Caster ON Stove Legs,

That the use of well-arranged, ac-
curately adjusted rollers is great
saving of labor is undeniable, but not
every article should be thus equipped.
The notion of putting casters on stove
legs is one that is not likely to receive
the Endorsement of strictly practical
persons. The stove is e1nphatically q
customary article. 0ne of the great
drawbacks to successful and permar
nent plumbing Is the fact that the
stove frequently works loose. slides out
of place and cracks the couplings or
strains the pipes. If this is the case
with the stove without casters, 1T is
not difficult to imagine what would be
the condition il rollers were attached.
This would be continual source OF
danger, not only to plumbing, but on
account of fires. The pipes would nat
urally work apart; even the jarring OF
ordinary wind storms could haze this
effect, and confagrations would be the
iueti<Bb]s. ead sf sssh - in@cntaon.

The Yukon Miners.

The United States does not recognize,
protect or control these mining COM
munities in any way. No geological
explorations or surveys have been un-
dertaken, and there are no official re-
ports upon the location, formation, de-
vclopment or yield of this rich placer re-
gion. There are no military posts and
1ot a territorial or federal officer in
Yukon, Alaska, save one customs in
spector and postmaster. There is no
law, save as the miners maintain their
own unwritten code. Church mission
hry societies have provided for the few
peaceful Indian tribes, but even spirit
ual comfort is withheld from tho
miners. Heaven is high, and the czar
IS far off," despairing Russian colonists
used to say long ago. Since the military
occupation of Alaska ceased, in 1877,
frequent appeals have been made for
the establishment of . garrison at Chill
kat and the constructors Of military
road over the pass traversed by Yukon
miners for the last 16 years. Gen. Miles
once considered the matter to the ex-
tent of detailing an officer to make re-
connoisance. - Eliza b. Scidmore, in

She Managed Well.

Apropos Of the facility with which
women can adapt themselves to circum-
stances, little woman boarded a street
cor with two babies in her care, one in
her arms, the other by the hand. She
also carried satchel, bunch of wild
flowers she had evidently gathered that
morning, her pocket book, and as there
was only one seat for the trio. she took
the other baby in her arms and held
both during the ride. But the piece-de-
resistance was her door-key, which she
held, like some faithful Bruno, between
her teeth. Nor did she relinquish it
through the entire trip. but carried it
with the air of one who had place for
everything, and everything in it's place.

GROWTH OF INSECTS.
Influence of Heredity and of Environ
ment Considered.


Possibly few branches of scientific
thought are more active at this time
than that which is considering the in
fuence which environment has in gov
erning form and general character. A
recent author who objects to the extent
to which environment has been carried
in forming theories of evolution well
remarks that it must have some iniu-
ence or it could not have captivated
so many leaders in scientific philoso-
ply. But he contends that it is weak
and not a strong agent, and is limited
in it's powers. He illustrates by the
common housefy. When an insect
emerges from the pupa stage, it has
reached it's full size.
But there are small houseflies as
well as larger ones-these do not grow
larger or smaller after being once
formed. It must have some condition
of environment" that led to these vari-
ations in size. Possibly some inability
in one case to make available nutrition
at certain period of growth, made the
dwarf, and opposite conditions favored
the giant. But heredity is also potent
factor, and is able to hold what has been
brought into existence. If the small
flies could be so isolated that they
would mate with each other only, he
redity might result in bringing about
@ race of small housefies. Such race
might, under some conditions, be re-
garded as species-yet it would be
due rather to heredity than to con-
ditions- of environment. The great
probability would be that when ''envi-
ronment" again acted on some one
member of the small race so as to
change its puny character, it would be
to remand it to the race of giants again.
and thus make it again largcr.--Mee-
hams Monthly.

ASTRONOMICAL PROBLEM.
Evolution - Applied to tho Stars an
tho Universe.

