Kducation In the Creamery.
The college creamery of Ames, la.,
makes eight hundred pounds of butter
a day, besides some cheese. The stu
dents find very abundant opportunity
to study every feature. A visit to the
creamery any week day in the year
will show the boys at work. One takes
in the milk, weighs it and samples it
for analysis. Another watches the j
temperature in the receiving vat. Two,
perhaps, attend the separators, and one
or more test the skim milk repeatedly !
during separation to see if the sep
arators do perfect work. An instructor
tests the cream of the previous day
with the alkali to see if it is ripe
enough. Two students attend the
churns, several take a hand in working
the butter. Several students take a
hand in packing the butter and prepar
ing the tubs for market. Students, in
turn, make fires and attend to the en
gine. In the cheeso rooms students
are over the vats with thermometers,
cutting knives, hot irons and the like.
Every step described is recorded on a
card that is filed away under lock. The
butter goes to the eastern cities and
the cheese is in demand at homo.
AN old miner of Wellington, B. C., met
death in a dramatic way a few weeks
ago as a result of an odd, reckless prac
tice. IDs long familiarity with ex
plosives had made him careless. lie
always kept his keg of black powder
stowed under his bed in the little cabin
in which he lived, and had a habit of
smoking in bed until ho fell asleep.
This might seem criminally careless to
anyone but a miner, but the possibility
of disaster never occurred to the old
man or his neighbors. But what every
one else might have expected happened.
One night recently a near neighbor
was awakened by the crackling of
flames, and found the old man's cabin
was afire. Before any help could be
rendered the explosion came, and the
old miner and his cabin went up.
A NOTABI.E case of filial love came to
light in Pittsburgh a few days ago,
when a seventy-six-year-old son came to
the oflice of an aid society to claim his
mother, who is two years past the cen
tury mark, from whom he had been
separated by the iong illness of both.
It was shown that the man had re
mained a bachelor all his life in order
to care for his mother. They came
from Ireland thirty years ago, and had
lived together since that time, as they
had previously in the old country, until
five months ago, when both were taken
sick and had to be removed to a hos
pital.
A NEGRO and a Chinese woman were
married in Lawrence county, S. D., a
few days ago. The clerk of the court
had serious doubts as to whether yel
low and black were a good legal match,
and postponed granting the necessary
license until he was fully satisfied that
such a union was not forbidden. He
found it was not and forthwith issued
the necessary permission for the join
ing together in holy wedlock of this
strangely assorted pair.
A FARMER of New York state crossed
a fine breed of chickens with the "Dub
lin dwarf" geese. The result is a web
footed chicken, which, while not de
voted to swimming, frequently takes
to the water. The fowls are large and
their flesh is said to be of excellent
flavor, resembling that of the wood
cock. A serious drawback to raising
them in any number is that they pine
away unless fed on dried watermelon
seeds at least once a week.
AN Otisco (N. V.) farmer recently
committed one of the most inhuman
acts on record. Because an unruly
bull of his persisted in knocking down
fences the farmer sewed up the ani

him off with a paltry ten-dollar fine.

HON. 0. H, MORGAN'S EXPERIENCE.
Congressman Cobb Relates His Adventures
After Ills Capture at Gettysburg—The
Man Who Got Stuck In the Tunnel—A
Postponed Signal.
[Copyright, 1895.]
Thoro was a time when Representative
Morgan of the Fifteenth district of Mis
souri was the most famous private soldier
In the war of the rebellion. He was known
from one end of the country to the other
us * 4 The Eseaper,'' and perhaps a greater
number of lies has been told about his
exploits than about any other private sol
dier of the Union army. Morgan, though
naturally a modest man, began finally to
believe there was no prison strong enough
'to hold him. He was such a slippery cus
; tomer that when his fame in that lino be
gan to lie noised about usually a company
| of soldiers were set to watch him, and as a
I captive ho was of moro cost and trouble to
the Confederacy than any half dozen men
CONGRESSMAN MORGAN,
with their liberty on the Federal side of
the lino. Five times did ho escape from j
rebel prisons, and four times was lie ro
oapturod.
"The first time I was taken," said Mr.
Morgan in telling mo the story of his re- j
mnrkablo experiences, "I was sent with a
lot of other prisoners to Llbby prison. I
i had not been thoro very long before I bo
, gan meditating plans of escape. While
J knocking around in the room where wo
j were confined I discovered that the ehim-
I uoy led down to an unoccupied room In
the basement. The guards apparent ly had
uo suspicion that we could reach the base
ment by the flue, but wo did, climbing up
through the fireplace and then slipping
down the chimney. By working quietly
and in regular relays wo were able to dig
a tunnel from this basement under the
foundations of the building across the
street and into an adjoining open square.
We had some trouble in disposing of the
earth taken out of the tunnel, but piled
most of it up in the rear of tho basement
! room. Ily careful management wo kept
I up our tunneling for several weeks without
attracting the attention of the guards. On
the appointed night Colonel Strait and 125
men passed safely through tho tunnel and
out the other end, where the opening was
concealed from view from the prison by
some bushes. It was a very successful
break, but only about half of us succeeded
in getting safely to tho Union lines. I was
caught the next day on the Chickahominy
and carried back to Llbby. They confined
nie in an underground cell and put me on
half rations.
