Hn Incident Of tbe Grail.
e~J. 2. THORN.

HE morning sun was shining fair,
| The breakfast soon was past
When each began him to prepare
His daily lot to cast.
Some said they'd work upon the trail
That Ger the summit led
And some would hunt the grouse rquail
That the hungry might be fed
Then up spoke Tommy, young and brave;
'Tll hunt the grouse no more;
The snowshoei too rest may have
thirst for 6ercer gore"
ga cougar, bear or mountain goat;
An elk or deer will do"
Then down he cast his old duck coat,
And up his hat he threw.
Now "Boise'a listened all the while
A hunter bold was he
And Tommys language made him smile
For he spoke courageously
''My lad, just 60 with me o-day
III show you royal sport,
If bear or cougar come our way
Well surely pay him court
So 'Boise" spoke aud gan prepare
The mountain heights to tread
Boise" had killed hundred bear
AT least that's what he said.
Then forth upon their bloody quest,
The hunters boldly strobe;
While the other boys did their best
To make the mountain road.
"For, to Thunder MIS- fields of gold.
We were trying to make our way;
But to cross the snowy summit cold
We must toll for many a day."
The hunters now are In the wood
The boys are on the trail
But bark sound that chills ones blood
A wild and thrilling wall
But soon they knew whence came thenoise
IT'S Tommy's cry for help
80 Billy Billy! come here, boysl'
And they hear his dogs sharp yelp.
ouu 1ouuy uOB was IN his track
Wherever he did turn
While Tommy felt upon his back
A cougars hot breath burn.
Then Tommy lost his self CONTROL
he telt he.muSt 60 faster,
Or body soon must give up soul,
And so he yelled at last sir:
Get out of the way, you Son-of-a-aun,
.4nd give a fellOW a chance to run.
Then dog and Tommy fairly flew
Where, where was "Boise'' then?
One shot from his old rifle true
Were worth hundred men,
Fierce "Boise' came, O lucky starsl
His long hair backward streaming;
His eyes shone like the planet Mars,
The fire within them cleaning.
Bang, bang rang out his rife clear;
The cougar turned and fed
Bang, bangl his gun again we hear,
And supposed the cougar dead.
Now "Boise's' gun has ceased to sound;
But Tommy, where is he?
Go search the frs and pines around,
For Tom Skinned up tree
Back Boise came with hurried stride
And reported danger past;
And, by his strongest efforts tried.
Coaxed Tommy down at last
Now some there be with jealous hearts,
And quantities of gall.
VINO strive to prove with all their arts,
No cougar there at ALL
snowshoe rabbit man from Boise.

used in connection with the cord to
give the top it's rotary motion, and also
shows the manner Of applying the
string and spinning wire. The latter
is formed with a loop at one end In
which one finger of the left hand is in
serted, while the opposite end of the
wire has a curved hook which sur
rounds the spindle on the top. At the
point Of the long loop is guide
through which the string feeds to the
top. To put the top in motion the
cord is given a single turn around the
spindle, the free, long end IS inserted
in the guide, and the hook of the spin
ming wire is placed over the spindle I'M
derneath the cord. 1t is obvious that
a sudden and strong pull on the cord
and an equal resistance with the other
hand will hold the top stationary in
vertical plane, while the rapidly NOV
ing cord will give motion to the spindle
to rotate the top as the cord is drawn
through the guide. When the string
has passed through the guide there
is no further resistance and the top
drops of its own accord to the floor,
maintaining its motion for a great
length of time.-Philadelph Record.

Eitten By n Wildcat. d.

James Cavanaugh, of Albany, and
his nephew, Samuel McGuigan, of Med
way, Greene County, had an encounter
with wildcat recently. They killed
the animal, but not until Mr.. Cavan-
aughs hand had been badly bitten and
Mr.. Cavanaugh was obliged to return
to Albany to have the wound cauter-
lied. The physician says he will not
lose the hand, but it will be useless for
some time.
One night Mr.. Cavanaugh heard the
screech of wildcat in the woods. He
told his nephew of what he had heard
and they went into the woods the next
day to secure the animal. They were
armed with n shotgun. After beating
about in the woods for some time they
heard screech. which they traced to
a large tree, and there discovered the
animal. Mr. Cavanaugh approached
carefully, and, when he was near
enough, took steady aim and fired.
The wildcat fell to the ground, kick
ing spasmodically for an instant, and
then lay still.
Cavanaugh and his nephew waited
few minutes and then approached
the animal. To all appearances it was
dead, and Cavanaugh grabbed 1t by
the hind legs preparatory to carrying
it away. But that cat had more than
one life, for as soon as .Cavanaugh
reached out it curled up and began to
fight. 1t got Cavanaugh's fingers in

