A Gum Hunter.

Johnathan has been into the woods
eighteen seasons, and his occupation
there has been gathering spruce gum.
He builds cabin in the fall when he
is about to begin work in new terri
tory. 1t is generally small one, but
he takes great pains to make it one
that can easily be kept warm. One
year he passed five months without
seeing human being, and at the end
of that time he found that another
man had been III q camp less than two
miles from him all winter. They did
not see each others tracks, for. the
reason that the other fellow was trap
ping. and confined his journeyings
to valley where large stream and
it's branches gave him q field for his
operations. Two miles away Mr..
Stone lived in his little camp on the
edge of big spruce growth, and in
following this he went away from in
stead of toward his neighbor, the
trapper. When they had finished
their seasons work and got acquainted
coming out, they told each other Of
the lonesome evenings passed in their
respective camps.-Lewiston (Me.)

Proof OF What He Saw.

Every one would be interested in
pictures of the wonderful things peo-
pie see when they haven't gun along.
We are not likely to have that long
felt want supplied; but an ingenious
man has patented camera which is
to be attached to gun barrels. By
this the amateur sportsman will be en-
abled to tell without difficulty whether
he has shot an unoffending cow in
place of the expected bear, or brought
down his best friend instead of brace
of birds. 1t will photograph the ex-
act spot at which the gun was aimed,
and will enable hunfsman thus to
see whether he wounded or killed the
thing ct which he shot. The device is
easily removable, and the hunters
breast pocket serves as clark room
for the records of his skill.-New Or

Object Lesson in Tree Planting.

The region of the Landes, which,
fifty years ago, was one of the poorest
aud m1st miserable in France, has
now beon made one Of the most pros
porous, owing to the planting of
pines. The increased value is esti-
mated at no less than 5000, 900, 600.
Where there were fifty years ago only
q few thousand poor aud unhealthy
Shepherds. whose focks pastured on
the scanty herbage, there are now

Japan's Great Cathedral.

When foreign architects visit Japan
and gee the Cathedral of Buddhism for
the first time they are generally aston
ished at the magnificent structure. 1t
is executed in pure Oriental style,
md is richly ornamented with carv-
ings. Il. Ito, q famous builder, OF
Nagoya City, designed it. The struc-
ture was commenced in 1878, and was
completed this year. The cost has
been estimated OF S12,0O0,O00. 1t
would have greatly exceeded this
amount had not numbers Of Buddhists
worked without any recoppense.
AS the structure neare9 completion,
the committee having tie work in
charge was much perplexea as to fire
insurance. They found that no COM
pany would assume the risk on such o
valuable wooden structure, the danger
of destruction by fire being very
great, and thus the premiums would
amount to an enormous sum of money.
At last the committee decided on q
design devised by DR.. Tanabe. Num-
bers of powerful fountains were con-
structed, both exterior and interior,
which can be made to play on all parts
of the structure at the same time.
Usually only one great ornamental
fountain is playing, rising to the great
height of 157 feet. This is probably
the largest artificial fountain in exist
ence, emitting S2,OSO gallons per
hour. In case of fire all the water
pressure is directed through the nSm-
bers of exterior and interior fountaies,
thus every part of the structure, both
inside and out. could soon be drenchod
and any conaagration soon be extinv
guished. Detroit Free Press.

In q Candy Factory.

