One New Years Caller.

A man clad in the habiliments OF the

An Fnrle 0rercomns A Man.

Henry Decker and John House ar
rived at Trenton, N. j., expecting tore
main several days TO fish and hunt. The
next morning at daybreak they took
their guns and fishing tackle and started
for Blooming Grove pond, three miles
distant.
While passing through the woods
Decker separated from House, being
called away by the barking Of his dog,
which he supposed was after a rabbit or
fox. House continued on and soon
reached the pond. He waited over an
hour for his comrades arrival, and then
started back to where they had separated.
BE hallooed repeatedly, but %receivedno
response. He then followed the tracks
in the snow, and after going nearly a
mile, discovered spots OF blood.
HIS frat thought was that Decker had
been wounded by the accidental dis
charge OF his gun. As he went on the
blool spots upon the sno became
thicker, and near q cluster OF bushes
there we're indications that the hunter
had encountered something, for the snow
was trodden for a considerable distance.
House called out again, and o there
came O feeble response, which was re-
cognized as the voics OF Decker. House
hurried on, and as he was about to enter
a deep ravine he saw the bushes move.
Looking closer, he saw alarge gray eagle
perched upon Decker'S breast and peck
ing him in the facs. House approached
to within shooting distance and fired,
killing the eagle instantly.
He hurried TO where Decker lay and
found him unconscious and bleeding.
When he had gained consciousness he
said that he did not see the eagle until
it had descended and fastened its sharp
claws into his back. Being frightened,
he dropped his gun into the snow. He
fought the eagle as best lie could, but
soon became so weak from loss Of blood,
and suffering such intense pain, that he
fell unconscious. His body and face
were terribly lacerated and his clothing
was torn into shreds. He was assisted
back to the valley and will be sent home
to morrow. The eagle was the largest
one ever killed in this section, meas
uring nearly eight feet from tip to tip
of wings,

Sanitary Management Of Swine.

One great fault in the man agement
is to keep too many hogs together in
one shed or Enclosure. From want OF
proper protection in the way ofhousing,
hogs are very apt to crowd together in
punches during cold weather; and,
coming into the sheds wet and dirty,
and being obliged to lie either on old
and filthy straw bedding o. on a wet
and damp floor, their sweating and
steaming soon produce a foul atmos-
phere, and the bedding, not being
removed at proper intervals, gets rotten,
and adds to contamination Of the air.
Being thus packed together in the
building the hogs, in a warm and
peIspiring condition, are next exposed
TO the influence of cold winds and wet.

hours to run in the field among the
grass wet with cold dew or from rain or
hoar-frost, or to be fed from troughs in
the yard. Among the common conse.

to be prevailing, they are almost Ger.

their systems under such management,
are rendered predisposed or susceptible
thereto. In many places the hogs ore
kept in miserable sheds, no provision
being made for proper drainage, the

frequently being unpaved, or without
proper flooring, are constantly damp

quality Of food, filthy or stagnant water,
faulty construction OF houses, and
undue exposure TO atmospheric inlu-
ences, have become proportionately

Snakes by the BuShel.

Mr.. Decker Coykendall owns q farm
near L~ibertyville, Sussex county, N. j.
Last spring, while passing through a
piece of wood adjoining his residence,
he discovered a small hole in the ground,
from which he saw o huge black snake
emerge, and afterward saw another put
its head out. Being satisfied that it was
their den, he took q gun which he was
carrying, and watching the hole a short
time, shot ten large snakes as they came
cut. He then decided to let the nest
alone until cold weather. A few days
ago, in company with two other men,
MI. Coykendall went to the den, armed
with q pick and shovel. He commenced
digging, and after having got about
twelve inches, he came to the snakes.
The hole in the ground where they en-
tered was not wei two inches in di-
ameter, and at no place did the den
measure over two feet in depth; but
several holes ran of i'll different direc.
tons from the spot where most of the
snakes were discovered. There wereno
stones in the hole, and the reptiles we're
simply embedded in the clay. The
snakes when found we're in a torpid con-
dition, aud pulling them out n by one,
Mr.. Coykendall filed a one'bushel corn
basket and part Of q bag with them. He
carried them home, and, after washing
them, placed them in a wooden box.
There were eighty snakes in all, seventy
six being the common black snake, and
twelve the ordinary milk snake. Among
the blacksnakes are several hat measure
nearly seven feet, and some OF them
weigh nearly four pounds.

