Homeless Carriage. Edison thinks that there trill ho a horseless carriage on the market, com bining the lightness anil trlmness of the bicycle and costing not more than SIOO. There are no Insurmountable difficul ties In the way. The thing Is feasible enough, and an array of Inventors Is at work upon It. When It comes the bicycler will have the choice of work ing his own passage or having It work ed for him. Some of them pretend to like the former, but with the alterna tive in reach the chances are that they will develop nn Indolent and luxurious preference for the latter. The vehicle Is certainly on the way, various In type and function, and Mr. Edison's declaration that It will speedily arrive Is the more significant from the fact that he ought to know what he U talk ing about—Farmer's Review. Penalty il>r Desertion. Desertion in time of war Is punish able, In all armies, by deatb, usually In flicted by shooting. In time of peace It Is regarded by various governments with different degrees of severity, ac cording as the military system Is mild or severe. In France, Germany or Rus sia desertion, even In time of peace, Is very harshly punished, but In the Uni ted Stateß it Is punishable by a term of Imprisonment at hard labor. As a matter of fact this penalty Is rarely In flicted. The desertions In our urmy number from 1,000 to 1,200 annually, and few of the runaways are ever caught.

"I'm going to have a .spelling beo to night," said Uncle John, "and I'll give a pair of skates to the boy who can best spell 'man.' " The children turned and stared Into one another's eyes. "Best spell 'man," Uncle John? Why, there Is only one way!" they cried. "There, are all sorts of ways," replied Uncle John. "I leave you to think of It a while." And he buttoned up his coat and went away. Time went slowly to the puzzled boys for all their fun that day. It seemed as If that after supper lime would never come; but It came at last, and Uncle John came, too, with a shiny skate-run ner peeping out of his great-coat pock pt. Uncle John did not delay. lie sat down, and looked straight Into Harry's eyes. "Been a good boy to-day, Hal?" "Yes—no," said Harry, flushing. "I did something Aunt Mag told me not to do, because Ned Barnes dared me to. I can't bear a boy to dare me. What's that to do with spelling 'man'?" he add ed, half to himself. But Uncle John turned to Bob. "Had a good day, my boy?" "Haven't had fun enough," answered Bob, stoutly. "It's all Jo's fault, too. We boys wanted the pond to ourselves for one day; and we made up our minds that, when the girls came, we'd clear them off. But Jo, he " "I think this is Jo's to tell," interrupt ed Uncle John. "How was it, hoy?" "Why," said Jo, "I thought the girls had as much right on the pond as the boys. So I spoke to one or two of the bigger boys, and they thought so, too; and we stopped it all. I thought It was mean to treat girls that way." There came a flash from Uncle John's pocket. The next minute the skates were on Jo's knee. "The spelling match Is over," said Un cle John, "and Jo has won the prize." Three bewildered faces mutely ques tioned him. "Boys," he answered gravely, "we've been spelling 'man,' not In letters, but In acts. I told you there were different ways, and we've proved it here to-night. Think over It, boys, and see." To be popular with some people, all that Is necessary is to say "Thank you" In a very loud voice. A TALK WITH MRS.

This points to the stern necessity of helping one's self just as soon as the lifo powers seem to be on the wane. Excessive menstruation is a sign of physical weakness and want of tone In the uterine organs. It saps the strength away and produces anemia (blood turns to water). If you become anemic, there is no knowing what will happen. If your gums and the inside of your lips and inside your eyelids look pale in color, you are in a dangerous way and must stop that drain on your powers. Why not build up on a generous, uplifting tonic, like Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound? MRS. EDWIN EHBIG, 413 Church St., Bethlehem, Pa., JM says: " I feel it my duty to write and tell you that I am better than I have been for four years. I used Lydia E.

