fallacies are common with regard to
tho weight of tho tinman body. The
man who congratulates himself on his
gain of several pottuds in weight ovor
a given period may h ivo no caise for

investigator, have any cjireet idea of

uously changing owing to innumerable
influences. On a warm day aftor

third of a pound per honr. Soveuty

and its weight varies constantly. Tho
inference to bo drawn from tho loss

ONE HONEYMOON.
Jack and I bad known each other
from childhood. Wo had quarrelled
and in ilo up timos without intmbor,
kissed and quarrelled again. Final
ly, after wo had reached tho age when
young people dooido to do somothiug
rash rather than Bitbmit to the monot
ony of an everyday existence, we made
up our minds to run awny and be mar
ried. This decision was uot at all
necessary, for our paronts would have
made 110 objection to our marrying in
the usual decorous fashion. It was
just bi cuiso they cast no obstuclos iu
our path that wo decided to give them
a shock.
Unfortunate day. Wo had scarcely
started on our wed ling trip before
our troubles h g in. We were duly
united by a timid little parson in tho
next town, who visibly trembled at
his responsibility iu assisting w hat was
plainly u runaway match, yet gave us
his biiHiing with puthctio earnest jicsh
while bis sympnthutio wife oil'ored me
a kiss of encouragement.
Wo were naturally in a great Mate
of excitement After dinner at oue
of the littiu bustling hotels in tho
place wo took a traiu for New York,
arriving in time for tho opera.
There was a very pretty singer iu
tho cast whom I noticed Jack admired
more tlinu was quite considerate of
mo, uuder tho circuiiistuuces, and I
fancy I perocived a Binilo of recogni
tion on hor lips as she looked iu our
direction, for wo sat very near tho
stage in fuct, in tho second row in
tho orchestra. I teased him to toll mo
if ho had ever scon hor before, but he
proved very tantalizing, and I could
make nothing out of the affair; still, I
grow iusanoly jealous, and when we
went to our hotel I refused to spoak to
Jack for the rest of the evening. Then
he left mo to go dowu to the lobby for
a smoko, he said, but I was Bure ho
had somi other design.
Next day we went to a watering
place which was near a fort overlook
ing a wide expanse of water. Wo
walked about until we were tired,
but found ev.-rythiug very stupid. I
decid id to sit iu the pavilion munch
ing mime cakes Jack had bought for
mo while ho hunted a oonveyuuoo to
take us for a drive along the bsuob.
Ho was ubseut so long that the do
lay became intolerable. Finally I de
cided to pay a visit to tho fort, which
was not fur distant, and let Jnok hunt
for me on his return.
I had no sooner reachod tho en
trance than on the further side.charm
ingly posed against oue of the great
guns, I saw good heavens I Jack
with that opera singer, and her hand
laid caressingly upon his shoulder,
while he was offering her his field
glasses for a look over tho bay.
Whatever .put the idea into my head
I do not know, except that I had a few
day before glauoiug over an article
on modoru coast defeuoe in a popular
review, illustrated by drawiugs show
ing the manner of handling and fir
ing the guns by eleotrioity. I fairly
flew to the quarters where I judged the
operating mechanism to be. Fortu
nately, the plaoe was for a moment
vacant Not even a seutry interposed
to atop me. Inside was a row of but
ton and a chart, whioh I studied for
an instant, and then pressed the key I
judged to control the gun whose re
coil would give me my revenge.
Instantly there wm au explosion and
a great uproar. Half stuunod, 1 ran
out expecting to find tho perfidious
pair mangled and senseless.
My heart Icapod up with Joy In
spite of 111 r rage ns I saw Jack stroll
ing toward 1110, nlthough that hateful
woman was at his side. As soon as he
saw mo he hurried up, and, would yoti
believe it, introduced his companion
as his cousin Nell, of whom I had
often heard as winning a career in the
opera, but I had nevor soon,
I shall novor forgivo Jack. Ho says
ho wanted to cure me of my jooluus
disposition but ho made me try to
kill him. It mnkca very little differ,
enco to be told that I only rang an
clootrio bell in the guard house, and
that tho explosion was tho sunset gun.

