"A Friend Of the Farmer.

The hop growers Of Otsego county
have discovered what naturalists have
long been trying to make farmers under
stand-that skunks, instead of being
their enemies, as they formerly supposed
are among their most useful friends. AS
one hop grower expressed it, Nowadays
we protect skunks as carefully as we do
song birds"
Hop yards, it,appears, are infested by
a certain kind of grub which gnaws off
the tender vines at the root, and this
grub is the favorite food of the skunk.
: AS a general thing the slzunks sally
forth at nightfall, but now and then they
are to be seen at work in broad daylight.
The proceeding is an interesting one to
watch.
The skunk begins his quest on the edge
OF the yard, where he cocks his head over
hill Of hops and listens If grub is
at work upon one Of the four trailing
vines, his quick ear is sure to hear it. At
once he begins to paw up the earth, and
presently he is seen to uncover the grub
and swallow it with unmistakable relish.
Then he listens again, and if he hears
nothing proceeds to the next hill. And
so he goes on till he has had his fill
Now that the skunks are no longer
molested, they have become compara-
lively fearless. Sometimes, we are told,
they keep uptheir operations even while
the cultivation is driven between the
rows.-Cor. New York Tribune

Two CHARGES.

There was suit tried in the United
States circuit court at Raleigh some
years ago in which a Baltimore commits
sion house was plaintiff and General
Bryan Grimes, who led the last charge
at Appomattox, was defendant. Judge
Bond, who presided, was strongly anti
southern during the war and citizen
of Baltimore. The late Governor Fowle,
who was very eloquent lawyer, repre-
sented General Grimes, and in his ap-
peal to the jury laid full stress on the
character and record of his client and
dwelt eloquently on the last charge at
Appomattox." Coming out Of the court,
he said to the opposing counsel (now
Judge Fuller Of the United States land
claims court), Fuller. that last charge
at Appomattox has got me the jury
Eyes," said Fuller very quietly; land
that last charge of Judge Bond has got
me the verdict" And so it proved

The Work of q London Writer,

IT. P" stands alone among popular
Journalists in that practically all his
work is done for one paper, The Weekly
Sun, of which he is the founder and ed
itor. He knows as well as any one the
value of his own pen, and he takes care
to write the most important parts of the
paper himself and to append his famous
initials to all his work. A casual glance
through number of the paper will serve
to show the amount and variety of his
weekly labors.
First there is review of the hook
of the week. which invariably extends
over five closely packed columns. This
article, always conspicuously brilliant,
would be a good two days work for
any writer. Then there are the editorial
notes from one to two columns: an inter-
view with some celebrity, one column;
theatrical critiques, two or three col
umns, and lastly few paragraphs on
the correspondence page. All these are
signed 1T. p" Yet Mr. O'Connor con-
trives to keep in tho forefront of the
political battle and also to write an oc-
'casional book-London Tit-Bits.

The New and the Beautiful.

THAT is the most peculiar and as
founding faculty Of the mind that calls
the new, the beautiful" said Charles
Tr:pysax: :!MiN9W, just. think a minute.
Look at the change in fashions. and then
you see it perfectly. The hat that yoa
wore last season-the one with the stiff
rim and soft crown-U5howsnice and nobby
it looked then! Now, when you tried it
on again the other day, accidentally run
ming across it in the locker, why, it
looked. hideous, didn't it? It's impossi-
bic to define why this is so. You can't
say it is because the mind dislikes old
things (some minds don't) nor that all
minds love the new, the change Itisn't
exactly because persons dislike to be odd
or out of date, for some take great de-
light in looking strange and odd
"Others do not wear the new things
first simply to be the first. While do
not think this sense comes from or guides
itself by any one of these influences, yet
the sum Of them all goes to make up
circle of harmony inside of which one
would rather dwell than out There are
thousand little things that the mind
comprehends almost unconsciously and
acts accordingly. 1t is this reflex action
of brain work that makes it possible for
one to understand why we do these
things. st: Louis Globe-Democrat>

Gaylyt De-s.ed Immigrants.

A picturesque party Of Italian immi.
grants landed at the barge Office the
other day. There were about dozen
men and six or eight women. The men
wore clothing of a rough, buff colored
material with scarfs and caps Of bright

headed, but each wore ribbons in her

attention as they struggled up Broadway

They evidently found as much novelty
in their surroundings as the New York

A Paradox Explained.

Why does not a man weigh pound
more Immediately after eating pound
weight of food7 A little reflection will
readily, explain this apparent mystery
During the process of mastication. de-
glutition, etc.. certain muscles are
brought into active play, and the exer-
else of any muscle necessitates a tempo
rary waste Of its tissues, and certain
amount of carbon is eliminated and
passed off during the course of the meal.
This loss, however. is trifing as COM
pared with that due to respiration and
perspiration, both of which are increased
during the various operations of making
meal
The length OF time one may take to
consume pound of food makes but lit
tie difference to those losses, for if it is
eaten leisurely there is but slight in
crease of respiration or perspiration,
whereas if it is hurried through both are
abnorlnalY accelerated. Hence by the
time the pound is eaten the consumer
has lost appreciably in moisture and car
bonic acid.-Million

The Expansion of Solid Bodies.

