Kauai's Queer Well.

From the Hawaiian Star: A most
curious phenomenon has been observ-
ed in the flow of an artesian we'll on
Kealia plantation, Kauai. The water
has regular variations in it's flow, be-
ing lowest at s o'clock in the morning,
gradually rising until it attains its
greatest flow at 2 o'clock in the after
noon, and then as gradually falling
until 8 o'clock in the morning. Mana
ger George H. Fairchild of the planta-
ton thus describes the peculiar phe-
nomenon: The top of the pipe is I3
feet above sea level. At s there is a
flow of about 1000, 900 gallons in TWEEN
ty-four hours. By adding S feet more
of pipe the flow stops. We have had
this extra 5 feet of pipe on top of the
we'll for a month or more, waiting for
extra pipe to conduct the water to the
mill where it is to be used. We have
noticed a peculiar action of this col
umn Of water, and | have been unable
to find any explanation of it. If the
publication of the facts will lead to an
explanation l will be very much graft
fed. The column of water in this S feet
additional pipe placed to prevent the
flow at 8 o'clock in the morning Is at
it's lowest point ~ inches below the
top of the pipe. Then it rises until at
noon it begins to flow over the pipe.
The flow increases until 2 o'clock,
when there is quite a flow. From that
time it gradually falls until at II
o'clock at night there is a very slight
flow, and this ceases at l o'clock in the
morning, the water gradually falling
until it reaches the lowest point, at s
o'clock, when it begins to rise again.
1t has been suggested that this change
in flow is due to the tides, or the rota-
ton of the earth, or the influence OF
the sun. 1t is interesting and Should
like a satisfactory explanation" Rep
resentative McCandless says regarding
this phenomenon that in his experience
where an artesian well is influenced by
tides the water never rises above the
sea level.

about looking for spiney, when the
tide goes in AGAIN."
Eyes, mother, l did; but they said
they were afraid it would be of little
use."
Mrs. Sea-Urchin gave a sob, and
said:
Il hope this will be a lesson to you
children, to keep away from the top
OF the house. How often l have spoken
to Spiney about it; now I am afraid
Wen never see him again. Oh, deari
oh dear!" n she quivered all over in
her grief.
TOOK the shell with Spiney Sea-
Urchin on it. and slid him carefully
into his home.
20 mother!" he cried, as he slowly
sank to the bottom beside her, 1--WE
had such an adventure"
What a commotion there was at his
coming! The pool fairly boiled, and
all the Sea-Urchins talked at once, and
laughed, and had such fun, that stay
ed until the sun said that noon had
come, n 1t was time to say good-by
until another day.-Grace Eleanor

To a Dear Little Truant.

L % dear Lutte Truant.
When are you coming? the flowers have
come:
Bees in the balmy air happily hum;
In the dim woods where the cool MOSES
are,
Cleans the anemone's little. light star;
Tenderly, timidly, down in the dell,
Signs the sweet violet, droops the hare
bell;
Sort in the wavy grass lightens the dew;
Spring keeps her promises: why do not
you?
Up In the blue air the clouds are at play
fou are more graceful and lovely than
they;
Birds in the branches sing all the day
long.
When aon ARE you coming to join in their
Fairer than flowers. n fresher than
devil
Other sweet things are h%ere-why are not
you?
Why don't you come? we lave welcomed
Every light zephyr, as gayly it goes,
Whispers of other flowers, met on its
way:
Why has 1t nothing of you, love, to say?
why does 1t tell us of music and dew?
Rose Oh the south, we are waiting for you.
Do not delay, darling, mid the dark trees,
Like a lutte murmurs the musical breeze;
sometimes the brook, as it trips by the
flowers
iushes It's MARBLE to listen for yours.
PURE as the %rfvulet, lovely and true
spring should have waited till she could
bring you.

Writing of his varied experiences, in
Stevenson tells of a time when, need
ing exercise, he volunteered to assist in
pumping ship. A ships pumps are
worked by means of handle-bars at
tached to large, heavy fy-wheels, six
feet in diameter, and the motion OF
pumping is similar to the old-fashioned
way of lifting rock out of an excava-
ton by man-power derricks. | de-
scended to the main deck after supper
and was smilingly welcomed by boat
swain and men. 1 grasped the handle
bar with the reckless assurance of a
man who knows not what he does, hav-
ing opposite me a ~raw-boned, powerful
Englishman, Coleman by name.
Shake her up" came from the second
mate in another moment, and urged
by the strong arms of the sailors the
great wheels began slowly to revolve.
AS moments passed with no indication
of acceleration in the speed, I began
to fear that l was not to find much
exercise, when all at once there was an
increase in the movement, and nv
breath came shorter and quicker.
Faster and yet faster flew the iron
handles till we must have been doing
sixty revolutions to the minute. I was
nearly pitched off my feet at every
turn, and my head began to swim.
Usually at the end of fifteen minutes
a halt is called for a breathing-spell;
but now we went on and on with no
signs of stopping. Then l saw that
the men were putting up a joke on me,
n had no intention of resting until |
should cry Enough" which l resolved
o to do. The pace was frightful, but
l decided to faint on the deck rather
than yield. Round went the cruel, re-
lentless handles, carrying me with
them, while the boatswain made face
tious observations, at which the men
smiled compassionately. Fine exer-
else this, mister. How'd you like to
do this when we's turnin' the corner
with two feet of water on the deck?''
A CHASTITY smile was the only answer
l could summon, and in five minutes
more I should certainly have sue
cumbed to dizziness and want of
breath. Then I heard the voice of the
mate, strange and distant, "That'll 10
the pumps" / let go the handles, sum-
moned all my strength. tottered to the
poop ladder, crawled up, fell into a
deck chair, and for a few minutes en-
dured the agony Of a man thoroughly
pumped"

