The Pen.

The pen! The embodiment of frailty
and strength! So delicate that it re-
spends to the slightest touch, leaving
in its trail even the pictures of the va
rious moods of the writer. What ten
derness and delicacy are portrayed in
the letter of sympathy and comfort!
What brilliance and citation in the mes
sage of hope and joy! And in the mes
sage of anger what vehemence is eX-
pressed in the vicious thrusts which it
made in blowing its way across its
page! Like the sunlight, its influence
is felt in every work in the world.
broken hearts, scattered fortunes,
ruined beautiful homes, wrecked noble
lives, crowned fools, hurled the mes
sage of death and dishonor at Gods
greatest souls, and clothed in purple
and fine linen hell's blacklist villains
But it can also be mercifnl and just.
1t has scattered joy and sunshine over
desolate hearts. coaXed roses to bloom
on faded cheeks, changed hate to love,
despair to hope, warmed the worn and
weary features of the anxious mother
into smile of love and gladness; filed
the widows Golfers with an overlooking
plenty, upheld truth, exposed viilainy,
preserved record of its own misdeeds
and caused flowers to grow on the
graves of its murdered great ones. 1t
has embalmed the wisdom of the sages
of old, that we may obtain a glimpse
of the inner lives of the fathers of the
race. Earth's grandest poems, sweet
est songs, noblest words, and sublimest
thoughts it preserves and keeps for
man; and through it one may live
through all the ages of the past, wit
ness scenes of blood and cruelty, suf-
fering, treachery, malice; acts of love
and mercy, staunchness, heroism,
bravery; the rise and fall of nations,
empires and kingdoms. Through the
pen must we gather strength and wis
dom from the worlds heroes and sages.
and in looking upon the crimes and
mistakes of past civilizations, we may
avoid their pitfalls, and hasten the adj
vent of Gods city on earth, the reign
of peace and plenty, truth, love, and
justice throughout the future ages.

A Giant Boy,

The biggest boy for his age in the
whole world lives at Oxford, Warren
county, N. J. His name is Edward
Scharrer, he is sixteen years old, and
his height is already feet 215 inches
without his shoes. If he should keep
on growing at the ordinary rate from
now until he is 20 years old he would
then be over seven feet in height. He
himself believes that when he reaches
that age he Will stand fully seven feet
four inches.
1t is usually the case when phenom-
email growth takes place in childhood
that the subject is physically weak
ling. The tremendous strain upon
the vitality resulting from such unus-
ual growth generally enfeebles the en-
tire system; it amounts to a disease,
and is so regarded by physicians.
Scharrer, however, has never seen
sick day in all his 16 years. He is as
strong and healthy as young animal,
and has an appetite commensurate to
his size. Just at present he weighs 100
pounds, and is gaining at the rate of
about a pound a week. He is not at all
ill-proportioned, and it is only in the
boyishness of his face that his lack of
years is noticeable. He has the stride
and carriage usual in a man at the age
at which such height and weight are
not extraordinary.
This phenomenon in the way of
growth is the youngest of family of
eight children. Every one of his
brothers and sisters are of good height
perfectly formed, bright and healthy.
None of them have developed any
signs of anything abnormal, and they
look upon their big brother with as
much establishment as is felt by stran-
gers.
This extraordinary youth is, to his
fathers qualification, well fitted to per-
form the work of stout farmland in
every particular. There is no one in
the neighborhood who can beat him
pitching hay, and when it comes to
breaking horse, his strength makes
him master hand. In fact, most of
the tasks that are considered onerous
because of the strength required to per-
form them are child's play to this over
grown boy.
Ordinarily boys who grow up in this
way feel abashed at their own bigness
and rather ill at ease, but young Schar-
rer says that the only sensation which
has impressed itself upon him in any
way is surprise.
Even as a baby he was unusually |
large; by the time he had reached the
age of five years he was tall and well !

formed as the ordinary boy of eight,
and at ten he had attained the growth
and the general appearance of boy of
sixteen.
Mentally he is all that could be ex-
pected of boy of his age. He is a
good student, and has made the most
of his rather limited opportunities for
education.
He says, indeed, that he proposes to
educate himself according to his size
and, if he should do this, there is no
question of his becoming a learned
man.
The question of a calling in life is
not bothering Scharrer at all. He says
he was born farmer and n farmer he
will remain. Nothing else has any at
traction for him whatever; he seems to
have an Unborn love for the soil.
Various efforts have been made to
induce the boy to become a museum
attraction, but, quite apart from the
fact that his parents object, he is him
self strongly opposed to anything, of
the sort. 81 don't know" he said, ''why
1 should exhibit myself to other peo-
pie. Just because I have grown more

one came out, and while 1 looked I'll
be hanged if there wasn't a continual
stream of bees going in and coming out
of the hole. Well, didn't exactly like
to pick up the hat and risk being stung
to death. So concluded to get astick

though, for the bees kept On coming
and going in steady stream. Finally
1 called one of my men and explained
the situation. He went off and short
ly returned with wad of cotton bat

smoked the bees out of the country.

Diarrhoea and It's Causes.