81 have experienced many kinds OF
showers in my sea life" said Captain
Harland, of the British steamer Har-
danger, but it remained for me to feel
the effect of a rain of bats on the trip
down the coast from New York to
Baltimore.
Last Tuesday night, when about ten
miles off the Delaware, we were sud-
denly being struck in the face and on
our heads, and sometimes on our
bodies, by myriads of birds, as we sup
posed. We were not long finding out
that the sudden attack was from beats
of bats, if l may apply that term. 1t
was with difficulty that those on deck
could protect themselves from injuries
from their sharp, Unlike wings, as
they flew about in all directions. We
ran out of the flock during the night,
but next morning we captured a num-
Der on deck, where they had fallen ex-
der its wing an infant bat, which It
had carried far out to sea, and during
the time it was beating about our
decks, against the rigging, boats and
smokestack, this tiny infant had held
on and fallen with its exhausted parent
to the deck. 1 shall try to raise the
pair, and also several others.
Il doubt If there is anybody who can
boast of such queer capture and has
the idea of making pets of them
shall look I'D natural history and seals
some plan to preserve their lives, and
see what will be the result"
The battle with the bats, Captain
Harland says, was renewed to a less
extent during Wednesday night in the
Chesapeake Bay. He cannot recollect
Of having seen bats at sea before.-Bal-
! timore Sun.

Learn How to Breathe.

1t is possible to exercise ones whole
body, to keep 1t strong and well, sim
ply by breathing properly. Children
should be taught to breathe and to get
into the habit Of filling the whole lung
space at each inhalation and Of empty
ing 1t completely at each exhalation.
There is no better way Of getting to
sleep soon after going to bed than by
breathing properly. Push away the pill
low and lie fiat upon the back with the
muscles relaxed. Slowly draw in the
deepest breath possible, hold it for four
seconds, then slowly expel it until the
chest and abdomen have collapsed. Re-
peat this until you are tired or fall
asleep. There are scores Of ways Of
varying this exercise. But this is the
essential. OF course it is assumed that
one sleeps with his bed room windows
open.-Philadelphia Times.

| the Volcano, there was only one great
eruption. and this came from the side
Of the mountain. There were no de.
no sheet Of flame accompanying the
hot blast. The force of this, which
hurled massive stone buildings to the
ground, was so great, however, that he
believes it was the cause of the steam.
ship Grappler turning turtle. There
was no return blast and no absence of
air. The difficulty in breathing was
due to the quantity of fine ash with
which the atmosphere was charged
and the fetid sulphurous gases.
The Roddam was not saved by being
lifted on wave, neither was she saved
by knocking out shackle pins and Slip
ping the cables. What the captain did
was to free his windlass and then run
full speed astern until the cable parted.
But now, to add to the horror of the
situation, he found the steering gear so
clogged with ashes as to be useless.
In this predicament there was nothing
to do but to steam ahead, and then
astern, and so on, close to burning
ships, and hearing the cries of those
on board and those running frantically
along the shore, until the gear was
cleared. At the end of an hour and a
half this was accomplished, and the
Roddam steamed out to sea, with
twenty-siX dying men on her decks.
Captain Freeman is certain that many
of the people of st. Pierre did not die
suddenly, but with terrible and pro-
longed suffering. Twenty-siX of his
own men died, most of them slowly.
About nine hours after the eruption
the Roddam steamed into the harbor
of st. Lucia with 100 tons of mud and
ashes on her decks. Although the ash
probably contained a considerable per-
centage of magnetic, no disturbance
OF the compass was noted. Before the
eruption no disturbance of the barom-
eter was observed. That Captain Free
man, while on a burning ship, where
he was more than half suffocated with
hot ashes, when the boots were burned
from his feet, his face scared and his
hands so scorched and welted that he
worked with his elbows. had the pres
ence of mind to do what he did and the
physical and mental power to carry
out his intentions under these trying

With the help Of electricity in Its
simplest form great many tricks and
entertaining feats can be performed,
such as the following: Get a plain
sheet of glass about twelve inches long
by eight inches wide, and insert it
between two volumes, as shown in IL
lustration. The distance of the glass
from the table should be about three
inches. With the help Of scissors cut
a number Of small figures, such as
men. women, clowns, animals, ETC., not
higher than one and one-half inches,
out of different colored paper. Lay the
little figures fiat on line on the table
underneath the glass. Make a sort of
ball Of woolen, or, better yet, silk

surface of some water contained in a
hyacinth glass, and SO permitted to
remain without being disturbed, 1t will.
In few months, burst and throw a
root down into the water, and shoot
upwards its straight and tapering
stem, with beautiful little green leaves.

lty obtained by this process enlivens
the little paper figures, how they stand
up and jump to the glass ceiling of
their little ballroom, to be repulsed
and fall back, only to renew their
dance. If you stop rubbing, the funny
actions Of the figures are continued for
q while; when the dance is ended the
touch of the hand on the glass is suf
icient to enliven the figures again.
