Relics of a Moose Fight.

Mr.. II. G.. Mower, of Dexter, has on
his farm a log cabin which he has orna-
mented with various trophies OF the
chase. One is of uncommon interest,
1t is a single moose horn of good size
with three broker prongs, that is u
relic of u forest battle between two bull
moose that no man saw, but which was
so desperately fought that both the
animals left their interlockcd antlers
on the field as a memorial of it's fierce
ness. Deep in the forest north of
Mount Katahdin, MI. Solomon Bates,
of Heresy plantation, u relative of Mr..
Mower, CHANGED upon these trophies.
The four horns were hooked together
and all were broken off squarely at the
base. The solidity of the bony struc-
ture of the horns indicates that they
were lost in the height of the season,
when they must have been firmly set
and could not have been wrenched off
without a tremendous struggles They
certainly have n suggestion of forest
wildness md vigor about them as mute
proofs of such a conflict, that puts the
ordinary antler away into the back
ground for NATURALIZATION (Me.)

Jesus comes into the garden and up to
that old man, and ouches him and
says, almost home, father; not many
more aches for thee; TAX courage a
little longer and l will steady thy tot
tering steps, and L will soothe thy
troubles and give thee rest.
Courage, old man" Then Christ
goes up another garden path, and
He comes to a soul in trouble and says:
"Peacei all is we'll. 1 have seen thy

sun shall not smite thee by day nor

preserve thee from all evil; he will pre-

is breaking off flowers, sharp and

stop, Jesus, don't kill those beautiful
flowers" He turns to me and says: II

lilies, and 1 mean to TAX e these up to a

them; and in better soil and in better
air they shall put forth brighter leaves

Iooked up into His face and said:
"Well, it is His garden, and He has a
right to do what he will with it. Thy
will be done!" the hardest prayer ever

DEEP-SEA
Measuring the Deepest Hole in the Ocean
Without a Line.

Measuring the Deepest Hole In the Ocean
without a Line.
The deepest spot in the ocean was re-
Gently discovered 10y the surveying ship
Penguin, near the Friendly islands, in
the South Pacific. At least, it is sup
posed to be the deepest spot.
Nobody knows what the depth there
is, because the sounding line broke up
on the two occasions when it was at
tempted to reach the bottom. Upon
the first cast being made by Capt. Bal
four, of the Penguin, 1890 fathoms
were run out and then the wire broke.
Another attempt to take the depth was
made some days later.
Upon this occasion the captain man
aged to pass 1900 fathoms, being 90, 400
feet, or more than five miles of wire,
over the shIp's side. The wire was still
running out when another break oc-
CURED.
An invention has now been perfected,
however, which will enable marine sur
veyors to take the very deepest sound
ipgs, no matter how great the depth
may be. This new method of taking
deep-sea soundings dispenses with the
line altogether. The whole thing is SO
simple it is a wonder somebody did not
think of it before.
A microphone is first let down over
the side of the ship n short distance be-
meath the surface of the water. A deli
cately adjusted cartridge properly
weighted with lead is then thrown
overheard, and an officer on deck notes
the time by a stop watch the moment it
strikes the surface of the water.
This cartridge sinks steadily, main
tanning an erect position in the water as
it goes down. The moment it touches
the bottom the cartridge explodes and
the m~icrophone far above records the
event.
Then it Is n simple matter of calcuia-
ton to ascertain the depth. The rate
of fall of the cartridge in the water is
known, as well as the rate of decrease IN
its speed as it reaches the deepest lev-
els, where h water is compressed by
the weight of that above.
With this table of figures in hand, the
number of seconds or minutes occupied
by the cartridge in reaching the bottom
forms the basis of the calculation. BY
this means steamers n sailing vessels
can take soundings in water of any
depth, without subsequent loss of time
in waiting to haul up the line. A vessel
can even take soundings while sailing
ahead, as the sound of the conclusion
may be recorded in the microphone
miles away, and the latter may be
dragged astern.-N. Y. Journal.

Cockeril1 Got Even.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The following amusing incident in
the life of the late John A. Cockerill is
told by Rev. Cyrus Rifle, of Mount
Olivet, KY, who was intimately ac-
quainted with the great newspaper
man when he was editor of a little
country weekly in Adams County, Ohio.
One of Editor Cockerill's delinquent
subscribers came in one day and told
him he would haul him a load OF wood
the following saturday if he were liv-
ing. Saturday came, but no wood ma
terialized. The following week Editor
Cockerill came out in his paper with q
lengthy obituary of the man. He re-
cited his many noble characteristics,
went with him through life and finally
landed him safely across the Jordan.
The man upon reading his own obitu-
ary came to see Cockerill In a perfect
rage. He demanded an explanation
and. .Cockerill said that he supposed him
dead, as he had promised him load OF
wood if living.

