ToMAHAwk IN OAK LOG.
Ancient Relic Found by Farmer Near

Ancient Relic Found by Farmer Near
Chester, VT.
Charles North, who lives near the
Summit" was saving up an oak
log in the woods near his place a
few days ago when the steel teeth
came in contact with metal, says
dispatch from Chester, Vt. The log
had been felled the winter before.
North abandoned the saw and resort
ed to an axe.
After ten minutes of labor he dis
closed the butt of what appeared to
be a Ratchet firmly imbedded in the
trunk of the tree, ten inches in from
the bark. A little more cutting and
the Ratchet fell out and proved to be
an Indian tomahawk covered by rust,
/ but still in fair state of preserva-
ton. North could see traces of an
inscription on the blade. and, care
fully washing off the rust. he was
able to make out several words.
The name peter Snow was visi-
BILE where the blade had joined the
handle, and a little in front of this
was Gen. Stark's Army, 1777-" There
were two other words which could not
be made out, and then the words
white squaw." A rough fine drawing
of a red fox was sketched on the
reverse side of the blade, and below
that two eagle feathers.
In 1777 Gen. John Stark and his
New Hampshire militia marched from
Concord, N. H, to Bennington, VT,
and camped for two months near Low
ell Lake, short distance from where
the tomahawk was found. 1t is be-
Heved that one of Stark's soldiers
left the weapon in the tree, and that
the wood grew around it until it COW
cred it. The oak was old and stunt
ed, but in full vigor when felled.

There stood a rude and dingy hut
leaning against the caves OF Knoll,
and built of sticks and boards thrown
up by the tide f1aring light burned
within, and cleaned through the crew
ices and the jagged hole that served
the purpose of a window. man dis
heveled, gray and decrepit, came out
and carefully drew to the rickety door
after him. He paused awhile in con-
temptation of the night, and listened
to the mournful breathing of the surf
Then he climbed to the topmost point
of the knoll and gazed long over the
stretch of water to the distant harbor
where shone the myriad lights of the
city, and in musing, said:
"Ye're there, somewhere know
yer must be-drinkin' and revelin' and
spendin yer bit of money in FOOLS
paradise; while the neglected wife and
wee one seek asylum of yer uecrepit
father"
Then he clenched his bony hands
and muttered, while the night breeze
played about his tattered raiment. He
looked away along the ribbon of wind
ing white beach and deserted an atom
moving at the waters edge, growing
larger as it advanced; and he watched
it until taking the shape of a man, it
bore around the foot of the knoll and
disappeared beneath the overhanging
crags. The watcher descended by the
path he had come; passing the hut, he
waited in the shadow until the man
again appeared, then stepped out and
blocked his way.
What do you want here?" His
tone was harsh and stern.
The other hesitated.
What have ye done with the wife
and wee one?" he continued, harsh
api stern as before.
She left my bed and board and took
the youngster with her..
Because you neglected and i'll
treated her, and because you will not
work. She came to me yesterday in
her trouble, not knowing otherwhere."
Its lie-I can get no work to dol"
and the younger man tried to pass.
THE lies your own" rejoined the
elder, ever hard and stern. Not so
fasti" and he gripped the other by the
arm. "She wants not you, she's i'll,
and wants rest and quiet, and she shall
not be disturbed"
Il will see her-See what she
means" and he thrust the elder man
roughly aside. You cannot harbor a
mans wife. There's law. Besides,
you quarreled with your own wife
don't forget that" and again he made
to pass.
Stung by the taunt, the elder man
struck out a blow, and yet again. Then
they grappled and struggled fiercely
in the moan of the surf beneath the

A new tenement of houses in Edtn-
burgh, now in course of erection, was
the scene the other day of a remark
able incident The building looked as
if completed, but the plumbers were
busily engaged touching up the roofs
and cutters at the top of the house.
An apprentice was working lower
down, at the channel of the caves
of the house, was another plumber
hammering away and whistling the
whi1efi, when the apprentice slipped
his hold, and sliding headlOng down
the states, looked as if he was to be
dashed to pieces among the refuse
some fifty feet below. Passersby in
voluntarily shuddered. Fortunately,
however, he came right in the direc-
ton of his fellow-workman on the edge
of the states, but, that individual ham
mering away did not notice anything
amiss till the young man was just on
the brink of the house. Being unable
at the instant to clutch the lad with
his hands, he plunged his head for
ward and grabbed him by the trouser-
leg with his teeth. 1t was only for
a few seconds that the apprentice was
thus suspended, hanging as he was
almost bodily over the house, but even
the shock might have killed a stronger
man.

BETRAYED by a Hat.

The history of crime furnishes III
stances in which the criminals hat
when left behind him, has given such
a clue as to have led to his capture
The circumstances of the Peckham
murder recall notable London
tragedy in which the hat led to the
calculation of an otherwise apparently
impenetrable mystery. A banker,
Thomas Briggs, was murdered in a
first-claSs railway carriage on the
North London Railway a few months
ago. The villain, a German, named
Franz Muller, took away his victims
hat instead of his own The police,
working sharply on this clue, soon
got the hat identified which led to
further evidence. Mueller was cap
tured in New York, brought back to
London, and convicted. The other
day at 1.-THE last moment on the scaffold
he confessed his crime.

Wounded by Bullet From Fireplace.
Charles Miller, 30 years old, boss of
the Wabash railroad camp at Gwynn' s
Falls and Wilkens avenue, was shot in
the right side yesterday morning by a
small cartridge which had been care
lessly thrown in a fire nearby and
which exploded. He was taken to the
Franklin Square Hospital. His con-
dition is serious. The accident occur
red in a tool house. A fire was burn
ing in a large open fireplace at one
end of the shanty. Standing about the
gate were three men, A workman en-
tered and requested an order for pick
handles. Miller was about to go with
the men to the blacksmith shop to
have the picks stamped before using
them when an explosion occurred in
the fireplace.
One of the men remarked to Miller
that he had better look out. Miller
laughed and replied that he wasn't
afraid. Suddenly another report was
heard and Miller, placing his hand to
his side, exclaimed:
Il am shot!" He walked over to the
kitchen, a distance of ninety feet, and
fell unconscious. Baltimore Herald.

Atmosphere of the Planets.

The atmosphere of world depends
on its gravitation. Gases tend to diff
fuse into space, unless retained by
adequate attraction. Our earth can
hardly retain SO light and mobile a
gas as hydrogen; Mars may have Off
hculty in retaining the less mobile
vapor of water; but the gravitation of
the moon is too slight to retain any
known gas, hence she has no atmos-
phere or water. Yet this is not suf1i-
cient reason for assuming the absence

Why blame him if his soul was not
Filled up with ecStacy by what

He hated icy blasts: the air
That bit his ears and nipped his nose
