Ski running, a onadlnaTian sport, is becoming popu kr in Minnesota. The performer down hill on iodjt wouuen or foot toboggans, ana at a pre pared jolt makes a leap into space. Ninety-five feet is the longest ski jump en record in Norway. Ninety-fire feet seems an immense leap, but it has been to far surpassed in the Sierras that no Easterner need ewer try tor the championship. The ckanpkNi ski runner and lcaper of the world was John A. Thompson better kaowa as Enow-shoo Thompson" who died in Alpine County, Cat, bout thirteen years ago. Thoapson was tjprn at Upper Tins, Frettljeld, Norway, April 30, 1827, ad died at his home in the Sierras May 16, 187ft Ho was tho father of the whole race of snow-shoe runners f the mountain counties of California. He made the first pair of Norwegian enow-shoes ever seen on the Pacific coast. Thompson's greatest leap was made am the side of a steep mountain just west of the town of Genoa, Douglas County. Darting down the side of the ateep mountain he made a leap of one hundred and eighty fcot. This leap is vouched for by W. l Merrill, postmaster at Woodford, in tho high Sierras, and by several citizens of Genoa. Tho leap was made from a terrace half way down the side of the Mountain, and the lcaper landed in a drift of snow over fifty feet in depth, where for a time he was buried out of Sight. C P. Ciregory (now deccabot), who was for some years neighbor to Snow ahoe Thompson in the mountains, aid, in spciiking of the feats of the great ski-Ieaper: "I did not see him snake his great jump off the side of the mountain back of Genoa, but I have often seen him make leaps of ifty and sixty feet at Silver Mountain, Alpine County." The people of Silver Mountain min ing camp are wont to amuse them selves in whiter by descending a big Mountain near tho town and then darting down to a valley below on their snow-shoes. They had a starting point only about half way up the side wf the mountain. Snow-shoo Thomp son sometimes joined these partios of ski runners. He was not satisfied with a run down half a mountain he wanted it all He would circle around till he had reached the highest ponk of tho big mountain. Ho would thon utter tho wild war cry Of tho old Northmen, and then with his balance polo poised horizontally before him in both hands, would como flyingdown tho side of the mountain like a liend of the wind. When he came near to tho crowd of townspeople standing midway down the mountain, Thompson would stoop almost to the ground, then suddenly springing up, would go sailing through the air high above the men and women watching tho descent. At times ho would make, several leaps, each of from fifty to eighty feet in a einglo descent. His sky leaping was not a littlo like "sky Hying." Snow-sboo Thompson vjs a very sinewy and powerful man. He stood six feet in his stocking?, and weighed one hundred and eighty pounds. He had the blondo hair and beard and the blue eyes of his Scandnavian ancestors, the old sea-roving Northmen.

HI., will bo one hundred and five years old thirty years from next Fourth of Jul. He is stilt hale and hearty; and ho sat cheerfully on a fence a, few days ago while his wifo chopped cord of wood. Old Jasper after ward said that he felt no fatigue what ever. One of tho most prominont cases of old age in the country is that of Deacon Ananias Whopper, of Macon, Ga. The deacon claims to be one hundred and twelve years of age. and ho is so well preserved that he does not look a day over sixty. The deacon is also noted at a liar. Deacon Fhlneas R. Shinbone, known aa the Sago of Green peas County, Mast, died last week at tho ripe age Of one hundred and thirty-seven years. Tho deacon was strong and healthy up to the hour of his death, which was oausedbya buzz-saw. Mr. Shinbone did not vote for all tho Presidents of the United States, and he never saw Washington; this is whero howns par ticularly remarkable. Pomp" Cadwallador, an old negro In Tennessee is probably the oldest man in America. Ho says he guesses he is 'most free hundred.' While he does not look so old as that, he must be at least fifty-eight Ho was a body-eervaotto General Washington. Elder Bobea Snagg, of Salt Lake City, is- ono hundred and twenty-one years of age. Ho attributes his re markable health and advanced age to the incessant use of whisky and to bacco. He is a very powerful man, and recently dug a well with his own hands. Why ho did not use a shovel ia not stated. fter. Samuel Cotton (colored), pas tor of the Bethel M. E. Church. Rome. Gftv, is said to bo ono hundred and thirty roars old.

