The other day Warren Sheridan
".he cod nosed expert" was stand
ing in from: Of the Ormsby House
when some one took the trouble to
introduce him to clerical gentle
man. After quiet handshaking
the colIoquy opened.
"Are you connected with this
mining snit?" asked the sky pilot.
II own no particular interest in
either of the properties" responded
sherry. ''Bnt Of course if any of
the experts get thrown down, so to

II saw you mentioned the other
day as cold nosed expert. May l
inquire the meaning Of the term 2
"Yes, indeed. J" responded Sherry
with an almost imperceptible cough
There is a sad tendency now days
to mix up the noble and exact
science Of geology with the sport
ing parlance Of the fields. A thor
oughbred dog is only healthy when
he has a cold nose and only reliable
when healthy. The term cold
nosed expert has been applied to
me in contradistinction to those
hot nosed Friberg graduates who
go on theories rather than the re-
sul.s OF cold nosed and calculating
observation. It is term MOI alto

preston may be allowed-with ac-
curacy and reliability"
1t is great pity that God and
nature placed gold where it would
cause SO much unch:istian like

"Unchristian like did you say,
Sir? This is hard word to apply

c. n. E. with feeling. This, sir.

Chicago eat them picked. No matter,
Chicago Is young yet, and will learn

enterprislng n city can not remain for
ever unciyilized. The best way 10 eat
oysters Is in the old-fashioned Mary
land stew. Shuck your oysters, and on

Edible Birds Nests.

Edible birds nests are shipped in
large quantities from Java to China and
the Eastern islands for food. The birds
that build them are species Of swallow,
and they are found in cliffs, caves and
caverns. They are composed Of sort
Of mucilaginous substance which the
Chinese relish with gusto. ltis trans
parent mass like isinglass, mother-of-
pearl or white horn. The stuff is made
by the bird, who, when you open the
bill, has large salivary glands under his
tongue which supply the material. The
men who hunt these nests are a daring
and peculiar set. They have goddess
called Loro who is worshiped by them,
and u temple at place called Rong.

net bag at their side. When one goes
TO work he takes his place on a stage OF
two cross-bars fastened TO the end of
rope, and is let down against the face
of the rock. He grasps the rope with
his left hand, and in his right has rod
with which he holds himself off from
the rocks. Sometimes he goes down
several hundred feet amid the roar of
the ocean and hundreds of birds flying
all around him. When he comes opp0-
site salangan hole CHATS the name of
the bird) he makes signal, and the
lowering stops. He now swings back
and forth until he gets power enough to
enter the hole and find footing on tho
rock he has noted. II he fails, he is
dashed to pieces on the rocks below
The man generally has thin cord fast
ened around his body and to the
rope, so that he can pull the stage in to
himself again. Should this break, how
ever, he has to make bold leap and
catch the stage. When he has got into
the cavern he cuts of the nests with his
knife and places them in his bag, and
when it is full he returns and his place
is supplied by another. This business
is so exclusive that no foreigner has
ever been allowed to participate in it.
Some Dutch merchants once entered q
cave. but they never came out alive, and
the Malays have astory that the Goddess
Loro "took them to her BOSOM" These
swallows breed four times a year, each
time making new nest. The nests
are plucked three times, and so only
one brood is left to the birds. In the
cavern of Karang- -Collong, / have heard
1t stated, there were three hundred and
thirty thousand swallows, and from
them about five hundred thousand nests
are annually taken. The harvest is done
in July and August, November and De-
ceber, and the worst in April and May.
The nests are cleaned and assorted and
packed in bamboo cases of about seven
ty in case. They all go TO China,
perhaps few to America and Europe
as curiosities; one hundred and seventy
thousand pounds 60 to Canton alone,
and about fifty bird nests make a
pound. The first quality of nests cost

