Quite q Difference,

All disciples of Izaak Walton will
appreciate the story which is going the
rounds. concerning MIR. Andrew Lang,
the English critic and essayist. An ex-
change publishes the anecdote which one
of Mr.. Lang's literary friends tells:
1t happened to me to spend few
days last summer in an English village.
Having noticed a pleasant river, which
seemed to promise excellent fishing, I
spoke of it to my landlady.
"Oh, yes, sir" she said, "there is
very good fishing here-many people
come here for fishing"
What kind of people come here?"
] asked.
Literary gentlemen come here very
often, sir. We had Mr.. Andrew Lang
staying here"
ooh, really! does he fish? Is he q
good fisherman?"
Eyes, sir; he fishes beautifully"
Really! Does he catch much?"
"Oh, no, sir, he never catches any.

Digging OIL from the Ground.

Not all Americans know it, but pc
troleum was produced in Scotland long
before it was found in the United States.
In Scotland it is got from shale rock,
and is not found in a liquid state at all.
For many years the mining and refining
Of this shale was vast industry. 1t is
still Important, but as American re-
fined oil can be sold cheaper in Scotland
than the product of that country, there
has been great falling off Of the Scot
fish product. The Scotch shals is
black, and is found 400 feet below the
surface in a region known as the oil
fields Of West Calder, between Edin-
burgh and Glasgow. Paraffin wax,
ammonia and lubricating oil, in addi-
ton to illuminating oil, are made from
the crude oil or tar that is got from the
shale by crushing News.

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


Of course you've heard of the GU
big Muddy" how the sudden. treach-
erous mountain waters roll down in
mighty floods from Montana and Wy
oming, ricochet from side to side Of the
broad valley they have eaten deep into
the soft prairies and pour headlong into
the Mississippi near st. Louis; how,
night and day, winter and summer, the
cuts it's banks, undermines 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 Ne
braska farmer whose land stretches
along the river goes to bed thinking he
will cut his broad acres of golden
night, that madcap river has entered
his waving fields, and like snow they
have melted away. Grain, fences, trees,
buildings. land-are gone! And a
great, sullen, yellow flood boils and ed
dies where his harvest smiled yester-
day.
Next week, very likely, the reckless
stream will make his neighbor across
the river a present Of 100 or more acres,
just because he doesn't need them. OF
course it was natural for a man who
lost his land that way to look longingly
across the river, and think, after awhile,
that the newly-made land over there be-
longed to him; and many a wearisome
lawsuit has been begun to recover title
to made" land which lies, maybe, ex-
actly where the lost farm lay, but on the
other side Of the river. Perhaps there
is some equity in such a 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 FRANKS;
that land acquired by accretion-mark
that word-should belong to the farmer
who owned the river bank where they
we're 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 another for it.-Frank II. Spear

church, and, strange to say, seemed IN
high spirits on his return. And on Mon
day morning he put on his old clothes
again and went to work with his usual
energy and good will.
During the week Farmer Larkins, re-
puted the richest man in the county,
rode up to the Biggs farm to arrange
for the purchase of some mich cows.
While he was talking with Dams father
the boy passed by and touched his hat
respectfully to the great man.
That's good lad you have there"
said Mr.. Larkins, looking after him /;
"he was over to our church Sunday, an
set in our pew; an Sally lowed as he
was the best-behaved young man at
the meetin'." ...,..
Mr.. Biggs Redeemed with pleasure at
this praise from so high an authority.
Dams rare worker" he said, IAN
I'm payin' him half wages now for TAX
in the hired mans place. He'll make
right smart farmer one o. these days"
YES" replied Mr.. Larkin, thought
fully; ''he has likely look. I wish
his gray nag and rode slowly away.
The next Sunday there was no oppo-
sition to Dams driving the bay mare
to the Larkinsville church, and Mrs.
Biggs was really proud Of her boy as
she watched him drive away, so spruce
ly dressed in his new clothes. 1t was
nearly dark when he returned, but no
one questioned him, and he made no
explanation as to what had detained
him. 49,.
And so the summer passed away, and
Sunday became Dams day off. Some
times he would not return until the
family was in bed, and his father and
mother spoke to each other anxiously
about his "carryin's on" and feared his
bad habits We're growing on him. But
Dams newly-developed stubbornness
restrained them from demonstrating
seriously.

