present plan Of the Shakers is not to
fence in all the land suitable for
meadow and to erect large sheds at
regular intervals, where the cattle can
take refuge in disagreeable weather.
A few years hence visitors to this
section Of Georgia will see this de-
lightful stretch Of country restored to
the high state of cultivation known in
more prosperous days, and the Shak-
ers, too, will probably be seen in
force, for their business agent for
Georgia, Mr.. R. T. Clark, Of Bruins

eventually move the larger part OF the
Ohio membership to the new location.

Weight Of Deep Sea Water.

When marine life began to command
notice the question Of the depth to
which life could extend divided scien-
ti6c thought into warning camps.
About 1910 it was generally believed
that the bathymetrical limit was about
300 fathoms, and some strange ideas
were current as to the physical con-
dition- Of water when under pressure
such as a depth Of two miles would
produce. 1t was thought that skele-
tons Of drowned men, or even heavy
cannon and the 'swedges Of gold'' that
popular imagination places in the sea,
foated at certain levels, beneath which
is water so compressed as to be i'm
penetrable. In fact. water is almost
incompressible. and the weight Of a
cubic inch of it at the depth CT a mile
is very little more than at the surface;
but it was assumed that no living
being could survive pressure which
at 1000 fathoms is about ton to the
square inch. We ourselves live under
pressure Of about fifteen pounds per
inch, and are unaware of it. Indeed,
we sometimes waken on q morning
when the barometer has risen, say,
half an inch during the night, and
consequently find ourselves sustaining
an increased pressure Of several tons
not only without suffering, but with a
positive feeling Of bouancy and good
spirits. On the other hand, if the
tremendous pressure under which we
live be relieved as by surgical "cup, y
severe injury may follow. Aeronauts
suffer from this cause, and marine
animals dredged from great depth
often reach the surface in a most la
mentable condition, with eyes pro-
truding and viscera distended.-NortA

Tricks of a Pet Grow.

OF all the pets I ever had, which
were many, l never found one SO know
ing or SO full Of mischief as pet crow,
which was given me when | was girl
Of l2. When he came to me he had
been slightly wounded in one wing,
which at first disabled him, but from
which he soon fully recovered.
At first he occupied cage made by
mailing some Stats across the open end
of small box, and this box always
remained his headquarters. A hand
full Of corn and dish Of water was his
daily ration. When he became sufi-
GENTLY tame to be trusted to go and
come as he plesaed he undoubtedly
foraged for such titbits as crows are
said to be fond Of. Jim Crow ESQ
named) never seemed to care for the
society of other crows; otherwise, 1t
may have been that his black bretheren
did not care to associate with one
cowardly enough to submit to captivity.
At all events, they were never seen
together. Jim's boon companion was
large house dog. When the dog was
told to 20 after the COWS which we're
pastured at least a quarter Of a mile
away, Jim Grow always went with him,
flying slowly couple Of feet above the
dogs back, and frequently riding
homeward on the back of COW. Some
young men were at work at carpentry
this summer on my fathers barn, who
never tired Of teaching Jim tricks, and
they often. declared if Jim's tongue
was only split he could be taught to
speak like parrot.
Jim's powers of imitation we're very
amusing. If one bowed to him he
usually returned the compliment in a
polite manner. At other times he
would scratch in the earth and call
like hen who was scratching for a
brood of chickens, initiating every mo-
tion as we'll as the hens voice. L
have seen him pick up pebbles and
drop them in the bung hole Of an
empty barrel, just for the report the
pebbles made, and when tired Of his
mischief, he would put both legs into
the bung hole and whirl round and
round, as if his legs were an auger bor-
ing a hole, in imitation of the carpen-
ters, who frequently had Jim as a
spectator while working in this line Of
business. But Jim's proclivities for
mischief brought him into disrepute
with our own family as well as our
neighbors. A washing spread out on
the bleaching yard was sure to be Wis
tied by Jim, who would fly off to a
mud puddle or the COW yard, and when
his feet were fully saturated with filth
he would walk over the clothes until
his footprints resembled Egyptian
hieroglyphics. This trick cost him his
life. for he was undoubtedly shot by a
neighbor.-Country Gentleman.

Keep the Philippines.