Sold by Druggists, price, 76c. Hall's Family Pills are the best, ALASKA FISH. They Are Used for Food. Light and Heat by the Natives. A spcoioß of fish abounds In the waters of Alaska that are useful both as food and fuel. They are taken In Immense quantities wltb nets and lines. After being caught they are dried and stored away until tha long winter months arrive, when It gets dark early and the Alaskan is snowed up. Here comes an opportunity for using them. Not a hit at a loss for light, the Alas kan takes one of these dried fish, In serts its tall Into a crack In his rough wooden table and lights Its nose. The fish burns with a bright and steady light of about three candle power, giv ing a clear, white light and a very con siderable amount of heat. A fairly large fish will burn for a period of three hours. The scientific explanation Is extreme ly simple. The vertebrae which form the back bone of the fish are found to be largely formed of phosphorus, which not only causes It to Ignite easily, but also accounts for the strength of the flame and the heat developed. The sub stance of the fish, which consists so largely of fat, acts ns a retarder to '.lie rapid burning of the vertebrae In pre cisely the same way as the tallow acts In an ordinary candle. The fat of the fish is largely composed of stearlne, which Is nlso the chief chemical constit uent of the tallow used for making can dles, and which gives them their firm ness and consistency. Valuable as Is the fish for Its light giving properties. It also has Its value as a food. If necessnry It can be eaten after having been used ns n onndle, II then being simply smoked, or It can be boiled or cooked in the ordinary man ner. In whichever way It Is treated, to a hungry man It serves as a very wel come and appetizing dish. In flavor It Is much like tho smelt, having tha same sweet taste, but Is much fatter. Still another use to which It can ba put Is as a substitute for cod liver oil, which. If taken in sufficient quantity, by aiding the natural heat of the body, proves au excellent protective against the severe cold. The oil Is obtained from the fish by immersing them in cold water and squeezing, the product obtained being almost equal in quality to the genuine cod liver oil. Inherited.

IT COMES SURE ENOUGH WHEN A WATERSPOUT IS SEEN. Tli< Most Appalling KxperJcnrn of the Sailor Man—An Old Salt Who Count ed Twenty of Them at One Time When One Strikes the Ship. "Cyclones, hurricanes and icebergs have sent many a good ship to her doom, and will send many more—but there's something to be dreaded worse." So spoke a veteran sea captain, from whom I was trying to draw out some thing interesting on the subject of storms. "I can't imagine what it is," I said —though I had my guess. "Well, it's a waterspout; and the mariner may thank God they are not to be met with every week. I know men who have sailed for thirty years with out sighting one, but it has happened that they have come my way pretty often. I saw one on my first voyage as cabin boy, and it wasn't over four weeks ago that one came mighty nigh doing the business for this old bark. Man and boy, I've followed the sea for over forty years, and the peril most to be feared is the one you are almost helpless to guard against. You want to hear some stories? After I've told the mate about getting up that new topsail I'll spin you a few." Ten minutes later we were ready and he begau: "Everybody knows that a water spout is formed by a whirlwind pass iug along the surface of the water. Oil land it would suck up dust and J grass and paper, and perhaps rip the roof off a house or barn. There are little waterspouts and big ones, ac cording to the strength of the wind. I've counted twenty little ones play ing around at once, aud no great fear need be felt of them. It's the big ones—the old chaps holding water enough to float a ship over a stone wall—that make your hair curl when they come sweeping down your way. In the China Sea, thirty years ago, as the clipper ship Champion was sailing along one day in a moderate breeze, I was sent aloft on some job about the fore-topmast. I was working away when I happened to look into the northwest, and I beheld a curious sight. About three miles from the ship, which was headed the other way, was a patch of what looked to be black water. "This patch was perhaps a quarter of a mile square, aud it stood out on the green-white sea in strange con trast. It began to boil as I looked, and then the waters in that particular spot seemed to bo racing 'round and 'round. A minute later the centre of the patch began to rise, and the next thing was a waterspout. The water was sucked up as by a pump, and when thousands and thousands of bar rels had been lifted the spout began to travel. The stem of it was about as big as a ship's mast, but it writhed and twisted about like a serpent. The spout did not come near us, but we were shaking with fear for a quarter of an hour." Suppose that a big waterspout should strike a ship—what then?" I