Remarkable Pennsylvania Pond.


Lying between two hills not faI
from Hughesville is a small body oi
water known as "Converse's ice DAM
or fish DAM" that is so full Of the
finny tribe that apparently it is impos.
sible for a fish five inches long ia
swim straight.
The small fish are on top and the
large ones below, and in order for a
fisherman or fisherwoman to get the
bait down to the big fellows it is nee
essary to make hole in the water
and carefully drop the hook down
through the wriggling mass.
On June 1 Mrs. Irwin Converse and
Miss Gladys Koch were at the dam
making determined effort to hook
some Of the under ones. The little
fellows on top, however, made such
fierce attacks on the bait that their
hooks, time after time, were instantly
cleared as soon as they touched the
water. Many of the little fellows were
pulled out in. order to make room for
the hooks, but the task had not been
accomplished when the reporter left

Perfumed Butter.

Catering for the tastes of the
wealthy appears to be no uncertain
way to fortune. On the tables of the
very rich, perfumed butter is the
latest extravaganza, says a writer in
TAT" The diaries where this but.
ter is made are as odorous as a per,
tuners laboratory, or florists shop.
The butter does not receive its subtle
odor from the admixture of essential
oils. In the first place, it is made and
put up in small pats like those in or
binary use. Each pat is wrapped in a
piece of fine muslin, and placed in a
bed of rose-leaves which have been
specially prepared in an earthen jar.
On top another layer of the delicate,
fresh rose-leaves is placed in the jar,
and is filed with solid block of ice.
Then the jar is placed in a refriger-
ator, and allowed to remain there for
ten hours, when the pats are ready for
the customer. Simple as the idea is
it resulted in a fortune for its lucky
inventor.

Victim Had Become Helpless When He
Tried DR.. williams Pink Pills, but
Was Cured In Four Months.
Because he did not know that there is
a remedy for ataxia, Mr.. Ariel endured
four years of weakness. pain and the
misery of thinking his case incurable.
Sat the outbreak Of the Spanish.
American war" he says, II went with
Company B, Eighth Regiment, M.V.M.,
into camp at Chickamauga, and while
there my system became thoroughly
poisoned with malaria. When I was
mustered out, I carried that disease
home with me. After while locomotor
ataxia appeared"
"How cid the ataxia begin?"
~ first noticed pain in my ankles
and knee joints. This was followed by
numb feeling in my legs. At times I
had to drag myself around; my legs
would shake or become perfectly dead.
I had constant trouble in getting about
in the dark. I kept a light burning in
my room at night as I could not balance
myself in the darkness. Even with the
aid Of light I wobbled, and would
reach out and catch hold of chairs to
prevent myself from falling?"
"How long were you sufferer"
"Four years i'll all. During the last
three years I was confined to bed, some-
times for week, again for three or four
weeks at a time. When I was lying
down the pain in my back was fire..
quently SO severe that I had to be helped
up and put in chair to get a little re-
lief. I had considerable pain in my
bowels and no control over my kidneys.
The worst Of all was that the doctor
could give me no hope of recovery"
How were you cured?"
81 read that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills had cured locomotor ataxia and
one or two friends spoke to me about
them. In the fall of 1908 began to take
them for myself and I had not used
more than one box before found that
the pains in my knees and ankles were
greatly relieved. Four months after
ward becamea perfectly well man, and
| am today enjoying the best of health"
Mr.. Edward H. Ariel lives at No. 43
Powow street, Amesbury, Mass. Every
suffererfrom locomotor ataxia should try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills without delay.

Peculiar Nests of Birds.

Swallows and house martins build
by sticking together pellets of pre-.
pared road mud. Most of the ma
terial is obtained from the drying pud-
dies on the high roads. If not mixed
with anything else, the tendency of
these pellets would be to crumble
when dry. But the swallow tribe is
supplied with mucous secretion
which enables it to gum the particles
together. The swallows nests, from
which the Chinese "blrd's-nest soup"
is made, are constructed of this
mucous matter only. An Indian swal-
low, which builds little boat.shaped
nests against the trunks of lofty trees,
practically makes them of dried
saliva.

OLD PRAYER A GOOD ONE.
Petition for Landlords Offered In Eng
land Many Years Ago.


