How to Examine a Watch.

To one who has never studied the
mechanism of a watch, it's handspring
or the balance wheel is a mere piece of
metal. He may have looked at the face
of the watch, and while he admires the
motions of it's hands and the time it
keeps, he may have wondered in idle
amaZement as to the character of the
machinery which is concealed within.
Take it to pieces and show bin each
part separately-he will recognize nei-
Their design nor adaptation nor relation
between them; but Put them together,
set them to work, point out the plan of
their movements, and then show him
the result. Now he perceives that it is
all M design-that, Notwithstanding
the lumber of parts, their diverse forms
and various offices and the agents con-
cerned, the whole piece is of one
thought, the expression of one idea.
He now rightly concludes that when
the handspring was fashioned and tenn
pered, it's relation to all the other parts
must have been cOnsidered; that the
cogs on this wheel were cut and regu-
lated-adapted-to the ratchets ON that.
etc; and his final conclusion will be that
such a piece of mechanism could not
have been produced by chance; for the
adaptation of the parts is such as to
show it to be according to design, and
Obedient to the will of one intelligence.

AARON BURR'S PISTOL,
It's Adventures Since 1t Gave a Fatal
Wound to Alexander Hamilton.

It's Adventures Since 1t Gave a Fatal
Wound to Alexander Hamilton.
Louis Marshall of Versailles. KY,
possesses the famous pistol with which
Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamil-
ton, says the st. Louis Post-D Dispatch.
The fatal weapon has changed hands
many times, and has had an interest
ing career. Its authenticity is unques-
tionable. Judge Van Ness, who was
Burr's second, marked the pistol and
gave it to Col. James Bowie, together
with it's mate, the Hamilton pistol. Col.
Bowie wore the pair as belt pistols,
but lost one pistol while swimming a
tayou. He afterward presented the re-
naming weapon to DR.. Carr, the SUI
perintendent of the United States
arsenal at Baltimore. DR.. Carr acted
as second to Thomas F. Marshall of
Versailles, the Kentucky orator and
statesman, in his duel with James
Watson Webb, editor of the New York
Courier and Enquirer, in which Webb
was crippled for life. DR.. Carr then
gave the Burr pistol to Mr.. Marshall,
who subsequently presented it to his
brother, Edward G.. Marshall. The lat
ter carried it through the Mexican war.
1t was stolen from him by his body
servant, but, through a miracle, was
located in the City of Mexico and re-
covered by one of his soldiers. Capt.
Marshall, before his death, gave the
pistol to his son, Louis Marshall.
Thomas f. Marshall, while it was in
his possession, had the dueling pistol
altered from a flint to a percussion
lock. 1t still shoots very accurately
and carries a two-ounce ball. It's bar
rel, which is twelve inches long, looks
more like a section of a shotgun than
anything else, while the handle is
marked twice with the tx" sign. which
meant in the palmy days of dueling
that the weapon had done fatal work.

ICE M EN-.


How the Hardy Explorers Reached This
Land Is a Mystery.
How palaeolithic man got to this
land-for it does not seem likely that
the genus homo was Indigenous here
is a question that has puzzled the
wisest; perhaps by way of Greenland,
over the bridging ice field which prob
ably connected Europe and America,
say r~Lippincott's. However, we know
that he did get here, and, as the first
wandering bands of these old hunters
came, we know, too, that they found
a land Of snow and ice, of great rivers
and many lakes. II seems probable,
from the finding of occasional imple-
ments in the older travels, that the
earliest emigrants arrived while the
glacier was at it's maximum. One un-
broken field Of ice had spread over
all the north, covering Manhattan is
land 1000 feet and reaching to within
fifty miles of Philadelphia. AS the
years passed, more bands of these
hardy explorers reached this land, and
as the second and later recessions of
the ice occurred, with accompanying
flooded rivers, 1t is likely that a fairly
dense palaeothithic population peopled
our river valleys. 1t was a long time
stree the first of their race came over
the ice; a far distant past it must have
seemed-as it truly was to these later
day men. To us the founding of Egypt
is SO far away that it seems almost
wholly mythical; but the time which
elapsed between the period of maxi
mum glaciatiou and the later days of
the epoch was possibly five times long
er. Yet this is n of the short
periods in the life history Of the in
FAINT race. Such was time in the be-
ginning.

Strange Food of the Chinese.


The opinion that the Chinese will eat
almost anything that is eatable is not
altogether wrong. 1t istalso a fact that
they sometimes eat that: which would
appear to us to be absolutely UNBEATABLE.
Ihus, a recent traveller in China tells
of two cases in which this Interesting
people had cooked and eaten animals
which had been poisoned by strychnine.
Th echronicler goes on to say: "On
n of these occasions someone was
thoughtful enough to consult a foreign
er as to the probable results; but, as
the animal was already in the pot. the
convives could not make up their minds
to forego the luxury of the feast, and
no harm appeared to come of their in
~dulgence." 1t should be said that these
strange tastes Of the Chinese are born
of necessity, not of prediction. Food
is scarce in China, and the great mass
of people ere forced to use that which
is thrown aside by people of other
lands.