asked. "I can give you a plain answer to that," replied Captain Griggs. "In 1878 I made a voyage from Liverpool to tho Cape of Good Hope in the brig Steadfast. We had left St. Helena about 400 miles to tho north of us, when one morning there came a dead calm. About two miles to the south of us lay a Russian merchantman—a big fellow, with a crew of at least thirty men. Up to noon there wasn't air enough to Hare a candle. Then came cat's paws from every point of the compass, and after a while a small waterspout formed near the brig and traveled away to the east. We took alarm at that and got ready. "It had just gone four bells (2 o'clock) when the man who had been sent aloft au hour before hailed the deck in great excitement, and then came sliding down a backstay. A waterspout, which had formed to the south of us, was coming down toward the two ships. It was an ugly sight. It had drawn up so much water that its top was a black cloud a mile in cir cumference, and as it came along the sea under it was boiling and leaping as if a dozen great wbales were at play. The Russian had a gun aboard, and opeued fire with a solid shot, hoping to hit tho stem or break it by concus sion. They tell me that has been done, but I beg to doubt it. "He fired three shots while the spout was dancing about in an uncer tain way; then a current of wind sent it fairly down upon him. We could hear the sailors shouting and see them running about, but all the ships on salt water could not prevent what hap pened. Every one of us had his eyes on the spout when it struck the ship. There was a smash and a orash, and a moment later only a few floating frag ments remained of the big craft. Tens of thousands of barrels of watdr fell upon her from a height of half a mile, and she was literally torn to pieces. We lay a full mile away, and yet the fall of that great body of water upon the surface of the ocean kicked up such a sea that we had to hold on for dear life. The edge of the spout just hit us, and we got rain in sheets and bucketfuls. When a wave rolling in against a breakwater will overturn a block of stone weighing fifteen or twenty tons, you get some slight idea of what might happen under the fall of a whole lake from the sky in a body."—Phila delphia Press.

QUAINT EPITAPHS, Curious Inscriptions on Gravestones In an Old Baptist Burying Ground. Some curious inscriptions are often found on ancient gravestones in coun try cemeteries. [ll an old Baptist burying-ground, Hear Hightstown, N. J., are many tlia/ are remarkable for quaintness and Iriginality. The lament of a wife for her husband is as follows: Mv head and stay is took away, And I am loft alone; My husband dear, who was so near. Is took away and gone. It grieves my heart that I must part With one who was so kind: I must bo still, it is God's will That I am loft behind. An inscription bearing the date 1790 is: Come stop and see What death has done. This is the place Wo all must come! Another reads: Farewell, dear family, hero below, Now Christ has cailod. and I must go; As I am now, so you must be, Preparo for death and follow me. But more interesting even than these are tw6 old graves lying solitary in the midst of a field now well covered with ripening corn. Every year the plough has encroached ou the plot that once surrounded them, and they would uow be completely obliterated were it not for the stones. One of these has been thrown down by a careless plough man, and it was only by turn ing it over and scraping oft' the dirt and moss that the following inscription was deciphered: Sacred to tho memory of Ann Hutchinson, Iteliet of Wm. Hutchinson, Esqr., departed this life .luno 4th, 1801. Aged 101 years 9 months and seven days. She was mother of 13 children and grandmother and great grandmother and great groat-graudmother of 575 persons. liaising Sunken Vessels. Some months ago, when one of our great ocean liners was stuck in the sand at a point only a few hours dis tant from her destination, the sugges tion was made to get the ship out of her environment by washing the sand away from her sides by means of heavy pumps. Very little force would theu be required to pull her into deep water. It was rumored then that masterly inactivity was the policy of some of the parties concerned in her release. Since that time there has been a great deal of discussion as to the best methods of raising sunken ves sels and lifting those that were stuck on sand bars. It is unquestionably the fact that if powerful pumps could be so arranged that streams of water would pour into the sand around the hull of the ship there would be very little time lost in releasing it. In con nection with this means it lias been suggested that heavy iron cylinders be attached to the sides of the vessel as low down as possible. These are pumped full of air or gas and would assist in lifting the vessel and floating her out of harm's way. It is predict ed that this will be the salvage pro cess of the future. Heavy bands of webbing made of strong and suitable