Predatory Chicks.

Try Max Adeler's method. He de-
scribes it as follows:
eve had good deal of trouble last
summer with Pitman's chickens; as
fast as we planted anything in our lit
tie garden, those chickens of Pitman's
would creep through the fence, ,scrat ch
out the seed, fill up and go home
When the radish-bed had been ravish-
ed in this manner, for the fifth time,
we complained to Ptman. He was not
disposed to interfere. 'AdeIer,' he said,
4 tell you it does 'em good and it
does them beds good to be raked over
by chickens. If I have radishes, give
me chickens to scratch around them
and eat up the worms. Radishes that
have not been scratched amt worth a
cent Then we climed over the fence
with the determination to take the law
in our own hands, We procured half
peck of corn and two dozen small
fish hooks. Fastening the hooks each
to q grain of corn, we tied a wire to
each hook. Then we scattered the
whole of the corn on the radish- bed,
and fixed the ends of the wires on the
UISSCSG an AOChCG VIC SOuIN SCGs AdC
rocket stood in a frame about ten
yards away from the hooks. That
very morning Pitman's chickens came
over, and instantly began to devour
the corn. We were ready, and, as
soon as it was evident that the hooks
were all swallowed, we applied match
to that rocket. It is regarded as prob.
able that no barn yard fowls that have
existed since the days of Noah ever
proceeded toward the azure vault Of
heaven with the same rapidity as those
did A fizz, few ejaculatory cackles
puff of smoke, and Pitman's roOsters
and chickens were swishing around
among the celestial consultations
without their feathers, and with some
doubt respecting the stability of earth
ly things. Pitman never knew what
became of his fowls; but when W.
read in the paper the next day that q
underdone chickens, with fish hook
in their craws, had been rained dow
by hurricane in New Jersey, we fel
certain that skyrocket had done it

Mr. Smi1ey's Gun.

Max Adeler relates this story: Re
Gently it occurred to Mr. Smiley, of
Darbey, that it would be good thing
to go out to see if he couldn't shoot
a rabbit or two. He always kept his
gun loaded and ready IN the corner OF
the room, so he merely shouldered it
and went out. After while he saw
rabbit, and, taking aim, he pulled the
trigger. The gun failed to go Off
Then he pulled the other trigger, and
the. cap snapped again. Mr.. Smiley
used some extreme language, and then
taking a pin he picked the nipples Of
the gun, primed them with a little
powder, and started again. Presently
he saw another rabbit, but both caps
snapped again. The rabbit did not
see Smiley, so he put on more caps
and they snapped too. Then Smiley
cleaned out the nipples again, primed
them, and fired the gun off at fence.
Then the caps snapped again. Then
Smiley became furious, and in his rage
he expended forty-seven caps in an
effort to make the gun go off. When
the forty seventh cap missed also,
Smiley thought that there might, per-
haps, be something the matter with
the inside of the gun, so he tried the
barrels with his ramrod. To his ut
ter dismay, he discovered that both
barrels were empty Mrs. Smiley,
who is nervous about firearms, had
drawn the load without telling Smiley
for fear of making him angry. II
there had been a welkin anywhere
about it would probably have been
made to ring with Mr.. Smiley's ex-
cited denunciations of Mrs. Smiley
Finally, however, he became cooler,
and loading both barrels, he started
again after rabbits. He saw one in q
few moments, and was about to fire,
when he noticed that there was nc
caps on his gun. He felt for one, and
to his dismay, found he'd snapped the
last one off. Then he ground his teeth
and walked home. On his way there
he saw at least six hundred rabbits
He has been out hunting every day
since, however, with his gun in first
rate order, and he has never laid eye:
on a solitary rabbit. Smiley is begin
: ming to think something is wrong il
the government of the universe" "

The Matter of Kid Gloves.

The delicate kid glove, so easily
soiled, ripped and worn out, is an ar
ticle of wearing apparel which illus
trates as much as any other thing, per
haps, tee extravaganza of fashion -
The annual receipts of imported kid
gloves at the port of New York
amount to 100000 pairs, which
cost the merchant buyer about $10,-
100000, and the consumer the enor-
nous sum of over S20,000,0e0. This
for one article Of luxury in clothing
in the space of twelve months! One
New York retail house alone sells
enough gloves to make an average of
81, 900 profits per day. The New
York trade is fragment only Of the
whole trade in kid gloves in the Uni
ted States, which shows how far the
nation has departed from the philo-
sophical teachings of the great max
imist, "a cat in gloves catches no
mice" The trade in fine hand ware
in this country is increasing rapidly,
as Americans of both sexes are rap
idly falling into the customs of the
Europeans, who rarely go bare-hand-
ed.

The Survey to Jackson.

MI Alex. Mccoy concluded his
survey to Jackson late Saturday even
ing, and, on returning, he gives very
glowing account Of the advantages of
the route. He reports no streams of
consequence to cross after leaving the
river. The only bridges that will have
to be constructed is one over Salt
Creek, at Richmond, and the one over
South Fork at the foot of Zeigler' 5
Hill. The grades are all easy, none
of them being over ten feet The
curves are generally good, and ample
opportunities for switches and side
tracks are afforded There are no
cuts or fills of consequence, the heav-
est being this side of Richmond The
distance from the lower end of Paint
street to the Star Furnace at Jackson
is just twenty-nine miles. He reports
striking the iron region just below
Richmond, and the coal three miles
further on, and which, from tha
point, extends continuously to Jack

Danced Into Her Grave.

A favorite dancer at the Chatelet,
having been the recipient of boquets
and billets deaux for half the season,
was fairly spoiled by her triumphs.-
On a certain evening she was to dance
a pas deux with an italian girl, a new
member of the troupe, who had not
shown any particular chorographic
skill. On that occasion the Italian
seemed inspired. She danced like q
sprite, and actually gained more ap,
plause than the French girl, who was
so overwhelmed with modification
and unexpected defeat in the midst of
her triumphs that, toward the close of
the ballet, she burst into tears and
suddenly left the stage.
The next afternoon the discounted
danseuse was found dead in her bed,
and the odor Of the charcoal, when
the door of her lodgings was burst
open, told the tragic tale.
The Frenchwoman, it appears, had
won away the lover of the italian, who
had resolved to avenge herself by out
dancing her successful rival. She had
taken private lessons, and practiced
for weeks, until she felt confident OF
victory. Her confidence was well
based. She danced the pretty Partisan
into her grave.
