A BRAVE WORCESTERSHIRE have much
pleasure in recording an act of cour-
ageous self-control and presence of mind
which may be compared with advantage
to the honors won by deeds of daring
on the field cf battle. Two workmen
were engaged fixing lightning conduct
or on the summit of the steeple at Vile
sur Ourthe, in Belgium. To accomplish
this somewhat difficult and delicate task
it was necessary that one of the workmen
should stand on the shoulders of his
companion. While in this position, a
violent gust of wine. made him spill some
molten lead, which fell on the hand and
forearm of his friend. Notwithstanding
the sudden intensity of the pain thus in
the courage to remain motionless while
the lead burnt it's way into the flesh.
He knew that the slightest movement
might suffice Go precipitate his compan-
ion from height of seventy feet into
the street below, and he brayely endur-
ed the pain rather than imperil the life
of fellow-worker. NJ A. Karis, slater
at Anthisne, is the hero of this brave
deed, and his name is worthy of public
record.

over thirty men and boys were leaning
against the fence and applauding. The
first few feet were cut on the bias, Ieav-
ing a strip along the curb stone as
fringe. On the other side of the walk
she started out to tuck and ruffie, but
finally cut most of the grass On the gore
and finished up with deep founce along
the street. Over by the fence she hem
med up narrow strip, bound it along
With clean cut, and then performed
some Of the INCEST plating ever seen,
leaving enough tall grass along the
fence board to serve as an overskirt to
the. lawn. The boys thought there ought
to be more padding around the horse
block, but she was busy falling over the
handle of the mower just then, and limp
ed into the house without taking any Of
their advice.

SALE OF SEORT-HORNS.
Over Twenty-three Thousand Dolllrs
for Cow.

The sale of choice short horns from
the herds of Hon. M. III. Cochrane,
Simon Baatie and John Hope which
took place at the Crystal Palace Grounds
in Toronto, on Wednesday, attracted u
large number of buyers from all parts of
Ontario and the United States. The
whole number of animals sold wfs fifty
four, and the total proceeds were $32,-
go. There were thirty-eight COWS, the
average price brought being $2,213. 68
| and sixteen bulls, which brought an av-
erage of $509.37. The animals are re-
ported to have been in various stages OF
condition, some being in high exhibition
| order, while others were only in breed
! ing condition, and yet others were quite
poor. The chief interest of the sale was
| centered in two "Duchesses. It would
be difficult to imagine more perfect
animal of her kind. Fine head, beauti-
fully formed full chest, smooth round
barrel, heavy massive hind quarters, fine,
symmetrical, and in short, all that the
stock fancier could wish for. In an
, swer to Mr.. Pages first call, ''How much
for Airdrie Duchess Third ?'' came the
| response, '"Ten thousand dollars, from
Emery Cobb, of Kankakee, I'll. Eleven
thousand was the next bid, and then they
came thick ard fast, Col. Cannon, DIR.
Sumner, Mr.. Thornton and Albert Crane
| being among the most distinguished of
tho bidders. Mr.. Thornton, who was
| bidding for some parties in England,
went up to $4,000 and left the contest
to the Americans, who kept the ball
rolling-till Mr.. Cranes bid of 1923, 600
carried off the prize amid the cheers of
the breeders, who seemed to warmly ap-
preciate the pluck of the. Kansas man.
Next came another beautiful light
roam, Mr.. Cochrane's Airdrie Duchess
Second. Again Mr.. Cobb bid $40, 900,
and again the gentleman already men
toned competed in the most spirited
manner, the second bid being $15, 900.
Mr.. Thornton once more dropped in at
$40, 900, and the Kansas breeder once
more outbid all competitors, buying
Airdrie Duchess Second for $21, 900.
AS might be expected, the sale of these
two animals created considerable excite
ment, and not few were heard to make
such expressions as, "Well, [ never ex-
pected to see two COWS sell for 81, ,6O0l"
This, however, is considerably short of
the price paid at CampbelIs New York
Mills sale, held September 10th, 1873,
when Lord Dunmore paid $35, 900 for
tenth Duchess of Geneva, and Lord
Skelmersdale bought Eighth Duchess
of Oneida for $40, 900.

