HERMIT OF BOG MOUNTAIN.
Cuts Ten Tons of Hay Yearly and Gets
It in on a Wheelbarrow.

W1lmot IN. HID Corr. Boston Advertiser.
At the base Of Bog mountain is a farm
under cultivation. owned and carried on by
Silas Prescott. There is no highway lead
ing into this place. About seventy-five
years ago there was a large family of boys,
sons of Samuel Prescott, settled on or near
Prescott hill. One of these, Josiah. about
sixty years ago cleared up few acres of
tilIage and built house at the base OF Bog
mountain. Much of the lumber he carried
on his back from the highway, a distance
of half a mile. He lived there the remain
Ing part Of his life Five children were
born on this farm.
One Of them, SilaS B., now fifty-four
years Of age, has always lived on the birth
place. His father died in 1876 and his
mother In 1891. Mr.. Prescott lives alone
the town giving him his taxes on condition
that he ask for no highway. A reporter
called upon him and ascertained that he
lived alone. had ten acres of tilage, cut
about ten tons of hay, and gets 1t in on a
wheelbarrow. His great hobby is keeping
bees and he has the business down fine,
some years receiving large returns. This
year the bees are a failure as to honey. They
are so tame with him that he can spread
honey on his face, lie down on the grass
and the bees will come and take the honey
away and do not sting him. He handles
them without any fear.
Mr.. Prescott says he never gots lonely.
He spends great deal of time in hunting
and fishing, and in the season for them
gets very many skunks. He says he has
caught as many as four of these odoriferous
animals in a night without dog. He takes
lantern on his arm and sets out for a
nights hunt A bride path leads from the
fourth New Hampshire turnpike to his
place. The darkest stormiest night has
no terror for him. Mr.. Prescott once won q
bag Of meal on a wager that he could carry
1t home. distance of two miles, letting
down and putting up two pairs of bars
himself, without setting the meal down.
For diet he uses crackers, canned goods.
fish. game and berries in their season. The
reporter asked him how he would like a
woman to keep house for him. He had
good many ifs in his answer. He seems
to enjoy his mode of living well as any
he could have. In winter he cuts some
wood and lumber. but summer winter
work Is not allowed to interfere with his
interest in sport or recreation.
For several years he was q member Of
Messer Rifles, Company A, Sd Regiment
N. H. N. G. He was obliged to walk eight
miles. and was one of the most regular at
tendants at the company meetings. lie was
counted one of the best. and gave credit
to his company, taking great interest In it
and its affairs.

AsIATIC MAILS.
Changes in the Seattle Post Office to
Facilitate Them

From the American Asiatic.
Perhaps the most difficult section of the
duties of the foreign mails, office of the
United States Post Office Department is
that of Asiatic malls. Recently there have
been some changes in the methods of the
department., and particularly toward
quicker dispatch. Among these ichanges is
the assignment to the Seattle Office Of the
making UP of inward and outward malls
for all sailings and arrivals of mail steam
ships OF the ports of Seattle Tacoma and
Vancouver and Victoria in connection with
all territory north Of Canton insEast Asia
This includes all the vessels OF; the Great
Northern or Nippon YuSen Kaisha COM
pany, the Nortfarn Pacific Steamship Com
pany and the Royal Mail Steamship Com
pany, sailing to and from Japanan China
The territory involves China .Sand coast
points south, Jauan, Siberia and Corea.
The duties of the foreign depan&ment of the
Seattle post office are particularly rsspon-
sible in the proper assignment of mails to
the East Asiatic distributing points. And
In the absence of Asiadic detailed geograph-
ic intelligence by the general public. and
also due to the general ignorance of the
post office geography, prompt dispatch
is often impossible. Mail often reaches this
point from interior United States office g.
being wrongly directed by the addressor,
which has to be redirected via New York
This Is particularly the case with mail
for British India, the Dutch East Indies and
other important trading points not within
the trans Pacific mail turisdictiOn, Mails
are made up at Seattle for Japan, whence
Corean and Siberian mail Is distributed.

pendent on Honglkong distribution. Mall is

Certain gestures are absolutely identified
with certain feelings. To shake ones fist
is to threaten; to hold up ones finger is to
warn To indicate thought we place the tips
of the fingers on the forehead; to show con-
centrated attention we apply the whole
hand. To rub the hands Is everywhere q
sign of joy. and to clap them sign of en-

and harsh; he speaks briefly, brusquely; he
is cold, positive, forceful. His saiutation Is
cold and accumulated. but his handshaks Is

Ararat.
From the Westminster Gazette.


Mount Ararat, on which eight mountain
GERS have Just had a narrow escape from
death, attracted the attention of explorers
at an early date. Sir John Vaudeville esti-
mated that 1t was seven miles high. Tourne-
fort, the French botanist, attempted the as
cent early in the eighteenth century, failed,
and described the mountain as lone of the
most dismal and disagreeable sights on the
face Of the earth A little later Persian
shah offered large reward to any one who
should get up, but no one claimed It. Ulti-
mately. the first ascent was climber who
gave his name to the Parrot Spite of Monte
Rosa. The second ascent was made by one
Spassky Aftonomof, in 1884. and the third
by Herr Abich. in 1S45. The first English
ascent was made by Mr.. Bryce. in 1876 and
since that date ascents have been tolerably
frequent.

Abandon the Welsh Language.
From the Pittsburg Post.

A petition was filed in common pleas
court No. 2, yesterday for the dissolution
of the Welsh Congregational Association of
Western Pennsylvania, an organization
composed of Welsh Congregational Churches
for the carrying on of mission work 1t is
explained that during recent years SO many
of the former Welsh churches had aban-
'doned the use of the native language, and
had adopted the English. that 1t was prac-
tically useless to continue the association
as Welsh organization. In consequence. a
new organization Of the old churches was
completed few months ago. and the work
was continued the same as before, but not
as a Welsh body.
