History, says the Steele Ozone, does not
give the name Of the paper, but it refers to
advertisii at an early date. Iu Numbers
xiv. IA, Balaam says: "Come, now, and I
will advertise" and Boaz says in Ruth iv, 4,
''And thought to advertise"
Probably Baaan wanted to cell that refrac-
tory mule, and Boaz, who was thrifty farmer,
Is supposed to have wanted more help in
ha,yest. Or may be he wanted wife. Our
authority is mislaid.

Week after week cur exchanges harp upon
the subject Of raising flax. Flax exhausts
land sooner than almost any production OF the
farm. Eight years ago,-F. II. Adams,-then
OF the Grggs Courier, had this to say, and It Is
more applicable now than then: ''The Cour-
ier's advice is not to &c: cranky on the subject.
To raise perhaps a little tlax-in fact, to profit
by the lessons of tho past and farm like east
ern farmers, as distinguished from wheat or
fax or any other speculation. One hen wol't
make man rica. but her eggs will cheer up
the breakfast table. A pig is handy thing to
have out Of the house. A COW adorns barn
yard more than a can of condensed milk.
Potatoes and turnps in the cellar hold oyer a
store bill yard long. Twenty acres of wheat

hundred acres sm0thcred in weeds and chat
Tie mortgages. The rainfall is not necessary
to wash the dust off your machinary. Cattle
will never buck their heads off against straw
stack adjacent to barn yard. Economy Is
wealth, and farmer ought to raise the most
Of what he consumes.
Miss Lizzie Smith happened to quite
serious accident yesterday, and the result of
which was close call Of death. Size had
been over to the depot, aud when returning
was compelled to walk on the main track a
short distance from the platform in order to
keep out of the water which ovartlows tho
sidewalk at that pout. When walking along
The track facing the severe north wind the
engine ran up behind her, which she did not
sec nor could she hear the same running, tho
engineer not ringing the bell or blowing the
Whistle. and lust az she was stepping from tho
track tho engine struck hor. knocking her
down. Had the engineer not happened to
SEQ her and Stacked the engine just as ho did
she would have met instant death. A number
OK people standing upon the platform witness
ed the accident, and tried to warn her of her
danger, but the ierceness of the wind blowing
at the time drowned their voiccs. Miss Smith
did not fecl much tho worse from her accident
until nearly an hour after it happened. when
she started with her brother for her homo in
the country. When out about two miles she
was taken suddenly quite i'll and her back
began to pain her 50 severely that she was
Obliged to return to town. and shs is now
confined to her bed from the injuries. It
seeius that the engineer was not on his en-
gne at tho tlmo but tho same was III charge
OF tho fireman, aud the majority claim that it
was due to his carelessness, Be this as it may,
it was narrow escape from death which Miss
Smith had.

REASON Oh INSTINCT.
Awakened Interest in the Intelligence Of
Birds and Animals.