Few of us are there who fail to rec ognize the power for good or evil that resides in tone. There is the tone of authority that insures obedience; there is the tone of anger which exasperates; there are tho querulous, the insinuat ing, the expostulating, the supplica tory tones. There is the tone of happy childhood, clear, kweet, careless; the tone of neglected childhood, so moving, so pitiful. There is nothing when one is under a high state of excitement so difficult to control as the voice, and probably thero is no ono indicator of character so accurate and trustworthy as the voice. In the prevailing tones of the voice in conversation a discriminating listener can readily detect the various qualities of the mind and heart which goto make up the character of the speaker; and this is to a large extent true whether he speaks in a language intelligible to the hearer or ia one un known to him. Culture shows itself in the tones of the voice almost as exactly as in the language articulated, or j in the expression of the face. Decision, indecision, dissimulation, habitual goodnature, merriment, melancholy, ill-temper all leave their record as in effaceably in the tones of the voice aa they do on the lineaments of the face. The cultivation of one's voice thus resolves itself into the cultivation of one's character. Where the voice is habitually soft, clear, sweet, uniform, the character will be found to cor respond with it Where the voice is full of dissonance, harshness, cold ness, negativeness, the character will be found to correspond with it The vocal organs are exceedingly mobile and sensitive, or they could not so exactly reproduce In tone the con dition of one's mind and the form of one's character. Being thus mobile, they are capable of indefinite cultiva tion in the richness, variety, depth and modulation of the tones they pro duce; but no amouat of cultivation will impart to the voice those peculiar tones and qualities which indicate sweetness of temper, charitableness of disposition or refinement of taste. These traits must bo in the character or they will not appear permanently and habitually in the voice. The mother who can repress in her self and in her children irritable, angry and impatient tones does much to insure harmony and peace within the circle of which she is the center. There are those whose voices bring gladness, light, cheer, wherever they penetrate, for they give assurance of balmy presence, genial sympathy, in fectious merriment. Benefactors in deed are the owners of these voices, and their memories are precious to the hearts of all who listen to the melody of their utterances. N. Y. Advocate. Hatching Crows for Bounty. An ingenious agricultural person who lives not vory from Boston has hit upon a new and decidedly profitable in dustry. There has recently arisen a demand for crows' heads, hitherto deemed valueless, and it is his purpose to supply it. Ten cents apiece the county authorities have offered for the crania of these interesting birds from whose destructive propensities the farmors' crops havo been suffering ser iously of late years. Under ordinary circumstances this bounty would not leave a very large margin of profit for the recipient It costs something, you see, to kill a crow. There is the am munition, in the first place, which is expensive, and one can not count upon slaying even a single inky-feathered fowl for each charge of shot and pow der. Besides, the sportmaa's time must be reckoned in the acoouat But the enterprising speculator above re ferred to has devised a scheme by which a maximum percentage ef gala is to be secured without any risk worth speaking of. He has set up a chicken incubator of the most approved pattern, in which is placed as fast as laid the product of about one hundred hen crows that have been trapped aad confined, in company with perhaps a dozen cock crows. Within (fifteen days the little creatures are hatched. and a fortnight later they are ready to be decapitated. For be it under stood that the head of a crow chick is worth just as much as that of aa adult of the species. At the uniform rate of ten for a dollar, dead, they pay the prodncer.--Albaay (N. T.)

Then it was that Nichols & Shepard, of Battle Cretk,lfich.,inventedandbcgan to develop an entirely new and novel style of Grain Thresher and Separatorwhich they very appro priately named the "Vibrator." It was a revolution in Thresh ing Machines, and from a small beginning of five machines in 1858 they soon reached a pro duct of 1,000 yearly. Their Vibratordrovethe"End less Apron" machine out of mar ket, and all other makers copied it as closely as they dared. To day all Threshing Machines of any reputation or merit use the principles of the old Vibrator. Nichols ft Shepard have con tinued in the business without change of name, location, or management; - and during, the past three years have brought out and developed another new Threshing Machine for grain and seeds, 'as superior to all existing machines as (heir former wasto theEndlessApron.' They name this new and improved Thresher and predict as great a revolution in the trade, and as complete success over all rivals as they had thirty-one years ago.
