the shanks, the necessity Of having set
of drills for each drill press is avoided.
Every machine shop should be pro-
vidcd with a tool room, but this does
not necessarily imply that all of the tools
should be kept there or returned each
time after being used; this, i'll many
cases, incurs a great loss of time. This
rule should be observed in the case OF
large, valuable tools which are seldom
used, but it does not apply in the case
of small drills, cold chiscls, wrenches,
etc; the tool room should, however,
have duplicates of all tools used In tho
shop.
SO far as possible, a regular system
should be observed in the sizes of nuts,
bolts and tap bolts, so that solid wren-
ches can be used upon them. Whenever
tools require repairing, by dressing, tenn
pcring or otherwise, they should be re-
turned to the tool room, and it should
be the duty of the tool keeper to have
such tools repaired and put in order
without delay and returned to their
places, 50 that there will always be q
supply on hand The old method, which
allows the workman to carry the tool to
the blacksmith shop and there. wait until
it is put in order, involves an unwar-
rantabe waste of time.
The tool keeper must necessarily be q
frst-class machinist and tool maker, cap
able of replacing any and every tool used
in the shop, and this is true even where
the tools are mainly purchased, as special
tools are lnavoidably required OCCASION
ally in every shop. Ordinarily, every
workman is supposed to keep his own
tools ground and in good condition for
work, but it is undoubtedly more econ
omical to have certain tools, such as
twist drills, reamers, etc, kept IN order
| by the tool maker.

Peculiar Kind of Shell Fish.

A peculiar kind of shelltish, the like
of which has never been seen on the
Sound near Seattle Washington, was
tished out of goo feet Of water near rive
Mile point, the other morning, by rock
cod fisherman. The man felt tug at
his line and began pulling in. Judging
from the weight he concluded that he

had taken in all his line he was aston

a splendid tivc-anda-half pound cod,
but also rock full of pcrforatlons, to
which were attached six lively shclltish,
each as BIC as ones fist, and somewhat
resembling gigantic mussels. The shells
of the fish were imbcddcd in the rock,
and as soon as the rock was taken out OF
the water the fish craned their long necks
out of the shells Just as turtle would.

Columbus Idea of the World.

Emilio Castelar,, in June Century,:
Columbus believed the solid part of the
sphere to be larger than the liquid part,
and the distance by the sunset road be-
tween the East Indies and western Eur
one to be less than it is. But in those
two capital errors lay the great incentive
TO the execution and success of his pur-
pose. Had he known the vast planetary
spaces covered by the waters; the CONT
nent interposcd between his own Europe
and the land of diamonds, gold anu
spices; the difficulty and peril OF INC

A HOUSE WITH A HISTORY.
The Home of Samuel Slater, the father
of American Manufactures.

Pawtucket, which for long time
claimed the honor of being the largest
town in the United States, will always
occupy prominent place in Rhode Is
land history as the home of Samuel Sla-
ter, the father of American manufactures
and of the first cotton mill in America.
Until recently the house occupied by
Samuel Slater has been used as a private
dwelling. 1t stands upon one of the
principal business streets. a large,
square, brick building, with a door i'll the
center of the front and a large parlor on
either side. The quaint, old-fashioncd
wall paper on these two rooms has al
ways been an object Of interest to visit
ors and has quite a history. 1t repre-
scnts romantic landscape with trees
half the height of the room, and tradi-
ton has it that this identical paper was
designed and made for a European mon
arch, whose fastidious taste was not
pleased at the completion of the work
and it was refused. The manufacturer
was of course ruined by this unhappy
transaction, and Samuel Slater hearing
ofit-whether prompted by philanthropy
or self Qualification is not stated-lmmt-
diately purchased it.
Another object Of interest about the
old Slater mansion some forty or fifty
years ago was the family coach, around
which hung an air of gcntecl antiquity
and memories of some famous general,
who was said to have ridden in it some
time away back in colonial days. 1t
~ Il II i,rh+ Of nj

None of the incidents connected with
Samuel Slater are more interesting than
one given in the records of the Provl-
dcnce plantations. This little account
credits woman with being the origina-
tor of that most useful article, cotton
thread
" Shortly before 1900 young lady in
Pawtucket made suggestion which gave
rise to another industry. Miss Marcy
Wilkinson, whose sister afterward mar
ricd Samuel Slater, who established the
first cotton mill in the United States,
asked the latter if he could not make
thread from cotton, since linen was so
uneven that it was hard to use. In re-
ply he gave her some cotton, which she
herself spun into thread, probably the
first ever made in America. She wound
it upon large spool and many years Ia
ter presented it to the Rhode Island So
ciety for the Encouragement of Domestic
Industry, at whose rooms 1t now IS.
The Wilkinsons were an old raw
tucket family, and in St. Paul's Eplsco-
pal church, the oldest in the city and an
ugly but unique old frame building, are
marble tablets in memory of both the
Wilkinson and Slater families.
