A. N. BIyENs DEAD.

The death of A. n. Biyens last
Friday removes one of the best
known printers in this part of the
State. Although native of Cam
den, he had spent several years at
Baskerville and Huntingdon, and
for sometime he had charge of the
Review, published at Baskerville.
A few years ago he WENT to Hunt
ingdon where he was employed on
the Carroll County Democrat un-
til falling health the past summer
compelled him to relinquish his
position. Later he came here,
hoping the rest and change would
be beneficial, but he fell a victim
to that dreadful disease, consump-
ton, passing away peacefully.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. w. f. Acuff, pastor of the
Methodist Church, and the burial
was at Camden Cemetery Saturday
afternoon. Wedeeply sympathize
with the widow and children and
relatives, who are so lonely and
sad in their loss.

MASTERY OF THE NILE.
The Method by Which the Flow OF
Water Is Controlled.

The Method by Which tho Flow of
Water Is Controlled.
Every morning from little room Of
a great white house or the eastern
shore Of the Nile at Assouan Is clicked
by telegraph to Cairo the question.
"How much water?" The answer
comes so many thousand gallons more
or so many thousand gallons less. a
button is pressed, the water which
flows under the iron bridge at Cairo IS
increased or diminished some ten days
later in accordance with the telegraph
ic answer, and the intervening valley
between Assouan and Cairo has lit
tie more or a little less water on its
surface. The man at the button may
bring JOY or sorrow to thousands OF
little farms-it is all according to the
message he receives.
From the great white house there
extends across the river granite wall
or dam $50 feet high. halfway up
this wall and stretching Its entire
length a line Of shutters opens or
closes by a pressure Of the button.
In the winter months a huge lake ex-
pands to the southwark, which has ev-
cry appearance Of being food, for
in certain places the tops Of palm trees
are discernible above its surface, and
the SUBMITS Of inundated ruins appar-
entity mark the sites Of sunken cities.
As the days so by and Cairo demands
more and more water the palm trees
and the ruins seem to rise from their
watery beds until In June and early
July the river flows freely with all Its
historic indolence.-New YORK Times.

Great Falls Of the Potomac.

The Great Falls of the Potomac are
about fifteen miles above Washington,
but the neighboring country has re-
NAMED so wild and undeveleped that
the falls have been difficult to reach:
The famous Conduit or Aqueduct road,
so called because it Is built over the
big conduit which brings the national
capital its water supply, leads about
up to the falls on the Maryland side
and there stops. 1t Is famous as one
Of the best roads in the country, and
it is favorite drive with Washington
people and visitors. About halfway
up this road crosses a deep gulch BY
means Of the Cabin John bridge, ma
jesttc stone arch built by the govern
ment and until recently the longest
single masonry span in the wer!d.
about 22o feet. This bridge was be-
gun Just before the civil war, and
tablet was inserted in it's side, giving
the name Of JEFF Davis rs secretary OF
war. During the war his name was
mutNated by soldiers, and now It IS
entirely cut off.-Pathfnder.

He Mon the Breeches.

There IS proyerbial phrase signify
ing that the wife Is master in the
household, by which 1t is intimated
that "she wears the breeches." The
phrase is both odd and common and is
only half understood by modern eS-
plantations. but in medieval story we
learn how "she' first put in her claim
to wear this particular article Of dress.
a French writer Of the thirteenth
century Hugues Piaucelles) relates
some of the adventures Of couple
whose household was not entirely har-
monious. Sire Haines was the hus-
band; Dame Anieuse, the wife. After
a quarrel one evening Sire Hams said,
early In the morning will take of
my breeches and lay them down in the
middle Of the court, and the one who
can win them will be acknowledged
the master or mistress Of the house"
Dame Anieuse accepted the chal-
lenge. The battle was fought the next
morning. It was long battle. and it
was bloody. At the end Sire Hains
bore OF the oreeches, but the good
dame had convinced the world that she
was entitled to wear them in her own
house.

A MESSAGE FROM MARS.
His Proof That the Planet Was lnhab.
tied and Civilized.

His Proof That the Planet Was lnhab.
tied and Civilized.
Ebenezer was driving his masters
plow straight and true, but none the
less with a thoughtful air, as though
his thoughts were elsewhere. And so
they were; they were soaring far
aloft above the plow and the brown
earth turned Up as to reach Mars.
The previous evening Ebenezer had
attended lecture at the village school
room on 1.-The Heavens" and what the
lecturer had said about Mars being in
hablted profoundly impressed Eben-
ezer. AS he mechanically guided his
horses and lis plow something struck
him suddenly on the head, and ne
dropped senseless to the ground. a
balloonist passing overhead had accl-
dentally dropped an empty whisky bot
tie upon Ebenezer's fortunately thick
skull. Wen he recovered conscious
ness the balloon had passed out Of sight,
but the cut on his head and the blood
stained bottle at his feet remained.
Ebenezer gasped in amazement and
awe as he gazed all around the wide
brown fields and the blue sky above.
Then he picked up the bottle and
smelled at it and at once deserted his
team in great excitement and set of
posthaste for the yicarage.
81 nun tell vicar Mars be 'nabited
right enough" he muttered. Civil
lied, too; they drinks whisky."-Lon-

The Accommodating Spanish Cow.

