Moonshiners' Association.

Charley T. DIzey, the author Of an
Old Kentucky, relates some interesting
stories about the moonshiners Of Ken

sOeiated while visiting the section in
search Of material for his play

many of them" said he, "and learned OF
the existence ofa very strange sort of as
sociation havingi its headquarters in one
Of the counties in southern Kentucky
bordering on Tennessee. The object Of
the association was to protect the mem
bers from the government and to encour-
age the manufacture and sale Of Illicit
whisky. Whenever member of the
band was arrested by the 'reyenooers, as
the revenue officers are called, thres or
four others would testify 10 an alibi.
Each member vas bound by an oath
signed in blood to kill anyone who in
formed on another In this way they
hoped 10 protect each other from the raids
ofthe deputy marshals. The secret leak

the men, when captured, were taken to
Louisville for trial, but there's lust as
much moonshining done away back in
the fAstness of the mountains as ever.

Perpetual Motion.

Our old friend Perpetual Motion seem

class Of inventors, VINO insist upon still
further swelling the already weIlIined
Golfers Of the Patent Office. The secret
Of the production Of motive power, in a
case which has jlst come under our no.

ratus for utilizing the said force com
prises shaft, mounted ''sJ that lis ends

mechanism, causes its ends 10 move in

1t Pays to Have a Tool Shed.

Every farmer ought to have a shed IN
which to store machinery over winter,
bat not every farmer has one, and often
We see the plow and harrow, the wagon
and the mower, exposed to the weather
all through the winter. If farmers could
only be made to understand that the
neglect of machinery is more destructive
to it than all the use they give, il really
seems as ii they would build shelter for
it as soon as possible. \ cheap shed can
be built in day, and any farmer who
knows how to use q saw and hammer can
build one. The knowledge that tools
can be found when wanted to use, is
worth more in year than the cost Of
the shed. leaving out all other eonsider2-
tions. A good share OF the profits ofthe
ordinary farm is wasted in making good
the loss which comes TO machinery from
gross neglect in taking care Oft, and this
can be cut down in 3 surprising degree
with little expense and labor. II you
have no stOrehOuse, provide shed for
your farm machinery before winter sets
in, and when you have built the shed, see
that all machines are pat under it at
once, and make an inventory Of ali the
tools in it.--Amerieaa Agyieaiturist.

and ilet us hope, an edifying manner, is
related by the Boston Journal:
In early life he hal me. with an acci-
dent which left him broken nose a de-
formity about which, in spite of his piety
he was known TO be a little sensitive.
One day new inquirer propounded the
old question:
"HOw happened you to break your
nose?"
The minister answered solsmnly:
"TO tell the truth, my friend, the acci-
dent was eIused by poking my nose into
other peoples business"

Do Monkeys TAX =?

From the Harrisburg Telegraph
Professor Garner after a six months
sojourn in Africa, announces that his for
mer opinions concerning the ability Of
monkeys to converse, is now most en-
phatically confirmed. Il IS interesting to
note in this connection, that the savage
tribes Of Africa all believe that the vari-
Gus species of monkeys have language
as definite and comprehensive as that OF
human beings. Unfortunately Prof Gar
ner's phonograph and camera never
reached him, SO that his researches were
somewhat hampered, although most sat
isfactory on the whole. The whole sci
entific world is now interested in the
question of the Simian language. It
would appear that the different tribes Of
monkeys, as the gorilla, chimpanzee, le-
mus, etc, have quite different tongues,
bearing about as much resemblance 10
each other as to French and German and
Latin. The peculiar part about all these
investigations IS that scholars seem 50
astoGnded to find that the lower animals
can converse with each other. To rs
there is no cause Of wonderment in this
phase Of the question. OF course the
cries, the sounds and utterSnces must
have meaning definite and tangible.
Nature does nothing uselessly. II the
monkeys have the power to make sounds,
it Is for some purpose 10 IS marvellous,
however, TO realize the advance ofscience,
and to know that mans Ingenuity may
De able to bridge the ehasm between aim
and the lower mammals, so that, ere
long, we may be able to know something
of the feelings Of inferior intelligences
to know to what extent are developed
thir affections, their sense of right and
wrong. their sympathies and their
emotions. Once started in this direction,
science will not stop with the language
Of the monkeys alone. Doubtless ali
animals have means of communicating,
though as We pass down in the scale of
life the language must become more
simple TO fit the undeveloped intel
LICENCES using it. TAat bees and birds
and CONS and squirrels and all mammals
do communicate, however, in some
degree. cannot be doubted by any sane
person, and century hence the scientist
may be able to interpret for his age all
the thoughts and feelings of what We call

Saved q Train

A farmer this morning Tagged the
regular Hinckley train, just before it
reached the Elk River bridge, about
seven miles east of this city, and thus
prevented what might have proven
a most disasterous wreck. The
farmer had discovered that the Great
Northern bridge which crosses Elk
River was on fire. Several stringers
were burned through, and had a
train passed onto the bridge it would
have collapsed.
The regular Hinckley is mixed
train. 1t is principally made up OF
freight, but. a passenger cOacl. and a
baggage car are attached. After
the engineer had stopped and
ascertained the cause of the warning
the train was backed to st. Cloud
and Il work crew was started out at
once, which eXtinguished the fire and
| repaired the bridge. The train
proceeded this afternoon There
were number of passengers on the
train besides the crew.-Journal
