DESTROYS BEER VATS
Lastrup Man Said to Have   Damaged Small Brewing Plant
at Lastrup.
Whether because he had dislike for the plaintiff or whether
he was an over-enthusiatic op-
tionist, Jos. Brummer of Lastrup was arrafnged before Justice Gerritz Saturday on the
complaint of Alex Steger. It is
alleged by the plaintiff that the
defendant had destroyed property for which suit was brought
to recover $40.50. It appeared
that Steger has a sort of a
brewery in Lastrup and has \
some vats and other recepta- j
cles built into the building in:
which the liquid is manufact- j
ured. Steger claimed that
Brummer destroyed the vats
just before the owner commenced making a quantity of
thirst quencher.
Steger claimed to have seen
the defendant leave the building after hearing a noise which
meant the destruction of his
vats and a girl testified that she
saw Brummer in the act of demolishing the vats.
Justice Gerritz gave Steger a
judgment for $49.50 with 25 ct*.
interest and the costs amounting in all to $66.44.
The case may be appealed by
the defendant.—Transcript.

A WHALE IN A HURRY.
The Truthful Mariner Toils How Fast
the Big Fellow Went.
"Sometimes you ean put tin iron into
a whale and he won't splash on the
surface, but will start off like a rocket
or perhaps will go right down and you
have to cut loose and lose your line
and irons," said the truthful old mariner.
"We were- lying becalmed one day off
the Cape of Good Hope. By and by
we saw two or three whales coming
up to blow about two miles away.
"The captain called the watch up.
and a couple of boats started for the
whales, whicli were lying still, as if
gunning themselves. We raced with
the other boat and got ahead, for my
men were lithe and tough, and by and
by we got alongside of one of the big
fellows. The steering oar was pulled
in, the oars were packed—that is, piled
in so that they couldn't strike the
water—then an iron was thrown into
the floating island.
-The whale lay still for a moment,
us if struck with amazement that any
one should dare to touch him. Suddenly he n.-uio up his mind what to do.
lie started off like a locomotive, the
rope wl_i.-7.in;*- around lu a way to astonish a landlubber. When the rope
was out we were rushing by the cap-
ttiin's boat like mad.
"All we could do in that double ended boat was to ..it still and see her go
through the water. 1 candidly believe
that we went at the rate of a mile a
minute, aiid the water was a very
wonderful tight. It reminds me, now
that I think of it, of Toe's description
of the Interior of the maelstrom,
where the water went round so fast
and wax so black that it must have
seemed like a wall of polished ebony.
"The pressure downward piled the
water tip oa both sides of us so that
It seemed to be ut least three feet
higher than the edge of Ihe boat, but
It couldn't run in, for we were going
so fast it hadn't time.
"Every one's eyes were blurred with
the wind, winch seemed to be blowing
a hurricane against us. It looked as if
the whale would never get tired out,
and we were going to sea at an amazing rate. The ship went away as if by
magic, and we had lost sight of the
other boat. Finally the line all at once
slackened.
"The whale hadn't stopped aud. for
all I know, is going ahead at the rate
of a mile a minute still, hut tHe iron
had come out.
"We rowed back to the ship, and as
we came along the captain called over
the rail:
" 'Where's the whale?'.
" 'Oh.' said I, 'the iron melted out, he
went so fast.'
" 'Just what I thought,' said the captain, aud that night we all had plum
duff and grog."—Chicago Inter Ocean.
GENEROUS  GEORGE.
Washington'3 Tips and Compliments to
Patty and Polly.
Those who take tipping in the somewhat solemn spirit of the social investigator may find their minds enlivened
by the perusal of an excerpt from the
writings of our flrst president, which
shows what a graceful turn appreciation and courtesy may give to the custom.
In 1789. on his return from his New
England progress. Washington lodged
at Taft's inn. at Uxbridge, Mass..
where the domestic service—as at
many inns In the country—was performed by the landlord's daughters.
Somewhat later Washington wrote to
Mr. Taft:
Hartford. 8 November, 17S9.
Sir—Being informed that you have given
my name to one of your sons and called
another after Mrs. Washington's family,
and being, moreover, very much pleased
with the modest and Innocent looks of
your two daughters, Patty and Polly, I
do for these reasons send each of these
girls a piece of chintz, and to Patty, who
bears the name of Mrs. Washington and
who waited upon us more than Polly did,
I send 5 guineas, with which she may
buy herself any little ornaments she may
want, or she may dispose of them in any
other manner more agreeable to herself.
