The comparative force Of gunpowder and
dynamite was discussed by two miners at
Tunka, CAL They agreed as test, to ex-
plode certain quantities of the substances
under two planks, the friend of gunpowder
to stand on the dynamite plank and the
friend of dynamite on the other. The trial
was made in the presence of an interested
crowd of spectators. It resulted in broken
leg for the man who was lifted ten feet
into the air by the dynamite, and uncounted
bruises for the one whom the gunpowder
threw against the trunk of tree.
An exchange says: "The girls in the

LITTLE BOBBY, aged 8 years, has at
tended Sunday-school one or two
months. He is an apt scholar, and
gives early promise of bearing rich ethi-
cal fruitage. At play with an older
brother, the other day, his original
Adam so far got the better Of him as to
cause him to clinch his little fists and
strike his brother. Brother Tom was
about to retaliate with his more formid-
able weapon, when Bobby cried out
"No, no, no! Teacher says 90 NUT

A Birds Fear Of the Dead.

1t is not mere sentimentalism that
pleads in favor of the most merciful
form of death being adopted in the case
of the slaughtering of animals intended
for human consumption. There is no
question that much suffering would be
spared cattle if they were not allowed
to see each other slaughtered. Not
easy is it to conceive the kind of tor
ture they feel and cannot express.
How observant are animals is
proved by a case which came under my
own observation. Among the inmates
of my house is a jackdaw, an illgrained
and vituperative bird as ever accepted,
under protest, human companionship
and human attention. He prefers so
distinctly sleeping in a cage where no
enemy can assail him while he is off his
guard that he is allowed to have his
own way in the matter. One day while
he was in his cage, some dead pheasants,
which mad just arrived N a hamper
were placed beside him. His dread
of these was remarkable to witness.
A bird whose whole time was
passed in defiance of things
stronger than himself, in aggravating q
mastiff that would not. make two bites
of him, or in pinching surreptitiously
the fiamboyant tail of his arch enemy.
the cat, when it came within reach OF
his cage, went at this sight into an &c
stacy of terror, which could not be ap-
peased until the uncanny objects were
removed. What instinct caused this
strange demonstration in the presence
of death shown in one of its own race,
albeit of SO different specie. is not to
be guessed. Much food for reflection
and speculation is, however, afforded.

An Illinois man protects his trees
from rabbits with mounds made in the
following manner:
81 choose for the time of making
them when the soil is little wet, not
muddy, but waxy. much prefer q day
on which there is slight freeze. quar-
ry out a square yard of the thinly frozen
soil around the stem of the tree; the
ground being slightly CONCEALED on the
surface, this is easily and rapidly done,
and the operation removes all weeds,
grass and clods. The soil around the
stem is then made very loose, after
which firm it by treading it down
solid. Another portion of the upper
soil is removed near the tree, which
again disposes of all trash, and from
this get the soil to make my mound.
This I begin with a broad base, say
two feet, 1 am careful to tramp down
we'll every few spadefuls. In this
way I proceed until the mound
is ten or twelve inches high, sloping
steeply in the shape in which it is too
frequently left. then take away the
outer and lower part all round by
plunging the spade in perpendicularly,
about six inches from the stem of the
tree. This leaves a ball standing
around the stem of the tree, the sur
plus soil being thrown aside. Next
humble myself and, with my hands
mold this ball into a pointed or oval
shape at the top and pound it with my
fist until is very compact and smooth.
"I have been very tedious, probably
to those who do not need my advice,
but do feel sorry for those who have
nice young trees ruined by 'varmints.' ,
The aggregate loss in the West every
winter from this cause is enormous.
My object is to give those help who
think they have tried mounds in vain:
Don't give up this plan; mounds formed
in this way will work. There is soil
and on many farms the material for
wrapping are not at hand. Remove all
mounds in spring."

REST.

His mother was a Princes child,
His sire a crowned King:
There lacked not to his wishes wild
What the broad earth could bring;
Strong knees were supple at his word,
Swords glfmmered ut his will:
Brave fortunei but II wearied him
His spirit thirsted still.
For him the glorious music rolled
OF singers silent long:
The Roman and the Grecian told
Their wars OF Right and Wrong;
For him philosophy unveiled
Athenian Platos lore;
Might these not serve TO stead a life7
Not these! he sighed for more.
He loved-the truest, newest lip
That ever lover pressed
The Queenliest mouth of all the South
Long love for him confessed.
Round him his children's joyousness
Rang siivery and shrill;
Thrice happyi save that happiness
Lacked something-something still.
1t camel the studded scepter lay,
An unregarded thing;
velvets and gold did brayely hold
The body of the King.
whyi strange that Love, and Lore, and
Sway
Looked ever on before.
And those pale, quiet lips OF clay
Asked nothing-nothing more!

