FREAKS OF THE MISSOURI.
Farmers Who Find Their Fields Have
Disappeared Over Night.

Farmers Who Find Their Fields Have
Disappeared Over Night.
In st. Nicholas Frank H. Spearman
has paper entitled ga Shifting
Boundary" which is particularly
timely just at present, as it tells of the
way the Missouri River has of sud-
denly changing its boundaries. Mr..
Spearman says:
Of course you've heard of the curl
Gus freaks of the Missouri River--the
''Big Muddy" how the sudden, treach.
erous mountain waters roll down in
mighty floods from Montana and
Wyoming, ricochet from side to side ol
the broad valley they have eaten deep
into the soft prairies, and pour head,
long into the Mississippi near st. Louis;
how, night and day, winter and sum-
mer, the twisting torrent shifts its
channel, cuts its banks, nndermines
railroads, astonishes the muskrats,
keeps the fish studying guide-posts,
worries the bridge guards, and sets the
farmers crazy For, just think of it;
the Nebraska farmer whose land
stretches along the river goes to bed
thinking he will cut his broad acres Of
golden wheat in the morning; but To-!
in the night that madcap river has en-
tered his waving fields, and the like
snow they have melted away. Grain,
fences, trees, buildings, land-are
gone! And great, sullen, yellow food
boils and eddies where his harvest
smiled yesterday.
Next week, very likely, the reckless
stream will make his neighbor across
the river present of a hundred or
more acres, just because he doesn't
need them. Of course it was natural
for man who lost his land that way
to look longingly across the river, and
think, after q while, that the newly
made land over there belonged to him;
and many wearisome lawsuit has
begun to recover title to ''made" land
which lies, maybe, exactly where the
lost farm lay, but on the other side of
the river. Perhaps there is some
equity in such claim; but the trouble
is, that sort of thing is going on all the
time, and the courts said they couldn't
keep track of such pranks; that lands
acquired by accretion-mark that word
should belong to the farmer who
owned the river-bank where they were
thrown up; that if the river took your
farm, you would have to fish it out Of
the stream you lost it in; at least, you
needn't ask the courts to give you an-
other for it.

For though each heart rebrllous swe!ls

A woodchuck That Climbs Trees.

'Jack" Dodge, of Lanesboro, Penn,
was sitting in his doorway when he
saw big woodchuck stealing along n
knoll across the creek. not more than
a hundred rods away. The wood
chuck stopped at the foot of the tree,
inspected it for moment, and then
climbed it with the ease of a squirrel,
but going up as bear climbs tree.
The animal did not remain long in the
tree and came down, letting itself
down backward Tt then went up an
other tree. where it could be seen nip
ping off the sprigs of the pine tree.
After eying the unusual sight for some
time Dodge took his rifle and picked
the woodchnck from his perch. The
animal weighed twenty pounds.

THERE'S A BOY IN THE HOUSE.

A racket, rattle, a rollcking shout
Above and below and around and about.
A whistling, pounding, hammering of nails,
The building of houses, the shaping of sails.
Entreaties for paper for scissors, for string,
For every unfindable, bothersome thing.
A bang of the door, and dash up the stairs
In the interest of burdensome business affairs,
And an elephant hunt for bit OF mouse
Made it easy to hear there s boy in the house.
But oh, if the tods were not scattered about
And the house never echoed to racket and rout
If forever TIL rooms We're all tidy and neat,
And one need not brush after wee, muddy feet
If no one laughed out when the morning was
red,
And with kisses went tumbling all tired to bed.
What wearisome, work a day world don It you
see,
For all who loved wild little laddies 'twould be,
And I'm happy to think, tho l shrink like q
mouse
From disorder and din-there's boy in the

Military Training-what Is 1tq

Some persons are of opinion that it is
not wise to cultivate in the young, by
drilling and marching exercises, mill
tary spirit. When these exercises are in
troduced into private schools, it is with
aview to improve the bearing Of scholars
and to provide healthful exercise But
certainly in these, as well as in our army
and naval schools, great pains should be
taken to Undue the pupils with desire
to excel in those qualities and character
istics which belong to truly brave sol
diers. One might imagine, from reading
the accounts Of what is called 'hazing"
in the schools, that the object was to
produce an army Of brigands who would
insult an unarmed traveller, or kill any
one carrying money. Persons of refined
feelings find it difficult to believe that
the practice should ever be thought
amusing. Boys either stronger or more
in number than their victims are cow
ardly enough to assail them when they
cannot defend themselves and adopt
some means of terrifying them or inflict-
ing pain. Can such men ever grow up
into gentlemen ready to defend the op-
pressed, or protect the weak, or refrain
from cruelty to vanquished enemy if
in early life their feelings are SO blunt
ed? 1t is preposterous to say that those in
charge Of the schools cannot prevent
these outrages. If they cannot, they are
unfit to train boys Some initiation cere-
monies can be devised which are neither
coarse nor brutal. A good joke, which
should be one to please both parties, is
illustrated by the following anecdote:
A young German prince, walking
with his tutor, noticed that peasant at
work in the fields had left his wooden
shoes under ledge. "Let us put stones
in them, said the boy, land hide near
to witness his discontinue. LET Us
put some money into each one," sug-
gested his tutor, and then conceal our
selves to witness his surprise and pleas
ure. "-Southern Churchman.

stimulate the sluggish Kidneys

In addition to its tonic and cathartic
properties, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
exercises beneficial influence upon the
kidney and bladder, when they are mac
tive, by stimulating them to renewed ex-
ertion, thus reopening, as it we're, sluice
for the escape of impurities whose reg
ular channel of exit is the organs of uri-
nation. Among these are certain abb
normal and inhammatory elements, pro-
ductive of irreparable injury to the sys-
tenn if not entirely expelled The kid
neys and bladder themselves are also
benefited by this stimulous, as their in
activity is usually preliminary to their
disease and disorganization. They also
experience, in common with other por-
tions of the system, the potent invigora-
tive effects Of the Bitter, which further
more corrects disordered conditions of
the stomach, bowels and liver.

This edition Of the Bible was published
