Natures Cold Storage Ho0se.

In the valley CT the Petchora river,
into the Arctic ocean near Nova z. n-
bla, there is a state of things which is
attracting the attention of naturalists
and is only one more example of how
judiciously nature does her work when
her primitive conditions are observed.
This valley has a sturdy growth of
crow berries, cloudberries, cranberries,
any plumber of small fruit bearing
plants, with heath moss and lichens,
aome of which bear seed and fruit in
great profusion. An eminent ornitholo-
gist, in the course of his researches in
this locality, stopped for a little time
There We're millions Of acres covered
with these growths The arctic summer
has perpetual sun, and the indigenous
plants and trees grow and develop with
great rapidity. The summer comes sud-
denly, and with it innumerable birds
Of all varieties, but they come to what
seems barren waste, for there is moth
ing visible but snow and ice. Within "a
hours, however, this frostbound region
changes its appearance. The snow dis
solves, the ice melts away, and nature S
bounty stands revealed. The autumn
SHOWS fall here and cover the plants,
with their loads of fruit, keeping it in
the most perfect condition until the
springtime, when it furnishes food for
the millions of birds that make this
their summer home. New Y ork Ledger.

LABRADOR DOGS.
How q Number of Them Went on an I'M
promptu Hunt.

How a Number of Them Went on an Inn
promptu Hunt.
The dogs Of Labrador are not only
most useful as draft animals, but for
hunting as we'll. A writer in Forest
and Stream, who has spent several sea-
sons in Labrador, relates rather thrill
ing experience with team of these
dogs, who, he says, trot along content
edly enough so long as there is no game
in sight, but the moment they scent
game they seem to conclude that drag
ging sled is for them merely q side is
sue; that their actual mission in life is
to 60 after the game whenever it is
within range. He says:
"a thaw had been followed by a
frost, and tho snow covering the ice on
the lakes was frozen hard. So four Of
our party got on the sleigh to have a
final drive. They started in great glee,
and just as they rounded the first point
they saw a fine young caribou buck
about 500 yards ahead AS soon as the
dogs saw it they gave yelp like pack
of wolves and started like an arrow
from a bow after the caribou, which
looked round Oh hearing the yelp, saw
its pursuers and flew over the ice keep
dogs started with a jerk, one of the party
was thrown off violently and slid long
way Oh the hard snow before he could
pull up, feeling redhot from the fric-
tion and gazing wistfully after his fast
disappearing comrades, who clung to
the sleigh like grim death and enjoyed
this novel hunt. Of course, there was
not the slightest chance of their catch.
ing the animal, which, instead of max
ing for the bush on the nearest shore,
held Oh in the middle Of the lake, right
up to the end, where it took to the
woods. The impromptu hunters soon
found themselves i'll q difficulty, for it
was impossible to stop the dogs, who
could not realize that they had sleigh
behind them with passengers. The
driver tried in vain to stop them, and
there was every probability Of broken
limbs Or necks when they would strike
the bush. However, they soon made up
their minds and dropped OF one by one,
rolling over and over in the snow, or
sliding some distance away, with much
damage to their neither garments and
much abrasion of the cuticle. Mean
while the dogs, relieved of the weight
rushed after the deer, and, entering the
woods, got tangled up among the trees,
and, as usual Oh such occasions, wound
up with a free fight among themselves.
After c4tricating them the party re-em-
barked and drove quietly back to the
house, where they repaired damages,
related their adventure and wrote it
down in the clubs logbook.

New York Chinese Quarters.

There is one feature of New York
nmusements that is wholly unknown to
the Chinaman, and that is the concert
garden. To congregate in public place
to drink Intoxicating beverages, listen
to sensuous music and watch vulgar
displays of the human figure, to be
waited upon by young women of more
than questionable character, to take
part in profane and obscene talk, all
this is beneath the dignity of China
man, and nowhere in the Chinese quar-
ter, from beginning to end, can such q
place be found. But they are found Oh

italians and Jews fill the places to the
doors. Helen F. Clark in Century.

A Fisherman,s story.