sMlndllng the '.Grangers.n

~
The success of the man WHO gees
among the farmers soliciting their
money for his useless wares has long
been scandal and shame. II is not
all the farmer fault. He is like other
men in most respects. Human nature
is much the same, the world over. But
his isolation offers fewer opportunities
for consultation and for combination in
sclf-defenco. A scheme that would fail
in the town merely because it would at
tract the attention Of others, and be dis
cussed by them while looking on, may
be carried out in the retiracy OF the
farmers home. A band of scoundrels
covering house in the village with a
network Of lightning-rods, and then
bulldozing the owner into a promissory
note for ten times the cost of the work,
would fail merely from the casual pres
ence of the neighbors yho might chance
to pass while the work was going on.
Yet this transparent fraud may be sue
cessful when attempted on an unsus-
picious and busy man who stands alone.
Legal technicalitieste tend to dcmoralize
the farmer. He sees some one swindled
by the combined shrewdness of two
swindlers, one of whom is a lawyer,
and he learns TO distrust the law.
Finding his name signed to "A very harm
less contract, he is persuaded that he
has "got his foot in it," and he will pay
out rather than stand for what he
knows to be his rights, fearing the law,
And. at all this, the self-sufhcient mar
on the crowded streets will smile, ant
say the farmer ought to have more
sense. And this is true. We SHOULD
know more than we do. But experience
is slow school, and it is essentially thu
school of those who live in isolation.
But the position of the farmer offer
the swindler better opportunity to es
cape detection. The latter may b.

Fall Flowing.

! There Is mupb difference in opinion
M TO the best time of the year in which
10 plow different soils. MANY farmers
are willing 10 admit that fall plowing
is desirable upon heavy soils, but con.
tend that spring plowing Is best upon
light soils. All are willing TO grant
that the tenacious character of n clay
soil is reduced, and its texture opened
nnd rendered less compact by tho cper-
alton of frost. The Jumps fall apart
and are disinteyratel by the mechanical
effect of expansion, caused by the frecz-
ing OF the water held between the par

Now, Is II possible that this change

A Donkey's Suicide.

II has always been thought that man
possesses one point of superiority, If it
can be so called, over the lower animals,
in that he alone is capable of commit
ting suicide. Mans sole claim to this
sad privilege is now assailed from a
quito unexpected quarter of the animal
kingdom. The Paris PAIN gives partic-
ulars of the suicide of donkey which
was witnessed recently by dozen per-
sons, who are one and all convinced
that the animals death was premedi-
tated and intentional. The unfortunate

Rue du Chardonneret, and made for the
Seine, into which he entered near the
Pont d'Austerlitz. A man who hap.
pened to be giving a Newfoundland
dog bath close by, perceiving that the
donkey made no effort to swim and was
on the point of drowning, dispatched
the dog to his assistance. Seizing the
drowning animal ear in his mouth, the
Newfoundland managed to bring him tc
land. But TO no purpose. The donkey
looked round with his large, sad eye,
and quietly walked back into the water
The dog was again sent after him; but
this time the donkey kicked out so Wig.
orously that his preserver could not ap'
proach. The donkey, once beyond his
depth, resigned himself to the action o.

tain himself. and was speedily drowned

FattcnIng Swine.

II Is generally conceded that there
should be no stand-still period in the
correct system of feeding, but that
growth ought TO begin with young pigs
and be steadily and continuously in
creased until the animal Is ready for
the butchers block. While everybody
nearly accepts the "no stand-still" sys-
tenn as correct in theory, most farmers
in reality keep their pigs during the
summer months on very poor ard
mcager rations, waiting until cold
weather to begin feeding with view to
fattening.
who practice the plan OF
making the most Of the summer season
by regular feeding testify to the decided
advantage Of this system. In very cold
weather, unless the hogs can be well
housed and kept at temperature ol
about sixty degrees, what the animal
eats goes to keep up the heat, and the
food fails to produce the same amount
of fat 1t would In warm weather. There
remains no question but that 1t pays tc
provide warm, comfortable houses fol

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe says
that the novels of the day lack romantic

be synonymous with nawkish hysteria,

an emotion, as a horse is caught with
all his feet in the air.-M Y. Graphic.

writer, is thus described by reporter
in Indianapolis, where he has been Wis

slender build, with bright, rather
youthful face, blue eyes, aquiline nose
and short wLiskers, which cover only
his chin. His hair, which is slightly

him rather the appearance of well-to-

One of the most interesting subjects
discussed by the American Library AS

changing the original title Of book, or
of giving book more than one title.

either case it causes annoyance. AS
