TERRAPlN CATCHING.

Taken Most Abundantly in Cold Weather Because of Their One Unyarying Habit.
 No successful method of catching ter .rapin in large numbers has yet been de- vised. A kind of set net is sometimes used, but with no remarkable success. The general statement holds that ter rapin are caught singly. At no season of the year do the fishermen, who make side issue of terrapin, know ex- actly where to look for them. All their movements are aimless, and their only habit which can be depended on is that of burying themselves in the mud at the bottom of the water during the continuance of cold weather.
 Cruel Examiners.
 A reporter for the Cincinnati Trib- une lately overheard a dialogue be- tween two suburban gentlemen.
 'How did your daughter pass her ex- animation for position as teacher?" asked the first man.
 "Pass!" was the answer. "She didn't pass at all. Maybe you won't believe it, but they asked that poor girl about things that happened before she was born."

HUNG IN MIDAlR.
The Perilous Plight of a Soldier in Chi.
 nese Thibet.


 An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the 'Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob- bers, they would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In a few hours they came to a river, which was crossed by rope bridge.
 The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Englishman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land.

Won't Work There.

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains, fully nine miles. and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her. aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line a swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep noun tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

OLD LIGHTHOUSE,
Was Built by the Romans and Is Still in
 Good Condition.

GOOd Condition.
 The oldest house existing in Eng land is the Roman Pharos or lighthouse, which still forms so conspicuous an ob- ject on the cliffs within the precincts of Dover castle. The masonry of this interesting work is composed of tufa, cement and Roman bricks, or tiles, and is in the best style of Roman workman. ship. History and tradition are alike silent as to the actual date of its erec- tion, but, judging from the style of masonry, and bearing in mind that the erection of such a beacon would be practical necessity when once the Ro- mans had thoroughly established them selves in southern Britain, one may fairly ascribe it to date not much later than the middle of the first century, A. D., following on the expedition of Clau- dius, and the succeeding conquests of Plautius, who brought most of the island south of the Thames under the Roman domination. To the upper part of this lighthouse was added in Tudor times an octagonal superstructure, still remaining. although in sadly bat tered condition. The remains of lake dwellings, such as have been found at Burton Mere, in Suffolk, and near Glas. tonbury, in Somerset, are supposed by some to date back so far as 1900 B. C.; but, although these are built on piles, they hardly come within the meaning of the question.

ANOTHER ICE PERIOD.
A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.

A
 of Panama.
 ''The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of a canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo a most notable deterioration. The sum of s9,0O0,Oo0 has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1,- 100000 spent on it, and worl, has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost s16,0G0,000, and ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the ex- PeAu1tuIc Ol Poo,ooo,ooo III CtiudllAlHS tlO Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of d union of the great lakes and the father of waters.'"

Kleptomanla,

To believe French writer, there are no fewer than four thousand women caught every year in stealing during their shopping expeditions, habit eu- phoniously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tells us, is incred- ible. Among the most recent culprits were a Russian duchess, French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of reigning sovereign. As a rule, these distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of round sum for the relief of the poor; when the shoplifter is known to be rich, the sum extracted rises to as much as ten thousand francs. The police authori- ties consent to this sort of conformation.

Red Mans Medicine.

The Indian pharmacopeia comprised thoroughwort, spurge and Indian hemp, used as emetics; the bark of the cathartics. They were also acquainted with many poisons, most of which they used CT their weapons. For asthma they employed tobacco and sassafras: for coughs, slippery elm; for dropsy, the wild gooseberry: for wounds, pow dered puff balls. They treated boils with onion poultices.

A Periodically Humorous Story Told Of
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.

A Periodically Humorous Story Told of
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells pathetically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack A few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was & renter, and at least every other season he was occupying dlf- ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, a dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When I did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-field and came out to the fence.
 Hello" I exclaimed. ''Is this your farm?"
 "Yes, and jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long"
 'sYou must be doing well?'
 'T think I'm doing fust-rate. and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way.''
 ''Pm always glad to help, if I can."
 q knowed that, colonel, and that's why come away over here so fer rum home. Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez I'm doin' ez we'll ez am I'm a-goin' to stand hit"
 Are you making any money?"
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 'No, I ain't, colonel,' he replied, hope fully; "but I'm losin' it slower'n ever done in my life afore."
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his horefulness.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property These lots are near the new cleo tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property.

Some Queer Features About Them Which

Observe for yourself. Every spotted
dog has the end of his tail white, while

The amount of light that can be OBJ

Lydia was a good girl and was loved

room she was the obedient pupil. the
industrious and painstaking student,
and here, as elsewhere q general ia.
vorite. She leaves a father, mother
and two little brothers and a host of
friends and relatives to mourn her loss.
We commend them to Him who doeth
all things well, and trust that they
may profit by her example, that when
their mission on earth is ended they
too may go to reap their reward in
heaven. Weep not for your dear one,
she is resting in peace and will arise
again triumphant.