"About ten years ago-yes, just ten
years-I pulled a bass out of the water
that looked to weigh about pound,
and the line broke at distance Of about
a foot from the hook" said the fisher
man.
"And then, about five years after
ward" another hastened to interrupt,
"you caught him again, with the hool,
and line still in his mouth, and the fish
had grown to weigh ten pounds.
The fisherman looked panied at thi>
ruthless capture of his best story an'
answered: "No, sir. He weighed les
than two ounces. His vitality had q
been consumed by the line, which HI
grown to 2S feet 23s inches Of cloth

Her Tax q Cent.

Some of the individual taxes in this
city are interesting. The figures show
the existence in Savannah of Il number
of good, snug fortunes, but they do not,
as some might suppose, indicate the ex-
istence of any millionaires. If there are
such in Savannah, it does not show up
ON the tax digest There are many whose
taxes on property amount to between 20
and 80 cents; there are several as low as
or 10 cents; there are two or three
who pay the state and county 2 cents.
and there is one who pays only 1 cent
tax, This taxpayer is woman who
owns a small piece of land in the north
western part of the country, the value
of which is returned at less than 81.
According to law, if she failed to pay
this cent, the property would have to
be advertised and sold, and the legal
fees for this process would run up to
several times the value of the property
itself. News

For heavy hangs its head:
The timid flowers are shrinking
From darkness in their bed.

Like gentle angels blest,
Come softly, softly rocking
The corn and flowers to rest.
Just as the flowers are shrinking,
So timid, too, art thou,
And as the corn heads sinking,
So mods thy dear head now. m

18th, no doubt said if an artillerist in
whom Gen. Lee had confidence would
say the Federal right could be crush
ed with fifty guns he would make the
attempt.
''Iuow have the satisfaction of know
ing that the opinion which I was fore
ed to give on the 18th of September
had already been given by Jackson on
the evening of the 18th of September,
and that the same opinion was reitera-
ted by him on the 18th of September,
and confirmed by Gen. j. E. B. Stuart
on the same day, (September 1S)
II still believe that Jackson, Stuart
and myself were right, and the at
tempt to turn the Federal right on the
afternoon of September II, and also
on September 18, would have been
unwise.
"The incident shows Gen. Lee S
decision and boldness in battle, and
Gen. Jackson's delicate loyalty to his
commanding general, in convincing
him Of the inadvisability of proposed
movement, which he felt it would be
hazardous to undertake.
''The three incidents as far as they
relate to myself are correct in every
particular, the speculation as to others
may be slightly colored, but I do not
think the description overdrawn."
These incidents were most effec-
lively related by Gen. Stephen D. Lee,
and, to my knowledge, have never be-
fore been made public.

In the Line OF Reform.

Those who contemplate the grow
ing of cotton this year should begin
at once the work of reform in their
plans and methods. Commence with
out delay on the line of improving
your land and the cotton plant. Mr..
j. B. Wilson, a Mississippi planter,
states that in 1894, an ideal year for
cotton raising, he made 300 bales Of
cotton on 300 acres with six mules !;
in 1895, very wet year, on the same
number Of acres, he made 237 bales
with eight mules in 1896, a very dry
year, he made 257 bales with eight
mules.
1t will be observed that the yield
per mule varied each year, and that
the cost of production was increased
as the yield decreased.
The cotton grower should have in
view from the beginning the lessening
of the cost of production, and should
work Systematically and Increasingly
to that end.
The thorough pulvcrization and
fertilizing of the soil should lead to
an intensive system of culture that
would secure the results from one
acre that the old method requires two
acres to obtain. Why use eight mules
to grow 257 bales of cotton when six
mules can enable you to grow 300
bales.
Cotton growers should be unit in
establishing as the basis of their ef-
fort that in future their aim will be
not so much the production of large
crop Of cotton as the increase of the
yield per acre at the least possible
cost. The time has come when the
cotton grower should realize something
for his labor. 1t will never be secured
without concert of action and unity of
urrose.-.Southern Cultirator.

Everything in its Place.

