Seneca, TIFT HI CECIL WHIG, ELZECTOILT •IAUK TAB’S PETS, Lillie Animals Which Caiilurrd Fighting Sallow Fancy, “Where’s Jim?” “On the spar deck, 1 suppose. Iley, Jim, Jim!” A sleek black cat leaped from the top of oue ol the ten-pounders on the United Stales corvette Kearsarge and scampered below in answer to the call of a grizzled old sailor. “Jim” is the ship’s pet. Every raau- ol war has its pet, and for two years a big black cat has filled the place in the affections of the sailors on the Kearsarge, Jim went to South America with the ship. “That cat,” said Captain Horace El- mer before the ship left the dock, “will do more to keep the men contented than anything I can do. The mere tact that Jim, as the men call him, is given per- mission to have the run ol the ship de- lights the men. They have trained him, and during leisure momeuts they watch his antics with pleasure.” The pet on the cruiser York town is a monkey. He is a (risky youngester and an expert climber. He can get to the top of the mainmast in less than twenty seconds if be is feeling hist rate. The monkey has been trained to play tricks on the crew. He has a fanny way of tickling the ear of a sleeping sailor with the end of his tail. If anyone loses a plug of tobacco it can generally be found bidden in the rigging. When the hiding place is discovered the monkey breaks out into a chatter that shows how he ap- preciates the fun. ICE UA V KS OF MOUNT AD A M S ( * One of the Natural Wonders of the New State of Washington. Away up 4000 feet above the Columbia river, at the base of Mount Adams, whose symmetrical cone-like peak is covered with perpetual snow, lies a beautiful little lake surrounded by broad meadows and fed by a stream of purest water, taking its rise in the snow-fields ten or twelve miles away. The caves are within a few miles of Trout Ltke, for so this mountain gem. like hundreds of others in this wonderful country of lakes, is called for the reason that trout- filled basins are so common that the dis- coverer, averse to taxing his brain lor an original name, has seen fit to dub bis find with bis first thought. As yet only six largo caves have btieu discovered, hut as the whole country gives forth a hollow, reverberating sound to the heel-tap of the hobnailed mountain shoe ol the visi- tor, it is highly piubable there are many more. One of these ice caves, the largest oue, is used by the farmers as a cold storage warehouse for butler and milk, and cer- tainly answers the purpose admirably. Tue entrance is like unto a cistern, and the adventurer lowers himself into the chilly atmosphere by means of a rope. The interior of the cave is composed of oue large apartment about eighty foet square. The cave is walled with icu around, above and below, with huge icicles ol stalactite and stalagmite for- mation, obstructing a complete view, as well as forming obstacles to exploration, but affording the most gorgeous pictures in the light of a Homing pitchtorch. The effeot is simply indescribable, but, at the same time, must fascinating, es pecially when seen on a hot August day. The huge pendants of pure, tiansluoeut ice relicot and scintillate the ruddy glow of the torch in a bewildering maze of co- lor and a thousand rays ol light. The air is a clear, dry, culd, even on the hottest day. There is no dampness or moisture; the ice is nut melting, but is bard and culd and dry, as in midwinter. A lew moments in the cave and one’s very blood is chilled, a tact which is as yet, no doubt, the cause ol a thorough exploration ol the cave never having been made. There aie, peihaps, other and adjoining caverns which very pro bably open out Irom the mam apartmifil and form an Icelandic labyrinth. A very fat rattlesnake about four feet long and as lazy as an alligator used to be the pet on the United States survey steamer Blake. The snake was called Wrig, and it spent most ol its time in the engine room. When Jacob Harsen was assistant engineer the snake used to watch his movements with great interest, and frequently it would follow Harseu as he moved from one part of the ship to the other. Wrig got caught in the machinery some time ago and was bruis ed so badly that he died. The body was dropped overboard with mock ceiemouy. Billy, tbe goat, was the pet of the Gi- lena for nearly two years. During that period he never left the ship. When the ship was in port the sailors would take turns getting grass and clover for the goat, and Bey always got a gocdly sup- ply ahead when it was known that the ship would soon sail. Some time ago, through the strategy of certain members of the crew who had been detailed to the Baltimore, Billy was smuggled away from the Galena and to the Baltimore. A pair of white nits have the run of the Monongahela. They have been aboard snip for nearly a year. For some reason the smaller of tbe two rats has stood in wholesome fear of Lieut. Com- mauder Gibsou. Whenever the officer appeared the rat would crouch in a dark corner in terror. Both ol the rats were on very friendly terms with Lieut. Dix Belles. S “Yo#ought to see the rats run a race on theTnain deck,” said an old sailor. “We get them in trim for a race by offer- ing them a small piece of cheese, and then taking a larger piece forward. Two of the boys hold the rats, and at the word go they get under way and go scampering down. The first rat to reach the cheese gets it.” A game cock was the pet of the boys on the Charleston until recently. It was trained to crow every time the ship’s bell struck, and it did it most lustily. The Enterpiise has a black cat aboard. It is the best lighter ot any cat in the service, so the trainer sajs. There is a parrot on the Chicago that can rattle offthe vernacular of the sailor- man without making a break. He shouts “Go b low !” whenever the skv is overcast and the sea heavy. Snatches from Pina fore” have been picked up by tbe bird, and he can sing three lines ol the ‘•Cum- berland’s Crew.” New York Morning Journal. “It. S. V. I*.” I always make it a point,” remarked a