A Spitei'uI Monster.

During trip to Boerland, South Africa, an
| English gentleman and his friends had the
| glory Of shooting a rhinoceros They found
him dangerous beast to tackle, and n diff
| cult one to kill. Sixteen bullets did he car
ry off from the fight, walking for several
| hours and then bleeding to death.
The encounter with the huge, unwieldly
beast occurred at night, by water hole,
while they were waiting for game. Each OF
| the Englishmen was seated with Kaffir SER
want i'll the fork of a tree, looking out for buf.
| falo There were plenty of bushbuck and
other antelope drinking and gamboling at
| the edge of the water hole But the sports
men were determined to shoot at nothing less
| than buffalo.
AT last, the advance of two magnificent
| koodoos, whose beautiful spiral horns tow
cred above them as they walked into the
| pool, caused the sportsmen to forget their
resolution. Both fired. One koodoo fell
the other made off desperately wounded.
One of the Englishmcn was about descend
ing from the tree. A shout from his friend
and heavy football, accompanied with puff
puff, like that of a steam engine, warned him
to remain Out from the dense bush came
black rhinoceros mad with wickedness See
ing the hunters, he butted again and again
the trees in which they were seated. His ftl-
| IL.
at not being able to get at them, the animal
plowed up the ground with his horn.
| Bullet after bullet was fired into him, but
APPARENTLY he was as Indifferent as if he had
been hit with peas. AT length, an expansive
ball dropped on his snout, just behind his
horn, and brought him to his knees Getting
up and stamping the ground he made for the
bush.
AT daylight the hunters followed his trail
which at first was marked with blood. About
mile on, the fattened grass showed where
the brute had rested. The trail led across an
open sward of grass into n thicket. Just as
the hunters were cautiously entering it, a
bird flew up, uttering shrill "Tcha, tcha ~
Out came the beast, staggering as if drunk
Three shots brought him to his knees. But
up he rose, faced round as if to charge, chang
ed his mind, and ran into the bush. The
hunters following. found him lying on his
side and quite dead. The wonderful vitality
of the animal is shown in the fact that he had
lived several hours with thirteen bullets in
his body, and after trotting three or four miles
and bleeding profusely, had retained his life
until three more shots killed him.

Not Tall Enough,

a good story is told of Prince Alexander
of Holland. The Prince, ayoung man of
staid and literary taste, paid visit to Berlin
last summer, and review was given in his
honor by the Imperial Court Military pa
geants form an integral part of every grand
reception in the Prussian capital but Prince
Alexander, with little inclination for soldery,
sat in silent contemplation while the troops
were detiling before him All at once the
Crown Prince drew the guests attention to
an Uhlan Regiment with the remark that they
were " n fine body of men," YES" replied
Alexander, "but they are not tall enough
This reply deliveredwith the traditional Dutch
phlegm, a little surprised his intcrlocutor.
who, however, merely observed, very well;
then you must see my cuirassiers." The cur
rassiers, erect in ther saddle like men. at
arms of the Middle Ages, went by in breast
plates and plumes "Well what do you think
of them?" asked Prince Fritz. "Spendid
men but not tall enough" Still more piqued
than astonished at this unexpected response,
the heir to the crown of Germany exclaimed,
Indeed; then wait till you see the regiments
of the Guard" In due time these magnifi-
cent siX-footers made their appearance, and
the same query fell from the lips of the
Crown Prince. "They are not tall enough"
very quietly returned Prince Alexander, add
ing gently but meaningly, We can flood
our country, when we choose, twelve feet"

With so many to feed no time could she lose.
And SO this poor woman just Hced in her shoes!
I don't mean to say that she slept not n wink
Or never sat down to eat or to drink;
But her work was so constant, the phrase that l
May be reckoned figure of speech, if you

Was she old? Why not very: if she had been

And had worn a fine gown, with the usual hitch,

Warm Stables.

We call attention to this object once more,
because, to the great mass of our readers in
the North and West it is of special interest at
the present time.
Reading and thinking farmers admit that
it pays to furnish warm stables for their live
stock. Unfortunately they do notall put
their theory into practice.
This class of farmers will be interested in,
and we hope, benefited by the experience of
a correspondent of the journal Of agriculture.
He say that on the farm where he was
raised six cows were kept; they were well fed
but poorly sheltered the family had to buy
butter in winter. In time new barn with
warm stables was built; the same number of
persons remained in the family; only three
cows were kept and butter was sold during
the summer and winter. After stating these
facts the writer adds: lit was the warm sta
bling, and that alone, that wrought the
change"
We quote this as a practical illustration of
the truth of the proposition that warm sta
bles not only promote the comfort of the ami
mails kept therein but also largely increase
the profits of their owners

for the last four years upon my Egyptian Sweet

1t produces the largest crops, makes firmer fruit

near Sf-ThiS is to certify that have used the
Popplen Silcated Phosphate bought of you for
two years past on my entire range of truck, and
the results have been highly satisfactory 1t is
decidedly the best fertilizer | ever used and /
have used several standard brands. Ihave tested
It beside good compost from my hen-house and
find where j used the Popplein my crops mature
better and the vines, especially tomatoes, bear
much longer, and the fruit is of superior quail
ty., Where used it on cabbage they were twice
as large as where there was none put. Another
good thing can say in favor of this fertilizer is
that can put my plants or seed in the same hill
with the phosphate without any injury to the
plant or seed. This have tried to perfection.

POpptetR Siticdted Phosphate CODlpdHy:
Gentlemen-I have used your Fertilizer for foru
years past on the entire range of field and garden
crops, and always with the most satisfactory re-
suits.
| have found it especially adapted to the growth
of potatoes and Sugar BEES, and my crop last sea-
son OF over twelve hundred bushels of these roots
was grown with this fertilizer, and their quality
may be inferred from the fact that, in a strong
competition, received six first premiums at the
last fair of the Peninsula Agricultural and Po-
biological Association for the largest and best dis
play of root crops. The splendid mechanical con
dition in which your Fertilizer is furnished, and
its uniform quality, as determined by annual
analysis in the State Laboratory of Delaware
