Queer Skates.

Here is a very simple contrivance
I thought of the other day." said
Uncle Dick, pulling a drawing out OF
his pocket 1T is just possible that
this is the first roller skate ever made.
I'm not sure of that, but I do know
that this idea of Bill Smiths was en-
tirely original with him.
There was a steep hill running
from our place up to the Boggs farm
at an angle Of nearly forty-five degrees.
The bed Of the road was shale rock,
powdered fine and as smooth as an
asphalt street. In the winter the boys
and girls for miles around came there
to coast and during the sleighing sea-
son it was the liveliest spot in the
country. Well, one day Bill and l
were walking up the hill road on a
visit to the Boggs boys, when all of
sudden Bill stopped and said: Say,
Dick, isn't it a shame we can only
coast on this hill when there is snow
on the ground?' I noticed he was
sort of preoccupied all that afternoon
a pair Of barrel stave roller skates.
You can well imagine that in less than
a week the hill was an animated in
appearance as if it were winter time
and all the boys in the neighborhood
were skidding down the hill on bar
rel slaves.
'Of course, we made our own wheels
but I noticed you can buy ready-made
wheels in the little toy shops about
here. You must be very careful in
selecting your barrel slaves and test
them we'll before fastening your
barrel slaves and test them well be-
fore fastening your wheels on. The
old-fashioned barrels were made of
hickory and had just the right spring
to make them ride easy, but the new
tangled barrels are made of wood pulp,
paper and every old thing. Still, you
can find the right sort if you try
hard"
Sure enough, Tommy found a -four
barrel with good springy slaves; the
wheels cost him two cents each, and
he was soon not only coasting down
the inclines near his home, but learn
ed to skate up the hill on his barrel
slaves, Of course. his friends immedi-
ately caught on and the sport became
general.-New York Herald.

Hen and Horse COMPANIONS.

Henry Ransome, farmer living
near here, has a leghorn hen a year
and a half old, which is never happy
unless it is near horse he uses for
general farm work. The attachment
is mutual and strong, and where you
find one you are pretty sure to find
the other.
A year ago last spring a biddy made
a nest in Dobbins manger and re-
fused to get out. AS the horse offered
no objections, Mr.. Ransome left the
hen undisturbed, and in due time she
Matched out a fine flock of chicks. 1t
was one of this flock that took a
shine to Dobbin At first the horse
didn't pay much attention to the little
one, but after time, as he seemed
to miss it when it was shut up in the
hen house, it was given the run of
the barn.
When Dobbin went into the field to
work the chicken followed, always
keeping in sight Of the horse, and
when the work was done it returned
and roasted on the headstill This
kept UP for many weeks, and all the
time the attachment grew stronger.
Finally, one day Mr.. Ransom's road
mare went lame, and he drove old
Dobbin to the village. Before sstart-
ing he shut up the hen, but she man
aged to get loose and start in pursuit.
Helped by her wings, she made fast
time, and when Mr.. Ransome was
about a mile from home he found her
trailing at the wheel. Since then she
has accompanied Dobbin on the road
as we'll as in the feIds.-McKeeye

The Good Deed.

Shakespeare says, How shines a
good deed in a naughty world" and
here is an instance in point, taken
from an exchange:
A humane woman who owns a beau
tiful place in the country was much
distressed by the suffering endured
by small animals during the summer
for want of water. Accordingly she
had wooden bucket sawed off about
one-third from the top and sunk into
the ground to within few inches Of
the surface. It was filled with fresh
water every night and morning, and
the mistress of the house often heard
the suffering and neglected dogs Of
her nighbors drinking from it at night

It's the Hit That Counts"


"Boys, it's the hit that counts" said
President Roosevelt recently to some
middies at target practice
Yes boys; it's the hit that counts
everywhere. There is such a thing
as honorable failure, but honorable
success is better. And, do you know,
my lads, that success is very much a
matter Of habit? The habit is usually
formed at school, and when once form
ed it abides. 1t is true that some boys
who were failures at school have sue
ceeded fairly well in after life, but
they succeeded not because of the fail
ure, but in spite of it; and failure is
always hard to overcome. On the con
trary, you watch the lad who succeeds
in all his undertakings at school, in
the class room, in his examination, in
class room contests and in field con-
tests, and if you will follow that lad
in his after career you will be apt to
find a successful man. It's the habit
he has formed of hitting and not miss

Fable Of q Wolf.

