"Ware aegir! - Ware aegir!" The river Trent hus been towing out to the sea for hours, leaving long stretches of brown mud glittering in the light of the setting sun. It is a cnlm summer evening, and we sit wait ing and listening on one of the old j wharves of. Gaiosborough, Lincoln. shire. The cry is taken up by, every boatman, who shouts it again upstream --a strange, eerie warning. Several small boats are now pushing off into midstream to avoid the mass of churning water which breaks on the foreshore. A group of children add to the tnmult with a shrill ery of "Wild, aegir! Wild aegir!" which they com- sider a wuch better rendering than "Ware aegir!" By craning forward we can see it paw, rounding a beud of the river by the shipyard. The first wave is big and smooth, stréfching right across the river, with a swirl of angry water at each side; next follow five gr six big rollers, which roar dnd fo&m' along! leaving masses of broken water in their wake, These are caded the "whelps." Presently we sball seé the force of these "whelps" when they reach those big, unwieldy. square nosed barges-- which, by the way, are called "keels." There is one such swinging at anchor in midstream just opposite to us. For the last half hour the old keelman has been lolling about the deck smoking his clay and lvoking idly at the water. Now he is alert all at ouce, and, knocking the ashes out of his pipe, he gives a turn at the windlass to tighten the anchor chain. After a glance along the deck to see that all is secure. he looks back up the river. He is cal- culeting where the aegir will carry him to. \ Theretis another barge higher up the river, and as yet nobody has stirred on board. The oid man has noticed iit for he shouts, "Ware aegir. Stoney, my lad!" and a young fellow jumps up the hatch and runs to the tiller. - The distant swish has increased to a roar now, and a feeling of intense ex- citement grips us as we see a small boat rise up on the first wave and dis- appear for a moment in the hllow. Cp again she rises. right into the froth of the "wheips." Another moment and she is through into calmer water. See! The billow dashes like a monster tidal wave against a wharf and splash- es high up into the air with a roar and smother of white fod. Now ft bas reached the-*keek™ With a groan- and rattle of chain she vises to the wave and Is carried along with it, but hot very far, for the anchor holds fast and she swings slowly round. The keel Is broadside on now, and the creamy "whelps" dash right over ber deck as she rolls in the trough of waves, but as quickly as it takes to tell she swings stem on to the current, which is now rushing upstream with tremendous force, and will continue to do so for two hours or more until high witter, when the water lazily returns toward the sea. The aegirs are not all as big as this one; some are a mere swell about a foot high. The best time to see them is in the spriug and antumu, when the equinoctial tides are big on the coast Just below Galusborough the aegir is seen at its best, as it rushes along some of the longest reaches of the Trent. + This curious tidal! phenomenon only occurs on one or two other rivers in Great Britain, the Severn being one of them, where it is known as the "bore." Those who have seen it, however, say that it does not equal the aegir in any way.~Wide World Magazine, ------------------ How Railroads Create Wealth. Our marvelous crops would count for gothing if forced to lie in the fields where they grow, or driven to seek such markets only as the farmer's team could reach. The cotton crop. which brings to.our shores annually pearly half a billion dollars of foreign gold. would be but a fruitless burden on southern winds if there were no railways to carry it to the seaboard. We take from our mines and forests and factories twenty billions of dol lars each year. but without means of transportation these costly products would be worthless junk.--Robert Ma- ther in Leslie's.

