"Big Ben," so called after Sir Benja min Hall, whp was the first commis sioner of works, when the order for the clock was given, was cast in 1856 at Norton, near Stockton-on-Tees. From the North of England this enormous bell, weighing sixteen tone, was conveyed to London by sen, where it had, on a small scale, almost as ad venturous a passage as the Egyptian obelisk which now graces the Thames embankment. Once or twice during the foyage, indeed, It was feared that it would send the vessel bearing it to the bottom of the ocean. Not very long after the clock had been placed in a temporary position at Westminster— on Oct. 24, 1857—and while it was be ing rung, as was customary for a short time at 1 o'clock on Saturdays, it was noticed that it had a cracked, uncer tain sound. On a minute examination with a light (Hi candle a crack was discovered to extend from the rim about half way up the side. The catastrophe to an iu- STrunient wnicn cost valued the question as to who was to pay for re casting it. The founders repudiated responsibility, declaring that too heavy a clapper (it weighing 12cwt.) had been used. The authorities, however, placed ou record that it was "porous, unhoiiio geneous, unsound, and a defective cast lug." Be that as it may, "Big Ben" was broken up and recast at a cost of £7OO. Its weight was 13 tons 10 cwt. 3 qr. 15 lbs., Its diameter 9 feet, and its height outside 7 feet 6 inches. It was rung for the first time on Nov. 18, 1858. Alas! in less than a year after this the new bell ceased to strike the hours, having become more seriously cracked than its predecessor. The crack, which was inside, was three inches In extent. For about three years afterward the hours were struck on the largest of the quarter bells. The experiment was then tried of turning tiie greatt bell round so as to present a fresh place for the hammer, or clapper, to strike on. With a light hammer this experiment proved so far satisfactory that during the thirty-eight years that have elapsed the fissure does not seem to have in creased; and it is possible when tho wind Is favorable to distinctly boar it in most of the suburlxs booming out the midnight hour.—London Mail. The First I'oiar Uxplorcr. The hardy mariners who were the pioneers in polar discovery achieved wonders, considering that they had everything to learn about methods of arctic work and their vessels and equipment were very inadequate. One of the greatest of all arctic voyagers, says Harper's Weekly, was the man who commanded the first true polar ex pedition, William Rarutz. He sailed from Holland in # 1594 on the little fish ing smack Mercurious. and the object of his voyage shows how ignorant the merchants and seamen of those days were as to the navigability of arctic seas. Barentz pushed into the unknown for the purpose of sading around the north end of Nova Zeuiblh, ami find ing a northeast passage to China; and so for a month lie skirted the wall of ice that barred his way, seeking in ev ery direction, for a lane by which lie might travel through the pack, putting his vessel about eighty-one times, and traveling back and forth along the lee edge for seventeen hundred miles. The highest north lie attained during this careful examination of the ice edge was 014 statute miles south of -the highest point reached by Nausea or 871 miles from the pole. A Rcnntlful C,ill's Affliction. From the Republican, Versailles, Ta I. The Tuckers of Versailles, Ind., like nil foml parents, aro completely wrapped up in tlieir children.

WOMAN'S ISLAND, PEOPLED ONLY WITH AMAZONS. Able to Dc.'pnil Their Teri Itory—They Till the Noil unci Sail Their Cauocs- Their Timidity Overcome by Present! of llcads-A missionary's Narrative. Dr. James Chalmers, a missionary, of New Guinea, gives this account of an island among the Friendly Islands, inhabited solely by women. The doc tor's narrative is published by tho Christ Church (New Zealand) Press: "At Port Moresby I had heard of a woman's land, a land whero only women—perfect Amazons—lived and ruled. Those ladies were reported to be excellent tillers of the soil, splen did canoeists in sailing or paddling, and quite able to hold their own against attacks of the sterner sex, who sometimes tried to invade their coun try. "To find so interesting a commun ity was of great moment. As no part of the coast from East Cape to Port Moresby would be left unvisited by lis, we were certain to come across the Amazonian settlement. We heard that Mailiukolo (Toulon) canoes with women were more numerous, and some very large ones witli women alone. In the early morning we were oil" the island, and soon ready to land. On crossing tho reef we met two canoes, one with men and one with women. We sigued to them to go to tho vessel, while we pulled up to tho largo village 011 the north side. "As the boat touched the fine, hard sandy beach, a man, the only being in sight, ran down and stood in front. I went forward to spring ashore, but he said I must not. Finding he knew the Daunai dialect, I said to him, I must land; that I was a friend, and gave Liui my name, which he already knew from tho east. T gave him a strip of red cloth and stepped ashore, when ho ran away into the bush. "At our first approach I could only see this one man, but now I saw hun dreds of grass petticoats on AVOID en standing under the houses. I could not see the upper parts of their bodies, only the petticoats and feet. They were indeed quiet until I advanced aearer, when one wild scream was given that would try stronger nerves than mine, and signs to keep away. It required more inquisitiveness than J poaeessed to proceed. I retired a few paces, warning the boat's crew to keep a good lookout, and especially from the bush end of the village, where the man ran to. I invited the dusky damsels to come to mo, if they objected to my visiting them; but no, I must return whence I came; they had seen me, that was enough. 