RUMSEYS STEAMBOAT.

Records Which Show That 1t Antedated
EultSn's Product by Twenty-Five Years.
The records Of Jefferson county, w.
Va. prove what is not generally known
that Robert Fulton was not the first
man to build steamboat i'll this coun-
try. He was anticipated over % years
by james Rumsey of Charleston, Va
now West Virginia. Rumsey's steam
boat was partly constructed III Frederick
county, Nd, in 1885. 1t was fitted up
with machinery partly manufactured at
. furnace called 1.-The Cococtin Fur
mace, owned by johnson Brothers, and
located near the town Of Frederick.
The two cylinders, the boiler, pumps,
pipes, ETC., were built in Baltimore
Part Of the work was done at the old
Antietam Iron works Rumsey's boat
was 80 feet in length, and it was pro-
PEELED by an engine which worked
vertical pump placed in the center of the
vessel The water was drawn in at the
bow and forced out at the stern through
q horizontal pipe. The entire weight of
the machinery was go pounds, and
the tonnage Of the vessel was three tons.
The entire machinery, including the
boiler, ETC.. took up a space of very lit
tie over feet square.
The first public experiment took place
ON the Potomac river on March IA. 1886,
when the boat showed q speed of four
miles az hour up stream. The records of
Jefferson county also show that George
Washington and Governor Thomas John
Eoa Of Maryland were among the pat
rens Of Rumsey, and that the experiment
was made in the interest of the then
proposed Chesapeake and Ohio canal. -

THE WOOD DUCKS FIRsT SWIM.
How the Mother GSts the Little Ones
From the Nest to the water.


How the Mother Gots the Little Ones
From the Nest to the water.
A few miles from my home there is q
lake that has for years been the abiding
place of colony Of wood ducks. I have
spent hours along the shores watching
these prettiest of water fowls. The wood
duck has one popularity not possessed
by other members of the duck family
it builds its home high up in the cavity
Of some decayed limb, usually one that
luts out over the water.
The eggs, from seven to IS in num-
Der, are creamy white in color. House
keeping is begun in May. and the young
are ready to leave the nest early in June.
was curious to know how the little
ducks reach the water from their lofty
homes 1 had often seen them, when
hardly clear of their shell. swimming
about with their mother and felt con-
WINGED that they never could have left
home unaided
One bright June morning fortune IA
vored me had rowed along the lake
shore to pay visit to a houseful Of
noisy red wing blackbirds- My boat was
lying motionless among the tall cat
tails that fringed the shores Of the lake.
Suddenly heard loud splash behind
me, and turning to look saw on the
water a short distance away, just shak-
ing the spray from her wings, a female
wood duck and near her two tiny yellow
balls. so small that they resembled wa
ter lilies floating ON the surface.
The old bird took wing, hovered and
circled above her babies for few min
utes and then flew to a cavity in a tall
tree, short distance away. In a short
time the male bird, arrayed in the hand
soonest of plumage, Joined his mate.
Then for a few minutes l could hear a
soft cooling noise, which reminded me of
husband and wife discussing some i'm
portant point relative to the welfare of
their children
The cooling soon stopped and the moth
er duck appeared in the doorway of her
home. Then she dropped toward the wa
ter at a slight angle. As her breast
struck the surface she Immediately
dived, and where her body had been
was surprised to see two little ducklings
swimming about as uncOncerned as
though they had been travelling in the
water for years
The routine Of flying to the nest was
repeated four times in rapid succession.
and each time it resulted in an addition
of two to the family in the water, which
kept growing until it numbered 12.
Then the mother duck swan out in the
lake, followed by her brood, while the
male bird brought up the rear of the
procession, acting. no doubt, as a guard
and protector.-C S. Shick in Phila-
delphia Times.

He Got the Sugar,

The following anecdote Of n tame
monkey, to whom was given a corked
bottle with lump of sugar inside, in
dicates that the animal, though unable
to invent, could initiate. A phrenolOgist
would say that the monkey had per
ception," but not "causality" How to
get at the sugar was problem that bade
fair TO drive him crazy.
Sometimes in an impulse Of disgust
he would throw the bottle out of his
reach and then be distracted until il
was given back to him. At other times
he would sit with countenauce of in
tense detection, contemplating the bot
tied sugar, and then, as if pulling him
self together for another effort at solu-
tion, would sternly take up the problem
afreSh and gaze into the bottle
He would tilt it one way and try to
drink the sugar out of the neck, and
then suddenly reversing it, try to catch
it as it fell out at the bottom.
Under the impression that he could
capture the sugar by surprise, he kept
rasping his teeth against the glass in fu-
tile bites, and warming to the pursuit Of
the revolving lump used to tie himself
into regular knots round the bottle
Fits Of the most ludicrous melancholy
would alternate with spasms of delight
as n new idea seemed to suggest itself,
followed by fresh series of expert
ments.
Nothing availed, however, until one
day light was shed upon the problem
by a jar containing bananas falling from
the table with a crash and the fruit roll
ing about in all directions His monkey
ship contemplated the catastrophe and
reasoned upon it.
Lifting the bottle high in his paws, he
brought it down upon the floor with a
tremendous noise, smashing the glass
into fragments, after which he calmly
transferred the sugar to his mouth and
munched it with much satisfaction.

He Could Be Indifferent.

1t isn't every man that owns a silk

1oF ehobb0xy-HOW to Distinguish.
HyphenA*ed names in Europe may be
divided into two categories-namely,
those wherein the hyphcn is a mere piece
Of Enobbery and affectation, and those
wherein it is consequent upon legal
obligation The latter are in the minor
ity and are borne almost invariably by
hgatSeS and their descendants, who have
inherited property, usually real estate,
contingent upon their tacking the name
Of the testator on to their own, or else
they are men who have married heireSses
and been accepted as husbands for the
latter on the condition that they should
append the family name oS their wives
60 their own patronymic
People in the other category, who use
the hyphen merely with the object of
creating the impression that they are of
more ancient lineage than is really the
case, invariably prefix. instead of ap-
pending, the additional name, and it is
this that enables one to distinguish the
bona fide double barrel, I" as Lord Ran

Marriage of the Dead.

A strange custom prevails among a
certain tribe in the Caucasus When a
single young man dies, some one who
has carried to the grave a marriageable
daughter in the course of the year calls
upon the bereaved parents and says:
Your son is sure to want a wife.
I'll give you my daughter, and you
shall deliver to me the marriage portion
in return
A friendly offer of this description is
never rejected, and the two parties
soon come to terms as to the amount of
the dowry, which varies according to
the advantages possessed by the girl in
her lifetime. Cases have been known
where the young mans father has given
as much as 80 cows to secure a dead
wife for his dead SON -Buch fur ALLIE
