Working Up a Climax.

AS he entered the barber shop Che was
a prominent official Of the Duluth road,
very prominent, 80 near the top that he
might be described as the top itself), he
sat down in the chair and the barber
went to work on his we'll domed poll
The barber was cheerful man, fond
of social intercourse and rather prided
himself ON his powers as a conversation
list. So when he felt the head of the
Duluth official with his taper fingers, he
thought he would astonish and please
him with some conversation and per-
haps the official would in turn write out
ten years pass on piece Of shaving
soap.
So the barber was light and merry,
learned and philosophical by turns, and
was well pleased with the expression
that stole over the officials face, so full
Of appreciation was it. He knew that he
would handle pour boire Of quarter,
If he did not get the pass He was de-
termined to please, and when the official
asked him if he had any cotton handy
the barber said he thought he had. He
sent quickly to a store and secured q
small supply of the cotton, and giving it
to the official that gentleman took two
small fragments and put them in his
ears.
Then the barber thought Of Casey at

The Metf,ed They Employ When Robbing

in India, but in all lands where mon
keys go in picks, that they have king,
laws and language of course Saving the
first item and duly limiting the others,
the belief ~ sound no doubt But Ibn
Batuta tells us, ON the authority of
"pious persons" he met in India, that
the king lives in state. Four noblemen
always attend him with rods in their
hands and cooks serve him ON their
knees.
The king has train of EARNED fol-

contrives to send message to the SOW
ereign, who forthwith dispatches an
army, and when they come to the town
they pull down the houses and beat the
people, and their armies, it is said, arc
many. This is not quite so ridiculous as
it looks, for the sacred apes that fire.
quent an Indian village will readily
gather to avenge an injury, and it is a
common practice with them to destroy
the huts when angered.
They have a great many children,
and when a child is unlike its father
and mother it is thrown out on the high
road Then they are taken by the Hin

handicraft, or sell them at night, that
they may not find their way home
At Shabar, which appears to have
been somewhere near Madras, people
dare not travel by night in the woods,
for fear of monkeys, which is certainly
not exact, since these creatures never
move after shutdown, but if there be o
foundation of truth in the legend it is
curious. We are not aware that any In

Iron Tonic For Orange Trees.

G.. W. Prescott of Highland, who took
the medal for the best box of packed or
anges at the late California State Citrus
fair, has been experimenting with iron
filings in his young orchard. Being
master mechanic of the Santa Fe system
in southern California at San Bernardo
no, he knew more about iron filings than
he did about guano or any other fer
tilizer, and knowing that certain
amount Of iron in the soil was essential
to healthy growth Of the tree and the
production of fruit he put five pounds
Of this material around each tree, and rs
q result he has a highly colored orange,
where before he had pale colored fruit.
The cost is insignificant. A thousand
trees on ten acres will require 5000
pounds of filings, which costs 81 per ton
$40 for the ten acre orchard OF course
this application of iron is not intended
to supersede all other fertilizers, but
simply to supplement them in order to
give good color to the fruit and enable
the grower to put an attractive orange
on the market, and incidentally to assist
him occasionally in winning a gold
medal The railroad shops at San Ber-
nardino can furnish one ton per day of
this material, and other shops can also
assist in supplying the demand.-Pro-

BIRDS LIKE TO TRAVEL
The Reason They Annually Leave North
ern Chimes and Fly South.

The Reason They Annually Leave North
ern Chimes and Fly South.
Why do the birds fit southwark each
autumn and return again with every
spring? No one knows, but science, in
the person of Professor Wang, the emf
nent Austrian ornithologist, has just dis
closed that the usual fippant answer to
this question, Because they like to
travel, is not far out of the way, after
all
In lecture that Professor Wang re-
Gently delivered at Vienna he gave some
extremely interesting details regarding
the migrations of birds, all of which
migrations resemble one another in two
respects They follow the most direct
line southwark, and are made with al
most incredible rapidity. Numerous OBJ
servations have been made at Helgo-
land, which is the principal hating
place of birds of passage from northern
countries, and Of Egypt, which is the
winter home of many, and these obser-
vations have established some facts hith-
erto unknown. The bluebirds traverse
the 400 nautical miles which separate
Egypt from Helgoland in single night,
which is at the rate of more than 40
geographical miles per hour. The swal-
lows speed is over ~ miles per min
ute, or nearly three times that of the
fastest railway train. Even the younger
birds, 6 or weeks old, accompany the
others in their journey.
Professor Wang asks himself what is
the impulse which causes the birds. aft
er the brooding and melting season is
over, to quit our nothern climate. He
does not think it is fear of cold-for
many species quite as delicate as those
which migrate southwark easily with
stand the rigors of the winter-out that
they have an irresistible humor for
travelling. This is his idea of the fact,
but he can give no explanation.

THE ORGAN.
It's Peculiar Fitness For the Form of Com
position Known as the Fugue.