'No, my friends, we must meet, and you will have some presents.' "I held up my beads and red 6lotb, but, strange to say, they seemed to have no effect on that strange crowd. L never saw so many women together. How were wo to meet? was the ques tion; to bo balked by them would never do. I threw 011 the beach a piece of red cloth and a few beads; walked away quite carelessly and apparently not ! noticing what was taking place. A girl steals from out of crowd, stops, turns, eyes fixed 011 me; advances, stops, crosses her hands, pressing her breast. Poor thing, not courage suongh; so, lightning speed, back. It is evident the old ladies object to the younger ones attempting, and tliey are themselves too frightened. Another young damsel about nine or ten years Did comes out, runs, halts, walks cat like, lest to touch of lier feet on the Band should waken me from my re verie; another halt, hold lier chest, lest the spirit should take its flight, or the pattering heart jump right out. I rear it was beyond the slight patter then, and had reached the stentorian thump of serious times. On; a rush; well done! She picks cloth and beads up. "I have gained my point and will soon have the crowds—no need to wait so long to have the baits picked up now, and after a i'ew more such tomptings it is done. I am besieged by the noisiest crowd I have ever met, and am turly glad to escape 011 board the boat. We went to the vessel, and brought her round to the west side, where we anchored, and lagaiu landed. Crowds met me on the beach, but no men. I gavo my beads indiscrimin ately, and soon there was a quarrel between the old ladies and the young ones. The latter were ordered off, and because they would not go, I must go. The old ladies insisted 011 my getting into the boat, and, being now assisted by the few men we met in the canoe, I thought it better to comply. Long after wo left the beach wo heard those old cracked, crabbed voices anathematising the youuger members of that community. "I am fully convinced that this is the Woman's Island, and can easily account for its being called so by stray canoes from the westward." Praise For the Dukn. The Duke of Wellington once said "The greate st compliment I have had paid in my life was once when our fel lows got into a scrape in the north of Hpaiu and had been beaten back in some disorder. I rode up and rallied them, and led them back, and they re covered the lost ground. Just as I rode up, one of the men stepped out ol the ranks and called out: 'Here comes the mail what knows how.'"—Corn-' hill Magazine. A Novel Clock. An electric clock of new design has jn->t been erected on the southeast side 0/ Piccadilly circus, London, by a company supplying synchronized time Service.

How Many Been in n Colony? How many bees in n colony? de pends upon the season of year. How ever, a few hundred bees] and a queen may be called a small colony, but 3 believe an average colony contain? perhaps thirty or thirty-five thousand bees, and during the honey seasoD when they n?? at their greatest strength, they may have double the above number, and when at then lowest number, which is in late winter, they may run down to ten thousand, or much less. To get at any correct estimate of this is rather difficult, and many give the average of a fair work ing colony at twenty or twenty-five thousand, while some think it possible for a colony to reach seventy-five thousand.—Agricultural Epitomist. Home-Grown Bcof. It is possible to profitably grow on every large farm some young cattle that at two or three years old can be turned off for beef without seriously lessening farm products in any way. Wo have known dairymen to do this, feeding this young stock with much that they could not feed to cows with out affecting the quality of the milk. Such young stock when fattened will make beef, for which a ready sale can be liad by the side or quarter in every neighborhood. If it is killed in cold weather, the meat may bo kept frozen for weeks at a time, so that much of it may be used fresh. That which is salted will be almost equally ap preciated next spring and summer. Every farmer used to barrel one or two beeves every year. Now, most of them only put up pork for the meat supply. The change lias not been a good one either for the pocket or for the health of the farming population. —Boston Cultivator. Farm Fences. The question of farm fences is one (n which the farmer is more interested than in politics, and the one who solves the problem in the most practical way will be a benefactor to his race. For outside and lino fences Osage Orange is all light, for a well-kept, well trimmed hedge is a "thing of beauty" and a fence "forever;" but a neglected hedge is unsightly and a disgrace to tlio farm. Every farm must have in sido fences, the advice of some agri cultural writers to the contrary not withstanding. Some of these might lie hog-tight, and what shall they be? A combination board and wire fence is good, but expensive, and requires more or less attention to keep it in re pair. Much the same may be said of the picket and wire fence. The woven wire seems to be the coming fence, but at present prices it is a luxury the small farmer can indulge in but sparingly. The man who will invent a good, substantial hog-tight fence which will come within the reach of all, will aohievo both name and fame.—J. C. Corn, of Cameron, Mo. Cow Peas and Soja Finn*. There are two crojDs to which atten tion is being directed, and which have been overlooked by farmers in this section—cow peas and soja beans. There aro several varieties of them, audit is possible that it may be neces sary to experiment some beforo the kinds best suited of either will bo found for the particular farm upon which they are grown. It is not that the farmers will be able to grow more of the peas and bean 3 than they will of corn, or that they will give a larger profit, but they will assist iu provid ing not only a variety but a more nilro geneous food, while at the same time benefiting the soil to a certain extent, as they belong to the leguminous family of plants, the same as clover. Cow peas have been grown with ex cellent success in New Jersey, and the soja bean is even hardier. In the Northern States the black variety of cow pea —sometimes known as' "nig ger"—lias been preferred, but there are many varieties, and no doubt those nourishing best iu the South will also do well here (among them the Wonder ful), as they seem to thrive on anj land that will produce corn. The soja bean contains more protein unci fat than the cow pea, but is not so well known. One of the advantages with both crops is that the vines are highly relished by cattle, and where crops aro grown and hogs turned in to do the harvesting tlio results have been very satisfactory and the laud improved.—Philadelphia Record.
