The improvements made by settlers
throughout our county must be seen
to be appreciated. We noticed. a few
days since. the changes on the farm
of p. w. Stephan, eight miles down
the river. During the last year he
has changed the entire appearance of
the place, by large clearing, new and
commodious buildings, setting a fine
orchard, building fences, etc. His
son, Leon j., on the next section, is
also changing his place from wilder
ness to a garden. Both have fine fish
ponds. fed from springs, well stocked
with trout and Rrayling and are stu
ated to enjoy life.

The Monkey as a Pottery Maker.

According to the North China
Herald, which is probably published
by some imaginative American. there
is a tribe of monkeys in China, in
habiting the country adjacent to the
great wall, which is we'll along in the
arts. making their own wine and re-
ceptacles for holding it. DIR. Mac
Gowan, an English resident of LIE
Cheun, quotes from an old Chinese
writer in evidence of the above: - =
On a certain day the people pre-
pared a feast for the monkeys, plac-
ing the viands near their caves.
Upon discovering it they all retired
to their dens and each returned with
aqueer-shaped earthen jug. The viii
layers seeing this. scarce the mon

facture, as vas also the wine which

HE WANTED TO SHOW OFF.
But Found Out That He was Not Quite
as Young as He Used to Be.

But Found Out That He was Not Cutie
as Young as lie Used to Be.
He had been something OF an
athlete in his youthful days, but
after he was married he stopped
turning handsprings and confined
his athletics to an occasional soiree
with the sawbuck. He suddenly dis
covered the other day that his boys
were outgrowing their short clothes.
Following this discovery came the
thought that they were nearing the
fighting age of boyhood and if there
was any inherited taste for athletics
latent within them it was high time
it was developed.
Without delay he rugged up a
temporary gymnasium i'll the barn.
The apparatus consisted entirely of
a ladder suspended horizontally
several feet above the floor. The
bows watched the process of rigging
it with a deal of unsurpassed ex-
element. When everything was
ready he, of course, thought he
would ''show off" q bit before the
children.
So he got out on the ladder by
way of the loft and soon was swing
ing from it. holding on to a round
with both hands. TIE children
laughed in glee. and, emboldened By
the success, he attempted to 90
further, and he tried hanging head
down from the ladder by his toes.
Therein he made a fatal mistake,
and soon discovered that the supple
ness of youth had gone with the
years. He got down all right, but
he couldn't get back. He tried two
or three times, but it was of no use.
Then he got excited. His head was
several feet from the floor, and he
felt that if he fell he would surely
break his neck. Meanwhile the
blood was rushing to his head till he
thought it would break open.
He shouted to the now terrified
children to run for hay and pile it
up below him, and then he felt that
he was going to fall. The children
brought great armfuls of hay and
piled it on the floor. and just as his
wife came running through the barn
door, attracted by the screaming, he
fell.
The dull, sickening thud was some
what deadened by the hay, but the
athlete was beyond the reach OF
sound. He was almost black in the
face. and it took several minutes Of
active work by his weeping wife to
bring him back to consciousness.
He was stiff and sore the next day,
and. though not sufficiently recov-
cred to be able to go to the city, he
managed to take down the horizon
tai ladter and place it in its former
upright position in the corner of the
barn. The boys will pick up their
athletic knowledge without assist
ance from their father.

discovered him, remarked on the ex-

said the adapter, .'never feel ner-

''Ah, my boy" Jerrold replied, 'you
are always certain of success. Your
pieces have all been tried before"
He was seriously disappointed
with acertain book written by one
of his friends. This friend heard
that Jerrold had expressed his dis
appointment, and questioned him: Il
hear you said - was the worst
book | ever wrote" ''No, l didn't"
came the answer; Il said it was the