Evolution - Applied to tho Stars and
tho Universe.
Prof. T. j. j. See, of the astronomical
department of the University of Chi
cago, is reported to be at work on the
problem of evolution, not simply that
Of the earth, but that of stars and uni
verses. His leading line of thought on
the subject is directed to the effects OF
tidal action in a gradual alteration of
the orbits. Of bodies, this being con-
sequent to the investigation of changes
in the distance of the moon from the
earth due to tidal action at the sur
face of one or both. Darwin "a son of
the author of ''The Origin Of Species')
has led in this investigation, the results
Of which are stated in popular form
by Sir Robert Ball in his "Story of the
Heavens"
It is shown that the formation of
tides on the earth. causes the effective
centers of attraction to be some dis
tance away from the center of the un-
disturbed spheroid, for which reason
the line Joining the effective centers
of gravity in the two bodies forms a
small angle with the line that other
wise would be the one along which the
two bodies would tend to fall toward
each other, and the movement is cor
respondingly different from what it
would be in the undisturbed orbit.
This tidal movement accounts for the
widening out of the distance between
the earth and moon and the lengthen-
ing of the lunar month from q few
hours to about four weeks, and it is
easy to see that the process is far from
l,e;ng ended.
Prof. See is applying this line of rea-
soniBg to some of the double stars, and
proposes to extend it to all of them
if results seem to justify it. He has
computed from observed perturbations
the probable existence Of yet unseen
star connected with binary" in the
0pthuchus, but the. fact
hardly justifies the assertion that he
hos discovered" 1t. Perhaps the stran-
ger may be seen through the new
Yerkes telescope when that instrument
Is put into active service, and, if so, the
work of the computer will deserve to
rank second only to that by which
the existence Of the planet Neptune was
made known about 50 years aeo.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

He is neither bandit nor q highway

spect to formularies other than the rev.

all. perhaps, is he a desperate. Within
month OF the present writing, q trav-
eler of one of the Tennessee railways
entered the smoking car of the train.
In the rear seat sat an officer in charge
Of "covey" of moenshiners. flushed
by him on the mountain the night be-
fore. There were IL in the party. They
had yielded without resistance to one
man, and, most singular circumstance
OF all in the south, the deputy had not
found it necessary to put them in irons.
At their trial the members of this
party will doubtless plead guilty to a
man, though little hard swearing
would probably clear half of them; they
will beg for mercy or for light SEN
tences, and those of them who promise
amendment will most likely never be
again brought in on the same charge,
for the mountaineer 10 prone to keep
his promise.
A venerable Judge, in whom judicial
severity is tempered by generous adj
mixture of loving kindness and mercy,
and whose humane decisions have made
his name word to conjure with among
the dwe1lers In the waste places, tells
a story which emphasizes the promise
keeping trait in the mountain charac-
ter. A hardened sinner of the stills.
whose first and second offense were al
ready recorded against him, was once
again brought to book by the vigilance
OF the revenue men. AS an old offender,
who had neither promised nor repented,
it was likely to go hard with him, and
he begged not for liberty, but for
communication of his sentence which
would send him to Jail instead of the
penitentiary. promising that SO long as
the judge remained upon the bench
he would neither make nor meddle with
illicit whisky.
He won his case and was sent to Jail
for term of II months. This was in
the summer. and, six months later,
when the drst SHOWS began to powder
the bleak submits of Chilhowee, the
judge received letter from the con-
vict. 1t was simplc-hearted petition
for "furlough" of ten days, pathetic
and eloquent in it's primitive English
and quaint misspelling. Would the good
judge let him of for just ten days?
Winter was coming on, and his wife
and children were alone in the cabin
on the mountain, with no one to make
provision for their wants. He would
not overstay the time, and he would
certain shore" come back.
His petition was granted, and. true
to his word, the mountaineer returned
on the tenth. day and gave himself up
to the sheriff. He served the remainder
of his senteuce, and, after his release,
kept his pledge to the Judge as long as
he remained on the bench. - Lippin-

the examinations at the different Normal
schools all Of the present month and along
with other engagements he would not be
able to reach the case of Prof, Bogart, against

dog broke loose, and made an attack upon
two hogs that were enjoying themselves in
the creek near by. The hogs belonged to a
resident of Turkey Run, and one of them
was fine porker weighing ESQ pounds. The
dog attacked the hog in the water, and after
a severe clubbing by several men, and the
water in the dam at the Cambridge colliery
had been turned on, the dog finally released
his hold only TO attack the other hog. He
was finally knocked insensible and returned
to the slaughter house. One of the hogs has
since died, and it is probable the other will
not succumb the attack

Justice T. T. Williams. Smith is painter by
trade and was lettering a window at the
Charmey saloon, at the lower end Of Main
street. He saw two miners coming up the
railroad through the cut, When they were
short distance from the boardwalk
crossing the track Eisenhower walked
out and shot John Schwindt in the
back. The witness and George Boyer chased
the prisoner over the rocks and finally
captured him at the lower end of Main
street On the way to Justice Williams office
Eisenhower said he had shot William
Schwindt. In the Justice office the prisoner
said William Schwindt had broken up his
home and he had shot him.
Smith was still on the stand at 3,3O and had
not yet been cross-examined.