She is a noted housekecper, says the
Chicago Times Herald, and it is her
proud boast that she can always find
any article in her house without a
light, be the night ever so dark, and
that in case of her sudden demise no
one need blush for the condition of
any cupboard in her dwelling.
The other evening she was going out
with her husband, but it seemed rath-
er hard for them to get started. Once
she returned to turn back the rug be-
fore the parlor fire, and once to give
the cook an order. The husband
hea7ed sigh of relief as they finally
reached the pavement, but it was cut
short by his wife's exclamation:
"There, it is really I'D, and I have
on this little thin ia ct. [ must go
back and get my old tlown shawl
Look here, how many times are
you going back anyhow" demanded
her husband.
"Well, John, dear, if you insist
upon it, you may get it for me. It is
hanging on the third peg on the right
hand side of the cupboard in the back
room upstairs. y
"But that is where my things are

Five minutes later he came back
with jammed thumb and no shawl.
"Just like man." she said, and
went up to fetch it herself, returning
almost instantly with a neatly folded
garment hanging over her arm: II

said, "but I may coming back. 1

After spending a pleasant hour or
two with the friends upon whom they
had called they started to walk home,
and after they had gone block or two
she threw her shawl carelessly about
her shoulders, not without remark
as to the neatness Of her cupboards
and her ability to find things in the
dark.
AS they slowly strolled toward home
several people turned to look after
them with almost audible smiles,
causing her to say, complacently:
II do believe the people take us for
a pair of lovers, John.

"What can be the matter ?" she
asked. "To be sure, my shawl is old

by this time, and, as she followed him
into the parlor, she caught glimpse
of herself in mirror. Instead of a

Tertiary report that was made up to-

making very much more than its ex-
penses and is affordipg every expect

somewhat fewer than heretofore on
account of the chain gang. Notwith-
standing this, the balance sheet shows
up better than usual. The directors

solution from which considerable
quantities OF arsenic and several
other metallic salts may be precipitat-
ed. It is now suspected that the
breathing of arsenic and other miner
ais in finely divided state may ac-
count for the singular immunity from
epidemics enjoyed by certain indus
trial districts, such as that of st.
Etienne, and medical authorities In
those regions and elsewhere are asked
to throw upon the subject what light
they can. 1t is suggested that the
ventilating effect of the numerous
chimneys in iron-making and other
industrial centers has it's due share in
constantly driving off the vitiated air
and replacing it by fresh quantities of
pure air. It was noted that when
pestllence was raging in an English
town, an elevated and apparently sal
ubrious residential district, its inhabi-
tants migrated to low-lying and
murky parish in the adjacent town of
Bristol, where the air was black from
the smoke of the numerous chimneys,

that of the fashionable quarter over

NOTED KEY OWNED BY AMERICA.
Lafayette Sent Il to Washington When the
BastiIe Was DESTROYED.

In Mount Vernon, on the Potomac,
is preserved an important relic of the
Bastile, nothing more nor less than the
key of that old fortress of tyranny.
One hundred and six years ago the
old state prison of Paris was de-
molished by an angry mob, on the eve
of the great French revolution. This
date is often accepted as the breaking
out of the revolution. When the mob
broke into the stronghold Of despotism,
they cut off the heads of the officers
and paraded the streets with them
upon pixies, and also carrying alofi
the great key of the Bastile, says the
Philadelphia Record.
The key was placed in the hands of
the Marquis de Lafayette, Comman-
der-in- Chief of the National Guard of
France. In March of the next year
Lafayette forwarded it to Thomas
Paine in London, to be sent as pres
ent to General Washington, together
with the neat drawing representing
the destruction of the Bastile.
Lafayette's letter to Washington
concluded with the words, "Give me
leave, my dear general, to present you
with picture of the Bastile just as it
looked few days after 1 ordered its
demolition, with the main key of the
fortress of despotism. 1t is tribute
which / owe as q son to my adopted
father, as an aide-de camp to my gen.
eral, as missionary of liberty to its
patriarch.
Not less felicitous was the comment
of Paine in forwarding the packet:
4'That the principles of America
opened the Bastile is not to be doubted,
and therefore the key comes to TIE
right place."
The key of the Bastile is preserved
in glass case. 1t hangs in the main
hall at Mount Vernon, in the same
position where it was placed by Wash
ington. Opposite to it hung the spy
glass which Washington used through.
out the Revolutionary War.
