When They Mined the Nile.

In the Sudan campaign as the Brit lsh troops approached Omdurman the KhaIifa Abdullah conceived the idea of upsetting the British gunboat ex- petition by mining the Nile. A former officer of the Egyptian army whom he had long held prisoner was order ed by the khalifa to construct a couple of mines, which were produced forth with. They were primitive in form, consisting. in fact. of two old iron boilers stuffed with gunpowder, in which was concealed a pistol with string attached to the trigger whereby the charge could be exploded. The first mine was laid by the Ismailia. worked by a native crew, and demon strated its efficiency by exploding on the instant. sinking the Ismailia and killing the crew. including the mine constructor.
 The khalifa was delighted, not at the accident. but at the testimony to the power of the invention. and immedi- ately ordered the emir in charge of his arsenal to lay the second mine. The ameer. profiting by experience. insured his safety by putting the Nile into the boiler before he put the boiler into the Nile he thsH carried out the fmmer- sion successfully. to the joy of Abdul Iah, who loaded him with presents and praises. es."-Manchester Guardian.

PANTHER AND BEAT.
Vicious s1ttl< to the Death With .

A Vicious s1ttiS to the Death With Tnrniirs Climax.
 "When my grandfather was q Noung man he used to hunt great deal" says writer in the American Maga- zine. He had q brother livlng in Mon tana. and in tue fall of 1858 he dec.ded to go and SpenI the winter with this brother and hunt. One day his brother was telling about d large cave in the mountains where some panthers lived. He thought it would be q good chance to try to get one. So one morning few days later he started out to find the cave. When he came ill sight of it he didn't see any stir. so kept creeping closer.
 He finally came to q path: there seemed to be d lot of different tracks. He began looking for Il pllce to hide and finally discovered q lelge and climbed up and sat down to rest. Sud denly he heard sound of cracking brush. He got his rife up ready when down the path came an old bear and three cubs: the l.ttla cul's were playing like kittens. he cid tear walked up to ihe cave. sniffed q few times and went in. in q few minutes she came out with q ltIe panther, killed it and three times. and every one she killed would scream and the old panther wo;lld answer away off in the woods. and each time nearer.
 After she had killed them all she cEffed the cubs and sent them up tree. Then she began digging q hole in the ground and snih ng tic air. In few minutes the old panther scream ed and it seenel just d little distance away. The old bear. lay down on her back in the hole she had dug. She was ready for fight. The panther came straight for the bear. She gave one leap and stru k on the bear. There was a fierce struggle. with screaming and Snarlin". and in less than ten miu- uteS the bear was torn to fragments. The panther walked into the cave and came right out again and gave q scream that was bIoodeurdIing. Just then she saw the cubs. She gave leap and brought one down and killed it. and went after the rest and killed them.
 ''She sniffed the air again and began coming toward my grandfather. who had been watching from the ledge above. He raise,l his rife, took good aim and fired.
 'That was tn" last he knew until he became conscious again. for he faintel as soon nS he shot. sbut the panther was dead--he had hit her between the eyes.
 He didn't wait to pick up his lunch box. but went fast for home.
 He often says that is the most game he ever got with one bullet. but he wouldn't want to see it all over again."

FaIIinu Up Out of a Balloon.

If a man falls out of rising aero plane or balloon he will not go toward the earth. but will continue rising into the air for ln appreciab time. If the air machine were stopped in its ascent at the time it could catch the man as he came down. If the airship were ascending at the rate of thirty-two feet Il S;,t ,tcntl tue man would rise sixteen feet Lefore bcgil.Iing to fall toward the earth. Thus by reducing the speed of it's ascent. the vessel might keep by the sde of tie man and rescue hin.
 The reason why the man rises is the sane as the reason for a bullets rising when shot from q gun into the air both the man and the bullet are given velocity upward. and it takes some time for &. vity to negative that velocity.-G. .:lsgow News.

Th. EauIts oF Others.

Charity does not require of us that we should not see the faults of others, but that we should avoid all needless and voluntary observing of them and that we should not be blind to their good qualities when we are so sharp sighted in their bad ones. What if others are weak. is that reason for your no loncer keeping any measure with them? You that complain of their troubling you, do you give mo- body any trouble? You that are so shocked at the faults you see-if all to whom you have been troublesome should return the trouble they have had with you. you would be oppressed with the weight. and, besides, even supposing that men had nothing to re proach you with. yet consider, further. what obligations you be under from God to show forbearance toward oth- CTS for which you know you have such abundant occasion at his hands, FeneIOn

German Soldiers sn by Order.

