in n case of that kind, the falling

ly. The eyellds begin the work by OBJ
scuring sight; the sense Of taste fol-
lows, and then smell hearing and
touch In order. Touch sleeps more
lightly than any other sense, and
therefore Is more easily aroused. Hear
ing comes next. Smell Is one Of the
first to fall asleep, but 1t is one of the
last to wake. Some parts of the body
go to sleep before others, too. Tho
sleepy influence begins at the feet and
works its way upward to the center
of the nervous system. That helps to
explain why It Is SO hard to get to
sleep when our feet are cold. The SCI
entlsts find out lots Of queer things,
don't they?

to exist anywhere. 1t closed in about
1880, and the boys jointly bought UP
the island, returning there regularly
for a fortnight every summer until
the late COS; the open air chapel on
Chocorura island, its wooded acre Of
sand and laurel, white birch cross and
stone affairs, being regularly conse-
Grated in the Episcopal diocese, still

mer. In 1891 l first went to Camp
Asquam, which had moved to Squam
IN 1887, from Rindge, N. H., where 1t
was founded by the present Bishop
Nichols Of Nebraska. At that time,
when Camp Chocorua was out Of exist
ence, we called Asquam the second old
est in the country, having the impress
sion that camp somewhere In New
York State antedated us, but not Cho-
corua. Be that as it may, the Balch

every one l have ever seen-"soak" for
swim, counselor" for what Is called

least three camps which are direct off
springs of Asquam. Today, five dot

BOUND FOR CAMP.

BOUND FOR CAMP. Thread the other
side in the same manner, tie the ends
of the rope together, and to the loops
on either end fasten the slaves long
enough to conveniently swing the ham,
mock. A space Of about one inch
should be left between each stave.
The hammock thus made will be
found durable and much more comfort
able to recline In than one would imag-
Inc, though perhaps not as safe for
swinging In as the ordinary twine ham,
mock. But then 1t Is a novelty.
This hammock will be found conven-
lent for camping parties; the barrel
can be used to pack camping equip
ments and provisions In. The holes
having been bored and the rope thread
ed through before 1t has been taken
apart, 1t can be taken to pieces and
formed into hammock on arriving at
the camp grounds.

RYAN TO GROW PEANUTS.

New Interests.
When Thomas +. Ryan interests him
self in any enterprise he Is more than
ifely to get everything out of it that
= be made to yield profit, says the
~ York Tribune. When he acquired
he 10000 acres In the KOngo district
| WIS generally supposed that he
would be satisfied with the gold, copper
md rubber In sight there. But Mr..
Ryan, as Virglnian, knows the poten-
| tiality Of rich soil, and as there would
| De many thousands Of idle acres in the
kongo principality which he had ac-
| lu!red, and as his idle land would not
| ield any Of the three great crops from
which the greater part OF his profit was
supposed to come, he determined to put
it to practical use.
Virginia Is a great peanut State The
'oil conditions in Mr.. Ryan's Kongo
lomain are peculiarly well fitted for
peanut culture. The best-paylng grade
Of peanuts that come from the Virginia

general all-around nutrition.
Mr.. Ryan is going to raise Jumbo
peanuts in his mid-African property.
These Jumbo peanuts will bring big
price In this market, and will be In

Mr.. Ryan's own State, Men with all
technical knowledge Of the matter have
cen sent to the Kongo.
Probably the most-used peanut Is
what Is called the Spanish, an offshoot
Of what used to be exclusively grown
in Spain. This Is the little round pea
nut so much used for sailing. In Vir-
sinla greater part of the crop grown
there Is called Spanish No. /. When
the crop Is short there the original
Spanish Is imported from Spain, but
in fact, 1t Is grown In Northern Africa.
The conditions Of the Virginia soil
make it superior for this nut over any
other section in the world except the
Kongo district
The Jumbo variety brings the highest
price, however, and naturally 1t was
that variety that Mr.. Ryan selected for
his crop. He will later grow the Span
ish peanut, which, although cheaper,
has q greater sale than the Jumbo. But
Mr.. Ryans advisers, knowing that the
Jumbo would have the greater sale IL
he price were lower, advised him to
try that grade first. And that Is the
grade that Mr.. Ryan will grow in the
Kongo district, and from the proceeds
thereof he hopes to be able to pay no
inconsderabe part of the expenses of
the working of his rubber plantations,
gold mines and copper enterprises

