The Lament of a Gamekeeper.

Dean Hole in his Memories" men,
lions an old gamekeeper who sorrowful-
" surveyed model farm as if 1t had
been some fair city overthrown by an
earthquake and remarked dolefully,
GIVE known the time when that farm
was as pretty spot for game as could
be found in the county, and now-why,
there amt place where partridge can
make nest, or hare or rabbit can hidel
whats the good o the place now"
he went on. "You see that grass field
yonder. Well, you'll scarcely believe it,
but it was once the beautifulest bog for q
jack snipe as ever you'd wish to see. I've
killed three couple of a morning among
the tussocks and rushes afore they spoilt
it with them drains!"
"Ah," said the dean, "but you must
not forget that there Is more wheat and
more food than before the land was re-
claimed"
"Ya, and what's the use Of itf" the
eamekeeper said. whats the good Of
wheat which 1t do not pay to raise when
them foreigners are ascending more'n we
want? And more's the shame, the farm

His Two Works of Art.

One day the swell artist was passing
the house Of the younger one, and the
latter called to him, "Mr. =, have
just finished two pictures entirely differ

your opinion on them" The great man
said he would be only too happy to look
at them; so, ushering him into the house
and opening the parlor, the owner point
ed to two pictures hanging on the wall
and said: "There they are One picture
is of my father copied from an old fash

The artist, after adjusting his eye

HOW a Snake Swallows a Frog.

The method of swallowing is a very
simple one, althoughif the frog be large
more than half an hour may be consumed
in the process. The two bones Of the
lower jaw are separate ard capable OF
independent movement; so the reptile
loosens its hold upon one side of Its jaw,
and pushing that side forward as far as
possible it drives the teeth in again and
then draws the jaw back to its original
position.
The result is that the prey is drawn
down by the movement. The process is
then repeated by the other half of the
jaw, thus Inevitably forcing the victim
inward. The snakes skin stretches enor-
mously, and the jaw is of course dislo-
Gated, but the e1tensible igaments hold
the bones together.-A. G. Mayer in
Popular Science Monthly.

AsHE COUNTY.

The lack of railway facilities has
prevented the most Northwestern
county of North Carolina from
reaching the q development which
might have been expected from early
reports. In 1889 Prof Mitchell
made a report to the State Board of
Agriculture He described the coun-
try as primitive. There was there
fore no lead and gypsum to be found
as in the district lying North in
Virginia. The iron ore he described
as being near the northern boundary
and on the North Fork of New River
OF these iron ores he said: whether
we regard the ease with which they
are wrought or the excellence of the
iron manufactured from them, are
probably not surpassed by those of
any other country. OF the New
River ore Prof. Mitchell said it ap-
peared to be "a pure oxide; the rock
in which it lies embedded is gneiss,
without any injurious ingredient:
there is plenty of wood and water
power"
There were then but two FORCES in
operation in the New River portion
| of Ashe county. One was owned by
Col. Ballow; the other belonged to
Maj. Findlay and Col. Waugh. But
it will be the fault of the persons to
whom the ore beds belong, and oil
the workmen, if this district does
not become the scat of manufac-
ture of iron, not surpassed for being
| converted into steel, or indeed for
any other purpose, by any in the
| world"
Prof. Mitchell wrote further of this
county: "Ashe appears to be rich
in mineral species; that's, in those OF
crystalline forms and rare cembina-
tions of the chemical elements which
| mere mineralogists are so eager to
collect into their cabinets; but its
wealth in this particular will not be
ascertained till some person resident
in the county shall embark in the
business of exploring it and continue
in it for some years. The neighbor-
hood of Joshua Cox, near the mouth
of Cranberry creek, would probably
afford him a richer harvest than any
other. On Canada Richardson :
land the garnet is large, perfect and
beautiful. On Jas. Mulkey's limpid
quartz is obtained in large pieces
Besides these there are other inter
esting minerals
Over sixty years have passed away
| and Ashe is quite an undeveloPed
county. THE SENTINEL would be
pleased to see it open and prosper; il
should have railroad connection first
Of all. Then this paper will be glad
| to further it's material welfare.

Is it possible for person to live
200 years? A writer in an Ameri-
can magazine affirms that it is. His
idea is that in order to prolong life
the foods containing the most de-
structive elements should be avoided
and that some substance which will
check deposits or expel them from
the system should be used. He says:
"Avoid all foods rich in the earthly
salts, using much fruit, especially
juicy, uncooked apples, and to take
daily two or three tumblerfuls of dis
titled water with about ten or fifteen
drops OF diluted phosphoric acid in
each glassful.'

TO SECURE IMMIGRANTS.

One of the most important ques-
tions with the South today is that
of securing a desirable class of i'm
migrants. 1t cannot be too often
nor too strongly urged. OF course
we do not want any of the hetero-
'geneous mass that is filing up many
of the cities North and West and
which b. come disturbing element
wherever they locate-the paupers,
criminals and socialists who are re-
garded ii happy riddance from the
over crowded districts of Europe.
Immigrants of a desirable class
men who will make good citizens and
become important factors in the
development of the waste places and
| resources of the South-may be Sc
cured if gone at in practical and
business-like way, and no more
feasible plan occurs to us than that
suggested by an article in recent
issue of "Dixie," to wit: Get the
railroads interested in the matter.
From a business point of view, the
railroads hold the key to the situa-
ton and could make the colonial
ton of immigrants along their lines
source of permanent and perpetual
profit. When this matter is under
taken land by syndicates and immi-
grafton bureaus, their interest in the
immigrants is practically ended
when the immigrants arrive and
have purchased their homes, while
with railT Dads the case is just the
opposite-tLeir interest really begins
with the settling up of the lands
along their routes and the building
of towns and villages. In the South
there are hundreds and hundreds OF
miles of railroad through sparsely
settled sections of uncultiyated land.
much of which is fertile and capable
of sustaining a large population.
Suppose this land were brought
into cultivation and farm and in
dustrial villages built up along the
lines of railroad, it is easy to see
that it must furnish the roads a
largely increased business and one
that would he augmented year by
year as the farms and villages in
creased in productiveness and i'm
portance. Then, from purely bust
ness standpoint, the railroads should
take an active interest in securing
desirable additions to our popula-
ton from the oyer-croWded factories
and farms of Europe and from the
.sblizzard'' and ''sigzafd" swept
plains of the West.
No organization which has or can
be formed can deal with the immi-
grafton question SO successfully and
profitably as the railroads, which
have every advantage for adyertis-
ing lands and inducing settlers TO
seek homes in the South. They have
the facilities for transportation by
land and are ina position to secure the
most favorable concessions from the
steamship companies. TWAS chiefly
through the fundamentally of the
great trunk lines of the West that
that section has received it's great
nfiux of immigrants, and the rail-
roads of the South must take She
matter in hand before much will be
done in securing industrious homes
builders for this section.
