Berrying In Indiana.

There are least thirty huclleberry
close to It's borders The largest of these
is the Great Schroeder marsh, which CON
talns over one hundred acres. 1t is three
miles southeast of Walkerton, and lies in
three different counties. Near it are the
Baltimore and Ohio, and the indianapolis,
Peru and Chicago roads, which make it a
desirable shipping point. There are two
men who buy all the berries picked here,
and all through the season the number of
pickers is estimated at 1900 to 1900. while
on Sundays increase is made up partly of
people who 90 to pick for their own use,
but mostly OF curiosity seekers,
who, under the guise of pickers, manage to
see more wickedness than can be crowded
into one day elsewhere. In the centre of
this immense marsh, which goes by the
name of "Huckleberrv He'll" there is an
island dotted with few trees where the
regular pickers resort when not at work
1t is covered with tents and shantes used
fof cooking, sleeping and sinful purposes.
Besides these are more imposing shanties of
rough boards, filled with general merchan-
disc to exchange for berries or sell to the
pickers. who, as long as the season lasts,
are ''fush of funds" Still larger shanties
are stocked with liquors, others are filled
with prostitutes, and when the pickers are
idle, and at night, gambling, drinking and
vice are carried on to fearful extent. Chi
cago has vomited its depraved of both
sexes on the isand-women from the vilest
haunts, pickpockets, sneak thieves and
burglars mingle among the pickers, intimi-
dating everybody andaltemptlng to pollute
all. Decent people who go there to pick
berries have to keep in a body, and no
man is safe if he becomes isolated from his
crowd. Fights are of such constant occur
renee that unless accompanied by stabbing
or shooting, they excite no comment.
There is no redress for any crime, for there
is no law On the island except that enforced
by woman who is known as the "Huck-
leberry Queen" A few years ago thou
sands saw this woman in Montgomery
! Queens circus, and wondered at her mar
velous beauty while they were astonished
at her feats of strength. She combined in
her body the grace. and beauty of Venus

A Challenge.

A crack shot at San Diego, California.
issued recently the following challenge, and
called the attention of shooters TO the
same.
l will suspend two dollars by ring from
a second PERSONS nose, so as to bring the
coins within three-fourths of an inch from
his face, and with double-barrelled shot
gun, at distance of thirty feet, will blow
dollars nose and man, at least thirty feet
further, four times out of five. will add
in explanation, that San Diego contains a
rather intelligent community. / can find,
at present, no one here willing or ready to
have his nose blown in this manner; but
have no manner of doubt | could obtain
such person from st. Louis, by express
in due season.
will hit dollar, or anything else that
has been tossed in the air (of the same
size), on a wheel, on pole or axletree or
on the ground, every time out of five.
AT the word, will place five balls on
the blade of penknife, and split them
all
| will hit three men out Of five, sprung
from obscure parentage, and stand within
ten feet of steel trap (properly set) while
shooting.
will break at the word a whole box of
clay pipes, with a single brick, at dis
tance of thirty feet.
/ engage TO prove by fair trial that no
pistol shot (or other person. can be pro-
duced, who will throw more apples at a
mans head than | can. Moreover | can
produce In this town more than sixty per-
sons willing and ready to hold an apple on
their head for me, provided they are allowed
to eat the apple subsequently.
l will wager, lastly, that no one in
the United States can be produced, who,
with double -barrelled shot gun. while
throwing back-handed somerset, can hit
oftener dollar and balf, on the perimeter
of revolving wheel, in a rapid motion
than can.

required. A bet from a steady, industrious
person, who will be apt to pay if he loses,
will meet with prompt attention.

How To Make "a Camp Bed.

From four years experience of actual life
In camp, through summer heat and winter
cold, in fields, swamp and forest, know
there is no real labor accomplished, or enjoy
ment had, without good nights rest. |
will, therefore, for the benefit of my fell
low sportsmen, describe bed that never
failed me, one that nightly contributed to
my physical strength and comfort, thereby
strewing my pillow with pleasant dreams
of peace, home and absent wife and child;
"A camp bed that to this day holds place in
my memory that time can never erase.
First, full-wldth gum blanket; second, a
mattress made after the pattern of a COM
fort; materlal-bed-t ticking and cotton bat
ting; length TO suit the person; width,
twentv-siX inches. The batting to be
spread over one half of the ticking TO the
thickness of two inches, then cover it with
the other half of the ticking, sewing up
sides and ends, and tacklng through with
twine in four inch squares. The mattress
is to be laid on the right hand side of the
gun blanket. Third, a gum pillow, that
can be expanded or emptied at pleasure.
Fourth, heavy grey blanket army pattern.
This is spread on the mattress and the left
half or the gum blanket. Now you may
undress If you wish, lie down, covering
first with the woolen, then with the gun
blanket, tucking the latter under the mat
tress. Let it cover your head if it rains,
and my word for it, you will enjoy a
sweet, refreshing slumber. If you have no
tent or shelter, and it threatens rsin or
snow, take your knife and cut small
ditch two inches deep; V-shaped, roundl
the edges of the mattress, giving it free
descent. With these precautions you have
nothing TO fear; yon will be warm and dry
and the sleep will be sweeter, lulled to rest
by the pattering rain. When you rise,
spread the blankets as they were while you
slept, empty your pillow, and roll close
and tight from the head, and at the foot
you viii find two leather straps ready to
bind the bundle, which will be compact,
convenient for transportation under your
arm or behind your saddle, ready for use
on any kind of ground at the end of aday's
march or sport.

