Deenest Hole in the World.

Shaft No. in the Tamarack copper
mine at Opeechee, Mich, has now
reacied depth of over 4,20O feet,
nearly a mile, which is the greatest
depth man has ever attained into the
earth.
A trip quarters Of mile into
the bowels Of the earth is a decided
novelty, says the Chicago Record. En-
tering the cage which is an iron ele-
vator, fitted with all modern safety ap-
pliances and hoisted or lowered by an
inch and half wire cable passing over
a great drum in the engine house near
the shaft, the signal is given to lower.
A seperate cage is always used for
carrying men and the rate of speed is
less than where rock is hoisted or tim
ber lowered in the other compart-
ments. The trip requires five min
utes, and, as the cage sinks at the rate

elevator in a modern sky-scraper, the
dark walls of rock, ON which faint
light is thrown by the candles and oil
lamps of the party, seem to be swiftly
shooting upward, while the cage is
standing still. At last the bottom is
reached. A dozen miners, covered
with Crime and dust, are busy at work.
Powder drills. fed by compressed air
coming almost mile through iron
pipes, are tapping the rock petulnntly.
Men are shoveling the rock blasted
from the lode into the cars, which are
trundled into cages and hoisted to the
surface. The candles throw weird
shadows, and as the reflection comes
to the mind of the mortal from earth s
surface that he is deeper down under
the earth's crust than man has ever
penetrated before, the desire to ascend
to fresh air and sunshine is apt to
come urpermost.

rfe morning express from Houlton
had queer experience Tuesday fore
noon. Between Island Falls and Crys-
tai, about thirty miles out OF Houlton,
the engineer saw huge moose on the
track, watching the approaching train
and evidently undetermined whether
to derail it or jump off and let it go
about its business. The engineer
blew a succession of sharp blasts with
the whistle. Mr.. Moose evidently
took this for the word ''Go" for race
between himself and the huge monster
which he saw approaching. At any
rate, he turned, and, with the train
not more than a dozen rods from him,
he set sail down the track. The train
was moving at the rate of forty miles
an hour, but the moose flew like the
wind, and kept his distance. The pas
sengers heard the warming blast of the
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 a
moose. For quarter of mile the
hig animal kept mp the almost inerea-
ible pace necessary to keep ahead of
the train, and then, as if satisfied that
he had convinced his competitor that
there wasn't anything in the steam
line that was coming up into Aroos-
took and do him in a sprinting match,
he left the track and plunged into the
woods. Lewiston Me journal.

Finding a name for the new baby is
a much more Important matter with
the Aiuu than it is with us. No one
may be calIedby the name of per-
son who has passed away. When any
one dies his or lisr name must die also.
Should the name of dead person be
applied t, % boy Of girl, it is supposed
that it would grieve the soul of the
departed, and be likely to call forth
his or her di,pleasure. Some evil
would be pretty certain to follow, for
the spirits of the dead can, is thought,
act upon the living for good or evil.
No person can therefore take the name
Of his deceased parent, friend or an
eestor In the same way he must not
take the name Of his living neighbor.
| Should -arh thing be done it would
be looked upon as a kind of theft and
treated accordingly.
The naming Of Ainu children does
not take place before the child is two
or three wears Of age. The parents
generally wait till some trait of char
acter ha. developed itself, or the chile
has performed some peculiar act, be
fore they give name. These circum
stances decide what it shall be called
for the word used generally points t.
something which took place in earl
life, and is sometimes not at all ba,
index to character.

The Proposed Athon Pension.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
The idea of DR.. Athon's family receiving
a pension because of any patriotism that
he possessed is preposterous. The most
inhammatory speech 1 heard during the
war fell from his lips in a rebel strong
hold. a few miles from here; of course 1t

neighborhood was at fever heat, and his
speech and the speech of his companion
accompanying him came near eliminating

modifying influence of a sermon next day.

vice warned the people that eff forbear-
ance and great care were not observed

have been the result. These words were
with such earnestness that the effect was
like magic and turned the balance on the
gentler side. Athon was as disoyal as
jeff Davis, and is no more entitled to
pension than he

Bee Culture.
PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER.


We see a good deal said about keeping
hogs, sheep, poultry and other farm stock
to consume what would otherwise be
waste products, and so add to the profit
OF the farm. Why are not bees named in
this list more frequently? Surely there is
no product which would be more wholly
wasted. were IL not for them, than that
which they gather from the flowers and
the fruit The farmer need not be a bee
keeper on large scale any more than he
need keep a large flock of poultry, but he
should have some of each. Fifty colonies
are, perhaps, enough for any one who
does not wish to make a speciality Of the
business. Begin small. and work up II You
find that 1t suits you. farmer OF our
acquaintance began with two colonies ten
years ago TO test the matter. He SAYS
that they have never failed to pay ex-
penses. including the value of his own tins
and labor, any single year. He sells both
bees and honey. and so his colonies vary
from twenty-five to fifty. He says that
with himself there is less expense and
worry in producing 500 worth of honey
than in getting the same amount from
either hogs or poultry, and that he finds
the chances of an improbable year much
fewer. Honey Is in steady demand in all
markets. and really fine article does not
have to go begging for purchaser. There
is great difference I'm the quality, and
this does not depend wholly on the food
as some people imagine. The strain OF
bees has something to do with it. and the
man who handles the bees and the product
has as much more. Honey must be I'm at
