A Comedy Of Errors.

In q homeward- bound Bay View car
the other evening sat four passengers
contiguous to each other-two middle
aged ladies, q gentleman of about the
same stage of life, and a young girl.
They were evidently all strangers.
Now, it happened as q curious coinci.
dence that the three aforementioned
passengers were the possessors of q
bundle each, in size and appearance al
most exactly alike; and, somehow OF
other, these packages had all got to-
gether. One of the ladies alighted, for.
getting in her haste her parcel. but was
soon reminded of the fact by the &C.
commodating young lady, who handed
q parcel to her, with which she hurried
off, thankfully. When the car had
trayersed q couple of blocks the other
lady made the horrifying discovery that
her bundle was the one which the first
had taken. The car was stopped In
short order, and, with a whitening look
at her young fellow-passenger, she
seized what she supposed was the first
lady's parcel and started in pursuit Of
her own. The car ratified ON another
block, when the gentleman, who had
been smiling sweetly to himself at the
incident jpst transpired, suddenly
dropped his smile. for he had discov-
cred that lis bundle had been appro-
priated by the second lady. There was
another passenger the less on that Car
and another addition to the mixed up
collection of people and bundles; but as
the car or its passengers did not stop to
earn particulars, the sequel to this in-
cident is not known. Boston Tr0rsllsy

A Spectator in Stamps.

Yesterday an old fellow from up nea,
Woodford's, or Hope Valley, or some
where in that section, reached Carson
in an old wagon drawn by two lame
horses. He had not seen a newspaper
for three months, and the chances are
that then it was merely some slow agri.

whats the news?" he asked.
Jim Farrell spotted his gait at once
and replied:
"Whole country gone to blazes.
Wheat broke last week in Chicago to
fifty cents per bushel; you can't give
corn away in New York; stocks have
struck bedrock, and to-day postage
stamps are selling for two cents apiece

this for facts? i allowed the times was

Of course in the spring when things
pick up you can get the old price"
II can get three cents for 'em right
from the jump up the country" said
the farmer. Guess FL 60 down and

Inside of five minutes he was at the
post-office, and called through the
window:
"Say, are you sellin' stamps for two
cents apieceP"

"Will they take letter anywhere in
the United States?"
Anywhere. ;"
"Gimme twenty-five dollars worth.
1 can get three cents apiece up in the
mountains for 'em."

The farmer took the stamps and
started for the mountains last evening,
his gray eyes cleaning with speculation.

Removing Large Stumps.

To remove stumps from land that Il
gravelly or rocky is very slow and ex.
pensive work, yet when the farmer de-
sires to till piece of land that has ON
it few scattering trees that are quite
large, he does not like to do so with all
of the stumps in It; in fact it can not be
done as well as it should be to have the
crops grow well, but to wait until the
stumps decay is only to postpone cult.
walton until another generation has
come on to the stage Of action; so the
farmer commences the work of digging
out the stumps. If only hand labor Il
used he must cut of the roots, and to do
this he must dig nearly to the bottom Of
the main part of the stump. This ID
laborious work. A better way Is to use
a yoke of oxen, or span of horses, and
after cutting some of the largest upper
roots twist them out with long lever,
quite large stump can be taken out
in this way with comparatively little
cutting.
When the stump.puller can be had
this is the best. if it is a good one, but
there are few stump pul1ers that viii
lift out large stumps from hard land
without some cutting; there is, however,
great saving of time by having some
thing to lift the stump and hold it up
while some of the under roots are being
cut of, and when stump-puller Is
used, more of the roots are pulled out
toan if the stump be twisted out with
cattle.
There is still another way to remove
stumps, which if done at all, will be
done very quick. 1t is by the use OF
Rend Rock; about fifteen cents worth is
used for each stump. A hole is made
with iron bar under the stump, stop
ping as near the center as possible; into
this is placed the Rend Rock with fuse
attached, when the hole is filled up and
the fuse lighted. This will sometimes
lift the stump out with most of its roots.
but not always, the effect of the Rend
Rock depends on the character of the
soil. If the soil is loose and sandy il
has but little effect, except perhaps, to
split the stump, but if the soil be hard.
stony, or rocky the effect is wonderful.
So in using this material the farmer
must examine the soil and use it only
where the subsoil is hard enough to re-
sist the downward pressure of the Rend
Rock.-Massachusetts PsoughnsGn.

Perils Of Our Inland Seas.

