Prayer Had to Be Continued XIU a Miss* Ing Book Was Found. , The youthful Mr. Bagby, the chap­ lain of the last house, was exceedingly popular personally among the mem­ bers of all parties and creeds, says the Minneapolis Journal. He made, a hot contest for the place and filled it to the satisfaction of everybody after he had won it. He is something of a wag, end can enjoy a joke as much as any layman. Rev. Mr. Bagby, with but, a single exception, always cut his invo­ cations short at the opening of the house each morning, and the reason for this one long prayef has just leaked out. One morning 'during the last ses­ sion, the clerks at the speaker's desk Were Un,able to find the house journal, without, the'reading of which the busi­ ness of the house could not be begun. The. chaplain bad. begun his prayer, rind was drif ting along-, when the read­ ing clerk touched his arm and in an ex­ cited whisper said: "Keep on with the prayer until we find the journal. We have lost it." The chaplain continued, and a few seconds later the reading clerk again nudged him, requesting that he con­ tinue longer, as they were unable to find the missing volume. "Don't stop until I tell you," he said. "Keep this tiling up so that we don't get into a scrape. We'll find it in a minute." The preacher continued his prayer, and the surprise of the members grew to wonder as they listened to the long continued invocation of Rev. Mr. Bag- by. Finally the missing book was found and the clerk nudged the chap­ lain, who brought his lengthy prayer to a somewhat abrupt end. BRUIN'S ACUTE GASTRITIS. It Was the Result of a Meal Dynamite. Thomas Miline, a New Yorker, who was ^visiting friends at Binghamton, started with them on his first bear hunt the other^ayvsays the S.t Louis Globe= Democrat. Footprints were traced through a patch of woods into a glen, where they became partly obscured. The ravine was a rocky wall, about 20 feet high, and near by two Italians were at work excavating for a railroad switch-to be used-in the transfer of_log-s to the main line. They were preparing to thaw out a quantity of dynamite for blasting purposes. The hunters left and returned later, when one of the Italians accused them of stealing the dynamite they were preparing to thaw. There was a rustling in the under­ brush on the bank high above, and the shaggy hide of the long-sought bear came iuto sight. Miline emptied both barrels in tar the brute's head. The bear lunged heavily forward and tumbled over the bank. His fall was followed by a terrific, explosion. The hunters, when they examined the remains, or fragments, of the bear, discovered that he had been literally blown to pieces. It is supposed that he came upon the dynamite that the workmen had pre­ pared to thaw, and finding it sweeet and nf>t unpalatable swallowed the whole of it. His internal heat had thawed the dynamite, and in falling he struck a roclc, causing the explosion. Several -windows in a neighboring the shock.

Apol- liuarls Bottles. Rarely does it happen that the most familiar work of a Tvell-known artist, seen by millions of people and recog­ nized everywhere in the civilized world, goes without the signature of the art­ ist himself, and ia not thought of by more than a handful of people as his drawing, says the New York Mail and Express. Yet this is the case with a creation of no less a person than George du Maurier, and' the artistic work in question is the picture of the bubbling spring which decorates the label of every bottle of apollinaris water. That the author and illustrator of "Trilby" should have drawn the design on a mineral water bottle may seem strange, but the explanation Mr. Du Maurier has himself given. A great friend of the artist is a principal stock­ holder in the Apollinaris companj1-, and when the water was first placed on sale he was in doubt as to the stjde of label. Mr. Du Maurier heard of thg dilemma, and at = once volunteered to draw the design, which has since made the cir­ cuit of the globe. RETRIEVER'S TRICK. The Dog Has a Most Unique Way of Catch* ing: Rats. The following story is of a retriever dog belonging to the housekeeper of a newspaper office on the Strand, says the New York Sun: "Rats are constantly caught on the premises, and the dog, fully aware of their habits, evinces such ability that his intelligence is quite worthy of rec­ ord. Last Sunday he was heard bark­ ing loudly, calling for assistance in tlife the compositors' room, where there is a rat-hole in the floor. The dog had watched two fine rats come up through their hole, and immediately they were fairly away from their point of entry he rushed up and sat on the hole to cut off their means of retreat, barking forthwith for help. Nothing would in­ duce him to budge till a board was brought aid placed over the hole, when he started in pursuit, and soon dis­ patchedyche intruders. His master as­ sures me that the dog originated this ingenious method of procedure, and tliat he has practiced it with like suc­ cess on several other occasions." Champion of England. The*olfice of champion of England was instituted in the reign of Richard Ilk- On( tihe sovereign's ^coronation day he rode up to Westminster hall on a white horse, proclaimed the title of the new monarch, and, throwing down a gauntlet o* iron glove, challenged any who dared to dispute his right to tha throne to single combat. . . * M'HENRY, ILLINOIS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1896.