manufacturer to a representative of Age oj Steel, “to reply to every communica- tion of a business nature addressed to me. It doesn’t matter what it is about, pro- vided only that it is couched in civil lan- guage. Ido this because courtesy re- quires that I should; but aside from that, I find also that it is good policy. Time and again in my lile I have been remind- ed by newly secured customers that I was remembered through correspondence opened with me years before, and many orders have come to me through this passing and friendly acquaintance with people. On the other hand, I have known plenty of busiuess men whose disrespect- ful treatment of correspondents has been bitterly remembered and repaid with compound interest. Silence is the mean- est and most contemptuous way of treat- ing anybody who wishes to be heard and to hear, and resentment is iA answer every time.” Why He Tired of the Paper. The value of certain kinds of news is well set forth in the following critical hut badly spelled communication: "Dear Sir—I hereby offer my resignation as a subscriber to your paper, it being a pam- phlet ot such small knonsense as not to benefit my family in taken’ it. What you need in your sheet is braines and some one to russel up news and write eddytorial on live topics. No mention has been made in your shete of me butcherin’ a poland cnina pig weighin’ 309 pounds, or of tbe gaps in chickens out this way. Y'oa stengusly ignore the fact that the tater bugs am eatiu’ things up out hero, and say nothin’ ‘but HiSim- poou s durham bull calf breakin’ its legs (ailin’ down a well or of grandma sipes having the sore legs. Two important weddiu’s here been utterly ignored by your column, and a two-kolumn obitoh- uary writ by me on the death of grandpa Henry, was left out entirely by your, shete, to say nothin’ of a alfabetical poem beginning with “A is for Andy and also for Ark” writ by my dartar. This is why your shete is unpopular here. If you don’t want any eddy toryals from this place and ain’t goiu’ to put in any news in your shete we don’t want said shete. Yourn in disgust, Hi ham Doaks. P. S. —If you print that obitchuary in year next isoo I may sign again for your shete.— National Editorial Journalist, Looking tor tbe Strings. Smart gill. “Mr. Nicefellow, this is m> little sister, Miss Ella. What do you wish, pet? Why are you regarding the gentleman so intently ?” Little sister ; “1 was looking lor the string—that’s all.” “Siring? Whatstriug?” “Why, mamma said you always had two strings to your baau.” Looked Like a Judgment. Residents in a certain seaport town of Lincoln county remember a circumstance connected with the erection of its oldest church. There is a deal of superstition as native to these ledges as the ill smell ing roekweed. The townspeople were very poor when the old church was built. The actual amount of money given to- ward it was very small indeed. Hardly a person in town but contributed some material, however. lu the northern part close by a cove, whose banks were man tied with beautiful moss, after the first few feet of cliff, and crowned with sturdy trees and alright, stalwart pines, lived a man noted for other things than geuer osity. The Soliciting Committee put off asking for his subscription until others bad poured in and the church was a sure thing. Then they waited upon him and said, “Mr. Blank, we want that monster pine of yours for your contribution to the church. It will make an excellent sill; will you give it for your part?” “Give my best pine tree—give any of my pine? No, sir; not one of them shall come down.” Nothing could shake this deter iniuation. In less than a week arose oue of the heaviest storms ever known on that coast. And not one of those proud- est pines in the man’s forest was left; and the tallest pine, the one wanted for a sill, was riven from top to bottom by the thunderbolt. Uoiiiniunioiii With His Trees. True Love by tbe Lake. Mr. Buckingham—Doesn’t Miss State- street love Mr. Lakeside? Miss PaUuerhouse—Yes—devotedly. Mr. Buckingham—Then why does she insist upon such a long engagement? Miss Palmerhouse—She wants to post pone her divorce as long as possible. “Now peaches?” he asked as his eyes rested on five or six bushels of the lus- cious fruit. “Yes.” “How much?” “Four dollars a bushel.” “That’s for canning?” “Yes.” “Will they be any higher ?” "Most certainly. Probably go to 87 inside of two weeks.” “Tbeo I’ll wait and get a bushel to start a museum ou. Try and boost ’em to 810 if you can.” Rev. Dr. Henry M. Field, in the Evan- gelist, writes pleasantly about the tree* which he planted 80 years ago on his country place in Stockbridge, Mass.; “Now,” he says, “our positions are re versed; as I have watched over them, they have come to watch over me; after such long care and patience, I am sure they will not forsake me now. In this summer of illness they have been next to the dear household within in the way of companionship. Strong men. who are full of lusty lif •, pushing forward on the world’s highway, know not how sweet a thing it is to have such companions and comforters. We have come into a perfect understanding and silent communion. Those trees know me; they know when I am in a silent mood, and they keep very still, hardly a leaf stirring; and when they begin to move, it is very gently, as if it were only to fan away the care that sits upon the troubled brow. Am I weary and downcast, oue glance upward gives a new turn to my thoughts as tbe waving tree tops catch the burden from tbe spirit and toss it into vacancy, where it is seen and felt no more.” Friends of Cecil County I II it be a pity to sutler with aches, pains, debility and weakness, caused by livercomplaint,dyspep- sia, ague and lever, try Broom Herb Bittkrs, a purely vegetable medicine that speedily cured Frank Price, ol Uecllton, Catherine Holland, ol Fair Hill, Miss Peterson, ol Newark, Mrs.Tubbs, Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Maxwell, ol Wilmington, Del., besides many others who sutlered lor years.

