A CUNNING ToAD.-Mr. Charles
White. of Newcartle, n. H., has al
brood of chickens which have the run
of portion of the yard, the old hen
being shut up. The chickens are fed
with moistened meal in saucers, and
when the dough gets little sour it|
attracts large numbers of flies. An
observant toad has noticed this, and
every day along toward evening he|
makes his appearance in the yard,
hops to a saucer, climbs in, and rolls
over and over until he is covered
with meal, having done this, be
awaits developments. The flies, en-
ticed by the smell, soon swarm round
the scheming batrachian, and when
ever one passes within two inches or
so of his nose his tongue darts out,
and the fly disappears and this plan
works so well that the toad has taken
it up as a regular business. The
chickens do not manifest the least
alarm at their clumsy and plymouth
ed playmate, but seem to consider it
quite lark to gather around him and
peck off his coat of meal, even when
they have plenty of the same sort in
the saucers.

How an In;;inn Boy Si!oOts

Tho remarkable shooting OF the
young Ncz Perces IadiLn bry, Otto,
was witnessed by large audience
II those interested in rid, shooting.
The most remarkable feature Of tho
exhibition WAS tie lightning quick
ness Of the boy. But very few Of the
attempts failed. The first shot was
at a five cent piece on the head OF u
figure representing a man, aud was
hit, the distance being fifteen PAGES.
The next Was the cutting Of string
that suspended figure at tho iear
Of the stage. Tho rifle was picked
up from the stage by the lad after
he had turned o somersault, and the
shot WAS fired almost instantly. Tho
most remarkable shot Of tho evening
was accomplished by the use OF Pc
culiarly placed appliances in the fol-
lowing manner: In u small steel
frame u pistol barrel was suspended;
behind the barrel u rozor Ind botn
fixed, and on either side Of it WIS
suspended glass ball. The boy
was .hon taken TO the front Of the
stage and blindfoided, with lis face
to the audience. At the command
about face, he turned, raised his ri
flo, and, after only q moinentary hos
ita,ion, fired. The ball passed throI'
the pistol, and was split by the ra'
zor, aud each glass ball was broken
by half the bullet. This shots said TO
be due to tho boys wonderful gilt OF
tho power Of location. The prcc;s-
ion OF tho aim is secured by taking n
position directly in front OF the OBJ
ject, and aim is taken by n certain
pressure OF the rifle stock against the
shoulder and cheek .-Ex.

coal bug has been discovered. 1t is
now found in great quantities in coal
and threatens to undermine many
coal beds. Millions Of these inst c.s
arc sometimes revealed by the mi

Each bug is about the riz, ola head Of
aneedle. They work their way up
from tho bottom OF coal veins to the
top, making holes in tho coal, and
rendering it almost unfit for use.
The more insects thcie arc in coal the
quicker it burns. The cracking, hiss.
ing noise which is often noticed when
coal il frat put upon the fire is
caused by the death struggle OF these
insects.
