Too Great u Temptation.

Some years ago very fine echo was dis
covered on an Englishman's estate. lie
was proud of it, of course, and excited
considerable envy by its exhibition. One
of his ncghbors, who owned an adjoining
estate, felt especially chagrincd, but was
greatly encouraged by an Irishnlan who
went over the lands with the hope of dis.
covering one somewhere. Flo declared
himself successful in flnding the most won
dcrful echo ever heard, and stood ready to
unfold his secret for large sum of money.
The noblcman listened to the ccho and al
though there was something peculiar about
1t he paid the money. An afternoon was
set tor his friends to come and listen to the
marvellous discovery. ''Hullo!" cried in
stcntorian tones the Hibernlan who had
promised to find an echo. ''Mullo!" came
back from tho hillside yonder. ''IIow aro
you2" yelled one of the company, and echo
answcred IN suspciously different key,
"How are your" All went well until just
before retiring one of the company putting
his hands to his mouth, cried out: "Wiil
you have some whisky" Such question
would discover the character of any rca
sonab!e echo TWAS certainly too much
for the one which had been discovered on
that estate Judge Of the surprise of the
party when the answer came back In clear,
Affirmative tones; THANK you, sir; will
II you plcase." The poor fellow, who had
been stationed at a distance to supply tho
place Of an echo, simply submitted to too
great q temptation. nj U# ~

Square Bolt Heads.

There aro some reforms mighty in their
aggregated Importance, which It appears to
be vain to contend for. 1t Is probable
there is not n man who has worked on the
farm but who would unite with lis in a
demand for square bolt heads In the manu-
facture of agricultural improvements
Bolts naturally rust the nuts fast. When
an attempt Is made to remove It. the bolt
turns In the hole instead Of the nut turning
on the bolt. If tho farmer happens to have
two wrenches, and hands to hold them,
they are of no avail, as the round head can
not be held. Sometimes tho farmer is
from five to ten miles from a. blacksmith
shop in hurry and no time to spare. In
such cases hard words fall from the lips Of
good men There Is seldom b ploW Of, any
kind during It's usefulness but ten times as
much time is lost by round headed bolts. as

Blood In His Fyo.

At precisely 10 o'clock the situation in
Woodbridge street, Detroit saloon, was as
follows: a big man was standing at the
bar with glass in his hand. Two other
big men stood agains: the wall, mad be-
cause he wouldn't treat. A small man sal
at table playing n two-handcd game of
cuchrc with himself and not noticing any
one.
''No sir, won't treat any man in this
place !" remarked the big stranger as he
glarcd around.
No reply.
Some folks could be blutfed into it, but

his beer.

with the terrible creature, the tongue slipt
from his hold, and his right hand was fear
fully mangcd by the beast; but, notwith-
standing the pain he was in, lie lcapt upon

hard into its sides, calldcd aloud for succor.
1t was not for his own life he fought, but
for his poor wfc's. Who can realize the
terrible thoughts that rushed through his

perish miscrably on the road; the world
would say lie had purposcly fled to some
other land, leaving Il lovely and loving wife
to die for his cowardicc and trcachery. At
length, however, to his great joy, his cries
were anawcrcd, and some peasants ap-
pcarcd, but none of them dared to advance.

that entrcatics were useless and pcrcciving
that they carried guns, "lire; if you kill
me l forgive you; only swear to me that
one of you will hasten to B-und tell
the commander how died"
They all, with voice, made tho required
promise, and then one Of them fired but so
terrified was lie, that lie only succeeded in
sending three bullets through the brave
young noblcmans coat, without injuring
either him or the beast.

how firm hold he kept upon the wolf,

was mortaly wounded by the shot, and al

Of 'cm. Do you know, sir, that 1t takes
a frog half an hour to diet Upon my
word, they arc the hardest things to kill