material can be worked under the bot tom of the ship. To the ends of this webbing these iron cylinders can be attached. Pumps are then npplied and gas or air is forced into them. Theu the pumps are started and as the sand is washed entirely away from tho sides of the ship the buoyancy of the cylinders slowly lifts the great body to tho surface. Either means used by itself might not have tho de sired effect, but applied together this is unquestionably the most practical method by which such enormous bulk can be raised. The webbing or bands could be placed so close together that they would practically form a network under the hull of the ship. By means of slender rods, ropes could be pushed uuderneath and the webbing could bo drawn through and properly adjusted. When There Were No Postage Stamps, In these days postage stamps are a familiar necessity. Their loss would occasion almost as much confusion and difficulty as the loss of our money system; and yet, fifty years ago the world never had seen a postage stamp nor even an envelope. Before the days of postage stamps it was customary to pay in cash at the postoflice the charges for transporting the letter, and the postmaster stamped the word "paid" above the address. The first stamps were of two denomin ations, five and ten cents. The first bore the likeness of Franklin in rose color, and the second that of Washing ton. Envelopes were not in use in those days, but a sheet of paper was carefully folded and sealed with a red wafer. For a letter of one sheet of paper for a distance less than 300 miles the five-cent stamp sufficed. Wheu envelopes, including the stamped envelopes, came in in 1851, a revision of postal practices was necessary, and weight, instead of the number of sheets of paper, became the standard meas ure. Postage was in that year very much reduced, and the three-cent price for the half-ounce letter was adopted.—Chicago Record. Children at Hoinc.

French authorities say that, the in tensity of the electric light used on men-of-war has caused eye complaints among the sailors, some of which have led to complete blindness. Gray aud blue eyes are more likely to be affected than brown eyes. The eye troubles are due not only to the intensity of the light, but also, it is said by some, to the action of tho ultra violet rays. ' It is asserted by a correspondent of the Gardener's Chronicle that wasps not only devour ripe fruits, such as apricots, grapes aud pears, but that they extend their ravages to rosebuds and blown roses. The blossoms and buds covering two flourishing rose bushes belonging to him were destroyed by wasps, in spite of the battle which he waged with the insects for the pres ervation of his flowers. "A Calcutta physician who was at tacked by a swarm of bees," suys Popu lar Science News, "was stung on the hand, head, face and neck, no fewer than 150 stings being afterward taken from his neck. Fortunately he had some ipecacuanha powder with him, which lie immediately had made into a paste and smeared over the head, face and neck. Tho effect was most marked, preventing to a large extent the swelling and pain which invariably follow the bee's stings." Statistics tending to prove that the average duration of man's life has been increased through modern improve ments iu mediciue and hygiene are always interesting. Among the most recent instances is a table prepared by a correspondent of Nature, showing a steady increase in the proportion of sexagenarians among the population of Canada. In 1851, out of every one hundred persons living in Canada, 3.70 were sixty years of age or over. In 1861 the percentage of sexagenar ians in tho population had increased to 4.49. In 1871 it had become 5.10, in 1881 6.32 and in 1891 7.01. An Extraordinary Fish. A few weeks ago one of tho most ex traordinary fish ever known came to light in Devonshire, England. It was a chub, found in a muddy pool, and certainly it was as hideous a thing as one could well imagine. It was im- I prisoned in a sort of cage formed of the roots of an elm tree that projected under the water, and it had evidently wormed its way into this prison when quite small. Beinguuable to find its way out, it had been forced to grow in the shape of its cage instead of the natural form that all chubs should take. With no room to develop the fish's tail had disappeared altogether, save for a little deformed stump that ; had wedged its way between the roots of the tree. The back fin hail also vanished, for there was 110 room for it to grow in. \The whole body of the luckless chub was distorted and bad 1 grown into the gnarled and twisted form of the root cage. The scales were incrusted with mud aud ar ranged in layers, like the roof slates. It is a puzzle to imagine how the fish fed and lived during its growing years in that watery prison, and what it did when times were hard and no food came by. It seemed contented enough, and was certainly healthy and strong, in spite of its distorted shape. —New York Telegram. Queen Victoria's Loss.
