Robinson Crusoe,s Island.

1t is not generally known that Juan Fer
nandez-the island on which Alexander
Selkirk, the Robinson Crusoe of romance
lived for so many years-is at the present
time inhabited. Two valleys, winding
down from different directions, join a
short distance back from the shore; and
here now stands little village of small
huts, scattered round a long, low, one
stored building, with veranda running
its whole length. In this house lives the
man who rents the island from the CHILEAN
government, and the village is made up of
a few German and Gillian families.
The tiny town is called San Juan Bau-
tista; and the crater-like arm ofthe sea on
which it is situated, and where Alexander
Selkirk first landed, is now called Cumber-
land Bay. The island is rented for about
600 year. The rent is paid partly in
dried fish. Catching and drying the many
varieties of fish, and raising cattle and
vegetables, wholly occupy the contented
settlers; and much of their little income is
obtained from the cattle and vegetables
sold TO passing vessels. The cattle need
no CAFE, and the vegetables almost grow
wild. Turnips and radishes, first sown
here by Selkirk himself, now grow rank
and wild in the valleys, like weeds. There
is also a race of wild dogs, which complete
ly overrun the island, depending for exist
ence mainly upon seals. They are the de-
scendants of a breed of dogs left by the
Spaniards
At the back of the little town, in the first
high cliff, is a row of caves of remarkable
appearance, hewn into the sandstone An
unused path leads to them, and short
climb brings one to their dark mouths.
About 40years ago the Gillian government
thought that good way to be rid of its
worst criminals would be to transport
them to the island of Juan Fernandez.
Here, under the direction of CHILEAN SOL
diers, these poor wretches were made to dig
caves to live in. In 1854 they were taken
back again, however; and the caves have
since been crumbling away.
The narrow ridge where Selkirk watched
is now called 1.-THE Saddle" because at
either end of it big. rocky hummock rises
like pommel. On one of these is now a
large tablet with inscriptions commemorate
ing Alexander Selkirk's long and lonely
stay on the island. 1t was placed there in
1865 by the officers of the British ship
TOPAZ" A small excursion steamer now
runs from Valparaiso to Juan Fernandez
Island. The round trip is made in six
days; and three of these may be spent or
the island in fishing and visiting those lone
ly but beautiful spots which nearly two
hundred years ago were the haunts of Rob
inson Crusoe.

The Old. Old Story.

A little romance of the war was appro-
priately rounded out at Harlan Court
House, KY, few days ago. In 1862 a
fine young fellow of II, named Jesse Baker,
a Confederate, was wounded in a skirmish
near that place, and was left by his COM
mand at a mountain cabin owned by John
Calleen, bushwhacker, who was helping
the Yankees John and his wife were
absent, and only their thirteen-year-Old
daughter, Mamie, was at home. She
cared for the wounded boy, nursed him
through three months sickness, and fell
in love with him during that time. But
Baker went away, forgot Mamie, and at
the close of the war married another girl.
His wife died. A little while ago he
moved to Harlan county, where he dis
covered his benefactress, Mamie, and
found she was widow. "A few days ago
they were married.
While walking by the river bank above
Niagara Falls little more than year ago
Joseph Kreis of indianapolis rescued from
death a young woman who had fallen into
the river and was rapidly being carried to
the brink of the falls. The young wo-
mans name was Effie Comstock, and she
was the daughter of a retired banker Of
Madison, Wis. Mr.. Kreis and Miss Com
stock were married at Indianapolis, few
days ago and they then went to LOganspor
do live happily everafterward, as the couples
in the romances always do.

A New Use For Electricity.
and Useful Agent Known for the Pur-
IncatkOn of Water.

IL Is Claimed to be the Most Powerful
and Useful Agent Known for the Pur-
Incathon of water.
An article printed in 1.-THE Chaperone,"
a St. Louis magazine, gives an interesting
account of the new system of purifying
water by electricity discovered by Dexter
Reynolds, mechanical and electrical engi-
neer of that city. Three years ago, when
employed as a Red river steamboat engi-
neer, Mr.. Reynolds was experimenting
with water as conductor and generator
of electricity. The water of the Red river
is the most nauseous of river waters and
is unfit to drink. One day when passing
a current of electricity through a tub of
water bundle of greasy waste fell into
the tub. Mr.. Reynolds was surprised at
the cleanliness of the waste after it had
been dried, and the experiment was re-
peated with like result 1t was also no.
ticed that the water in the tub became per-
fectly clear after standing awhile, with all
the sediment deposited at the bottom
Further experiments showed that barrels
of the dirty Red river water became per-
fecty clear a few hours after having cur
rents of electricity passed through them,
the sediment being all deposited at the
bottom. In due time patent on the proc
ess was taken out.
The operation of tiltering and purfica-
ton is simple and inexpensive. Electrodes
or ditfusing plates of any good conductive
metal are suspended in the water, Over
these a current is passed for some minutes
and the work is done. The water assumes
a murky, smoky appearance, weblike par
ticles form in white, feathery masses which
slowly sink to the bottom, leaving the
water perfectly pure and clear. Water
thus purified remains clear for weeks and
the sediment deposited is not again taken
up, though allowed to remain at the bot
tom.
The system can be applied to the purfi-
cation of the water supplies of cities, it is
claimed, doing away with the necessity of
expensive fltering plants. All that is
necessary is to provide settling basins or
reservoirs where electricity can be applied,
and in three hours the water will be ready
for use.
If these claims prove to be well founded
the gain in public health and the saving of
life will be very great, to say nothing of
the enormous saving of expense over the
systems now in use.