•IAUK TAB’S PETS,

Lillie Animals Which Caiilurrd FightingSallow Fancy,

“Where’s Jim?”“On the spar deck, 1 suppose. Iley,

Jim, Jim!”A sleek black cat leaped from the top

of oue ol the ten-pounders on the UnitedStales corvette Kearsarge and scamperedbelow in answer to the call of a grizzledold sailor.

“Jim” is the ship’s pet. Every raau-ol war has its pet, and for two years abig black cat has filled the place in theaffections of the sailors on the Kearsarge,Jim went to South America with theship.

“That cat,” said Captain Horace El-mer before the ship left the dock, “willdo more to keep the men contented thananything Ican do. The mere tact thatJim, as the men call him, is given per-mission to have the run ol the ship de-lights the men. They have trained him,and during leisure momeuts they watchhis antics with pleasure.”

The pet on the cruiser Yorktown is a

monkey. He is a (risky youngester andan expert climber. He can get to thetop of the mainmast in less than twentyseconds if be is feeling hist rate. Themonkey has been trained to play trickson the crew. He has a fanny way oftickling the ear of a sleeping sailor withthe end of his tail. If anyone loses aplug of tobacco it can generally be foundbidden in the rigging. When the hidingplace is discovered the monkey breaksout into a chatter that shows how he ap-preciates the fun.

