A piece of cable recently found in a

with Thomas Paine. the great COM

spending the summer Of 1856 at the

idea was suggested to him by the
mechanism Of a spider web. and he be-

bridge to span the river at that point.

Academy Of Science. Paine went 70
France in 1887. but that country was
already on the road to revolution. and
had NO time for the study of bridges.
In England Paine forgot his scientific

WASHINGTON AS a SENTINEL

lieyr . starving Soldier.


William Pcrrine gives graphic pict-
ure of Washington's memorable win
ter of suffering at Valley Forge in the
December Ladies' Home Journal.
"Sentineis pacing in the snow on the
outposts took OF their caps and stood
in them to save their feet from freez-

he found even officers in u sort Of
dressing-gown made of old wooien
bed-coyers. The stouthearted women
of New jersey sent their quilted
clothes as Christmas presents, with
the patriotic jest that as women were
said sometimes to wear the trousers.
so now there would be an excuse for
men who might wear the petticoats.
Washington, who never exaggerated.
said that few men had more than one
shirt, many only half one. and some
none at all. Nearly three thousand
men were barefooted. and occasionally
might be seen soldier who was all
but naked Sometimes there was
nothing TO eat in the camp but rotten
salted herrings. Men We're known to
snatch at the dough Of half-baked
cakes in the kitchens OF the farmers
wives. The contractors and the COM
missary agents and the Continental
Congress had brought twelve thou
sand men to the verge OF starvation.
and the blood of General Wayne ran
hot with rage as he looked on his poor
fellows weak with hunger. Indeed.
there was but one horn tumbler and
also but one wooden dish for every
mess. Washington himself dined one
day on potatoes and hickory nuts.
My good man. he said to the sentinel
in front of his headquarters. pacing
up and down in the bitterness Of
cold morning. have you had anything
TO eat" No, SIR was the reply.
Give me your musket, then, and go in

tall commander gravely walked mp

The great drawback in Porto Rico Is
a lack OF roads. There is only one
good road on the island, and that is
the military road extending from San
Juan to Ponce. distance of about so
miles. This road is described as a
marvel OF engineering skill and one OF
the best roads to be found In the world
Other parts of the island are traversed
by bride paths or narrow roads in
miserable condition. The telegraph

COW AND BEAR.

A man who was brought up on =
farm In Cherryfeld, Maine. recently
| told a reporter for the New York Sun
several stories illustrative of the cour-
| age OF animals in defending their
young. One OF the best OF the stories
has 10 do with a time when the boy was
twelve years old. II his youthfuiness is
| taken into the account. the adventure
will be seen TO have been pretty live
ly one.
One OF our cows had hidden her calf.
and ! had set ou; to find him. / heard
the COW lowing in the woods and went

up with ferns and raspberry bushes
Above the bushes | saw her back and
horns. and could tell that she was fight

thought OF nothing bigger than a
dog or fox. and was pressing forward
TO get a look at II. when a bear sud
denly rose up on his launches, stand
ing head and shoulders above the
bushes. AT that the COW made a rush
for him. with horns lowered.
The bear struck at her with his paw.
and then grappled her with both fore
paws by the head. The COW. under full
headway. was too much for him to
stand up against. She knocked him
over. breaking his hold. and the way
she horned him and butted him about
among the bushes was a caution to
bears.
The sight was too much for my
nerves. and ] went up a tree 1t was
needless. SO far as danger from the
bear was concerned. for the COW had
him whipped in the first round. and he
got away as soon as he could. whimper-
ing and biting at his sides In the
places where the cows horns had
pricked him.
From the tree | could see the calf
where he was hidden. He was what
had come for, but l did not feel like
getting down until l was sure the
COW had got quiet. But she knew her
friends. and when l went to the calf
and set him on his feet.-he was hid