CHASING A Fox ONE HUNDRED Mules.
The Nashville American says /: S. A.
Pointer has one of the best packs of
hounds to be found in the State. Their
progenitors were purchased in England
for 5000. During the week they caught
five red foxes in the vicinity of Thomp-
sons Station. One Of the foxes, Capt.
Pointer says, was chased 100 miles, ac-
cording TO close calculation made by
one of the neighbors, and was so run
down at the close of the Tooth mile that
one of the huntsmen dismounted from
his horse, caught the fox by the tail, and
only had time to stamp at its head once
when the first hound came up and fin
ished Reynard.

How to GET ALoNG.-Don't stop to
tell stories in business hours.
If you have place OF business be
found there when wanted.
No man can get rich by setting around
stores and salaoons.
Never ''fool' i'll business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, and
also promptness.
Do not meddle with business you
know nothing of.
DO not kick every one in your path.
More miles can be made in a day by
going steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word as
he does his bond.
Help others when you can, but never
give what you cannot afford to, simply
because it is fashionable.
Learn to say No No necessity of
swapping it out dog fashion, but say it
firmly and respectfully.
Use your own brains rather than
those of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.
Young man, cut this out, and if there
be any fallacy IN the argument let rs
know.

IT is remarkable fact that those who
advertise the most literally grumble the
least about dull times. In dull times
every one is looking for the place he can
get the most goods for the least money,
and he scans the columns of his local
paper for the desired information. He
sees that certain merchant advertises
to sell goods cheap, and perhaps quotes
few prices. He visits his place Of
business to ascertain if he performs what
he advcrtises, and makes his purchases
there. lie is satisfied. The merchant
makes a good profit on his goods, keeps
advertising and gets the bulk of trade.
Why? Because he keeps his name and
business constantly before the people.
Judicious advertising is the greatest
panacea for dull times.

EASTERN people have frequently been
puzzled to find definition of the fa-
nous race of San Francisco hoodlums.
They are from sixteen to twenty years
old. A police officer tells what one of
them did: s'He drinks beer out of a
bucket in the sand lot; he stands watch
for 'em while the others play poker in
the sand lot, and mighty poor watch
he is. They knocked down grocery
man and went through his till, hit q man
with cobblestone, cleaned out wash
house, stole all Mrs. Martins hens and
cooked 'em in the sand lot, killed three
pet dogs and left the carcasses on the
street, tore down Gallagher's fence,
started three runways, broke ter win
dows in the Hayes Valley cars, fright
ened the school teachers and children
coming from the grammer school, and if
you want me to go back a month I'll tell
you things thatll make your hair stand
on end"

A FIGHT WITH A SHARK.

The Pensacola Fla.) Gazette of the
Sth inst. has the following account of an
exciting adventure Capt. John B.
Guttnan, of the Pensacola Guards, sig
nalized himself in an odd encounter las!
Friday, and came ont first best Riding
down to the shore OF Escambia Bay, the
Captain noticed n strange commotion in
the water, and that the beach for q con-
siderable distance was covered with fish
from six inches to foot and half in
length, some dead and some still Jump
ing, while others continued to spring
from the water above which showed the
sharp dorsal fin of shark, cutting the
surface as he pursued the fish. The
sporting spirit of the captain was fired,
and springing from the buggy he opened
his pocket knife, with blade less than
three inches long, and rushed into the
water, which was thigh deep where he
encountered the shark, and pushed his
little knife into it. The creature did not
seem to feel it, and its hide was Sc tough
that the captain could not rip it, SO he
continued his thrusts while the shark
endeaVored to turn SO as to seize him.
Finally the shark felt the blade, and,
retreating twelve or fifteen feet, charged
back with a rush. The captain sprang
aside as it attempted to bite him, and
Il, 1o,>
long, and piled his knife while they
waltzed around, the shark continually
tuning IN the endeavor to bite. Find
ing his knife of no avail against the nine
lives Of the shark, the captain caught up
a short, heavy piece of drift-wood which
opportunely came within reach, and, as
struck it severe blow ut the base of its
skull, which instantly stunned it. He
than drew it ashore, where it was dis
patched. 1t was exactly five feet in
length. La the earliest stages of the
conflict, captain G.'s three companions,
who were off in the woods at its begin
ming, came out on the bluff and called
out in alarm, It's a shark come out of
the water 7 That Prussian gave his lips
their usual twist, and simply said, 4
know it, and went On with his amuse-
