The Tale of the Witch of Endor.

OF ali Bible stories none is more popu-
lar with children than the tale of the Witch
of Endor. On wet Sunday afternoons the
most admired plate in the folio Bible is
that which shows Saul falling forward on
the EARTH and the witch woman shrinking
back in astonishment and awe, and the
white bearded, shadowy figure of the
prophet rising up from the silence of sheol
The woman of Endor Is beloved by contro
versial infancy, just launched uncun
sciously on the stream of Biblical criei
cism and pleading against the verdict Of
parent or nurse for the existence of ghosts
and witches. The early syllogism runs
thus:
Tho Bible is true.
The Biblo says there were witch and
ghost.
Therefore there arc ghosts and witches.
We often meet with worse arguments in
later life, as when science AYERS:
Il don't take any interest in the ques
sion," with the suppressed inference,
therefore there is nothing in it but non
sense"
Our instructors in our infancy, how.
ever, met our logic with pleas more subtle,
though not wholly satisfying. Thus
There were witches, or at least there was
a witch, but that was before the coming
of the gospel. So now run away and SEE
if you can find ripe strawberry"
Thus was the daring metaphysical spec
ulation of infancy diverted into practical
researches. Or, again, the answer would
be, saul was bad man, and therefore
the devil was allowed to deceive him in
the shape of Samuel" but it does no,
say anything about the devil, and the
ghosts prophecy came true" "Oh, no
doubt that was permitted for wise reasons.
So, now, run away" ut supra.-Andrew
Lang in Contemporary Review.

Preparing Cork.

The methods in vogue in barking and
harvesting the cork in Spain and Portugal
are pretty much the same. The barking
operation is affected when the tree has &C.
quired sufficient strength to withstand the
rough handling it receives during this OPP
GRAFTON, which takes place when it has at
tanned the fifteenth year of its growth.
After the first stripping the tree is left In
this juyenescent state to regenerate, sub
sequent strippings being effected at inter
walls of not less than three years, and I'M
der this process the tree will continue to
thrive and bear for upward of $50 years.
If the bark is not removed artificially, it
will on maturity split and dismantle
itself. This is caused by the fresh growth
of bark forming underneath.
The cork of the first barking is termed
corcho bornio-bornizo, or virgin cork.
The cork of the second stripping is called
pelas or secondary cork. The work of re-
moving the bark from the tree is perform
ed in summer by men, who are always
paid at the rate of IS. Cd. day. The in
struments used for the work are an AK, a
lever and a handsaw for the cutting OF
transversal incisions The first process
through which the bark passes after strip
ping is that of boiling This is sometimes
done in the woods, but more frequently in
the cork factory, in large, specially con
structed caldrons, in which the bark is
left to boil for upward of an hour. This
seething process increases the thickness
and elasticity Of the cork, and at the same
time the tannin and other feculent sub
stances generally existing in tho bark are
desiccated. -Chambers' journal.

The Democratic party is become more
and more aggressive in its attacks upon
Union veterans. There was world of
significant truth in the plak of the plat
form, adopted by the Republican State
convention in New York, which declared
that, under Democratic rule, Union PEN
sioners had been treated as "if the badge
of the Grand Army was the badge of beg
gary and brigandage."
The JOURNAL in recent editorials has
pointed out carefully, and at some length, the
growth of the great Southern conspiracy
against the pension system. Ina recent
speech at Marble Falls, Texu, Joseph D.
Sayres. one of the Democratic members of
Congress from that state, bore testimony to
the progress of this Democratic raid upon
the pensions of zion veterans in the follow
ing language:
1--WE have taken Sl1 900 900 awsy from
the pensioners, and when Congress meets
In December next we viii take $40 900. 900
more off those fellows who came down here
and murdered our people,"

Dogs In War.

A very interesting history might be
written of the part played by living crea-
lures, other than human beings, in war.
As far as we are aware, no convention or
conference has pronounced either for or
against this means Of injuring an enemy.
Where dogs are used as sentinels, or pi-
geons in carrying dispatches, the injury
done by the dumb creatures is not direct.
The service rendered to their own side
may be no less great than that Of the geese
which saved the capital or Of the dog which
foiled Aurangzeb in his siege of Golconda
and was rewarded with golden collar,
but in neither Of these cases is the attack
confided to bird or animal.
But dogs have been used, and by our
selves, to attack an enemy. The Celts
used them, the Gauls used them, Column
bus used them, Queen Elizabeth is said to
have given Essex 600 fighting dogs for
purposes of war, and late in the eighteenth
century 100 bloodhounds were landed In
Jamaica by our government to attack the
Maroons. Fortunately it was destined
that the disgrace of using them should be
spared us, for the enemy, hearing of the
dogs, surrendered without blow.
Effectively as dogs may be trained to de-
stroy human beings, it has been well said
in this connection that, in the words Of
Pascal, lie c9ur n SEES raisons que la raj
son ne connoist pas. Saturday Review.

1t is evident that the anti-snapper wing
of the Democratic party in New York state
is not going to enthuse over the nomination
of David B. Hill. Already the friends of
the senator's fat client" are quietly organ
izing and big bolt is on the Democratic
taps in the Empire state. The friends Of
the administration appreciate very clearly
the fact that the election of Senator Hill as
governor of New York this fall, would
practically insure his nomination as the
next Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency. The very thought Of it is sufficient to
give the cuckoos cold chill. But they
also see very clearly that the defeat of
Hill this fall would effectually shut him off
from further honors at the hands of his
party. 1t would make him q dead fly in
the political ointment. Hence it is that
one after another the leading Democratic
newspapers of New York, favorable to the
administration. are coming out against the
gubernatorial nominee of their party, and
prominent Democrats of the anti-snapper
faction are holding meetings for the pur-
pose of organizing a big bolt, The more
the situation develops the more evident it
becomes that Mr.. Hill will be showed I'M
der by rousing majority at the November
election,

Elections.
(Washington Post, Ind.)

The gressional campaign committees
are beginning 10 take account of stock. In
other words, with the day of election only
about five weeks distant, there is a natural
inclination to survey the field and determine,
if possible, the size of the harvest that is to
be gathered in. Very naturally the spectacles
through which the Democrats and Repub-
licans gaze at the congressional districts,
do not produce the same results, but the
difference is not as marked as one would
suppose.

Lieutenant Peary appears to have been
unfortunate enough to include in his latest
Arctic expedition number of chronic
GROWERS. They are now taking advantage
of his absence in the frozen north to do a

The morning express on the B. & A.from
Houlton had race with moose the other
day. Between Island Falls and Crystal.
about 80 miles out of Houlton, the engineer
saw a huge moose on the track, watching
the approaching train and evidently unde-
termined whether to derail it or jump off
and let it 60 about its business. The engi-
neer blew succession of sharp blasts with
the whistle and this the moose evidently
took for the word 60 for a race between
himself and the train. At any
rate he turned and with the train not
more than dozen rods from him he started
down the track. The train was moving at
the rate of 40 miles an hour, but the moose
flew like the wind and kept bis distance.
The passengers heard the warning blast of
whistle and knew that something was on
the track. but not until the train reached
Crystal station did they learn that they had
been racing with moose. For a quarter
of mile the big animal kept up the almost
incredible pace necessary to keep ahead of
the train, and then, as if satisfied that he
had convinced his competitor that the steam
engine isn't of much account in sprinting
match with moose, he left the track and
plunged into the woods without as much as
glancing behind him.
