The rise In the River.

Il is little short of astonishing to
see how little water is required to noat
the southern river steamers, q boat
loaded with perhaps a thousand bales
of cotton slipping along contentedly
where a boy could wade across the
stream. Once, however, the Chatta-
hoochee got too low for even her light
draft commerce, and at Gunboat
shoals a steamer grounded. As the
drinking water on board needed re-
plenishing, deck hand was sent ashore
with couple Of water buckets. Just
at this moment a northern traveller ap-
proa ched the captain of the boat, and
asked him how long he thought they
would have to stay there.
'.Oh, only until that man gets back
with a bucket of water to pour into
the river" tho captain replied. Pres
emily the deck hand returned. and the
stale water from the cooler was
emptied overheard. Instantly, to the
amazement of the traveller, the boat
began to move.
well, if that doesn't beat thunder
he gasped.
The fact was that the boat touching
the bottom, had acted as a dam. and
there was soon backed up behind her
enough water to lift her over the shoal
and send her on down the stream

A minister of the gospel. according
to this tale. was walking TO and fro in
long passage that ran through the
house and meditating upon his next
sermon There brushed by him a
housemaid. He watched her pass and
enter his study Fearing that she
would disarrange his papers. he hurried
after her, went into his study-and no
one was there. No means Of egress
was possible but by IT, one door
through which he had seen the girl en-
ter. He rang the bell and-the house
maid came down from the top OF the
house, where she had been performing
her duties. Aud the unusual part OF
the story is that nothing happened
no one sickened and died. The young
woman married happily. And yet that
minister of the gospel is sure that he
saw that housemaid pass him. Nor to
this day does his stout and happy ma
tron know that she was ever in two
places at once.

CannfbaliSm In New Guinea,

Cannibalism has not yet been quite
stamped out in British New Guinea.
The natives have well cultivated gar
dens, they occupy long settled villages,
and their relations with Europeans are
generally harmonious. In each village
one of the most influential chiefs is Sc.
lected as village constable. given a uni.
form, a pair of handouts, a brass
badge and s. year and is kept under
constant personal supervision by the
six white magistrates. Crime is COM
paratively rare owing apparently to the
fact that the natives are not allowed to
obtain any intoxicating liquor

John Doe Proceedings.

"John Doe" proceedings were abol-
ished by law in Great Britain in 1852.
Previous to that time John Doe had
figured in the old fashioned ejectment
action for the recovery Of the posses
sion of land, together with damages
for tie wrongful withholding thereof.
For various reasons of convenience
and history dating from the reign of
Edward III. A did not proceed against
B directly in such case. Instead A
delivered to B an entirely false state
ment from the fictitious John Doe"
that A had devised the land to John
for a term of years. and John" had
been ousted from it by the equally
fictitious Richard Roe" Then, Rich
ard Informed B that he was not going
to defend the action himself, but 3
must do it, and so on. Occasionally,
by way of variety, John Doe" gave
place to one "Goodtitle."

Wealth In Old Roman Times.

Our wealth, as much as We boast OF
it, is comparatively puny as compared
with the wealth of men of old. There
was Mark Antony's house that was
sold to Messiah for over $500, 900. and
Scaurus' villa was burned at n loss Of
over $12, 100000. otho spent over S14-
100000 in finishing one wing of a
palace commenced by Nero. Nearly
100000 was found in the Golfers
of Tiberius, and Caligula spent 1t all in
less than a year. Paulus could make
a trifing present to the mother OF Bru-
tus of a pearl worth over $4,000. SO
let us be modest We are a cheap
people, even the wealthiest of us.

Shaking the Marble.

A Greek thus tells how the nargile
is smoked by his brethren:
''Only pure tobacco is used in the
nargile 1t is grown expressly for the
purpose in Persia. The weed there is
called tumbeky. This kind Of tobacco
is first washed two or three times by
the man who keeps the restaurant. He
puts it under faucet and squeeZes
the Juice out. Otherwise the tobacco
would be too strong Then, when the
smoke of it is drawn through the wa
ter, the tobacco having, Of course, been
dried first. all the nicotine is deposited
in the water. and delightful and in
nocuous smoke is the result"

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never Impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache. dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in young girls life without
pain or irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol-
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which

Columbia River Thrice Named.

Columbia River Thrice Named.
The Columbia river has had three
names. 1t was first called the Oregon.
Afterward it was called the st. Rogue,
but when it was discovered by Robert
Gray In 1892 it was given the name Of
his vessel, the Columbia, in place of
the two floating appellations, Oregon
and ST. Rogue. According to Whitney.
the original name of the river was the
OREGON, "big ear" or lone that has big
ears" the allusion being to the custom
of the Indians who were found in its
region Of stretching their ears by Dor
ing them and crowding them with or
naments.

A Million to Fight Insects.

British hop growers have had to
maintain this season one of their
hardes% fights to save their crop from
the ravages of the aphis or green
fly, and it is not improbable that this
warfare has added S1,0OO,O0O to the
cost of raising the crop.
BY the use of insecticides, applied
to the hops by spraying machines, it
is generally possible to defeat the at
tacks of the aphis and its innumerable
swarms of progeny.
AS many as six Or eight washings
have been necessary in some cases.
The cost of the operation varies from
SIS to $3.50 per acre. Suppose the
whole of the 48,967 acres under hops
this year have been washed five times,
the cost would reach in round figures
from $1,22O,OOO to $1,000, OOO.-London

STONE FENCES DISAPPEARING.
In Connecticut They Are Bought Up
for Building Materials

TOT GGtlOlHY Waterfalls
Connecticut's stone fences are
doomed and before many years these
picturesque features of the rural sec.
tions of the State will be but mem
ory. The popularity of stone houses
and the increase in the number of
summer homes have led to the utili-
zation Of the stone fences for build
ing purposes.
In place of the stone fences are
miles of wire fences.
When New Workers began to seek
the country in the summer time Con
necticut became dotted with an ever
increasing number of costly cottages,
for the construction of which stone
was the best and most durable mater
ial Then it was that the builders
turned to the fences, from which stone
could he obtained without the labor Of
Quarrying. Contractors went about
buying up stone fences, and farmers,
eager to realize on this crop that their
ancestors had titled for them, found
that even after new wire fences had
been put up they had a good profit
from the sale of the stones. Farmers
like wire fences, too, because they
take up practically no room, and can
be kept clean, whereas the stone
fences we're fringed by weeds and
bushes that could never be moved or
ploughed out.
In any other State the wire fences
would not be unattractive, but here
they seem strangely out of place, and
to lovers of old time Connecticut the
absence of the stone fences will be
loss that the handsome modern
country places cannot compensate for
New York Sun.
