OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
The Arrowhead.

Deep Graded in the forest clay,
Long lost, it snugly slept away
While winter, summer, passed 1T o'er
Through twice a hundred years, or
more;
While saplings into oaks ~upreared;
While rood by rood the land was
cleared;
Till glancing from the paleface pillow
It walked to meet the world of Now.
And on my study desk it lies,
A derelict, in mute surprise.
Where vanished is the em-rald
shade? J.
The aisles of the primeval glade?
The deer's shrill snort, the turkeys
call?
The Indians measured cultural?
The moccasin, the copper face,
The war-whoop, and the striped
grimace?
Perchance, could but thy tale be
told,
Some wrinkIed arrow-maker, old,
Another Minnehaha's sire,
Close crouching by his wigwam fire,
With patient labor, chip by chip
Slow wrought thee-barb, and edge,
and tip;
And striding over trunk and brook
A Hiawatha came-and took.
The mind may paint, but cannot
give
The breath to make its figures live.
Gone are the hands that shaped thee
so;
Gone is the warrior and his bow;
Gone is the quarry and the oak;
Gone are the wild, red forest-folk-
Like their own bolts forever sped;
Gone all thy world, o arrowhead.

Companion.

The Nest of a Digger Wasp.

George is an English boy who
helps me when we are at the farm in
summer. He is quite a character,
and always affects a great interest
in whatever [ am studying. This
spring we hunted cocoons, and
George sometimes=neglected import
ant work in order to surprise me
with a specimen. One morning, it
being rainy, he was painting chairs,
in the attic. I was polishing and
irons in the dining room, when /
heard an exclamation followed by sill
ence, then a quick tread over my.
head, a rush down the steep stairs,
an in came George carrying in his
hand a nest of the thread-waisted
wasp.
"See this cocoon, Mrs. Miller! We
haven't got one like this. Found it
on a rafter in the"
eyes," I interrupted, "you hold a
wasp's nest in your hand"
A lunge, a chair knocked over, a
door slammed, and George and the
wasp's nest had left the house. My
call to stop had no effect. I later
explained to him that some time
would elapse before he would need to
fear the contents. He then con
sented to hunt up another specimen.
and a search disclosed a goodly mum
Der. I broke one open to see and
let George see, what it contained.
This thread-waisted wasp (Pelo,
paeus cementarius) is n of the
digger wasps, and it's popular name
is derived from it's appearance. The
first segment of the abdomen is mar.

rowed into a long. round section,
and the front and rear portions of
the insect seem to connect by a
small tube. In old %attics, n often
sees its odd nests. The gray-brown
Md is arranged in delicate, over
tapping rounds, as if water had
dripped over the exterior walls.
No human mother could have
tucked her babies into their cradles
with more care than had this mother.
The male wasps die early in life, and
the work of making a home for the
children falls upon the female. For
each larva there was a little room,
the inside of which was very smooth.
The grubs varied in color from white
to buff, and we're incased in a me
inch sack, a cocoon made of what in
appearance was brown oiled silk.
These have also covers of grey silk
in shape, as George aptly said, like
capsuls of quinine, with little, dark,
hard plugs at one end, which found
[ could remove as n does the cork
of a bottle. At the opposite ends,
air chambers had been left for the
benefit of the larva, who did not quite
fill the entire space.
A few of the cells contained dead
spiders. However, when these spid-
ers were entombed they were not de-
void of life, but made helpless by
stings from their captors. She de-
sired that the food for her children
remain fresh as long as possible,
with no thought for the sufferings
of the poor spiders, but only a sell
fish instinct to provide for the larva
to be Matched from the eggs which
she had deposited in the snug mud
house.-Ellen r. Miller, in Ameri,

New Haven Dispatch to Washington
Post)

Mrs. Hattie B. Macdonald today set
I'D the original claim in the Superior
Court that going up in a balloon and
failing to come home again constitutes
desertion. She told Judge Wheeler that
her husband, Marion Macdonald, left her
four years ago to make a balloon ascen-
sion, and had never since shown up at
his home. she put two negroes on the
stand to testify that Macdonald was
lazy and did not support her whom he
was at home.
The court accepted her argument that
a balloon departure constituted deser-
ton, and granted her a divorce.

THE SECOND RACE.

