The follow-' ing was one he used to tell: "When I was driving coach from Nashua to Lawrenees I Used to always stop over night in a small town about half-way between the two cities. Oue day three or four of us got a large piece of cardboard and printed on it: 'The fellow who is courting a certain married young woman had better leave town, as the husband is on to him. And, would you believe it, in less than two hours after that sign fcad been posted on a tree in the vil lage every man in town had left, ex cept three old cripples and one ma who had not read the sign." Pigeon's Long Flight. Wings battered and , tail feather partly gone-, too plainly telling the story of captivity from which it had escaped, a pigeon which was one of the contestants in the 400 mile race from Memphis to Louisville, has reached Its 16ft in the yard of the home of Charles Wirth, nearjy two weeks late. The bird flew into its loft as if glad to get back home, but it showed that, it had not had a pleas ant journey from Memphis. It is supposed that the pigeon was trapped by some one when it was blown out of its course by "the storm the birds are known to have en countered. Although it is not posi tively known, it is easily supposed that the bird, after being held in cap tivity for several days, was released-, ' j the capturers thinking the bird would stay. As soon as it was turned loose the bird took up it's-interrupted flight to Louisville and h,ome. Louisville Courier-Journal. 'S&'S'-i? SHOES 83. W. L.

SPEAKING OF SKA-SKHPENTS. . jtZtQt 'E cruised in sailing craft f t ou the coast for almost S 1 2 ,H'V('nt.v years, sometimes jL niiiking as many as ten TPKSisr voyages to Penobscot Bay in a single, year, and I've never soon, a sea-serpent or anything that lonk! :;kt one," said Captain John Ilerriek. who commanded a ship which carried -troops to Vera Cruz in MHw Mexican.

'About IS,",!), when 1 lie celebrated Aroostook -war over the boundary line beiween Maine and New Brunswick was: raging. I brought up a large cargo of sugar from Cuba, ami landed at Kiuiiki'orl. After we had broken out the cargo and were clearing up the dunnage the crow found a live alliga tor in the holt!. If was an ugly bride about ten feet long, and they roped it fast and dumped it over the rail. "When I came bai-k next trip there were siorii-s about a big sea-serpent in every village along the river. The people of Belfast were so worked up that, men in boats -went out and hunted beast. i-l.arer it was seen playing among the rock-- off Isle an ITaur. and the readouts were so seared that a rev enue cutter was sent down to hunt for the monster. Then it was seen off'Sonthwcst Harbor on Mount Des ert Island, playing pranks Avith the fishermen and scaring life women most to death. "Thoo who- saw the creature said it was from twelve lo twenty foot long and had four legs like a lizard, while its back was plated with big scales which made it bullet-proof. I made due allowance for exaggerated size, and came to the conclusion that that sea-serpent was the alligator that my schooner had brought from tire West Indies., , ., 'In the winter of 1S41, when the old steamer Bangor went' ashore, on North Haveii Island, there was a menagerie on board on- its: way. from St. John. New Brunswick, to New York. Most of (lie animals and some South Amer ican snakes escaped, and I have al ways thought that Ihe fast-swimming sea-serpent, able to outstrip the best sailboat in the lishing fleet, that was seen t!u ne.xt summer in the waters of Vinalhaven; Hurricane and Dix Isl ands, was a survivor of that disaster. 'The most exciting story of all was told" by the men who netted herrings near Eastport during the Presidential contest between Buchanan and Fi'r- mont, in 1 $."(!. After the gale of Sep tember the men of the herring fleet saw a snake more than 200 feet long and large round as a barrel disporting itself in the rough -waters off Treat's Island. "Several of the witnesses were men of standing in the community, and not given to exaggeration; and for two weeks, while the gale lasted, that sea serpent let itself out full length to terrorize everybody. 'When the easterly gale had abated and the wind came offshore, more than thirty boats put out to slay the se'a'-sorponr. They wore gone nearly all day. At night they returned, tow ing -behind t-heiu Albert McFaul's line of herring buoys, that had gone adrift In the gale. 'McFaul used very deep nets, so that the ordinary wooden buoys wore unable to sustain the weight of the rigging attached to them, and the owner had substituted empty mackerel kits foi solid wood. When those casks were strung out in line in a rough sea a man might take them for a sea-serpent.;' "Then you doubt " began the Sun correspondent. 'T wouldn't go as far as that," said the captain, with a comfortable smile. 'But most sea-serpents can be ex plained away if you try hard enough." A COWBOY'S LESSON. Sherman's army, in its march to the fea. ieva.stpd certain parts of (Jeorgia for miles fn its passing. Foraging par ties scoured the country on each side of its path. In "The Log of a Cow boy," the author telis of his first ex perience as the guardian of cattle an experience which he had gained in (Jeorgia at that time. .. Our work stock consisted of two yoke of oxen, whib our other cattle num bered three cows, and for saving -them from the foragers credit must he given to my mother's generalship. There was a wild cajie-brake. In which the cattle fed. several hundred acres in extent, about a mile from our farm, ami it was necessary to bell them in order- to lnr-ate tlieni when wanted. But the cows were in the habit of r-cming up to lie. milked, and a soldier can hear a bell as .we'd as any one. I was a lad of eight at the time, and v.liil" my two older brothers worked our few tiells. I was sent into the ra no-bra kf. to herd the cattle. We bad removed the bells from the o:c n i:nl oowr. but one rc was belled each pveniug. to be unboiled again at d:y hiva'k. - I always carried the bell with :i.e. stuffed with gras.--, in order to have it at luaud when- wauled.

