The deep well borings Of the United
States, made for water, oil and gas,
are the subject Of a statistical report
by N. n. barton, In the szries Of Wa
ter-Supply and Irrigation Papers of
the United States geological survey.
The list Of deep wells Is arranged by
states, in alphabetical order, and ap-

All wells 100 feet or over In depth are
carefully listed. Depth, diameter,
yield per minute, and other character.
istic data are given, and many instruc-
tive details are noted indicating for
what purpose the borings were orig

product obtained, and whether the
wells are In use or abandoned. For
the benefit OF persons desiring more
detsiled information concerning wells
in any particular region, references
are given to the literature or other
sources from which the data were OBJ
tanned. The large product Of natural
gas in the east and the west, the enor-

California, Texas and the east, and the
considerable and indispensable water
supply Furnished by the deep wells on

"Sam Elder told the doctors some

dinner about their own profession.
One about an old practitioner, who,
because of advancing years, had relin-
pushed all of his out-Of-town practice
to his young assistant. One night the
older physician was called on by two
men in buggy, one of whom wanted
the doctor to come to his house eight

LET THIS BE A WARNING.
Strange Series of Disasters That BE.
fell the StinGy Borrower
Of Paper.

A man who was too stingy to take
his home paper sent his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by his neigh
Dor, says the Kingston Leader. In his
haste the boy ran over 81 hive Of
bees, and in ten minutes he looked like
a warty squash. His cries reached his
father who ran TO his assistance, and
failing to notice a barbed wire fence,
ran into that, breaking it down, cut
ting q handful Of flesh from his
anatomy, and running 8 IS pair of
pants. The cow took advantage of
the gap in the fence and got into the
cornfeld and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket, the
wife ran, upset four gallon churn
full OF rich cream into basket of
kittens drowning them. In the hurry
she lost a 81 set of teeth. The baby,
left alone, crawled through the cream
and tho parlor, running a brand new
$50 carpet. During TIE excitement the
Oldest daughter ran away with the
hired man, the dog broke up II set
ting hens, and the calves got out and
chewed the tails off four fine night
shirts. The man could have had a
paper OF his own for 81 per year and
saved all the trouble and expense.

Quiet Auction Sales.

At the Crabbet sale of Arab horses
m American lady, who was among
the guests, expressed great contempt
for the quiet method of Mr.. latter
sail, the auctioneer, says the London
Chronicle. I'D like you to hear one
Of our auctioneers," she said. HE
would be an orator; and he would
make those prices jump. That man

explained to her that the auctioneer
knew that these tight-lipped, watch
full bidders had examined the horses,
knew as much about horses as he did,
and knew just how far they were 60
ing. He knew, too, that at the first
touch Of aoratory they would relight
cigars and go for q stroll till he had
finished. In this particular matter,

GAVE THE WRONG ROLL.
Best Man Makes Singular Discovery
in Dress Suit Year After
the Wedding.

Immediately after wedding which
took place in Washington the best
man started for South Africa, where
he remained more than year. On
his return, says writer in Harper's
Magazine, he was given dinner, and
wore evening clothes for the first time
since the wedding.
In the midst Of the evening, fumbling
in his waistcoat pocket, he astonished
himself and his friends by pulling out
q hundred-dollar bill. Where had it
come from? A sudden thought flashed
across his mind.
The next morning he went to the
clergyman who had married his
friends.
do you remember marrying Mr..
Armitage and Miss Bently about year
ago?"
"Oh, perfectly" replied the clergy
man. II see them constantly at my
church.
well, will you pardon me if ask
you delicate question in strict con-
fidence. How much did you receive as
your fee?"
II will return frankness with frank
ness" returned the clergyman, smil-
ing whimsically. "It was the strangest
fee that ever came my way. After the
ceremony the best man, with a pro-
fusion of thanks, slipped into my hand

EYES LIKE THE COLTS.
A Western HOrseman's Success i'm

York Slum Girl,

Five families had successfully vol

little "slum" girl, and the fifth had
Just sent her back to the arms of
the benevolent organization which
had charge of her. According to the
reports from these families, says the
New York Post, she was not only
an infant fury, but mendacious
sneak, and the agent who was TAX
aged at the prospect of having to
misrepresent in order to make a
sixth family take her.
A big, roadjawed man, friendly
with the spirit Of the west, sat down
beside him. Needing some one to
share his troubles, the agent told
him the whole story.
"I'll take that little girl" said the
stranger. The agent gasped.
"You know I told you what ter
ror she is" he said.
"I know" said the man, "but I
think she and I can get along all
right. 1 don't know that I told you

that little girl has eyes just like that

to my wife and tell her about it,"
The sequel to the story is the
most satisfactory part of it. The
stockman's prediction proved true.

wASHINGroN's FACE IN STONE
the Boston Post Road After
Z BlaSt.

