REDHOI HAYMAklNG.
One Amateurs Experience Was Complete
and Satisfactory In One Day.

The hottest experience I ever met
with i'll the country was the day help
ed to make hay. The farmer began to
call Us shortly after midnight and after
a long siege of intermittent yelling he
succeeded i'll his design of getting us out
of bed several hours before it was neces-
sary 1t was then 3 a. m. About two
hours later we had had our breakfasts
and were entering the bayfield,.
When one gets into trouble, the open
ing scenes are always allu'ing. A gor
geous sunrise was in full swing i'll the
east The dew lay on the grass, and the
air was cool and invigorating. could
not but agree with the poets that the
scent Of the new mown hay was very
inspiring. I felt like colt and was keen
to jump into the sport.
The first heat consisted in punching
the hay after the rake, which the farmer
himself drove about the field with many
loud gees and "haws," but few
"whoas. The old rascal took fend-
ish delight in crowding us. 1t began to
look little like work.
When the hay was all punched, the
high ladder wagons were driven into the
field. Being novice, was assigned the
duty of loading. I stood upon the wagon
and built the load as the hay was pitch
ed to me theoretically, but on me actual
ly. The first dose knocked all the poetry
out Of me-
The blazing sun had sucked up all the
dewdrops and was now high in the
east. He seemed to focus his scorching
rays on the wagons, and the hay cracked
and sizzled about me like frying fat It
was noon 20 times all at once. thought
I was becoming 1iqnitied. l sank to my
neck in the hay and roasted in a con-
centrated oven Of absorbed solar heat,
Not breeze stirred. No friendly cloud
lowered near to screen the orb of fire.
vainly tried to fancy 7 was in the Arctic
ocean and the wagon was Il floating ice
berg. The old pitchers, Injured to the
heat and the avocation, still fed on the
hay.
We were jerked into the barn-from
the frying pan into the fre=.~and I was
there barbecued for half an hour in the
hot beds of the NOV,
Out we shot again into the broiling
field All day long this process of slow
torture continued. TWAS little drama
from the snowless land inserted into
real life, the farmer impersonating sa-
fan, the pitchers his archangels and my
self tharpn's lost passenges,
But, thank heaven, the farmer was
no Joshua, and the sun at last complet-
ed his trip across the skies and disap-
peared beneath the mountain. The next
day my place OH the wagon was occu-
pied by some other fool.-Philadelphia

If COnstantinople Falls.

What the two powers, Germany and
Austria, would do in some future Rus
sian advance toward Constantinople re-
mains to be seen. AS long as they are
not occupied with serious business Of
their own they will be at liberty to
watch the movements of their giant ri
val. But let war break out between Ger
many and France, and the situation will
be changed at once. How easy it will
be then for Russia to claim the object
of her ambition as a reward for support
to Germany or even i'll return for a be-
nevolent neutrality! A precedent for
such a course is to be found i'll her in
forming the powers assembled in Lon
don i'll 1871 that she considered herself
no longer bound by the article in the
treaty of Paris which required the neu-
tralization of the Black sea. What Rus
STA would do with her prize when she
had secured it is speculation into which
there is little need to enter That con.
sideration does not trouble the minds of
those who cast longing eyes upon the
glories of the Golden Horn.
Russia will not be deferred from seek
ing possession of Constantinople by
fears of criticism without or complica-
lions within her borders. For the one
she will still have her diplomacy and
for the other her divine mission. If, as
the mistress of Constantinople, she COM
manded the mouths of the Danube, she
might soothe Germany and Austria with
promise of strict neutrality in those
waters If "Moscow would be jealous
of the new Byzantium and Byzantium
would hate Moscow" the same tactics
that reconciled Moscow to St. Peters
burg would reconcile both to the new
metropolis at Constantinople. Fort

rho RANK OF Scotland.

The Bank Of Scotland, now 200 years
old, naturally sought to encourage Scot
fish industries, and this is shown in the
manufacture Of its paper for notes. The
first large notes were made i'll 1896, 20
shilling notes, as they were termed, be-
ing only issued on April 7, 1904. lii
1929 the banks paper was manufac-
tured at Giffordhall, near Haddington.
Attendants had to be present in the
banks interest, and their account was
paid by the bank. One item was sale
and bread furnished to the workmen,
los. "and another for ''drink money to
servants, "a It's. Cd" The items are
suggestive, although it is possible they
only represented drink money in name,
4n lT3a the BANK got its 20 shilling
banknotes made at Collingtoun Min

Gid Leather Breaches.

Old Leather Brooches was at one tins
the best known guide and trapper in
Pike county, Pa. He lived in the woods
not many miles from Milford, the coun,

but on account Of the leather trousers
which he invariably wore he was known
by every one as Old Leather Brooches,

the old man to town, and then he came
for tobacco and whisky. One Sunday
morning he walked into town and upon

Proceeding leisurely down the main
street, he went to another store, only to
find this closed also: GampletelY nloln-
plused, the trapper hailed the first pass

Double DUTY.

A capital story was once told Of the
Rev. Thomas Hunt, the veteran temper
ance orator, who was we'll known in the
early history of the Wyoming valley.
He was somewhat eccentric man, but
possessed of remarkably quick wits,
which stood him i'll good stead on many
occasions.
During the civil war he enlisted in
one of the regiments of infantry raised
in the valley and served as chaplain.
One day in the very fercest Of the bat
tie major rode up in front of the regi=
ment, and seeing Father Hunt at the
head of the ranks inquired in great as
constituent:
"Chaplain, what are you doing
there?'
"What am I doing?" repeated the
stanch old minister quickly. "I'm cheer
ing the hearts Of the brave and watch
ing the heels of the cowards!" --
He was evidently performing this
double task so we'll and thoroughly that
the major could find no fault with him
and left him to his self appointed charge.

WATER POWER.
American and European Methods of Using
1t In Large Way.


The standard American method of
utilizing large amount of water power
has hitherto been to distribute the wa
ter to the several consumers or mill
owners by means of a system of head
races, so called, with facilities for its
discharge at a lower level, to be utilized
as the owner or lessee saw fit, and gen
orally on his own premises. This led to
long head canals and to insignificant
tail races, whereas the Niagara plant con-
slsts of a common tail race, a mile and
half long, with comparatively insignif-
can't head races. The old time water
power company sold OF leased the right
to draw definite quantity of water at
defined times, with the privilege of dis
charging it at lower level, and the
mill owner did the rest, whereas at
Niagara Falls the right is leased to dis
charge a definite quantity of water into
the tail race tunnel, with the privilege of
drawing this quantity from the head
canal, Or from the river. But over and
above this the product power-may be
contracted for at Niagara Falls, deliv-
cred OH the shaft.
To create large group of mill sites
Of the older sort there was necessary, in
the first instance, a large, continuous
body of land, properly located for the
purpose. If this could not be bought up
secretly, and in large blocks, the whole
water power enterprise would fail to
come to fruition. In Europe, however,
several such enterprises came into being
in spite of the inability of the projectors
to primarily buy tracts Of land such as
have been described. This was done by
establishing central power stations near
the dam, or head canal, and then trans
uniting the power produced, instead of
the water to produce it, to the consul
mers Or mill owners. Up to within, say,
five years, this had always been accom-
plished by means Of wire rope trans
missions of power, and it is easy to see
that the invention of the electrical trans
mission of power would give this form
of the utilization Of large water pow
er great impetus. Many such plants
are therefore already in existence, many
are building, but among them all no
one is probably SO celebrated and is at
tracing the attention Of all intelligent
men as this at Niagara Falls. -Cassier's
