ant on the other side of the room was
not quite forgotten. He spoke with
his lawyer, who had taken all steps he
considered possible to bring about their
reconciliation; now and then he threw
imploring glances upon the little wo-
man, which she did not seem to notice
at all. With him was little Skye ter
rier, Petit" who once was the declared
favorite of his wife's, but now did not
receive any encouragement from his
former gracious mistress. The small
dog looked from one to the other, and
evidently could not understand why
these two people were so estranged. BY
accident the lady dropped her handker-
chief. Quick as lightning the little
terrier jumped at it, picked it up, and
brought it to his mistress, rising upon
his hind legs, which trick he had been
taught by her, and glanced up to his
mistress. Sobbing loudly she raised
up the dog and kissed him, and as her
husband, making good use of the oppor-
tunity, went up toward her, she met
him half way, and throwing her arms
around his neck sobbed loudly on his
breast and promised him forgiveness.
The divorce, of course, was out or the
question, and he, she and both lawyers
adjourned to a near restaurant to cele-
brate the reunion brought about by the
little Skye terrier.-EX.

Eels stop the MACHINERY,

A mass of live cells stopped the big
water wheel which runs the Hallett
electric light plant at Riverhead, Long
Island, a recent night, and as a result
the town was left in utter darkness
while all hands gathered to assist in
taking the wriggling cells from the ma
chinery.
A lantern was procured and one of
the men went down under the building
to make an examination. At first he
thought that the body OF man had
been caught in the wheel. Upon inves-
tigation it was found that solid mass
of live cells had taken possession of the
wheel and become so imbedded In it as
to completely clog the machinery. They
filled the buckets with their wriggling
bodies into solid squirming mass
They lay in layers around the axle and
the whole interior of the wheel-house
was alive with them. After the water
was shut down the wheel was easily ac-
the cells. There were cells there of all
sizes and varieties-big cells, little cells,
fat cells and poor cells, young cells :nd
old eels-and such a sight was never
before seen. Some of the slippery fish
were immense in size, quite number
weighing between five and ten pounds.
At least 500 pounds of cells were caught,
not to speak of the hundreds that es-
cane

Stone Forests of Arizona.

The regions of the Little Colorado
river in Arizona abound in wonderful
vegetable petrifactions, whole forests
being found in some places which are
hard as flint, but which look as if but
recently stripped of their foliage.
Some of these stone trees are standing
just as natural as life, while others are
piled across each other just like the
fallen monarchs OF a real wood forest.
Biologists say that these stone trees
were once covered to the depth OF l,OOo
feet with mari, which transformed them
from wood to solid rock. This mari
after the lapse of ages, washed OUT,
leaving some of the trees standing in an
upright position. The majority or
them. however, are piled helter-skelter
in all directions, thousands of cords
being sometimes piled up on en- acre
of ground.

A Duel on Horseback.

Two farmers living near Wetappo,
Fla. fought duel on horseback with
Winchesters a few days ago, and one
man was killed and the other seriously
wounded by two bullets. The men
had quarreled and each had sworn that
he would Kill the other on sight. They
happened to meet one day last week
on the highway, both being mounted
and both having their rifles. They
opened fire on each other, and three
shots were fired by each. One man.
George Phillips, received all three OF his
opponents bullets, the third penetrat-
ing his brain and killing him instantly.
The other man, j. S. McLain, was hit
by two bullets, and fell unconscious
from his horse as his adversary dropped
off dead. The dead man was married
only a month ago.

Stole Her Grave Clothes.

Hard times are driving the burglars
of Hillsdale county, Mich, to the verge
of the tomb when they resort to such
means to provide for themselves and
families their winter supply of clothing
as did those midnight providers recently
in Camden. A lady eighty years OF age
has for some time rented her farm,
leaving her house furnished and unoc-
cupied, living among her children at
their homes near by. Among her pos
sessions was small trunk, brought
over in the long ago from her home in
England. The old lady visited her
house, as she had been in the habit OF
doing, to see that everything about the
premises were in proper order, the
other morning, finding things all safe
and snug as usual. For some unac-
countable reason she wound up the old
clock in the kitchen. Now this old
time-piece had stood silent on the man
left to the rats and mice. What was
her CONSERVATION, the next morning, to
find rear window of her domicile
smashed in, and the carpets partly
ripped up, but nothing else disturbed
except the old trunk. That surely was
gone. The poor little woman sat down
on the foot of her high post bed where
the somber curtains cast their chadows,
and gave way to food of tears. She
had for years her outfit prepared in the
event of her demise; thinking it the
wisest and best plan to fulfill the scrip
tural text that bids us to put our house
in order. Since the burglary she has
a family living in her residence, and
wisely concludes to 'let nature take it's
course" taking no though of the NOR
row henceforth as to respectable bur-
ial, only hoping that the grewsome
wardrobe that the old trunk contained
will make those burglars as comfort
able as they would have made her had
they fulfilled their original mission.

Iowa's Lakes.

The matter of protecting the lakes Of
Iowa will be one of interest to come be-
fore the next session of the Legislature.
The lakes have been drained in a
great many cases by SPECTATORS, who
cut up the land occupied by them and
sold it to spectators. AS almost all
the lakes in the state can be drained
there is a natural desire to stop the
practice before it goes farther, espe-
cially as there are not too many bodies
of fresh water to be found in the state.

Dig stopped Divorce Suit.

A touching incident occurred recently
in the Berlin divorce court. A lady,
we'll known in society, had caught her
husband, who was sportively inclined,
paying much attention to one of the
stars of the ballet in the Royal opera.
The consequence was divorce sgit.
Both parties appeared early on the day
the trial was to come off with their
lawyers. The wife arrived, dressed in
mourning, tried to appear Indifferent,
but tears trickling down once in a while,
which she quickly wiped off w.t. lace
handkerchief. proved that the defend

A Horses Long Fast.

John MARITIME, of Reliance. Del, lost a
horse and carriage about three weeks
ago and supposed the same to have been
stolen. He advertised and made dill
gent inquiry, all to no purpose. While
in the woods near his home he discov-
cred the horse standing with the car
riage jammed between two trees.
The horse was mere skeleton from its
seventeen days fast, and had eaten off
a large gum tree, which was the only
thing edible within reach. The animal
was taken home and cared for and will
likely recover, despite its terrible ex-
perience.

Stayed Indoors for Fourteen Years.

Talk about woman's will. In
Lansing, Mich, resides lady who has
enjoyed good health and yet has not
been outside the dooryard for fourteen
years. On one occasion, when she re-
turned home too late to get supper for
her husband, he grumbled and said
that he hoped the next time that she
went out she would break her leg.
This led the woman to declare she
would never again go outside the yard.
Later, when the husband died, OF re-
morse, probably, she followed the cas-
ket to the gate and refused to go fur
Their, and from that time has never left
the premises.
