Elder Ephraim "Wilcox is digging a
cave near Black River Falls, \\ is., in
which he hopes to be saved when bis
neighbors shall be destroyed by an
overwhelming disaster, which he
thinks is about due. He says the un
righteous laughed at Noali', but that
Noah laughed last.
According to tiro Now Orleans
Picayune, alien companies and indi
viduals own 2,200,000 acres of uninr
proved lands in Louisiana. Some in
dividuals own as much as 100,000
acres, while tracts of from 20,000 to'
90,000 acres arc not uncommon. If
an amount equivalent to tiro annual
rental value of these lands was levied,
the lands would soon be put to use or
the owners would release their titles
and let somebody else take possession.
A tax upon the value of laud is the
only known cure for monopoly of that
kind.
There are forty British warships
lying idle in home harbors for want
of men to man them. There is a
dearth of both artificers and seamen
and the scarcity of competent en
gineers is considered alarming. A
somewhat similar state of affairs exists
in the army of Great Britain. The j
home and foreign service is rapidly j
decreasing, and when the soldiers'
terms of enlistment expire they will j
not re-enter. No sane man wants to
serve a power whoso I loodthirsty
instincts makes him murder innocent
people.
By declining the appointment of i
United States senator from Georgia,
Speaker Crisp has done a signal ser-1
vice not merely to the Democratic j
party but to the country. A conllict
over the speakership in the midst of |
a session of congress in which so 1
many rival interests have developed
would have been attended by the'
most serious consequences. No
matter who among the leading Demo
crats of the house might have carried
off tbo prize after a violent conllict,
lie would have encountered extreme
difficulty in maintaining his authority
in the midst of so many warring de
ments. — P/ula. Record.
If the Democratic senators will do
less talking and more voting on the Wil
son bill they will receive the unani
mous thanks of the country and
especially those of its Democratic
citizens. Time is too precious just,
now to waste two or three months in
speech-making. We had enough of
that before November, 1892, and
after hearing both sides of the tariff'
question the voters recorded them
selves in favor of the Democratic
position. The representatives of the
party in congress can now do nothing
that will benefit everybody more than
to pass the bill as quickly as possible.
The elections next full will depend
upon the conditions of the times
between now and then, consequently i
there should he no excuse allowed for
delay. Wipe the MeKinley bill off
the books and redeem the party's
pledges.
The TUIUUNE is sorry to give dis
appointment at any time to any of its
readers, but we have no excuse to
offer the correspondent who writes to
know why we do not publish the pro
ceedings of a certain famous trial now
before the courts. If the corres
pondent rends these columns with
the expectation that in them will l )c
found the details of any sensational
scandal, he may prepare himself for i
as many disappointments as there are
suits of that nature. We do not
claim to publish all the news, only
such parts of it as we honestly believe
will he instructive and conducive to
the moral welfare of our readers, a
very great many of whom are young
children. Those who have appelities
for police court news must seek else
where for the literature that will
satisfy them The Tuim M. has pros
pered so far by keeping its columns
clean, and we don't propose to change
its course now, even though a case of
exceptional depravity is being vonti
lated.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Drifton, Fa., April.'}, 1894.
At this season, when the air is full of
the smell of burning brush and fires are
blackening our hillsides, already grown
so bare, it is well to call attention to the
fact that the firing of our wild lands,
thereby destroying the young timber, is
I a crime punishable by law. In section
J, page 780 of the laws of 1809, we find
the following:
It is hereby enacted, etc., That any
person or persons whoshall intentionally
set tire to said lands shall forfeit and
pay a sum not exceeding ss(>o nor less
than SSO, or shall be confined in the
county prison for a term not exceeding
one year nor less than thirty days, or
both, at the discretion of the court, on
conviction at any of the courts of this
commonwealth; one-half of said fine to
be paid to the person or persons who
make the information and the other half
to be paid into the county treasury.
In section 1, page 11)10 of laws of 1870:
It is hereby enacted, etc., That it
shall be the duty of the commissioners
of the several counties of this common
wealth to appoint persons under oath,
whose duty it shall be to ferret out and
bring to punishment all persons, who
either willful or otherwise cause the
burning of timber lands, to take meas
ures to have such fires extinguished
where it can be done; the expenses
thereof to be paid out of the county
treasury, the unseated land tax to be
the lirst to be applied to such expense.
In section 1 and 2, page 102 of the
laws of 1809:
Sec. 1. Be it enacted etc., That any
person or persons who shall wantonly
and willfully kindle any lire on the
lands of another, so as to set on fire any
wood lands, barren or moors, within the
limits of this commonwealth, shall be ■
guilty of a misdemeanor, and on eonvic-1
tion thereof shall be sentenced to pay a I
i fine not exceeding S3OO, ami undergo an
1 imprisonment not exceeding twelve
1 months, or either or both, at the discre
-1 turn of the court; and prosecution for
1 such offenses may be commenced at any
time within two years from the coin
mission thereof.
Sec. 2. Upon the conviction of any
person or persons from any of tliu urea
ses aforesaid, the commissioners of the
county in which such conviction is had,
shall pay to the prosecutor in every such
case the sum of ssl) out of the county
treasury as a reward for the apprehen
sion and conviction of the offenders, and
the defendant or defendants shall pay
the same, with the costs as in other
cases, into the hands of the sheriff for
the use of the county, and nothing herein
contained shall prevent the prosecutor
from being a competent witness in the
prosecution aforesaid.
Every one mindful of the true inter
est of our country must regard with dis
pleasure the great and irreparable in- j
jury that year hy year is caused by the
carelessness and love of mischief of
thoughtless and ignorant men and boys.
The poor covering that is still left on the
hills of our neighborhood is yet most use
ful in hindering the ground from becom
ing entirely dry. Even the huckleberry
bushes and such low growth is of value
besides yielding the berries that the
children love to gather, for they help to
keep in the soil the moisture that feeds
the springs. And the little tiees, that
in another generation may re-clothe the j
hills, should be carefully guarded. They
j are a crop of far more value than any
| other that can be raised in this barren
soil, important for the health of the en
tire community, for no country hare of
| trees can long support a large population.
It would, indeed, he well if offenders
j against the public interests could be
made to understand how serious their
misdemeanor is.
Republican Congressional Aspirants.
From the Wilkos-Barru Newsdealer,
From the way matters are shaping,
the contest for the Republican congres
sional nomination is going to be warmer
and more interesting than for many
years past. Morgan Williams is very
| earnest in his desire to represent this
i district, and in many respects he will he
I a strong competitor. John Leisenring,
"f Upper Lehigh, is a candidate, and his
friends are now busy ascertaing the feel
ing of the district with reference to his
candidacy. Mr. Dan Coxe, nephew of j
the big-hearted Democrat, Eckley B.
Coxe, is also being urged hy many sin- j
cere and active friends. Talk of any
other candidates is merely desultry. I
1 hey are not to he considered.
\\ itli this situation before us, it would
appear that V illiams' chances are by
far the best, lie represents a nationali
ty whose claims cannot be ignored. Ife
will, too, he the only Welshman looking
for any of the important places and as
they must be placated, this alone is suffi
ciently potent to secure his nomination.
Coxe, or Leisenring, would undoubtedly
be more intluential in the house, and
for tiie interests of the district, but loca
tion and nationality will outweigh all
that.
The next Democratic nominee must
face Morgan Williams as an opponent.
There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to he incurable,
loir a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib

failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science lias
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure

cure on the market. It is taken in

LAWS OF GRAVITATION.
The Professor Tells Story Showing: That
They Can't lie Trilled With.
"No, young gentlemen," said the j
professor, fondly toying- as he spoke ;
with the strings of the At wood's ma
chine, "no; man cannot trifle with the
laws of gravitation. I once had this
brought very forcibly to my notice;
yes, very forcibly. The story of the
occurrence may be of value to the
class as an illustration. I was camp
ing one summer at the mouth of a
trout stream on Lake Superior. One
day I went up the trail with my rod.
but, meeting with no success, started !
back down stream. I should say that
the trail ran parallel to the stream for
several miles, crossing it once about
half a mile from the mouth by a log
bridge. This had burned away, but on
my way up I had no diilieulty in cross
ing the gorge by a running jump. It
was, however, deep, perhaps sixty feet j
or more. As I was retracing my st -ps ;
my attention was arrested by light
footfalls behind me, and turning I saw
in the trail a full-grown black bear. I
was naturally eager to secure such a
fine prize, but my rifle was at the tent,
and I hastened on to procure it. Soon
I noticed that the bear was also lias
ten ing, and I immediately suspected
mischief. 1 confess that my usually
firm nerves were somewhat shaken by
the thought that he might contem
plate incorporating me into his anato
my. So 1 considerably accelerated my
pace and hoped Boon to terminate the
chase by a leap across the chasm I just
mentioned. At last we reached the
spot, I jumped over, alighted in safety ,
on the far side, and turned with a ;
smile at my foiled pursuer behind me.