Give The Boy Land.
The Household.

The Household.
Every boy that lives on farm, and
every girl too, for that matter, should
have the use of piece of ground. II
need be only a small, out-of-the way
corner at first, a place for the child to
dig and make plans, increasing gradu-
ally to the acre of corn or potatoes OF
turnlps or whatever 1t may be, as the
child grows older.
There are few farms that could not
spare it, and few children to whom il
would not be benefit.
Books and magazines and games are
good but they are for the mind, and
the leisure hours and while they may
keep the children at home, they can
scarcely foster taste for farming with.
out something to supplement them.
A child early learns the meaning Of
possession, and a few square rods of hli
own will be more to him than the
broad acres of his father. Many a boy
has grown to manhood on the farm
and left 1t at the earliest possible mo-
ment after he became OF age because
he mad been made mere. machine
laborer without laborer's wages.

The Lunette Souchard,

There has been introduced of late for
use by the French army, it is reported,
what is known as the lunette Souchard
that is, a powerful binocular glass
tor determining the exact distance of
an object from the observer. When
the glass is in focus there are lnterposed
by movement of the fingers between
the eye and the object two prisms Of
Iceland spar then there are brought
into the field of vision two images, the
one being the real object the other a
smoky facsimile in line with and at the
rear of it, the second image being more
as the distance is greater.
The object which serves for the ad-
justment of the glass is either soldier
of ordinary stature or one on horse
back. If the head of the real image
reaches to the shoulder of the facsimile
he is distant just 800 meters, 80 5-S
inches to the meter If to the waist of
the image 600 meters if to the knees
900 meters /; if the feet of the image
rest on the head Of the SOL
dler the distance Is exactly 1,4OO met
ers if there is a space between the feet
of the one and the head of the other
the distance can only be approximately
determined.

What Educational Bureaus Say.
Selected.

Selected.
The managers of the educational bu-
reaus, whose business is to supply places
for teachers, say that the demand Tor
women to teach the sciences is greater
In proportion to the supply than in
any other direction.
The girl with a natural taste for
chemistry, zoology. mineralogy, or as
tronomy may cultivate her special
science with a reasonable expectation
that she can "put money In her purse, !"
or, in other words, that the place waits
for her coming. It seems as if this
were the one field of labor that is not
overcrowded, and girls with ability in
any of these directions, and also with a
taste for teaching, with the power of
imparting what they have learned
might take this little hint that the
bureaus have so kindly dropped.

Chicago Dog Puts Out Fires.

Dial of Progress.
Pat is Chicago bull terrier, owned
by south side young lady. He de.
serves decoration, If ever any dog did.
His full name is Patrick McPhelim
O'Leary Kllduff, and among other
things that he learned early in life was
to extinguish match with his paw.
Then little by little he was taught to
put out blazing newspaper, and be-
cause OF this training he was absolutely
without fear of fire. One day all the
family went out, leaving Pat in the
house with no one for company but a
who was attending to some
repairs. As the carpenter was leaving
he lighted his pipe and carelessly threw
the match On the floor, which was lit
tered with shavlngs. Pat saw in mo-
ment what had happened and grappled
with the danger like we'll trained dog.
He paved and bit the burning shavings
and finally succeeded in putting the fire
out.

THE OLD SPINNING WHEEL.

It used to stand in the kitchen. in 8
corner CHEEKY and bright,
Where the burning log in the fireplace
shot up glowing fountains of light,
And the cracking flames played hide
and seek with the shadows hid away
In the yawning mouth of the chimney
so awfully huge and gray,
Or leaped out on the red brick hearth
and danced with the shadows there,
While the old wheel kept the best OF
time in the firelight's fitful glare.
Singing and spinning,
Spinning and singing,
Now fast and faster it turns,
And the flames leaped high
And the shadows danced by
When grandmother used to spin.
The wool on the old brown spindle was
as snowy as the snowdrlfts outside
And seemed as we watched it whlrling
round like SNOWFALL taking ride.
Then winding the yarn in big round
ball, so firm and soft and white,
We were almost afraid it would really
melt in the heat of the open freight,
But tossed it about and watched 1t grow
as the wheel kept buzzlng round,
And laughed and romped In the ruddy
glow and thought it the sweetest
sound.
Spinning and singing,
Singing and spinning,
Now fast and faster it turns,
And the flames leaped high
And the shadows danced by
When grandmother used to spin.
