Ktsa Cooler, a dan^hter of the novol-
l*t, James Fcuunore' Cooper, states that
whtn in Paris sho saw a French transla-;
tion of her fathei’s tale, “The Spy,” in
which there were several mistakes, but
one of them was snob that it was almost
incredible that any one could pocmihly
have been guilty of it. The residence of
Mr. Wharton, one of the characters who
figure in the wtftf V. ia spoken of-hy the
author as “The Locnsft.” Now, the
translator had evidently T>een ignorant
©f the circumstance of there being any
Species of trees Ixuiring this name.
Haring, therefore, looked up the word
iniiis dictionary, and finding the, defini
tion to be' 1 'given as “Los Kautorellea”--
grasshoppers-tlnis he rendered it in the
text. Presently, however, he came across
a paragraph in the novel in which it was
stated that a visitor to the house of Mr.
Wliartou had tied his horse to a locust.
Then it might bo naturally supposed
that the translator would at once have
discovered his error. Not a hit of it!
His reasoning would appear to have been
somewhat on a parity with that of a cele
brated countryman of his, when he de
clared that “if the facts do not agree
with the tlieory, so much the worse for
the facts.”
Nevertheless, the writer seems to have
been conscious that some explanation
was due of so extraordinary a statement
as that a horseman had secured his steed
to a grassbupixT. So he went on gravely
to inform his readers that in America
these insects grow to an enormous size,
and that in this caso one of these, dead
and stuffed, had been stationed* at the
door o# the mansion for the convenience
of the visitors on horselmck!—Bookmark.
Stanley After ITU Return.
Nothing worried Stanley more th^n a
tap at the door while ho wan writing.
He sometimes glared like a tiger ready
to spring. When his courier knocked
tremblingly at his door he would cry
out.“Am I a prisoner in my own honse? ,,
•Tve brought you this telegram, sir.”
“Well, 1 detest telegrams. Why do
yon persist in bringing them?"
Every time Bali, his African servant,
approached the den the least thing ho
expected was that the inkstand would be
thrown at his head.
One dag* he originated a new way of
saving his hea-L _ He had s telegram to
deliver, so he ingenionsly fixed it on the
end of along bamboo, and getting the
door just njar he poked it into the mom
and bolted. * • ■
Although averse to reading correspond
ence. .Stanley read some letters with
kann delight, and one in particnlar fmin
a little girl. It contained the following
ekaractfristie lines:
“It was very kind of yon to go through
such perils to reacne Emin PashA. I
liked ao ranch to hear of your fighting
againat the dwarfs, ami should like to
aea one very much. They must look ao
funny, being ao small. 1 am a little
•rbonl girl at school, and 1 am U
years old. I am vary fond of geogrnjdiy.
and am always longing to go round the
world "- Scribner’s.

While it is proper to entertain hope under the most gloomy circumstances, yet it
is well to remember that self help is the best help. To men of mature years and

Surer, Safer and Shorter Roads to Reform
than those controlled by the politicians. The prudent do not put all their eggs

make the opportunity themselves.
Now in all candor the most lasting prosperity starts at home. It begins there

The practice of American oil well
linkers of firing the torpedo to start a
dry or increase the flow of a alnggiah
well has been taken advantage of in Eng
land successfully in thy case of water.
At the Herne Bay Water works a well
bored into the chalk 570 feet deep from
the snrfhce yielded little or no water,
and upop the advice of Messrs. John
Taylor & Sons two charge* of roburito
were fired—the first consisting of twen
ty-seven ponnds of the explosive placed
at the bottom of the bore hole, and the
eecond of twenty-five pounds at fifty feet
above the former. The stvonfl shot had
the desired result, and produced a vol
ume of water estimated at 50,000 gallons
a day, which rose to the top of the well.
