CAPTAIN ROGERS SLIDE

Bald Mountain or Rogers Rock on
the west shore of Lake George rears
its pondefbus bulk OF granite to an al
most perpendicular height OF 1.10O
feet, being matched by a similar bulk
and height on the east, half a mile
away. Here Captain Rogers and his
small army on snowshoes were de-
feated by large army of French
and Indians. The small remnant were
scattered through the forest at the
top of the mountain, and party OF
Indians tracked the marks of the
snowshoes OF the refugees. When
Rogers became aware that he was
likely to be driven over the precipice,
he made his way to the brink. threw
his pack and accoutrements down the
slide to the lake. He then turned his
snowshoes around and, after stealing
along the edge of the hill, made his
way down the lake, picked up his
pack, reversed his snowshoeS and
sped southwark to the Narrows, where
he was met by Captain Stark with re-
Inducements and provisions. The In
dams followed Rogers tracks to the
brink, where, seemingly, were two
tracks to the precipice. They con-
cluded that two white men had slid
down to the ice below. While gazing,
they saw a mile away the form OF
Rogers. But considering him under
the special protection of the Great
Spirit, they MADE no further pursuit

EVER TAKE A MUSIC BATH7
Holmes Says, as Water cor
the Body.

One must be educated, no doubt. to
understand the more complex and diff
fcult kinds of musical composition. Go
to the concerts where you know that
the music is good, ana that you ought
to like 1t whether you do or not. Take
music bath once or twice week for
a few seasons, and you viii find that 1t
Is to the soul what the water bath Is
to the body. 1 wouldn't trouble myself
about the affectafions of people who
go to this or that series OF concerts
chiefly because it is fashionable. Some
OF these people whom we think so
silly will perhaps find, sooner or later,
that they have a. dormant faculty
which is at last waking up, and that
they who came because others came.

LIGHTNING CALCULiT0RS

The clerical stats oe many Of the
big insurance companies have of late
years been considerably reduced by
the employment OF mechanical cal
culators.
One of these, the invention Of a
German, is a compact little affair
resembling music box. 1t may be
made to perform almost instantane-
ously the most portentous sums In
addition, subtraction, multiplication by
one or two factors, division, squaring
and cubing. 1t is required, for in
stance, to multiply 531,975 by 924. The
first factor is set by touching little
knobs representing 531,975.
To multiply by the other factor you
turn a handle four times, push long
slide one place and turn the handle
twice, then push the slide another
place onward and turn the handle nine
times. The long multiplication is
now done without the possibility OF
error so far as the machine Is con-
cerned and the dial shows 1854, 800.
In the same mechanical way may be
done all the other arithmeticai Pre-
cesSeS.

Hiilocks of Vegetation.

At this time of the year farmers are
busy making miniature mountains on
their holdings, mountains that will be
scattered over the countryside before
the winter is over.
The mountains in question are those
formed of vegetable produce that must
be kept for several months, and sold
as occasion requires. Potatoes. beet.
root, carrots and turnips are raised
from the ground in September and
stored.
The farmer calls his hill0ck of vege-
tables a clamp" He makes it on a
piece of high ground near the home
stead, so that it may not be flooded
and many a big grower has clamps a
quarter of mile long.
First, shallow ditch is dug on the
piece Of land selected The base of this
is lined with straw, and upon the straw
the roots are heaped up firmly and
carefully, till they resemble an elon
gated cone.
Over the sides of the cone more
straw is laid, and on that again earth
or, better still, tufts, with their grassy
sides inwards. Bricks will not keep
out frost, but straw will, and a we'll
made clamp is frost proof, and also
damp proof

pear meringue. Whtsk the whites OF
eggs to a stiff froth and add powdered

Pear dumplings are popular with
those who know this delicacy. The
pear, which is peeled and cored, is
wrapped in a light pastry and baked
like apple dumplings. For pear frit-
