INC BIggest Kite EYer Made.

The biggest kite in the world was
made in Durham, Greene County, N. Y,
about year ago. 1t may be taken as
the biggest kite ever made.
The frame consisted of two main
sticks twenty-eight feet long, weighing
each 100 pounds, and two cross sticks
twenty-one feet long, aud weighing
seventy five pounds each; all of these
sticks were 2x6 inches in dimensions.
over this frame work was stretched a
great sheet of white duck, 25x18 feet,
aud weighing fitty.tive pounds; the tail
Of the kite alone weighed fifty pounds,
aud contained $50 yards of muslin
Twenty-Five hundred feet of half.inch
rope served as "kite strings.'
This plaything cost SIS, aud when it
mounted into the air, it exerted lifting
power of 500 pounds. Six men once
permitted it to ascend 1000 feet.-At-
lanta Constitution.

Poison by Lead Pine.

The use of lead pipe for the convey
ance Of water for domestic use is rarely
dangerous. 1t is only so when the water
stands for some time in the pipe and
when it is largely charged with carbonic
acid. Then the acid may act on the lead
and produce a soluble carbonate which is
not safe to take IN the stomach. But
even in this case, if the water is run for
a shert time so as to clear out the stand
ing water, the danger is avoided. Hard
water soon makes deposit of carbonate
of lime or alumina in the pipe, which
acts as an insoluble lining, and thus pro.
tects the M al from the action of the
water. When pipe has been in use for
some months without any evidence of
action on the lead, it may be considered
safe, as then it may be believed that the
lead has not been acted upon or has been
coated over safely. The purest water
has the most effect. upon lead.-New
York Times.

"Walnut lumber as a commercial
quantity ia the lumber trade is almost n
thing of the past" said a prominent
local dealer to the Man About Town of
the st. Louis Republic the other day.
at is not because there is any real
scarcity in the supply of timber from
which walnut lumber may be made, but
from the fact that the craze for walnut
furniture has died out entirely or nearly
so. Oak, ash and maple have taken its
place, principally oak. The craze for
all sorts of furniture in the latter timber
is causing a Wholesale onslaught on the
best timbers in the country, and has
run the prices of first and second grades
way up. A few years more of the craze
for oak will exhaust the supply of best
grades and then some other wood will
become the fashion"

Says the Baltimore Sun: The great in.
crease Of insanity in the United States,
an increase far in excess OF the increase
of population, is justly attracting atten.
tion. An illustration of this increase is
given In the statistical tables Of the New
York Board of Charities, which has just
been reported to the State Legislature.
The figures show that the number of in.
sane patients in New York asylums has
increased from 1887, in 1880, to 16, ,6i7,
In 1891. It is further estimated that
counting the insane not in the asyluns
the total number In the State will reach
90 600

Professor McCook of Hartford, Conn,
finds in his investigation of the tramp
nuisance that of 1895 cases coming un.
der bis notice, fifty-six per cent. were
American born, while but about ten per
cent. were unable TO read or write. OF
1914 tromps, 459, says the professor,
claimed to be strictly temperate in their
use of alcoholic drinks, while y .rty Of
them boldly declared themselves as total
abstainers. 1t is more likely that the
only really temperate ones Of the 1900
and odd were the thirty who never

The bluebirds they are calling,
The robin plumes his wing,
The snow-born streams are falling
Upon the feet Of spring.
Sing sweet, oh Southland,
Sing soft, oh Southland,
Der hamlet, farm and town;
Invade the Northland,
Surround the Northland,
And pull that snowbank down.
The wee frogs wake from sleeping,
They're getting out Of bed;
And thr0 the cold turf peeping
The crocus shows her head.
Arise, oh Southland,
Blow soft, oh Southland,
Der dingle, dell and down;
Go food tho Northland,
Dissolve the Northland,
And pull that snowbanls down.
Go sound tho cow-boll loudly;
Wake feather, fur and fin.

The splendid spring comes in.
All hail, oh Southland,
Come soon, oh Southland,
And green the hills OF brown;
Invade tho Northland,
Go smite tho Northland,
And pull that snowbauk down.

Presenting Arms 10 a Cat.

Some fifty years ago very high Eng.
hsh official died in a fortress, at place
that is one of the centers OF Brahamic
orthodoxy, and at the moment when the
news of his death reached the Sepoy
guard at the main gate, black cat
rushed out of it. The guard presented
arms to the cat as a salute to the flying
spirit OF the powerful Englishman, and
the coincidence took 50 firm a hold Of
the locality that up to a few years ago
neither exhortation nor orders could pre-
vent Hindu sentry at that gate from
presenting arms TO any cat that passed
out at night.-Bombay (India) Times,

In the air like monster ball of fire.
When the earth was struck 4 fairly

dipped into cold water. Tbs meteoric
stone was as hot as a furnace hours after
it descended to the earth. Newell esti.

Frick's Creek. Newell was on horse.

shamrsek aud Glover.