In a prayer book of the time OF King
Edward vi. Of England. appears the
following prayer for landlords: "The
earth is thine. o Lord. and all that is
contained therein, Notwithstanding
thou hast given possession of it to
the children Of men. to pass over the
time Of their short pilgrimage in this
vale Of misery. We heartily pray thee
to send thy Holy Spirit into the hearts
Of those that possess the grounds,
pastures and dwelling places Of the
earth, that they. remembering them
selves to be thy tenants. may not
rack nor stretch out the rents Of their
houses and lands nor yet take unrea-
sonable fines and incomes after the
manner Of covetous woridlings; but
so let them out to others that the in
habitants thereof may both be able
to pay the rents and also honestly to
live and nourish their families and
relieve the poor. Give them grace
also to consider that they are but
strangers and pilgrims in this world"

Caught Pike Between 1is Knees.

So0Su TIM oSkWCCu TITO bNuSSos
Jack Schiller went up the st. Louis
river fishing yesterday, as did many
another West Duluthian, but Mr..
Schiller performed an exciting feat
before large number of spectators.
A large pike struck Mr.. Schuler's
hook, and after something of fight
was landed. Just as the fish was
brought ashore, however, the line
broke, and the fish Topped back into
the water.
Mr.. Schiller dropped his pole and
jumped on the fish, graphing it in the
water with his hands and knees. The
fish knew no new wrestling tricks,
and with the death grip that Schiller
had, the denizen of the deep could not
get away and was safely landed at
only the cost of the ducking that Mr..
Schiller got while in operation.
The pike was what a small boy
would call whopper. 1t measured
27h inches and weighed eight pounds.

QUEER TRAITS OF PETS.
Remarkable Friendships Of Animsh
Usually at Enmlty.


Instances of strange friendships be.
tween various animals are common.
Many cases are known in which cat
and a hen have raised their respective
families in the same nest. An Eng.
fish agriculturlist last fall possessed
one of the strangest OF these happy
families. The elder member of this
group was a ferret and the junior
member was young rabbit. The
matron had eaten her own family,
but, given the rabbit for food, adopted
and nursed it. In another household
1t is related that the cat, already
having a family Of three, was not sat-
isfied with her motherly duties. So
she went into the fields and caught
as many rabbits and is rearing them
with the kittens.
Again, in certain home there lived
a cat and dog on the usual terms Of
enmity. The cat had kittens, which
were taken from her, drowned and
buried. The bereaved mother mourn,
ed, and would not eat, and became a
sort of embodied ghost of her own
dead self. Her enemy, the terrier.
ceased to annoy her, began tenderly to
shepherd her about, dropped pieces of
food in her way and played about her
as if he would joke her back to hap.
ninesS II was in vain
Then the dog was missed for some
hours. He came back eventually,
bounding with pleasure. Upon the
hearthrug before the cat he depos-
tied furry something; retreated, re.
turned with something else, and again
went out, to come back with SINH
lar burden. They were the dead-and-
buried kittens which he had discover.

what Would Happen to ProjectiIe
Dropped Through the Earth.
Most of us have probably speculated,
at one time or another, what would
happen If hole were bored right
through the earth and one were to
drop stone into it; and F. r. A. 8.
now gives his views on this puzzling
question. "The stone," he says, would
fall with increasing speed to the CEN
ter OF the earth, where it would have
attained a speed Of nearly 900 miles q
minute. Its momentum would carry 1t
at constantly reducing speed through
the remaining half Of its journey until
by the time it appeared at the antipo-
dean end Of the hole 1t would have
come to standstill. 1t would then
begin to drop again, and would per-
form exactly the same journey on its
return to the starting point. Thus it
would continue to travel backward and
forward from one end of the earth to
the other practically forever. Lon

MARKETING POTATO CROPS.

IN line with the classic case OF the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile Of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com.
merce. Nothing could better show
how railroad works for the interest
of the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there
would have been glut of the custom
airy markets and the potatoes would
have rotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every reachable
market, even carrying them in large
quantities to place SO remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which it
did. By means Of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement Of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a
decrease in it's revenue from potatoes,
but 1t enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt |
action could never have been taken,
because it is we'll established that If |
rate be once reduced by railroad |
company it cannot be restored through |