was one of the best known men i'm Flori-
ia. He was born in Guilford in 1927. and
he is remembered by old residents of that
town as youth of unusual promise. He
went South in 1S4S and made his living as
mall carrier between Savannah and Darion,
Ca, for three years. In 1855 he went to
FLORIDA and opened a stage mail line be-
tween Palatka and Tampa, at a time when
the Indian war was on. During the up
rising in 1856 and 1857, the government
protected the mail route with mounted
guard. In 1860 COL Hart conceived the
scheme of opening the famous Ocklawaha
river to navigation. After two steamers
has begun service on the navigable part of
the stream, the war put an end to the
scheme, and Col. Hart entered the Confed-
crate service as depot quartermaster in
charge of the Florida division. At the
close of the war he began the work of re,
building the fortunes of his adopted state
The project of opening the Ocklawaha was
resumed and soon he had built fleet of
six steamers. He completed the great
work in 1868. Col Hart was one of the
first shippers of Florida oranges to the
northern market, and the celebrated Hart
grove at Palatka is said to be the oldest in
the state. He was twice married, his sec
ond wife, Miss Thompson of Boston,
whom he married in 1884, surviving him.
Mrs. Hart was in Boston on a visit when
the accident to her husband occurred. He
was at one time urged by committees of
both political parties to allow his name to
governor of Florida, but his devotion to
his business prevented his accepting. His
broad, progressive spirit kept always many
years in advance of Florida's progress, and
his life was too short for him to realize
the vast benefits his devotion to her inter-
ests was regarded to have secured to the
state,

A. A. Halladay's Fruit Farm.
As Described and Illustrated i'm the Rural
New Yorker.

NEW
The Rural New Yorker publishes an in
teresting sketch of A. A. Halladay's work
on his fruit farm near the village of Bel
lows Falls, illustrated by picture of the
farm, its buildings and pleasant surround
ings. The farm contains only about six
acres. Three years ago, the Rural says,
there was not building on the place ex-
cept an old ice-house. All the buildings
are new. Three years ago, there was not
a fruit tree on the place. Now there are
200'plums, IS pears, rs peaches, $50 cher
ries, $50 currant bushes, and ounces,
apricots, grapes, apples and small fruits.
The main crops sold are tomatoes and
fruits. When the trees grow too large to
grow crops between them, the design is to
stock the entire place with poultry. At
present, the entire stock of the place con-
sists of one COW, one horse and few pigs.
The manure is carefully saved and kept
under cover, and more or less horse ma
nure is brought from town, and worked
over by the pigs; so carefully is the manure
housed and saved, that it is worth more
than many huge pile on larger farms that
is left standing in the rain. To help out
the manure, wood ashes, nitrate of soda
and complete fertilizer are used. Mr.
Halliday says this seasons crop of tomato
seed, strawberries and raspberres, will net
81 200 above expenses-that amount repre-
senting the labor and profits of himself
and two boys.
He says: "My raspberries brought
| twenty cents a basket all through the
season. and my strawberries eighteen anC
twenty cents, while other growers about
here were having hard work to get ten anC
twelve cents for berries that were Just a.
| good as grew on the vines The differ
ence was in putting them on the market
and between baskets scant even full, jus
as they came from the pickers, and basket
heaping full and all carefully assorted
every berry guaranteed a good one or mon

Speaking of his little place, with tru

resentative Myron L. Corbett of Bernard.
ston. Delaney gave his friends some of
his eatables and they felt merry. How De-
lancey came to have such a store is an in
teresting story. About two months AGO he
began work for Mr.. Corbett claiming 70
have just come from New Brunswick. n. s
He was good looking youth of 1s. He
was faithful worker, seemed contented
and when he asked for geography a short
Time ago 1t was regarded as a hopeful SIGN.
He studied the maps diligently nights and
1t was thought he was improving his mind
Mr.. and Mrs. Corbett went to church
Sunday, leaving Delaney at home. While
the family was away he worked wonders at
the farmhouse. His first move was to place
fine, fat chicken, which was dressed and
awaiting the hand of Mrs. Corbett, in the
oven, where it was duly roasted to a beau
tiful turn. The new cook then took a
telescope" grip and hand satchel and
proceeded to pack them with many things
necessary for journey round the world
The satchels were not very large, but De-
lancey managed to pack into them an over
coat, suit of clothes, four shirts, under
wear necktie, gloves, shoes and kit of
shaving tools belonging to Mr.. Corbett,
four pies, preserves, dozen eggs, which
he boiled, doughnuts, cookies, cake, bottle
of cologne, towels, watch aud chain, S22 in
money and the roast chicken. With this
load he started out. When Mr.. and Mrs
Corbett returned they found rihed pantry
and evidences of pretty thorough ran
sacking of their belongings.
Mr.. Corbett went to Greenfield to notify
Sheriff Smead. Mr.. Corbett then came to
Brattleboro in company with his neighbor,
Mr.. Brown, returning to Bernardston about
midnight. The Brattleboro quest was
fruitless, but the description given Sheriff
Smead caught Delaney, for about o. clock
Monday morning Night Officer Sears found
him at the Greenfield station looking for a
train to Boston. He then looked for a
cheap night lodging with which Mr.. Sears
accommodated him at the lookup. He
spent the day there Monday awaiting Mr..
Corbett, who arose early and continued the
search, not knowing that his man had been
caught Delaney Sleeves pleaded guilty
when arraigned before Justice Malone. He
wept profusely and said he did not know
what led him to commit the theft. He was
held in bonds of $500 for appearance before
the grand jury and in default went to Jail.