Having seen, under the above head

there are several causes of diarrhoea,

London. The cause, whatever it may
be, only requires to be removed, and
diligent search should be made for it,
before any good can be accomplished.
In the first place, if your runs are kept

Saeacity Of the Walrus.


Z 1t is an evidence of the extreme
sagacity of the walrus that it is rare
ly caught unawares. When herds are
sleeping on ice-floes there is always at
least one on the watch, ready to give
the alarm at the approach of danger;
and, when this is given, not many mo-
ments elapse ere the whole herd have
tumbled into the water.
When out of the water they are very
clumsy and cumbersome in their move
ments, but in the water their agility is
truly surprising for animals of such an
unwieldy shape. The Simultaneous
ness with which they dive and reap
pear again is remarkable. One moment
you may see hundred glistening
heads with long cleaning white tusks,
another moment hundred brown
backs, and the next a hundred pair of
hind hippers, and then all are out of
sight.

Eggs Preserved In Clay.

Of Chinese preserved eggs for the Am

Mersch in Farm Poultry. "Those Won
derful eggs," said my. friend, Mr.. Doyle,
the steward of the Waldorf, at which Ii
stopped during his sojourn in New
York, "are not so bad after all. Here
is one of them," he said to me, know
ing that I would be interested in it,
showing me what looked like a piece of
pummice stone, but was an egg en-
cased in clay, which was given me by
one Of the cooks, and may be a century
old for aught I know. This is pre-
served hens egg. The process of keep
ing them is very primitive and simple.
yet very effective. This is the way it
is done: First the eggs are boiled hard;
then while they are hot they are wrap
ped in soft clay and packed away. They
will keep forever. They were brought
here in bags packed in rice husk, some
of which you see still clings to the
clay. These eggs are almost black, and
the yolks are green. They chop them
very fine and decorate most of their
viands with them, and they enter large
ly into all their sauces. The duck eggs
are from the Pekin and Muscovy
breeds. They are first boiled, then pre-
served in paste of charcoal which
hardens about them. These duck eggs
are opened, split in halves and served
in the shell, and as old as the eggs
are, I assure you that they are de-
licious" I don't perfectly understand
the difference in preserving hens eggs
and ducks eggs; but I mean to try an
experiment on them this season, and
will report my experience.

SLICK SCHOONER, ABLE sklPP

Sight on the River That Won the Ad-
mlration of South Street Louneers.
From New York Sun: There are
fashions in painting ships bottoms as
in everything else. In recent years a
pink shade has been thought the prop
er thing, but in some cases green looks
slicker still. The other day the South
street loungers looked admiringly at a.
big schooner coming down the East
river, and looming up all the bigger
b cause she was light. She was white
Dove the water line. Below she was
painted clear, lightish green, and she
was high enough out of water to show
a good bit of it. Her masts were
scraped bright and her mastheads we're
painted white. She carried a boat on
, davits across the stern, and this boat
was painted white and green, too Take
it altogether, she looked as trim and
handsome as a big schooner could look.
But admiration for the schooner
could not lessen the pleasure the loung--
ers felt in the way in which she was
handled by the big tug alongside of her.
The captain of the tug halted with her
just off the slip, and Slowed her round.
and then took her into the slip. She
was good big schooner, 400 tons or
so, but the captain of the tug laid her
alongside the wharf SO gently and cas-
lily that you couldn't tell when she
touched it; there was nothing to do
but hand her lines over the side. The
tug lay just beyond her in the slip. her
dark, bronzed copper dripping and glis-
tening as she rolled and lifted slightly
in the water. The schooner, before.
| she had all her lines made fast, sagged
| off little with the tide. and then the
capital nof the tug pushed her again as
easily and as gently as before Then
when she was all made fast the captain
| of the schooner on his quarter deck and
the captain of the tug in his pilot house
saluted each other. And the captain of
the tug rang her out of the slip and
pointed her down the river and pulled

white people were impatiently waiting.
He addressed them and used a white
mans excuse for charging an admission
fee to the green-corn dance. He said
that times were bad. Then, by way
Of extenuation, so far as he was con-
cerned, he added that the hard times
had not affected him, as he had as
much as he ever had but he wanted to-
help the dancers. La Fort then sold
tickets at a window, which young
Brave took up at the door.
The side walls and ceiling of the
Council House are of oiled matched
pine. Two chandeliers hang from the
ceiling, each having three globes COL
ored red, white and blue respectively,
probably conceit of the government
agent. On the floor and around the
long room are double rows Of benches
painted yellow. The spectators at the
dance completely filled these benches.
To see the dance there were men, wo-
men and children. Just as the dance
was about to begin the bell at the In
dian church, not far away, rang, call
ing the Christians to Sunday school,
and Chief Tom Lyon, the head singer
at the dances, remarked that the Chris
tian Indians seldom came to the So
called pagan ceremonies.
Three young Indians took seats on a
low bench in the center of the room.
The dancers formed circle around
them. They were dressed in their US
| ual fantastic costumes. The men on
the bench began to beat their rattles
made of mud turtle shells, and one OF
them tapped kettledrum. Soon to
this was added the accompaniment OF
the stamping of one foot and the sing
ing of the war song. All this was be-
gun lightly and SLOWLY and the vol
ume gradually increased, when sud-