ICE UA V KS OF MOUNT AD A M S

(*

One of the Natural Wonders of the New

State of Washington.

Away up 4000 feet above the Columbia

river, at the base of Mount Adams,whose symmetrical cone-like peak is

covered with perpetual snow, lies a

beautiful little lake surrounded by broadmeadows and fed by a stream of purest

water, taking its rise in the snow-fieldsten or twelve miles away. The caves

are within a few miles of Trout Ltke,for so this mountain gem. like hundreds

of others in this wonderful country oflakes, is called for the reason that trout-

filled basins are so common that the dis-coverer, averse to taxing his brain lor an

original name, has seen fit to dub bis findwith bis first thought. As yet only six

largo caves have btieu discovered, hut asthe whole country gives forth a hollow,reverberating sound to the heel-tap of

the hobnailed mountain shoe ol the visi-

tor, it is highly piubable there are manymore.

One of these ice caves, the largest oue,is used by the farmers as a cold storage

warehouse for butler and milk, and cer-

tainly answers the purpose admirably.Tue entrance is like unto a cistern, and

the adventurer lowers himself into thechilly atmosphere by means of a rope.

The interior of the cave is composed of

oue large apartment about eighty foet

square. The cave is walled with icu

around, above and below, with hugeicicles ol stalactite and stalagmite for-

mation, obstructing a complete view, aswell as forming obstacles to exploration,

but affording the most gorgeous picturesin the light of a Homing pitchtorch.

The effeot is simply indescribable, but,

at the same time, must fascinating, especially when seen on a hot August day.The huge pendants of pure, tiansluoeutice relicot and scintillate the ruddy glowof the torch in a bewildering maze of co-lor and a thousand rays ol light.

The air is a clear, dry, culd, even onthe hottest day. There is no dampnessor moisture; the ice is nut melting, but

is bard and culd and dry, as in midwinter.

A lew moments in the cave and one’svery blood is chilled, a tact which is asyet, no doubt, the cause ol a thoroughexploration ol the cave never having

been made. There aie, peihaps, other

and adjoining caverns which very probably open out Irom the mam apartmifiland form an Icelandic labyrinth.

A very fat rattlesnake about four feetlong and as lazy as an alligator used tobe the pet on the United States surveysteamer Blake. The snake was calledWrig, and it spent most ol its time inthe engine room. When Jacob Harsenwas assistant engineer the snake used towatch his movements with great interest,and frequently it would follow Harseu as

he moved from one part of the ship tothe other. Wrig got caught in themachinery some time ago and was bruised so badly that he died. The body wasdropped overboard with mock ceiemouy.

Billy, tbe goat, was the pet of the Gi-lena for nearly two years. During thatperiod he never left the ship. When theship was in port the sailors would taketurns getting grass and clover for thegoat, and Bey always got a gocdly sup-ply ahead when it was known that theship would soon sail. Some time ago,through the strategy of certain membersof the crew who had been detailed to theBaltimore, Billy was smuggled awayfrom the Galena and to the Baltimore.

A pair of white nits have the run ofthe Monongahela. They have beenaboard snip for nearly a year. For somereason the smaller of tbe two rats hasstood in wholesome fear of Lieut. Com-mauder Gibsou. Whenever the officerappeared the rat would crouch in a darkcorner in terror. Both ol the rats wereon very friendly terms with Lieut. DixBelles. S

“Yo#ought to see the rats run a raceon theTnain deck,” said an old sailor.“We get them in trim for a race by offer-ing them a small piece of cheese, and thentaking a larger piece forward. Two ofthe boys hold the rats, and at the wordgo they get under way and go scamperingdown. The first rat to reach the cheesegets it.”

A game cock was the pet of the boyson the Charleston until recently. It wastrained to crow every time the ship’sbell struck, and it did it most lustily.

The Enterpiise has a black cat aboard.It is the best lighter ot any cat in theservice, so the trainer sajs.

There is a parrot on the Chicago thatcan rattle offthe vernacular of the sailor-man without making a break. He shouts“Go b low !” whenever the skv is overcastand the sea heavy. Snatches from ’ Pinafore” have been picked up by tbe bird,and he can sing three lines ol the ‘•Cum-

berland’s Crew.” — New York MorningJournal.

