If ever a man bore a charmed life
Nathan Porter of Cross Creek town
ship is that man, says the Ohio State
journal. He has met with number
of accidents that would have ended
the life of an ordinary human being,
but Nate seemed possessed of as many
lives as cat. He is just now going
about after having been kicked
squarely in the forehead by horse,
His apple orchard is on the side of a
hill, and he has fallen out of nearly
every tree on it several times and
never was more than shaken up. Some
years ago log rolled over him as if
he had been made of rubber.
Then he went to picnic and ate
ice cream that poisoned everybody
else, but beyond a little sick spell he
never felt any discomfort. Several
years ago his physician told him to
settle up his affairs and prepare for
the heaeafter as he might live two
years and he might not live more than
two days. He came out otthe doctors
Office and shook hands with his friends
telling them of the good news inn
parted to him by the doctor, and add
ing that he did not believe word
that the doctor had told him. He
lived to see the doctor buried. Porter
holds that he could so through pow
der mill explosion without even SMELL
ing the powder. The minor accidents
he has met with are innumerable and
he expects to die naturally.

A Bright Dog.

Dr. John Clark Ridpath, the his
torian, living at Greeucastle, has a
rather remarkable dog, known all
over Putnam county as Duke. He
seems to have absorbed some of the
rare intelligence of his noted master.
One day Duke was sent to the butchers
shop after a basket of meat. He Sc
cured it and started home. On the
way he met fellow canine that was
determined to have some of that meat.
After worrying with the highway-man
for awhile, Duke decided that more
heroic measures we're necessary, and,
jumping upon a stone fence nearby,
he deposited the basket out of harms
way, leaped to the ground and wal
loped the life out of his enemy. When
the latter went bowling away, Duke
secured his basket of meat and trotted
homeward. He goes to the postoffice
after the mail. He asks for it by
placing his fore feet on tho delivery
window and barking. This act he
performs several times a day, never
loses letter and never forgets what
time to go. He almost invariably
eats at his masters side. In fact the
bites of meat alternate between his
mouth and DR.. Ridpath's He is a
collie and can do a score of odd tricks.

Making Holes in Glass.

Strong glass plates are bored
through by means of rotary brass
tubes of the necessary diameter, which
are filled with water during boring.
TO the water is added finely powdered
emery. Thinner glass may be perfor-
ated with holes in an easier manner
by pressing disk Of wet clay upon
the glass, and making a hole through
the clay of the size required, so that
the glass is laid bare. Moulten lead
is then poured in the hole, and lead
and glass drop down at once. This
method is based upon the quick local
heating of the glass, whereby a circu-
lar crack is produced, the outline of
which corresponds to the whole made
in the clay. When moulton lead is
poured upon clay SO that steam is gen.
Grated from the moisture the lead is
very apt to fly. Putty, although,
of course, more expensive, is
much to be preferred to clay for use
in connection with moulten lead. =

Tro trouble IN tho Transynal and
surrounding territory is attracting
deep interest 10 that portion Of tho
world. Among the curious things
learned have been the odd ways Of
cooking practieod by South African
tribes A very palatable dish is
made Of on elephants foot boy putting
it IN a hole, building ahre around and
over it aud Keeping 1t going for five or
six hours Elephants tail Is said to
DO very delicious when washed,
scraped and fried until il isa rich,
dark brown. A novel way Of making
stew is praoticed by one tribe,
who use tho animals skin as recop-
taclo for water; put in this water
vegetables aud pieces Of meat and
then add red hot stones. This gener-
ates vast quantities OF steam aud
makes the water boil without iniuring
greatly the surrounding hide. AZ the
end Of an hour the contents are
cooked and the water has become a
very fair soup, but little peculiar on
account Of the amount OF cinders,

tains Still another tribe cook To-

such feeling toward other carniyora
The iackal, wolf and fox are more or
less popular and are reported to give
a very palatable meat Where our
people hang mutton, game and tho
immortal goose to season it and give
it rich flavor, many South African
tribes secure the same result by bury
ing meat in the earth and leaving il
there for several days. No civilized man
has ever been able to cat tin this con-
dition, but the savages pronounce it a
delicacy of extraordinary merit Not
alone is canibalism practiced to a
large extent, but our Darwinian cous.

Last Stand of a Manned Fox.

A fox was captured near Healhs-
vile, Va, recently, that possessed
only three legs Several young men
we're on their way to the village when
dog belonging to them started the
fox and gave chase. A hound belong
ing to a neighbor was then turned
loose to assist the other dog. When
the fox realized that there was no
chance for his life he crouched behind
a bush, waited for the dogs to come
up, and gave battle. He was soon
dispatched, and on examination was
found to be minus n leg. The missing
member had been cut of, presumably
by steel trap, close to the shoulder,
and the wound had healed up nicely.
Those who saw the chase said it was
wonderful what speed the fox could
make, although thus disabled. The
poor fellow has probably had to devise
many a cunning trick and use his wits
to the utmost to prevent being caught
by the many packs Of hounds that have
been hunting around here during tho
fall and winter. Richmond Dispatch.

CHURNING STILL.
BY EMMA II. NIGHT.

During the early part Of the Valley
campaign l was encamped with my
regiment, the til Ohio, upon Cedar
Greek. 1t was early in May, and it
would have been difficult to find a
more picturesque spot We had pitched
our tents upon the banks Of the rush
ing, tumbling creek, grit by wild
looking hills, covered with moss en-
crusted rocks aud tall, beautifully
tinted grasses. Above tho hills rose
the blue Of the mountains, melting
into the softer, tenderer blue of
morning sky, or wildly outlined
against a rich gold aud crimson sun
set On a hill above us stood
picturesque old mill, from the great
wheel of which the water fell in gilt
tering cascades; higher still was the
miller's pretty home. In the yard
the bushes we're weighted with roses
and purple and white lilac, while the
orchard at the back of the house was
a mass Of white and pink bloom.
Nature seemed to rebuke the grim
monster, war, trailing horror and suf-
fering and devastation over all her
fair beauty, until for very shame, in
that sweet springtide, he seemed to
hide his head for a time, and the
songs of mating birds replaced the
roar of cannon and musketry. The
miller and his family,up in the pretty
farm house might have forgotten that
there was bloody strife in their fair
land, but for our white tents and bl ne
coated men down on the banks of
Cedar Greek.
Was there ever lovlier springtime
to NE? 1t was time of peace and
rest, and to me, of sweet, subtle hap
pinesa OF all the week Monday was
the red letter day, for, as the sun rose
up from behind the mountains, / with
several companions, would make my
way up the winding road to little
shed standing under the shadow of a
giant oak. There we would wait,
watching the gate of the farm house
high on the hill above us. After a
little while that gate would open, and
the slender form of girl, carrying a
churn in one hand, and pail of rich
yellow cream in the other, would
come tripping down the winding path
towards us. OFF would go all our
caps, and simultaneously we would ez-
claim.
"Good morning, Miss Sallie, we've
come to help you churn.

years have passed since then. / am

apple blossoms up in the dido richard.
And sometimes ask myself little
guiltily if any days in after life we're
ever as happy as those spring morn
ings, fragrant with the odor Of roses,
when the boys in blue helped the fail
faced southern girl to churn under the
bIossoming oak. How sweet, how
gracious, you we're to see MS, stancE
