SPOON MADE IN LIBBY
MEMENTO OF CIVIL WAR
Implement Carved Out With an
Ordinary Nail by F. L. Kel-
logg, Union Prisoner.

Having been put on his own resources
much of the time while in Libby
prison and having no desire to eat
with his fingers the meager food
served out. F. l.. Kellogg of Sc Hazel
wood avenue, Detroit, Mich, carved
himself a wooden spoon. And he
carved it with a nail, too! piece OF
board from the old prison furnished
the wood.
The spoon was brought to this en-
campment by Mr.. Kellogg. and il fitted
with a gold pin with which it is to be
fastened on Mr.. Kelloggs coat to be
born in the parade celebrating the
fiftieth anniversary of the grand re-
view by President Johnson.
Mr.. Kellogg is past commander OF
the Michigan division, Sons Of Vet
Grams, and member of Farragut Post,
G.. A. r. He served in Company G. Sth
Michigan Volunteer Infantry, and in
Company A, Stanton Guards.
The spoon has been used at every
banquet of the Michigan cavalry for
the past thirty-five years. 1t Is q
being used for all purposes for which
spoon was intended.
Mr.. Kellogg was captured by the
Confederates at Beverly. w. Va, and
prison, while quite noted in civil war
days as a hostelry. never had any sill
yer service such as might attract other
than involuntary guests. The lack OF
spoons. according to Mr. Kellogg, par
ticularly embarrassed him, SO he set
himself to work with n nail, one of the
plain ten-penny kind, and carved out
IA rough eating tool for himself. He
polished the spoon on brick.
When released from Libby Mr.. Kel-
logg took the spoon away with him.
1t first showed up in public when the
Michigan Cavalry Association was
formed, and Mr.. Kellogg ate with 1t
at the first regimental reunion, thirty
five years ago.

SIMPLE RULES TO FOLLOW
Woman Who Has Preserved Youth
Wonderfully Tells How 1t Has

met woman who is younger

DR.. L. K Hirshberg, and who says
she feels younger than her grand
daughter. She has a complexion free
from wrinkles, and a freshness of
laughter and voice that is joy to all
who hear her speak.
MY beauty rules?" she repeated,
with trilling laugh of real merri-
ment. Keep busy. Be kind. Don't
worry. Eat simply. There, 1 guess
II l have any rules, those will cover
the ground. don't say exercise, for
am always so busy that never need
any more exercise than l have to take.
/ walk wherever l can, for l love the
fresh air.
y never shirk stairs, and some
times l climb them instead of taking
the elevator. l eat just what I feel
need. eat only when l am hungry.
But, above all, I do not, cannot and
will not worry. Nor have an unkind
thought about a single person in the

What an Inch of Rain Means.

Did you ever realize the thousands
of tons Of rain fall even In the small
est showers? When you read in the
paper that the precipitation was one
inch you probably fail to comprehend
just what that means, but if you were
told that during the rain 10 tons of
water, or 600 huge barrels had fallen
on each acre of ground, then probably
you would be able to visualize just
what bad happened when the li-tIe
G-cps cine pattering on the roof.
When you reflect that. transforms
often cover great areas and extend
for many hours, or until four or five
.aches have fallen, you can imagine
me enormous oceans of water that
are precipitated during a storm. You
can also get a fair idea of the rea.
son why so-called cloud-bursts fire.
Quently do such fearful damage.

WOOING AT RISK OF LIFE
Excellent Reasons Why the Lot of a
Male Spider Can Not Be
Called Happy.

There are the spiders, who live and
die in the shadow of \ unique law
which declares that the female shall
be In all things stronger and wiser
than the male, 1t Ia impossible to find
elsewhere in nature such an sstonish-
Ing sex relation, for It is the chief OBJ
ject of the male spider to escape be-
ing devoured by the lady spider to
whom he has elected to surrender his
heart His whole structure Is designed
to aid and abet him in this perilous
undertaking. He Is smalEindeed
sometimes minute-strong Of limb,
agile, wary to an extreme. As q
natural result, his personality In not
prepossessing. He Is NO expert spin
ner. He goes his way through life,
now and then weaving an inadequate
web-a poor, lop-sided affair-to snare
the one or two gnats which are all he
needs as sustenance for his diminu-
tive body.
At length, at the proper hour he
discovers the silken castle of fe-
male, and observing, 1t, hesitates. pro-
foundry meditative. In this he is
not alone; for others, too, have obeyed
her silent summons-have come from
far places to group themselves dis
creetly near her. There is one suit
or perhaps, possessed of great valor
even SO, for days his courage fails
him; but at last, valiantly, this trouba-
dour advances and twangs one Of the
strands Of her web. BY this he strives
to discover her temper, to discern her
mood. At last, overcome by his own
temerity, he risks all and goes up her
silken ladder, stumbling over his own
multifarious legs, 30 great Is his
haste.
She watches him, immobile, tiny
sphinx made of velvet; then there is
sudden rush, fatal wrapping of
the entangling mesh-and an ogre
drops aside the body of gallant
knight, sucked dry. 1t was not au-
spicious, this venture; and six. more
suitors may meet like fate before
one succeeds in soothing her. No, the

LIQUOR LIKED BY ESKlMo5
Fierce Beverage That Is Distilled in
the Land of Perpetual Ice
and Snow.

Itnmay surprise those who associate
"moonshine" whisky only with the
southern states mountains, says a
writer in the Wide World, to learn
that since the suppression of the con-
traband heuor traffic between whites
and natives IN the North the Eskimo
has himself turned "moonshiner." No
touch Of romance clings to the bust
ness up there. There are no hidden
stills sending UP telltale columns OF
smoke from lonely eoves or purple
gleAs; NO solitary lockout on some
crag against the sky with rifle and
gouru neck horn to sound an alarm
when the revenue raiders come gallop-
ing over the rim Of the hills. Those
who prefer their moonshining in this
style would do better to stick to the
Cumberlands and Big Smokes. The
Eskimo does his moonshining in his
tgloo, or just outside in his own front
yard, az It were, under the eyes of his
neighbors. His distilling plant is
small and primitive affair. He can
hide it in sleeping bag, OF carry Il
off In his arms to the hills II a revenue
cutter shows N the ofing.
The still itself is usually an old oil
can; the fake stand, a powder keg;
the worm, twisted gun barrel; the
receptacle to catch the liquor that
drips from the worm, tomato can.
He knows nothing of the southern
mountaineer's mash" made from the
meal Of sprouted corn. His mash is
y fermented mixture of flour and mo-
lasses. He boils 1t by placing under
the still pan Of blubber oil in which
burns wick of twisted moss. The
vapor from the boiling mash passes
from the still into the worm, where it
is condensed by cold sea water, with
which the powder key is kept filled
by hand, and trickles out into the to-
mato can an alcoholic liquor which
tastes like none of the liquors of civil
cation, but equals the f1ercest of then
in Intoxicating potency. One deep swig
Of this moonshine Of the North will
make the usually timfd Eskimo brave
enough to face his mother-in-law or
polar bear with equally reckless disre-
gard Of consequences.
