The most reckless spendthrift in the
world is the one who squanders time.
Money lost may be regained, friend
ships broken may be renewed, houses
and lands may be sold or buried or
burned, but may be bought or gained
or built again. But what power can
restore the moment that has passed,
the day whose sun has set, the year
that has been numbered with the ages
gone?

a glacier when it dislodges itself and
sails away over the Arctic ocean never
travels alone. In the wake of every
large one floats line of similar COM
panions. The Eslimos call this phe-
nomenon ''the duck and ducklings,"
and any one who has watched the
progress of the wild duck followed by
her brood will appreciate the aptitude
of the name. Strange as it may seem,
plants grow and blossom upon these
great ice mountains. When glacier
is at rest moss attaches itself to it,
protecting the ice beneath, just as
sawdust does. After a time the moss
decays and forms a SOIL in which the
seeds of buttercups and dandelions
brought by the wind, take root and
flourish. Those who have Travelled
much in arctic lands say the poppy
does not bloom during the brief north
ern summer.

PROPER CARVING OF FOWLS.
illustration of the Scriptural Method
by Monk for His
r. Hostess.

A scriptural method of carving fowls
when in secular company was claimed
by witty monk, who, having been asked
TO carve one day, said: 'Inasmuch as
you demand it, will carve the fowl ac-
Icording to biblical principles" Eyes, "
exclaimed the hostess, "act according to
the scriptures.
! The theologian therefore began the
carving, relates the Chicago Daily News.
The baron was rendered the head of the
FOWL, the baroness the neck, the two
daughters wing apiece, and the two
sons first joint, the monk retaining
the remainder. According to what in
depreciation do you make such a d.
vision?" inquired the host of his confess
Or, as he regarded the monks heaping
plate and the scant portions doled out to
the family. From an Interpretation of
my own" replied the monk. CAS- the
master of your house the head belongs
to you by right; the baroness, being
most near to you should receive the
neck, which is the nearest to the head !;
In the wings the young girls will recog-
nize symbol of their mobile thoughts
that fly from one desire to another; as
to the young barons, the drumsticks
they have received will remind them
that they are responsible for supporting
your house, as the legs of the capon sup
port the bird itself"

THIS MAN OWNED 600 WIGS.
Mania of the Fifth Duke of Portland
for Collecting Odd Pieces
of Headgear.

Continuing the list of curious paral-
lels which the new claimant to the duke
dom of Portland alleges to have existed
between the fifth duke of Portland and
Mr.. bruce, the London Express gives
some facts about the mania for wigs
which is said to have been common to
both men. A representative has had
an interview with the perruquier, who,
for about ~ years, was in constant at
tendance on Che fifth duke.
1.-THE first time 1 ever saw the duke"
this man stated, was about the year
1850. l was sent around to Cavendish
house by Mr.. Truefitt to supply the duke
with a new wig. These he was perpetu-
ally ordering. There was small wicket
window on each side of the front door.
When l rang the. bell noticed that an
old butler was peering at me through the
glass.
Eat last, after tremendous lot of I'M
boiling, the door was opened, and l was
admitted to the house and conducted
upstairs to a room about 20 feet square.
The walls were honey-combed with pig
eonholes, and each one of these con-
tanned wig. There must have been at
least 600 of them"

MOUNTAINEERS.
Strange Beliefs and Customs Prac-
ticed Among These Simple
Minded People.

In his article on "Our Appalachian
People," in Harper's Magazine, Julian
Ralph tells of the curious shyness of
these people of the Cumberland noun
tains and of their fear of anything
new and advanced.
"Incidents illustrative of some of
these traits are the following" he
says: "a man living on 'Hell-for-sar-
tain, creek refused to allow his sick
baby to be taken to hospital at Berea
college, because he argued, if she's
a-goin' to live, she'll git well, anyhow,
/ reckon, and 1 don't guess, if she's
a-goin' to die, nothin' we kin do won't
save her. Again, a man on Bullskin
creek, in explaining why his child died,
said that no one couldn't make her
take no medicine. She just wouldn't
take it. She was Baker through and
through, and you never could make a
Baker do nothin' he didn't want to do
A mountaineer in Tennessee heard his
wife complain that, no matter how
hard she churned and no matter what
she did, she could not make butter
Clay's doin's,' said the husband. I'll
soon fix her. He proceeded to draw
the figure of woman on a sheet of
paper. and when he finished he marked
with an oval the place where her heart
would be. He pinned the paper on the
wall of his log cabin, melted silver
coin in the form of a bullet, took down
his rifle, aimed at the drawing and shot
the bullet through the oval. He be-
lieved that a neighbor named Nancy
Clay-presumably an old spinster of
shrewish temper or meddling DISPOSE
tion-had bewitched the milk, and that
by shooting her through the heart in
the drawing he could cause her to
sicken and die. This is a very ancient
notion found in one form or another
among the red Indians, the negroes,
the Asiatics and many other old races"

SELECTING A WATERMELON.
Uhere Are a Number of Ways, But This
h. One Is said to BE Better
Ii;g Than Any.