We have all noticed in our walks through
the woods, in the fall of the year or winter
months, how many shades of green diff
ferent patches of moss display. Some
light velvety corn color, others an apple
green, and then again nearer the waters
edge we find the rich green patches still
more like velvet. The time to collect 1t is
when the earth is dry; select the most vel
vet like varieties you can find, and pull the
tibres apart, separating each shade into
bundles, just as you would sort colored silks
before working into pattern. Take flat
sheet of thick card board. and cut an oval
piece from the centre, leaving a hole the
exact size of the picture. Next turn the
sheat on the wrong side, lay glass over
the hole and draw line around it with
pencil, then cut four strips of cardboard
the length of these lines, and after piercing
them with an awl fasten firmly with cords
to the frame. Place the glass in the
square formed by these strips, and on that
lay your picture If this proves to be
perfect fit, cut a piece of cardboard to
cover The picture, place it over the back of
1t, and fix it securely in place by means of
small tacks driven into the strips that form
the case at the back of the picture. After
seeing that each part of your frame is an
exact fit, take two short hair pins, and
pierce the board on the under side some
distance from the top with the hair pins,
one on either side of the picture. The
heads of the hair pins should be left sutfi-
ciently above the surface to pass cord
through, and the points that pierce the up
per side should be pressed fatty to the face
of the board. The different parts of the
frame being fitted and ready for use, you
can put them all by but the large square
piece. After looking carefully to be GER
tain that yoI begin on the right side, which
is indicated by the points of the hair-pins,
sew regular row of the darkest moss
around the oval centre of your frame the
second row should be the next darkest
shade, and SO On until the highest shade
comes next the edge that rests against the
wall. In sewing the moss on care should
be taken TO let the velvety portion of each
low cover the stem of the one above. When
this is finished, ill all the parts of your
frame together, and hang where it will
catch the evening light. You will have
cheap, and think, pretty frame.

Luminous Paint in Railway Cars.

The experiment of coating the interior
of a railway carriage with Belmain's umin-
Gus paint has been tried in England with
considerable success. The English Rail
way News says that a first class carriage
was chosen for the experiments, and In the
daylight its appearance is very little, if any
at al, different from ordinary paint, but du-
ring the time the carriage is exposed to the
light the paint is rapidly absorbing the
daylight, only to give forth the same the
moment the carriage is travelling in the
dark. AT first the light emitted is only
slight, not that the paint is any different in
It's Illuminating powers, but the pupils in
the eyes ofthe traveller have not been accus-
toned to the light, for, as the journey pro-
ceeds. the carriage appears to be COM
pletely lighted up, so much so that the
passengers are enabled easily to recognize
the features of their fellow travellers, while
the time by watch is clearly discerni-
BILE. It's thought that for trainsrunning long
journies, with tunnels occasionally interven-
ing, the paint will be very valuable, mas
much as the oil and gas can be entirely
abandoned, and the great weight at present
experienced avoided. How the paint illum-
ination would work on dark, cloudy days
does not appear.

A. New Fashion.

Ii is fashionable now to stoop. This is
not a metaphor, meaning that women are
a little more than ever stoopingt frivolity,
but the literal truth. The midsummer
freak of metropolitan bellies is nothing less
than to curve their spines and droop their
shoulders, until they look like hopeless
consumptiyes. A girl with a naturally
flat breast is considered mighty lucky. ard
she no longer supplies an artificial round
ness, but is proud of her lack of womanly
development. There is no use in remind
ing her that her deficiency is not charming
to masculine eyes; she will follow the
fashion, no matter how foolish it is. The
idea is that hollow chest is indicative of
maidenhood. Women who are by nature
more amply endowed tiatten themselves as
much as possible with uncommonly high,
narrow corsets, and hold their shoulders
as far forward as they possibly can, thus
rendering null and void one of the best of
their beauties. All, well, what fools my
sex sometimes make of themselves! Some
of our formerly buxom bellies have degen-
Grated into humpbacks in a single week.
Their dresses have been altered to suit the
changed shapes, though | imagine they
were turned hind-side before. The sim
pletons remind me of the pictures in the
old reading books, illustrating the good and
bad posture at a desk-a boy with pro-
truded chest and erect head which is like
the belle as she was, and another boy
bumped over his book, which is like as she
is. 1t is to be hoped that this ldiocy will
be of short duration.

n DOggerel,

AS master Johnny Megill was walking
down NJ street, the other day, with
dog in tow, he was hailed by master
Tommy Gilpin as follows:
"HI there, Jack, what yer goln' ter do
with that there dOrg2"
Use goin' to take him down ter the
river and drown him.
''Hol' on; less have some fun with him
first. I've got two old oyster cans in the
barn, and well take him into the house
where he can't get away, and hitch 'em
on"
This was speedily agreed to by Jack.
Mrs. Gilpin was out calling, Lizzie was out
too, and SC the boys mad full swing. They
hItched on one can TO the narrative of the
canine and then let him loose. The parlor
door happened to stand ajar, and for this
the dog made. Then there was havoc
wrought. The scene that met the eyes of
the boys as they looked in was unique and
varied, for the air was filed with dog, plas
ter bust of Shakespeare, oyster can, Gus
pIdore and finally the dog run his tore feet
through the what-not and sowed the brio u
brac it contained in broadcast confusion on
the floor. This was accompanied by vocal
music from the dog.
The boys cut off the can, shut the dog
in the parlor and went off fishing, and
neither of them got home till late at night;
and Mrs. Gilpin tells the sympathising
neighbors that she don't see how in the
world that dog got into the room, foI
every door and window was shut tight.
Tommy and Johnny had the fun of
drowning the dog the next day by Mrs. G s
orders