An IncredulOus Editor.

The London correspondent of the
Liverpool Post writes: "a telegram
read out at one of the clubs this evening.
announcing that an Irish landlord, Mr..
r. w. Gason, was fired at to-day near
Borrisokane, drew forth from a bystander
a rather astonishing story. A few years
ago one of the Dublin papers published
sensational announcement that Mr..
Gason's brother, Mr.. Samuel Gason, of
Tullamore, had been shot by some
Rory of the Hills. The gentleman in
question read with feelings of sorrow
the news of his own sad end, and ven-
tured to write a letter 10 the editor. say
ing mildly that he had not been shot, and
was, to the best of his knowledge, alive
and well. To his surprise, the edit Or
only reproved him fop his audacity in
contradicting a par put in on excel
lent authority. Mr.. Gason took train
for Dublin, and. presenting himself in
the editorial sanctum, personally de-
manded correction of the statement
that he had been barbarously murdered.
The editor, with n beautiful faith in his
correspondent which must excite ad-
miration, refused to be hoaxed by a
pretended Mr.. Gason, the real one
being dead and buried. In fine, it was
not until that gentleman sent letter,
threatening legal proceedings, that the
editor knocked under"

The chestnut worm is getting warmed up.

"YEs," Mr.. Messenger replied in answer to
the young lady's remark, she was rather
fond of bathing, very fond of it in fact, but
he received terrible shock q few summers
ago, while I'm the water, and he had never re-
covered from it. "Myp' she exclaimed; 'did
q snake bite himl Oh, dreadfuli' "No,"
Mr.. Messenger said, ait wasn't that" "Did
he come near drowning. thenm she wanted
to know. "No," he said. sit wasn't that ex-
act,y. but Just as he was about ready to come
out of the river, he saw tramp going up
over the hill, about quarter of mile away,
with his hat, his poeketbook, his vest, his
watch his handkerchief, his stockings, his
cigar case, his shoes, his gloves, his collar,
his necktie, his shirt studs and collar button,
his s-s-suspenders, his cane, and, well, in
fact, his trousers. And there was Sunday
school picnic only half mile down the river,
gradually coming nearer, and he lounged
around among the willows all that day, and
walked home alone in the starlight. And the
fact was, he had never been able to enjoy q
swim very much since that time. ''-Burlin gton

"Here is the little fellow" said a
familiar voice. 'Take him.. Mr..
Stevens" 1 looked up, and saw Mr.
Pierce in the window, holding the baby
out to Tom. In the midst of my excite
ment, had time to wonder how he
came there.
Tom handed me my little blue-eyed
darling, and / lay back, satisfied.
Never shall 1 forget that journey. The
rain fell in torrents, the angry waters
rushed around the bed in which l lay,
holding my baby in my arms, expecting
death each instant. The gallant men
struggled on, the water reaching their
shoulders, everrising higher and higher.
Fences, young trees, fragments of every
description fioated by us, impeding
our progress, threatening destruction;
but God, in His loving mercy saved us.
By degrees we left the direct course of
the flood behind us, the water grew
lower and lower, and the men were
enabled to draw the wagon straight up
to our fathers door. Tom carried me
into the house, where his mother and
sisters were anxiously watching for us,
and loving hands attended to all my
wants. The baby escaped uninjured;
but /, the danger and excitement over,
became unconscious and for weeks my
life was despaired of. Not until long
time afterward was l able to hear
Katie's story Mr.. Pierce had been one
of the helpers until he saw that Katie
was to be left alone. Then he determined
to stay behind, too. The water rose so
rapidly that they were obliged to seek
shelter on the roof before help came.
Here it was, in the midst of the danger.
that they came to understand each
other, and Katie has since confessed to
me that the half hour spent on the roof
of the little house, in the pouring rain,
with the flood roaring around them,
was the happiest she had ever known.