New York. August 25.-Shamrock
III. was remeasured in the Erie Basin
for the third time Yesterday in orcer
to ascertain the length of her water
line with anchor and cable on board,
aud the difference between the first
figures taken was SO slight that her
time allowance will remain the same
II minute 81 seconds.
Mr.. Fife discovered on the morning
of the contest that resulted IN a tnke
that the challenger had been measured
without the anchor and cable on
board, and he So reported to Mr.. 1se-
lin: Mr. Iselin in turn communicated
with the regatta committee, which
notified the cup committee.
The new measurement was then de
cided upon and Shamrock sailed Satnr-
davis race subject to it.
The racers today were sent over a
triside, with one leg to windward.
As triangular course is always fas-
ter than one to windward and leeward
today's race was finished more quick
ly. Not one of the sharps doubted that
Reliance would win. 1t is curious
fact, however. that in triangular
race the winners may lead by greater
space of water than in straight away
race and yet show smaller gain in
time. The reason of this is found in
the greater speed of the Yachts when
sailing with sheets started.
There was smooth sea on this
morning when the yachts started for
the race course and there was seven
mile breeze, the first leg of the tri-

and hopeful as ever. All appeared to
believe that there would be different
story to tell if the race today is sailed
in fair racing wind.
THE START.
The preparatory gun was fired at

The wind had fallen at the start to
about 10 knots. The starting boat is

At 10 ;o5 the boats had gone about
two miles. with Shamrock in the lead.
Five minutes later Reliance hal gain

regained the lead and was nearing the

Both boats are making splendid
headway and it is difficult to tell
which is doing the better work. Sham

TALK ABOUT FRUIT CROP.
kelley Coonty horticultural society

Bes kelley Coonty horticultural society
Holds a Meeting Outlook Very Bright.
The Berkeley County horticultural
society held meeting in the court
house in this city Saturday afternoon.
when the condition OF the fruit crop
Throughout the country was thoroughly
discussed, especially the conditions
now prevailing in this county. The
attendance was large. hut the full
membership was not present.
Mr.. Alex Clolian, the president,
was in the chair. After the minutes
of the previous meeting were disposed
of. the committee on exhibits at the
meeting Of the state society. to be
held at Buchanan on September 3 and
4, asked all persons desiring to exhibit
fruit to leave same at the warehouse
of the Miller Storage Go. in this city,
where il will be packed and shipped
to the state meeting. The members of
the committee OH exhibits are II. L..
Smith. Gray Silver and ID. G. Miller.
During the general discussion of the
! outlook in this county, committee
was appointed to confer with buyers
and if prices could not be agreed up
on. the members were instructed to
arrange for the storage of the crop I'M
til prices we're satisfactory. This will
greatly simplify the handling of the
crop of the growers who are members
OF the horticultural sccietv. The
members of IT, committee are G.. w.
McKown, /. L. Bender and J. L.
Catrow
A discussion as to the probable Weld
of apples among the growers present
at the meeting brought forth the fact
that it would be about 80. 600 barrels.
This is regarded as very conserva-
tive estimate. and some growers think
that the entire WELD Of the county will
not fall far short of 100, 900 barrels.
Owing to the partial failure of the
apple crop in other sections of the
country, it is thought that there will
be an unprecedented demand for Ber-
kelley county frnit. and this will Dring
manv buyers here and put the prices
up to figure at which the growers
will Fell to advantage The outlook
is very encouraging.

angular course laid out was southerlv,
the first leg 10 windward.
The start was made PROMPTLY at
HOO. The official time of the start
was: Reliance HOO. SO. Sh smrock
IL OF. 90.
Reliance seemd tn outsail the chal-
lenger and in few minutes had a
lead of at least quarter of mile.
The wind had increased to eight miles
and it looked as if Rel ance would
round the first stake ahead of Sham
rock. The defender had increased the
lead to thrse-eiRhts of mile and
the wind WAS still freshening.
Reliance continued to increase her
lead and was apparently outpointing
Shamrock. On the next tack the de-
fender headed straight for SeabriRht.
but was interferred with by tank
steamer.
To those on the excursion boats it
appeared as il the Reliance was max
ing runaway race of it. Reliance
had gained lead of minute and
fifty-six seconds and was pointing
higher than the Upton boat.
Both boats had gotten within mile
and half of the first stake by twelve
O'Clock and it was apparent that Sham
rock had gained some on Reliance,
the next tack will send both boats
around the stake. Shamrock continued
to gain and was doing considerably
b tier work. A few minutes later Sham
rock secured the windward position
and had decreased the defenders lead
to quarter of a mile. At 10 :23 the
wind shifted again and materially
benefited the challenger.
