He Built q Dam.

All kinds of animals do wonderful
things without ever being taught.
Each in it's own line inherits an edu-
cation which in common language
goes by the name of instinct. The
Woman's Journal gives this story Of
a beaver:
A college professor in Maine tells
how he convinced a friend who did
not believe that beavers could build
a dam. He bought a baby beaver
of a hunter and sent it to his skeptic.
al friend.
The creature became a great pet in
the house, but showed no signs of
wanting to build a dam until one
Monday morning a leaky pail full of
water was put on the floor IF the
back kitchen. The beaver was there.
He was only a baby, to be sure, but
the moment he saw the water oozing
out of q crack in the pail he scam.
rered into the yard, brought in a chip
and began his work.
His owner was called and watched
the little fellow, very much aston
ished at what he saw. He gave or
ders to have the pail left where it
was, and the industrious beaver
kept at his work four weeks, when
he had built a solid dam all around
the pail.

Mrs. Foeg-I suppose you think

HI. B.. Mackey Is Pensioned.

Henry B. Mackey who has been iden-
tilted with this mining district for near
ly fifteen years laboring On his claims on
Carpenter creek has just received a lift
from the government in the shape of a
pension. He got $1,000 back pay, and
will receive a monthly allowance of Sc

New York under Adml. Farragut, Sept.

ment of Pensacola, '62, at the siege of
New Orleans and of Vicksburg, '63,
where he saw plenty of service. He was
| with Banks in the disastrous Red river
expedition. He was several times wound
ed, once in the service at Vicksburg,
running the batteries, a shot dislodged a
cannon near which he was standing, and
a flying silver from the carriage fractur-
ed his breast bone and two ribs. His
mother was an active member of the
christian commission, and worked in the
camp Of the army throughout the SER

A Royal Editor.

One of the most interesting Of
newspapers is the New Zealand TIE
Pakio Matariki, or Pleiades, or Seven
Stars. It enjoys the distinction Of
having a king for an editor. His

is true, an independent sovereign

The Pleiades is a small eight page

Outlets.

Outlets sounds singularly like a
lawyers attempted translation Of a
word he could not understand.
Bailey says, "Quillets I quibblets,
from quidlibet (?lawyers), subtilties,
bubbles, c~hicanery," and Shakes
peare, writing contemporaneously
with the document quoted, uses
outlets as a legal word, "quillets of
law" etc. What Robert Child of
Oakford gave on the east side of the
bridge consisted of two pieces of fat
meadow land with no quillitts what
ever belonging to them). It SO hap
pens that the local technical word is
perfectly we'll understood, while the
legal one intended to explain it has
no meaning in that connection

Skeletons of Giants,

skeletons OF Giants.
In one of his recent lectures Pro
fessor Osborne of Kings college,
London, alluded to the recent dis
covery Of an enormous skeleton in
one of the caves Of Saxony. The
bones, which were in a good state of
preservation, were those of a man
who could not have been an inch un-
der 81 feet in height when living
and who had a head almost as big
as a bushel basket. Those of the
professors class who were inclined
to be rather skeptical on the subject
of 81 foot giants instituted a search
in the realms of giantology and
found plenty of corroborative evil
dence. They found accounts of 90
giants who have lived since tho time
of Christ each Of whom was over 81
feet in height. The most noted of
the lot were the two Roman giants
Of the sixth century, the brothers
Cam banni, whose combined height
was 4S feet.
The French giant Ferregus, a
nephew of Charlemagne, was % feet
high, and Donnan, the Irish giant,
drowned in a lake on the isle Of Man
in the year 1907, was % 10 feet in
heieht--St. Louis Republic.
