Instinct seldom Goes Wrong.

Il had an experience to be remem-
bered ONE at Moosehead," said
Joseph Williams, a laborer on the
Lewiston streets. "Three of us were
out on the lake one winters day in
January when a storm came up. We
had a couple of horses and rode on
sledges made of split Dir h poles. To
get home and settled in the cabins
before night came on was our one
wish, but for two hours the icy clouds
had been blowing up on the horizon
and now came down in a whirl of
snow and icy wind. In half an hour
we weIe lost on the ice. Two hours
later we crossed our own tracks again
aud knew that we had been going
about In a circle. To stay out there
all night would be death, and to
Keep on travelling about aimlessly
meant to fal at last exhausted.
Finally, as the wind blew keener
along the level surface and the snow
beat on u brOnZed faces with more
cutting effect, we called a halt and
discussed again the chances. An old
guide who was with us su ,gested
that we let the horses take their own
way off the lake. 1t seemed foolish,
but We agreed. Striking the horses
smart clips with the whips we were
surprised to see them turn each to
the left and start of east. We
thought this would take US farther
into the lake, but submitted. and in
half an hour the trees along the bank
doomed up through the storm, and
we were safe. A horse knows
by instinct what a man doubts and
questions in such times Lewiston

Tabby Lives on Vegetables

There is a cat in the seclusion of
Hampton Court, England which has
become a strict vegetarian. certainly
on principle, since there is plenty of
meat to be had. This eccentric creature
black from rose to tail, has taken for
her chief diet scarlet runner beans.
Cucumbers she also likes, and carrots,
if they are boiled, while she occasion
ally nibbles away at other vegetables.
But, for some inscrutable reason, this
singular cat will not touch fruit, and,
although she will drink milk, she re-
jects the bread that may be mixed with
1t. Altogether, there is some talk OF
taking this queer animal to London to
have the philosophers talk over her.

A Big Sewer.

Philadelphia is going to give the
world an excellent object lesson in
sewer building" said Francs Heslop
of Pittsburgh to a St Louis Globe.

a large sewer on piles, and If they
succeed in their undertaking, which

Guilty piles Of yellow pine twelve
inches square are to be driven down

THE undertaking has been dis
cussed by engineers tn oughout the
State, and opinions differ very much
as to the result of the undertaking,
which In several features appears to
be daring In the extreme. In this
age OF engineering advancement it is
absurd to say anything is impossible,
and the men in charge of this sineu-
lar work are likely to be able t. con-

INCIDENTS or A WINDY DAY.
Two Runaway Hats, an Oficious Citizen
and Perhaps q Spree.

Two Runaway Hats, an Oficious Citizen
and Perhaps q Spree.
A wind propelled brown Derby hat
rolled rapidly from Park low toward
Nassau street yesterday afternoon,
says the New York Sun, pursued by a
young man. whose lack Of headgear
and eagerness in the chase gave in
dication that he was the owner. At
the corner of Ma sau and Spruce
streets he collided with an older man
and knocked OH the latter's silk hat,
which also became the prey OF the
wind. The two hats rolled merrily
down the Spruce street incline, the
Derby we'll in the lead. and the two
owners followed them. while a crowd
gathered to watch the fun. Up the
hill there came putting a portly and
comfortable looking party, whose at
tention was called to the hats by
sundrY bowls o s''Hi" Hop s'Hey!"
and other equally Ineligible inter-
1~ections from the owners The portly
party essayed to stop the first hat
with his hands, in the manner of one
who grabs for a chicken, gingerly,
and with an evident fear that it
might b tie. The Derby lodged
nimbly by and the portly one then
took a chance at the tall hat. He
stuck out his foot. The silk hat
lightly tripped over it. So did the
owner of the Derby, who was close
behind and didn't have time to stop.
He plunged forward on the back of
his neck, Topped over once and
landed sQuarely upon the silk hat
with a force highly detrimental to its
appearance.
Up he rose with a howl of rage and
welted the surprised portly party in
the diaphragm. Before the other
could retal1ate the owner of the silk
hat arrived and poked bis fist INTO the
the collar Of the proprietor of the
brown derby, which was meantime
making good time toward William
street. Then there was a real TRAN
gular NJ X up, and the crowd of
spectators howled with glee. Pres
emily the man without the brown
Derby bethought hi .nself of his hat,
having satisfied his rage by kicking
the shins of the other two men. He
saw it in the act of rolling beneath
the feet of a team of drat ght horses.
After they had passed over a micro
scopical examination would have been
necessary to identify the remains.
The owner left them lying in the
road, went back to the other two,
who had descended from mutilation
of each others features to mutual
objurgation, and suggested that they
all have a drink and talk the matter
over They disappeared into a
neighboring saloon, and the crowd
melted away. Two minutes there.
after a messenger boy emerged from
the saloon and returned shortly with

She Has Use For GimIets.

An ingenious woman has found new
uses for that common little boring tool
called a gimlet. One night, while stop
ping at a hotel, her room was entered
and robbed. Being a travelling woman
and realizing that the same thing vas
likely to again happen, she hit upon the
gimlet as a protective measure. Every
night thereafter when fate decreed that
she must put up at a hotel. she pro-
duced her gimlets and made windows,
doors and transoms secure by boring
the gimlet' clean through. One night
when she had gimleted her room so
that she was absolutely safe from mid
night mauraders the CRY of "Firel" was
heard. She was up in an instant. She
saw through the transom the reflection
of flames in the hallway. Escape was
cut off from that quarter. She hastily
nnscrewed the gimlets from the win
dow and looking out saw a low roof 30
feet below. So practical a woman
must certainly have had a ,clothesline
handy, and such was the fact. In a
Iiffy she had screwed. two of her much
beloved glmlets intolthe wooden sill,
fastened an end of the rope to themi
and climbed down inssafety to the
roof. The gimlets were burned up In
the fire but the ingenious woman laid
IN another stock, and fromathat day to
this you can always count | on finding
from a half dozen to a dozen of the
gimlets in her satchel.-NewfYork Adj
