All the ge -snowshoes I made last winter only w brought me in $90, and that's gone., in And, besides, you know I'm onto you am and your game.' Here he stopped, di .aware tha't the glint of his eyes was 10 more eloquent than words. "In half 9 an hour we'll be at Greenville, anA I then it will be up to you to take your 01 choice. You can eitner-" le Just at that instant my suitcase fell P on its side and I reeled. Gabriel laughed. 4D "Confound it!" I growled; "these 9 bathtub boats are all right enough,! but why do they need to play billiards e with the 'andings like that?" I Gabriel made no answer. The Ka tahdin was whifingheself away from the wharf. I could make out Green- t ville now-a higgeldy-piggledy town, in the heart of the great Maine forest. ni . A noise startled me and I discov-b ered that my suitcase was in Gabriel Perley's clutches. a "Put that down!" I stammered. aj Gabrilel merely glared. "Oh, come - *... .g out my pocket-: i - - just what I am *;'ll have to,.be! .bout the empty a - the money, while t 4ainlst him. What a pity, I thought, to come at this stageT of the game to blackmail and brib ~eryl I The guide touched me on the 0 shoulder. His expression was alto- p gether changed; instead of wearing the bullying, big-chief air, he had a simmered down to a meek cigar-storet Indian. "Just once!" he was' bickering,a pointing to the valise. "What do you .suppose I paid you. for, you fool?" I said in a'low voice, peering round the deck. "Think I'mt going to run the risk of--you knowa what-for your sake?" d Gabriel licked his chops. "Oh, let. her go, then. I thought if yout weren't so blamed stingy I'd tell yout a story that would fit your case like a 0 shell in a shotgun. But, anyhow,s thiere ain't no time to tell it proper; 0 we'll be tied up at the Greenvillet wharf in ten minutes." I reflected. Apparently there wase noone on deck. I pulled a flask of d in from my pocket and thrust it into bisbhands. i "H'm! so you carry it round with you, do you?" he whined, emptying it all at one gulp. much as one frog swallo's another.' Then he began: "I used to be something of a smug gler myself once. It was up at the Little Fork camp. That's the biggest a log outfit in Aroostook, you know. b How well I remember that night!

DOOoeoetoeooeeeee..ee~ Our Government has undertaken teach the farmer how he may de re an additional profit from the by -oducts of his farm, and this is to be -ought about by converting into de Ltured alcohol of all refuse veget le matter. Frozen potatoes, rotten >ples, stale watermelons, cornstalks id cobs--in fact, any vegetable that unfit for consumption is yet good iough to yield alcohol. The Department of Agriculture has eted a model still; and lids obened school in Washington for instruc n in\ the method of manufacture id in the/use of denatured alcohol. e distilling plant is the smallest actical outfit which can be operated -ofitably, and it has a daily capacity twenty-five~ bushels .of corn which 'oduce seventy-five gallons of alco 31 ninety-fwe per cent, pure. Such plant would cost at least $2500 io great an investment for the ordi ryfarmer, but easily made possible id profitable if erected .jointly by a imber of farmers living in one com unity. Comparatively few farmers are able Spersonally inspect the model still :Washington, but the Agricultural epartment has planned to offset this sadvantage. The experimental sta ons in each State will send experts this alcohol school to become thor ghly acquainted with the plant it If, and to take a course of lectures 2 the subject. When these men re irn to their respective States they ill be fully qualified to teach the lo L farmers the best methods for pro cing denatured alcohol. At the present time in France there ce 27,000 farmers who operate dis leries for producing alcohol used iindustrial purposes, and there is o reason that the agriculturists in is country should not turn their at mtion to this profitable business. [any of our farmers use gasoline for anning pumps, corn shellers, saws ad other machinery, and there would e a great saving were alcohol, man factured from the vegetable refuse 'hich ordinarily is wasted, to be sub :ituted for the expensive oil.-Har er's Weekly.* Of Course, It's Time. A farmer had a mile of tile that it working and he went to the >wer end to Investigate. He found it ll of snakes of all kinds that had rawled into the tile and become -edged there. Failing to pull them ut he got his team, and tying a rope round them started to haul them ut. After a good, sharp pull or two ae team loosened them, when it was :und that the first ones had crawled i they came to the end of the tile, bose that followed becoming hungry wallowed the one ahead, and was in arn syLallowed by the one .that come fter.

The first one was hasing a bullfrog, which luckily es aped by crawling throu-gh a hole in he side of the tile, but the snake ouldn't bend short enough to make he turn.