A Farmer who had suffered the loss
of several sheep from the depreda-
lions of a wolf dug a pit with the
hope of capturing the animal. Great
was his joy when he went out one
morning and found the wolf at the
bottom of the hole. He was gathering
rocks to pelt the captive to death
when the wolf observed:
81 make it a rule to attend to my
business and let other folks do the
same, but in this case l want to say
that you have made a serious mis-
take"
81 don't see how" replied the farm
er.
"Why, this pit is so shallow that
the lion can easily spring out Of it,"
what lion?"
"The one who will soon devour your
OK unless you trap him. Come down
here and I will help you to dig it
deeper. Had the lion fallen in here
he would have only laughed in con
tempt"
BY gum, but I never thought of
that" exclaimed the farmer as he
jumped down into the hole and began
to dig it deeper. A moment later the
Wolf vaulted lightly upon his Shout

The Ace Of an oyster.

ut is the easiest thing in the
world" said a Washington Market
dealer, ITO find out just how old an
oyster is. The lines in the groove of
the hinge of the shell tell the whole
story These lines are a true index
to the number of layers composing
the She'll being in fact nothing else
than their attenuated tails. One of
these layers grows each year, and no
matter how hard the sensitive oyster
may try to keep it from showing it
is bound to overlap its predecessor
and leave a ridge which, no doubt, is
just as annoying to the oyster tribe
as an annual wrinkle would be in the
human race
up to the time of an oysters mas
turity these layers are arranged with
regularity, but after that they fairly
pile over each otheS, just as if the
birthdays had crowded upon each
other so rapidly that the oyster didn't
have time to spread out one new plate
before another was right at his heels.
An oyster comes OF age when it is
four years old. That means that the
oyster is old enough to take care of
a family and go to market Going to
market is a disastrous undertaking,
because four-year-old oyster is
particularly palatable, and brings a
higher price at that age than at any
other. New York Evening Post

NEW DIAMOND DISCOVERY.
Remarkable Solution for Treating
Hard Blue Pretoria Ground.

Remarkable Solution for Treating
Hard Blue Pretoria Ground.
If all that is claimed for a new pro-
cess is realized a revolution lies before
the diamond-mining industries, says
the London Miner. Hard blue dia-
moniferous earth has so far resisted
profitable treatment Many thousand
of pounds have been spent on perfect
ing machinery for treating 1t, but so
far without success from a CONNER
cial standpoint
Now Mr., Christopher Hamilton, the
author of the new process, has dis
covered a new element which will
readily dissolve the ground.
A mining expert who saw one of the
earliest tests thus describes the pro-
cess: A piece Of hard blue Cor hardi-
bank from good depth from one
OF the Pretoria mines was taken. 1t
was impossible to make any impression
upon this piece of rock either with
the hands or by stamping upon it.
Mr. Hamilton placed about tea
spoonful of the solution in a tumbler.
diluted it to full measure and poured
it over the specimen.
Almost instantly it permeated the
mass, and within half a minute it was
easy to break off large pieces With
a slight blow on the side of box it
was broken in half The cleavage
shoed that the solution had pemeated
the entire mass
Previously some of the hardest blue
from various mines in the o. r. G. had
been solutionized with equally favor
able results A few seconds action
(not necessarily imersion) makes the
hardibank easily frangible and further
treatment makes it crumble.
The metamorphosis is so remarkable
that it is absolutely necessary that the
treatment should be seen before it is
believed.
In actual practice the rock would be
passed direct from the mine shaft
through the solution into the pans, and
the inventor is confident that it will
require nothing more than the action
Of the fingers of the scrapers to en-
tirely disintegrate it. Mr. Hamilton
has already prepared plans of special
treatment tanks and has arranged the
method of passing through the solu
ton.
1t is calculated that the cost of this
treatment will be less than one penny
per load, as against something in the
neighborhood of a couple of shillings
by the direct treatment.
The right to use the solution has
been acquired by one of the leading
Rand houses against very substantial
cash payments and royalties, subject
only to the demonstration by the i'm
ventor that the process can be applied
in bulk
Besides the economy which this
scheme effects, breakage of diamonds
is entirely prevented

4. How much wood would wood

they shall be spoken quite rapidly, and
you will have lots of fun.

Clothes Made Of Glass.

A Venetian glass manufacturer is

liancy of color possess by silk. No

A peculiarly strong and light mate
rial for clothing is found in the paper
used by the Japanese for under
clothes. It is a thin, finely crisped or
grained paper, and the clothing is
sewed and hemmed as if it were of
cloth. 1t makes a garment strong and
exceedingly. flexible
A French officer has been making
reports to his government on the test
ing Of this material, and asserts that
it is particularly light and tough.
When an effort is made to tear it by
hand it offers almost as much resist
ance as does the think skin used in
glove making. Even when wet the
paper is hard to tear.
