The Baby at Sea.

Some OF the passengers were very mis-
cradle in their berths below, but baby,
all unconscious Of danger, seemed, as
usual, to thoroughly enjoy the various
ludicrous incidents and small catastro-
Plies that always occur on these occa-
sions. There was good deal of loose
water flying around, and not much room
on deck, with all the boats on board. A
snug place was therefore found for her
inst inside the deck-house door, where,
tnveloped III macintoshes, she fairly
screamed with delight as the men slith-
cred and slid and fell about on the slip
perry decks. 3 She thought ii especially
amrsing when the cook opened the meat
safe and o leg of mutton flew out in his
face, striking him on the chest and COM
pletely knocking him over. The cooks
boy was busily engaged at thes same time
in the vain pursuit of CARTS. turnips
and potatoes that broke loose from the
vegetable bunkers and were floating
about in the lee-scuppers, while a few
poor, misunderstanding, draggle- tailed
.ocks and hens sought shelter beneath
the sails, and completed the discomfort
and confusion. One, of the hen-coops

~ wi" sAOAA AAVtoOeOA W @sss0ssss>SSs
An octogenarian, OF Dresden, had
been troubled, during complaining
time, by the crows stealing the corn
planted. The usual resort to scarecrows
was failure even, and nothing seemed
to keep them away. One day old Rube
Davis, the late famous rattlesnake man
of Lake George, was making visit to
the Dresdenite. The latter was telling
old Rube of his trouble with the crows,
when the rattlesnake man asked what
the Dresdenite would give him If he
would furnish protection to his corn.
A sum was named, which old RUDE
accepted and took his departure, prom
ising to be on hand the'next compliant
ing time. Nothing was thought of it
until the next season, when old Rube
put In an appearance.
He took from his pocket six live rattle
snakes, which he handled with as much
freedom as if they had been kittens.
The old fellow then asked when corn
was to be planted, and, being informed
that the job would be finished that very
day, herepaired to the cornfeld. There he
made six little houses or dens, covering
them with fiat stone. These dens were
situated il. different parts of the corn
field. The cawing of the crows could be
heard, the birds seeming to be on the
watch for the mems departure. Old
hetc non placed a snake in each little
den, and utterin9 words to the reptiles,
which he always said they could under.
stand. the men left the field. vol
They had scarcely passed through the
opening in the stump fence before the
air was filled with crows, all bound on
foragIng expedition. The men watched
the result at distance. Down went
the crows into the cor. field, when the
work Ct slaughter began. The snakes
left the dens and, cautiously approaching
the unsuspecting birds. they were soon
enabled to wind their horrible folds
about the crows, necks, when the work
OF killing them was almost instantane-
ous.j Sometimes crow would raise a
few feet from the ground, with the
snake tightly bound about its neck,
when it would soon tumble to earth,
dead. INK, ~, l.g
The work Of destruction went on,
however, and before the sun set that
night the snakes killed seventy-three
crows. We defy anybody to tell more
remarkable snake story than this. Snake
stories are very thick nowadays, but we
are sorry to say at most of them are
very thin. Whitehall Times. 2

Monkey and Dog Time.

Moore had a big fighting stump-taii
bull dog by the name of Rather, and
one day little Italian came along with
an organ and monkey, and as the
crowd gathered around, he asked theman
if his monkey could fight. '.Oh, yes; ne
fight" said the Italian. "Will he fight
a dogp'' said Moore oh, yes. heIfiSnt
dog he whip dog quick" said the
Italian. Moore pulled out five dollar
bill, and said, 'I'll bet you this that I've
got a dog he can't whip" The little
fellow covered it with another five, and
the money was handed over to stake
holder, and they went through to the
back yard, followed by half the folks in
the little town. There lay the dog on
the grass asleep, and at the word the
Italian tossed the monkey upon him.
In less than jiffey the little brute had
his teeth and his claws fastened Ikea
wise in the stump of that dogs tail and
was screeching like a hyena. Tnc dog
gave but one astonished look behind as
he bounded to his feet and made tracks
for another country. The monkey held
on until Rather sprang over a ten-rail
fence at the back of the garden, when
he suddenly quit his hold and sat on the
top rail and watched the dogs fight
with chatter Of perfect satisfaction and
danced along the rail with delight.
The crowd was convulsed. They
laughed and roared and hollered tu-
muliuously, all but old man Moore,
whose voice could be heard above all
others as he stood upon the fence and
shouted: 'IIere, Rather; here, here!
Here, Rather, here! Here, Rather,
here!' But Rather wouldn't hear.
Rather ratified on and on, across field
after field, until he got to the woods and
was gone from human sight. The little
ately, and walking up to Moore said:
your dog not well to-day; may be your
dog gone off to hunt rabbeet Your dog
no like my monkey-he not acquaint.
May be ven come again next year he
come back and fight some more. Ven
YOU look for him to come back?"
Moore gave up the wager. but he as
serted soemniy that Rather would have
whipped the fight if he hadn't have run,
1.-THE surprise, gentlemen, the surprise
was what done it." said he, ''for that
dog has whipped wild cats and bear
and a she wolf and every dog in ten
miles of Watkinsville.' And all that
evening and away in the night and early
next morning an inviting mournful
voice, could,be heard at the back of the
garden calling '.Rattler, here, Rather
here,' and three days after a man
brought Rather home, but he had lost
his Integrity, and never could be
induced TO fight apythiqn more.-Biu
Arp, IN .dtiaRta Constitution.
