the grounds run back level. and, stand. ing at the waters edge, fix your eyes on the opposite bank Now, move your hat down over your brow until the edge of the brim Is exactly on line with the water-line on the other side This will give you visual angle that may be used on any level surface, and if, as has been suggested, the ground on your side of the river be flat, you may Hay off, corresponding distance on it. To do this you have only to hold your head perfectly steady, after getting the angle with your hat brim, supporting your chin with your hand, If necessary, and turn slowly around until your back is toward the river. Now, take careful note of where your hat brim cuts the level surface of the ground as you look over the latter. and from where you stand to that point will be the width of the river-a distance that may readily be measured by stepping. If you are careful in all these details you can come within a few feet of the rivers width Detroit Free Press.

Bray's Enemy.


 "Please, Mir. Joynes. there's little boy at the back gate to see you"
 At the back gate? Bring him In, Peter"
 He won't come in, sir; says he's aw- full busy, and hasn't got time."
 How big is he?"
 About as big as my fist, sir." said Peter.
 The good-natured gentleman went out to the back gate. Well, country man." he said pleasantly, what can l do for you?"
 boy-took off a soft, dirty hat, and held 1t behind him. i've come to tell you, sir. that Bray's got to be killed"
 Bray, my big Newfoundland dosf And who sent you here with that in formation? asked the gentleman. los ing all his pleasant looks.
 Nobody sent me-" answered the boy, stoutly. I've come by myself. Bray has runned my sheep free days. He's got to be killed"
 Where did you get any sheep" asked Mir. Joynes.
 My sheep are MT. Ransoms. He gives me 15 cents a week for watching 'em."
 Did you tell MT. Ransom that Bray had been running them?"
 No, sir. telled you"
 "Ah. that is well. I don't want to kill Bray. Suppose I give you 15 cents a week for not telling MT. Ransom when Bray runs his sheep. How would that do?'
 As soon as the little shepherd got the idea into his head, he scornfully rejected it. "That'ud be paying me for a lie," he said indignantly. "1 wouldn't tell lies for all the money in the world"
 When he said this. MT. Joynes took off his own hat, and reached down and took the small dirty hand in his. "Hur- rah herdsman" said he. Il beg your pardon for offering you bribe. Now I know that the keeper of Mir. Ran soms sheep is not afraid of man four times his size, but that he Is afraid of lie Hurrah for you. I am going to tell Mir. Ransom that if he doesn't raise your wages. l shall offer you twice 15 cents, and take you into my service. Meantime Bray shall be shut up while your sheep are on my side of the hill. Will that do? All right then. Good morning, countryman."-En Magazine.

In Savage Lands.

Travelling in Portuguese Africa Is thus described by recent writer: As soon as one gets into the interior there is an absence of roads and a great paucity of government military sta tions or trading posts. The country is slightly policed. The consequence is that the negro bearer who carries his rubber has long, dangerous, difficult journey and Is robbed of a portion of his stock from time to time; and when he returns to his village if his chief be informed that there Is smallpox on the coast he is likely to be summarlly shot by his own people. They have simple but very effective quarantine methods among the natives in Africa"
 The dangers of travel in TripOli are thus described by United States Con ul-General Skinner of Marseilles: There Is always more or less risk In volved In travelling. MT. Dodson was accompanied by two Zeptias, sent by the governor general, his own assistant. A head Arab and five others. They mar rowly escaped being ambushed by | wandering tribe. This danger is more remote at Cyrene, as the authority of the government Is acknowledged along the coast. However, 1t Is always well to be provided with good, light sporting riAac

Biggest Railroad Station.

The city of St. Louis now possesses the distinction of having the largest railway station in the United States. It, Is 63O feet long and coo feet wide. and has thirty tracks, enough to han dle ten incoming and ten outgoing trains simultaneously. It Is known as the Union Station, and the territory owned by the company operating 1t covers twenty-seven acres.
 The city of Boston has the next to the largest station for passenger ser vice In the country. The Union Sta ton in Boston, on the north side, has a length of 500 feet, width of 46O feet and twenty-three tracks.
 Both of these huge stations are to be surpassed by the new Southern Union Station in Boston, upon which work was begun in January, 1S97 and which is now nearing completion. It is designed to be the biggest railroad station in the United States. The walls are built, the steelwork is all in place, and the material Is on the ground for the completion of the structure.-The Ledger Monthly.

COL. LORD DIED A REClUSe.
Strange Career of Uncle of Benjamin
 Harrison's Widow.

