ALASKAN MOCSS.

Broegr.t ts This Country With Much Difficulty end Crokcn to Harness. Two Alaskan moose, bq'leved to lio tlie ttrst ever bi jiight to this country, were owned by A. E. (Happy Jack) *;arr of Spokane, who trained them to sotk In single and double harness He bought the t'.v'.-is for $i.'30 and a stock of provisions u^. e In tlie Northland sixteen months ego and valued them at $2,01)0, fi~» chich amount

they were Insured.

That Carr succecdrtf In bringing the moose to this country alive was by the rarest stroke of good fortune, an Indomitable will and an unccasii.. •Igilance that lasted week*. Back tf It Is a story of hardship? and danger that rivals the adventure of Buffalo Joues when tnut eelebratod Klondike character attempted to add to the eol

leetlon of wild beasts.

Carr was more fortunate than ht» gun fighting predecessor, Inasmuch as ho succeeded In escaping the country without the wrath of the Indians hav. Ing been visited upon him for <arrying off these animals, which are held sacred. However, It cost him days of pain and hunger, nights of ceaseless watchfulness and long tramps through the snow and blinding stormi

besides a deal of money.

The moose were caught on a small deserted Island In the North by a band of Slavonians who were searching for food, following an Influx of their countrymen, shipped Into the country to work In the mlr.es. Although driven almost to a point of desperation through want of food the game seekers realised the Importance of U.eir catch and carried the young moose with them until they were met by Carr, who paid $200 In gold and a | ouantlty of food for his purchase.— Spokane correspondence SL Paul

Manuscript of Thirteenxh Century. While reading a French book of the sixteenth century in the university library, St. Andrews, the German lecturer, Dr. Schaaffs, noticed some fragments of an old French poem which the binder had pasted on back and covers of the book. After loosening them he removed the glue and out of the four pieces obtained composed two larger pieces, parts of two leaves of a manuscript written In a beautiful and clear type In two columns of thirty-nine lines each, 144 In all, with red and blue Initials. The names occurring in the text leave no doubt that the fragments contain parts of the old French chanson "I,e Roman de Girard de Viane,” and from the language and script It appears that the mam script wn« written between 1250 and 1300.— London Globe.

Fox Steals Fowl From Kennels. Foxes seem to be unusually plentiful in the Blackmore Yale this year and several instances of their remarkable boldness have occuried of late. A few days ago Reynard had the hardihood actually to pay a visit to the hurt kennels at Charlton Korethorne, a village In a sheltered valley In broad daylight between the Sherborne and Wlncanton. and carry off a much prized cock belonging io the huntsman. Apparently the marauder had been lying up in a hedgerow close io the poultry yard, and his tracks were easily traced t the muddy bine bv which he safely beat his retreat with his cxipture.—London Standard.

Entomologists Advise Cutting Out Brood Trees to End an Infesta-

tion of this Insect.

By the simple method of using ‘'spike-topped,’' lightning-struck, at d gnarly branched mature trees for firewood or other domestic purposes, the entomologists of the department believe that the damage done by the Zimmerman pine moth, especially to yellow pine in the west and white, rad and various other pines In the east, can be greatly minimized. The caterpillar of this moth is the cause of extensive boring under the bark of pint, trees, which results in pyteh deposits in the wood, making the lumber too pitchy for commercial use, besides killiug portions of the trees. This moth is about one-half inch long and light to reddlah gray color. Its wing expanse is from I 14 to 1 12 inches, and the fore w <ngs are shaded i eddish and marked by W-shaped vines. The hind wings are pale yellowish w hite. It is the parent of caterpillars which, when fully grown are about three-fourths inch in length, with a chestnut-brown head, hlaek jaws, naked body, and a series of dots, darker than the skin, each surmounted by a bristle. The caterpillar ranges in color from dirty white, through reddish yellow, to vivid green, according to the kind of tree on which it is feeding. This caterpillar in turn changes lo a chrysalis about three-fourths inch long and light brown in color, which latter changes to blackish brown. The caterpillar weaves its cocoon only io the tunnel of its operations, aud the moth leaves it there upon emergence. The moths fly and lay Dulr eggs in batches, mostly during July, and hibernate in the form of caterpillars, hence the necessity to burn infested trees before spring. Tne chrysalis ia formed in the spring r.nd die moths is-

aue shortly thereafter.

The moth as a rale attacks matuie trees from 10 to 30 feet from the top down and second growth trees from about breast-high up to 30 to 40 foe!.. j The presence of larvae which bore into the hark is indicated by drops of pitch oozing out of the tunnels, and the young larvae shows its presence in infested tree's by the mixture of hark dust and coarse castings thrown out of the holes in the bark. As a general rule, trees that below the spike show branches with yellow needles are almost certain to he infested Such trees, as well as lightning-struck trees which jemain green, and those show ing knobby growth on branches are likely to harbor great numbers of the insects— to be the brood trees—and should be tut out and burned or used for firewood before spting; otherwise the moths resulting from the caterpillars in these brood trees will attack the s-Jcond growth, and when a tree Is badly attacked the pest may kill big portions of it besides making the lumber pitchy and unsuitable for anything where shrinkage is objectionable. if the brood trees are cut out, woodpeckers, esjeeially the hairy woodpecker, will probably attend to the hier-er Infestation in the young trees, as this bird lias been observed to feed heavily

on this caterpillar.

