Fond Of Coon.

A Delaware bachelor, who from his occu-
pation-farming-for number of years had
been compelled to eat such cuisine as the
average housekeeper would prepare for the
table, finally concluded to improve his situa-
ton by searching out a neat tidy wife.
Sometime after marriage he remarked one
day that he wished he had some coon fol-
dinner
"Coonl" exclaimed the wife, "what do you
want with coon?'
Why, to eat, didn't you ever eat any?"
No, never did," said she, land never
want to; anything that looks so much like q
dog"
why, my dear, Pm surprised at you
there Is no meat in the world would rather
have than piece of COON"
A short time after he brought home one day
nice fat coon, skinned and properly prepared
it for the cook. The obliging wife had It pre-
pared in the best manner and he ate heartily,
but she did not taste a mouthftll of it. 1t was
brought on again for supper and for break
fast and dinner of the succeeding day. He
was away from homo Mt supper, but to his sur.
prise, for breakfast the next morning there was
that same "Old coon.' A slight frown broke Out
over his face, and, after short gaze at the
carcass, he raised his eyes with the pensive re-
mark: ...
"Oaddie havnt you anything else in the
house TO eat but that coon P'
YES" she said, land plenty of 1t, but ]
saved this for you especially because you are
so fond of it,"
Several years have elapsed since that morn
ing, but he hasn't said ''coon'' once to his wife
since.

The dog which was thrown from the Niagara
Bridge and miraculously escaped drowning III
the rapids is still alive on Taylor's Point.
Food is thrown to the animal every day in
paper bag from the bank, more than 200 feet
above. As it strikes the ground below the
bag bursts open and the dog devours its con-
tents. This singular operation is watched by a
large number of people every day. Clifford
Kalbfeisch, the railroad ticket agent at 'the
place, has devised plan for rescuing the dog
of which he hopes to make trial soon. After
the animal has been left without food for two
or three days, and is half famished, bag with
spring attached to it, and containing piece
of meat, will be let down. 1t is expected that
when the dog seizes the meat the spring will
close upon, and he will BIO drawn up in the bag
to the bank above,

SILENCED.-Madamo Patterson BoRaparte,
the American wife whom Jerome Bonaparte
discarded at the command of his brother, the
great Emperor was noted for her sarcasm.
The following anecdote shows how effectually
she used her power of repartee:
When Madame Patterson Donaparte was in
Vienna, she was invited out to dinner by
Lord ppndas, the British Embassadore, who
had been rather offended in the drawing-room
by the lady's championship of Napolean l.
He thought to take his revenge at dianer, and
got o reply that at the time went all over
Europe.
He asked the lady ifshe had read Mrs. Troll
lope's book on America.
She said she had.
We'll madame" continued he, what do
you think of her pronouncing all Americans
vulgarians? ~r.,
II am not surprised at that" she said.
"were the Americans the descendants of the
Indians or the Esquimalx, should be aston
ished; but being the direct descendants of the
English, il would be very strange if they were
not vuIgarians,"
The subject interested the Englishman no
more.

ed up from her work and exclaimed. "What

"Only May coming in from school," an
Swered Mrs. Lawrence with a smile "She
| can make as much noise on q rainy day as any
boy"
Even so it proved. In few minutes up
came May, face wet and glowing from en-
counter with wind and rain, crimps that had
ceased to be orimpy, skirts pinned up, water
proof and rubber boots in hand
Here am, mamma" she cried.
did you get wet, MayT'
No, Indeed; l couldn't, all bundled up so.
1t was fun. l don't see what people did,
though, before the days of waterproofs. The
children must have stayed at home on stormy
days, of course
! do You think sou asked grandma, from
her corner. Il never did, for one. When |
was four years old went to district school
two miles away, hut / think was scarcely
ever absent in summer rain or shine"
| oh, what brave little grandma" cried
May, curling down on the rug before the fire
Tell me how you managed it, please do ]
should think you must have taken cold, get.
! ting So wet"
| We had way" said her grandmother
" You know few children ever wore shoes anG
stockings then, except to church; but as We
were the minister's family, our mother though
it proper that we should wear them. Wher
the roads were muddy, however or very dust,
we used to roll up Shoes and stockings In .
bundle with a towel or two and trOt along
with our bare feet to school. 1t wouldn't d.
to soil such expensive things as shoes, for ont
pair had to last year, at least and then b,
handed over to the next younger child. TIT
older boys and girls would take turns in carry
ing the little ones over hard places, and o two
mile walk was not much for country children
Then, when We reached the schoolhourse, W,
would wipe our feet on the towels, put on GU
stockings and shoes, and be all right again.
Whan 1t really showed or rained, the fur
was better still. If we were caught in
storm, our great tip cart, with cart, with
load of bedquilts, would be seen driving up
about the time for school to close
Come, children, in with your would b.
the cry, and we, five or six of us, with perhap
twice the number of neighbors' children
would stow ourselves away upon the quilt il
the bottom Of the cart have one or two com
forters' spread over us and tucked in at tn
sides and then set off for home
What frolics and giggling there would b
all in the dark, under those quilts, as the ok
cart jolted over the stones, and shook us al
together in merry heap. Along the way w
would stop at this house and at that the end
of the quilt would be lifted, and out woul,
crawl SEINE rumpled little traveller. When a
last we were at home again, the hired mai
would take us out, quilts, children and all, il
squirmIng bundle, and deposit us on the kitchen
floor, to straighten ourselves ont as best W
could,
" 1t was better fun than you can get in thes
days, May" ended grandma, laughing heart