: Good, sound watermelons, not
cracked, kept in shady place, will keep
three or four weeks. Many attempts
have been made to keep them all winter,
but the fruit preservers have not made
much of a success of it, says the New
York Herald.
The scene at the great freight piers is
q busy one when cargo of watermelons
comes in. News Of the arrival is soon
spread among the dealers. and at what
ever hour in the day or night 1t may be,
the trucks of the commission merchants
or dealers crowd the piers.
No attempt is made to handle the mel
pns in bulk or in barrels. They must be
passed out from hand to hand, and long
Zines of men are formed for this purpose
There is always crowd Of youngsters
Italians and negroes-at the depot to
catch stray melon that is cracked or
broken, and the dismembered parts are
soon gobbled and disappear in a gulp.
There are various ways of telling a
good watermelon. Some persons say
they can, by pressing the'sides together,
hear, in good, sound, ripe melon, pc
culiar sound of crispness like that Of
celery A well-known expert gives these
directions:
Lay the melon on It's back, with white
part up, scratch the skin of the lightest
part with your finger nail. If the skin
Is tender and the melon Is yet firm to the
pressure of the finger, so that you can
with difficulty pierce 1t with your nail,
ut is probably good melon"

TELEGRAPH IN MOROLAND.
Signal Men Have Many Destructive
Enemies of the Wires to
Contend With.

In the field it was our practice to
throw up fly, canvas, or sometimes
only shelter half, and under this place
the instrument and get to work
sending and delivering messages with
the wire on the ground. If possible,
gangs of natives were secured and light
poles put up to string the wires. II
permanency of the camp were assured,
then the corps would undertake to es-
tablish a good line on cocoanut or 9TH
er strong poles. But in garrison, one
has only to look for coy nook in one
of the Spanish forts and here he finds
not only excellent quarters for office
work, but a good place to sleep in, says
the Engineering Magazine
The Spanish took every precaution to
protect their telegraph and signal tow
ers, and usually employed one of the
corner or end towers of the fort for the
purpose. There is no possible means
for entering at the front or sides, be-
cause it is all solid masonry. The rear
door is about rs feet above the ground,
and is reached by steps. These steps
can be hauled up for protection. There
are several port holes in the tower, and
as the signal men are properly armed.
a good resistance could be made in the
event of a Moro attack
The signal men have three or four
classes of enemies of the wires to deal
with. First, there are the ladrone
Moros, who chop out sections of the
wire for the sake of the wire for me-
chanical use on their farms. Then
there are the foes who cut down poles
and fell trees across the wires and the
like to cut off communication and you
have to travel out in the rains or the
night with small guard and half
dozen linemen to repair the break.
Then the white ants are a bother, for
they eat the woodwork of the poles in
places in a few months, and the pole
topples over. Then there are the gales
that sweep debris on the wires and stop
operations. Earthquakes have occurred
twice in the past year with such vio-
lence that the wires have been wrecked
along mountain sides by landslides.

Beauty of n Forest Fire.

In spite of the fact that thousands
of dollars worth of timber was be-
ing destroyed, the people of Blaine
say that the forest fires on Mars Hill
mountain recently furnished a glo-
rious and awful spectacle. 1t was
in reality a mountain of fire, the
flames roaring in all the fury of a
demon. Here and there some mon
arch of the forest, all afame, would
be silhouetted for an instant against
the sky. it's branches aglow with
rows of tiny lights. Then a gust of
wind would cause the flames to leap
and tear from limb to limb. Instead
of burning tree, it looked like a
huge bonfire, with nothing definite
and distinct, except the wild sheet of
flame. A leap from this charred,
naked tree to another, and then the
spectacle would be repeated with
a new victim. On the other side of
the mountain the fire seemed to en-
velop everything. Transforming the
forest into a monster of destruction,
against which man was powerless.-

And listen to its murmuring song
In beech trees shade, near grassy nook.
Away from the wild and giddy throng.
Soothing there is in the sweet, balmy breeze,
Recalling the days long since flown,
When the leaves were green on the trees,
And as boy, sat there, yet not alone.
There was said the parting words, good bye,
And though those parting words caused pain
The memory of which still brings sgh,-
And its vivid memories, l shall ever retain.

Forever safe, beyond this vale OF tears,
Where parting words will be said no more,
And disturbed no more with hopes and fears