A Sharper's Trick.

Toby Hughes, of San Francisco,
quietly bought 10, 900 shares of Chal-
lenge mining stock at 81 a share, which
was all hat it was worth. Through a
friend he went through the form Of daily
selling some of the stock at an advance,
being always himself the purchaser. In
a month he got the quotation up to
So. so, though there had been no real
salee. Then he left with several bro
kers bogus order from Flood, the mil
lions man, to buy it at $3. They there
upon purchased Toby's 10000 shares,
and he, with $780, 600 profit, hastily
quilted the city. Challenge has dropped
bnck To 81.

The Swedes have q queer way of Loco
molten at their meals. They often fit
about like flies, from one table to another
and sometimes seem to turn the menu
topsyturvy when they order a repast. It
is no rare thing to see them begin with
cheese and biscuit. next proceed to ham
and salad, with a slice of meat to follow,
and then suddenly start up in the mid.
dle'of their dinner to swallow, while they
walk about, a plateful of pea 8 up. A
habit which they have of beginning each
repast with what they call a "emorgos"
not merely leads to much untidiness at
mealtime, but makes them seem con-
tented to live on bits and scraps. The
smorgos consists of little dishes, such as
slices of smoked reindeer, and caviar,
and sardines, with pickles, cheese, and
other whets provocative of thirst. These
are ished out with a fork of general
utility, and laid on plump pieces Of rye
cake. thiokly smeared with butter, which
serve by way Of plate. Then they are
bitten into, regardless OF the fragments
which may fall on other dainties (for
your true smorgos eater seldom sits to
his repast), and they are finally washed
down with a glass or two of spirits which
stand handy by their side.

The Wonderful Man without Limbs.

Mr.. Kavanagb, the Irish member Of
parliament whose lack of arms and legs
is accompanied by a plentiful supply of
brains, had in his youth a very sorrow
full life, After the early death of his
father and mother, he was under the
control of his two elder brothers, who,
mortified by his strange deformity, are
said to have secluded him in the country
from the sight of mankind. The boy,
full of intellectual zeal and manly spirit,
would not allow his mind to rust or grow
morbid and, when after several years
his brothers died, leaving q very large
estate to his guidance, he emerged from
his library a rarely cultivated and bril-
liant man with a brain and will so train.
ed that it was a very easy matter to him
to grasp practical life and affairs. SO
delightful are Mr.. Kavanagh's intellec.
tual and spiritual graces that he won for
his wife a very beautiful and charming
woman. His children are all bright and
handsome, ami he is greatly beloved,
both by them and by his tenantry. In
spite Of his bodily misfortune MI. Kava,

Outrageous Grave Robbery.

The people of Logan county, Ohio,
are greatly excited over the Dissertation
OF a grave near Spring Mills. Recently
the body of Theodore Jones was buried
in a private inclosure on the farm Of
William CAlland. A few days after that
gentleman discovered that the grave
had been robbed. A hole had been dug
at the head, the coffin crushed in, a
hook inserted in the jaw, and the body
drawn out. The clothes were then
taken off and deposited in the coffin. but
the grave was not filled up. The body
had been dragged over the rough
ground, leaving particles Of flesh stick
ing to the corr stubs and fences. Its
progress through the mud could also be
traced. Two vehicles had been attached
to the fence, but the tracks showed that
one had gone toward Spring Mil and
the other in the direction Of Urbana.
One of the ghouls engaged in it has
been identified as a medical student who
is attending the Columbia medical col
lege. Rewards amounting to $500 have
been offered for the conviction Of the
thieves.

Burdette's Reyerie,

How many fond dreams, how many
hopes, how many broken promises, how
many blighted ambitions, how many
protested notes and over due bills, the
old year is carrying out with it. And it
will never come back again, never.
But the protested notes and the over
due bills will come back, all the same.
Yes, sad heart, you may just bet your
sweet boots they will. They will, they
will. They will come bfck in the rosy
tinted dawning Of the new year, a little
big thumbed and dogs cared, may be,
but just as strong and vigorous as evsr
they we're. They will not leave you,
lonely one. All no. Scatter the ashes
of your blighted hopes over the bleak
grave Of the buried past if you will, but
scatter your coal ashes on the sidewalk,
and then men will walk past and call
you blersed, Ond otherwise they will
call you cussed.