Sensitive Instrument Which Register* Heat from the Moon. To tell whether a thermometer ac­ curately does its work invert the in­ strument, says the New York World. If the mercury does not fall to the end or if, it breaks into several small col­ umns, the thermometer contains air and is inaccurate. If perfectly made the slender thread should fill the tube or break off at the bulb and fall to the end of the tube. There is another interesting fact about thermometers. Nine persons out of ten think the mercurial column round, but that is not the case. Th© thread of mercury in thermometers i» flat. If it were round the column could hardly be seen, for the opening1 of the tube is as fine as the finest thread. Some eight of ten years ago a Boston manufacturer introduced a scheme o# coating the back of the tube with White sizing. That makes the column of mercury stand out clear and dis­ tinct. Thermometers are cj&aper and bet­ ter than ever before. "5$ou can now buy a heat marker for 25 cents, but a first- class instrument will cost you two dol­ lars. A cheap instrument is like a cheap watch--it is unreliable. The reason for this is that a perfect thermometer has a scale of its own. The cheap ther­ mometer is made on guesswork. Hence you see a difference of two, three or five degrees between thermometers in the same locality on the same day. The most sensitive heat marker is the Crookes. It consists of four arms suspended on a steel pivot, rotating like a miniature wind gauge, and the whole affair is inclosed in a glass tube from which the air has been exhausted. The light of a candle one or two feet away causes the arms to rotate. Quite as sensitive is the thermopile, which is used to detect the faint rays of heat transmitted from the moon and stars to this cold world. ONLY A STONE WALL STOPS IT. Little Animal That Makes a Most Re­ markable Pilgrimage. By far the most remarkable pilgrim­ age ever observed among the lower ani­ mals was that witnessed in Norway, not onoe, but several times within this century, says the New York Mercury. A party of fishermen upon one occa­ sion were encamped on the borders of a small ford, and were mending their nets when they observed a number of lemmings--a little animal allied to the beavers--coming out of the wood that ski'fted the shore. At first, seeing the men, they ran back; then others ap­ peared, and more, until hundreds were upon the bench. As the day passed the numbers con­ tinually increased until before night the camp of the men was alive with the little creatures that now began to take to the water. Thousands came pour­ ing from the woods in the ensuing few days, followed by hawks and other predatory animals that feed upon them. They passed on into the water, swim­ ming over it, scores being drowned during the passage, the rest reach­ ing the opposite shore and moving on into the woods, impelled by the strange instinct. It is said that nothing deters these pilgrims but a stone wall, which they cannot scale. Piles of grain and fodder they have been known to tunnel through, their instinct being to move ahead in a given line. The fishes make remarkable pilgrim­ ages from one shore to another, and in such vast bodies as to defy descrip­ tion. APPLICATION OF A FABLE. He Wore Sheep's Clothes, Bat Prsred to Be a Wolf In the Fold. The story of the ass who clothed him­ self in a lion's skin in order to pass him­ self off as the king of beasts is well known, but the tale of the thief who got inside a sheep's skin to be better able to carry on his nefarious trade has yet to be told, says the London Telegraph. Early one morning two policemen, who were on duty at the slaughter houses of Paris, were astonished to see a sheep endeavoring to effect an entrance into the inclosure where creatures of its kind were stationed. But the officers' attention was redoubled when a man's hand protruded from beneath the stolen fleece. Their curiosity became intensified, and they carefully followed the sham animal, who stopped at the pen which inclosed the real articles, and with great coolness chose the two largest and fattest of the flock. Still observed by the watchful guardi­ ans of the law, this plagiarist of an an­ cient fable proceeded to kill and cut up his capture, and was on the point of making off with his booty, when he found himself in turn the spoil of the law, and was quickly marched off to the police st^^on, where he gave his name as Eug^p Lassot. From his ac­ count he made a good living out of his occupation by selling the meat to vari­ ous butchers. For some time, at least, it is to be hoped that the animals at the abattoirs will cease to be sent to an earlier death by the depredations of this latest wolf in sheep's clothing. A Reporter's Abbreviation. In a paper on "Some Humors of Par­ liamentary Reporting'* in Macmillan's is the following: o "There is a well au­ thenticated story current in the report­ er's gallery of a strange freak Of a tele­ graph clerk in the transmission of the report of a parliamentary speech by Mr. Foster to a daily paper in Bradford. The subject of the speech Was educa­ tion ; the word 'children' was frequent­ ly used, and for the sake of brevity the clerk substituted 'kids,' trusting that the alteration would be corrected by the operator at the other end of the wire. The message, however, was not only written, but printed just as it was transmitted. Imagine the faces of the right honorable gentleman's constitu­ ents when they read the next morn­ ing: "You know of TWordsworth's pro­ found saying: "The kid is father to the mon,' " • I ' - " • Westerman & Son, HOUSE, SIGN AND CARRIAGE PAINTERS, JHENRT ILLINOIS. ./ -Wa S^re prepared to do all work in oar line on sHort notice and guarantee satisfaction PAPER HANGING A B Prices reasonable an<l done.