aide-de-camp, and accordingly took
prompt measures to counterfeit
his plans, and years afterward, when
they were both old men, he astonished
the marshal by telling him how he had
defeated him. Capt. Shaw, later on
Sir James Shaw Kennedy, gives anoth-
er example of the dukes astonishing
GOODNESS. Near the close of the day,
about Z p. M, he galloped up to the
duke, then directing the defense being
made by Maitland's guards, with the
momentous news that his line, the
right center, was open for the whole
space between Halkett's and Kemp s
brigades. All that the duke replied
was: 81 shall order the Brunswick
troops to the spot and other troops be-
sides; go you and get all the German
troops Of the division on the spot that
you can and all the guns you can find"
And SO he did. The duke himself led
five battalions of the Brunswickers in
to the gap, and with the charmed life
which he bore on the great day, when
those young and untried troops stag
gered under the fierce fire they en-
countered and the vigorous outset of
the French, he threw himself among
them and by voice and gestures rallied
them into the fighting line. And then
his dangerous duty done to his right
center, he galloped back further to his
right to prepare for the storm just
about to break-Napoleon's final effort
with his guard, which he only employ
ed in his battles in some great crisis of
the struggle.

Remarkable Picture.

The most remarkable snapshot pic
ture in the world is owned by a friend
of mine in a town in Georgia" said an
enthusiastic amateur photographer to
a New Orleans Democrat reporter. Its
story is extremely curious. 1t seems
that he went one day to a blacksmith
shop to get a shot at the men at the
forge. The smith was engaged on a
difficult piece of iron work, and had
two helpers. Just behind them, on a
shelf, was a pint flask, full of yellow
ish-white liquor-evidently the corn
whiskey for which the native Georgian
has a peculiar liking. AS my friend
was preparing to take his picture one
of the helpers caught sight of the bot
tie and communicated his discovery by
dumb show to his companion. The
smiths back was turned at the mo-
ment and the first man reached
stealthily for the prize, while my
friend, u~nnoticed in the corner, quick
ly aimed his camera. 1t was a comical
scene and in his mind he had already
named the photo The Stolen Drink
The helper uncorked the flask and took
a swift gulp, and his comrade snatched
1t and did likewise. Then for a brief,
~breathless instant they looked at each
other, and as they did so their foollsh
grin gave way to such a stare of hor-
ror as l never saw before upon a hui
man face. I know, because it was then
that the camera clicked, and the pic
ture is as clear as a crystal. The flask
contained carbolic acid. When my
friend took one print he broke the
negative so as to make the photograph
absolutely unique. 1t shows the for
ward end of the shop. In the fore
ground is the anvil, with the smith
bending over his work. Behind him
are the two helpers, n still holding
the flask, looking at each other. You
can see tragedy in their yes as PLAN
as print. 1t is a frightful and dramat-
ic tableau that could not be duplicated
by any sort Of art"

