Ira H.jRandall of the Augusta Lum-
Der Co.. has returned from a several
days trip to the Maine woods where
the numbering operations of that com
pany are being carried on. He reports
that there is from 212 to 3 feet of snow in
the woods. Work was necessarily
suspended for few days during the
thaw but it has been resumed. The
storm which came soon after the thaw
was welcomed by the lumbermen al
though they would have very much
preferred that both should not have
come. About the same amount of snow
fell in the lumber regions as here. Mr..
Randall hopes that the snow will last
so that work may be continued for the
next month.

Hedgehog and Viper.

A resident of Versailles, NJ. Guignet,
sends to Nature a vivid account of a
duel he saw between a hedgehog and
a viper. The two enemies knew very
well at first sight who was who, and
eyed each other as if they knew a
moments %inattention would be fatal.
The viper was the first to get tired Of
gazing, and it began to glide away.
Just then the hedgehog rushed for the
viper's tail, and, having nailed it fast
with its teeth, 1t rolled itself up. The
hedgehog vas very careful, however,
not to cut the tail off. The viper
curled back and delivered furious as
saults on its aggressor, wrestling and
rolling with the curled up hedgehog all
owe the place. At length the snake,
wounded in a hundred places, died.
The hedgehog began it's repast on the
tail Of its victim and was careful not
to eat the head.

Vegetable CATERPILLAR.

Among the many strange growths,
apparently freaks Of nature, which are
10 be found in New Zealand the vege.
table caterpillar readily ranks among
the foremost. This caterpillar Is sew
eral inches in length, Is hairless and
does not differ essentially in appear
n c from some Of the caterpillars of
u own land.
Its claim to distinction lies in the fact
that when it gets ready to die it digs a
hole for itsd0f in the earth and COM
pletely buries itself. Later a slender
green shoot springs from the spot. This
bears two or more leaves near its top.
Upon investigation it is found that
the green shoot springs from the head
of the dead caterpillar, and further in
vestigation develops the fact that the
body of the caterpillar is filled with
roots.
The form is retained without change,
and the roots do not pierce through the
skin or enter the ground. When dug
up. this dead yet living freak presents
a most odd appearance, for the head
and even the eyes of the caterpillar are
distinctly seen, yet from the head is
growing The green sprout. with its

Lost by n Toy Balloon,

Diamonds and other jewels have been
lost in all sorts Of queer ways, but in
none more unusual than the accident
mentioned in the Boston Transcript, by
which a diamond brooch was snatched
from the owners dress and left some
where on the great plains. ~
y young was travelling by
rail through Kansas. At Kinsley, where
the train made a considerable stop, q
fair was in progress. Here the young
woman bought Of a peddler a toy bal
loon for a little girl who had won her
fancy.
The child was delighted with the
plaything, and as they rode along she
chatted with her new friend and pulled
the balloon up and down. AT length
she playfully fastened the string to the
lady's diamond brooch.
The train was rounding a curve at
the moment. and a strong gust of air
came through the car. The balloon was
carried out through the open window.
The sudden jerk IN the string loosened
the brooch. and away it sailed.
The jewel was so valuable that the
young woman offered q reward of $500
for its recovery, Spurred by this in.

for days in all directions, but without

How old is a Chinaman? Can you
give a good guess? 1t is harder to tell
than the age Of a negro; The Ghinaman
has no beard, and his hair is of a jet
and glossy %bIackness, which turns gray
only at an extreme age, when a Chuca.
sian head would be either snow white
or bald. Then again the Chinese have
the most perfect nervous system Of
any people in the world and do not
wrinkle up with age. They can stand
any amount of opium smoking without
material injury that would send a
white mar to his grave or an insane
asylum. So you have little to go by. A
Chinaman will look thirty when he is
twenty and when he is fifty. If you
ask him his age. he will place it at
least ten years ahead, for he holds old
age to be honorable. and among his
people he will be respected and looked
up to by all his ~juniors.-Washington

TORTURE
Curious Instruments That Were
Used In the Middle Ages.

Used In the Middle Ages.
In an old tower In Nuremburg there
IL a room set apart especially for the
preservation Of the curious Instruments
OF torture used during the uncertain
period historically referred to as the
middle ages.
In that room you can see thumb
screws Of the most approved pattern
closely arranged along shelves filed
with liar helmets" and "bridles" for
gossiping women. One horrid relic,
called the spike wheel" Is a heavy
cylinder, on one side Of which stand
out two or more score Of sharp iron
spikes. In days Of old when an Of
fender had been sentenced to undergo
4 rolling" he was stripped naked and
4rmly bound on a plank, face down.
In this position the spike wheel" was
elowly dragged up and down his back,
the number of times depending upon
the gravity Of the crime and the word
Ing of the sentence.
In several instances the poor victims
were prodded SO full Of holes that they
died before they could be removed from
the plank. When death was intended,
the number of rolls" was not specl-
fed, but double length spikes, heated

capital punishment was hardly as ex-

The votive pictures (yemay of Japa-

old custom. In ancient times departed
warriors were honored by offerings Of

ground that their spirits lowered
around their graves besides food a Ger.
tain number of spotless white horses
were provided with which these spir-
itual worthless might take recreation.
So 1t became the custom In wealthy
