When Tom Coma to Inqalra fata ft, ft' a Good ;hot Stor- Too. "A few years ago," said on old gentleman, "I was a-cutting and pil ing driftwood on tho lake shore when a party from tho village came down to fish through the ice. It waa a cold, raw day. They told me if I'd let them nso my fishing shanty and they had any luck they would give mo some fish. Well, at it they went. Just as I was a packing up at night to go home they fetched mo a pickerel that would a-pulled down six pounds good and strong. I brought him homo and put him up in the crotch of that apple treo over there. Then I done my chores, eat my supper, got tho pickerel and thought I'd clean him, but ho was froze hard as a brick, so I run a string through his gills and Imng hhn up back of the stove to thaw him out. "I'd got a good grip on the sleep that night and was a-plowing ahead on the gallop when my wife woko mo up and said there was some one at the door. I listened a bit and heard a noisojeet like somo feller was a-knocking on tho doer with mittens on his hand. I were a bit vexed, slid out of bed, pulled on my pants and boots, but did not strike a light, grabbed a big cane which stood at tho head of my bed, hurried to the door, opened it and jumped out ready to knock the stuffing out of any thing. But, my dear sir, thero weren't anything there to knock. I run round the house. Not a living critter could I see, nor even my tracks in tho snow. "To bed I went ng'in and was just dropping off when tho old wom an she nudged mo hard and whis pered: 'Hear that! Jest listen I Thero it goes ng'in J' "I sat up in bed, and jest as plain as day I could hear a dull sort of a thump, thump. I begun to feel ager iehlike. Mought havo trembled a bit, then hollered, 'Who's there?' No answer. "I kinder shivered for 1out half a minute, when there was the darned est racket out in the kitchen you ever heard. Hounded as if somo one was a-kicking a tin pan all around the room, and my dog he camo a yelping and howling in the bedroom and crawled clear under the bed, where ho kept up a-whining and a-yelping. My wife screamed and crawled down under the bedclothes. I had not only tho ager, but tho chills sweating chills good nnd strong. I was rattled badly rat tled. Jest had sense enough to crawl out of bed, grab my gun, which was loadH, and creep carefully to the kit. hen door. There was certainly some fellow thero barefooted, and ho wni having a hull dancing school all to hissclf. I located him as near as I could in the dark, then without making any noiso brought my gun to my shoulder and let her go. "The flash of tho gun was just long enough to let me see what the troublo was. I went back, lit a can dle, and then went to the kitchen. There, right in the middle of tho floor, was that are cussed pickerel hav ing the liveliest kind of a circus all by hisself. He was a-cutting up in great shape with his flippity flop, hip pity hop, jest as lively as if ho had jest been pulled out of the water. With a Btick of firewood I busted that are show quicker'n you could say phoo. "Ycu see, I hung him up in a good, warm placo to thaw out, directly over the old woman's dishpan, right under the pan being a good, warm, out of the way placo the dog used to Bleep. As that infernal pickerel be gan to thaw out his old cussedness crept back into him. Between the flappings of his tail and the work ings of his jaws he broke the string, then dropped onto tho dish, and both fell onto the dog." Forest and Stream. Interesting Photography. M. Marey, the well known experi mentalist, has been enabled by means of combining photography and elec tric light, to secure some valuable data ns to the laws and phenomena of hydraulics. His attention was mainly directed to the study of tho interior movements of liquids. In fol lowing out this lino of investigation helound that the ordinary methods employed in such , cases were insuffi cient for hia purpose, and hi many respects unsatisfactory. At last ho hit on the idea of immersing silver balls of tho samo specific gravity aa tho liquid and photographing their movements by electric light Tho re sults havo been most valuable. Ex change. Afraid of tha Tcarock'a Feathcra. A popular reader, speaking of a playwright who had partially en gaged to furnish her with a mono logue, added: "But when he came to talk it over I noticed that ho eyed the peacock's feathers in the corner of my drawing room very dubiously. Tho next day he threw up the con tract for no just reason. Evidently he considered mo doomed to ill for tune and had no intention of possi bly participating in it" New York Times.