There is prevalent notion that the
shamrock is nothing but clover. Indeed,
many Irish people will show you clover
and tell you that it is the shamrock.
But, according 20 the bcs, authorities,
the true shamrock is the oXalis, not the
trliollum rcpeus. An the Irish flags
which bear the shamrock represent tho
former plant, which is different from the
other in this; Clover leaves spring in
bunch from a common root shamrock
leaves spring ia alternating order from
either side Of a stem which creepl close
TO the ground, Tho iclycs are smaller
than those Of the clover plant, more deli
cate, aud the plant Is, rs compared with
clover, very rare. .-bdnA.0 az. ~

Some of the revelations of the census
will startle good many people, romarks
the Boston Transcript. For Instance,
there are now more than half million
almond trees actually bearing in the
United, States; there are. hundreds of
thousands of bearing cocoanut trees ;
there are more than quarter of million
olive trees, producing fruit equal to tho
best Mediterranean varieties. There are
more than half a million bearing banana
plants, 200,0 900 bearing lemon trees,
10000 orange trees and Fl, 900, 600

erratic manner recently in some parts OF
France aud Scotland, where its docli-
nation now is twenty to twenty-five
minutes greater than it was few months
ago, though no change has occurred In
the adjacent regions. Scientific men do
not know how to account for this mag
netie anomaly, unless it indicates that
metal-bearing rocks in the depths of the
earth have been displaced by some pro-
found geological disturbance, which is
made apparent at the surface by these
unusal vagaries of the needle. Tho
theory was long ago advanced that ter.

The Prince and Vic Cook.

The following story, which is not
new, will bear retelling. During the
earlier visits of the Royal family to Bal
moral, Prince Albert, dressed in a very
simple manner, was crossing one of the
Scotch lakes in a steamer, and was curl.
GUS to note everything relating to the
management of the vessel, aud among
other things cooking. Approaching the
galley" where a brawny Highlander
was attending to the culinary matters, he
was attracted by the savory odors of
compound known by Scotchmen as
"hodge- podge, which the Highlander
was preparing. "What is that" asked
the Prince, who was not known to the
cook. "Hodge.podge, sir" was the
reply. "How is it madem was the next
question.
"Why, there's mutton intil't, and
turnips intil't, and carrots intil't, and"
"Yos, yes," said the Prince, who had
not learned that "intirt" meant "into
it" expressed by the contraction iutil't;
but what is intilt" "Why, there's
mutton intil't, aud turnips intirt, aud
carrots intil't, and" ayes, | see, but
what is intilt" The man looked at
him, and seeing that the Prince was
serious, he replied, "There's mutton in.
tilt, and turnips intil't, and" ayes,
certainly, ! know" urged the inquirer;
but what is intirt-iutil't7" aye
daft gowlIl" yelled the Highlander,
brandishing his big spoon, 'am l no
telling what's intil't1" There's mutton
intil't, and" Here the interview was
brought to a close by one of the Princes
suite, who was fortunately passing, aud
stepped in to save his Royal Highness
from being raped over his head with a
big spoon, IN search for information
from the cook. Manchester Times.

asked him a great many questions about

Just at sunset tho following day an
ther figure made its way across the
moorland toward Briar Lodge-a taller,
statcler figure than Herbert's. 1t was the
Colonel himself. 1t was over twenty
years since he had taken that walk, and
he hesitated now-almost afraid to stir
the slumbering passion of his youth. He
had fought long, hard battle, and if he
had not been victorious, he had at least
retreated with flying colors. Why should
he jeopardizc the little that remained of
his future for the sake of Herbert's hap
piness9 The thoughtless boy might be
grateful to him for an hour, and then he
would live his life alone; for Madeline's
daughter should not haunt him always
with her presence. That would be too
much. At fifty, when the syn of youth
is forever set, and the twilight shadows
creep on apace, he should have peace,
undisturbed by the gnawing of pain
which he thought dead.
But as he strobe along, his fine figure
alert with graceful, easy motion, and On
eager look in his dark eyes, one might
almost have iancied that the years which
had silyered his hair had done no further
damage. And he was himself surprised
to find his heart beating with the old
impatient throb, as he traversed the well
remembered path.
The sun had vanished behind the hill,
leaving a misty pink trail, when at last
Colonel Oyerton passed up the pretty
walk which led to Briar Lodge.
How strangely familiar everything
looked without. The garden still pre-
served the same trim aspect, but as he
was admitted he noticed at once the
subtle change that pcrvaded each nook
and corner.
A blazing log fire cast grotesque
lights over the room into which Colonel
Oycrton was ushersd, and he stood on
the hearth preparing himself for an in
terview which would surely be painful
Que to both.
How would she meet hint With the
same unembarrassed coldness that had so
often wounded bimi His conjectures
came TO a sudden halt, for Madeline had
entered quietly, aul now stood before
him with outstretched hand and faint
smile lowering on lips which tremblel
in spite Of all her efforts.
"You are welcome, Greyille,' she
said, using unconsoiously the familiar
uame, and as the Colonel took her hand
and looked into the sweet, unaltered
face, he felt a strange, wild impulse to
take here in his arms and forget the in.
teryening years.
Somehowat the sight Of him a crowd
Of tender memories swept over the
sleeping heart of Madeline Wears. A
feeling deeper than friendship made the
blood mount slowly into her cheek. She
withdrew her hand from his grasp, aud
said in low, hurried voice, 81 will
