Peck's Bad Boy Discounted.

Carson, Nevada, has developed bad
boy, who is counted on as the worst
boy of his age in the whole United
States. His name is Johnny McGin-
mis-, and he lives on King street. 1t
appears that q few days ago Mrs.
McGinnis started to give her seven
year.old daughter bath. When she
disrobed her by the tub she was horri-
fed at discovering that the young lady
was covered all over with crocodiles,
fish, rare animals, and Egyptian ibexes,
painted on in lasting colOrs. She said
that her brother Johnny had painted
her to get her a chance to 90 away
with circus. The neighbols were
called in and their low opinion of the
boy was unbounded The elder Nc
Ginnis sailed out after the venturesome
lad, and found him in Johnson's barn,
where he was decorating young lad
whom he had inveigled away from his
parents. When the Elder McGinnis
had ceased parleying with the younger
McGinnis the trunk strap which he
brought into the barn had seen its best
days. The young lad made the follow
ing explanation of the affair:
"Ye see, dads been pretty hard up
since stocks went down. and so | fixed
Mary up for a spec. My idea was to
tattoo few boys and girls and have
them travel with the tatooed woman as
children with birthmarks, eh? Do you
catch on? One tatooed woman IS
big thing, but whole family of 'em
would be immense. Twas calkerlatin
to make some money for the old man
but he's so internal bullheaded that he
don't catch on quick to new enter
prises. He wore out n who lie trunk
strap on me. I'll bet 81 that they don
rub them figures off Mary for six months
I used the best blue ink the old man
had. I'd like to catch him asleep
blame me if | wouldn't paint drove
'er government mules runnin' dowr
his back"

Pnegrove (Pa) Herald.
On last Sunday evening, William
Rump and his wife, of Cherryville, af.
ter putting their children to bed, wore
III the front of the house just ss twi-
light was gathering, amusing them
selves in n playful way. The husband
ran away from the house several rods,
followed by his wife. In running his
left arm struck the revolver which was
in his coat pocket. An idea flashed
through his mind that he would scare
his wife in the darkness, and, drawing
his revolver from his pocket, he aimed
it toward the bush, and, when about to
fire, his wife came running up between
him and the bush, and he shot her in
the abdomen. She cxclaimed 90,
William, you shot mel" He turned
and said: 'If did shoot you in this
foolish way, will take my own life,"
and he pointed the revolver to his head; ;
but She caught his hand and beg ged
him not to shoot, saying Il amt shot"
She persuaded him to empty every
chamber of the revolver into the woods
and then walked back to the house.
At the house she met boy and told
him to hurry and get matches. Her
husband heard this and quickly came
to her side, and she then told him she
was shot and he should quickly 90 for
a doctor. On the way he aroused the
neighbors, who went to the house and
found her in bed suffering pain. Three
doctors were summoned as soon as
possible, two from town, and Carpen-
ter. of Pottsyille. They discovered the
ball had entered the abdomen, and
think it lodged in the left hip. The
wound was dangerous one, and the
woman fingered until Monday evening,
when death came and relieved her.
The husband is in a terribly distressed
state of mind. 1t was only recently he
stood near his father and saw him
buried beneath several tons of coal in
the mines, and this double afflictiOn, il
is feared, will cause him to lose hi:
reason. Mrs. Ramp was 22 years o
age and the mother of two children.

An English paper says: A short
time ago it occurred to Mr.. L. II. Mil.
ler, of Singleton park, near Preston.
that the "silo" for the preservation of
green crops need not be n pit or excav-
alton, and he has conducted to q sue
cessful issue on the Home farm, Single
ton, an experiment to the greatest in
terest to agricu,turists. To test his
theory he made use Of an old cart
house, above which was granary, the
flooring of which he had cut away,
with the exception of portion at one
end to serve as platform. The walls
of the building were lined with cement
TO height of eight feet. and when this
was set the filling of the silo began.
Between the 25th of June and the end
of August there were placed in it, at
regular intervals, 15 tons of meadow
grass in wet condition, 15 tons cwt.
of rye grass and clover, and tons 10
cwt. of green oats in full head, chopped
into three-inch lengths; total, "a tons
10 cwts., the produce of seven acres.
The mass was kept covered with slot
ted boards and weighted with 200 bags
containing 1876 pounds of sand each.
These were manipulated easily by
means of q rope and pulley, worked
from the platform. On the 9th ult.
there was no heat or brewing, and but
the very slightest perceptible warmth.
A portion of the ensilage taken from n
depth of thirty-seven inches was of
yellowish brown, and moist, but per-
fectly sweet. A bullock ate some of it
greedily, and a handful put in some hay
was eaten by cow before she would
touch the hay. The silo is to be form
ally opened in November in the pres
cnce of number of farmers and
friends.

The Consumption of Gold.

North American Review.
The consumption of gold for other
than monetary purposes in Europe,
America and Australia has more than
quadrupled in thirty years, and has
quite treblcd in twenty years. 1t is
more than five times what it was half n
century ago. The great mass of gold
which has flowed from the mines has
been absorbed in the same opulence and
luxury of the times which have swal-
lowed up the Hood of gems, great in
volume beyond any former precedent,
from the diamond-ields of South
Africa, and increasing prices will be
quite as likely 10 whet the appetite for
both rs to check it. Five-sixths of the
current production of gold is absorbed
in the arts and manufactures in the
Western world and in British India. A
part of the remaining sixth is lost in
the wear of coins and by fires, ship
wrecks and forgotten boards. What
is left to increase the stock OF gold
money in proportion to the increase OF
population, exchanges and wealth OF
the world?

Score one for the Old Man.

The other day when old Major Sol
man announced his readiness to pro-
ceed in the direction of church, his
wife appeared wearing Mother Hub
bard dress. The old man intently re-
garded her for n few moments and
asked:
Mary, what sort OF q coat do you
call thatp"
.It's Mother Hubbard, Jeems."
''Air you going to wear 1t to church,
"Why, certainly, Jeems. The Mother
Hubbard is all the fashion now"
"Well, I'm glad to know it," the old
man replied, Just wait until l get
ready and we'll 60"
The old man went out into the kitch-
en-, took couple of meal sacks, cut
the bottoms out, sewed the tops to-
gether and put them in imitation of
pantaloons. When he returned his
wife uttered loud cry of astonish-
ment, and exclaimed: "Great goodness!
Jeems, what's thatp"
Father Hubbard" the old man re-
piled.
you're not goin' to wear them
sacks, are youP
"I've got TO be fashionable to keep
up with you. I've got as much right
to wear these meal bags rs you have 20
90 in them bran sacks"
"I'll take it off. "
CAL right, off goes the Father Hub
bard,' and turning away, he added to
himself: "Only one way to beat
woman, and that is by agreein' with
her. If it hadn't been for the Daddy
Hubbard I'd been in a mighty bad
| fix"

1t was the celebrated comet Of 1911,
which was seen by Russian observer
IN August, 1912. The great Russian
telescope at Pulkowa will perhaps inn
mortalize itself by piercing with its
great eye the realm of space where
the comet is pursuing its erratic and
unerring path, dwindled by distance
from the superb apparition that spanned
the eastern sky to hazy speck of
nebulous cloud.

1t is probable that the great comet
that made the year 1882 memorable IN
cometic annals may become visible
again towards the end of the month in
the morning sky when the moon is out
of tho way. But the most powerful
telescopes will be required to bring the
departing stranger 10 view, and the

of the telescope. One other comet mas
