Nice Puppies.

"Did you ever hear about John Os-
born and his setter pups ?"
"John Osborn ran for Sheriff in st.
Paul, Mimi, and while he was working
all the boys with his good nature he had
frequent calls, and whenever man with
a fancy for field sports came, the talk
always fell upon beautiful setter and
her fine puppies.
"'Nicc puppies, john
Yes, bully puppies, amt they?'
"'Ihcy are the most beautiful setter
pups ever SAW anywhere.
"Thcn the candidate for Sheriff would
take the man aside and, in confidential
tone tell him:
"'You just wait till after election and
I'll give you one of those pups.
"This thing had been going on for n
.ouple Of weeks, and one evening man
shut the door and left the house with the
promise of II pup lingering in his ear,
when Mrs. Osborn asked:
"'John, how many puppies are
there?
Five. Why?'
"'Wcli, WAS thinking that tonight,
you had promised the twcnty-third

&j5C,

The value of the herd is asccrtaincd
/ by the number and size of the teeth
Dealers mount especially fine specimens
Of the skull, but the greater number have
no other value than that Of the ivory
they contain.
The wages of the hunter depend, of
course, upon his good fortune in finding
the game. One of the most expert of
these gives as instances of successful
hunts the items of three days work
which yielded thirty-ninc dollars and
seventy-five cents; of six days with
yield Of twenty dollars and ten cents, and
Of eight days hunting which netted
forty dollus and twenty-five cents.
Without speaking of those enemies of
the "'gator who hunt him for sport
there are about two hundred men in the
State OF Florida who make n business
and try to make a living by capturing or
killing him. Very many have eaten alli-
gator-steaks from simple curiosity to
learn its flavor; but many more eat it be
cause it is che cheapest and, oftentimes
the only meat they can afford. The
flavor when it is fried or broiled is that
of beefsteak plentifully supplied with
fish gravy, while the fore-lcgs roasted
taste like mixture of chicken and fish,
and have delicate fibre.
Very methodical in his habits is the
alligator, and very suspicious of any
thing new around his home. When he
starts out in search Of food it is invaria-
bly, an hour after the tide has begun to
ebb, and he returns about four hours af-
ter low water. If he has land journey
to perform, he goes and comes by the
same route, never deviating from it until
he sees evidence that strangers have
trespassed upon his domain. He lives
on the banks OF some stream, for he has
decided objections to stagnant water,
and to make his home he digs hole at
least twelve inches below the lowest
level of the water. This hole is perfect
| " straight, although on an incline, and
from twenty to thirty feet in length,
terminating in chamber sufficiently
large to admit of his turning in it.
There he or she dwells alone, save when
the female is caring for very young
lrood. in which case the room is con-
verted into nursery. Full-grown alli-
gators not only do not occupy
the same hole, but they will not live
near each other.
The alligator usually lays her eggs
about the first of July, and during the
month of June she is busily engaged in
preparing the cradle for her young.
Selecting place on the bank of some
stream or creek, she begins work by
beating hard and level with her tail an
; earth platform about six feet square.
She scrapes together with her fore-fect
oftentimes from distance of fifty yard'
) from the proposed nest, dried grass
: sticks and mud until fifteen or twent!
! cubic feet of the material is in place
convenient for her purpose. On the da.
following the completion OF these prepa
rations she lays from thirty to fifty egg
on the prepared ground, and piles owe
them dried grass and mud deftly worke'
in with sticks until mound SIX feet Il
diameter and three feet high has beel
/. raised. The surface Of this is quicki..
, hardened by the sun, and, in order tina
it may be as nearly air-tight as possible

Holding Power OF Nails.

The extensive use to which nails and
screws are nut in construction lends con-
siderable interest 10 any records OF OK
perience tending to discover their hold
ing power Haupt, in his Military
Bridges" gives table of the holding
power of wrought.iron lOd nails, Y to
the pound, and three inches long. The
nails were driven through 1-inch board
into block and the board was then
dragged in direction perpendicular to
the length of the nails. Taking a pine
plank nailed to q pine block with eight
nails to the square foot, the average
breaking weight per nail was found to be
$50 pounds. Similar experiments with
oak showed the breaking weight to be
4l5 pounds. With 12 nails to the square
foot the holding power was 542l pounds
and with nails in pine 1881 pounds.
The highest result obtained was for IL
nails to the square foot in pine, the
breaking weight being in this case 6l2
pounds per nail The average strength
decreases with the increase of surface.

Pacific Coast Mining Stocks.

A writer in llorpnr's speaking of silver
mining stocks ON the Pacific coast says:
The aggregate value Of the mining stocks
which belonged to the list Of the San
Francisco board ut the period of highest
prices, in the year 1870, was, in round
numbers, S2S2, 0O0 OJh. The aggregate
value Of the same stocks in the summer
# 1881 was but $4,000, 600. There had
occurred shrinkago of S29j, 00O, 900, or
more than fifteen times the amount of
the total value surviving What had
happened? The "buttom had dropped
out" of the famous "Comstccks,' which
had been during their productive period
among the richest mines known to thd
history Of the world. Consolidated,
Virginia" which had been valued at
S75, 600, 900, and which in seven years
produced $G5, 600, GOO in silver, was now
estimated as worth less than one.
Sierra Nevada" had fallen from ST.
0OO, 900 to $S25 ,00Q But the greatest
shrinkage Of all was in California,
which declined from SSi,000,0 900 t
1851, 900, These figures alone explain
II depression the vestigcs of which
though the ruinous crisis is long past
still remain. The stock. gambling mani
had possessed the community, hardl

and when the bubble broke there WI
reason enough for gloom among thos
who had laid mp their treasures in thi

Sport Among Zumi Children.

One day, saws Frank Gushing, in the
Gntury for May, l saw some of the
children playing at breaking horses" I"
One juvenile demon was leading II band
of four or five others, in the pursuit of a
big bristling boar. Lasso in hand, the
little fellow watched his chance, and,
twirling the flexible cord once or twice
rapidly in the air, sent it like lightning
toward the head of the boar. The latter
made desperate dash only to run his
snout and forefoot into the coil, which,
held by the combined efforts of all,
luickly percipitatcd him, in succession
of entangling summcrsaults, into the
shallow river. In an instant another
lasso was dextorously thrown over his
hind feet, and his captors, needless Of
mud and water wild with vociferoas
glee, bestraddled him, and held him
down. The leader tore off one of the
legs of his cotton trowsers, and with
this he bandaged the eyes of the squeal
ing animal, wrapping another piece
tightly around his snout SO MS to smother
his cries. Thus equipped, the hog was
set at liberty. Two of the little wretche'
Jumped astride him, while the Others