The yield of thirty-five gallons a ton does not make it a pay ing proposition. The "singing arc" has lieen so far perfected that it is made use of as an avIveptisement feature of a Paris shop. The lamp hangs in front of the store and at all times during the day aial night there is a continual concert of musical features inferspersed with vocal references to the virtues of the articles to be found on sale within the store. One of the latest Parisian inven tions is the trackless trolleys and they threaten to be taken up in America within a few'years. The new cars are a good bit on the order of the present electric vehicles, but *:.Y have rubber tires and run on any of the streets. They are much cheaper to operate. do not interfer with other street traffic and can be constructed in a short time. A new kind of piano, the choxal celo, has the ordinary keys and ham mers, which may be used. it desired, but is also provided with electro mag nets, arranged to vibrate the wires without striking with the hammers. The tones, when produced by the action of the electro magnets, are said to resemble those of an organ combined with a stringed instrument, giving more novel possibilities of mel ody. Staff Surgeon Oswald Rees, of the British navy, says the negro's color gives him an advantage over the white man in the stoke hold, as well as in the sun. "In the sun," this au thority explains, "dark skins resist heat better; in the stoke hold It ra diates heat better." Dr. Rees says the little thin man loses heat much more rapidly .and, therefore, is a much better stoker than is the more fleshy -man. The latest invention In wireless telegraphy Is the construction of an underground station in Parla. It is being erected in the Champ de Mars, and will probably be open for use next month. The station will be fitted up on the latest approved lines, and comprise a machine room, a transmitting pole * and accommoda tion for the officials. By the Intro duction of a" 100-horsepower engine it is hoped that messages may be ex changed with ' places about 5000 miles distant. The result of the ex periment will be awaited with much interest. . A system of wireless signaling for airships has been invented by Dr. Friedrich Lux. The idea of the In ventor, states the Electrical Engineer, is that all airships should be equipped with a receiving apparatus which will weigh only six pounds, and that wire less' signaling .stations should be equipped all over the country at about fifty kiloms. apart. At inter vals of five minutes these signal sta tions should send out wireless mes-. sages by which they could be identi fled and aviators informed of their whereabouts. A combination of a few letters would, it is suggested, be sufficient to distinguish one station from ancther; .and by the increasing or decreasing strength of the electric impulse the aviator could tell whether he was approaching or receding from a particular station. SIEK MORE DURAU~LE PAPER. Several Nations in Quest of Medium That Will Better Preserve Records. Alarmed regarding the permanency of their State papers and other valu able documents, the leading Govern ments of the world, headed by the United States, are seeking paper of as nearly as indestructible character as can be made. This announcement was made in a statement issued by the Department of Agriculture, which was prepared by F. P. Veitch, chief of the leathe-r and paper laboratory, Bu reau of Chemistry, on. "The Need for Good Paper." Already several Governments have Introduced stringent requirements with which record paper must com ply. The need In this country for more durable paper is a real one, Mr. Veitch declares. Important State pa pers, correspondence,- deeds, bonds, certificates, ledgers, court records and certain printed documents are so val uable, It is stated, that it is absolutely necessary that the paper upon which they are printed should be as nearly indestructible as possible. It Is declared that the quality of the paper Is not the only problem that should give concern. So rapidly are records of all kinds increasing that their proper storage and safekeeping are a serious problem. Paper should be not only durable, but light and thin, so that the burden of its proper handling and storage may be reduced as far as possible. Sherlock in the Kitchen.

A-lanta for his leg to be ampu tated. During nl of this time it vms neces sary to administer morphine to relieve his pain, and the long continued use of the morphine produced the habit. 'His general t system became so thoroughly poisoned with the drug that it produced a very serious condition of his heart. he would have attacks with his heart and remain un--onscious as C long as ten and eleven hours. He could not t leave the morphine off, it was necessary for him to take as much as three or four grains every hour daring the day. In consulting I with his physicians and family as to going to a Sanitarium to be treated for the morphine his physit-lans gave him no hope and plain ly told him and his family 4hat he could not be cured, if he attempted to take treatment he could not live more than a few days, and in his present condition he was liable to die at any time from one of his attacks with his heart. After the consultation he decided to f go to Dr. W. A. Starnes' Sanitarium in At- 1 lanta, Ga., which he did. In six weeks he left. the Sanitarium thoroughly cured of the morphine, his general condition was better than it had been for more than three years. To-day there isn't a man in Butts County who enjoys any better health,-his-weight is two hundred andtwenty five pounds. - The people of hisi..county were so proud of his cure that they sent him to the Legislatu this puast summr..