"Before night I had a holo through tho
floor above and was in communication
with my fellow prisoners up stairs. They
shared their meat and tobacco with mo. I
had just laid my plans for another escape
when the authorities concluded to transfer
us to Macon. We were six days on tho jour
ney, which we made in box cars. On the
way several of my companions and myself
cut a big hole through the bottom of the
car, notwithstanding the fact that several
armed guards were in tho ear with us.
The noise of the train helped us, and wo
kept up a singing and shouting as we
worked. When the train stopped in the
night, wo slipped through the hole and got
away. This time I was out a week and
really thought I had succeeded in making
good my escape. I had got clear of tho
Confederate lines and was right opposite
our own army when a rebel skirmishing
party came up and caught two companions
and myself. We were sent to Macon.
"I did not have the pleasure of escaping
from the Macon prison. We did have a
tunnel dug under the walls and were about
ready to disappear when our plans were
exposed by some one on the inside, proba
bly a Confederate placed among us for the
purpose of giving away our schemes of es
cape. I was next sent to Camp Sorghum,
as it was called, at Columbia, S. C. The
name was derived from the rations given
prisoners there—corn brood and sorghum
molasses. One day a few of tho hoys and '
myself made a break and succeeded in get- j
ting through the lines, but were all taken
the next day. Later I made another break, !
having for companions Captain Ewing and j
Captain Baldwin, the latter one of my j
congressional chums in the house. Ho is a j
mouther from Minnesota, you know, and j
right glad were we to discover one day j
while sitting out in the lobby taking a 1
smoke that we had boon companions on ,
that daring though unsuccessful effort to !
get away from our good friends, the John- |
ny Kelts. We got along famously after giv- j
ing them the slip this time and thought j
we wore going to reach the Union lines, j
But at tho end of tho third day Ewing
broke down completely, and we staid by
liim and were caught and sent hack.
"My fifth and successful attempt to cs- 1
capo was made from a moving train. We
were being taken by train to Charlotte, |
N. C., and two other prisoners and myself ;
cut a hole through the bottom of the car.
At the flrstbpportunity wo slipped through
the opening and made n run for it. Tho
night was a very stormy one, with snow
and sleet. None of us had any shoes, and
I was bareheaded, having lost my hat in j
getting away from the car. We were thin
ly clad and wore weak from long subsist- i
once upon prison fare. We had gone a con- !
Biderable distance through the storm when
our strength gave out, and we agreed that J
wo could not travel a mile farther. We
knew that pursuers were not far behind
us, but we felt obliged to succumb to our
fate. At this moment we came upon a ne
gro cabin, and when the inmates respond
ed to our knocks wo told them who we
were and wliat straits wo were in, and
they took us right in. They gave us warm j
food and drink and good beds. When the '
pursuers came up, our colored friends
blandly Informed them tho escaping pris
oners had been seen running down the
road as fast as they could go about half an
hour before. By tho help of these kind ne
groes wo finally managed to reach tho
Union lines."
In Federal Prisons.
Congressman Cobb of Alabama, tho pro
pounder of tho famous question, "Mr.
Speaker, whore was I at?" has related his
experience after Ids capture in the battle
| of Gettysburg, and it is an exceedingly
Interesting story. He was the first lieuten
ant of a company attached to tho Texas
division under Longstrcot. "The second
day of the fight, July 2, 1808," said Mr.
Cobb, "I was cornered by tho enomy in
the courso of tho engagement. On tho sido
of mo was a steep, almost perpendicular
slope. On the other was a wood of heavy
timber and thick underbrush. I failed to
hear the order for retreat, and boforo I
knew it I was surrounded and captured. I
was first taken to Fort Henry, Baltimore
harbor, then to Fort Delaware for three
weeks, and after that to Johnson's Island,
where I staid from the Ist of August until
the February following. At that time there
wus a call for (500 of us ofiicers to bo car
ried to Point Lookout at tho mouth of tho
Potomac. We wore joyful over the trans
fer, as we thought it was made for the
purpose of exchange, and as a matter of
foot 200 were exchanged.
"We wore eventually crowded out by tho
wounded men brought in from some bat
tle and were then carried back to Fort
Delaware. Soon after our transfer another
call for 000 men was Issued to go to Charles
ton harbor to be made tho subjects of re
taliation. Tho Federals charged that Fed
eral prisoners in tho hands of Confederates
had been kept within range of Federal bat
teries and thus exposed to tho shots from
their own men. Whether this was true or
not I do not know, hut they took mo and
about 600 other prisoners, among them
Speaker Crisp, and placed us in a position
bet ween Federal and Confederate batteries,
where we were exposed to the shots of both
sides. The shots would fly over us occa
sionally. I don't roinenibor that any of us
was injured, but It was certainly not pleas
ant to be constantly expecting a stray 6liot
to drop among us. After this ordeal our
party was separated, some of the 000 being
sent to Fort Pulaski and tho remainder to
Hilton Head. I was among the latter and
was some time afterward transferred back
to Fort Delaware, where I remained until
the cessation of hostilities.