ment was to be lost. I pulled myself
together, and we sprang from opposite
banks at the same moment, passed in
raid air and alighted simultaneously
on opposite sides of the river. Again
I saw him prepare to spring; there was
no alternative. Again and still again
we made the leap, and at the fifth
crossing the expression of mingled
cunning and ferocity in his eye—it
was the left eye, sirs—appalled mo.
No, gentlemen; I could not see the
other eye, but it doubtless expressed
fixity of purpose. I have seldom seen
a more persevering bear. It appalled
me, and I was prepared for a change of
tactics. Sure enough, the infuriated
animal took a longer run, and a < we
passed lie arrested bis progress
through the atmosphere, gave a vicious
growl, and aimed a savage blow at my

"He missed me, and liis fate was
scaled. Of course he had never studied
the laws of nature in the light of
modern science, and did not know that
a heavy body arrested in its lliglit
must fall. As I struck the cliff I heard
the bear strike the rocks below with a
sickening thud.

A queer story comes with a first-class
recommendation all the way from Eng
land. Thirty-three years ago, in is.JO, i
a member of the Chaplin family died
I at lflankley, Lincolnshire, and was
laid in the family tomb. This particu
lar Chaplin was a naturalist, and,
I among his other pets, had a large gray
j bat. The bat was permitted to enter
the tomb and was sealed up alive with
the corpse of his dead master. In 1800
the vault was opened, and, to the sur
prise of all, the bat was alive and fat.
On four different occasions since the
Chaplins have looked after the welfare '<
of their dead relative's pet, and each ;
time it has been reported that the bat
was still in the land of the living, al- !
though occupying quarters with the '
dead. lie was last seen in 1892.

EASTEH CUSTOMS.
Pome That Will I'leaso tho Little Onei of

Among the customs observed at Eas
ter by some families, a very pretty one,
where there are a number of children,
is the "Egg hunt." For this purpose
mamma or aunty colors two or three
dozen eggs—pink, green, yellow, blue,
etc.—and the night before Easter hide
five or six for each child, anywhere,
everywhere, in all sorts of places. In
the morning the children start out on
their hunt. When each child has
found its number, it stops, while the
others still hunt on. This gives the
| children a great deal of pleasure, and

BIDDIE ON TUP: NEST.
it. is very interesting to see the little
tots with their aprons full of brightly
colored eggs.
There is another pretty way. Have
the colored eggs just the same, but
make a nest and have Biddie sitting on
It. To do this, take a round box, cover
with white-fringed tissue paper, line
| neatly, have a cover just to fit, make a
white tissue paper hen and stuff, with
j a little cotton wadding. Glue her to
the top and fill in all around her with
fringed tissue paper. Paint her comb
I red, her bill yellow. On Easter raorn-
I ing set, her on the breakfast table, and
1 hear what shouts the children will
give when told to lift Biddie off and sec
if she has laid them an egg.
' In a number of Sunday-schools last
year colored eggs wero given to each
' child in the infant department, and
they pleased wonderfully. These eggs
! should be hard boiled, so that if by ac
cident one should be broken no harm
: will bo done to clothing or furniture.

AN ALPHABET PARTY.
Pulque Entertainment In Honor of n
Child's First Steps in Learning:,
j A children's party that will be given
for the first time in this country is be
ing arranged by tho wife of one of
| the Central American ministers to the
United States.
It certainly ought to capture the
fancy of United States parents, for
they always take pride in displaying
the early learning of their babies.
J Tho party is called the "Alphabet
party," and is to he given In honor of
j the minister's second child, and will
j take place as soon as tho children can
go out of doors in their now whito
! party frocks without catching cold.
I Madame explained its meaning. In
1 the. country from which they hail the
I alphabet party is always an event in a
child's life, and there is a gentle
rivalry among friendly mothers as to
the age at which their children are en
titled to the right to the party.
As soon as a little boy or girl has
, mastered the alphabet thoroughly the
, party occurs to celebrate the child's ac
| cm iplß'-nu nt. The table is decorated
, : with pretty boxes and souvenirs for
! the little guests which are always
- made at home. The little cakes have
! letters in frosting or are made in the
I shape of A B ( "s. and the alphabet
! figures in all sorts of devices.
Tho little hero or heroine has to con
vince the guests that he is master of
the letters, and then comes the inter
esting event of the occasion,
j There is a little balloon at hand
waiting. The little alphabet book out
of which the tiny senor or senorita has
learned the letters is shut up in the bal
; loon or tied to it, and the balloon is
then set a-flying, ami if the alphabet
' is thoroughly mastered the balloon
! will bear the book faraway, and that's
I the last the little son or daughter is
supposed to need of it.
The children themselves are in a
hurry for their alphabet parties, and
tho mothers, of course, delight to get
ahead of other mothers even by a few
| weeks. —Chicago Inter Ocean.
Eaglo Caught by a Dog,
An Oregon farmer was returning
from meeting one Sunday morning
when his dog started in pursuit of
something on the other side of a wire
fence inclosing a pear orchard. The
j farmer jumped over the fence and, to
his surprise, saw an eagle just spread
ing its wings to fly. The dog immcdi
j ately fastened on to the bird's leg and
the farmer seized it around the neck.
For a few minutes there was a tre
mendous scuffle, but the bird was final
ly scared or choked into submission
and it logs and wings tied with a sec
tion of the wire fence. Then the
farmer carried his capture home, put
it in a cage and now proudly exhibits
j it.
Too' Much of an Invitation.
Mrs. S. was extremely busy one
morning when her little boy appeared
in the kitchen and asked for something
to eat. He seemed content with her
"Yes, in a minute," and went back to
his play. About ten minutes later she
hurriedly hunted up one of his favorite
cold cakes, and, calling him, said:
"Here, take this and go to Mrs. Ik's
and tell her that I would like to have
her take tea with us at six o'clock to
night." Tho child trotted off obedl- i
ontly, and, though it was some distance
up the street, he soon came back, and,
gravely returning the cold griddle cake ,
to his. horrified mother, said: "She
didn't want this, but she says she'll ;
| come."