Concealed in the rank cane, I stood and watched them. ' Suddenly a squad of live or six turned a point of the brake and rode within fifty feet of me. I stood like a stone statue, my concealment being perfect. After they had passed I took a step forward, the better to watch them as they rode away. Just then "the grass dropped out of the bell" and the bell clattered. A red-whiskered soldier heard the tinkle, and wheeling his horse, rode back. I grasped the clap per and lay flat on the ground, my heart beating like a trip-hammer, lie rode within twenty feet of me, peering into the. thicket of cane, and not see ing anything unusual, turned and loped after his companions. Then the. lesson, taught me by mother, of being "faithful over a things." flashed through niv mind; although our cattle wore spared to us, I felt very guiltv. sal- my few and DEEP DIVINE FEATS. At what depth can a diver carry out his functions? I low long can ho re main under the surface? What is the effect of high air pressures on the human system? One well known firm of submarine engineers limits the depth of descent, to twenty-live fath oms, or, say, l."u feet. But operations have been' carried out at greater depth than this, and perhaps the greatest distance below , the surface at which a man has succeeded in working i.s thirty-four fathoms, or lii)4 feet. This was accomplished by James Hooper, who descended to the ship Cape Horn, sunk off Pichidanque, South America, and sustained a pressure of eighty eight and one-half pounds on every square inch of his body. Another remarkable feat was that of Alexander Lambert, who recovered 70.000 in gold coin from the steam ship Alphonso XII. , sunk off Point Cando. Grand Canary, in nearly thirty fathoms of water, the actual depth of the treasure room being twenty-six and two-thirds fathoms or l't'.O foot. This man' also performed the daring feat of stopping the flooding of 'the Severn Tunnel when a door in. the drainage tunnel had been left open. The door was situated a quarter of a niije dis tant from the shaft, but equipped in his diving dress he crept that distance through a narrow passage full of water and closed the door.' This piucky act enabled the pumps to overcome the volume of water which was flooding "the working and .allowed the comple tion of the. tunneJMo be carried out.- ' A further interesting case of deep diving is that of Angel Erostarbe. who succeeded hi recovering silver bars val ue! -at 0000 from the steamer Skyio, sunk off Cape Finisterre in over thirty fathoms. In this case Ihe diver had to blow away portions of the vessel with dynamite before he could reach tht treasure chamber. Three dives per diem were frequent, and as many as live descents were made in one day. The maximum period under water was twenty minutes. The effect of high pressures on the constitution is not found injurious when the work is carried out under ordinary precautions. A French sci entist has gone so far as to claim that breathing compressed air is a remedy for asthma and emphysema. It is hIso said to excite digestion, owing to the great quantity of oxygen carried into the blood. It has been found that a. period of two hours should elapse be tween a meal and a descent. In de scending the movement should be slow, and if the pressure causes pains in the head this can be remedied by rising gently a few feet, when the descent can be recontiniiod. In ascending div ers are recommended not to exceed a speed of two feet per second. Pall Mall Gazette. BIG BEAR AT LABGE. One of the members of a prospect :n.2 party met with an experience which will make him long remember the wilds of the Black Hills. A number of men arrived at Dead wood. S. D.. a few days ago from Win nipeg and proceeded to make tiicisi selves acquainted with the surround ing country. While wandering over the hills George Barraeluugh, ihe n-li-cial photographer of the parly, wan dered aw;iy and became separated from the rest. He was hunting for some good snap shots, and when be had crossed the ridge where Wild Bill and bis old chum, Calamity .lane. lie burie-I, he suddenly discovered that he was- not alone. Glancing around in response to a muttered growl he saw a huge grizzly bear. All his artistic sense awoke in his desire to get a snap shot of bruin, but the bear did not like the camera and made a bee line for the tripod and the operator, who, without cere ,;: .i:ey, Hod precipitately. The heat did not. follow, but Mr. Barrachmgh in his haste slipped and fell from a precipice, fracturing a rib and hurting himself otherwise. The bear is still at larg(. St. Paul Pioneer Press.