As I do not give these things with a
view to have it talked of or even to its
being known, the less there ls said about
it the better you will please me, but that
I mav be sure the chintz and money have
got safe to hand let Patty, who I dare say
la equal to it, write me a line informing
me thereof, directed to "The President of
the United States at New York." I wish
you and your family well and am your
humble servant,       GO. WASHINGTON.
The Shark Is a Slow Swimmer.
One ill service nature has done the
shark—namely, that of placing a triangular fin on his back which acts as a
danger signal and gives warning of his
approach. Happily the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity to
be aware of this peculiarity, for had
he been so he would unquestionably
abandon his habit of swimming close
to the surface of the water aud would
In that case be enabled to approach
his victim unobserved. The shark is a
Blow swimmer for his size and strength.
Byron observes, "As darts the dolphin
from the shark." But Byron was a
poet and does not appear to have been
a close observer of the habits of inhabitants of tho water or he would
have known that a shark would have
no more chance of catching a dolphin
than a sheep would of overhauling a
hare.
MARRIED WEDNESDAY

NOISE  OF  THUNDER.
Sardine Fishing.
In sardine lls-hing there are many
uncertainties. There is a twenty-eight
foot rise and fall of tide in tile bay
of Fundy, and especially constructed
wooden picket inclosures are staked
cut in the water to gather in the tish.
Last season a man erected an luelo-
sure in what he supposed to he i
lent fishing territory, but got nothing.
He deplored his loss and for a time
failed to go near It.   "Why don't you
it    again?"    somebody    a
"What's the use';" he replied.   "Let me
try it." the other persisted.   "Yes. and
you  may   have  all  the  fish  you  get."
The other man pulled out $1,700 worth
at one haul.-Frank I.esli s'st.
The Swedish  Law.
In Sweden  t_se testimony of a child
under sixteen years of age wiil not be
accepted in court
Due  to   Hoating   of   Gase3   Along   thrf
Line of Electric Discharge.
To Froiessor Trowbridge we owe arf
expertment to explain tho noise of
thunder. It has usually been thought
that the noise is caused by the closing up of the vacuum created by tho
passage of lightning, the air rushing
ln from all sides with a clap, but the
ftitenslty of the noise is rather disproportionate, ahd it ls now supposed
that the thunder is due to tho intense
heating of the gases, especially the
gas of water vapor along the line of
the electric discharge, and the consequent conversion of suspended moisture into steam at enormous pressure.
In this way the crackle with which
al of thunder sometime** begins
zaight be regarded as the sound of
steam explosions on a small scale;
caused by inductive discharges b
the main flash. The rumble would be
the over lapping steam explosions, and
the final clap, which soundest loudest,
would be the steam explosion nearest
to the auditor. In the case of rumbling thunder the lightning ls passing
from cloud to cloud. When the flash
passes from the earth to the clouds
the clap is loudest at tiie beginning.
Frofessor Trowbridge gave substance to these suppositions by causing electric flashes to pass from point.
to point through terminals clothed iu
soaked cotton wool, and he succeeded
in magnifying the crack of the electric spark to a terrifying exteut.—London Graphic.
THE  BIG  DIPPER.
It Is the Hour Hand of the Woodman's'
Celestial Clock.
The pole star Is really the most important of the stars ln our sky. It
marks the north at all times. It alone'
ls fixed in the heavens. All the other
stars seem to swing around it onco in
twenty-four hours.
But the pole star of Folaris _b not a
very bright one, and it would be hard
to identify but for the help of the so'
called pointers lu the "Big Dipper," or
"Great Bear." The outer rim of the
dipper points nearly to Folaris at a
distance equal to three times the space
that separates the two stars of the
dipper's outer side. Various Indians
called the pole star the "Home Star"
and the "Star That Never Moves." and
the dipper they call the "Broken Back."
The "Great Bear" is also to be remembered as the pointers for another reason. It ls the hour hand of the woodman's clock. It goes once around the
north star in about twenty-four hours,
the  v- ay   of  the   hands  of  a
watch—that is, it goes the same way
as the sun—and for the same reason-
that it Is the earth that is going ana
