LIFE HISTORY OF CORALS.
Tne Process by Which Massive Great ISL
ands are Created.

To Reaumur is due the improving
legend that coral islands are built by
the accumulated efforts of an industri-
Gus insect Pliny, in like manner, quite
gravely records the ancient belief that
little sucker fish could hold a ship
against the impelling violence of a
storm, and apostrophizest the deplora BILE
vanity of mankind when confronted
with the fact that their armored YES
sells could be held bound and immov-
able by little fish six inches long.
The wonders of nature do not really
need these imaginary Establishments
The life history of corals is sufficient
ly remarkable in it's sober facts. Like
other animals, they produce eggs, from
which free swimming young are
Matched. But they have two other
methods of agation-namely, gem
nation and fssiparity. Between ami
mails and plants in general there is no
distinction which makes itself more
prominent and obtrusive than the free
individual life of the one and the fixed
colonial life of the other By gs;ana-
ton, the successive putting forth of
buds, an industrious vegetable, start
ing with a seed of insignificant size,
may build a massive structure, some
times four hundred feet in height, the
resultant of individuals almost innum-
erable, belonging to hundreds or thou
sands of generations, all of them the
living members of single family, sue
cessively sacrificing their individuality
to promote the common good and to
share 1T.
This procedure in plant life is illus
trated by an endless diversity of exam
pies, great and small Whatever ex
ceptions there may be, this, to the
ordinary observer, is the customary,
the commonplace, the distinctive habit
in the vegetable kingdom. Thus it
came to pass that men did not believe
their own eyes when they met with
animals behaving in way that seemed
to be the patent right of vegetables.
The isolated sea anemone was well
understood, but creatures of precisely
similar structure, which took to sprout
ing out of stems and branches, had to
be incontinently handed over to the
botauist st-Edinburgh Review.

Riding Down a Wolf.

1t has been often noticed in India
how fast wolf travels by means of
lounging, loping trot that is by no
means suggestive of speed. While one
gallops after it as hard as a good horse
can go, the wolf pursued, never appar-
emily hurrying, lollops along at pace
that equals that of the following steed.
/ have heard it said that no horseman
ever rode wolf down; but to this
statement | must demur, inasmuch as
l have done this thing. Perhaps my
wolf was sick. BE that as it may,
did, when out pig-stick-ing in the Can
ges country over against Colgong, fol-
low a wolf, and that wolf turned
sharply when l closed ith it, and the
horse rode Ia rare good one), kicked
it over with his fore feet, and made
the matter of spearing my wolf sim

of that day found explanation of this
performance in the fact that had rid
den another mans horse with my own
spurs. s.-Blackwood's Magazine.

EAST BENTON.

We are enjoying good spring wealth.
er at this writing but great many are
complaining sick. The grippe has
about tackled everyone in this section.
Henry c. Hess one of our Oldest
and most respected citizens, invited
his two grand sons who are both grown
up young men and fist rate good fel,
lows, out to shoot mark on New Years
day. Mr.. II. taking his old time
twist cut, the young men their improv
ed arms. After firing about nine
rounds each, it was discovered by the
score that the old gentleman was
several poln,s ahead.
Mr.. James Shultz, another standby,
and an old resident of this section has
been seriously sick the past week.
The hotel at Central will change
hands again about February Ist. The
people seem to like the change.
Not very much work now until
spring opens up, and what work has
been done here was mostly through
contractors who employed their help
from elsewhere.
1t would be no more than right for
these same parties that expect to live
off the public to let them get their
support from others.

What Patriots We Are (2)

What patriotism there is in this
country is gradually working to the
top. Every little while we see evidence
of it. The citizen who refused to 60
to the army until his district, or some
fellows equally brave (2) as himself,
offered and paid him a bounty for do
ing so, is now the most clamorous for
exhorbitant pensions. The statesman(1)
who was in the hey dey OF life during
the war, but kept far away from it.
has now the most to say in keeping
alive the prejudices and sectional bit
terness that should have been buried
with Lees surrender. The soldier (1)
who joined the "diarrhoea corps" be-
fore he got to the front and who stuck
to 1t until he got discharge, is the
one whose recollections are the most
vivid of the b'oody battles he never
saw and of hArdships and bravery to
which he was an entire stranger. The
churches that demanded contribution
on top of contribution, for relief or
ganizations at the front, ami whose
pulpits resounded with denunciations
OF their own members, and everybody
else, who could not believe that carry
ing on war was the proper means Of
adjusting differences between sister
states, or settling disputes between
Our own people, have not forgotten
their patriotism, and thirty years after
the close of the war come to the front
with the bounty taker, the hanger
round the hospital, the stay at home
howler, and demand their pound of
flesh for services rendered the govern
ment in the hour of its necessity.
A case of the latter kind comes
from our neighboring town of Tyrone,
where a little wooden church, the cost
of which was less than $500, was used
for few weeks during the war for
sleeping quarters for men who were
enlisting in the service. 1t now de-
mands of the government, through
congressman Hicks, $4,000 as re i'm
bursement for its use. Had any one
at the time its doors were opened to
tiiS WlO WClC Otl
their way to the front, intimated that
it was not patriotism or love of the old
flag, that actuated its trustees, he
would have been denounced a traitor,
and pointed to as an enemy of the
government. AT that time to doubt
the purpose of those who were de-
manding war, or to suspect the ser.
vices that were SO blatantly offered,
when and where there was no danger
was to make ones self liable to arrest
and imprisonment as we'll as to social
and political ostracism.
But time seems to uncover much
that was hidden. And nothing that it
exposes does it show palmer than the
deception, the hypocracy, the pretense
and the parsimony, that wrapped It
self in the flag and paraded as "patri-
otism" here at home during the dark
days of the war Watchman.
