men took one of these sticks, and the
boy took a Ratchet and climbed the
tree. When all was ready, the boy
cut off the limb of the tree, and down
came the porcupine. Papa and the
two men caught him with the forked
sticks.
Then they took a bag they had with
them, got him into that, tied a string to
each end of the bag, put pole through
and papa and the boy carried him
through the swamps and woods seven
miles to the nearest house. There
they hired boy to take them in a team
ten miles into Bridgetown. When they
got there, papa took box and put
some wire over the top. 'Bluenose,"
for that is what we call the porcupine,
was then fixed to bring home. He lost
good many quilts on the way home,
for most all the people wanted one as
a souvenir.
At first I wasn't very well pleased
with my birthday present, but papa
has fixed neat little bedroom down
underground for him to sleep in when
it is cold. He told me to feed him,
and take care of him, and Iwould soon
learn to like him. Every morning

come and feed him. He makes little

nence. Corregidor, says the New
York Herald, was a Spanish explorer
and was buried on the island, where a
handsome tomb had been erected to
his memory.
When the Spanish surrendered Cor
regidOr island to the Americans a
company of soldiers and hospital men
were sent there to establish a hos
pital. While in Manila the soldiers had
heard many stories of the Corregidor
tomb. One of the stories given out
was that vast amount of jewelry
and money had been stored away in
the tomb.
As soon as the American soldiers
landed on the island they at ones tore
their way into the monument. but

varying densities of the liquids account
for the erratic actions of the eggs.
To make an obedient egg we require
an egg which has previously been
blown. Through the hole you pour a
sufficient quantity of silver sand to
fill quarter Of the egg, and then seal
up the hole with wax. Having done
this, your egg can be made to assume
any position. You can perform the Co.
lumbus egg trick with the greatest
ease, you can balance it on the fiat
part of knife. on its sides or on its
pointed end, the only care being taken
each time to well shake the egg in or
der to allow all the sand to collect at
the desired spot.
This is the obedient egg; now for the
disobedient one-the egg which will
only stand in one position, viz, on its
pointed end, and which if subjected
to any amount of shaking cannot be
made to assume any other position.
Through the hole in the top pour
some shot and add a small quantity Of
sealing wax. Then hold the egg over
a gas flame, taking care not to crack it..
The wax and shot will then melt, and
when cooled, and the egg is placed on
the table, it will assume an upright
position and nothing will cause it to
take any other; it can be knocked
down, but it will Immediately jump up
again into its old position.-Golden

NEIGHBORS.

Jack and jamie live side by side;
They're neighbOrs close in a coy way,
And oh, what pleasure they have indoors
or out in the street at play!
All, deary me! If they'd always agree,
What fun they could have in their play!
For Jacky and jamie keep ''house" and
school"
And sometimes they set up store and
trade;
But once in awhile things don't go right,
Ard they quarrel then, I'm afraid
Yes, deary me! These two disagree
And quarrel at times, I'm afraid.
Then they play apart for the morning
through
And never a neighborly word they say;
But they don't seem happy-I wonder
why
And it isn't pleasant day.
An, deary me! Why can't they agree
And make it a pleasant day?
But after luncheon they side out,
And jamie, perhaps, has a piece of cake
And she stands close up to the garden
fence,
So Jacky a bite can take
For deary me. They soon would agree
If Jacky bite would take.
She holds it out with a sidelong glance,
And Jacky moves up and takes a bite
And then-the trouble is past and gone;
They will play together till night
Yes, deary me! They now can agree,
And they'll play together till night

the selection. The bond of $4,000
was accepted, and First Assistant
Marshal Musham became fire mar

ately.
simultaneously the resignation of
Chief Swenie was read, his half a
century of service acknowledged and
the thanks of the city of Chicago ten
dered officially by the mayor as the
representative of the people. That
was Chief Swenie's formal 'good-by"
and the beginning of Chief Musham's
term.
William Henry Musham was born
of Scotch-Irish parents in Chicago,
February Z, 1899, and is a carpenter

was at Washington and Dearborn

My papa, in company with two other
men and a boy, went into the Nova

pet for my eighth birthday, and a
porcupine is what he brought. He
seemed like an ugly-looking pet with
so many sharp quilts sticking out all
over his back, and L wondered how
papa ever caught him. He said when
he was away out in the woods, seven
miles from the nearest house, he saw
him way up on the limb of birch tree,
getting a breakfast of birch leaves.
The first thing papa did was to cut