Thero is living nt Oxford, Md.,
Thoiufls Sinclair, seaman, a survivor
and perhaps the only one, of tho cele
brated Wilkes exploring expedition
when tho so-called Antartio continent
was discovered, says a writer iu tho
Globe-Democrat Captain Wilkes,
United States navy, sailed from Nor
folk, Vs., August 18, Ih.'IH, in com.
maud of a squadron of tlvo vessels and
a storcship, to explore tho southern
seas. Sinclair was 0110 of his men.
The expedition visited Madcria, Capo
Verd, Terra del Fitego, tho Hawaiian
Islands, the Siimuuu group and Austra
lia. December, 18:)!, Captain Wilkes
left Sydney and sailed toward the
south polo and discovered what has
been culled the Antarctic Continent,
as it appears even today on the maps.
For several weeks he sailed along
vast ice fields, Landings woro mndo
at several plnces during this period,
and Seaman Sinclair was one of the
men who mannod tho boats, and actu
ally trod upon tho icy fields of tho
Antarctic Continent. They were not
prepared to make any attompt to ex
ploro this ico tract in the direction of
tho polo, Tho expedition did much
other exploring. It was gotio nearly
four years, arriving at New York
June 10, 1842. Mr. Sinclair was with
tho expedition all these years, mid has
many reminiscences of tho voyage, or
series of voyages, and stories which
never got into tho books. Ho spunks
of Captain Wilkes ns a very able com
mander aud a very strict disciplina
rian. As a rule, bo was botter liked
by tho men than by the ollleera. In
deed, after his return he was court
martialed on charges preferred by
some of his officers, but ho wus ac
quitted all except for illegally punish
ing some of his crew, for which he
was reprimanded. Mr. Sinclair is
considerably over eighty years old.
His memory is first-rate, and his mind
strung and clear. Ho millers much
from rheumatism and other nilmouts
of old ago, duo to tho exposure hu
underwent when with Captain Wilkes.
Uses of Woml.
Pine is tho wood uiodt ussd ou ao
count of its abundance. The timber
of tho oak, which combines iu its'df
the essential elements of strength and
durability, hardness and elasticity in
degree which no other troo can bout,
has been used as a material for ship
building since tho time of King Al
frod. It ia also employed iu archi
tecture, cabiuot making, otrving, mill
work, coopering aud a thousand aud
ono other ways, while tho bark is of
great value as furnishing tan and
yeildiug a bitter extract iu continual
demand for medicinal purposes. The
timb.tr of the pino is alsj used iu
housj and ship carpentry. Commou
turpentine is extracted from it and
much tir, pitch, resin aud lumpblaok.
Splinters of tho resinous roots

inner bark, which the Kamchatdales
and Laplanders steop iu water and
utilize for making a coarse kiud of
broad. The oil obtained from the
shoots of the dwarf pine is a kiud of
universal medicine among the peasants
of Hungary, while the soft-graiued
silver fir is ia much requisition for the
sjuuding board of musioul instru
ments, and tha Germans employ it
almost exclusively in thoir vut toy
factories. In the manufacture of luoi
fer matches, and above all, paper
pulp, thousands and teus of thousands
of acres of pino forest are cut down
every year, and tbe timber, constitut