BABY and Elephant,

Lillian Allen Martin describes in the
81. Nicholas a baby's ride on an ele-
phant. Cum Moon. the nurse. took
Ruth from her crib and shifted with
her nose the warm little cheek and
neck; this is the Laos way of kissing.
Maj nov pi doy!" ("The little lady
Is gong on the mountain.") She re-
peated this many times while dressing
her. Out on the broad veranda where
Ruth spent all her waking hours it
was very lively and entertaining. Such
a running about and ordering and
packing as there was! Mattresses. pill
lows n blankets were strewn over
the floor; dishes, clothing and provf-
slons were being packed into bamboo
baskets. In the open space before the
house, below the high veranda, four
big elephants ~leisurely broke I'D and
cheWed long, juicy banana stalks,
making a great rustling noise as they
swept the broad leaves over the
ground. By and by the hubbub on the
Veranda quieted down. The filed bas-
kets were fastened, two by two, on
each end of a short pole; this pole was
nolsted over a mans shoulder, and off
he trotted with his load. Down among
the elephants was a great shouting and
grooming and s%training. The elephants
were made to kneel down while the
heavy howdahs, or elephant saddles,
were put in place on their backs. Two
OF the howdahs were packed with bed
ding, two folding-chairs, a coop of
chickens, a stone water-flter, cans of
Observation-Disclosures could not be put
into the bamboo baskets. The third
elephant was led up to the first landing
of the long flight of veranda stairs, and
Ruth's mamma stepped upon a chair,
then on the stair-railing, and then on
the elephants head, whence it was
easy to reach the seat of tie howuah.
Papa made the passage to the howdah
more quickly and with less trepidation.
Lastly, dear DR.. McGilvary, who was
speeding the expedition, handed the
baby over to papa, and chorus of mai
noy pi doy!" went up from the admir-
ing crowd below. The procession moved
out of the gate, the brass bells at the
elephants necks Ginning melodiously.

Morgan's Rihemen.

When Washington, one day riding
along his lines, saw the fringed hunt
Ing shirts Of the Virginians approach
Ing, the reserve of his naturally undem-
onstrative nature broke down. "At
the sight he stopped, the rif1emen drew
nearer and their commander, stepping
IN front, made the military salute, ex-
claiming, General, from the right bank
of the Potomac!' Washington dis
mounted, came to meet the battalion,
and going down the line with both
arms extended, shook hands with the
rifemen M by one, tears rolling down
his cheeks as he did SO. He then
mounted, saluted and silently rode on.
The rif1emen were at once employed as
s~harpshooters and kept the enemy con-
tinually in hot water. Hitherto the
British outposts had been safe enough
within stones throw of the American
inc, but they now found, to their cost,
that 1t was almost certain death to
expose their heads within 200 yards of
/ ri1eman. So frequent became the
returns of officers, pickets and artil-
rerymen shot at long range that Ed
nund Burke exclaimed in Parliament,
Your officers are swept off by the rifles
# they show their nosesi" In the
British camp the rilemen were called
shirt tail men, with their cursed twist
ID guns, the most fatal widow-and-or-
ohan makers in the world."-Harper's
Magazine.

Ants Who Have Slaves,

Did you eve hear of ants who make
slaves of other ants? Well, there are
such creatures. They are called slave
making ants.
One day in the year 1904 a famous
naturalist beheld a large body of ants
marching rapidly over the ground in
an u%nbroken column. Their behavior
was most military and there was no
struggling. Presently they came to an
ant mound where another species of
ants lived. Some of these ants were
on guard, and on seeing the enemy ap-
proach messengers were Sent to the
interior of the mound to call the rest
out. In a minute a great battle was
on, which ended in a victory for the
attacking party. The conquered ones
retreated to the bottom of their nest,
While the ~conquerors followed in after,
Int presently each returned with a
baby ant in it's mouth. These ants
were brought up as slaves, as was later
discovered by this same naturalist.
After a while the masters became so
dependent on the slaves for everything
SASJ oui w nOluluS LOT themselves
except nght other ants. They lost
their teeth; they forgot how to build:
they neglected their young, leaving the
slave ants to care for them; they even
lost the power of feeding themselves.
n when, by way of experiment, a few
OF them were placed by themselves
where there was lots of food, but no
slaves to give it to them, they died,
every n of them, from hunger. One
time a man took a few of this species
and kept them by themselves for a
couple of days, and then, just as they
seemed about to die, he gave them one
slave ant. Working all alone, this fell
low built a nice home, washed and
cared for the baby ants and fed the
older ones, who were about dead from
hunger. If o had to be an ant,
wouldn't you much rather be the slave
than the master?

Burning Up a General.