“It. S. V. I*.”

“ I always make it a point,” remarkeda manufacturer to a representative of Ageoj Steel, “toreply to every communica-tion of a business nature addressed to me.It doesn’t matter what it is about, pro-vided only that it is couched in civil lan-

guage. Ido this because courtesy re-quires that I should; but aside from that,

I find also that it is good policy. Timeand again in my lile I have been remind-ed by newly secured customers that I

was remembered through correspondenceopened with me years before, and manyorders have come to me through thispassing and friendly acquaintance withpeople. On the other hand, I have known

plenty of busiuess men whose disrespect-ful treatment of correspondents has beenbitterly remembered and repaid withcompound interest. Silence is the mean-est and most contemptuous way of treat-ing anybody who wishes to be heard andto hear, and resentment is iA answerevery time.”

Looking tor tbe Strings.Smart gill. “Mr. Nicefellow, this is

m> little sister, Miss Ella. What do you

wish, pet? Why are you regarding thegentleman so intently ?” Little sister ;

“1 was looking lor the string—that’s all.”

“Siring? Whatstriug?” “Why, mammasaid you always had two strings to your

Looked Like a Judgment.

Residents in a certain seaport town ofLincoln county remember a circumstanceconnected with the erection of its oldestchurch. There is a deal of superstition

as native to these ledges as the ill smelling roekweed. The townspeople werevery poor when the old church was built.The actual amount of money given to-ward it was very small indeed. Hardlya person in town but contributed somematerial, however. lu the northern partclose by a cove, whose banks were man

tied with beautiful moss, after the firstfew feet of cliff, and crowned with sturdytrees and alright, stalwart pines, lived aman noted for other things than geuerosity. The Soliciting Committee put offasking for his subscription until othersbad poured in and the church was a surething. Then they waited upon him andsaid, “Mr. Blank, we want that monsterpine of yours for your contribution to thechurch. It will make an excellent sill;will you give it for your part?” “Givemy best pine tree—give any of my pine?No, sir; not one of them shall comedown.” Nothing could shake this deteriniuation. In less than a week arose oueof the heaviest storms ever known onthat coast. And not one of those proud-est pines in the man’s forest was left;and the tallest pine, the one wanted fora sill, was riven from top to bottom bythe thunderbolt.

Uoiiiniunioiii With His Trees.True Love by tbe Lake.

Mr. Buckingham—Doesn’t Miss State-street love Mr. Lakeside?

Miss PaUuerhouse—Yes—devotedly.Mr. Buckingham—Then why does she

insist upon such a long engagement?Miss Palmerhouse—She wants to post

pone her divorce as long as possible.

“Now peaches?” he asked as his eyes

rested on five or six bushels of the lus-cious fruit.

“Yes.”“How much?”

“Four dollars a bushel.”“That’s for canning?”“Yes.”“Will they be any higher ?”

"Most certainly. Probably go to 87inside of two weeks.”

“Tbeo I’ll wait and get a bushel tostart a museum ou. Try and boost ’emto 810 if you can.”

Rev. Dr. Henry M. Field, in the Evan-gelist, writes pleasantly about the tree*which he planted 80 years ago on hiscountry place in Stockbridge, Mass.;“Now,” he says, “our positions are reversed; as I have watched over them,they have come to watch over me; aftersuch long care and patience, I am surethey will not forsake me now. In thissummer of illness they have been next to

the dear household within in the way of

companionship. Strong men. who arefull of lusty lif •, pushing forward on theworld’s highway, know not how sweet athing it is to have such companions andcomforters. We have come into a perfectunderstanding and silent communion.Those trees know me; they know when Iam in a silent mood, and they keep verystill, hardly a leaf stirring; and whenthey begin to move, it is very gently, asif it were only to fan away the care thatsits upon the troubled brow. Am Iweary and downcast, oue glance upwardgives a new turn to my thoughts as tbewaving tree tops catch the burden fromtbe spirit and toss it into vacancy, whereit is seen and felt no more.”
