WINDOW GARDENING The six
ternth annual flower show OF the
society for promoting window gar
dening among The working Glasses Of
~ Margaret and It. Johns, Westmin-
ster, was beld in the college garden of
Westminster Abbey. One hundred
and thirty money prizes, ranging
from los. to 2s., were competed for.
The competitors, 10 make themselves
eligible, brought their pet flowers SIX
weeks ago to be sealed by the com.
mittGe. Nine hundred and fifty ex-
hibitors, Of whom nearly two-thirds
were children, were represented in
the show tent, Fuchsias we're the
most striking plants exhibited, seve-
raj tail well-trained specimens being
noticeable. The flowers were all
grown i'll Westminster, many Of them
coming from the poorest districts.
The Duchess of Northumberland,
Countess Brownlow, and Mrs. Brad
ley contributed beautiful cut flowers.
1t was ut this show that the late
Dean Stanley made his last public
appearance but one prior to his
death. The Earl of Shaftesbury
distributed the prizes in the evening,
and touchingly referred to the great
loss suffered in the death of the late
Dean, OF whom he 81 okr in terms of
the highest praise. With respect to
the cultivation of flowers nothing
tended more to refine the human IN
teIIect and teach the human heart,
1t taught the poorer children that
cleanliness was goodfor flowers, there
fore, for themselves. II also tended
to refine their taste and give them
something beautiful to look upon.
The love of gardening was inherent
in children. He Lad often seen in
the courts and alleys of London
some of the dlrtiest children endea-
vouring to make what. they called q
garden, which when made would
consist of sticks crowned with cab
bage leaves, stuck in the cracks Of
the flag stones. DR.. Bradley, the
Dean of Westminster, in returning
thanks to Lord Shaftesbury for pre-
siding, said the society did Sood
work by bringing something of the
beauty of the outer world into the
homes of the poor.-TimeS.

A Squirrel Kills q Rattlesnake,

A story so strange that it seems al
most incredible comes from the ZOolOg-
ical Garden. but it Is nevertheless true.
A few days ago 4 little squirrel killed Il
rattlesnakc which was about TO devour
it, and thus the aggressor became the
victim. 1t is customary to place live
or the squirrel in the dens of the rep
tiles. The snakes, when they are hun

and seemed to understand that it would
soon be food for the disgusting creature.
Slowly but surely the rattlesnake
crawled toward the squirrel, but the
bunnie quickly jumped ON perch above
tho deadly reptiles head. The long.
flat head was raised upon the perch,
and the forled tongue spit forth its
venom. But the squirrel, with a sudden
spring, alighted on the back of the
snake and bit off one Of his rattlcs The
wounded reptile wheeled quickly round
and struck the little hero a fearful blow,
breaking the right hind leg. Brave
little fellow, once more he leaps be-
yond the reach of his maddened foe.
Another spring and the squirrel was
triumphant. He caught the snake be-
hind the head, and wit In one firm thrust
of his sharp, white teeth decapitated
the Shiny monster and fell exhausted by
the wiggling mass; but the battle had
been won and the snake was dead

A Titled POisOncr I'm Italy.

Count Faella, of Imola, is fully enti-
tied to take rank among eminent GRIM
inals. Some months ago n priest of I'M
ola mysteriously disappeared, and was
sought for weeks in vain. Atlength,
after careful search in all the disusel
wells of the district, his body was found
in n well recently filled up on the prop
erty of Count Faella, very well known
landowner of the district. Some slight
suspicion had rested on him, owing to
his leaving Imola soon after the priests
disappearance. When the priests body
was found the Count was ut once ar
rested; and several circumstances have
since become known which seem to
show that the priest was only one of
many victims. The Count made toxi-
cology special study, and had alb
stractcd books on the subject from the
public library; and after his arrest Il
number of bottles containing different
poisons were found in his rooms.
Some months ago he invited friend
to take glass of vermuth with him,
and very shortly after the friend was
seized with violent pains and died Af-
ter his death Count Faella presented a
bill for $500 francs to his heirs, which
was duly paid. 1t is now believed that
the vermuth was poisoned, and the body
Is to be cxhumed and examined.
He is charged with several other mur-
ders; and among his papers were forged
bills and some genuine ones accepted by
well-to-do people of the town, and since
five other hidden wells or pits have been
found on his estate, his former friends
are asking each other which was in
tended for them, and who would have
been the first for the vacancy. The the
ory of madness has been set up in de-
fense, and a near relative of Count
Faella has been found to have died in q
lunatic asylum.-jSt. Jdmes's Gazette.

Wild Horses I'm Australia.

Horses which, escaping now and then
from the paddocks of colonists on the
edge of the settled districts of Australia,
have made themselves at home in the
freedom and abundant pastures of the
interior, have multiplied to such an ex-
tent that, Notwithstanding the numbers
captured or shot every year, it is esti-
mated that there are something like
100000 of them in the two most pop,,-
lOus colonies-Victoria and New South
Wales-or roaming the plains immedi-
ately contiguous to their borders. TO
Europeans the proposal to have days
horse-shooting sounds inexpressibly
barbarous; but the Australian farmers
near the interior regard the troops of
wild horses which may often be seen
trespassinG on their inclosed lands as
vprmin. They do not possess any of the
qualities which often make the wild
horses of the South American plains
valuable, and, beside destroying veget-
alton which might be made to support
more valuable life, they not infrequently
tempt the settlers horses to join them
and adopt Il vAgabond life. Worse than

4 Remarkable Hen.

Joe Grimes, a well-known citizen Of
Hardin County. near Stephensburg.
told Commercial reporter yesterday
that he had on his place a common dung
hill hen which was twelve years old, and
that she had laid an egg every day ex-
cept about two months of each year
since her first, and that during these
two months she had raised An average
of twenty-five chickens per annum. she
sings as cheerfully now, and cackles al
loudly while at her work as she did
eleven years ago. when she first began
the discharge of her important duties.
At this rate this her, at eleven years,
must have laid 1855 eggs, which. at
fifteen cents q dozen, would have
brought 1884, and would have raised
275 chicks. which, at 80 per dozen,
would have brought $6S. IS, makiuw q
total Of S10S. 20, from which take % per
annum for keep, or say S24, and there
is left as clear profit $S4.2 Who can

AT the close of the Revolutionary
War the Maryland Legislature passed .
law giving to the heirs Of officers Of the
Maryland line killed in battle fifty Scres
of land, without patent, and it was pro-
vided that no taxes should be assessed
until the lands were transferred by the
heirs to other parties. Most Of the
lands were located in what is now Gar.
rett County, and were only valuable for
the timber growing upon them. The
heirs. being unable to sell, took no steps
to secure their titles, and it Is alleged
that the present owners hold under
