OFFERS IN THE WATER.

Offers are properly branch of The
weasel tribe and do not differ from the
sable. Though their toes are webbed
they can climb, dig, run, have sharp
teeth and if they want can kill and eat
rats, birds and rabbits.
The speed of an otter under water
is amazing. fish have no chance
against them. In some places In India
offers are kept by the natives to fish
for them. They are tied up to stakes
like dogs, when not working, wear
plated straw collars and seem happy.
In time of famine offers have been
known to attack hen roosts, ducks and
even lambs In the water they swim
so easily that scarcely ripple marks
their progress. Offers do not take
naturally to the water as do young
ducks, but have to be taught to swim
by their anxious parents.
Offers are very amiable and make
good pets. In disposition they arc
something between a kitten and a
dachshund, and the only complaints
against them are that they will not sill
still nor go to sleep like a dog or cat
and that when once they get into The
wafer it is hard to make them come
out.

THE WATERING TROUGH.

The sun was scorching like the
simoon's breath;
Tired horses toiled along the busy
street.
Patient and faithful, with no goal but
death,
With parching tongues, and weary,
aching feet.
Dogs painted as they run, and look
in vain
For cooling water, by which all
things live;
What God sends freely in refreshing
rain
A Christian city had forgot to give
What can do for good unto the
least?"
A woman unused, that sultry after
noon
Water unto the thirsty, man and
beast"
Whispered a voice. would be the
greatest boon.
A simple trough was made; beside it
stood
A new tin cup that glistened in the
sun;
A trifling act it seemed, and yet the
good
Could not be measured when the
year was done.
Day after day, from morning until
night,
The thankful horses never pass it
by;
To her who gave it, ever delight;
For what IS life, but constant min
stry?
The trough win do It's work for years
TO come;
The worn tin cup it's blessed use
will show;

and dumb,

J'ENvOI.

When earth's last picture is painted
and the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the Oldest colors have faded,
and the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and faith, we shall
need title down for an aeon or two,
Til the Master Of All Good Workmen
shall put US to work anew
And those that were good shall be hap
ply; they shall sit in a golden chair,
They shall splash at ten-league canvas
with brushes of comets hair;
Then shall find real saints to draw
from Magdalene, Peter, and Paul;
They shall work for an age at sit
ting, and never be tired at all,
And only the Master shall praise us,
and only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money, and
no one shall work for fame.
But each for the JOY of working, and
each in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees 1t for
the COG of Things as they Are

Bali Bearings on the Farm.

Ii is probably safe prediction that all
manufacturers of harvesting machinery
will eventually adopt ball bearings wher.
ever 1t is possible to use them, In 1891
the Deering Harvester Company OF Chr
cage equipped all their machines with
ball and roller bearings, and the great
popularity OF the idea led other manufac-
turers TO experiment with several styles
of roller bearings, hoping 10 apply them
to their machlt"s without appearing to
initiate the orginators too closely The
application of bail bearings is more cost
ly, but popular demand will Yet force all
competitors TO follow the lead of the
Deering Company.

EXPLORING WITH CASKS.
Latest Plan Evolved for Reaching he
North Pole.

A British geographical society is
eating the poles. Some years ago
Capt. George Melnoote, the famous eX-
plorer, was wrecked on an ice foe some
where in the Arctic sea. His ship fell
to pieces under the pounding OF ~
pillows, but he and the crew escaped
in a boat. The fragments of his craft
were never found, yet on pulling away
a strong current toward the pole was
encountered. This set the explorer 10
thinking. If the pieces of his ship
were carried off into the unknown
seas, why might human agencies be
not? So far the only reason for send
ing out expeditions northward has
been mainly for the purpose Of obsery-
ing daily record OF events, such as
latitude, longitude, soundings, daily
drift, finding the Arctic oceans bottom
where possible, and so forth, with the
possibility of discovering the north
pole.
A far-seeing geograpner asks: why
undergo this human risk when it can
be obviated with the use of oak
casks?" 1t is never too late TO adopt a
good idea, and so, acting on the sug-
gestion, the society in question is about
to set afloat 100 specially made casks
on arctic waters. These casks are to
he made on the principle of a spindle,
eonical shaped at each end, of twenty
gallons capacity and iron hooped.
They are to be set afloat in Boring
Strait, and it is thought that at rhe
end of four or five years they may be
expected to turn up at Spitzbergen and
Greenland, during which period they
will have travelled round the pole.
Should present geographical dedue-
tons be correct, these casks may dem
onstrate the existence of current far
enough to the north and west to meet
the polar drifts which run southwark
along the east coast of Greenland
whence 1t turns to the westward
thence to the southwark, where, as
part of the Labrador pack, it eyentu-
ally finds its way into the Atlantic
ocean. You can trace this route in the
arctic regions ON any good map OF the
world.
So far as regards the stability of the
casks to stand the great strain they
are sure to be subjected to on their
novel voyage, they will be made OF
heavy oak slaves one and a quarter
inches thick, bound round with heavy
iron hoops three-sixteenth of an inch
thick and two inches wide. Coated
with a solution of pitch and resin, the
casks will be almost corrosive proof.
They are to be placed on the heavy
foe pieces that they may drift with the
ice. Each cask is to contain a num-
Der of records, printed in the principal
languages of the world, these request
ing the finder of any one cask to pre-
serve the latter, but to send the rec
ords to the photographic office of his
own country. such Office in turn to send
to all other important countries the
records found within the cask, stating
the latitude and longitude where found.

pie attend, though 60 can crowd in.
The smallest church in England is in
Burlington, Sussex. 1t is built Of
flint, with stone quoins, ana has a red
tiled roof. The church is but 16 feet
square and FIVE narrow windows light