"I never saw any particular case of cru
elty in the prisons in which I was con
fined. The guards shot several prisoners at
Johnson's island, but I guess they brought
It on themselves. There were severe pun
ishments for insubordination—as, for in
stance, when privates were tied up by
their thumbs and olfieers were tossed in
blankets. I helped to bury many a poor
follow. Sometimes as many as four or five
were buried at once. Their death woa not
tho result of bud treatment, but of wounds
they had received In tho field or of confine
ment or homesickness. Tho winter I spent
at Johnson's island was very severe, tho
thermometer registering sometimes 15 to
20 degrees below zero. On New Year's day
of this year five men attempted to escape
through my room. They took two of the
benches which were in each of tho rooms
and made a ladder by nailing pieces of
wood between them, by tho assistance of
which they made their cscapo through tho
window. Ordinarily there wero sentries
stationed about every 600 yards, but this
night was so bitterly cold that they could
not remain on post. The flvo succeeded in
leaving the prison, but one succumbed to
the cold before he had gone a mile and was
brought hack the next morning with his
ears, toes and fingers frozen. Three ot hers
wero found at different distances near tho
fort, unable to proeeed farther on account
of the cold, and wero recaptured. The fifth
escaped to Canada.
"Several other efforts to escapo were
made by tho prisoners, with better success
than the one I have just related. One time
a party occupying tho hut nearest the
fence took the floor up, dug under it and
tunneled under the fence, carrying tho dirt
off in haversacks. This was a long and te
dious job, but it was finally finished. On
tho outside of tho fence at the exit of tho
tunnel there was a thin crust of earth. In
side the fence the tunnel had a downward
inclination and outside the fence an up
ward. When everything was in readiness
a dark night was selected for tho escape.
A largo number succeeded in making a
safe transit, but one lurgo, fat fellow got
stuck whore tho tunnel turned to go up
ward and could neither retreat nor go for
ward. His comrades tried to push or pull
him through the tight place, but without
avail, and he had to stay there. Ho was a
nervy fellow and made no outcry, remain
ing there all night until next morning,
when the guardsman discovered him lodged
In the tunnel. His fellow prisoners thus
had a good start, and about half of them
made good their escape. Tho others wero
recaptured." WALTER WELLMAN.
African Mushrooms.
There is a French story of some travelers
in Africa who, while on an exploring ex
pedition, ran out of supplies. By chance
they came upon a native hut, but It was
empty, and the only visible edibles in it
wore several strings of mushrooms suspend
ed from tho rafters to dry. For lack of
anything bettor or more substantial they
stewed these and made a meal of them.
After awhile the owner of tho hut, who
Was a powerful native chief and warrior,
returned from a hunting expedition, and,
having greeted tho explorers in a friendly
manner, set up u wild howl of despair.
"What is the matter?" asked tho explorers.
"They are gone. My evil Hpirlts have
stolen thorn," wailed tho chief. "What are
gone?" "Those, those!" shrieked tho
chief, pointing to the out cords on the raft
ers. "Why, no evil spirits took them,"
said the explorers. "We ato thoin." The
chief seized his stomach i I both hands and
rattled the bones inside his skin. "Ate
what?" he gasped. "Those dried mush
rooms." "Oh, suffering Moses 1" roared
tho warrior, or words to that effect. "Why,
you d d fools, you've eaten the ears of
all tho enemies I killed in battle."—Col

A Japanese Interior.
The interior of a Japanese houso is quite
unlike the interior of an American house.
Tim rooms are low studded to suit the
small stature of the occupants, so low, in
fact, that it. is often hard for a foreigner to
move through them without awkwardness.
Both tho outer and inner envelope of tin;
houso aro in a largo part removable, and
the screens of which they aro composed
can be easily adjusted to provide both door
and window space. Doors, therefore, iu
our sense, them are usually none, and
such windows as may be built into the
permanent walls are regarded more as a
decoration than a necessity. A Japanese
house contains no furniture, as we under
hand furniture, and except in certain spe-
Jial places it is bare of pictures and bric-a
brac. And, lastly, tho Japanese house is ,
animated except by charcoal braziers.—

EUROPE'S FRONT DOOR.
Short Description of Whut Is Probably
the Busiest Station of Lloyds.
A squarish, two-story building, with
stucco battlements, stands at the end of
the bold, bare promontory which is one
of the feet of Cornwall, and which has
been called "The Lizard," as men say,
since the Phoenicians traded to these
parts for tin. Maybe so, and maybe not.
Why "Lizard" and what was the Phoe
nician for it? Anyway, this thrust of
rock and earth, probing the sea and
overtopping it, is one of the corners of
the world, and the battlement struc
tuie there on tho clifTtop is a gate post
to the Front Door of Europe.
A flagpole stoutly stayed against
