Soap Suds for Calming Waves.

The remarkable action of oil upon
waves is we'll known. This phenome-
Nh led the officers of the steamship
Scan,lin. OF Hamburg, to make IN ex.
pertinent upon the same principle that
was very successful, and that appears
to us worthy of mention. During it's
last trip to the United States the ves-
sci, while in mid ocean, was attacked
by very heavy storm. 1t then oc-
Cured to the officers to dissolve q
largo quantity Of Eoap in tubs OF
water. Having thus obtained several
hundred gallons Of soap suds in n very
short time they threw it overheard in
front of the ship. The effect WAS nj.
soon began to navigate without diff
Guilty. Her officers Mt once addressed
n long report 70 Tho Hyirographi,
Bureau of the United States, giving
M account of their voyage, the storm,
and the means that they employed to
still the waves. They concluded by
saying that although soap suds does
not produce absolutely aii the effects
upon water that oil does, it Mt least
eulliccs to break the force of waves in
most cases. Besides, this method
recommends itself to transportation
companies careful of their interests.
Soap suds is much cheaper than oil,
and n relatively largo quantity of
soap can be carried without encroach-
ing too much upon tho space set
spart for passengers and merchandise.

4 Dog With n Wooden Leg.

':Did you ever hear of n dog. having
n wooden leg ?" inquired 5. p. Ordway,
of LoSansport, Ind. 81 know man
near where [ live who has small dog,
one of whose front legs was crushed
some time ago by wagon wheel. Be-
ing something of surgeon, his mas
ter carefully amputated tho crushed
leg, and when the wound was healed
provided the dog with light and
strong wooden leg. In the course o.
time tho dog, which is very intelli-
gent little animal, became aware that
he could rest his weight upon this
wooden leg and use it for all ordinary
purposes. In walking or trottinS tho
dog always uses his artificial limb, but
if he has occasion to do any fast rum
ming or lcaping, ho will gracefully
hold up tho woo,!cn leg and depend
solely upon the other three for the
service required. st. Louis Globe

iiOW to Test a Diamond.

One Of the easiest and most trust.
worthy modes of determining whether
a supposed diamond is genuine or
false is as follows Pierce hole in Il
card with n needle or pin, and then
look at it, using the stone as II lens.
If the supposed diamond is genuine
you will see but one hole; if false,
two will appear. With an imitation
stone you may also sec the lines on
the skin of your finger; with the true
gem you cannot. - ST. Louis Republic.

after a little effort, succeeded in GRASP
ing one of the beams overhead. Then
he began swaying on the rope. He
had an insecure hold, but within few
minutes his heart leaped ns deep
boom rang out from the bell. Harder
and harder he worked, and the notes
of alarm followed close upon each
other. Soon the old bell was ringing
out wild peal and the timbers under
his hand vibrated with it's movement.
Suddenly, through the clangor of
the bell he heard tho sound of voices.
Then light shot up from up the
opened trap door. and voice called
out to know what was the matter.
There WAS note of alarm i'll the. qucs
tion; for, this bell ringing, apparently
without hands, was enough to make
anyone bit fearful.
Ralph quickly told them how mat

''Look ont for the rats -
The man below held a lantern high
above his head, and then crawled upon

Ralph recognized tho men as neigh.

from his awkward perch.
No rats were TO be seen. Frightened
10y the light and the presence of SO
many persons, the vicious little beasts
had retreated.
Ralph did not wait to investigate
more. Once down the ladder ho told
his story to the startled congregation,
which had nearly all assembled, and

are to brother, she having always
made her home with him up to the
time of her marriage. Col. Dennis
was a prominent lawyer and was well
known and highly esteemed through
out his section of the State. DIR. Nor

There's Truth in This.

The editor is frequently advised to
mitch into somebody, and to make
vigorous attacks on certain institutions.
A dog fight will always attract
crowd. but none of them are willing to
be the dogs. \ day seldom passes in
the office of a newspaper without visit
from some one who has fault to lind
with somebody or something. He
wants the editor to attend to the
matter for him. Why don't you
score 'em:' he says. Then he goes
into details, talks about this and that
being and outrage, etc. When the
editor tells him he will publish his
complaint provided he will sign it, he
saws: 20, no, don't want to put
nv name to it-don't want to get IN
trouble with these people, don't you
see? Can't you put it in shape OF an
editorial ?" He does not care what
trouble the editor MAY get into by
publishing his grievance, but is toe
politic or too cowardly to assume the
responsibility himself. There are
plenty such people in every community
The newspaper man always finds ou'
who they are.-Erchdnge.