Novel Experiment

A novel, and what promises to be a
hotahie experiment, is being tried in
'Shetfield, England. Children who would
otherwise be sent to the poorhouse are
divided among cottage homes. These
homes are managed in about the same
way as the homes for working people.
Each home accommodates fifteen chill
dren, and has at the head of it a work
ingman and his wife, as foster-parents,
selected by the authorities. Both boys
and girls have to assist the mother in
the housework. The other boys are
taught a trade and the girls learn dress
making, cooking and other branches of
domestic service. The homes are open
to all visitors, and the ministers of the
n~elghborhood take an active interest in
the little cottagers.

way to the island of Old Providence

then a great pirate resort.
At Old Providence Anne found a mar
who pleased her more than her sailor
in the person of Captain Rackham, a
mighty plunderer of the seas, a storm
er of cities, a slayer of men and a taker
of gold-laden Spanish galleons. Rack
ham and Anne were married, and they
put to sea in his ship on a voyage Of
blood and plumber.
There never was a crew in the world
that approved the captain taking his
wife to sea with him. Pirate crews
were no exception. Rackham did not
care to run counter to the wishes Of
his gallant crew, for pirates were a
hasty folk, and 1t was ill arguing with
them. So Anne went on board her hus-
bands ship disguised as a cabin boy.
On board the ship she found a woman
named Mary Reed, who was disguised
as a sailor. The ship had an "eventful
voyage, and many fierce fights with
armed merchant vessels and ships of
the King which tried to take them.
The old chronicles say that in all
those engagement the two women nj
rates fought like fiends, killing many
with their W hands and encouraging
the men to all sorts of horrible deeds.
At last there came along one of The
Kings ships too strong for Captain
Rackham to fight with successfully and
too swift for her to flee from. 1t was an
English frigate, and she at once gave
battle to the saucy pirate. A storm
of grape and canister swept the decks
of the pirate ship, and the crew in
terror ran below. Anne Bonny and
Mary Reed, so far from leaving the
deck, waved their cutlasses in the faces
of the enemy and cursed them. Mary
Reed, drawing her pistol, fired into the
men who were huddled below, killing
n and wounding others. The ship OF
the wicked Rackham was TAKEN, n
those left alive on board of her were
tried for piracy. Anne Benny and
Mary Reed, though they had exposed
themselves so recklessly in the night
were taken alive and carried to Eng
land to be tried. At the trial Doth were
found guilty and sentenced to be
hanged, Anne, however, was reprleved

Sight Returned for a Day.

Isaac Black, a farmer living south of
Anderson, Ind, who has been blind
for years, has just passed through an
experience which is attracting the at
tention of local medical men and sur
geons. The first of the past week his
eye-sockets and sightless orbs began to
get sore. Thursday morning he open
ed his ayes to find that sight had fully
returned. The joy almost overcame
him. He had prayed for years to be
able to see his family and the sur
roundings of his home, and it seemed
as though his prayers were answered.
But gradually the next day the sight
left him, and again he is in total dark
ness. Oculists can give him but little
hope of seeing again.

DEMAND WHEAT
Reasons Why There Is a Good Market

Reasons Why There Is a Good Market
In Australia.
n reason why SO large a quantity
OF American wheat was imported into
Australia last year Is explained by
Daniel w. Maratta, United States con-
sul-general at Melbourne, says the New
York Times. 1t appears that wool
growing is regarded by Australians as
much the most important industry,
n In pursuing that the Australian
FARMER is often led to neglect the culti-
vatlon of WHEAT. AS a rule. the larger
"squatters," or ranchmen, do not care
10 devote their time to farming, pre-
ferring to give all of their attention to
sheep raising. 1.-THE consumption of
n in this colony writes Consul
Maratta. sis at the rate of six bushels
TO the acre, and as the crop of last
year only yielded four and two-tenths
ushels to the acre, it will readily be
seer that the colonists were short of
their requirements nearly two bushels
TO the acre. To meet this deficiency,
the nrst for a great many years, large
imports were made from the United
States. These shipments were made
from a Francisco, with the exception
OF n or two vessels from New York"
1t is becoming a common custom
among Australian ranchmen to rent
their land for wheat-growing on shares,
the ranchmen furnishing the land and
the seed and some neighboring farmer
doing all the work. AS the wool-grow-
ing industry. however, is constantly
tending to crowd out the wheat culti-
Walton, there is a prospect that in
creased demands upon America for
wheat supplies will be made in the flu
ture. Mr.. Maratta says: at has been
how it is that Australia can
produce wool, and, for hat matter,
sheep, so much more cheaply than
America, and the answer, too, is very
simple. First, the advantage lies in
the climate. Here you have a climate
where the sheep can and do safely
spend every night during the year in
the open air and without covering.
Then the pasturage is unlimited and
virtually free. The cost of labor is
cheaper than with us, and station liv-
iEg is cheaper, and all these things
combine to cheaper the animal. You
can purchase at a retail butchers here
in Melbourne prime lamb and mutton
at from 5 to 6 cents per pound