Awakened interest in the Intelligence Of
Birds and Animals.
More than ever the intelligence
OF birds and animals now claims the
attention Of the naturalist. It is
generally conceded that they possess
the intellectual faculty. They associ-
ate cause with effect, protect them
selves against Threatened danger,
and are wOndrOus wise In weather
lore. In She warm days Of July the
cat bird may be seen perched on the
COW branches OF the dOgwood tree,
nttering peculiar low notes, which
are always sure indications of q
thunderstorm In the afternoon or
evening. These notes are never
heard except at this time. The
early flight of wild geese denotes q
storm or spell of cold weather.
The English robin is termed the
naturalist's barometer; for on a sum-
mer's day, though the weather may
be rainy and unsettled, he sometimes
takes his stand on the topmOst twig
that looks up to the sky, or on a
housetOp, singing cheerfully and
sweetly. When this is observed it is
unerring promise of succeeding
..ne days. Sometimes, though the
atmosphere be dry and warm. he may
be seen, melancholy, chirping, and
brOoding, in u bush or low. hedge.
Bears, wolves and other animals scent
the coming rain. The wolves set up
terrible bowling, and. raising their
heads, point their noses in the direc-
tion in which it is coming, often
times twelve hours or more before it
falls. The large Galapagos tortoise
always searches for a place under
cover, into which he may go twenty
four hours or more before the rain.
During the prevalence of cholera in
France, in the districts where the
disease was most prevalent, it was
noticed that the horses became un-
easy, and were affected with the
disease in like manner with man.
There are many instances OF cats
that have been made pets of desert
and death. The intelligence of the
archer fish is really wonderful. 1t
swims near the banks of streams in
search OF prey. As soon as an insect
is seen on the overhanging branch,
he at once fills his mouth with water,
and throws it out in a small stream
with such great precision that he
seldom misses the object, and it falls
into the water and is instantly de-
voured. The gouramie builds nest
for it's young and will defend them
with its life; it is remarkably in
telligent fish. / have had them in con-
tinement, and would frequently call
them from their hiding places among
the rocks in large basin, and they
would come and feed from my hands.
Animals deserve more attention than
they receive. If we studied them
closely, We might, with certain
eminent scientist, take the ground
that their reasoning faculties do not
differ in kind from those of man, and
that they possess the same affections,
virtues, moral sense and capacity for
education.

New Possibilities of Farm Life.

Wherever irrigation prevails, pop
ulation is dense. We may CONFIDENT
ly pre- dict larger population to the
square mile in the reclaimed areas
of most of the Western States than
exists to-day in Massachusetts. In
the nature of the case this must be
true. Most of the valleys are COM
paratively narrow and the cultivable
land is sharply limited by mountain
ranges. Furthermore, land under,
the ditch is valuable and must be
put to the most profitable uses The
larger the capacity OF an acre to pro-,
duce the smaller the average farm
unit will be. Under these circum.
stances, mans ingenuity and energy
will be constantly directed to evolv-
ing conditions of rural life that,
while surrendering none Of its pecu-
liar blessings, shall approach most
nearly to the realization of the best
features of town life. A daring
writer has predicted that electricity,
next to irrigation. will be the largest
factor in revolutionizing the life OF
the farm. He reasons that with the
dense population and high average.
prosperity possible on irrigated lands,
and the abundant and accessible
water power usually existing in con-
nection with canals, electricity will
be used to light and warm the farm
er's home, to propel his agricultural
implements and move his crops over
smooth roads to the market or rail-
road station. Certainly the posi-
bilities for the improvements of social
conditions in such communities are
infinite. One of the advantages al
ready realized is the general cultiva-
tion of trees, hedges and flowers in
the streets and yards. Nowhere else
are such conditions enjoyed as may
be seen in the more advanced COM
munities of arid America. - Review

Thought He Was Shot.

A young man, intent upon patching
up an old hen-coop from which several
of his choicest fowls had mysteriously
disappeared, entered one of the largest
hardware stores on Front street several
days ago for the purpose of investing
two bits in some nails. He had scarcely
crossed the threshold of the store when
one of the men, engaged in carrying
some heavy steel rods, dropped his load
behind him.
The crash of the rods falling to the
floor sounded so much like the sharp
report of pistol that the young man
jumped to one side, as if to escape the
bullet of a second discharge, should
another follow. AS he did so his pri-
vate pocket in the leeward side of his
pants came against a counter with such
force that q well-filled whisky bottle,
carefully concealed therein, was
smashed. The contents, being freed,
naturally ran down the leg of his traus-
ers, and as the bottle had absorbed
considerable warmth from being car
ried so close to his person, it felt no
doubt very much like the sanguinary
fluid.
The young man imagined that he was
struck by bullet. II am shot! am
shot J" he cried in accents Wild "Oh,
yes, am shot; can feel the blood
trickling down my leg"
The powerful and penetrating whisky
fumes, however, We're against him, and
he soon realized his mistake. When
asked how the bottle came there, he in
sisted that he was the victim of prac-
teal joke, and the bottle was placed in
his pocket by some villainous gin-mill
keeper. The sally of laughter that
greeted this explanation SO grated upon
his finer sensibilities that he rushed
out in a rage. He never returned for
the nails, and the infereuce is that his
hen-coop is still an invitation to those
hungry for chicken giblets.-Portland

