Good Advice.

There are many living in this state
who remember good old Dr. Eaton, who
was president of Colgate university forty
years ago. He was greatly beloved by
his Students who desired his good opin-
ion above all else. One commencement
day the student who had delivered the
valedctory approached the doctor and
timidly asked him what he thought OF
the effort The doctor looked at him a
moment and then said, slowly: Edward,

from the wings Of your imagination and
stick them in the tail Of your judgment,
YOU would make better speeches. "-Bos-

Half a Mile in Depth.

Nearly two years ago borehole was
started az the Charles D. kaler Brewing
company's plant, in Mahonoy City, Pa,
with the supposition that at depth Of a
few hundred feet the drill would strike
sufficient water to supply the large plant.
Month after month they worked, passing
through the coal mea sures, and still no
water was found. Lately the hope has
been centered on the REQ shale. Experts
claimed that when this was encountered
there would be gush of water. This
week red shale has been reached, but
as yet no water has been found. The
borehole has now reached a depth of
1000 feet. and the boring still continues.

THE SPINNING WHEEL

According to the Revue Scientifique, q
French mine-owner in the Transvaal has
some monkeys infected with the auri
sacra flames. 1t has happened in this
way. The mine-owner had originally
two little monkeys, which were in the
habit of accompanying their master in
his visit to the mines. They saw the
workmen gathering the ore, and soon
learned to initiate them and to distin-
guish traces of the precious metal. They
thus became of use to their employer,
who procured twenty-four others, which,
having been initiated into the mysteries
of mining by the two first pioneers, soon
became so expert as to fill the places
of five or six men. The monkeys are
extremely honest, says the veraciOus cor
respondent of the Revue, for they have
not yet been perverted by their human
fellow-workers, and never try to appro-
pirate nuggets.
