Don't Bite that Way.
From TIE Detroit Free Press.

From the DefrOt rrec fTeSS.
As the old man came crutching along
Yesterday morning he was hailed by a
group in front of Woodward avenue
grocery, and when he halted one OF
them said:
"Uncle Billy, they say you were one
of the pioneers of Michigan~
ayes, SIR; came TO this State over
sixty years ago. -,
"And you must have seen wild
times"
"Wild enough, l tell you. Nothing
but wilderness here then"
ait is said that you killed thirteen In
dams during your first five years in the
territory"
"Weil, it was about that number, but
| don't care to bgag over the fact. Might
have been a dozen more or a few less,
but / guess thirteen is good enough
figure"
7'And you were once chased by
wolves?"
AZ was. A pack of thirty or forty of
the varmints chased me over a mile,
and came near being meat for them"
"Were you bitten?"
BLESS you, yes! I was bitten seven
times on the right leg and five times on
the left"
"Tbat's what I've been told, and I've
been wanting to see you for week or
two. / want to see how the scar of o
VOLTS bite looks, and if you will show
me one of the bites on either OF your
legs l will buy you six-dollsr plug
bat.n
The old man turned red In the face
and swallowed a lump of something,
and then raising bis crutch on high he
waved it round and shouted out:
'Go on with you, you gang Of noodle
heads! Do you suppose that L stopped
and sat down on log and gave them
wolves a chance to make scars that
would hang on for fifty-five years? Take
your plug hats to Halifax, aud don't
you dare to stop me on tie street

Never Go Into a Place Where You
Would Not Take Your Wife.

A young man in Carson got married
and started for California with his young
wife. As he boarded the train his father
bade him bood-bye and gave him the
paternal blessing.
"My son." said the aged sire, shak-
ing with emotion, ETC., remember
these words if you never see me again ::
Never go into place where you wouldn't
take your wife
The couplesettledin Mariposa County,
and the old man went down to visit them.
He proposed bear hunt, and they were
fortunate enough to track grizzly to his
lair among some boulders IN the chap
paral As the two approached, the bear
reused up and sent forth a growl of de-
fance that shook the trees.
$50 in there and kill 'im," said the
old man, excitedly.
The son held back, further acquain-
tance with the bear seeming In some re-
spects undesirable.
"Count me out" he said.
"Have 1 crossed the seas and settled
in America to raise a coward o. shouted
the father, brandishing his gun.
81 recollect your advice when left
Calson," was the reply "How can I
forget your sage precepts? Didn't yon
tell me never to go where | couldn't take
my wife? Now, how would Sal look in
there with the bear"
The old man clasped his dutiful son to
his bosom, and as the bear issued forth,
exclaimed:
speaking of Sally, let us hasten
home. Our prolonged absence might
cause her naadless alarm -
In about fifteen minutes they had
reached the ranch, the old man little
ahead, and the distance was about four
miles.

Story of a Stone.

John Gardner, tanner living al
Navarro, Ohio, has stone among his
collection of curiosities which he says he
took from the inside of horse in Eng
land in 1882 It is nearly round, is four
teen inches in circumference, and weighs
forty-four ounces-nearly three pounds.
Mr.. Gardner says the stone was found
near the animals back bone in the
abdomen, and that it was not attacked
to the flesh. He thinks it was formed
by the fine dust from mill-stones being
in the chop feed which was fed to the
horse, as in those times the chop con-
tanned considerable stone dust from the
fact that just after dressing the mill
stones the miller ground chaf to clean
the burrs Mr.. Gardner thinks the
stone dust was absorbed from the
stomach by the tissues of the abdomen,
and there collected into this huge ball,
and that this ball striking the heart OF
the animal caused its sudden death, as
it was well at night when turned out to
pasture but dead next morning. This
stone has decreased in weight six ounces
in fifty years, thus showing that the
substance composing it is volatile to a
certain extent. - Cincinnati Commercial.

Among the innovations made by Gen.
eral Hazen is the furnishing to different
sections OF the country special reports
OF floods, the condition of the large
rivers, and their probable rise or fall
within twentyfour hours. There are also
reports made for the Southern States re-
Iatlye to the weather during cotton-pick-
ing tune, the signals being displayed
from the telegraph stations At the Me-
chances Fair In this city there was
an exhibit of all the methods and in
struments now used by the signal service,
also the maps, charts, etc, employed.
and the general workings of the depart
ment shown. Besides the above.
the apparatus used by the service during
the war was displayed, contrasting the
difference with that now employed. The
exhibit on the main floor of the large
building, proved one of the most in
terestlng features of the fair Judging
from the past history of the service it
would be difficult to fix limit to its fu-
ture advancement. New discoveries are
made each year the department is in
communication with scientific men in
other countries, and stations are con-
stantly being located at points particu-
larly adapted for observation. Who can
tell but that in short time the Signal
Seavice may not only foretell disastrous
storms, but be able in measure to miti-
gate them, to offer suggestions for induc-
ing rain In sections suffering from long
continued drought, and to temper the
fierce heat of summer and allay the win
ter's cold? Scarcely more wonderful
would these results be than what has al
ready been accomplished by the service
within the past ten or twelve years, and
the time may not be far distant when
even the elements shall yield to mans
scientific skill and ingenuity.
