A weatbercock Made by Paul Revere.

In taking down the steeple of the old
Methodist church in Watertown, which
the Young Mems Catholic association is
remodeling for its use, the historic old
weathercock on top of the steeple had to
be removed. He is az feet high, with
a pewter body and copper tail, and is
said to have been made by Paul Revere
when about 20 years old. 1t is said that
the weathercock was originally placed,
in 1905, on the old church building
that was demolished in 1887. There is
some dispute about his ownership the
Unitarians claiming that he was s-s"ply
loaned to the Methodists when the lat
ter built their church in lS47, while the
Methodists claim that they bought him
from the town. He will probably be
presented to the Watertown Historical
society. Boston Trapscript

THE FIRST LIGHTHOUSES.
They Were an Outgrowth of tho Beacon
Fires ON Headlands.


Fires ON Headlands.
Lieutenant John Nj. Ellicott, u. S.
NJ, writes for ST. Nicholas paper on
lighthouses, entitled, 1.-THE Lights That
Guide In the Night" Lieutenant Eli
colt says:
When ships are sailing upon the ocean
the lights of heaven are their guides.
Even in the dark ages, when the com
pass and sextant were unknown instru-
ments, the seemingly motionless pole
star hung like beacon light in the
northern heavens, and the rising and
setting of the sun and stars distin-
guished the east from the west. When,
however, ships come near the land, the
lights Of heaven are not sufficiently
safe to guide them. Rocks lie i'll their
paths, unseen i'll the night, reefs and
shoals spread under the water, while
unsupported currents sweep the frail
craft all blindly upon these dangers.
Nevertheless, ships were sailed along
dangerous coasts for centuries before
plain system Of marking dangerous
places was invented. The early mar
iners were bcld and reckless rovers,
more than half pirates, who seldom
owned Il rood of the coasts along which
they sailed, and could not have estab-
lished lights and landmarks on them
had they cared to do so. The rude be-
ginning, then, of Il system of lighthouses
was when the merchants with whom
the recl less mariners traded IL those
dark ages built beacous near the barber
mouths to guide the ships into Port hy
day aud lighted fires fer their guidance
at night. AS such harbor guide had to
be a sure landmark in the daytime and
light by night, it soon took on set
tied shape-a tower Cn which could be
built fire, and such tower was usual
IL built of stone.
This method Ct guiding ships into
the ports which they sought was scarce
~ established before human wickedncss
used it as a means for their destruction.
Bands of robbers, or, as they came to
be called, "wreckers," would hide
themselves somewhere near the haven
sought by richly laden vessel, and
after overpowering the fire keepers
would extinguish the beacon fire on the
night OH which the ship was expected
Then they would light another fire neal
some treacherous reef. The mariner
sailing boldly toward the false light
would dash his vessel to destruction Oh
the reef, whereupon the robber bant
would plumber the wreck and make OF
with the booty.

LiOness aud Puppy.

Here is a tale of strange animal
friendship told by writer in recent
issue of The Westminster Gazette. The
story is unique. According to the writer,
"a lioness that was kept in captivity Ill
Somaliland adopted bull terrier There
were several bull terrier puppies near
the place where she was confined, and
once in awhile the little fellows would
come close to the cage. Then she would
snarl, and the puppies would scamper
back, but there was one that seemed to
have the good will of the lionness, for
one day when he approached the cage,
instead of growing, she showed signs
of pleasure.
The puppy was encouraged, and after
blinking at the lioness he walked boldly
in. To the surprise of the keeper, who
was expecting to see the puppy quickly
killed, the lioness stretched out her
huge paw and gently drew the dog IN.
The little fellow was delighted with his
reception, and he snuggled into her
warm fur and has remained with her
ever since. The curious thing is that
the lioness will have nothing to do with
the other puppies. If they come to the
cage to see how their little brother is
getting along, she growls at them III
tones SO loud and menacing that they
are frightened off. Meanwhile the
adopted puppy is treated by the lioness
lust as if he were cub of her own.

Our Foreign Trade.

