Earraput and Schley,

During the civil war Captain Schley,
then In command Of the Monongahela,
was sent up to lombard one Of the
works at Port Hudson. While firing
on the fort signals were hoisted on the
flagship to recall him, but he could not
read them and kept on firing until the
fort was silenced. When he reported
on board the flagship Farragut said
sternly, Captain, you begin early IN
life to disobey orders" And when
Schley tried to explain about the sig
nails that were seen. but could not be
read, the admiral said he wanted none
Of this Nelson business in his squad
ron about not seeing signals" Afterr
ward, however. when in the cabin, the
admiral said to him, "Do it again
whenever in your judgment it IS neces'
sary to carry out your conception OF
duty"

ALPINE GLACIERS.
Attributes Of Ice That Render Their
Formation Possible.

a
Formation Possible.
AS soon as men We're able to walk on
a glacier from one end to the other
they began to look and search and re-
member and compare, and finally they
discovered the secret Of the thing. IN
"A Pleasure Book Of Grindelwald' Mr..
Daniei p. Rhodes describes this secret:
They knew at the outset that ice is a
very remarkable substance. which be-
haves in a manner peculiar to itself,
and they next learned that to three Of
the properties Of ice is due the phe-
nomenon of glaciers.
First, its Elasticity permits Of its
flowing downward under sufficient
pressure in the direction of the least
resistance Glaciers may therefore ac-
commodate themselves to the most tor
tuous valleys.
Another attribute of ice in respect Of
which it is singular among viscous bod
les is its inability to yield much to ten
sion; hence when there is strain up
on it, owing to variations in the direc-
ton or in the rate Of progress Of gla-
cier, it is rent into great assures called
crevaSses.
These crevasses do not, as is some
times asserted, always penetrate to
the bottom OF the glacier, but are Of
different depths and shapes. Usually
these crevusses extend in the direction
Of the width of the glacier, but on q
very steep incline they are often inter
sected by longitudinal crevasses, and
in this manner are formed tall blocks
Of ice, which are soon worn by the
weather into the beautiful pinnacles
seen in the Ice falls Of most large sla-
ciers.
It Is third attribute Of ice which
enables q glacier to maintain itself
compact mass in spite Of all this fric-
ton. Where two pieces Of ice near the
melting point are brought into contact
they freeze together so perfectly as to
obliterate all traces Of their original
surfaces. 10 this property Of ice,
which Mr.. Tyndall calls regelation, is
due not only the closing up Of Gre
vases, but also the very beginnings Of
the glaciers themselves. 1t happens
this way:
In the higher regions Of the Alps
more snow falls in winter than Is melt
ed in summer, and constant rear
rangement of both the old snow and
the new is being caused winter and
summer by the alienation between
heat and cold which occurs in clear
weather between each day and night.
The fresh dry snow is melted by the
sun and afterward frozen again IN
granules Of ice.
With the frequent repetition OF this
process the particles become imper-,
fectly fused together, forming that Pc.
culiar crust called neve, which con-
stantly increases In depth until the
lower part Of it, according to the prin-
ciple of regulation, is so compressed by
the weight Of the mass above it as to
become a fairly compact body Of ice
that seeks to escape by the most con-
Yenienr channel. This is the beginning
of the glacier.

A True Rear Story.

An angry black bear, through an et-
ror in judgment attacked freight To-
comotive on a lonely stretch Of railway
in Austria-Hungary and came of Sec
ond best a switchman had walked
up the track to siding, where he had
set switch to allow freight train to
make way for the express. It was
night, and he carried lantern. See
ing a dark, formless mass lying across
the rails he went to Investigate. The
dark, formless mass suddenly resolved
itself into q big she bear and three
cubs. The switchman was surprised.
In his fright be foolishly dropped his
lantern and started to run. The bears
followed. The old mother bear was
rapidly outfooting the switchman when
the freight train came along, Its head
light cleaning along the rails. Even
this did not deter the enraged animal.
She attacked the engine end was killed.
The cubs escaped.

THE FIRST LAMPS.
Seashel1s, Perhaps, With RuShes
Burning In Animal Fat.