From top to bottom the floors Of
the factory are covered with tiles, and
I noticed that thsre were people en-
gagged in all Parts of the building
scrubbing and washing these tiled
floors. For candy factory it was the
least sticky or smeery place I ever
saw. Absolute cleanliness and sweet
ness was the rule. There vas a slight
drift of sugar about, as in o mill
where wheat is being ground, and
your coat might get q little powdered,
but there always was sweeping going
on.
Chocolate making I need not de-
scribe, only to state that everything
was done here by machinery, for the
chocolate as pro lucad enters for n
large percentage into the bonbons
manufactured.
In tue sugar-plum departments
hand-work seemed to be constant.
Tidy-looking young women, all with
caps on, we're working away, each one
with little saucepan before her full
of sugar; the sugar was in pasty
condition, the heat being derived
from steam. In these saucepans were
colored sugars of all the hues Of the
rainbow. The work-women would
take up an almond or O pistache-nut,
and drop it in the saucepan, then fish
it out with a bit OF. wire fashioned in
loop form. The art was to get just
the proper coating. Then with dex-
terous motion of the wrist the sugar-
plur1 would be placed IN @ tin pan,
and with deft motion Of the wire loop
O nice finish would be given to the top
of it. There were some very small
sugar plums, and it would take two
hundred of them to make q pound.
They were all exact in form. These
little things, SO the foreman told me,
had gone through ter processes before
they had arrived at their present con-
dition. Some of the sugar-plums were
made in moulds. There was pure leg
erdemain about these. A man took
funnel, and dropped the sugar, just at
the crystallizing point, in moulds.
They were very small things, not more
than On inch long by half an inch
wide, but the confectioner never
poured a drop in the wrong place.
Dear mel if I tried to do that, ]
should make precious mess of it.
Here were sugar-plums of many
shades, every work-woman seeming to
have specially. 1t was something
not alone requiring alertness of hand'
but constant watchfulness as to the
condition OF the material usel. If il
had been too soft, the bonbon would
have run and been out of shape. II
the sugar paste had been too hard, ii
would have been intractable. How
they managed not to burn anything
was q wonder. .-Harper's Round Ia

A Big Piece of Coal.

In the Mineral and Fclestry Build
ing at Atlanta, Ga., has been placed
on display the largest piece of coal in
one lump ever taken from one vein.
This is solid block OF coal eleven
feet six inches in height and three feet
one inch on each side.
By geological experts it is regarded
as one of the most phenomenal exhi-
bits of this character ever placed on
display. This piece of coal was taken
especially for the Government in its

the vein at an immense cost and
brought to the exposition in a special

Facts About Lat Year.

Last year in this country various
persons gave $12, 2,379,s2 to colleges;
s5,745, $40 to charities; $2,OS9, $50 to
churches; to museums and art galleries
81, 1,724, 500, to libraries $3.50, 4S9, and
to other institutions SO, All, ,976; to-
tai of S2S, 943, 549, which is nearly
$40, 900, 600 more than was given the
year before.
Against this bright record we must
contrast very different chapter of
statistics. Last year this country lost
1850 lives by shipwreck, about 1000
fewer than were lost in 1894. Our
railways killed 5000 persons; about
$50 moro than were killed in 1894.
We lost by fire last year $131, ,57S, 206,
about $15, 100000 more than the pre-
vious year.
In the world at large 70, ,461 persons
lost their lives in epidemics, falling
off of so per cent from the year before.
In war 157,9S6 lives were lost last
year.
Suicides and murders have largely
increased. Last year there were s, 759
suicidea, and for the past ten years
they have increased at fearful rate.
In 1895 we had 10,500 murders, an in
crease OF 700.
Lynchings show decrease. In 1895
there were III persons lynched as COM
pared with 1874 the year previous.
Embezzlements are also on the de-
crease, the defalcations for last year
amounting to less than half OF the to-
tai for 1894.
Upon the whole. it is record of
light and shade. Some of 1t is very
black, but the bright spots will en-
courage those who maintain that the
world is growing better.

The s Mark.