A Man-of-war in fight let-.
For many yours tho Michigan Con
tral, whose northern Miclna i road
runs to Mackinaw City, lias been en
gaged to fight with tho ico across tho
Straits of Mackinac to St. Ignace,
whero coiinectio is are mado with
railroads into tho Upper Peninsula.
For some time tho Michigan Central
hail an ordinary ferryboat, tho Algo
ma, in service nt the straits. Then It
built tha St Ignnco, which was sup
posed to be ahla to fight its way
through any kind of Ice. Hut the Ht.
Ignace, like the A 1 go mi, was occa
sionally bested in these conflicts. Tho
ice would get too thick and too hard
for tbe steamer to force its way
through. In consequence, trnfllo be
tween the two peninsulas would bo in
terrupted for a week at a time. Two
years ago nn Iceboat, which was tho
result of a dozen years of experience,
was constructed at Detroit. It was
called the St Marie aud consisted
mainly of solid oak, engines and room
for a dozen freight cars. Thore was
a wheel at tho bow, two at tho stern,
and enough power to havo equipped
two ordinary lake vessels. In appear
suco tho ferry resembles nn iron-clad
man-of-war. As yet no ico has been
encountered which the St. Mario can
not drive cloar through. Nowhere on
tho lakes does tho ico become heavier
than in tho straits. Iuto that land
locked passago of water southwest
winds drive tho vast fields of ico from
Lake Michigan aud pilo them up iu
windrows until thoy lie in solid bodies
from fifteen to twenty foot in thick
ness. The current through the Straits
of Mackiuao, which sotithwoBt winds
invariably cause, pushos these wind
rows togother with rosistloss force
and by the middle of wiutcr the
straits beconio one vast body of ice.
It is said that tho problem of ice navi
gation has been fully solvod in tho
St. Mario, and it could force its wny
through any kiud of ico, regardless of
wind or weather. Tho hull of tho
boat, particularly the bow, is some
what of a curiosity. Tho heavy oak
frames are act so closo together that
they practically form ono piece. Out
side of this is a coating of henvy
ateel plates, and it simply is impossi
ble for ice to make any impression
upon the hull, rogardlcss of its firm
ness. This boat is said to bo tho first
successful iceboat over built iu tho
world. Chicago Tribiino.

SAW LINCOLN SHOT.
Oraphio Eeoital by an Eyowitnoss
of tho Tragedy.
Pursued J. Wilkes Booth and
Identified His Body.
It is thirty year ago sinco Lincoln
died of the wounds reoeivod iu Ford's
Theatro at the hands of Booth. And
thoro now livos in Washington a gen
tleman who bsw tho whole scene and
was the first to reach the wounded
mnn in tho prevailing pauio. Mr. Wil
liam Flood is the gentleman name.and
ho gives tho following graphic ao
count, which is taken down in his ox
net words:
"At the timo the president was
shot, said he, in answer to a query,
"I was in the United Slates navy, and
was acting eusign and executive officer
ou board tho stoamship Captain Tea
ror. Silas Owen was the commander,
aud the ship was located at the navy
yard on April 14. On tho afternoon
of that day Mr. Lincoln, accompanied
by Mrs. Lincoln, drove over to the
yard in a carriago and sent for me. I
enmo out to tho carriage and Mr. Lin
ooln said the secretary of war had in
formed him that the ship Monitor wna
at thu yard and he wished to see it
Bo we went around and looked at the
Monitor. It was not until we arrived
there that anyone iu the yard oven
suspected that the president was any
where in the vicinity, and when they
did discover it a number of salutes
from the guns were fired in his honor.
That evening Captain Owon, who
had been over in tho city during tho
day, camo to to the ship and sug
gested that we go to tho theatre that
evening, as Laura Keen was to play
"Our Amorican Cousin" and tho pro
sidout was to ba there. Wo wont to
tho theatro and secured seats in tho
parquet or orchestra chairs. Tho
president occupied tha second from
the stage. Just as tho curtain fell on
the first act I heard a shot aud saw a
man jump from tho president's box to
tho stago. As ho jumped his foot
caught iu tho folds of the flag that
draped tho box and ho fell sideways
on tho etago. It was quite a good
jump and he camo very near falling
back iu tlio orchestra. Ho got up and
limped away across tho stage, brand
ishiuga great long knife in his right
hand aud shouted "Sio semper' tyrnn
nis." "In less timo than it tnkos to toll it
I was on tho stage. How I got thore
over tho heads of that orchestra I
really dou't remember. Just as I
reached the stage Mrs. Lincoln looked
out of the box. She wos crying- and
wringing her hands and said : "Iher
have shot papa ; will no ono come?' I
answered that I would como, and im
mediately climbed up tho side of the
boxes to tho ono tho president occu
pied. I don't know how I got np
thore either, but just as my handa
touched the railing of tho box ayoung
lady took hold of them and helped me
up. Tho namo of tho young lody was
Harris, and I think she was a daughter
of Senator Harris.
"The President was sitting in a
large arm-chair, with his hands on his
arms and his head thrown forward,
just as if he had fallen asleep. He was
breathing, however, aud we at once
laid him on the floor of the box. I
looked for the wound, but at first did
not discover it Miss Keene brought
a pitcher of wator, and I bathed his
forhoad with that so as to revive him.
I then discovered tho wound ia the
back of his head where the ball bad
entered, and the blood ran out ou ray
arm and down the side of my coat
Some army officers brought in a
stretcher and he was placed on that
and oarriod out. I then wont to tho
front of tbe box aud motionod for thu
audience to remain quiet. Every one
was talking aud there was a general
uproar. As soon as it ceased for a min
ute I told them that the President was
still alive, but had been shot, and was
no doubt mortally wounded. Cap
tain Owens aud I then went out
to the front of the building and found
a platoon of police iu the street. The
side walks were ao crowded with peo
ple that we had to get out in the mid
dle of the road to get dowu the street
We went to the National Hotel, and
by the time we got there the mob was
ao dense wo could get no further, ao a
couple of police took us through the
hotel to C street, at the roar, and we
got a cab and were driven to the navy
yard. I was bo bloody from the wound,
my right arm and hand being covered,
that i la a wonder I was not hanged
by that mob. They were iutensely
excited at the time, and it would have
taken very little to have driven them
into a frenzy.

