- Small, Maynard & Co., | THE WAYS OF ROOSTERS. ; — Philosopher Asserts They Do Too at Much Crowing. “I’ve heard a good deal in my time Bbout the foolishness of hens, but when it comes to right-down, ‘plum foolishness, give me a rooster, every time. He’s always strutting and stretching and crowing and bragging about things with which he had noth- ing to do. When the sun rises, you’d think that he was making all the light, instead of all the noise; when the farmer’s wife throws the scraps in the henyard, he crows as if he was the provider for the whole farmyard and was asking a blessing on the food; when he meets another rooster, he crows; and when the other rooster licks him, he crows; and so he keeps it up straight through the day. He even wakes up during the night and crows a little on general principles. But when you hear from a hen, she’s laid an egg, and she don’t make a great deal of noise about it, either.” —From “Letters from a_ Self-Made Merchant to His Son,” by George Horace Lorimer.

Those who have seen women who | are expert fencers recognize that it is an extremely graceful amusement. Many ladies are taking fencing les- sons. Strength of leg is necessary, as well as of wrist, and much activity. But it is a most admirable exercise, improving the figure and developing the muscles, and is worthy to be made an art. It is not onty physical strength that is ieguired for this amusement, but keenress of the eye and dexterity of the wrist, and these are quite woman- ly. Quickness cor perccption and ac- tion are necessary. Concerning Jags. It is desu in the ranks of the toil- er for daily bread that the awful blight of the humdrum is most Seenly felt, and here the need of an inteili- gent form of jag is most evident. Dress is forbidden as a luxury be Yond attainment. Alcoholic excess is a curse whose hideous after results are only too well known. Blessed is | the man who shall find or devise a , new and harmless jag that shall come into the tired lives of the masses like a burst of sunshine on a leaden day, dispersirg and haunting shadows of vice jags, and givirg the necessary | relief from grinding monotory with- ; out any demoralizing after effects.— \ A. K. Bond in the Booklovers’ Maga- zine. Her Well Until the Police __, Teok a,Hand. . “Hiiza had a Suacu cs keys, ete.” We do not remember ever to ha read of a more clever plan for divert- ing some of the superfiuous wealth of the world into one reégiecied chan- nel than that of Eliza Holman, who is only 15. Her stock-in-trade, her jimmy, her center bit, appears to have been a bunch of keys. These keys were not designed to fit immediate and obvious use; they were “duffing” keys. Eliza would admit to having found them in the street, outside a public building or schoolhouse. She implied that they might happily belong to some one of the inmates, and while these keys were being tried by unsus- picious principals or headmistresses, Eliza, waitirg patiently in the sanc- tum or office cf the said officials, picked up there what she considered worth her while. The keys were forthwith returned to her and served again another day. There were twenty charges against Eliza.—London Sketch. They Paid A MUCH-MIXED FAMILY, Relationship That Would Puzzle a Philadelphia Lawyer. This is the way a Washington county man figures out his case: “I married a widow who had a daughter. My father visited our house frequent- ly, fell in love with and married my stepdaughter. Thus my father be- came my son-in-law and my _ step- daughter my mother because she was my father’s wife. My stepdaughter had a son, and was, of course, my brother, and at the same time my grandchild, for he was the son of my daughter. My wife was my grand- mother, because she was my mother’s mother. I was my wife’s husband’s grandchild at the same time, and as the husband of a person’s grand- mother is his grandfather, I was my own grandfather.”—Augusta Journal. But He Won't Do It. Johrny’s mother had been anxious to instill into the mind of her youth- ful son the necessity of reading at least a few verses from the Bible each day. She is anxious that her son should have a knowledge cf the Bible as wel’ as other books; in fact, she thinks a reading of the great book the best means of gaining a good understanding of English and history. The little fellow has been ; adding a verse through the Psalms, | Proverbs and these books as he ad- vances in reading. The cther even- ing he was reading in a particularly deliberate style when he came upon the passage, “Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from guile.” “Keep Preacher’s Witty Sermon. The old Bridewell burying ground, which is now the © bject of legislation in the English Parliament, is the rest- ; ing place of Mme. Creswell, so often mentioned by the Charles Il. dramat- ists, who died in Bridewell prison, and left £10 for a sermon to be preached at her funeral, on the condition that nothing shcula be said of her but what was well. The preacher got out of tne difficulty rather neatly by saying: “All that I shall