out danger from the torpedoes." The
old sea fighter was correct. for Dewey
did the business in hand, and took a
rest in order to get breakfast for the
men behind the guns. The foresight
of the admiral, which now seems like
prophecy, was further indicated
when Schley from the bridge of the
Brooklyn, off Santiago, signaled to
the captains of the feet under his i'm
mediate command to "close in on the
enemy"
The history of our navy has never
been officially published, but it is now
well under way. Twenty years ago
the congress authorized the publica-
ton of the records of the war of the
rebellion, but that history related
chiefly to the movements of the
armies and not of our fleets. The
preservation of the official records of
the navy during the war, 1S6l-1S65,
was first preached by Secretary
Chandler in 1884. Secretary Whitney
heartily committed himself to it, and
it was on his recommendation that
an appropriation was made, which be-
came available under Secretary
Tracy, who also Endorsed the measure

REV. CAMPBELL MORGAN.
English Preacher Who VIII Carry

Just Arrived in America.

Rev. DR.. G. Campbell Morgan, Of
London, who has just arrived in Amer

Moody in the American field of evan
gelism, was until lately the pastor Of
the New Court Congregational church,
one of the most successful churches in
all the United Kingdom. DR.. Morgan
is 50 years old. His father was a Bap-
fist minister of Gloucestershire, and
his mother the daughter of Baptist
deacon. The son thus came naturally
into the ministry. He began to speak
in religious meetings when he was 10
years old. In all, he has been preach
ing 25 years. His first pastorate was

sistant foreman. Subsequently he
was captain of No. 6, which moved to
Maxwell and Canal streets. His COM

the great fire of 1871.
r. a. Williams was then chief, John
Schnur first, Lorenz Walters second,
and Matt Benner third assistant
marshal, and the city had but II en-
gines, three of which were out of
service.
March /, 1872, Musham was made
third assistant marshal for his brav-
cry during the great fire. In 1879,
when Swenie was made chief, he was
appointed first assistant.
Although the hero of countless
close calls, Musham has never had
bone broken. From a height of 24O
feet he fought the fire in the Manu-
features building at the worlds fair,
and in the basement of the EdelWeiss
cafe, where Big Tom" of truck No.

praise to Battalion Chief Kenyon,
Capts. Foley, of No. 3; Lucy, of No.
~; Grape, of No. IS; McKiernan. of
No. 81, and Palmer, of truck No. 20.
AT a fire in a commission house on
South Water street in June, 1865,
Musham stood between two firemen
when they were killed instantly by
falling debris. He was swept into
the river by a strong wind at the
S. X. Martin lumber yard fire in 1894,
when Lieut.. McGinn, of the freboat,
was blown on live Goals and burned
to death.
August 5, 1897, he, was severely in

injured. Musham saved so lives by
moving two freboats in time to pre-

uaIly Pittsburg will have to go down 2000 feet in order to procure coal, or else give up her great industries. This means not only inferior coal, but also dearer coal. There is plenty soft coal in Pennsylvania, but none of the lower or more distant deposits are equal in quality to the Connellsville coal for blast-furnace uses, and the Connells- vile coal will soon be exhausted, as MT. Schwab has stated.
 A similar state of things exist Tn the Mesaba ranges, from whence Pittsburg procures its ore supplies. Leaner ores lying deeper down are in store for Pittsburg from year to year. The 65 per cent. ores that can be shoveled into cars are exhausted, and even 50 per cent. ores are rare and difficult in the working. The average Mesaba grade will soon contain not over 50 per cent of metallic iron, and it will lie beyond the reach of the steam shovel. These facts are conceded in Pittsburg, and they sustain MT.

SEA LEvEL CANAL THE BEST.

From the Chicago Record d-Herald.
 In the opinion of all engineers a sea level canal across the Isthmus of Panama is the most desirable, although it would be the most expensive. The greatest ob- jection to it is the length of time re- quired for it's construction, which is esti- mated at twenty years. It is believed that with the work already done a canal pleted in six or seven years. Ten years Is the time fixed for the Nicaragua route. The reason that the sea level ca- nal at Panama would take so long a time is that the space is limited and 1t would be possible to work only small number of men and excavators. The heavy diggings is all at the water sheds, within the limits of few miles.