ri never told you, did II" asked a
regular soldier who has not yet recov-
cred from the wound he received at Ell
Caney, how neal l came to burning
up a brigadier-general in Cuba last
summer"
Burning him up?" repeated the SOL
dier's friend; mo, you certainly never
told me that"
We'll, the officer that l came near
finishing was Gen. Miles-Col. Evan
Miles of the LIST infantry, you know,
but a brigadier-general of volunteers.
Our regiment was in his brigade, and
this happened one night in June, when
l was on headquarters guard. Head
quarters was a big name for a pretty
poor place. There wasn't even a tent,
n the general and his aid, a lieuten-
ant, were ~bivouacking by a fire, with
nothing but some empty boxes to sleep
on-not the softest kind of bed.
1T grows awfully cold, you know, as
soon as the sun goes down in Cuba, and
the dew chills you to the bone. That
night was cooler than usual, and l was
sh1vering as l built up the campfire.
Because of that, l suppose, I made it
good and big. Gen. Miles and the lieu
tenant lay down on their boxes, and
went to sleep, and when the fire was
well started l went on my post, a hun
dred yards or SO away.
After l had been there for perhaps
half an hour, walking up and down
trying to keep warm, l heard a commo-
ton in the camp. Gen. Miles was
shouting, Sentry! sentry!' at the top
of his voice. 1 rushed up as fast as l
could, but ven before 1 got there 1
saw what the trouble was. You never
laid eyes on such a roaring old camp
fire. The general was kicking at the
box that had been his bed.
'D-n it, mani he said, as 1 came
up, what are you trying to do-burn
me up? You've got too much fire here
altogether!'
Nobody could help agreeing with
him on that point. The end of his box
was blazing, and his clothes were fair
ly scorched. The heat had walked him
up just before he actually caught fire
himself. I hustled around and stamped
the fire out where 1t had spread be-
yond bounds, and when I got that done
| apologized as well as 1 knew how.
The lieutenant was on the other
side of the fire, and the wind had kept
the blaze away from him. He was sit
ting up, with his back toward us, so
that the general couldn't see him
laugh, but his shoulders were shaking
well.
There was a funny side to it, of
course, but it might have been serious
for me. 1t looked like the careless
trick of a recruit, instead of the work
of a man who has been in the army as
long as l have. The general was very
good about it, and no matter how cold
1t was, l was more moderate in my
camplres after that."-New York Trib-
una

Berks County Spooks

Berks county, Pennsylvania, Ia the
home of spooks, ghosts and witch
craft. So eminent a position does it
hold In this respect that a newspaper
at Reading, the capital of the county.
once had a regular spook department.
devoted to the latest news in regard to
witch doctors and w%itchcraft. The de-
partment was a great success. For the
last few years the spook industry has
languished and the paper has discon-
tinued its spook department, greatly
to the regret of its readers. Since the
railroad accident on May IL on the
Philadelphia & Reading railroad, at
Exeter, whereby twenty-nine persons
lost their lives, things in the spook
line have been looking I'D again. II is
now reported that strange sights and
sounds are seen and heard at the place
of the wreck. Fishermen, who have
never been known to lie about the size
of the fish that got away, and others
going home at midnight, say that they
have seen a phantom train come dash

who did not even have a flask with
them, all the details of the accident are
reproduced, after which everything
vanishes.
Those who have seen the spook in
dustry in Berks county wane and fade
have had their hopes revived by these
stories that spooks have not, after az,
deserted their old stamping grounds.
The Reading papers have sent report

uliaois-Fed Texas Cattle,

A telegram to the Chicago Record
rom Rockford, ILL.,, under a recent
late, said:
The sale by Warren Gilmore, a
'armer living four miles northwest Of
this city, of forty-one head Of cattle
averaging 1851 pounds, after seven
months full feed, is a part of the ex-
pertinent Of the Illinois state live stock
board in dipping Texas cattle and ship
ping them to northern Illinois to fit
Tor market. The younger cattle Of that
shipment did not do well, but the
s-year-olds, which were placed on diff
rerent farms In this vicinity to the
lumber of 600 head, turned out fairly
well and were sold in the Chicago
market at the close OF winter.
The test showed that the southern
sattle do not thrive as we'll during the
sold weather as the native cattle of
THIS section. The herd which was fed
on into June by Mr.. Gilmore made a
good showing during the latter warm
months and made the best results of
any Of the shipments. The cattle were
bought by Mr.. Gilmore Nov. II, the
average weight being 915 pounds. They
are said to be one of the finest lots
Of cattle marketed in this region this
year. They were high-grade Polled
Angus. Their average gain in the
seven months is 436 pounds. The test
70 show immunity from risk or south
ern fever in bringing them north was
a success, but as to the feeding ex-
pertinent Mr.. Gilmore considers that
the native cattle are more profitable
when they can be had. He paid 81 per
lOO pounds for the entire bunch, and
AFTER adding 436 pounds average weight
SOLD the lot at $4.85 per 100 pounds.
Inc cattle required about ten bushels
OF corn per month besides rough feed.
Inc cost to feed per head was about
sSo, while the average net gain was
a little less than $29. On the face OF
II THIS shows a small loss on the trans
action, but Mr.. Gilmore estimates a
l OF about $500 on hogs feeding
AFTER the cattle. The principal light
shed by this experiment Is that feeder
cattle can be brought from Texas and
req W for market on northern Illinois
farms. 1t has been found to be a
perfectly safe operation under the pro-
visions made by the department of ag-
rculture. The greatest difficulty ex-
perienced by feeders in this part oil
the country is in getting good cattle
to feed. For that reason they have
been looking in every direction. Al
times there is almost a famine of cat
tie suited to the demand because OF
the dearth in the supply of feeders
There may be times when the relative
state Of supply in Texas and in the
north will make the new plan a com.
mercial success.
