Unloading a Ram.

The r., w. and O. depot at Wolcott
was scene of great excitement short
ly before o'clock Saturday evening,
when Ticket Agent Graves and the
train crew of No. 101 attempted to un-
load blooded merino ram, which had
been shipped there to sheep fancier.
The ram was in stout crate and
nlso in n tremendous rage. No sooner
had the crate touched the ground than
with bound the ram knocked one
end out and instantly assailed every
one in sight The crew took refuge
on the cars, while Graves bolted for
the semaphore pole. AS he placed his
hand against the pole and started to
climb the ladder the beast lunged
against the pole, catching Graves's
left hand between its head and the
heavy timber, crushing his fingers hor-
ribly.
The young man was knocked from
the pole, and in the extremity seized
the beast by the horns. Then ensued
wild scuflle between the ram on one
side and Graves and the train crew
on the other, in which Graves bore
the brunt of the conflict, being down
in the cinders with ram and train crew
on top of him most of the time.
When the ram was at last returned
to its crate it was found that, besides
having his hand crushed, Graves was
cut and bruised from head to foot, and
had his uniform nearly torn off

1t was easy to find the place, for an
elaborate cork castle" of ridiculous
proportions adorned the window, and
four stiff-legged cork men were appar-
emily making efforts to drive a score
or so of cork fowls into the castle keep.
Inside the shop the proprietor was
busily sorting new-looking corks into
little muslin bags for samples.
"These," said he, in the course of
my chat with him, "are all old corks.
and perhaps some of them have been
remade three or four times. Yes;

"These are what we call screws" he
said, leading the way to bin of old
glngcrbeer and wine bottle corks. "By
screws we mean that the corks have
been pierced by a corkscrew, which,
of course, renders them unfit for re-
making into new corks. So we put
them through a 'corking' machine,
which cuts the inside out of them,
and leaves hollow tube. The tubes
are then sliced into rings for use in
beer and gingerbeer bottles.

The Most Aged Married CounIe.

The most aged married couple in
Ohio, and probably the oldest in the
United States, is Philip Hines, aged
JOG years, and his wife, Rebekah
Hines, 96. They have resided for
many years in Brown township, Della
ware county.
Mrs. Hines Is remarkably well pre-
served woman. She is feet II inches,
weighs about 130 pounds, has deep
brown eyes, and hair well mixed with
gray, once beautiful auburn. Her
step is quick and decided and her face
is marked with absence of wrinkles
Her conversation is entertaining and
intelligent.
Philip Hines was 106 years old Au-
gust IL, 1896. He is considered the
oldest resident of the State. and be-
yond doubt the oldest husband in the
United States. He was born in Mary
land, and in early boyhood took
fancy to the boots and shoes made by
his uncle, Philip Hines, whose name
he bears. His uncle, thinking he
would make success of the trade,
taught it to him, and in a few years
he was making footgear for the stern
er sex and bellies of the neighborhood.
When in the prime of his youth he
moved to Knox county, Ohio, and
opened shop. He was the youngest
son of family of five children, and
was considered one of the most in
dustrious then in the neighborhood.
When he located in Knox county he
was surrounded by Indian camps, and
with wild beasts he came in contact
almost constantly. He made friends
with the Indians. whose favor he won.
not only for himself, but for his sweet
heart.

TUNNEL UNDER THE SEA.
Italy and Sicily are Planning u Tremend
Gus Undertaking.

Italy and Sicily are Planning Tremend-
Gus Undertaking.
tunnel between the mainland of
Italy and the island of Sicily is now
actively projected. Plans and model
complete in every detail were executed
by the Italian civil engineer, De ia
hannis, and are now on exhibition at
the University of Padua, says the
Philadelphia Record"
The principle employed by him is
that of boring in parabollc spiral lines
After thorough and careful studies
of the Strait of Messina, its
varying depths, the nature of the
ground and all other conditions
which might assist or interfere with
the success of the enterprise, De ia
hannis decided to begin his tunnel near
San Giovanni di Sanitello, at the foot
Of the Aspromonte Mountain range,
while the mouth on the other side will
be located on the plain "Degli Inglesi."
The entire tunnel will be nearly two
miles long and will consist of two
shafts of about 10000 feet each, de-
scending at a grade not exceeding 80
feet in each 1000. Such tunnel
would be much preferable to bridge,
which would have to have n span of
1880 feet and with the enormous
strength of the winds in the strait such
an attempt appears to be exceedingly
dangerous. This tunnel will cost
about $3.50, 100000, but the money has
not yet been appropriated.

TEACHING BY PHONoGRAPH.


"A ana Clever Scneme OF n new
York Professor.
Many novel projects have been de-
vised in the way of language teach
ing, but never until just lately has the
phonograph been made part of the
outfit of the linguistic professor. 1t Is
difficult at first to see how this instru-
ment can help along teaching of any
kind, but thereon hangs a tale. The
man who has adapted the phonograph
to this profession is r. d. Cortina and
he has been so successful that al
ready he has sent out over five hun
dred machines all loaded with his in
struction and primed with his voice.
His method is simple. With each
phonograh there is sent his textbook
twenty loaded cylinders and twenty
blank ones. Each lesson in the book
is arranged in the form of questions
and answers. The pupil ready to be-
gin, puts the cylinder of the first les
son in the machine, the tubes in his
ears and starts the photograph.
Keeping his eye on the book he hears
the words and phrases repeated, with
their proper accent, just as if the pro-
fessor stood at his side. There is an
additional advantage that the lesson
can be repeated twenty or a hundred
time, if necessary, until every sound is
familiar to the pupil.
Then after having thoroughly
learned these sentences, he puts one
of the unused cylinders in the ma
chine and repeats the lesson. In q
little paper box the cylinder goes back
to New York, and at his earliest op-
portunity Mr.. Cortina pops it into his
own machine.
AT his side is the stenographer. As
he listens to the lesson, repeated back,
now stopping the phonograph now
starting it going again, he dictates his
criticism, where the pronunciation is
wrong, what is right, what the mis-
takes are and where they have been
made.
The letter and the cylinder go back
to the pupil, who reads and listens to
his own voice reproduced. Then,
taking up the original cylinder once
more, he is able to tell just where the
difference lies.