The Accommodating Spanish Cow.
1t was the first COW we had seen in
Spain. and she had every right to be
the naughty creature that she was. a
girl led her about the plaza at dusk,
milking thimbleful of the rare beV-
erage at the houses Of the customers.
and it is hard to say which OF tie
three concerned was the most proud
the one sold. the one who bought or
the one who gave the milk. She Of the
bovine race was decorated with an old
chenille fringed curtain and. as though
that was not enough to boast Of, pulled
along the streets very unruly but
bouncing daughter. The calf was tied
to the tail of the COW by rope and
had already learned the inefable Joy
Of banging limp and being dragged by
her fond parent Fortunately the rope
was not too long for disciplinary pur-
poses, and when exasperated beyond
all polite admonition the clo7en hoof
of the mother set daughter upon her
feet once more.-Louise Closer Hale

Smallest Deer In the World.

The "mousedeer" is the chevrotain,
one Of the smallest Of hoofed animals.
It stands less than twelve inches in
height at the shoulder The prevailing
color Of the fur is brown, finely spec
kled with yellow. The spots are large
and sometimes run into each other and
form stripes. The underparts Of the
body are white. 1t possesses the pecul-
lar habit of walking on the tips Of its
hoofs. This lends stiffness to the
legs, which has gained for the chevro-
tain the reputation Of having no knee
joints. It has no horns or antlers.
But, as in the case Of the musk deer,
the male IS provided with large canine
teeth or tusks in the upper jaw. 1t Is
of exceedingly tlmid disposition and
lies hidden In the jungle throughout
the day and only ventures to feed In
the early morning and after dusk in
the evening. In captivity this tiny na-
tive Of India is gentle, quite tame, bus
always hy.-Chicago Tribune

D,wo on The Prairies.

While We ate the eastern sky light
ened. The mountains under the dawn
looked like silhouetes cut from slate
colored paper. Those in the west show
ed family luminous. Objects about Us
became dimly visible. We could make
out the windmill and the adobe Of the
ranch houses and the corrals. The
cowboys arose one Dy one, dropped
their plates into the dishpan and be-
gan to hunt out their ropes. Every
thing was obscure and mysterious In
the faint gray light I watched Windy
Bill near his tarpaulin. He stopped to
throw over the canvas. When he~bent
it was before daylight; when be
Strengthened his back daylight had
come. It was just like that, as though
some one had reached out his hand to
turn on the illumination Of the world

Removing Its Poison Fanes Does Not

a common misconception which Is
apt to lead to serious accidents is the
belief that rattlcr is rendered per
fectly harmless, so that it can be han,
died with ilnpunity, by the removal of
its poison fangs. These fangs, two in
number, are situated on the upper jaw
and lie fat except when the serpent
strikes, when they become erect and
the closing of the jaws congresses the
poison glands and injects the venom
through minute openings in them. In
striking its prey (for whatever charm
the serpent may employ to get it's vic
tim within easy reach it relies upon
the venom to give the coup de grace
these fangs may often be broken. and
nature has provided full supply of re-
serve weapons which lie dormant in
the gums and which within two weeks
will develop and replace the injured
fang.
An acquaintance who returned from
a hunting trip with twenty-five full
grown rattlers in a box kept them in
his Office for two months confined be-
hind a coarse meshed wire screen.
He handled them most carelessly, as
he had extracted the poison fangs, but
when shown that each Of them had de-
veloped Il perfect pair Of new ones
there was a sudden rise in the local
snake mortality. One was preserved
and sent to the Bronx zoo. whore it
a short time afterward produce1 q
large litter Of young ones. which could
have easily crawled through the screen
behind which the mother had 5een
kept as each Of them possessed the
poison apparatus in full commission
and was without the power to rattle,
they would have been even more dan
gerouS than adult snakes.
Professional snake handlers are Of
ten ignorant Of this power to quickly
replace fangs possessed by rattlers,
and this ignorance led to serious ac-
cident to one of them. BE was badly
bitten and narrowly escaped death, his
recovery being attributed to the gener-
GUS amount Of whisky which was i'm
medfately administered to him, which
illustrates another mistaken idea. It is
a pity to shatter pleasant illusion,
but alcohol. except in very small doses.
Is harmful rather than beneficial as an
antidote to snake bite poison.
AS q matter of fact, although the
symptoms Of rattlesnake poisoning are
most painful and alarming, an adult
rarely dies from the bite Of the variety
common in the north. The diamond
backs Of the south attain much lar
ger size and consequently inject more
venom, and their bite is proportonate-
ly more dangerous.-Francis Metcalfe