COLD BOILING WATER.
At High Altitude* It I* Not Hot Enough
to lNok Potatoes.
"Cold boiling 1 water, indeed! Boiling
water is the hottest kind of thing.
Don't I know? Haven't I scalded ray
fingers more than trace with water from
the teakettle?"
James is right, and yet he is wrong.
Boiling water is not always very hot
water, in spite of his painful experi
ence.
This is the way it happens.
When water boils ordinarily it is be
cause great heat has separated the
tiny particles of the water, forcing up
ward and outward in lively bubbles the
air which is contained in them. This
is done in spite of the downward pres
sure of the atmosphere. After the
water has become hot enough to boil
it can got no hotter, because the air es
capes as fast as it is sufficiently heated
to do so.
There are places on the earth whore
the pressure of the atmosphere upon
the water is so slight that it requires
but little heat to push apart the parti
cles and set free the air bubbles, which
are confined in the water, so it begins
to boil before it becomes very hot. It
ought hardly to be called cold water,
perhaps, but it is certainly far from
being as hot as ordinary boiling water.
This state of things is found on all
high mountain tops, as the atmosphere
grows weaker and its pressure less as
one ascends.
A gentleman traveling at a great
elevation in the Andes mountains put
some potatoes in a pot of water over a
hot fire, according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. The water began to
boil almost immediately, but the pota
toes did not cook. All the afternoon
and all night the water bubbled and
boiled, but still the potatoes were not
cooked. The boiling water was uothot
enough.
THE SUGAR PALM.
A Smith Anieiicati Tree Which I'rodnces
Lots of Slip.
The sugar maple of New England has
a rival.
11 grows in the Andes of Chili at a
height of from 3,000 to 4,500 feet above
the sea. It is a curious variety of that
most useful, wonderful tree, the palm,
whose varieties also give us dates, and
coco, and cocoanuts, and fans.
This palm is not slim and graceful
like most kinds we see in tropical pic
tures. It is about fifty feet tall, with
a very thick trunk, enlarging in diam
eter from the ground up to about half
its height, and then tapering again to
the top, where its long leaves spread
out.
These sugar palms produce great
quantities of sweet sap, which, when
boiled down, makes both molasses and
sugar of a peculiar but delicious flavor.
On one estate the trees grew in such
numbers that once it was determined

to count them, but after counting
•evcral hundred thousand, and more
than half remaining uncounted, the
task was given up.
W hat "larks" it must he for children
when "sapping" tune and "sugaring
off" come round! But the Chilians do
not collect the sap in the way the New
England farmers collect sap from the
maple tree. No; instead of boring
small holes in the trunk the palm is
cut down and beheaded of its crown of
beautiful leaves, and then the sap he
gins to flow from the upper end and
keeps on flowing for months. 10very
morning a thin slice is cut off to pre
vent the wood from hardening and
forming a crust through which the sap
could not flow.
A good tree will yield nearly 100 gal
j lons of sap. A very queer thing is the
fact that the sap will not run if the
tree lies with its head downwards. It
will only run upwards!—St Bonis lie

i. tt! Nelly Wag Ob<Mlint.
Bittlc Nelly, while at the sea-shore
with her mother, was very fond of

be in the habit of asking for those

strict orders never to do such a thing.

the New Orleans Picayune, and one
liny when the doctor was out Howard
und a little visitor were "playing doe

ulated skeleton to the terrified gaze of
his playmate.
"Pooh, Walter!" said Howard, "what
you 'fraid of." It's nothing but an old