N to Field's Washington. Tho EnglUh In Africa. The idea of an Anglo-African em pire stretching from the Nile down to Cape Town, along tho course of that river and embracing the interior lakes, ia captivating, and I am not surprised that it should find advo cates. But it La not business. We are already the masters of larger areas in South Africa than are ever likely to become Anglo-S.ixon colonies. In Asia wo have above 200,000,000 of subjects, who are ruled by a bureauc racy with an army to maintain it. Egypt can only bo ruled by us in tho same way, and I am convinced that we do not add to the strength of the empre by including in it fresh sub ject races, bnt very much tho re verse. Egypt for the Egyptians, not Egypt for us, should Ikj our aim, and the sooner that we come to some agreement with tho Euroiean pow ers to convert it into another Bel gium tho better will it be for us. So, too, in equatorial Africa we have alisolutely nothing to gain by acquiring sway over millions of quar reling Mohammedans and pagans, some of whom are ready to call them selves Protestanta. provided that wo will help them to mastery. The no tion that we gain by buch annexa tions ia aa absurd aa it would bo to plunge our hands into a hornet's nest in order to extract honey. Were I a Jingo I hope that I should have the sense to seek to acquire something worth having. Just as, were I a pickpocket, I should put my hand into a pocket with a full purso in it, not a barbed hook. London Truth. Taper Tulp From tha Foplar Trea. Attention is being moro than ever directed to tho best methods of wood pulp production for the manufacture of paper and to most profitable uourccs of supply present and future. A drawback to tho uso of pine ia that tho wood needs to be treated chemic ally before it is ground into pulp, or before it is placed in the digester for the manufacture of either chemical or sulphite pulp. Spruce is admit tedly most superior as a wood pulp for white paper. Hemlock cannot bo used to advan tage in connection with spruce pulp for the reason that its fiber ia moro brushy, having less strength than that of spruce, and thero is also a red coloring matter in connection with hemlock which it ia difficult to re move by chemicals. In tho first ex periments with wood pulp in this country poplar appears to bo the most desirable wood nnd was most sought af tor for the purpose. It pro duces a soft feeling puip and requires less chemicals to bleach it than other woods, yet it lacka the element of strength and Is thus inferior to spruce. New York Telegram. JaKt Defore an Earthquake. An earthquake ia likely to be at tended with great atmospheric dis turbance, such aa explosions, thun der, lightning, etc. At Millittello there was an explosion in the fog which overhung the city for several days before the great earthquake, many houses having their roofs and upper stories completely ruined as the result hours before the shock which completed the awful work of destruct ion. In other instances queer looking clouds, in some cases not larger than a good sized balloon, will hang over a sjxjt threatened by an earthquake for several days prior to the beginning of the terrestrial dis turbances. This was the case at Lon don in the year 114!), at Munster in 1612, at Lisbon and at Riobanda, South America. At Dunstal, Eng land, all the water in the lake "stood up like a pyramid to the height of 100 feet," and in several cases all the water was thrown out of tho wells. St. Louis Republic. Poor Economies. Whatever else you hoard, do not include in the list old medicine bot tles. The cost of these when perfect ly new is very trifling, and the futil ity of saving them against a possi ble errand to the chemist's is very apparent Nor should tacks taken up when you remove carpets from the floor for tho annual or semian nual shaking be put aside for a sec ond use. A new paper of tacks should be used whenever a carpet is relaid. I onco knew a woman who made one match, by careful economy, 6erve threo separate lightings. Yet Bhe went to her grave with the spirit of a pauper, nnd a bevy of spend thrift cousins swooped down on her fields and barns as eagles on the prey. Harper's Bazar. A Conservative Bookseller. It is no part of our intention to presume to mention "the Itest hun dred books"' nor to disparage unduly the works of modern authors. But when there is so much that is stand ard in our language, so much that has stood tho tests of time and trial, it is impossible not to sj-mpa-thizo with that bookseller, justly proud of his conservative tendencies in the matter of literature, who re plied, on being asked for a copy of a modern theological novel, "I sell nothing which time has no mellow ed."

"Thero ia notliin.ee that horse aro so fond of a.? being talked to." ii i a clubman to a reporter ilie o':h"r di., ono who knows all about t"i9 i.ni mals ho was discusin.

I had often endeavored to impress this fact upon my colored groom, a very bright and unusually intelligent lad, who, whenever I told Lira to talk to my horses, would in variably laugh sheepishly, convinc ed that I was making fun of him.

"Balaam was certainly not moro astonished when hid donkey ad dressed him than was Dawson, who, with a cry of 'Joe-rusalem ! Great Scott !

"Whilo on thi3 subject," ho went on, "let mo givo you nu infallible euro for a balking horso, which, moreover, will havo the advantage of diminishing much of the beating and other kinds of cruelty to which tho animals tiro subjected by jK-oplo ignorant of tho truo character of this kind of equine hysteria.

"Tho horse will, in his endeavor to get rid of tho foreign substance, for get all alout lxlkiug and will, with out thinking of it go forward with out the slightest whipping or other method of forcible persuasion." Chicago Tribune. rtilWlug Roof Spare Iu a City. The folly of building a house in Washington exactly like a hou.se in Boston ia too obvious to need point ing out In a city where evenings indoors are insupportable every inch of roof should be utilized, nnd where space permits there should Ik) com modious balconies in front or rear of the npjier stories of dwellings. This ia not a difficult architectural pro! lem, and its skillful solution would add a characteristic feature to the homes of tho city. In a town where th summer is two months long and nearby moun tains or sea provide a convenient refuge it makes little difference whether houses aro built to warm weather comfort, but whero smnmcr lasts for four months and LilLs and shore are half a day distant it is most important to provide every pos sible alleviation for the poor town caged mortal.