say of her is this: She was born well, she lived well and she died well; for she was born with the name of Creswell, she lived in Clerkenwell and she died in Bride well.” f Engine Has Had Long Service. One of the earliest steam efgines ever built is still the main source of power in some rolling mills in Bir- mingham. It was set up in 1767, and the original wooden beam has lately been replaced by an iron one, after 135 years of continuous service. Aside from this iron beam and a cylinder that was putin new in 1802 the engine is the same as at first, even to the con- necting rod. For its special purpose the old engine has been pronounced more economical than many modern engines, and it is likely to do duty many years more, . Found His Mother's Corpse. Talking about railroad accidents, there was one with a pariicularly sad feature near New York @ day or two ago. A middle-aged woman was run down at a grade crossing and dread- fully injured. A surgeon living near ‘was called, but before he could get to the spot the watchers had placed a rug over the face of the victim. She was dead. The surgeon stepped up and with professional coolness re- moved the rug to see the face. Then he shrieked and fell unconscious be- side the corpse. It was his mother. A Dramatic Reprieve. On the stage it happens that the hero is reprieved at the eleventh hour when on the scaffold, and there are cases recorded in history. Few, how- ever, have been so close to death as Joe Campbell, a negro, who had ‘been condemned to death for murder at Yazoo City, Mo. The negro had the halter about his neck and the trap- door was ready to be sprung open. Campbell then turned to the sheriff and confessed the name of his accom- plice. He was instantly reprieved. Brains of Lunatics. An eminent doctor says a heavy brain is no indication of intellectual eminence. The average weight of the | European brain is from forty-nine to fifty ounces. Yet five out of thirty-one | male lunatics, taken without selection ‘from post-mortem records, had brains ranging from fifty to fifty-six ounces. The ebrains of three female lunatica | out of twenty-two exceeded fifty ‘ounces. It is well known that epilep- | ties usually have large brains, ‘thy—tor gue—from—evil—and—thy lips—from—girls,” he drawled out. Flatiron Pincushion. One of the latest of kitchen utensils to take its place on the dressing table is the flatiron. which has been con- verted into a thing of ornament as well as use. Its use in the bedroom is that of a pincushion, and it is stood face cutward, in the position in which good housewives put away this kitchen bric-a-brac. Of course it is only a flatiron in shape, for it is made of stout cardboard cut the shape of a small flatiron face. This is padded with eotton and covered smoothly with satin. A handle of heavy wire is added and wound with narrow ribbon, which is tied in bows where the handle joins the cushion part.—Brooklyn Eagle, Cures Diseases of Plants. By his method of feeling through the stems instead of the roots S. A. Mokrsezki, the Russian entomologist, believes that trees and plants can be cured of disease and greatly stimulat- ed in growth. His special apparatus is intended to introduce salts of iron —either solid or in solution—into apple and pear trees, and he has used if for applying chemical treatment to 800 fruit trees on the southern shore of the Crimea. The weak and dis- eased condition of the trees was remedied, while an unusual develop- ment followed. Australian Rabbits. A few years ago the rabbit was the plague and dread of the whole pastoral class in Australia, Australians are learning now to turn the rabbit itself into a commercial asset. Twenty mil- lions of Australian rabbit skins were sold in London last year, while nearly 3,000,000 rabbits frozen in their furs were sent to the London market from Victoria alone. The Australian rabbit is thus supplying the tables of the United Kingdom with food and the wardrobes of the civilized world with ornaments. Hotel Savoy’s Immense Mirror. The Hotel Savoy in New York plumes itself upon the possession of the largest mirror in the world. Only two steamships of the ocean—one of them the Friesland, in which it came —have room in their holds to stow away such a large package. It is a little more than thirteen feet square and is nearly half an inch thick. To get this perfect plate five different glasses had to be cast. It was made at the St. Gabian glass-works in Paris. Composition of Gas Mantles. The composition used in gaslight mantles is 99 per cent thoria and 1 per cent ceria. The foundation of the Welsbach mantles‘is cotton fiber, but the Lehner fabric, composed of artificial silk, made from collodion, gives a more brilliant light and a far- longer life, but such mantles are nat- urally more expensive. The experi- ence of Buhiman of Berlin with man- tles made of ramie fiber have given most encouraging results, Auction Sale of of STATE-GRANT LANDS. o’clock p. m. , a.m. a,m. o’clock a. m. . . about $6 per acre. with tracts of natural meadows. rights reserved.