It is a well known principle that the buying power of any given sum is greatly increased by the distance be tween the would-be buyer and' the mill). The February allowance, viewed from January, looms large and magni ficent. Having an account, the woman who sees the allowance in the near future, orders with a prodigality to fit her impressions. It requires the al lowance of March and April to meet the indebtedness. Of course, the account habit fosters extravagance. A woman would hesi tate to buy a green siik waist or to or der the nectarines which she could live contentedly enough without, did she have to take the last coin or bid in her purse to pay for them. But they are to be charged! Happy thought! She can have them and keep the money in her purse and she ami next month has none, says the Boston Traveler. "If I had daughters," said a capital ist, "l should n.ever permit them ro have an account with any shop. The account habit is productive of nnn'o pecuniary trouble than any other, and no woman should be brought up in this country of feather-blown fortunes on any plan which would not be a good one for the poor." "But an account is so convenient. ne needn't wait for change,'' said ne woman. "You can get what you need in May and pay foi it hi June and have a month's happiness out of it. Is that worth nothing?" asked the second. "It's all the same in the end.'' said a third. "You have so much money; you always spend it. What's the dif ference whether you spend it before or after receiving it?" The account habit makes debt seem natural, and not in the least disgrace ful. It utterly destroys the habit of e!f-deiiial in little luxuries. And there are very few women whom linancial position and whose mora! natures are sufficiently high to be en tirely impervious to these things. with pollen,' which' lo the fooJf. larva-baby bees.

Artless as the girl of sixty years ago was supposed to be. she spent as much time before the mirror and its 'many anxious hours over the composition of her wardrobe as any modern beauty. She was, however, more careful to conceal "this interest in-'hoi' persona i appearance? 'than the maid of in-day lias any desire or need to do.' . Vanity in the bygone days" was a thing ovci which lte'ads were shaken, and which it was considered necessary to. drive out of the small girTs'liea'd. It was numbered with untruthfulness, malice and evil temper as a very dreadful shortcoming. The assertion which is unblushingly ' tna'de to-day that it is woman's isitive duty to look nice and to devote time and money to enhancing her prcttinoss or mitigating her plain ness, would have appeared to the early Victorian a demoralizing statement in deed. Neither would the theory that a spice, of vanity in every woman's com position is necessary to make her thor oughly charming have met with ap proval from a more puritanical genera tion. it is indisputable that the unat tractive woman is generally a less agreeable companion than the one whoso vanity is satisfied by the roilee iion in her mirror, and who is on the best of terms with herself, and there fore with other people. One indeed may take it that the dowdy woman is as vain as her pretty contemporar ies, inn that she lacks the courage to compete with them. and. bereft of the adulation -which every woman loves, she becomes soured and hopeless Vanity, as some one points out. is one thing, but conceit is quite another. Hie vain woman will leave no stone unturned to please; her little airs am! graces only amuse her friends and ac quaintances, and her dainty apparel Is a feast for the artistic eye. The con ceited woman has, however. little to recommend her. The pose of superior ity which she assumes is alone suffi cient to disgust her friends. Like the conceited man, she is usually most proud of the' thing for which she has really the least claim to admiration. -Modern Sociely. BEE KEEPING FOB WOMEN. To one familiar with the care of bees It is surprising that nmre woiiu-ti do not attempt hoo-kocping as a moans of earning money. To many the word "bee" is associated with thoughts of wild chases with tin jians and cow bells after absconding swarms, end later nursing innumerable painful siings. With the modern method of caring for bees, swarming is largely done away witlh and there is little dan ger of stings. There are many reasons why bee-keeping, as a niotioy-ti;:: king occupation, should appeal strongly to uoieoii. says a writer in the Hou-o. ! keeper.