Did it ever strike you as being at all
peculiar that we should use the dollar
(S) before, instead of after the figures
in expressing the sum of Eve, ten,
twenty or any other numter of dol
lars? We may say twenty-five dol
lars" plain enough for any one to un-
derstand, but as soon as we put the
expression into figures and characters
it is "dollars twenty-five" 1929 in
stead of 25$, as it should be. Nor is
this ali t..,s. is peculiar in this connec-
tion: In every country which has
written language and system OF coin
age the abbrevlation for the unit OF
value precedes the figures. In Eng
land the pound mark (e) is used IN
the same manner that the dollar mark
is used in this country, while the same
regularity is noticeable in Germany,
where the abbreviation m. (for mark)
appears preceding the number, just as
the French Authorization #: lfor franel,
isased in France.
If the abbreviations are rot used
the legend is more apt to be correct.
We find that in Mexico they have
"2s pesos" instead of "p. 81" as one
might expect, and in Newfoundland
they have a PLAIN two dollar piece.
So, too, in France, where the abbre-
Walton is not used we find such pieces
as $40 francs" 500 francs" and $40
francs" Iu Germany they have a
piece marked "X thaler," which is all
very plain, but the moment clerk,
bookkeeper or other person makes an
entry or iots down memorandum he
tells you that it is q eth. X" The
English pound sign, which is believed
to be the oldest monetary abbrevia-
tion now in use, is the old initial let
ter by which the Romans expressed
pounds" just rs we use the "ibs." !"
It has been suggested that We use our
money authorizations backward, be-
cause that the Romans in expressing
pounds" always said "ilbra decem,"
instead of "decem LIBRA, the first be-
ing "pounds ten" and the latter "ten
pounds" When their initial letter or
character was used it always preceded
the figures, thus "elO," instead OF the
reverse. Thus the whole world nave
gotten in the habit of doing these
things backward. Louis Republic.

Cremation Growing in Favor.

Cremation of the dead is growing in
favor in Philadelphia. A cremation
society was organized in 1883, and the
number of bodies cremated each year
since then has increased steadily. In
1889 there were twenty-eight crema-
tions, and so far this year there have
been eighty-six. The society has
started recently scheme to ..spopu-
larize the movement" by issuing
bonds which net the purchaser three

A SINGER CROWNED.
The light came softly streaming

The light came softly streaming
The day the singer died;
They whispered: HE is dreaming
he lay SO tranquil-eyed.
No vision OF Deaths river
Flashed or. the waiting throng;
The pale lips seemed to quiver
Still with immoral song.
And nations came and crU wned him
With laurels of their love;
The deathless glory round him
Seemed like that above.
But greater than all glory
OF worlds, or worlds to be.
Was Loves last, sweetest story,
In Loves simplicity.
For to the singer sleeping
Where none might heed or mark.
A little child came creeping
With lilies in the dark.
And, mid the laurels cleaning,
With trembling hands and fair,
Laid them above his dreaming
Kissed them, and left them there.

Indians in Canada,

In Canada the white man provides
provender for the winter. He lays in
a store of frozen meat, frozen game,
frozen fish and frozen milk. He has
vegetables IN his cellar, stacks of fire.
wood at his door, and has his larder
stocked with all the necessaries and
many of the luxuries of life. The In
dians, except those now becoming civ
ilized, do none of these things. A
fatalist could not be more apathetic on
the subject of his next meal than is
the red Indian, even when the prairie
is beneath two feet Of snow, must be
so for many months, and the ther-
mometer fingers day after day at
thirty degrees below zero, with an oc.
casional dip to forty degrees. The wild
Indian in winter starves; he starves
himself. Two winters ago I was among
the Stony Indians, on the lake dotted
plains of Alberta, almost within sight
of the Rockies. There was not one of
them who possessed more than days
food, except the chief, who had had
the forethought to grow and store
few bushels of potatoes. They subsisted
by netting fish from beneath the
frozen surface of lake; they shot
partridges and rabbits. Whenever
they, did SO they teasted.
If day came when the fish could
not be caught, and the rabbits and
partridges would not be shot-why,
then they tasted and smoked kinikinik
(the inner bark of the ged willow.)
While I was with them two squaws, af-
ter three days sport, shot a bear,
some rabbits and some cartridges.

was left, and the sleepers slept the

The smile died away from her face;
she grew very pale, and her fingers
trembled little as she played with
the heather, but she spoke calmly, al
most coldly. "I did not know it WAS

Still she looked away, intent on
tearing up the unfortunate heather by

silent dismay; he could not under
stand her in this variable mood. s

when the silence had become unbear-

great sadness in his voice, his face
seemed in moment to have aged and

propped himself on one elbow. with
his face well away from hers.
Something was laid on his bowed
head. 1t was Ruth's little hand.
"Mark," she said, softly.
"What is it, Ruth?"
"Look up; want to fell you some

miserable pair of eyes towards her..

took his face between her two hands
