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

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.

A Spelling-bee.
"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

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

A TALK WITH MRS. PLNKHAM
About the Oause of Anemia.
1 Everybody comes into this world with a pre

ray/ I In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the
JY l I wea k spot women is somewhere in the uter-
j v * ne s Y stem * uterine organs have less re-

* ' Not more than one woman in a hundred
nay., In five hundred—has perfectly healthy organs of generation. 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?

"Doctors did not help me any. I should have been

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.

TERROR ON THE DEEP.
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

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.

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.

PRAISES THE COUNTRY.
lormer Governor of Alaska Speaks
Kind Words for the Territory,
i James SkeaUiey, who has returned
f-om a ten years' residence In Alaska,
1, ' last four of which he was governor
of tde territory, speaks In terms of the
highest praise of the country and its
great gold resources. He says that
the territory will furnish the country
"with gold for a century. The great
bodlcß of low grade ores buried In Al
aska, be says, arc practically inexhaus
tible. The most Important Informa
tion brought back by the former gov
ernor, however, Is to the effect that the
American territory contains regions as
rich in gold as the British. He urges
; the necessity of an early start to the
| mines. "When the Yukon freezes up,"
said Mr. Sbeakley, "It freezes to a
depth of six and seTen feet, and blocks
of ice pile up so that no boat left in the
river could possibly be saved. Alaska's
resources are her mines and her fisher
ies. The fur business Is a passing In
dustry that will disappear with all the
[ seals in a few years unless the strict
est protection be accorded the animals."
Mr. Sheakley says that Alaska has no
agricultural possibilities and will nev
er have any. There Is no soil, he adds,

and no climate. It never gets warm
enough for crops to mature. Wheat I
and oats, even If they could be grown, |
would stay green until Christmas and |
would not mature. At present there

There are no taxes, no Legislature, and
no multiplicity of laws. There are n

States marshal, with seven deputies,
a district attorney and seven commis
sioners or judges. But, according to
the recent governor, the territory's
mineral prospects are unlimited.