It is generally supposed that rat- skins are used in glovemaking, but the skin is too thin and fragile; the thing has been done, once or twice, as in making silk fromjspiders' webs, but more as a curiosity than an article of trade. In an old newspaper we read- Bays the Washington Budget, that "an , -ingenious individual of Liske'ard, Corn­ wall, has for some time past been ex­ hibiting himself in a dress' composed from top to toe of ratskins which ho has been collecting for three years; it consists Of hat, "neckerchief, coat,- waistcoat, trousers, tippet, gaiters and shoes. The number of rats required to complete the suit was 670, and the individual, when thns dressed^ appears exactly like one of the Esquimaux de­ scribed in the travels of Parry and Ross. The tippet, or boa, is composed of the pieces of skin immediately round the tails of the rats, and is a very curi­ ous part of the dress, containing about 600 tails,and those none of the shortest.'* Several thousand ratskins were at one time imported from France, but our manufacturers found them too small and too fine in texture. It la not to be supposed, however, that rata are useless; though they look so clean and sleek, they destroy for us an im­ mense quanitity of offal which would otherwise be very dangerous to health. Yet there are few animals so generally unpopular as the rat The dislike is not reciprocated,1 for whatever man set­ tles there appears, as if by magic, a rat. There were thousands in the camp be­ fore Sebastopol, and a rat hunt in the trenches was one of the few diversions the campaign afforded. DELICATE SPECIES OF SPONGE. Some of the Fnngl Are of Rare Beauty and Fantastic Shapes. Sponges of the common sorts are so> well known tliat people long since ceased to admire their curious and in­ teresting stiaicture. There are soma rare species of sponges, however, says the St. Louis Republic, such as the "glass," "lace" and "tapestry" sponges, that are so exceedingly beautiful that the presence of such a specimen never fails to excite expressions of admira*- „tion. The delicate "Venus flower bas- ket" belongs to the family of glass sponges, and is rightly regarded as a wonder by all who have had the priv­ ilege of owning or viewing them. This curious "flower basket" is found in. the deep sea near the Philippine isln/nfi ̂ , and in no other place in the world in: numbers sufficient to make fishing for them a profitable industry. This spe­ cies of sponges looks like delicate threads of glass woven into a curious, beautiful and intricate pattern, some Specimens being of such exquisite love­ liness that one can scarcely believe that it is simply the skeleton of a va­ riety of sponge. This sponge is com­ posed of an immense aggregation ot minute "spicules," running lengthwise from end to end, with numerous cross bands at right angles. These bands and cross bands are set with numerous five, six, nine and twelve pointed spic­ ules, some of them filled with dozens of holes, which can only be seen with a microscope, because they are so ex­ ceedingly fine. SWORN TWELVE HUNDRED TIMES This Widow Kissed the Bible Dvrimf) Three Whole Days In Court. A woman in Germany the other dayi had to be sworn 1,200 times in a suit In which her deceased husband's estate; was involved. The husband, says the New York! World, had been a lumber dealer, and' ktUiring his long business career a cer­ tain cabinet maker had kept a run­ ning account with him. Their business relations were so complicated at" thai time of the merchant's death that therei was a difference of opinion between thri executors and the cabinet maker as ta| the amount the latter owed the estate* The matter was brought into the* courts, and at the trial the reading of] the defendant's affidavit consumed 131 hours. Then the widow was cited be-< fore the magistrates, and during hefl testimony, so a foreign paper says, waa obliged to make oath 1,200 times, oncai for each of the 1,200 litigious points involved in the suit. ; ;. This took three whole sittings of the tribunal, but she won the suit. Treasure Found In a Cave. About 40 years ago a wagon traiif loaded with valuable goods and about; $80,000 in gold and silver coin, en routei ^ fromH^e City of Mexico to the United! States, was attacked near Rincon, Mex^. by a band of brigands and all the mem­ bers of the wagon train were killed andi the booty seized, says a correspondent! in the St Louis Globe-Democrat. The robbers' were overtaken a few daysfr: later by a detachment of soldiers and all were killed. The money and storey had been secreted by the outlaws and| could not be found. The other day! Rafael Yillegas was prospecting for- mineral ten miles south of Rincon, when he came upon the entrance to a cave. He explored the cave and found several sacks filled with the money! taken by the exterminated band o£ robbers. - Useful Machines. _i_, ' Two of the most interesting automo-. tons now working Within the limits of, the United States are those used by tha government for counting and tying- postal cards into small bundles, Thesa machines are capable of counting 500,- .4 000 cards in ten hours and wrapping] and tying the same in packages of 23! each.