This remedy is particularly strongly recommended for wood lots, as a number of experiments have shown that by using the right trees for firewood the damage is either greatly minimized or absolutely controlled. In one wood lot east of Missoula, Mont., covering 40 acres, 25 per cent of the second growth ! nad been Infested i ach year for sevor- | al seasons. The cutting and use for ! firewood of only three over matur?. trees standing on that farm, hut tho cutting out of one with an infested spike top and two that were full of knobby branches the three suspected of being the brood trees relieved the

infestation.

In another locality the entoniolosi. ‘s found r 3,000 second growth tree.! infested each year, and a survey ot ibis growth indicated that the cutting out of not \iore than 24 brood trees m r. stand of 1,000 of the same ago would

Clearing Up Waste Land.

I Lave been very successful in dealing land with a mechanical stu: ip puller. My equipment was delayed in shipment so 1 did not get as inucn done as 1 expec ted last year, hut did succeed in clearing five acres early in May, Gen I ' vr ‘ t, s G. A. Tenant in Farm aud

’ i Home.

The stumps were hickory, black oak aid white elm. The trees wore cut about ten years ago and the stumps were from 4 to b inches in diameter. Sprouts had cole up forming a eluitei about each, some of these from two to four Inches through and the roots of this second growth formed a big cluster about e ach stump. Those were pulle-i without diCicu't/ •Per cutting a few roots. We pulled elm stumps 10 inchts through in 30 minutes and could have done U much quicker and without cutting any of the roots bad we not made the mistake of purchasing tqo small u inacjiine. I would not attempt to clear land without a puller. Digging is too slow and dynamite too dangerous for me, but 1 would buy a larger machine

next time.

My land was practically valueless before clearing, as the brush was so thick that It was not much good for pasture. We raised a good corn crop on It last year and It is worth $80 to $90 an acre.

It Is eatimated that the average torn hinder is In use not more than four daya of each year, lasts about 11 years, and costs Its owner 84 cents for every sere it covers.

INVENTIONS AS BOOMERANGS. Fatality Hn« Bogged Men Who Designed Instruments of Torture. The lot of the average inventor usually is not a happy one. end most of his troubles are peculiar to the sphere of usefulness which he o-cu-ples. Comparatively few inventions are perfected before the Inventor has been subjected to a long series of disappointments Incident to the unsuccessful experiments, difficulties In raising necessary funds, and the cold shoulder which the world turn* to the man who employs all his tlrrn In attempts to make a seemingly wild dream come true. But even after the last experiment has demonstrated tho fart that tho long days and n'tTita spent In tho laboratory have ;<ol been spent In vain, the Inventor often finds that fame and fortune have no mind to lift the latch of his goo/. One man may rob him of his title a» Inventor: another may filch from him the monetary reward of his Ip hors. Then, too. Death sometimes h*s Intervened and the reward has taken the form of empty honors for the dead. Deaths of Inventors as a result of dangerous experiments have been of frequent occurrence, but It Is not generally known that a remarkable species of fatality has dogged the steps of men who have devised Instruments to bo used to torture or kill their fellow men. Following Is a ’ist of Inventors who were punished by their own Inventions. Bastlle—Hugues Aubrlot, Provost of Paris, who rebuilt and Improved the Bastlle. was himself confined therein. The charge against hint was heresy. Brazen Bull—Perlllos, who Invented the Brazen Bull for Phalarls, Tyrant of Agrlgentum, was the first person baked to death In tho horrible monster. Hainan, ton of Hammedatha, the Amaleklte, of the race of Agag, devised a gallows fifty cubits high, on which to hang Mordecal, by way of commencing the extirpation of the Jews: hut the favorite of Ahaauerns was himself banged on bis gigantic gallows. In modern history we have a repetition of this Incident In the case of Knguerrnnd de Marlgnl, Minister of Finance to Philip the Fair, who was hung on the gibbet which he had erected at Montfaucon for the execution of certain felons; and f^ur of his successors In office underwent the same fate. Matthew Hopkins, the witch finder» was Ulmrelf tried by his own

tests, and put to death as a wizard. Iron Cage—The Bishop of Verdun, who invented the Iron Cages, too small to let the person confined In them to stand upright or He at full length, was the first to be shut up in one; and Cardinal La Balue, who recommended then* to Lou’.j XI, was himself confined In one for U-n years. Don Shroud—Ludovico Sforza. who invented the Iron Shroud, w.ii the first to suffer death by this horrible torture, Malden The Regent Morton of Scotland, who Invented the maiden, a sort of guillotine, was the first to h.- l) headed thereby. This was In the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Otraelsni—Cllsi hems Introduced the custom of ostracism, and was the first to bo banished thereby. The Perrlere was an Instrument for throwing stones of three thousand pounds In weight; and the Inventor fell a victim to his own Invention by the accidental dlschar^a of a Perrlere against a wall. Porta a Faenza—Filippo Rtrozzl eounsr h d the Duke Alessandro do’ Medici to construct the Porta n F'aenza to tnllmadate the Florentines, and here he was himself murdered. L’troplus 1 nd u red the Emperor Arcsdlus to abolish the benefit of sanctuary; but a few days afterward he committed some offense and fled for safety to ths nearest church. Bt. Chrysostom told him he had fallen Into his own net, and he was put to death. A Celestial Lamp. It was little Edgar's first glimpse of a real full moon. Bp to that time his astronomical observations had beea confined to furtive peeps at the luminary as he prepared for early sleeping. This particular evening he and hts mother had been out visiting and were delayed In getting home As they left the street cai, the little chap caught sight of the moon over the Pallsadts. It was one of those nights that poets like to write about. There was not a cloud In the sky and the ttreets were almost as llgct as day. Edgar took one look and (topped In surprise and admiration. "Oh, see, ms,’’ he cried, "CoJ has washed His lamp.”
