Driving a Hen Into the Coop.

When woman has hen to drive into
the coop she takes bold of her hoops with
both hand, and shakes them quietly tow
ards the delinquent says, "Shew There"
The hen takes one look at. the object to
convince herself that it's woman, and
then stalks majestically into the coop in
perfect disgust of the sex. A man don't
do that way. He goes out of doors and
says, "Itis singular nobody in this house
can drive q hen out myself" and,
picking up Stick of wood, hurls it at
the offending mbed, and observes, SECT
In there you thief" The hen immediate
ly loses her reason, and dashes to the
oppusite end of the yard. The man,
straightway dashes after her. She comes
back again with her head down, her
wings out, and followed by an assort
ment OF stove wood, fruit cans and Goa
clinkers, with much-puffing and very
NAL man in the rear. Skips up on the
stoop, aud under the barn, and over {
fence or two, aud arouad the house, anC

PUTTING IIooP ON A FLOUR BAR
IEL-According to the Danbury Nesos
putting hoop on family -four barrel
is an operation that will hardly bear an
encore. The woman generally attempts
it before the man comes TO dinner. She
sets the hoop upon the slaves, takes a
deliberate aim with the rolling pin, and
then shutting both eyes brings the pin
down with all the force OF one arm, while
the other instinotively shields her face.
Then she makes dive for the camphor
and unbleached muslin, and when the
man comes home she is setting back of
the stove, thinking of St. Stephen and
the other martyrs, while burnt dinner
and the camphor are struggling heroic
ally for the mastery. He says if she had
kept her temper she wouldn't have got
hurt And he visits the barrel himself,
and puts the hoop on carefully, and ad-
! iusts it SD nicely TO the top of every

are needed to bring it down all right and
he laughs to himself to think what fuss

a shrewd Old Fox.

Ia. "a a
A certain Norwegian hunter, who was one
morning keeping watch in the forest, saw
fox cautiously yemaking hisE approach toward
the stump OF an old tree. When sufficiently
near, he took high and determined jump on
to The top OF H., and after looking round q
while hopped to the ground again,a After Rey-
nard had repeated this knightly exercise sew
eral times, he went his way, but presently. re-
turned to the SPOT bearing q large and heavy
piece or dry oak in his mouth; and thus bur.
drnd. and. 1t woulc seem, for the purpose of
testing his vaulting powers, he renewed his
leaps on to the stump. After time, however,
whefNhe found TINT welghtedl as Ne VAS he
cduldimakesthe ascent will facility, he desist-
ed from further efforts, dropped the piece of
wood from his mouth, and coiling himself up
on yhe top OF the stump, remained motionless
as if dead. At the approach of evening an
oldsow and her progeny Ave or six In mum
ber issued from aneighborng thickrt and pur-
suing their usual track, passed near To the
stump in question. @ Two of her sucklings fol-
lowed, somewhat behind the rest, and just as
they neafed his ambush, Michel, with the rap
idity OF 4 lIong b Is, idaIted d0wnafo his perch
on one of them. and in the twinkling ofan eye
bore 1t in triumphlO the fastness he had SO
cunningly prepared beforehand. Confuunded
at the shfieks of her offspring the old SOW re-
turned in fury to the spot, and until late in the
night made repeated desperate attempts to
storm the murdcrer's Stronghold \ but the fox
took the matter very cody, and devoured the
pig under the very nose of its mother.

ExcIT1NG SCENE. Among the arrivals
at this port, the other night, was the
ship City Of Spain, which craft brought
q very interesting cargo. Among the
consignments were number OF rare,
wild beasts, including four huge Asiatic
elephants, a Sumatran black Tbinoceros,
a horned horse, three Bengal tigers, etc,
the property OF Mr.. A. FOrepaugb, the
well-known Snowman.
Yesterday the work Of removing these
animals from the vessel TO the wharf was
commenced. Several Of the beasts, in
cluding the elephants, had been safely
landed, and everything progressed salts
factory until about noon, when one of
the crew informed Mr.. Forepaugh, who
was experimenting the embarkation Oh
the dock, that oue oi the tigers had be-
come very FESTIVE, and was exhibiting a
disposition to break from his cage The
sailor further stated that the beast, in
tearing about his cage, had partially sue
ceeded IN wrenchiBg IL from the strong
plauks which constituted It's floor.
Mr.. Forepaugh only smiled at the
fears of the sailor, and went on with his
work, aud here the matter dropped tor
the time being. After all the smaller
animals together with he elephants, had
been landed, the wUrkmen turIed their
attention to the rhinoceros, who was
confined in huge box of thick planks,
the corners of which were heavily bound
with strong iron bands. just a. the
cage had been rolled TO the pieI the work
men were startled at seeing several of
the sailors, half dead with fright, come
tumblilg upon the dock, shouting out, as
they did SO, that one OF the tigars had
succeeded in escaping from his cage.
Instantly CONSIDERATION was spread
around the crowd of sight-seers dispers-
ed in moment, flying IN all directions.
The elephants, who were standing qul-
etlv in the street, we've seized with a
frenzy, and began stampede. Chains
were shaped asunder az it mere threads,
and the animals were moving away at
the utmost speed.
The tigar's escape was reality
terrible reality-for, after bounding ul
the platform which connected the ship
with the dock, he had reached the street
and fastened himself to the back of a
horse attached TO a cart, and the poor
ueast lay dying. Policeman Munro,
moved toward the animal who was en-
joyng his quiet repast, but the tigar
raising his head, deigned not to notice
the minion oi the law, and return t
his prey. 1t cost him his life, tor tn
officer, with a well aimed shot from hi
revolver, killed the beast He was val
ued at So, ,00O.-Ne,D York Star.