Here Is curious instance of the German way of doing things. The German military system does not take into account the natural impulse of q charging. excited trooper to yell any way under the vociferous conditions of q battle. He Is commanded to yell as part of the shock action to which each man must contribute to make oyerpow- ering. During the winter schooling be actually is drilled in individual charg- ing to yell at certain point in the charge and Is severely criticised if he does not make noise enough. It is the same with singing. The Germans are naturally musical people and sing spontaneously. but with regiments fin the field songs are started and stopped by command.-world's Work.

CORROBORATION
Of Interest to Stafford Springs
 Readers.

. For months Stafford Springs citizens have seen in these columns enthus fast ic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, by residents of this locality.
 Would these prominent people re- commend remedy that had not prov en reliable?
 Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement
 The following statement should carry conviction to the mind of every Stafford Springs reader. Samuel Dikeman, West Main street. {, Willimantic, Conn.,, says: For over year l suffered more or less from my kidneys and back. The complaint was Ialways aggravated if I caught cold. I finally saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and got supply. They did me great deal of good.

Jehovah did not enforce this sentence at hard labor by putting q guard over Adam. Eve was not placed in charge. nor yet the willy serpent The offender was merely driven forth from the garden that was full of trees. The trees had made it paradise. Every tree that was pleas ant to the sight and good for food was there. The inhabitants walked about in the comfortable shade ard ate. When thirst arose there were the juices of fruits and palm wine. The spop- taneous products of the garden even supplied the first demand for clothes. On that bitter day of expulsion these erstwhilc happy harvesters of treetops were driven forth from this rich and fruitful shade, driven to the fields to e;lt the herl, of the field and to win bread by the sweat of their faces.- Atlantic Monthly.

A Cure For Snake Bite.

Many are the curious methods adopted for curing snake bites. but surely none can be more so than way of which our Bhavagar correspondent informs US. Two natives in village near that station were. he says. brought back to life after being bitten by a cobra.
 The victims were seated on the ground and there held. while from a height of sixteen feet gallons Of bot water were poured on their heads. Presently. according to the correspond ent. the victims took new lease of life." and are as we'll as though they had never been in the jaws of death at all
 The explanation to this "cure" prob ably is that the snake. as often hap pens. bit it's victims. but injected no poison into them Thus the men were merely terrified and continued to be frightened until the pain caused by the douche of hot water gave them some thing else to think about.-Civil and Military Gazette.

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful Agency on the Farm-The Press, Pulpit and School a Trinity of Influence That Must Be
 Utilized in Building
 Agriculture.
Rv Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

 A broad campaign of publicity on the subject of rural life is needed ln this state today to bring the problems of the farmers to the forefront. The city problems are blazoned upon the front pages of the metropolitan dail- ies and echoed in the country press, but the troubles of the farmers are seldom told, except by those who seek to profit by the story, and the glitter of the package ofttimes ob- scures the substance. A searching in vestigation into the needs of the farmers will reveal many inherent de- fects in our economic system that can be easily remedied when properly un- derstood and illuminated by the pow CT of the press.
 The rural press, the pulpit and the school are a trinity of powerful in- f1uences that the farmer must utilize to their fullest capacity before he can occupy a commanding position in pub lie affairs, These gigantic agencies are organized in every rural community and only await the patronage and CO
 
 velop tReir energy and usefulness. They are local forces working for the best interests of their respective communities Their work is to build and their object is to serve. They prosper only through the development and prosperity of the community,
 Every farmer in this state should subscribe for the local paper, as well as farm periodicals and such other publications as he may find profitable, but he should by all means subscribe for his local paper, and no home should be without it. The local paper is part of the community life and the editor understands the farmers prob lems It is the local press that will study the local problems and through it's columns deal with subjects of most vital importance to local life of the community.

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country papers mimic the city press by giv ing prominence to scandals, accidents and political agitation. The new rural civilization has placed upon the rural press renewed responsibilities, and enlarged possibilities for useful ness 1t cannot perform it's mission to agriculture by recording the frail- ties. the mishaps and inordinate am bitions of humanity, or by filling it's eAumns with the echoes of the strug- gles of busy streets, or by enchanting stories of city life which lure our children from the farm.
 It has a higher and nobler task. Too often the pages of the ciey dailies bristle with the struggle of ambitious men in their wild lust for power, and many times the flames of personal conflict scar the tender buds of new civilization and illuminate the path way to destruction. The rural press is the governing power of public senti- ment and must hold steadfast to principle and keep the ship of state in the roadstead of progress The rural press can best serve the inter- ests of the farmers by applying it's energies to the solution of problems affecting the local community. It must stem the mighty life current that is moving from the farm to the cities, sweeping before it a thousand boys and girls per day. It has to deal with the fundamental problems of civilization at their fountain head. It's mission is to direct growth, teach eff ficiency and mold the intellectual life of the country, placing before the pub lie the daily problems of the farmers and giving first attention to the leg islative, cooperative, educational and social needs of the agricultural classes within its respective community.
