Homemade Cloth of Many Kinds.

We had one cotton mill to spin the
warp. The people stood in line to get
a bunch of cotton for warp. The filing
was yarn, cotton, flax and tow. We
got our dyestuff from the forest. It
was almost as bad on timber as the
tanbark trade is now. There was great

The clothing for every member of the

made with homespun thread.
The tow linen cloth had one peculiar
ity. 1t was a great stretcher. It was
often exchanged for other things. A
man and his wife started to town with
cloth sufficient to get some articles. On
the way he remembered he needed a
gimlet also. He told his wife. They
decided to tie the ends of the cloth

This stream Runs Up nm.

One of the few instances of a stream
running up hill can be found in White
county, Ca Near the top of noun
tain is spring, evidently siphon,
and the water rushes from it with suf-
ficient force to carry it up the side of
a very steep hill for nearly half mile.
Reaching the crest, the water flows on
to the east, and eventually finds its
way to the Atlantic ocean. OF course
it is Of the same nature as geyser,
but the spectacle of a stream of water
flowing up a steep incline can probably
be found nowhere else in the country
and appears even more remarkable
than the geysers of the Yellowstone

PATRIOTIC OLE BULL.


What was it that made Ole Bull I'M
deniably the greatest political infu-
ence in the history Of modern Norway?
The riddle is easy to read. Although
he voiced the peasants, his own voice
was that of no peasant, but one of the
most severely learned of European ut
terances. His Instrumental mastery
was complete, and the technical diff
culties of his compositions have left
them for the most part objectionable.
But Mozart was bis chosen theme,
worshiped with such an ardor of con-
Eecration that the whole range of his
works had for him no secret. His
fame. therefore, was of that order that
opens all doors Statesmen and chief
captains like Bismarck and Won Moltke
were his intimates, and he was their
confdant. To world artists like List,
Chopin and Mendelssohn he was own
brother. Indeed, curious physical
resemblance between List and himself
led to many amusing contretemps on
this score. And sovereigns, diplo-
matists and great mobiles were all
proud to name him among their friends.
In him, then, Norway had found one
who could stand for her in the highest
ranks of the nations, learn for her the
secrets of statecraft and recover In
her behalf the trick of thinking like
king. For this is one Of the losses en-
tailed on people who are governed
by foreigners from foreign seat-that

WILD BABOONS.
An Incident Which illustrates the
Caution Of the AnfmnIs

One of the farm boys drew our ct
tention to what seemed little more than
couple Of dark specks on the slope
Of the hills to the right, but we could
soon see that they were moving, and
when they came within half a mile Of
us we could distinctly recognize them
as herd of balloons
The boy said that he was quite sure
they We're on their way to the water;
but, to our surprise, they did not make
any advance. A quarter of an hour
elapsed, half an hour; still no sign of
their approach. All at once, as If they
had started from the earth By magic,
ut the open end Of the pond not sixty
yards from our place Of ambush, stood
two huge males.
When or how they got there no one
could tell Probably they had come
by cireuitous way through the val
ley, or it might be that they had crept
straight down through the grass They
had certainly eluded our observation.
Being anxious to watch the move
ments of the animals and to ascertain

playing under the mimosas, refrained
from firing and determined to see
what would follow next Both balloons
sprang toward the water, and, leaning
down, they drank till they were salts
fed. Then, having gravely stretched
themselves, they solemnly stalked
away on all tours in the direction of
the herd. There was little doubt, there
fore, that they belonged to the herd
and had been sent forward to recon
hotter, for as soon as they got back
the entire herd put itself in motion
toward the pond.
There were mothers taking care Of
their little ones; there were half grown
animals, the boys and girls Of the COM
pany. At first only one baboon at a
time came to the waters edge and,
having taken its draft, retired to the
rest, but when about ten had thus ven
tured separately they began to come
in small groups, leaving the others roll
ing and jumping on the sand Youths

Perpetual Noon.

One of the oddities of our system of
reckoning time is exemplified in the
question as to what time the north
pole keeps. In theory all places on one
meridian of longitude keep the same
time; therefore the north pole, being
the central point of all meridians, must
necessarily have all times. Should the
pole ever become habitable the resi-
dent would be able to have day or
night at any hour lin theory by elect
ing to take his time from meridian
to correspond. Should such an unex-
pected event ever occur there would
have to be made some REIMBURSEMENT of
our present system Of reckoning time
to suit the arctic regions.