The campaign of hundred days.
is over, and already signs are multi
plying that prosperity in what may be
unprecedent volume is coming for the
fortunate citizens of the great rebublic.
Nothing in history, from the day on
which Themistocles won the fight at
Salamis to Nelson's victory CT the
Nile, furnishes parallel in glorious
achievement to the sea fights Of Manila
and Santiago, nor has progressive
nation ever gained so timely and so
magnificent point d'arpui as is the
Philippine archipelago, conquered by
Dewey at one blow and without the
cost of single life. What shall be
done with that group of islands is still
apparently undecided. What is the
duty of the government in regard to
them seems to US as clear as the sun
at noon of cloudless day. Through
the superb audacity Of a man whose
name is already inscribed on the i'm
perishable tablet Of the immortals,
these islands are ours, absolutely and
unquestionably, and we have Bis
marck's authority for saying that the
nation which voluntarily Il. e., except
under compulsion) surrenders territory,
is decaying nation. The Philippines
are ours, none can COMPEL us to yield
the advantages gained or reasonably
ask us to do so; ergo, we must keep
them.
The markets Of India are open to us,
and, unless we are fools and let slip
the wonderful opportunity to possess
a splendid coign Of vantage close to
the shores of eastern Asia, the teem-
ing millions Of the Middle Kingdom
will soon buy largely Of us. One-third
of the human race within easy distance
of US, coaling stations on the road, and
Manila as the Hong Kong Of Uncle
Sans alert and keen merchant trad
ers! Think of i'll And then, if you
can without fierce anger, think of the
little Americans who would have US
forego the splendid chances given us
by George Dewey and his glorious
jaekies! Why, to our mind, the acqui-
sition of the whole Of the West Indian
archipelago would be small gain
compared to the ownership Of the
Philippine group-all Of it, not omit
ing an islet with surface of one acre
with such stupendous possibilities as
would be opened us by its possession.

The men on the firing line were in
extricably mixed. Men of one COM
mand found themselves with another,
and there was so much running into
one command by another that finally
no attempt was made to maintain sep
arate dctachments, but every one went
on taking the hills, making the rushes,
and getting from one trench into an
other without regard to organization
or consistent plan. Much Of the
time an officer Of no higher rank than
captain was the senior officer Of the
firing line, and apparently. with the
exception Of Roosevelt, then lieuten-
ant colonel, the only officer Of higher
rank at anv time was major of regu-
lars. These officers worked on with
out regard to what others were doing,
simply going ahead and using their
influence through Roosevelt whenever
word reached them that the army
would be ordered to retreat.
1t was lack Of generalship, the same
critics assert, which made the artil-
lery, when it finally was used, more
an engine Of destruction to our own
forces than anything else. It was.so
placed as to do little damage to the,
enemy, whose fire it attracted with
frightful certainty.
Another occasion Of criticism re-
lates to the incompetency Of the vol
sunteer officers of both line and staff.
The latter, as is well known, were
mostly political appointees, and the
danger Of this reckless system Of pre-
ferment was shown many times, the
troops suffered greatly through the
Ignorance and incompetence Of sub
sistent officers and quartermasters.
The officers Of volunteer regiments
were in nearly as sad a plight. It was
{ due to their lack Of experience that
the men Of their regiments were often
times without food that they slept on
the ground when they might have had
something better, that they were with
ont shelter when it was at hand, that
they were sick when the simplest rules
[ Of hygiene would have preserved item
from disease. All this was shown in
sbewilderment Of officers in getting
supplies, and in their failure to en-
force the usual police regulations Of
military, camps. Food was wickedly
wasted, as, for instance, large pieces
Of meat were thrown upon the ground
to rot in the sun in the midst of the
regimental camp. 1twas a marvel to
older and experienced observers that
pestilence and famine did not run
riot in our army before Santiago fell.
Akin to the Ignorance Of officers Of
volunteer regiments was the indiffer-
ence of the men to all rules Of health
and their seeming ability to look after
themselves as do the regulars. These
soldiers make it harder for the staff
officers charged with supplies and
transportation, and increased the diff
6culties containing the volunteer
staff officers.
All Of these conditions will be found
to have prevailed, and others equally
bad and some worse, if intelligence be
shown in the conduct Of an investiga-
ton.

investigation committee, if it takes
the trouble to call upon those in po-
sition to know. Gen. Shafter, in the
first place, was not able to take an
active part in the campaign. He fail
ed to make inspections, and his only
means Of keeping track of affairs at
the front or anywhere else was through
his aides and staff officers. He stuck
to his tent nearly all the time, tanning
himself vigorously, when not totally
collapsed and under the care Of nurses.
He was unapproachable and irascible,
aud many of the men who had busi-
ness with him came to actually fear
him. He was profane in his language,
Of violent temper and generally disa-
greeable.
Only one staff officer appeared on
the firing line during the attack on
Santiago. The fight, said one officer
Of regulars, was carried on entirely by
captains, lieutenants and enlisted
men. These were without orders from
headquarters most of the time, and it
is asserted by those who should know
that after the first and preliminary in
structions the commanding officers
failed to give further orders. If any
we're issued they were never delivered,
which is nearly as bad.

sway, the orders of this austere and
frugal people will henceforth be issu-
ed. The broad fields will again smile
to the touch of the husbandman and
cattle will wander across meadow and
marsh as they did in slavery days.
Stock raising will be the chief indus
try, though the rice fields will be re-
stored and the crops that once carried
the fame of these lands across the
seas will be resumed.
But it is not on the Altamaha alone
that the Shakers intend to settle in
Georgia. In Camden County they are
just closing deal for $500 acres,
which purchase includes the entire
town Of White Oak-stores, mills,
residences; in fact, everything. A
Shaker village with all the industries
and peculiarisies of such settlement
will take the place of the little town
of natives. There is even some talk
that the Court House Of Camden
County may be moved from st.
Mary S, where it is now located, to
the new Shaker settlement at White
Oak.
One thousand head of cattle have
been placed ON the range at Altama,

as arrangements can be perfected to