position Known as the Fugue.
The organ as it existed in Bach's day,
and as in most essentials it exists now,
is an instrument peculiarly suggestive
in regard to the realization Of the finest
and most complete effects of harmony,
of meditation and of that simultaneous
progression of melodies in polyphonic
combination which is most completely
illustrated in the form of composition
known as the fugue. 1t is so for two or
three reasons. In the first place it is the
only instrument in which the sounds are
sustained with the same intensity for
any required length of time after they
are first emitted. However long a note
may have to be sustained, its full value
Ia there till the moment the finger quits
the key, o quality which is invaluable
when We are dealing with long suspen-
sions and chains Of sound. Secondly, the
opportunity Of playing the bass with the
feet on the pedals, leaving the left hand
free for the inner parts, puts within the
grasp Of o single player full and ex
tended harmony and freedom in manip-
ulation such as no other instrument af
forda Thirdly, and in the case especial
" of fugue compositions, the immense
volume and power Of the pedal notes i'm
part grandeur to the entry of the bass
part in the composition such as no other
medium for producing music can give
us. In the time of Bach this splendid
source of musical effect was confined to
the great organs of Germany.
The English organs of the day had i'll
general no pedal board, and it is prob
ably owing to this fact more than to any
thing else that Handel's published organ
music is so light, and even ephemeral
in style as compared with Bach's; that
he treated the organ, as Spitta truly OBJ
serves, merely like a larger and more
powerful harpsichord. Without the aid
of the pedal it would be rather difficult
to do otherwise, and the English organ
of the day was in every respect a much
lighter and thinner affair than the
"huge house of the sounds" the thun-
der of which was stored in the organ

THE BULL MOOSE.
An Adventure With One of These Animal
When 1t Hunted the Hunter.

An Adventure With One of These Animals
When It Hunted the Hunter.
A correspondent writing from Mecu-
noma, Muskoka, gives an interesting ac-
count of an adventure which he had
with a moose while employed in making
a toboggan trail through one of the pine
forests in that section of the country.
While engaged at work he came across a
moose yard and on looking around saw
one of the "giants of the forest" about
30 yards distant. The story Of his en-
counter is perhaps best told in the cor
respondents own words:
"After a moment" he writes, "the
moose turned and walked behind hill,
which, though not high, was steep I
ran to the top with all speed, hoping to
get view of the lordly creature as he
made his way through the bush. could
not see him at first, but on looking down
the steep incline there he was, not ten
yards away. He turned to make off, but
striking his ribs against the projecting
limb of a small hemlock he was thrown
down and around the tree, and as he
rose he faced me- 1t was now my turn
to run, for the moose charged at me
with erected name, expressing his rage
by fierce below. In turning I stun
bled, the ground being very uneven, and
his feet nearly came down on me as
lodged among some trees. I tried to
strike with my Ratchet, the only weapon
I had, but did not succeed in injuring
my pursuer. With some difficulty at
last got out into the deep snow where
my snowshoes were of more use to me.
The moose still pursued me, roaring at
intervals, and one who has not heard a
moose roar can form but little idea Of
the terrible believing noise. After sew
eral attempts to strike me with his front
feet he baked and stood about 20 yards
away paving and roaring. I eagerly
seized this opportunity to climb tree,
and soon after the animal turned and
made off. OF all my adventures in the
bush, and they number few, the one
I have just related came the nearest to
being my death. Montreal Witness

WHEN MABEL SMILES.

When Mabel smiles, my heart beats high.
A softer azure tints the sky,
And zephyrs sweet fit laughing by,
With strains unheard before,
While ! look in her peerless eyes
And envy not the rich and wise
Nor heavenward gaze with wistful signs,
For heaven can yield no more.
When Mabel frowns, the world is drear,
Each trembling dewdrop seems tear,
The roses droop in grief and fear
And cease to breathe perfume.
Alas, for me, mournful swain.
The dismal moments drag in pain,
For who could bear to meet disdain
From lips so full of bloom3
When Mabel smiles. my heart is proud,
When Mabel frowns, my heart is bowed,
But be she dark or sunny browed
She reigns my bosom's queen;
And well she knows who rules in state.
That Joy and pain must alternate.
And SO fair Mabel hides my fate,
A smile and frown between.

FIRST SHOT OF THE WAR.
Fired by the Cadets of the South Carolina
Military Academy.

Fired by the Cadets of the South Carolina
Military Academy.
The first shot in the late war was fired
by the cadets of the South Carolina Mil
itary academy, which occupies spacious
and formidable looking building called
the Citadel, which was originally con-
structed for an arsenal The organiza-
ton and curriculum are similar to those
of the United States academy at West
Point. After the ordinance of secession
was adopted the cadets were ordered to
report for guard duty and were manning
a battery on Morris island, when, on
Jan. 8, 1861, the Star of the West at
tempted to enter the harbor with sup
plies and re-enforcements for Fort Sum-
ter The impulsive boys took the re-
sponsibility of driving her back, firing
a shot across her bows to give warning
The steamer Immediately ran up the
United States flag and increased her
speed The shots fell thick and fast
around her, and when one struck her in
the stern the commander thought it
prudent to retreat and turned his vessel
seaward. The cadets of this institution
believe that act entities them to the
homage of the south, and the prestige
thus acquired has made them the objects
Of envy throughout that whole section.

Castles In the Air.

Build castle in the air and live in it
occasionally. 1t is delightful bit of
unreal estate, free from every discom-
fort, from a mortgage to a gas meter.
Practical people will condemn your
folly, but what of that? When the caves
Of your cottage seem to press on your
brain, or your fiat shrinks to 10 by 10
Enclosure, move out, take possession of
your castle and revel in it, if only for 30
minutes. The brief respite will help you
wonderfully, and even if your airy dwell
ing does come down with crash you
will crawl out of the ruins better pre-
pared to grapple with mundane cares. -

Cost of living In Europe,s Capitals.

An investigation into the comparative
cost of living at the various European
capitals results in the following interest
ing facts: At Vienna the prices of most
articles of food are lowest. At Madrid
they are dearer than in any other CAPT
tai, and such things as bread, meat, sug-
ar and coal are very expensive. At st.
Petersburg also the price of bread is SO
high that white bread is still considered
a luxury above the means of the work
ing classes. Next to Vienna, Brussels is
an inexpensive city. Paris is a little
higher in the scale, but London is "ter-
ribly expensive. "-Westminster Ga
