EierIc-.G NsstprI,

The great objection to electric no
tors-that they will not run far enough
without recharging-is said to be over
come. Recently in England a circuit
OF "a miles was run without recharg.
Ing. 1t was done with q battery CT 4:
four-plate cells, with a capacity CT 13i
ampere-hours. The carriage was Z
four-wheel dogcart with two motors c;
two and half horsepower each. Tho
secret Of the battery which enabled ii
to make such a record was that il
going down grade the motors were re,
versed, thus making dyranos 70!
charging the accumu]ators. II this
way the current was not only saved
but a new current actually generated
rendering the battery stronger at tbs
bottom OF the grade than it was at TIC
top.

Timkins Is one of those jccular per.
sons who derive their happiness from
jests and practical jokes at the expense
Of their fellow-creatures.
One Of his favorite diversions is t.
pretend to have discovered a piece OF
money in public vehicle, the point
Of the joke being that almost always
there will be several claimants for the
imaginary coin, mostly people who will
look extremely sheepish and wretched
on discovering that they have pervert-
ed the truth to no purpose.
But it does not always fall out in
this way.
On the last occasion on which he
practised this merry jest it was in a
railway carriage of an excursion train.
Only one person claimed the half
crown which Timkins protested to have
discovered, and this was a thick-set
man with forbdding type of coun-
tenance.
He demanded the coin with such a
ferocity of tone that Timkins betrayed
some trepidation as he explained that
it was only a joke
'Io, it's a joke. is it," said the
thickset man, with an ominous ex-
preston of face. e says it's a Joke!
| IL teach i'm whether it's a joke or not.
Now, then, young feiler. gimme that
'arf-crown that | dropped, or one of
us 'ull 60 out of the carriage winder,
and it won't be me-"
Timkins looked despairingly round,
but there was no promise OF sympathy
or support in the faces Of the other
passengers. So with a sgckiy smile he
drew forth hall-crown, handed 1t to
the claimant (who grinned with graft
fed cupidity), and skunk out OF the
carriage at the next station, the victim
Of his own joke.-Tit-Bits

Moving o Giant Mammoth,

A giant mammoth skeleton, un.
earthed some time ago in East Siberia
will be brought to st. Petersburg in
the coming winter. The task of con-
veying it is most formidable one
as the distance to Irkutsk, which is the
nearest railway station, is some 5000
miles" The skeleton will have to he
cut up and treated with arsenic, each
portion being incased in cowhide, in
order to prevent the air affecting it.
AS far as Yakutsk the river Lena will
be utilized, but from there nearly 20OO
miles of swampy forest will have to be
traversed. The conveyance will be e.
fected in sleighs, and it is calculated
that at least SO horses will be required
70 draw them.

The ART OF FRIENDSHIP.
The Times, 1t Seems, Are Opposed to En-.
during Friendship.

There is a reason for a suspicion, i
not more than a suspicion, that the
| art of friendship is dead among Us
| The friendship of the ancients, both
of Greece and Rome, was very exact
ing. In modern times we should look
long day for such mutual regard as
that of Damon and Pythias, which

as Swift described it, the friendship
of the middling kind But rarely dc
we see the stubborn, st0iCal, mutual
regard which Cicero describes, sell
annihilatory, seeking for excellence.
priceless, rich in trust and confidence
The emphasis of the element Of choice
in friendship, with its cOncomtant.
the Punishment of the element OF
spontaneous affection, has done much
to render true friendship impossible
and to bring about the present de-
cay of the art.
It is unfortunate in unitarian LAY
that we cannot likewise choose our
parents. Friendship is fallen from its
ideals. The friendship described Ly

a friend for John Smith, there is
Thomas Robinson who could assist
him in business, or Joseph Jones who
would be that priceless of friends, in
the modern computation, the friend

We forget the primary necessity that
John Smith must love his friend; we
overlook the fact that as yet science
has not discovered process of vac
whereby affection may be
or infused John Smith
may choose valet or private secre-
tary, and If blythe same process he
chooses a friend, that friend will be,
in greater or less degree, an employe. |
Hence it is that the wide preaching
OF the doctrine Of choice has ousted
friendship from the category of ten

national but personal affairs, that the
Stole who does not even cOnfide in

PASSING OF THE CACTUS.

When the first Franciscan Fathers
Iourneyed north from Mexico into Ari-
IONA they carried back reports Of the
great cactus which covered the plains
If the new country, and told about Its
food value to the Indians. Now, as
the art Of the American has reclaimed,

The magic water has made orange,
peach and apricot orchards and great
fields Of alfalfa, the saguara has been
driven out, and only IN spots whore

On the rocky, graTol,y nesas, ths
saguaras, the largest Of the cactus
family point their candida brum-like
arms straight toward the sky, not in

feet. The body Of the saguaGa, some
times two feet in thickness, Is com
posed of thin pieces of porous wood,
arranged in the form Of a Corinthian
column, covered and held together by
the outside fibre Of pale green.
At some distance from the ground
large branches put out, while the
whole surface is covered with sharp,
prickly thorns. A large, white, some
times purple blossom comes forth
sarly in the spring and ripens into
2ear-shaped fruit by the last Of June
This fruit, the netahaya. tastes Ike

guara was the occasion O. the greatest
orgy Of the year. From the fruit
highly intoxicating beverage was
made. With this the Indians drank
themselves into state Of frenzied in
toxication. During the feasts num-
Der Of the braves were frequently

The saguara Is short-lived, although
tradition has given it en- age measured

Famous Bule Grass Method
of Curing Hams.

\ lady sends the following to the
Frederick Md. Examiner:
Il notice that all the progressive farm
ers' wives are interested in the best
methods of curing meat. and i'll the ex-
port trade and pork products. etc. This
excellent recipe for curing hams and
shoulders was given to me by "A farmer
noted for his delightful hams and sweet
juicy bacon. 1t has been used for years
since. in our family with unvarying
success, and found ont that the great
packing houses use pretty much the
same method of curing their meat.
when the meat is taken up to be
dried. wash it clean in hot water and
while damp sprinkle powdered borlx
all over the fieshy side of every piece,
aud YOU need never fear shippers or any
other insects, although our hams hung
in the smoke house until cured without
even sack on them If the summer
is very dry. re.wash and put more
b0rax on IL July and August The
taste OF the meat ie not injured Each
ham may be tied up IN a canvas. or
paper bag. or it may be left hanging in
cool dry place When wanted for use,
the meat will be found j0icy and sweet.
Shoulders may be- cured in the same
way =
The English cunnoiSSeurs wont have
their hams cured in any other way. and
they say that our hams are the very
finest in the world The city of Liver
pool takes 20090 boxes of our bacon
weekly Our Christmas hams cannot
be- surpassed.