Where the old Boston post road
turns toward Orienta Point, just
south OF Mamaroneck, the rock adj
joining the old Disbrow house was
blasted away about Is years ago to
improve the grade, says the New
York Tribune. A ragged, rocky wall
was left, and nothing peculiar was
noticed In 1t until last Auugst, when
the wife of q well-known resident
on the point, while driving to the
village, suddenly saw the features of
Washington in the stone. She looked
again and again, and the more care
fully she scrutinized the rock the
more distinctly she saw the features
OF the father of his country.
The woman told her friends Of her
discovery, and they told others, and
within q month all Orienta Point
and most of Mamaroneck hadagazcd
upon the striking accidental likeness.
It IL not at all difficult to see when
one Is told 1t may be found there,
and is in plain view for distance
of nearly 100 yards to within one
fourth rs many feet. The image is
about six feet the longest way and
about four the other way across.
The eyes, nose and mouth are nat
urally darker spots In the stone,
which, being apparently softer than
the remainder of the mass, broke
out to a greater depth, 30 the image
is there in bas-relief az well as in
color. The outside Of the face il al
most perfectly formed by the edges
OF tho broken rock. The image is
best lighted from IL o'clock until
1880 on sunny days.

To Teachers and School Officers.

The great purpose of education, after
all, is not the accumulation of stock
of facts, figures, rules and theories, but
rather the developing and training Of
brain power to know, to do and to appre-
ciate the good that this life affords.
School sessions, book knowledge and
facts are necessary means to the end Of
education, we believe, but the primary
purpose of education is to aid in making
life full of the most pleasureable and
profitable experiences. Believing the
above to be true we can cOnScientiOusly
recommend that you close your schools
on Friday, Sept. 26, in order to afford
yourselves and the children an OppOr-
tunity to attend the Jefferson County
Fair. The authorities have decided to
make Friday instead of Wednesday, of
Fair week, "Children's Day." On that
day all children below Is years may be
admitted free Of charge. No tickets will
be needed.
EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT.

made. Again the association will allow
us 800 for premiums. We would like
every teacher and pupil to take an inter-
est in the department. this year; do try
to send in some specimen of work. It
will do all good. If you have not pre-
MUM list write O. F. Roessler, Secre-
tary, Jefferson, for copy. Teachers
who did work at the Institute in Manual
Training will please send the work to-
gether with any that you are able to get
the pupils to do, to us. 1t will be enter
ed under miscellaneous. Please see that
all other work has on it the proper
number under which you wish to enter.
Try and send in all work before We'd
nesday, Sept. "a. The time is very short
this year so you will have to get right
to work collecting maps, charts, essays,
copy books, language work, note books,
etc, if you are to have good display
from your school. Again, let us urge
everyone to do something to make the
Educational Department this year bet
ter than ever before.
We wish to earnestly invite every
person who visits the Fair to examine
| the Children's work. Last year it re-
| ceived, as it we'll deserved, more atten-
| tentiOn than any one other department.
| This year it is going to be worth your
| time to come from any part of the
county to see. Yours truly,

CORI:

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to dc

THANK goodnessw exclaimed Mou-
settle, ''for every bone in my body aches
as If some one had beaten me-"
AS the time passed, bringing with it
no storm, l began to think we were
safe from that annoyance, and at last
from the crest of a hill over which we
were riding we suddenly came in sight
OF St Yriarte lying below us in a little
valley AS we did so Lalande called
out, eve will be there in half an hour,
madame, and save all chance of a wet
ting for tonightr'
1t took us little time to descend the
slope of the hill, but after that we
came to more or less level ground and
in Il few moments reached the gates of
the inn, which stood in a somewhat
large garden some way apart from the
hamlet, for st. Yriarte could be called
by no other name.
AS we rode in a dog commenced to
bark. Lalande called out: Jeanne!
Jeannew And, on our hating near the
entrance, gay with honeysuckle in full
bloom, Lalande's sister and her hus-
band came out to meet us and, seeing
him, fell to embracing him, and there
was an animated converse carried on
by all three at once while Mousette
and | were kept waiting. While we
did this patiently began to look
around me and for the first time be-
came aware of the presence of a stran-
ger He had been sitting on a garden
seat, half hidden by the falling honey
suckle, but as my eyes fell on him he
rose politely and stood as if in doubt
whether he should offer to assist me to
dismount or not He was tall, well
built man, with aquiline features, fair
hair and blue eyes, and wore a short,
pointed beard slightly tinged with
gray. His dress was simple, though
rich, and it was easy to see that, who
ever he was, he was a person of some
consequence. The position was getting
just little absurd when Jeanne's voice
rang out sharply:
"Of course! OF course! Nine. de
Lorgnac shall have the best we can
| prONlue.
81 saw the stranger start perceptibly,
and an odd, curious look came into his
eyes. Then, as if with an effort, he
stepped forward and, lifting his hat,
said with foreign accent:
"Will Nine. de Lorgnac permit me to
assist her to alight? | have the honor
to be known to NJ. lie Chevalier de
Lorgnac. My name is Norreys-Colonel
Norreys-of whom perhaps you may
have heard"
l became almost sick with fear and
apprehension, for this was the very
man whom | last wished to meet 1t
was he who had borne the order con-
corning me to De Termes. He must
therefore be aware that my presence
there meant that was in fight. He
acknowledged himself to be friend Of
my husband, and l felt that all was
lost. Mastering up as much courage
as could, | thanked him for his offer,