The coming of the influential delegation
of Spanish American business men will
be an suspicious event. The country Is
in mood to give them hearty reception
and to make our market the most attrac-
tive I'm the world for them. The proposed
new tariff will contain concessions for re-
ciprocal trade. Europe and Spanish Am
erica will increasingly trade with us un'
der the aggressive push which stirs our
manufacturers and business men. Great
Britain is buying wagons in this market
for South African service. Consul Jingle
of Brunswick, Germany, shows big mar
ket in that country for American boots
and shoes, which are conceded to be the
best and cheapest in the world. And
American business men are taking the
proper course to get the lions share Oh the

A CHlLD'S FRANCES.
While In Them She Sees and Hears Things
That Puzzle People.

Tillie Faith, the 11-year-old daugh-
ter of d. T. Faith, who lapses into
frances and when she RECEIVERS tells the
msot interesting stories of heaven, is
the reigning sensation in White TowI-
ship, Clearfield county, Pa.
The child has been i'll nearly year.
Her affliction has thus far puzzled ev-
cry doctor who has visited her. Though
sick, no true diagnosis of her case can
be made.
She will remain for hours in a trance
like condition, and when recovered will
assert that in spirit she has visited
heaven. Her story seems to bear out
her statement.
She has described accurately the way
her mother, who died eight years ago,
was arrayed for burial, although the
child did not see her dead parent be-
fore the funeral. Title said she saw
her mother in heaven. She also de-
scribed a brother who died before she
was born, and the description was so
perfect that the bewildered father is
not only perplexed, but considerably
frightened. Hundreds of neighbors
have visited the home of the little girl
and conversed with her, and to all the
questions asked she has given remark
ably accurate replies. - Philadelphia

THE OLD TREE.

Nave not so sadly I'm the wind.
luOu Old and lcafless tree
Nor sob that summer nevermore
Can beauty bring TO thee,
That but desolation thou
Must stand upon the lea. e.

Long years We're at thy heart.
Thou gavst through many a summer
space
Grand images to art.
Old tree. thou acted st gloriouSly
Within the world thy part.
Then sigh not such a mournful dirge.
Yet If thy voice must be
Like anthems let the undertone
BE breathed eXultingly,
For thine was not a wasted life,
Magnificent old tree!
Man, white haired man, If thou hast done
Bravely I'm life thy part,
If true humanity has made
It's music i'm thy heart,
Say why should'st thou at deaths cold
In grief and terror start?
oh, stand beside the grand old tree,
And, gazing on its dim,
Scared trunk, lift bravely up
Thy last but fearless hymn,
For thou hast noby done thy part
What more can cherubim?

BAND DISLIKES THE TRIP.
The Queens Jubilee Has No Charms For
the BrookIyn's Musicians.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard band, under
the leadership of John Savasta, has been
ordered to the cruiser Brooklyn to attend
the queens jubilee. Several of the bands
men have addressed a communication to
the secretary of the navy asking for their
discharge from the service on the ground
that the trip will be too great an expense.
Il am continuous service man and
entitled to remain at the navy yard" said
one of the musicians, who has been in the
navy 40 years, "and although don't like
the IDEA of being sent to sea, / will go. L
am not one of the signers of the protest.
eve first class musicians are paid $32
month, and we enlist for year at u time,
with the general understanding that we are
not TO be sent away. Most of us are mar
ried, and, of course our pay could not keep
our families. We all live ashore and earn
money outside by playing. Some of us
earn $40 and $50 month in this way
"Now, if we are to be sent away for six
weeks or two months, we will lose our
outside earnings and probably lose our
engagements on shore. That is what Is
meant by the objection against going to
England.
The band will go on board the Brook
Ign on Juno l, and, it is believed, other
bandsmcn will be enlisted to increase the
numerical strength of the organization.

CHASED IN AN ENGINE.
How n Chief of Police 0verhauled a Band
of Thieves.