Wanted a Very Dry Grave.

A romantic lady, whose husband had
just died, begged her brother-in-law
(who was arranging everything for the
funeral) to see that the deceased was
put into very dry grave, as he had so
strongly objected to dampness in his
lifetime. When she visited the spot at
the Norwood cemetery a few days after
it was pouring with rain, and the drips
from the trees made persistent mois-
,ure all around the newly-made grave.
She looked up with tears in her eyes
and said: 80, Charles, why have you
placed him here? See how damp AMI
dreadful his grave is" The poor man
for the moment was utterly nonplussed;
at last a happy inspiration came to him,
and he answered.: "Well, but look what
a splendid view he has of the Crysta
paiace!" 1t was too much for the risibls
faculties of even the bereavcd one.-.

Till spicy scents float all about
Where'er the wind may choose to blow,

That sparkle on their slender stems,
For snowy petals-gold and blue,

Give impulse to our quickening feet,

Along the lofty paths Of snow,
And bear to earth spring treasures sweet

''Oh, you got it over to Blodgett's
store. did you? How much did it cost,
Dan?
"Neyer you mind, mar" said Dan,
falling back upon his original defense.
II earned the money"
Mrs. Biggs sighed and shipped busily
away with the scissors.
''I'm glad you wasn't reckless enough
to GO to one of them barber fellows over
town." she said.
"Oh, were reckless 'nough; 'twarn't
that, mar. I clean forgot all about it."
"I'nl afraid, Danr," sighed Aunt An
mabel, "that you're gittin' into bad
ways. 1 never knew your father to
spend so much money at one time in his
life. II must "a cost a heap"
Dan was silent, and the scissors
clipped away briskly, until Mrs. Biggs
announced the job was completed to her
satisfaction.
"Now for pop" said Dan, and he put
on his coat and walked resolutely to
tho barn. His father sat upon an up
turned pail in moody reflection, and
when his son halted before him he
looked up to him and said:
"Dan, allus tried to be good father
to you. When you come 81 this spring
I let the hired man go an took you in
his place-on half wages. 'Tain't ev'ry
father would "a dono that. An when
you come to me last night an wanted
SIS made sure you was goin' to put it
in the bank. Sech thought as your
a-spendin' Of it recklessly never en-
tered my head. Whatever made you do
it, Dan-whatever made you do it?"
look here, pop; we've had bout
'nough o. this kind O. talk" said Dan,
with spirit. I've worked steady an
I've earned the money, an it's my
business. I'd got tired O. them baggy
up my mind I'd dress as Teller should
dress; an now it's did, an there's no
baclcin' out. SO you jest take it quiet
an let it pass"
"Well, WELL" said Mr.. Biggs, after a
little thought, "you never did sech a
thing afore, an 30 wen let it pass, as
you say. Mebbe it'll be a good lesson to
you"
He arose from his seat, rs if to indi-
cato that the interview was at an end,
but Dan hung around as though there
was something more he wished to say.
Finally he mustered up enough courage
to ask:
"Kin take the brown marc an the
top buggy to drive to church,"
'SThe top buggy! Air we too proud to
ride wi the rest Of us in the wagin?"
81 thought I'd go over to the Lar
kinsville church this mornin'."
"Arr why" questioned his father, in
surprise. "Ain't the church at the Cor
ners good enough for your"
"Oh, it's good 'nough. but all the best
folks go to Larkinsville."
''The rich farmers as live on the turn
pike go there" said his father, sharply,
"but you amt got no call to associate
with the Larkins an Pentons an Abb
beys. Why, they'd stick up their noses
at the son O. poor farmer like me-"
Anyhow" persisted Dan, stubborn
ly, "I'd like to Co."
'Then go!" growled the farmer;

So Dan drove over to the Iarkinsyille
