How to Sell Plgskln Gaps.

A merchant in Bangor, Me-, many years
ago, opened store in one of the thriving
towns in the northern part of that State,
where he found sale for great many goods
which had dbecomc tout of fashion," Among
other articles sent to his country store were
Il lot of pig-skin caps, which, however,
proved too wuch for the genius of his sales
men, and they lay in stock long time.
Ono day the merchant visited the town
where his store was located, and noticing
the pig-skin caps, inquired if any had been
sold. 'cNot onc," responded the salesman;
"no one will buy them." "Very wcll,,'
said the owner, '1lavc them all taken to
the back part of the store, brushed up
clean, and put in the window next Monday
morning." On the ensuing Sunday the
merchant made his appearance at the village
church, dressed in best broadcloth, with q
heavy gold watch chain dangling from his
vest, and a pig-skin cap jauntily set on the
side of his head. On Monday the sale of
the pig-shin caps commenced, and continued
until the whole lot was disposed of.

An Elephant Fair.

The great elephant far Of India is
annually held ut Sonepoor, on the
Ganges. Thousands of horses and ele-
plants may be seen, and the bargain
driving and Deceit Of elephant sellers
seem to be fully as great as the tricks
Of horse-dealers at home. The price OF
elephants has risen enormously Of late
years. In 1886 the price Of elephants
was f45 per head. !; or the, Bengal Coy
ernment requiring seventy Of these AMI
mails in 1878, the sum of G150 each was
sanctioned, but not an elephant could
be procured at that price. e150 is now
the lowest rate at which young animals
and those chiefly feAlales, can be
bought. Taskers Of any pretentions
can command from E800 to s1 800, but
the Koomer'all, or best strain Of ele-
phant---like olTS blood horses will
fetch almost any price; $4,000 is not
an unk nown fgure.

n Wonderful Fountain.

One of the most wonderful natural Dhe-
nomcna ever witnessed was seen by a large
crowd of people few days ago at the house
OF MIR. Peter Taylor, who lives just outside
OF Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. For some time
MIR. Taylor has had number Cf men Dor
ing for water in the southwest corner of his
grounds. When depth of about 100 feet
had been reached Mr.. Taylor heard pccu-
liar rumbling sound, apparently issuing from
hole, and Judging that something unusual
was about to happen, warned his men to
move to Il safe distance from the we'll.
Scarcely had they done SO when fountain
OF muddy water shot straight into the air
with terrific force, carrying up the boring
pipe with 1t us far as the fastcnngs would
allow, and scattering mud, water, and
stones in all directions. The subtcrrancan
noises appeared gradually to increase in vio-
lencc, aud as they did so, the cxpcling
force, whatever it was, seemed to be pro-
portionally augmented until the cone
shaped column obtained height of fully
100 feet. Some idea of the mysterious sub
tcrrancan power which supplied the motor
for this exhibition of natural water works
may be conveyed by the fact that stones
weighing fully five, six, and even eight
pounds were shot up into the air to con-
siderable height, while showers Of rounded
pebbles Of smaller size fell like hailstoncs
upon circle of several yards around the
hole One large sized stone struck n tim
Der of the derrick in its upward course and
glancing of, was thrown several hundred
yards into Mr. William Taylor's grounds on
the opposite side of the road. The wind
was blowing pretty strong from the south
at the time and the result was that the roof
of Mr.. Taylor's large brick housc-one of
the largest in town-and its south side were
bcspattcrcd with the muddy water, there
being actually puddle of clay, pebbles
and water several inches deep on the roof.
Showers of the same mixture were carried
over the house and for some distance alonr
the street north of his lot. After the extra
ordinary spectacle had lasted for nearly an
hour and half. the fountain appeared to
make one Inst grand effort to do better than
its best, and then gradually to lose its as
ccnding force. The series of Jerking leaps,
for the cXpelling power seemed all along to
be irregular and intcrmittant rather Than
continuous--becamc weaker and weaker;
the steady whirring sound which accom-
panied the exhibition, and which can best
be described as resembling very closely the
noise of steam fire engine, gradually les
scncd, and at about 5. 30 Mr. Taylor was
rather relieved to find that his magnificent
but inconvcniently powerful sprinkler
had disappeared, for the present ut least,
within subtcrrancan rcccssscs The rumb-
ling sound continued for few minutes and
then ceased though the water which filled
up the pipe to within twenty y-three feet of
the surface of the earth was disturbed for
some time afterwards by bubbling noise.

Charles Dickens Home.

Charles Dickens beloved home -, the
dream of his youth, the delight Of his prime
Gads Hill place, Is now for sale. He
bought It for $8950, but improved it 80 much

When he died reserve price of $4,000

secured by his eldest son Charles, who now
offers it to the highest bidder. In addition
to the associations connected with 1t, Dick
ems practically rebuilt the house, and added
considerably to the land originally pertain

Novel Mode OF Packing Flowers.

Choice flowers have been sent across
the continent from California by a nov
ell method, which is described as fol-
lows A large potato of a California
variety, the largest in the world, was
cut in two and part of the pulp scooped
out of til Q centre of both pieces. Into
the halves were laid the Occidental
bloom," and the potato was joined to-
gether again with strip of thin pa.
per. about the edges. The moisture
from tie potato kept the flowers fresh
during their journey, and their color
was as beautiful on reaching their des-
tination as when first plucked. The
odor, however, was gone from the flow
ers, and they gavc forth a decidedly
"Potatoish" scent. We presume a
scQoped-ont pumpkin would answer
the purpose equally as we'll, and afford
greater room for storage.

JTair Play.

A noblcman residing at castle in Italy
was about to celebrate his marriage feast.
All the elements were propitious except the
ocean, which had been so boistcrOus as to
deny the very necessary appendage of fish,
On the very morning of the feast, however,
poor fisherman made his appearance with
turbot SO large that it seemed to have been
created for the occasion. Joy pervaded the
castle, and the fisherman was ushered with
his prize into the saloon, where the noble
man, i'll the presence of his visitors, request
ee him to put what price he thought proper
on the fish, and it should be instantly paid
him. One hundred lashcs, said the fisher
man, OH my bare back, is the price of my

cord on my bargain. The nobcman and his
guests were not little astonishcd, but our
chapman was resolute, and remonstrance
was IN vain. at length the nobleman eX-

ministered, hold, hold, exclaimed the fish