A § Y BUGLES. i rom Sheets of Copper by an ingenious Process. From start to finish the waking of an army bugle is a process of much ingenuity and interest. A bugle may ARM ned Fashio | pot at first sight present a striking re- semblance to tS cousin, the coach horn, but one is practically a curled up version of the other, for before the bugle is bent into shape it consists of a' narrow tube fifty-one inches long. In the first stage of manufacture the bugle is cut out of sheet copper and rolled into two thin cylinders, technic ally known as the "bell" and the "branch." The narrow tube, which is the "bell," is gradually shaped out on molds until the opening is the regular four inches in diameter, It is then "spun" on a wonderful machine, and an expert workman takes the rough edges off the copper. Both sections are afterward filled with molten lead preparatory to the bending stage. and it is this solid stuffing which prevents the tube breaking in the process and allows it to keep its shape. The expert workman, with the ald of a formidable lever and hammer, bends 'the bugle into the familiar shape. the lead being subsequently melted out at a charcoal furnace, after which the instrument is sent off to the polishers. One of the most intricate parts of the bugle is the mouthpiece, which is made of nickel silver find turned out on a special lathe. With the mouthpiece fixed the instrument is ready for the testing room.--Pearson's Weekly. BUCK THE LINE HARD. People Who Do Big Things Do Not Let Themselves Be Held. It was on the football field at one of the large colleges. A big tackle had been brought over to the varsity field from one of the class elevens. It was his first experience with the big team. He played a tine game until the other side had the ball. Then he did not "break through" as he should. The coach finally stopped the play and went over to him. "What is the trouble? you get through?" he said. "The man opposite me is not playing fair. He is holding we." said the tackle. "If he holds you again I'll put you off the field!" flashed back the coach. Of course, as the tackle said, it is against the rules to bold an opponent unless he has the ball, but the coach wanted results and-not excuses. His position was that a man ought somehow to break away: that no man must let himself be held. And that is true, no one ought to let himself be held. The excuse may be excellent, but a player who is beld is put out of the game as effectively as if he were off the field. He might just as well be off the field. The people who accomplish things worth while in the world are those whe will not jet themselves be held There have alwags been things énough to hold them. They might have found excellent excuses, but they have not had to use any excuses.--Youth's Com- panion. Why don't Home For a Holiday. Some men on a home holiday tinker all day long, others bring with them a great many books which they never read, and the result in both cases is that housekeeping becomes a pro- longed picking up. All men at home on a vacation eat a great deal more than other men or than at other times, but with the sole exception of the anomalous academic, who is always concerned for his gastronomy, they will eat anything and enjoy it and say so. A man at home for his holiday is al- ways vociferously appreciative. His happiness is almost enough to repay a woman for the noise he makes and the mess, yet statistics could show that during any man's home vacation the women of the house lose just about as many pounds as the han gains. But what are women fur, or homes ?--April Atlantic.

A malady that causes one death out of every eight among women and one out of every fourteen among mei ovér forty is fairly com mon. On this basis it does not take much arithmetic to fignre out how likely it is that cancer will occur many times in some families. The eminent statisticians, King and Newsholme, have pointed out that it does not prove heredity to show that in one family five deaths &ccurred from cancer. By the very frequency of the disease and the laws of chance such cases would be expected even if no one had ever suggested the idea of heredity.

In fighting sleeplessness | have found aothing so helpful as a simple pro- cedure based on the conditions which recent psychological experiment has proved to be fundamental to sleep. These are: Mental and muscular relaxation, lim. itation of voluntary movement and monotony of sensation. To obtain these the next time you find yourself wakeful select on the wall of your room some ornament or spot which, by reason of a ray of light frei the moon or street lamp, seems to stand out clearly from its surround- ings. Having selected this spot, as- sume a comfortable position in bed, taking care that you lie in such a way that yon can see the spot on the wall body. Next, remaining perfectly motionless | and thinKing of nothing but the spot on the wall, gaze at it through half closed lids in such a way that it seems remote and indistinct. Be sure not to try to get a full view of it. That would mean tension, not relaxation, and would defeat your pur- pose. Your gaze at the spot. while steady, must be without any straining of the attention. Soon, if you have continued to lle perfectly quiet and to think of nothing New Yor | without straining any part of your | but the spot on the wall, you will find | your eyelids grow heavy and close com- | pletely.

Remember, how- ever, that you must lie perfectly still, moving neither your bands nor your legs. Try this device the next time you are troubled by wakefulness. From per | sonal experience I am satisfied that. if you follow it faithfully in its details, | you will find thet it works like a | charm.--H. Addin sas City Times. Big Hats Iw Colonial Days. The question of high hats at public places was of some moment. even in In 1769 the church at Andover, Mass,, put it to vote wheth er "the parish disapprove of the fe on Bruce in Kan- | male sex sitting with their hats on in | the meeting house in time of divine service as-being indecent." In the town of Abington in 1770 it was voted that it was "an indecent way with the feminine sex to sit with their bats and bounets on in worshiping God." Still another -town voted that it was the "town's mind" that the women should take their bonnets off in meeting and bang them on the pegs. The jewel of consistency looks well on all who are fair enough to wear it. Consideration in the family means more than something to eat and wear.