just as Useful as One Which Costs Much
Money.
1t is no idle boast that a pair Of
kitchen scales can be made with
ball OF Irvine and two pieces of
boards. This unique little kitchen
implement recommends itself espe-
cially for its cheapness. A suitable
place from which the scales may be
suspended will be found beside a
shelf. Two stout nails are driven
into the side of the board, and a
strong piece of Irvine, two yards long,
is selected, and knot tied in the
center of it, the ends being provided
with loops, hanging to the nails.
The platforms for the scale may be
made from heavy pasteboard or thin
pieces OF wood, and these are fastened
with their hangings to the ss-bar,
at distance Of one-quarter yard
each from the center knot which
makes the cross-bar one-half yard
long. A piece of white cardboard is
nailed opposite the knot and the lat
ter's position indicated on the paper

MALIEToA's supremacy in Samoa
is now completely established, and
his ancient rival and enemy, Mataafa,
is not only dethroned, but is to be
depOrted to the Marshall archipelago.
The cruel thing about his expatra-
tion is the fact that his wives will
not be allowed to accompany him.
Mataafa had built up a flourishing
laundry business in Apia. His wives
did the washing and he collected
the bills By this action OF the
foreign powers he is therefore de-
prived of both realm and revenue at

he took up book, but it could not
engross his attention. The afternoon
grew later; the night set in dark and wild.
After the dismal, stately tea, Mr.. As
.ange once more sought his library and
sat down in solitude.
His life was very lonely. His father
ostensibly lived with him, but the old
man was almost constantly in mis- own
apartments. Tonight, as he listened to
the break of the waves on the beach. AL.
bert wished for a companion.
ne house was oppressively quiet; the
children had retired hours since: only
the sound OF the raging tempest came to
this lonely man. He threw himself down
In luxurious easy chair, and let the
glow OF the freight fall over him. The
dancing, fickering flames tired his eyes,
aud he closed them. A wearied feeling
g: came nee over him; presently he slept, but
In that sleep he dreamed"
At first 1t seemed to him as if he were
floating on . sea, and the sea was hion
above the earth, and from it he could
look down and behold beautiful gar
den. which was surrounded by q wall Of
hre. In this garden stood three girls,
Olga. with her bright-red hair, Belle.
coiorless, gaunt and thin, and another
comely little yellow-haired creature,
whose race was angelic in its soft, sweet
beauty.
On the edge of the flaming wall grew a
tree full OF beautiful blossoms, and the
girls all seemed striving to pluck some.
Belle succeeded, and the petals turned
10 an lnky hue as she Rrasped them, but
she laughed and held out her hand to
Olga; and Olga and the other little maid
(whom he thought in his sleep was his
sisters child, Chris ran forward and
caught at one flower, and their hands
met about the bough, and suddenly Belle
mallciously pushed them, and both fell
struggling on the flaming wall.
Then Belle stood and laughed at their
agony; and the flowers hung withered on
the tree; the garden lost all its beauty
and scared and burned by the fire, Olga
and Chris were seen struggling in those
mighty hames' which appeared each mo-
ment to grow stronger; till a snow white
dove came down straight from heaven and
lowered over them, and seemed debating
which she would lift first from the fiery
furnace.
While she was bordering Mr.. Astange
awoke. Awoke trembling and afraid. In
the CRATE the camel coal had burnt to
embers, the lamp on his table had been
extinguished by the draught from the
window.
The room was enveloped in darkness.
Cold beads of perspirat on gathered on
Albert Astange's forehead. He rose to
his feet slowly, as if this were some SOL
emn occasion.
He spoke in kind of Mortified daze,
L am sorry sent that letter. Can it
be possible in rsking that child's soul l
have put Olpa's in jeopardy? OF what
terrible thing in the future does this
dream warn me? What does it mean?
