Instinct In a Baby Beaver.

Every animal iRherits the power of
doing certain things without being
taught-that is to say, they have what
is called instinct. A gentleman re-
fused to believe in this instinct, so to
convince him Canadian friend bought
baby beaver from hunter, and sent
it to the gentleman.
The little beaver became great pet
in the house, but gave no sign of want
ing to build dam until one day a leaky
pail of water was put on the floor of
the back kitchen.
Though but baby, the instinct now
awoke in the beaver The instant he
saw the water oozing out of pail, he
scampered into the yard, brought in a
chip, and began building his dam.
The gentleman was called, and
watched the little fellow, very much
astonished by all he saw. He gave
orders to have it left where it was, and
the industrious beaver kept at his
work four weeks, when he had built a
solid dam all aroun the pail.

Insurance Against Twins.

1t is possible to get insured here
against death, fire, accidents, burglars
and score of other things not desir-
able, but England has gone us one
better in this line, says the New York
Sun. Several members of the Lloyds,
London, have for some time been do
inc quite a business insurng against
twins. They take all risks offered and
the premiums are comparatively small.
The Law Guarantee and Trust Society
of London has Just embarked in this
line and it was unlucky enough to get
caught on its first risk. The policy
was for 92O0, at a premium of So,
and the holder of it has presented his
proofs and collected his damages. 1t
is stated that these policies appeal to
poor people, to whom twins are twice
as great a misfortune as one. If the
father of twins happens to have one of
these new policies he is likely to look
upon their advent as a stroke of good
fortune.

Uses of Salt.

4 little salt rubbed on the cups will
remove tea stains. Salt into whitewash
will make it stick better Use salt and
water to clean willow furniture, apply
ing it with brush and rubbing dry.
Ginghams or cambrics rinsed in salt
and water will hold their color and
look brighter.
Salt and water make an excellent
remedy for inAamed eyes. Hemor-
rhages of the lungs or stomach are
often checked by small doses of salt.
Neuralgia of the feet and limbs can be
cured by bathing night and morning
with salt and water as hot as can be
borne. After bathing rub the feet
briskly with a coarse towel. A gargle
of salt and water strengthens the
throat and, used hot, will cure a sore
throat. AS tooth powder salt will
keep the teeth white and the gums
hard and rosy
Two teaspoonfuls of salt in half a
pint of tepid water is an emetic always
on hand and is an antidote for poison
ing from nitrate of silver.-Neac York

old boy takes the record. The other

"Now, my child, you know you're

mamma.
Il saw bear" the child persisted,
and after lecturing him on the evil Of
story telling, the mother said:
"Now, baby, when you kneel down
to say your prayers tonight, ask God
Almighty to forgive you for telling
the story
The child knelt at his accustomed
evening prayer which he repeated by
his little bedside.

She was staggered by the reply.

The Army OF Pensioners.

The report of the commissioner of
pensions, to be issued in few weeks,
will show that while the government
has already $4,000 pensioners on its
rolls. there are hundreds of thousands
of patriots who have not yet been re-
warded for saving the country. These
claimants have been encouraged to
press their demands by the politicians
of both parties, who, in their eager
ness to make votes, have little concern
for the taxpayers. 1t is astounding
that thirty years after the close of the
war there should be, in addition to the
100000 pensioners who are now the
benefciaries of the government gen
erosity, 41O,O22 persons who can de-
mand reward for alleged services to
the country in its hour of trial. Con-
gress by its reckless legislation has
prepared the way for innumerable
frauds, while also offering a place on
the national roll of honor to bounty
jumpers and deserters. 1t is so easy
to get pension now that it would
seem a man has only to prove that he
lived on the right side of the Mason
and Dixon line during the "late un-
pleasantness to establish claim up
on the treasury. After a time the
man who sent substitute will be rec
ognized, if he is not already on the
lists, and then honors as well as boun-
ties will be plentiful.-Bolt'more SIN,

The Coffee Plant.