Col. John II. Lord. for thirty years tlement ten miles west of Port Jervis, recently, at the age of S5 years. He was born at Rome, N. r., and became protege of the well-known civil en- gineer John B. Jervis, after whom Port Jervs was named, and assisted him in the construction of the Croton aqueduct, New York City.
 Nearly fifty years ago Col. Lords family was among the most prominent ill northeastern politics, and he exer- cisel tremendous power In the policy of the Keystone State. He was a mem Der of the Pennsylvania militia, and belonged to Gov. ". F. Packers staff. At the time his brother, Russell F. Lord, was at the head of the manage ment of the now abandoned Delaware and Hudson canal. Col. Lord was his lieutenant, and next to him in author. ity. He was an uncle by marriage of President Benjam Harrison's first wife and blood uncle of his widow.
 Some eighty years ago q bank was established in Honesdale, Pa, and John Neal was it's first cashier. He had daughter who afterward became the wife of Col. Lord. Mrs. Neaps sis ter was the wife of the Rev. Dr. Scott, professor in Washington College, Washington, Pa, and they had two daughters, Carrie and Elizabeth. They visited their aunt, Mrs. John r. Lord, in, IInnAslaIa al r,,f I eventually marriel Russell F. Lord, who had become q widower and was several years her senior. The other sister was visited in Honesdale by President Harrison then young h. diana lawyer, and their acquaintance ripened into marriage. Mir and Mrs. Russell Lord had daughter. who is now the widow of President Harri. son and niece of his first wife.
 After the Civil War the Lords lost their prestige and the decedent became irregular in his habits and finally lost his wealth. For number of years he worked at odd jobs at the late Win throp w. Gilman's tannery in Sullivan County, and in lumber mills, and sud denly disappeared from his family and lived apart from his fellow man in an isoatel cabin in the mountains west of Port Jervis. A few years ago the cabin was burned. says New York Times special, and Col. Lord resided with residents of Rio. He Is survived by one son, a wealthy retired merchant of Philadelphia, whose repeated offers

ROOSEvElT'S ROSE.
Treasured Keepsake of Bright.Eye
 Little Girl

Little Etadorpha Knapp, little lady of , years, living in Cincinnati, has n pretty little keepsake that she will treasure all her life. When President Roosevelt was in that city during the Fall Festival little Miss Knapp was among the throng that surrounded the St. Nicholas steps, her bright eyes spread wide in eager anticipation. To her the event was more than an incl dent. if u"7 an event of vast lm- DOT tance. Tu Il o-!ear-oiu the presi- dent of the United States is much more than a mere Teddy Roosevelt; he is a wonderful being, not at all like other men, but of such materials as the he- roes of history and fiction are made.
 The crowd behind her pushed and crowded and got impatient during the long delay, but this little miss was too much pleased to note the pass ing of time. She just kept her eyes upon the door Of the hotel, like kit ten watching Its first mouse hole, so as to be sure not to miss the very first sight of the president.
 At last the doors swung open and some gentlemen came out. Then little Miss Knapp's heart bounded in her throat, for there came the president. There could be no mistake about that. She had seen his picture so many times that she knew him at once.
 At the presidents buttonhole there nodded a splendid big American Beauty rose, and here comes the whole point, of the story, for as the president swung down the stone steps with his free, vigorous strides to get in the waiting carriage that was to take him to Music Hall, that beautiful rose gave an extra hard nod, perhaps at the eager-eyed lit tie girl who was watching it, and alas. nodded Its pretty head off.
 To jump forward and secure 1t was only the work of moment for the nimble-footed young lady of 5, and then she shrank back, all at once trembling at her boldness. But she had the rose safe and sound.
 Just as she sprang to the sheltering skirts of her aunt the president turned and saw what had happened and gave the little girl a smile that showed all his teeth. Then he clambered into the carriage and drove away.
 Little Miss Etadorpha has that rose yet, and she means to keep 1t all her life, and when she Is a gray-headed grandma she will have pretty little tale to tell about the faded rose leaves that lie pressed so neatly in the family album.

A Puuctual Bird.

What tempts the little humming bird that we see in our gardens to travel ev- cry spring from near the equator to as far north as the arctic circle, leaving behind him, as he does, for season, many tropical delights: He is the only one of many humming birds that pluck fly leaves the land of gayly colored birds to go into voluntary exile in the north, east of the Mississippi. How 1t stirs the imagination to picture the soil tary, tiny migrant, mere atom Of bird life, moving above the range of human sight through the vast dome of the sky, says Neltje Blanchan in Country Life in America. He covers the thousands Of miles between his winter home and his summer one by easy stages and arrives at his chosen destination at approxi- mately the same date year after year.

What Q Baby Bee Knows.

When one thinks that any bee that walks out of Its cradle, pale, perhaps, but perfect, knows at once all that is to be known of the life and duties of a bee. complicated as they are, and con- prising the knowledge of an architect, a wax modeler, a nurse, lady's maid, a housekeeper. a tourist agency and a field marshal, and then compares that vast Knowledge with that possessed by the human baby, who Is looked upon as a genius if it gurgles ''goo'go and tries to gouge It's mothers eyes out with Its fingers, one realizes that the boast ed superiority of the human brain de- pends largely upon human vanity London World.