A Leap for Life.
Old Ironsides at anchor lay,
In the harbor Of Mahon
A dead calm rested on the bay
The waves to sleep had gone;
When little Hal, the captains son,
A lad both brave and good,
In sport, up shroud and rigging ran,
And on the main-truck stood
A shudder shot through every vein;
All eyes were turned on high
There stood the boy, with dizzy brain.
Between the sea and sky.
No hold had he above, below;
Alone he stood In air;
To that far height none dared to go
No aid could reach him there.
We gazed, but not a man could speak
With horror all aghast-
In groups, with pallid brow and cheek,
We watched the quivering mast.
The atmosphere grew thick and hot,
And Of lurid hue
AS riveted unto the spot
Stood officers and crew.
The father came on deck. He gasped,
20 God Thy will be done!"
Then suddenly a rifle grasped
And aimed 1t at his son.
Jump far out, boy, into the wave!
Jump, or | fire." he said.
That only chance your life can save;
Jump, jump, boy!" He obeyed.
He sank-he rose-he lived-he moved
And for the ship struck out.
On board we hailed the lad beloved
With many n manly shout.
The father drew, in silent joy,
Those wet arms round his neck,
And folded to his heart his boy
Then tainted on the deck.

CHAPTER XIV,

Angela and Major Butler were stand
Ing on the platform at Janenne Station
when the little engine with its freight
of three carriages steamed in. Mrs. Spry
was so eager to open the door herself
when the train came to a standstill that
she gave ORourke no chance to render
her that small service. The widow fell
upon Angela with great fervor, kissed
her, held her at arms length to observe
her, and then embraced her ORourke
busted himself in collecting )Irs. Spry's
belongings and his own. Whilst the two
women were still locked in their second
embrace, the major caught sight of him,
and came to his assistance, unwittingly.
"Har' cried the major, heartily
~You're back again? Glad to see you %
+You know Mr.. O'Rourke, don't youT
said Mrs. Spry, drawing Angela forward
-'You don't know how kind he has been.
I'm sure | cayn't tell what should have
done if it hadn't been for him."
O'Rourke emerged from the railway
carriage and raised his hat to Angela,
who responded to his salute somewhat
coolly, as he fancied.

tleman to himself. Does she object al

riage with all those dollars? | wonder

During Mrs. Spry's visit Angela heard
more than enough of O'Rourke's praises
The fortunate young gentleman was al
ways doing something which, in the pref
ty widows fancy. was worthy of admira-
tion, or saying something which was wor-
thy to be repeated. Angela had a genuine
liking for her guest and genuine unlik-
ing for O'Rourke; but she could not see
her way to exposing his tactics.
The friendship which was forming be-
tween Angela and Lucy was of a very
different and more deep-roOted sort than
that which existed between the little
American lady and either of them. The
married woman had her own experiences
to guide her, and she saw that the girl
was sad at Maskelyne's prolonged alb
sence. She more than guessed, too, that
the young American had retired before
O'Rourke's advances, which had been suf-
ficiently apparent to the observant wom-
an. And now that O'Rourke was 50
plainly paying court to richer woman
than Angela his old friends wife, who

The ShOt-Tower.

A mechanic named Watts Of Bristol,
England, used to make shot by pound
ing out bars Of lead into sheets Of the
required thickness and then cutting the
sheets into little cubes, which he rolled
In barrel until the corners We're worn
of by the friction. One night he
dreamed that he was out when 1t be-
gan to rain shot-little balls Of lead
falling all about him. He remembered
his dream the next morning and Won
dered what shape molten lead would
take If allowed to fall some distance
through the air. To determine this, he
carried a ladleful Of the metal up to
the top of church tower and dropped
1t into the moat below. Going down,
he took from the shallow water several
handfuls Of perfect shot. Thus came
to him the idea Of the shot-tower.

over the Hinsdale course. Thirty-six holes
Will be played today. and thirty-six tomor-

to the contestants than other links around
Chicago, was in almost perfect condition
for low scoring, the greens not too keen,
and not enough wind to interfere seriously.
Inc held was rather small, very few pro-
fessionals and no amateurs from the east
ern courses having entered, the pick of
the western professionals, including Willie
Anderson and Lawrence Auchterlonie, for
mer national champions, being among the

nine amateurs were entered for the two
days play. Willie Anderson and Stewart
Gardiner were paired, and drove off prompt
iy at 8 o'clock, being followed at brief