An ingenious instrument for measur-
ing the expansion of minute solid bodies
is found in the list of inventions. The
substance is placed in the field of a mi
croscope and an image Of it magnifel
several times is thrown on screen.
This image is further magnifed by two
micrometer microscopes which accur-
ately determine the expansion. The
substances heated in a little platinum
oven through which an electric current
passes, and the temperature of the oven
is arrived at by observations on, the
melting Of standard substances. By the
use of this instrument the thermal ex-
pansion of any substance even to the
smallest diamond can be determined un-
til the temperature of combustion is
reached. Exchange

Various Sources of Silk,

Silk worms are not the sole source of
the production Of silk; it is also obtained
from several vegetable substances, but
of an inferior and less durable descrip-
ton. Excellent colored silk is obtained
from the prepared and finer fbers of the
bamboo, which is much in demand for
clothing in tropical countries from it's
lightness and porosity. Another form of
silk is obtained from the pods Of the silk
cotton tree, Of which there are several
varieties in existence, the material OBJ
tanned from them being known as vege-
table silk.-Brooklyn Eagle

Chased With q N1outhful.

Captain Bendire, a well known orni-
biologist, was riding along the banks Of
Rilitto creek, Arizona, when he saw a
big black hawk. He followed the flying
bird and at length came up with it,
perched on q dead limb of cottonwood
tree A bulky nest was in fork of the
tree about 40 feet from the ground. The
mate Of the hawk which the captain had
been following was sitting on the nest.
Hoping to secure a trophy, Captain
Bendire climbed up to the nest, in which
he found a single pale blue egg. The
parent birds circled around manifesting
their anger at the intrusion by shrill
screams, but the captain took the egg.
He put it in his mouth for safe keeping,
as he required both hands in his descent.
Suddenly from his elevated perch he
caught sight Of several Apache Indians
crouched in small canyon about 80
yards distant. They were evidently
watching hink ~,
He was awake to his danger in an in

The Evolution of Names.

The evolution Of names from foreign
tongues into English is in many cases
easy. From the German Bauer to the
English Bowers, and from the French
Boulanger to the English Bullinger is
but a step, as it were. But there are no
people who are oftener more humorously
accused of altering their names than the
Irish. Thus, Crehan has become Rehan;
Carroll, Karl; Dillon, Dyllyn; Diver,
Devere and Devyr; McCarty, Macartee
and Makart; Slattery, Slater and Satter-
lee; O'Brien, Obrion and Breen; McGin-

Bella French Swisher, author
and poet, Georgia woman, some
months ago while visiting Texas
Poor House found there John Scott,
an old Confederate soldier, totally
blind, who, having lost his dis
charge papers, could not gain ad-
mittance to the Confederate Home.
lie had been in the poor house
six years; and during that time he
! had appealed. to hundreds Of peo-.
pie. for PHYS sake, 10 prove up his
services; but no one. had responded.
Mrs. Swisher learned from him
the addresses OF persons, whom he
thought likely to know of his hav-
ing been in the Confederate army.
She wrote to them. But they had
either died or forgotten John Scott.
No answers came. She then tried
advertising, which proved a success.
The first lieutenant of his company
responded, sending an affidavit of
the enlistment and honorable dis
charge of the poor, old, blind soldier.
1t was nearly dinner time when
the letter was received, but Mrs.
Swisher did not wait for dinner.
She harnessed her horse with her
own hands, and drove out TO the
poor house to bring John Scott to
Austin returning, in due time,
with the old Confederate soldier
under her charge, whom she enter
tanned as a guest until he could be
admitted according to rules to the
home.
That evening when the family
sat down to supper, the lady Of the
house heaped the old soldiers plate
with the choicest food that the
table afforded but soon noticed
that he ate very little, and she re-
markee to that affect.
Mr.. Scott raised one of his with
cred hands to his eyes and dashed
away tear before replying.

piled, 81 was expecting to die in
the poor house. A great weight

The next day Mrs. Swisher set
out with him to gain his admission
to the Home. A physicians certi-
ficate, the permission of the director
and an order signed by either the
judge or county clerk had to be OBJ
tanned before he could be admitted.
The judge was sick, the clerk alb
sent, and young Mr.. Brown, the
acting clerk, demurred at signing
the order.

"My friend" she responded soft
ly, 81 am sure that even if you
should swear to what is false, in
this case the recording angel will
let fall tear and blot the record
out forever
Without another instant's hesita-
ton, the young man caught up his
pen, and signed the order. John
Scott was then admitted to the
home.
A little later, Mrs. Swisher call

protege liked his new quarters. He