II would rather cross the ocean
twenty times, at this season of the year.
than make one trip from the st. Law
renee River to Chicago on the lakes"
said Captain Ira Brown, an old Lake
Erie skipper. "The annual loss of life
and property on the lakes is proper
tionately very much greater than it is
on the Atlantic Ocean, and you may
always expect to hear of disasters on
the great lakes following the reports of
every severe storm. Lake shippers
will take risks that would appall the
bravest ocean sailor. They will start
from port with vessels that are hardly
seaworthy in the calmest weather, and
more of them are afloat during the
most dangerous part of the year than
during any other time. This is because
the months of October and November
are the most profitable to vessel owners,
cargoes then being plenty and freight
rates higher.
''Grain shipments are livelier as the
season draws to close, and every ves-
sci that will float can command a cargo.
The sailing season is very short on the
lakes, as it is late in the spring before
the ice embargo is removed, and early
in the winter when it again closes navi-
CATION. The shippers desire is to take
advantage of every hour of his time,
and, Notwithstanding the fact that he is
liable to be overtaken at any moment
by storms of great violence, he takes no
precaution that will subject him to the
least delay in port.
"This reckless disregard for life and
property enlisted no interference on the
part, even, of shippers, who are the par
ties most interested, until few years
ago, when a movement was made to
have inspectors appointed by the Gov
eminent to examine the vessels in the
grain trade of the lakes. But from all
accounts, there are still many worthless
hulks plying between Oswego and Chi
cage.
"The dangers of lake navigation are
so great that even the stancbest vessels
are frequently unable to escape them.
Storms sweep over the lakes without
any warning. The November storms
on Lake Erie are frightful. and the sail
ors depend to a great extent on land

binding sleet that nearly always &C
companies the storms obliterates these
marks sometimes for days, and, as
the sea room is limited, vessels caught
in these storms are in constant danger
of going to pieces either on the rocky
shores or on some of the islands that
stud these inland seas.
"Lake Ontario's shores are especial
iy menacing to lake craft during
storms, but, fortunately, this lake is not
so liable to be swept by gales as some
of the others in the chain. If q vessel
heaves to in storm it is almost certain
10 be drifted ashore; or if it runs down
the lake toward the St Lawrence River
it is endangered by the many islands
that abound there.
"Many shippers have wrecked their
vessels in the risky effort to make Os-
wego harbor in q storm. The entrance
to this harbor is very narrow, and the
vessel thatis steered for it and does not
make it is almost certain t1 90 to

Black Bass in Captivity.

Mr.. Thomas Rinek, of Easton, Pa,
has fitted up tank with a perpetual
flow of water, and has placed in it 8
number of bass which he was fortunate
enough TO capture from the Delaware.
The two largest weigh respectively
three pounds and seven ounces and -four
pounds two ounces. The latter's fins
and tail are very ragged and torn, ow.
ing to a fierce attack made on him
shortly after he was put in by the
former. But the relations between all
of them have since been amicable.
The largest one, after few days
confinement, made a determined effort
to escape, and jumped with such per-
sistency and force that he loosened the
wire gauze over the tank from its fast
enings, and damaged his mouth to such
an extent that he carried it open three
fourths of an inch for over two weeks,
and it interfered materially with the
comfort of his feeding. They feed very
deliberately, and their favorite food
seems to be young catfish. When one
of these is put into the tank they will
sort of point it, following its move
ments rather with their eyes, but never
RENTING this deliberate pursuit, and il
is often long while before they make
an assault. The catfish instinctively
recognize their danger, and Immediately
begin their tactics of defense These
are limited to turning tail to their
enemy and keeping their heads in the
bottom corners of the tank and under
favoring stones. As long as they can
hold this position they are compare
lively safe, as the bass will rarely touch
them, except head first.
Recently catfish, somewhat over
three inches long. by his skirmishing
eyaded the largest bass for several min
utes. and finally got his head well
sheltered under favoring stone. The
bass, after several futile efforts to dis
lodge it, at last took it by the tail, drew
it out, and swan leisurely around the
tank several times with it, when, Civ
ing it a sudden toss, he caught it by the
head.-Anlertcan Field.

For three minutes Jack stared at me,
and then he, with difficulty depressing
an inclination to laugh, said:
my darling, how could you believe

is landscapes. Well, 1 thought I'd

"Oh, nothing" replied Mrs. B.; II