The Migration of Hie Salmon.
No loss mysterious than tho migra
tory impulse of birds is that whlob
regulates tho seasonal movements ol
salmon. That thny should ascond th
river in September and October is in
telligible enough, seeing that they
spawn in Novomber and December.
Like the birds, their instinct takei
them to their native shallows to repro
duce thoir kind, for salmon and brooi
trout were probably originally of ont
species. Adventurous individuals o!
the trout kind droppod into tho es
tuaries in search of food, just as yellow
trout may be observed to do at this
day j thence the boldest of thero
pushed on into the ocean, whore food
of the richest kind is most abundant.
Thoy throve lustily, thoir complexion
changed, thoy gave thomiolves nil the
airs of sea fish and dospised tho timid
landsman. None tho loss, they are
compelled, year after year, to creej
into tho head wators. whoro they are
born, hastening away as Boon
as the domestic task ia over
to surfoit ouco more on marine dain
ties. All that is easy enough to un
derstand. But what is the impuls
that is forcing salmon at this season,
nine months before the earliest spawn
is ripe, to desert tho wators of plenty
and enter icy island torrents, where
there is not enough food to sustain
ono of a thousand? It cinnot be in
search of food that they ooraa. That
has already boen almost proved by the
researches which a German savant ia
conducting into the habits of Rhine
salmon. He has shown that salmon
enter a river with their stomach in a
highly serviceable condition an elas
tic, capacious sac. No soonor are
they within the fresh water than it be
gins to shrivel, the sides of it thicken
and become corrugated, till at last it
shrinks to tho thickness of a mnu'i
finger, and is incapable of admitting
any food at all. Probably it will tnrn
out that spring salmon aro fish surfeit
ed with sea diet ; their tissues are
glutted with fat ; they con eat no more.
So, to escape purpoises and seals.they
aso.'ud tho rivers to rest, descending
aguiu when their appetite improves,
and reascending in time for tUi autumn
honeymoon. Now York Telegram.
Lentil Farming iu F.gypt.
It is in Ejypt that tho lentil orop is
of the most value, for in the land ot
the Pharaohs tbe lentil forms 0110-
eixth of the food of tho people, beside
being extensively exported to other
countries. It is well suitod to tho soil
and climate, as it requires little irre
gation savo what thu Nile provides.
Tho Egyptian lentils are reputed the
best aud most nutritious iu tho world.
says Chambers's Journal.
From Cairo to Assouan, the farmer
of the Nile valloy regularly rotate the
orop with wheat of maize, gathering it
iu about the end of April. Every
peasant grows enough for hi own
consumption, making it into porridge,
which he finds both wholesomo and
sustaining and the cheapest fool he
can obtain. In Cairo, Alexandria,
Ismailin, Suez, Port Said and the
other towns the consumption in soup
is very large. Most of the export goo
to London, there to be converted into
invalid or "patent" food, under some
fanciful name at a fanciful price.
Chicken as Weatlinr Phophets.

"I always know when there is to be a

the turkeys aud chickens go to roost

on. But when there is going to be a
high wind they always roost with their
heads toward tbe direction from which
it is coming. There are reasons for
these different waya of roosting, I
take it. When there is no wind to