Coffee plants, says the New York
Observer, are usually raised from seed
sown in beds upon the mountains
where the thermometer varies from %
degrees Fahrenheit in winter to 6Ode-
grees in the height of summer. When
they are two years old the small shoots
are set out in rows six feet apart each
way. In three years they begin to
yield. They are increasingly fruitful
for Is to 20 years and live for centu-
nv. The trees bloom in February IN
Guadalupe, the fruit ripens from
August to December, but bloom and
green fruit and the ripened berry may
be sometimes seen at once during the
latter part of the year, The berry is
red, of the size and color Of cherry i;
the coffee is made from the kernel or
seed, which is divided into two hemls-
pheres.
This seed goes through a variety o.
processes before it becomes the coffee
of commerce and is prepared for use IN
the delicious beverage which is known
all over the world. Most of the coffee
of the French islands goes naturally
to France, butt is not so cheap as the
South American product, and its cult
walton is encouraged by governmental
bounties. The coffee and sugar inter
ests do not conflict, for the former oc-
cupies the highlands and the latter the
lowlands.

when the Creator said to woman

But Capt. Horizons Catch
Was Not a Serpent.
Turned Out to. Be a Turtle Of
the Logger Head Kind.
Made a Very Hard Fight When
Minnehaha's Crew Captured II.

BosToN, Aug. 17.-Captain Richard p.
Horton OF the fishing schooner Mime
haha, captuoa the sea serpent off
Provincetown yesterday forenoon. But
CAPTAIN Horton didn't do II single
handed by any means. lie did II with
his crew CT ii men, a I,>-kerel seine and
two tackles and at the expense of mis-
seine, the disabling of one of his men,
and the loss of runber boot that was
bitten in two as il il had been a wet bis
cult.
The Minnehaha. with the sea serpent
aboard, is now lyiag at the south side of
4 wharf. The creature Is aiive-very
much alive-and he is not at all satisfied
with his new surroundings. Though
penned between pile OF heavily weighted
dories and the side OF the forecsstle house,
he thrsshes about " ith such strength as
to shake the schooner from stem to stern,
and occasionally he bellows like bull.
The monster was captured only after a
determined battle.
Captain Horton exhibited his catch to a
crowd of the fisher folk, among whom
the news spread quickly. Nobody seemed
10 know just what name to give the
monster, until an old salt, VINO has
sailed much In southern waters, came
aboard. tie sized the creature up, ana
said:
"Why that amt no sea serpent. I've
seen his kind before, tho ugh Pm bound
in truth to say never seen his size be-
fore III the Atlantic, nor yet in the
Pacific, nor any other waters. He's a
loggerhead turtle"
A turtle he was--that was plain but
such turtle From the two blownoles
in his head, when extended, to the
tip of the horny projection over his
stumpy tail, he measured II feet ana
some inches. His shell measl rJd some
thing over feet in length, aud from
tip to tip of hia forward tiippers the
tape recorded 8 feet, 6 inches. No portn-
bic scales of sufficient capacity could be
found, and his exact weight could not be
ascertained. 1t is estimated that there
are bet Seen 1900 and 1909 pou nds of him
tho weight of big OK.
The shell is almost black and very
smooth and oily. 1t has six Longitude
nal corrugations, each between five and
eight inches wide. The fishermen all be-
liove that this urtle Is the "sea serpent"
that has so frequently been seen of late
in this vicinity. His appearance in open
water, as desSrited by Captain Horton
and the members OF the Minnehaha' s
crew, was almost identicallv the de-
scription of the so-cailed sea serpent, as
seen by several persons recently. The
men say they did not have the slig htest
idea what sort OF thing it was until they
cot him in the seine, but their natural
fears were overcome by the thought OF
the glory that would attach to the cap
ture of the mysterious monster, and
they went after him to catch him or die.