SeashelIs, Perhaps, With Rushes
Burning In Animal Fat.
''This world CROPPED until the thir-
teenth century without discovering
even the tallow candle" says writer.
"The expression, Mankind was plung-
ed in darkness during the early ages,
is true in every sense. 1t was perhaps
the accidental burning of bit Of fat
of some slain animal that suggested its
use as q luminant, while the hollow
shell from the sea, O concaye rock or q
mold Of sun baked clay held the fat,
which was burned by placing rush in
the fat. with the lighted end projecting
over the edge Of the rude dish. Step
by step the lamp was fashioned into a
thing Of beauty. Admirable specimens
Of lamps in terra Gotta, in stone, IN
brass and in bronze have been found
on sites Of Hebrew cities and in the
temples Of Hindustan. From the
tombs of Egypt, from the tumuli Of
Assyria and ancient lettered Babylon,
from the opened graves Of Chaldean
sages, came examples Of household
lamps. revealing q general use many
centuries before the Christian era.
$50. from the fat Of slain animals,
the resinous products Of the forest
trees and the wax Of the wild bee
came those lights which cleaned upon
fair woman and brave men at Bel
shazzar's feasts. From Rome the oil
lamp passed successively into Ger
many, Gaul and Britain. In these
countries torches. rushes dipped in
grease and i very odorous fish Oil
were the methods Of artificial lighting
until the Roman conquest. The rush
liehl of that day consisted Of notch.
ed wooden stick set to q wooden base.
Stalks Of the rush were peeled to the
pith. save for one strand Of husk, and
passed through hot grease. Sometimes
three or more were twisted together
and when cold were placed in u notch
of the standard, to be pushed up when
the fire neared the wood.
These rushlights emitted strong
fame and a similar odor. You may
make one of these and enjoy for an
hour the ancient light Of Britain and
that which to this day dispels the
gloom Of night in remote Irish cabins.
The candle of the common people was
the rushlight of our ancestors. 1t
burned where candles made from wax
were too dear and before Chevreul and
others found way to refine cheap
candle grease from the fat Of animals"

THE ROBIN.
He Ii an Adaptive Bird, but He
Doesn't Mix Mortar.

lie In an Adaptive Bird, but He
Doesn't Mix Mortar.
The robin is very adaptive bird GER
ta;nly. 1t adjusts itself readily to new
conditions, but it falls far short OF the
intelligence that is often ascribed to It,
Thus there are persons who seem to
believe that when mud is scarce the
robin will bring water in its beak TO
the dust Of the road and so make the
mortar that it needs This notion is, Of
course, absurd How could the robin
know that water and dust will make
mud? This knowledge Is the result Of
reflection and experiment and is not
within the reach of an animal. More
than that, if the robin could find the
water he could certainly find the mud
somewhere. I have known them to use
q substitute for mud furnished by the
COWS.
Another equally absurd claim for the
robin comes from q correspondent. A
robin had her nest II tree under his
chamber window in such position
that be could see all that happened In
the nest He says that when the young
robins were nearly grown he saw the
mother bird take them, one by one, by
the nape of the neck and hold them out
over the rim of the nest to teach them
to use their wings! suppose "our
modern school Of nature study" would
accept this statement without question.
It is such preposterous natural history
as this that furnishes the stock In trade
Of this SCHOOL" Some persons deceive
themselves in what they think they
see, and not few, am convinced, are
deliberate falsifers.-John Burroughs

leans enjoy fair health on a diet that

The pies, buildings, sauces and in
Vulnerable other dishes, most OF
which are unhealthful in the extreme,
partaken of by young and old alike
in America, have caused me to won

pie are not physical and constitution
al wrecks
The secret is to be found in the
simple, hardy lives of the forefathers
OF the present generation. Their Wig
orous health has bestowed upon the
grandchildren wonderful constitutions
al vigor. But the change from the
simple to the luxurious is working
havoc. The rising generation have
squandered the constitutional capital
bequeathed to them and are rapidly
becoming physical bankrupts. A halt
must be called and the simple habits
resumed or the prophecy of DIR. Lo-

Temperature for churnIns.

In most of our farms the matter OF
temperature of cream at the churning
time and of the room in which the
churning is done receives little or ne
attention In summer the butter
comes quickly and the churner thinks
1t is because the cows are on pasture;
in winter the butter comes slowly and
the churner thinks that this is due to
the dry feed In most cases the tenn
perature is the great factor in regu-
lating the time of churning. With
the temperature of the cream and of
the room at so degrees the butter is
quickly churned. But it is impossible
OF 80 degrees; at that temperature a
great deal of casein is incorporated
with the butter and an unusual
good temperature at which to churn.
The churning between so and IS de-
grees has been popular for many
years, but it is only recently that but
termakers have adopted the plan of
churning at 80 degrees and under.
This can be done only with heavy
cream, that is. cream containing a
very large per cent of butter fat 1t
Is not supposed that thin cream can
be churned at all at this low tenn
perature. The best favored butter
and the butter that has taken first
premiums at our leading expositions,
has been made at a very low tempera-
ture- AS general principle it may be
assumed that the richer the cream
the lower the temperature at which
me churning may be done.
