He says a beaver always cuts tree, corn
stalk, or anything else they cut, so it will
fall toward the stream, and one never
cuts bad ear OF corn down.
He sets out twenty traps at time,
and has caught during his career as trap
per more than six hundred beavers. He
said that his gum was so attractive to
beavers that he would get the same bea-
yer in another trap the same night if il
should get away. He puts the traps in
the water, chained to small pole, which
floats on the water, and when the beavers
get caught they fight the trap until they
are drowned, if it catches fore leg; but
if 1t catches hind leg, it runs unde a
log and sometimes gets out on the bank,
with float, trap and all.
Beavers never eat fish, as is supposed
by some, but eat bark, roots, corn, wheat,
oats, etc. The sweet gum is their favor.

very strong, about an inch and half long
and one half inch thick. Their long
tails with which they fight, and also use
for trowels in making their dens, are
boiled and make the very finest oil, the
oil from the tail of a common-sized bea
yer being worth from sixty cents to one
dollar.

BEAVER HUNTING.
Their Habits. and How to Catch Them

1HC1I hdu11S, e-hu AAO" W OsioOh AhCm
A few. DAYS ago, while in jackson
County, says the Gainesville (Ga) Eagle,
a reporter met two beaver trappers from
near Rome, Ga. They have trapped for
the varmints in Alabama, Florida and
Tennessee, and on this trip have set their
traps on all the streams from Rome down
as far as the lower edge of Jackson Coun-
ty. They had caught sixteen beavers in
one week in Jackson County alone. They
caught five one night and four another,
weighing from thirty to one hundred and
ten pounds each. Some of the finest skins
were five feet wide.
One of the men informed us that he
had been trapping beavers for ten years,
and found it very profitable and to pos
sess quiet charm Tor him. He uses a
gum which he says will draw a beaver
more than mile. The same family, he
says, will use it for ten miles up and
down stream, and that the current re-
port that beaver will cut its own leg
off to get out OF trap is mistake. He
says that large beaver will cut small
one loose, but it is impossible for one to
cut itself loose, their neck joints being
only about three-eighths to one-half inch
long. He packs the meat in salt, and

Curious Features of the Blue Ridge
Range.

The Blue mountain range, which runs
through the State of Pennsylvania, pre-
sents some curious features in it's physi-
Cal geography. It is divided by river
every twenty-seven miles. From where
the Susquehanna river passes through
to the Swatara river is twenty-seven
miles. The distance from the Swatara
to the Schuylkill is twenty-seven miles.
It is twenty-seven miles from the
Schuylkill to the Lehigh; and the Della
ware cuts the hills in twain at the Water
gap, twenty-seven miles further on. A
large lake lies in a hollow in New Jer-
sey, twenty-seven miles from the Della
ware. A person starting from Homes
dale, Wayne county, Pa, to drive to
Bushkill, Pike county, will have drive
of sixty-two miles. It is twenty miles
to Blooming Grove. Reaching Milford,
he will be twenty miles from Blooming
Grove. At Dingman's he will be forty
nine miles from his starting place, and
still twenty miles from Blooming Grove.
At Delaware he is fifty-four miles from
Honesdale, and Blooming Grove is
twenty miles distant. At Bushkill, his
destination, he is sixty-two miles from
his starting point, and yet the finger
board tells him that it is "To Blooming
Grove twenty miles"

SPRING CLEANING.

TITS mornl On leaving home, around glance.
All there is luxury and elegance.
The dog and cat upon the hearthrug he;
My sweet wife kisses me and says good-by,
While servants bring my hat, and coat, and cane.
With 30 much comfort, how could one complaint
'Tis noon! AS to my home 1 then draw near
hear the sound of blows. The atmosphere
Is but sitting, binding cloud of dust;
That tits from carpets beaten, mistrust
And horror-strickent to the house fly.
A scene Of desolation greets the eye;
The carpets up, the curtains down, fires out,
Furniture all upset and piled about;
While, back and forth, with heads in towels bound
With skirts looped up foot above the ground,
And arms all barred, fly creatures-can it be
My loving wife and servants neat see
Tearing about in those outrageous buds,
And stirring up this awful smell of suds,
While in their eyes there CLEANS dangerous Hght7
Great Heavens, tits they! Oh, what dreadful
sight!
The dog, once sca1ded, from them keeps aloof;
The cat has sought for safety on the roof.
And, in the dining room, where had thought
To find toothsome dinner, they have got
A fend of Afric blood, who joys to swing
whitewash brush and spatter everything.
But am not forgot. Ny feast is spread
Out in the woodshed on barrel head.
One slice of bread, plate of warmed-up beans,
S'1ue water in mug, dish of greens.
Dh, banquet rich And, best of all, you see
I've brought fellow home to dine with me.

Timid People.

The New York Herald says: @There
10 class of timid people who are afraid
of store clerks and who hardly dare to
go away without buying something.
They tremble at the sight of waiter
and fee him, and patiently take what he
places before them, never, never grum-
bling. They reverence a conductor or a
brakesman as if he were Prime Minis
ter, and are filed with glory if he only
does not put them off the car. They
always take the poorest seats for fear
that people may think they are selfish,
and if SNOWFALL hits them in the head
they turn and smile vote OF thanks to
the hoodlum who threw it. They are
not Uriah Keeps, but modest, unworld-
ly, good-hearted people, who admire
the saucy practical ones. But away
down in their hearts is spirit of Wild
Bill, and once in a while, when too
much imposed upon, they rise up and
spill things"

Butter $500 Years Old.

At a meeting of the Society OF Pub
lie Analysis, in London, a paper by
Prof. Church and Mr.. Wigner con two
samples of ancient butter" was read, of
which the Chemical Ne,os give the fol-
lowing extract; The first was sample
of Irish bog butter, and it's probable
age was judged to be about 1000 years.
The sample contains nearly per cent.
of.curd, which consisted partly of vege
table matter derived from the bog, but
contained quite enough animal matter
to prove that the butter had been orig
inally made from animal milk, and was
not mere artificial fat. It's fatty char
acter had, however, been entirely
changed, and the glycerides, of which
the fat had originally consisted, had
been decomposed SO as to leave simply
a mixture of the fatty acids, which con-
stitute the acid portion of animal fats.
The butter had, in fact, become
changed into substance closely re-
sembling in character and composition
the substance Of which good composite
candles are composed. The result is
singular, as showing that length of time
combined with exposure TO moisture
will effect the decomposition which the
manufacturer of stearine has TO ef-