For three months northern New York
has been afflicted by many burglaries
north of Syracuse and in that city. The
robberies have been along the line of the
Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg rail
road. Early yesterday morning the freight
depot in Gouverneur, n. Y, was broken
into and u quantity of shoes, provisions
and liquor was stolen.
When the depot was opened, the loss
was discovered and the police were mott
fed. At about noon they found an old
man in box car in the upper yard. He
was very sick and had been abandond by
his companions. Later, while the train
on the Gouverneur and Oswegatchie rail
road was at Hailesboro Baggage Agent
Lille saw four suspicious characters cross
ing the tracks toward an empty car.
The Gouverneur police were notified
There was no train, but Chief Harder is a
man of many resources. The through
Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg freight
had Just pulled into the station, and the
chief got the engineer to uncouple and
carry him and two officers up on G and
O. tender. The trip was record breaker,
and the police arrived in time to catch the
gang, with evidence in their possession.

THEY SAW HIS HEART.
Remarkable Surgical Operation Performed

Remarkable Surgical Operation Performed
at st. Louis.
James wilkins heart was exposed to
the view Of 200 members of the Mis-
souri, and Illinois State Medical So
cieties at the City hospital in st. Louis
recently. 1t was during an unusual sur
gical operation performed by the super
intendent, DR.. Otto Suffer, assisted by
DR.. A. r. Reder and DR.. John Dean.
wilkins is 20 years old and had been
in the hospital for three weeks. He had
had a severe attack of pneumonia, and,
according to all presidents, should have
recovered. But he kept growing weak
er and weaker. The pulsations of his
heart grew so feeble that they could
scarcely be distinguished. DR.. Suffer
came to the conclusion that the heart
sac was clogged with pus that had
formed as result Of the disease. Pneu-
monia frequently so affects the lung
cavity, but DR.. Suffer says he never be-
fore knew that it left pus in the heart.
A three inch section of the fifth rib
over the heart was removed, and the
heart sac was left exposed to view. An
incision was made, and fully quart
of pus exuded. Almost at once the heart
began to beat at its normal rate. A
drainage tube was inserted and the
wound sewed up. wilkins stood the OPP
Grafton well, and DIR. Suffer says he
should recover without further trouble.

WILL TYPEWRlTE CHINESE.
An Ingenious Machine Invented by a Mis-

An Ingenious Machine Invented by n Mia
sionary at Tung Chow.
The Rev. Mr.. Sheffield, Presbyteri.
IN missionary at Tung Chow, has in
vented a Chinese typewriter which is
said to be very remarkable machine
and is exciting a great deal of com.
ment over there. He made the model
himself, but sent the parts to factory
at Hartford, where they were made in
metal and put together. 1t turns out to
be great success and will relieve both
the foreigners and the native Chinese
from the necessity of using paint brush
and pot of ink in conducting their
correspondence.
As near as can be understood from the
description published in the Chinese pa.
pers, the characters, about 1000 in
number, are on the edges of wheels
about foot in diameter 1t requires 30
or 30 wheels to carry all the letters,
and the operator must strike two keys
to make an impression. The first key
turns the wheel and the second stops it
at the letter wanted, which is brought
down upon the paper by an ingenious
device. Although the machine is com.
plicated, it shows remarkable degree
of ingenuity and skill, and DR.. Sheffield
hopes to make many improvements in
the way of simplicity.
The difficulty of his task and the
wonder of his invention may be recog-
nized when it is known that there are
$4,000 characters in the Chinese Ian
guage, each one of them representing a
distinct word. There are between 1900
and 5000 in common use, which he has
selected and placed upon his typewriter.
The newspaper vocabulary of China in
wolves fully that number of characters,
but the peasants do not make use OF
more than 500 characters. Chicago

PROSPEROUS TASMANIA.
An Onhcial of the Island Talks Of Its
Great Resources.

