tation bell buoys in harbors, Under a
patent just granted. ga current aetu-
ated bell buoy" is what the inventor
calls it. The action from the force of
the current is wholly automatic! The
float upon which the superstructure
and bell are mounted cuts and shifts
from side to side. A ball is confined
in tube uEder the bell at its mouth,
and having free passage as the float
lists it strikes the bell with great force.
The bell will ring equally we'll by the
action of the sea.
The feature that is most novel is
that the bell is at its best when the
sea is smoothest., just so long as
there is motion in the water, whether
tidal or current, it is sufficient to ring
the bell. This feature will be most
appreciated by masters and pilots for
the reason that as a rule q thick fog
is accompanied by a deathlike still
ness. 1t is then that the skipper anx.
iously feels his way, listening for
some familiar guiding sound. He has
no hope OF hearing bell that is alone
actuated by the sea, but the tide is al
ways with him, either at ebb or flow,
and the tidal bell buoy is sure to be
faithfully at work, pealing it warning
notice. New York Journal.

lie Could Cook,

A Lewiston man has been complain
ing lately that his wife does not pay
enough attention to cooking ''for to-
morrow" At such times his wife has
remarked, "Why don't you cook your
self?" The last time she said this was
at supper time Monday night. He
didn't answer, but after supper he
filled the cook stoY0 with wood, took
off his coat and started in. He got her
cook book down and began at the com
tnencement, and made two pans of
doughnuts, two batehes of biscuit, mo-
lasses gingerbread, hasty pudding to
fry for breakfast, cookies, tarts, Six
custard pies, boiled vegetables for
breakfast hash, and in half an hour
had the stove covered with dishes of
all kinds. His wife went out into the
kitchen and dropped spoechiess into a
chair. At half past eleven that night
he washed the last dish aud closed the
dumb waiter. filled with food which
compared very well with some his wife
had made, and went to bed. The next
noon his wife handed him q bill OF
S7.49, which she said was the amount
of raw material he had used the night
before. "Are you going TO cook as
much as that every day?" she asked

An old Welsh blacksmith, who was
also dealer in groceries and various
other trihes, was uuablo to read OF

representation OF anything he sold on
credit did duty TOR written symbols.

the schoolmaster, to make out his bills

And there, sure enough, was a big

represented a cheese. Then ensued n
wordy war between blacksmith and

say which had the best OF it. Sir

Wanted-An Heir.

One OF the most curious cases down
for hearing in the Court Of Chancery
is the final settlement of the disputed
will of the celebrated prima donna,
Nine. pitiens, whose death occurred in
1877, nearly twenty years ago. Nine.
Titiens was born in 1910 at Hamburg.
She made her first appearance on the
stage at the early age of fifteen. She
was never married, and at her death
her immense fortune was left to a rela-
tive, who, however, disappeared three
years before her death, and has never
since been heard of. The missing rela-
tive, Peter Titjen, was in 1873 resid-
ing in Cardiff, and shortly after that
time he intimated his intention of 90.
ing to South America, but whether ho
ever did SO cannot be traced. For
nearly twenty years the next relatives
have endeGvored to obtain the wealth
on the presumption that he is dead,
and has left no heirs, and last year an
order was granted that, after proper
advertising, if ho or his heirs failed to
appear it should be assumed he was
dead. -Galignani Messenger.

Slate for Houses

Slate is too much overlooked as
material for inside decoration. It ex-
lists IN many different shades. 1t is

is that SO little of it is in common use.

WHERE'S MoTHER7

Bursting in from school or play,
This Is what the children say;
Trooping, crowdinR, big and small,
On the threshold, in the hall
Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by,
"where's mother ?"
From the weary bed Of pain
This same question comes again;
From the boy with sparkling eyes
Bearing home his earliest prize;
From the bronzed and bearded son,
Perils past and honors won;
"Where's mother"
Burden with u lonely task,
Ono day we may vainly ask
For tho comfort of her face,
For the rest Of her embrace;
Let us love her while we may,
Well for us that we can say
"where's mother Z"
Mother with untiring hands
Attho post OF duty stands,
Patient, seeking not her own
Anxious for the good alone

How strange it is, muses. James Pavn
in the New York Independent, that
Africa, the least populated, and ON the
whole the least interesting of the four
quarters of the globe, should always
DO written about at greater length
than any of the others. From the
days of Livingstone down to that of
Slatin Pasha accounts of this region
have always been published in extern
so. When you have read ons chapter
about the Soudan you have read al
most all; one chief is the fac simile of
another; one tribe, one army stand
for all one rule of cruelty and blood
shed extends from end to end of the
great tarren tract. The pictures of
h'deous men and still more hideous
women that illustrate works on African
travel do not enhance their attractions.
If the writers would condense a little
feel sure they would have much more
OF the public's attention.

In paper in the Forum on 1.-THE
Future of the South, A. S. Van dc
Graaf says; "The South is large: it
yet remains thinly peopled and prac-
tically undeveloped. Great as has
been the industrial advance made,
considerable as appears the present
immigration movement, they but
family toreshadow the development
now at hand. If so much has been
done in the last thirty years under
such disadvantages and PRACTICAL y
unaided by immigration, what may we
not expect when that rich tide which
has created the Empire States of the
Northwest is turned in even greater
volume southwark Only the marvel
GUS growth OF the great West itself
can guide the imagination in attempt
ing the forecast, and even that must
be surpassed. To the South unques-
tlonably belongs the future. In such
an expansion of its population and
wealth as even a single generation has
witnessed in the West, its race problem
must vanish even though the emigra-
tion of the colored people should
cease; sectional lines must be blotted
out and South and North merged in
the indivisible Union, which is identity
OF interest and conditions, as well as
of blood, of language and of history.
The people of the South are ready fol
this the more perfect Union, the pro-
phetic aspiration-never the attain
ment-of the fathers; Louisville,
Chattanooga and Atlanta have spoken
our feeling. 1t but remains for the
people of the North to come m share
all the wonder that shall be. "
