In the Year 5000.

1t is legitimate to predict that a
thousand years hence civilization Will
be rather different from what 1t is to-
day. That which is acceptable now
will be abominable then.
Only to the entirely degraded will
smoking, drinking and sitting about
appeal. Only humanity's dregs will
theatres attract. Only cripples will
play cards. Only imbeciles will col
Iect daubs of paint Only prisoners
will feed in common, only by savages
will Jewels be worn, only for the in
sane will entertainments be held and
only children dance for pleasure.
By that time only in legend will
stocks be quoted, only in menageries
will horses survive, only in folklore
will novels endure, only in ballads
will fashions exist. There will be only
pictures to show that men wore high
hats and women low necks, only his
tory to tell that sport once was re-
taxation.
Each epoch has its chimera. That
of the Middle Ages was resurrection,
That of today is progress. That OF
the year 5000 will be equality. 1t is
probable that in the pursuit of it there
will be an explosion. 1t is equally
probable that after the explosion quiet
will ensue, which is the succession Of
great events.
The world will go on as before, pro-
viding, as it has, for the survival OF
the fitting, for mastery by the most
strenuous, for oblivion to those who
succumb.
Meanwhile the best we can do, the
best that has ever been done, is to real
ize that tomorrow we die, that the past
is gone, the future remote, the present
alone effective.

A "black art story was told in JUS
tice Of the Peace Mendelsons office, in
Mayfeld, Pa. Frank Dribpock had
a sick COW and engaged Harry Antho-
ny to cureit Anthony said he would
require so cents fee, and his orders
must be obeyed. He fixed a night and
went to the barn. He insisted that
Dribnock's wife should disrobe and
walk around the cow nine times while
he proceeded with his nominations,
The woman refused, but her husband
insisted, and she walked around the
animal nine times besides stepping over
it four times. Meanwhile Anthony
was burning herbs, watching the wom-
an and muttering to himself. When
it was all over he announced that the
COW would be well within week. 1t
wasn't, and he was refused his so
cents fee. Anthony struck Dribnock
and was arrested.

Trick of Indian Thieves.

In some Of the thieves schools in In
dia n regular course Of training Is
gone through in the art Of ''pouching,"
or concealing articles Of value in the
throat. The Engllshman, a newspaper
published in Calcutta, thus describes
the process:
AT first a small piece Of lead, at
tached to a thread, is swallowed and
guided by the action Of the tongue to
the orifice Of the sac in the throat. AS
soon as this has been thoroughly learn
ed the lead is coated with lime. This
eats into the sac and enlarges It, The
size of the article to be pouched Is
gradually increased until 1t is said
that many of the Indian thieves can
pouch or 10 rupees at once."-Toron-
to Mail and Empire.

Casting Metals.

AS Is we'll known, some metals are
unsuitable for casting, while others,
Ike iron, can readily be cast in any de-
sired shape. The property Of casting
well Is said to depend upon whether
the metal contracts or expands on so
lidifying from the liquid form. Iron,
like water, expands in solidfying, and
hence the solid metal may be seen
floating in the liquid iron about 1t. The
expansion causes it to fill the die into
which 1t is poured, and so it can be
cast easily. Gold and silver contract
IN cooling and therefore are not sulta.
bic for casting.

Train Dispatcher Wilson, of the Ka-

Va, could not raise any operator be-
yond Buffalo the other day, and was
holding all trains until he could dis
cover the cause. Finally the Buffalo
operator was sent out to walk the
track till he found the obstruction.
About mile below Buffalo, he came
across man who had thrown another
wire over the telegraph wire, thus
grounding it. When asked what he
was doing, he said he was taking "lec-
trio treatment for rheumatiz." The
grounded wire was removed, the cir
cult established, and the trains be-
gan to move after having been delayed

Hero Is an ingenious Circassian sto-
ry: A man was walking along one
road and a woman along another. The
roads finally united, and the man and
the woman, reaching the junction at
the same time, went on from there To-
eetber. The man was carrying large
iron kettle on his back. In one hand
he held by the leg a live chicken IN the
other a cane, and he was leading q
goat. Just as they were coming 10 a
deep. dark ravine the woman SAID 10
the man:
az am afraid to go through that dark
ravine with you. 1t is lonely place
and you might overpower me and KISS
me by force"
"If you are afraid of that" said the
man. ''you shouldn't have walked WIFI
me at all. How can l possibly over
come you and kiss you by force when l
have this great iron kettle on my BACK

Eyes" replied the woman, but II
you should stick your cane In the
ground and tie the goat to it and turn
the kettle bottom side up and put the
chicken under it, then you might wick

How 10 use the Kite for Fishing.

Kites are destined to play part in
sport. They have been used with
great success as means to stop par
tridges rising and flying from cover
whore it is wished to keep them for
shooting-the birds will not rise when
kites are flying above them, fearing,
doubtless, attack.
And now the kite has been used for
fishing
The credit of discovering the posi-
bilities of airline fishing is due to Mr..
Edward Horsman, the great kite ex-
pert and manufacturer.
The advantage of fishing from a kite
is that the fisherman may stand on
the shore whilst his bait is dropped
far out at sea also that timid fish are
not scared by seeing fishing rods or
boats when an air line is used. For
kite fishing strong kites are flown, the
string carrying small pulley, through
which the fish line runs. One end of
the fish line is held by the fisherman
on shore, the other, whichis weighted,
drops from the pulley as the ascent
is made, and dips into the sea. At
the moment when a fish snaps at the
bait and is hooked, the fisherman feels
the pull on his line, the kite is quickly
hauled in, and the fish is dragged in
at the same time. Mr.. Horsman has
caught many fine sea fish in this
Way.