Great Resources.
The attorney general OF Tasmania,
A. Inglis Clarke, who has just arrived
In America, has many interesting things
TO say concerning that far land of his.
Tasmania, he remarked recently, lis,
as you know, an island by itself, sepa-
rated FROM the rest of Australia by
channel that requires about "a hour
sail to cross. it is politically one Of the
seven Australasian colonies, having
nominal governor appointed by the
crown, but representative government

The country has delightful eli
mate and an abundance of resources.
Our sheep are noted for their high
grade, and we supply the other colonies
with rams that probably have no equals
We have also good producing gold, sill
yer, copper and tin mines. In the pro-
duction Of fruits we lead in that part
Of the world, growing especially fine
strawberries and apples, England being
a heavy buyer of the latter crop.
"All the colonies have been under
going a period of depression in business
that has been felt acutely, but the
times are mending and the outlook now
is much better. As to the question of
separation from England and political
independence for Australia, all / have
to say is that this will come about
whenever we are strong enough. That
time has not yet arrived, but Of ulti-
mate independence there is no room for
doubt. "-Exchange.

A BABY WONDER.
At the Age of Three Months She Talks
Like "a Grown Person.


Like Grown Person.
Few will believe it possible for
3-months old child to talk. However,
such is the case, and any one can verify
the truthfulness of this statement with
very little trouble.
The parents of the child are Richard
and frankie Cleveland, colored, living
at II Short street, Nashville, and the
child has been talking since it was
week old. Hundreds have visited the
little wonder and have left the house
completely mystified at what they have
seen and heard.
The child is "a girl and differs only
from other babies in that it can talk
plainly and be understood as distinctly
as grown person. The voice, OF course,
is naturally weak, but has none OF the
baby prattle about it. In addition to the
child's talking propensities it seems to
be possessed of superior intelligence and
gives voice to utterances most astound'
ing, coming as they do from one SO
young Nashville Banner.

PHOTOGRAPHS IN COLORS.
Pictures That Show Flesh Tints and Even
Differences In Complexion.

European amateur photographers are
now experimenting extensively with the
new process of color photography. The
nature of the chemicals used is secret,
although the method is very simple.
Over 40 shades may be produced from
the three primary colors used. The
Photographic plate is developed in the
usual manner, after the color liquids
are applied. Most of the colored photo
graphs seen heretofore have been paint
ed by hand. The new automatic process
gives much finer results.
Pictures of landscapes and marine
views are very satisfactory. But the
most striking are those taken OF SOL
diers of the French army. Gorgeous
reds, blues, both light and dark, gold
buttons and laces show with great bril-
liancy. Even precious stones have been
pictured clearly by the new process. 1t
is so delicate that not only flesh tints,
but actual differences in complexion,
show. Exchange.

MUST RELEASE TIE ELK.
a Ranchman Is Required to Liberate the
Animals He Has Fed All Winter.

An opinion has just been rendered by
the attorney general of Wyoming in
novel case which probably could not arise
In any state Of the Union excepting Wyo-
ming.
During the past winter an immense
number Of elk, estimated to be over 20, 900,
came from the forests and mountains in
and around the Yellowstone National park
into the Jackson's Hole region south of
the park to winter. Food was scarce and
the snow deep, and thousands of these
animals persisted. The ranchmen of the
region were compelled TO build strong and
high corrals in order to keep the raven
ously hungry elk from breaking in and
devouring the hay put up for cattle.
On the ranch of j. A. Adams 70 elk
found their way into the corral and were
shut up and retained by Mr.. Adams, who
decided TO try and domesticate the ami
mails The game warden for the region
decided that Mr. Adams action was yio-
lation of the state game law, and ordered
him TO release the elk. Mr.. Adams re-
fused to do this and appealed to the govern
or of the state for permission to retain
his prisoners
The attorney general, in his opinion
upon the question: holds that Mr. Adams
Is violating the state law which forbids
taking deer, elk or mountain sbee by any
ptfall or trap. He holds that Mr.. A ms
corral was trap in which the elk in les
ton were taken, even if they entered it
voluntarily and were not driven in by the
owner He holds that the ownership of
hll the wild game is in the state and is
the property of the state and the action
of Mr.. Adams in holding this class of
property contrary to the demand of the
game warden is in violation of not only
| the stntutn but also tho common law
