Five or six miles away, and as far off

Dutch Hill had a match hunt last Sat.
urday afternoon, which, on account OF
the rain was almost q failure; still,
several of the hunters made good
strings, Notwithstanding the weather.
The boys in town are talking Of getting
up hunt for Saturday next, but it is
not known, as yet, whether it will
come of or not. One thing we car
depend upon,-if they have hunt
next Saturday the strings will not bC
as heavy as heretofore.

Type-Setting In Japan.

The advantages of alphabetic writing
are nowhere more conspicuously shown
than in large printing Office. The
compositor stands within easy reach of
every character he may have need of,
and boy can learn the position of each
in the case in few hours. It is quite
another matter where each word has a
distinct character, as in China and
Japan. A correspondent, describing
the office of Japanese paper, says that
a full font Of Japanese type comprises
$4,000 characters, of which 5000 are in
constant use, and for 1000 more there
are frequent calls. The type is disposed
about the composing room on racks, like
those in reading room, and the com
positors wander up and down the aisles
setting type and taking exercise at once.
With SO many characters it is no won
der that Japanese proof-readers have to
be men of intelligence and high scholar
ship. "'| tss' ,.
Il The impossibility of telegrapbing
single-character words has kept this
great instrument of civilization in for
eign hands, and made it practically use
less for the natives of China and Japan.
To these the telephone is an especial
blessing, which they are not slow to ap-
preciate. -Sc5e1atIJfc american. p 49,. +.

IN Genoa, Vespucci in Florence. and
Cabot, presumably, in Venice. The birth
OF Cabot is uncertain, as are his age and
the place and time of his death. But
the fact that the license granted him by
Henry VII. calls him Kabotto, Vene-
tlan, would seem to determine the cues
tian of his nativity. The discoveries
had sorry fortune. Columbus. as we
are aware, was treated with the blacklist
ingratitude by the King of Spain.
When officers of the vessel in which he
was carried prisoner to SPAN offered
to remove his chains, imposed upon him
by royal order, he replied, 81 will wear

neglected, in extreme poverty, of a
broken heart. Vespucci had many trials
and died poor, and Cabota fell into such
obscurlty that no one can tell where or
when or how he died. Surely the augu-
ries attendant on the birth of the West
ern world were not favorable, and in a
superstitious age might have led to the
belief that it's history would never be
marked by good fortune.-NeaO York

A Pet VOLTS Freaks.

A remarkable wolf story is that told
by Mr.. Christ. PAIL, of Buffalo town
ship. He brought wolf s skull into
the County Auditors Office and said he
had prepared it for the geological cabi-
net at the academy. He stated that the
wolf was captured when cub. had
been raised at his house with dog and
cat, and that these three were as friendly
as could be-in fact, the wolf seemed as
tame as though he belonged to tribe of
domestic animals, except in one particu-
lar-he would devour chickens, and no
amount of punishment that would leave
him Live would cure him of his love of
live poultry. Mr.. PAIL had son 10
years of age, between whom and the
wolf there was almost constant intimacy
and warm friendship they would wan
der all about the farm together and frolic
every day, but love for the boy had no
effect on the wolf s taste for fowls.
When the beasts food was brought to
him, he would scatter it about him, and
then lie down with his face resting on
his fore paws, feigning sleep company
OF hens would surround him to eat his
food, and woe to the biddy that came
within reach of his paw-she was de-
voured in trice. There was no help
for it +; the wolf must be killed, or poul-
try-raising must end on the farm. So
Mr.. PAIL fred a charge OF large shot at
the wolf, but did no more then wound
him in the thick hide of his neck, and
he put of for the woods. The farmer
and his men followed him two miles be-
fore getting another shot at him, and
then he was shot in a hind leg. He
crawled into thicket, and the hunters,
thinking he was done for, went home.
The very next morning the wolf came to
the kitchen door Of the farm house, when
the family were eating breakfast, and
scratched for admission. The boy was
delighted, ran out, and boy and wolf
had the happiest kind of time all day.
Mr.. PAIL resolved to spare the wolf for
his boys sake, but the very next morn
ing the wolf was at his old trap for the
chickens and devoured two ROSTERS,
and he was killed instanter. He had
grown to nearly the size of aNewfound-
land dog. Davenport Gazette.

The Discovery Of North America.

A Wall street broker laid wager the
other. day that Christopher Columbus
discovered the continent of North
America, and, of course, lost it. It is
surprising how many intelligent persons
entertain the same error. Knowing that
he discovered number of islands in
the Western hemisphere, they think
that he must of necessity have discov-
cred this continent also. They forget
that he died in ignorance of the grand
eur Of his achievement, believing Cuba,
Terra Firma, and the other lands he had
found to be remote parts of Asia
Amerigo Vespucci, after whom North
and South America is named, did not
discover this continent proper either.
The land he discovered lay near the
equator, and he, too, was deluded with
the notion that it was a portion of Asia.
John Cabot was the discoverer of North
America (some time in May, 1497),
which ne likewise supposed to belong to
the dominions of the Grand Cham. He
sailed along the coast for 800 leagues,
and went ashore, without finding any
human being, though he believed the
country inhabited. It is remarkable
that the three great discoveries of the
Western world should all have been

to walk forty miles each working day for two

requires to accomplish the 25, 900 miles. He is

plishes the task.

From Baltimore we have the account
Of a genuine case Of leprosy. The pa.
tent is a native of New York, but lived
for many years in Cuba. His condition
is thus spoken Of: His hands and feet
are covered with scaly ulcers, and his
face is breaking out with large tubercu-
lous sores, giving him a shocking ap-
pearance. The surgeons did not regard
the disease as contagious or Infectious.
The man is lying in ward occupied by
other patients. He is in the second
stage of the disease; says he does not
suffer any pain, is cheerful, and con-
verses freely" asrrs uo~o ,sd+ -r4
The prognosis of the physicians of
the hospital is that the disease is incur
able, and the man must die a slowdeath.
He enjoyed excellent health up to the
time of attack. The United States must
not expect to long escape this terrible
scourge, which from the days OF Moses
has been the terror of Eastern countries.

Death Of a Twenty-MilIionaire.

W. s. O'Brien, of Flood & O'Brien,
died at San Francisco few days ago,
after a lingering illness of several
months. His death will in no manner
interfere with the business affGf irs of the
firm. About year and half ago all
the property of the firm was divided,
with the exception of the mining stock
business, which remains in common, Mr..
Flood having the management of the
deceased's interest. This management
will continue in force for the present,
and the business will go on as usual.
Mr.. O'BrieR was bachelor, but has a
sister, niece, and nephew in California,
and sister and niece in Paris. His
property is vaguely estimated at
$15, 900, 900 to 800, 600, 900.
