Northerners Get
More Clover Seed
Clover seed was a good yield
north of the village this fall but
very poor or Lilmost a failure
south of the village. The line
drawn between these two extremes is the east and west
road through upper town, or
the line between the towns of
of Bull and Granite on the north
and Pierz and Agram on the
south. This difference was no
doubt due to atmospheric or
other conditions; unless—which
is hardly probable, these northerners are favored children of
Providence.
P. L. Poster traded his
building in upper town, the
old shoemaker shop, for 160
acres of land in west Buh,
owned by Geo. M. Hoffmann.

It Resembles a Chess Knight Tailed
With a Coiled Worm.
The interesting little, fish known
as the sea horse or hippocampus,
which has attracted much attention
on account of its curious form and
no less peculiar habits from time
immemorial, is discussed by Dr.
Charles E. Eastman of the American Museum of Natural History in
one of the Smithsonian reports.
Occurring plentifully in the Mediterranean, the typical species was
well known to the ancients, and, owing to the wide distribution of the
remaining thirty odd species composing the genus, sea horses have
now become familiar objects in most
large aquariums of the world. They
appear to he a weird combination
of a horse's head and a body or tail
of-a caterpillar. It has been said
that if a coiled worm were attached
to the base of a chess knight the
sea horse would be well imitated.
The most frequent position assumed is a state of rest, with the
tail wound around the stem of a
plant or other substance, and the
body carried nearly or quite erect,
but notwithstanding the apparent
rigidity of its cuirass like body
armor, almost every other attitude
consistent with such a form can he
assumed. The body can be thrown
outward or downward at various angles, the tail being wound around a
plant in a double coil. Once in
awhile one eye may roll toward the
observer, while the other may be
passive or look backward or even in
the opposite direction. The little
fish can move its eyes independently
of each other and in entirely different ways. A comical effect is produced by the manner in which these
fishes peer at some objects, reminding one of a very nearsighted person.
Releasing itself from its support,
it can progress slowly, still in a
vertical position, its tail curved inward, its dorsal fin rapidly undulating, reminding one of a screw propeller, and with its pectoral fins vibrating in harmony.
Incased as it is in an almost inflexible coat of mail, progression
cannot be effected by lateral flexion
of the body, as in ordinary fishes,
and with the flexion in a vertical
direction progress is limited.
With such limited powers of progression, a nice adjustment of organs is necessary. One method is
said to use an air bladder comparatively large and always distended
bv a quantity of gas so exactly in
harmony with the specific gravity
of the body that this entire body is
a hydrostatic apparatus of extreme
sensibility. A proof of this is that
if a single bubble of gas no larger
than the head of a very small pin
be extracted the fish immediately
loses its equilibrium and sinks to
the bottom, on whicls it must crawl
until the wound has been cicatrized
and a new supply of gas secreted by
the internal membrane of the bladder.
Two Brusque Notes.
When Andrew Millar, the publisher of Dr. Johnson's dictionary,
received the last proof sheet from
Dr. Johnson he wrote him this
brusque note: "Andrew Millar sends
his compliments to Mr. Samuel
Johnson, with the money for the
last sheet of the copy of the dictionary, and thanks God he has done
with him." To this the doctor replied, "Samuel Johnson returns his
compliments to Mr. Andrew Millar
and is very glad to find, as he does
by this note, that Andrew Millar
has the grace to thank God for anything."    	
His Gentle Rebuke.
Fenimore Cooper gave a friend a
copy of his last work, inscribing on
the flyleaf the words:
"To John Blank, with the author's affection and esteem."
A few months later Cooper came
upon this same book at a secondhand dealer's. He bought it in and
sent it back to his friend again
with a second inscription:
"This volume, purchased at a secondhand shop, is re-presented to
John Blank, with renewed affection and reiterated expressions of
esteem."
The Human Clock.
The Spanish painter Eibera, Mr.
Haldane Macfall recalls in his "History of Painting," worked with such
fervor that all count of time was
lost to him. "He made a living
.lock to check the passing hours/
His servant came every hour to the
studio to say in a loud and stately
voice, 'Another hour has gone, Signor Cavaliere!'"
A Word to Be Avoided.
Wife — Well, did you find out
what it was I said that offended
Mrs. Youngbride? Huh—Yes, her
husband told me. It seems that you
remarked, "I see you're installed in
your new home," and as they've furnished on the installment plan she
thought you were trying to be funny
at their expense. — Boston Transcript.
