4 Very Particular Dead Man.

The first group of passengers that en-
tered the mems cabin of the jersey City
ferry-boat New Brunswick, Just before
her ten minutes to u O clock trip from
New York yesterday morning, saw a
well-dressed and very serious looking
man bending over a coarsely clad man
who was bent far forward in . stiff pos
ture, and seemed to be about to fall up
on his head on the floor.
Hes dead, gentlemen said the
serious looking man. "He's cold and
stiff. L found him here just as you see
him. Can any one suggest what ought
TO be done?"
He rested his eyes, as he spoke, upon
1.-the and nervous little Irishman in

replied, ''ye may well be puzzled fwhat

Three deck hands at this minute
pushed the others aside and carried the
rigid form off the boat and into the ferry
house. Just as they were depositing
their burden on the floor, one of the stiff
limbs acquired sudden suppleness and a
foot was planted in the stomach of a
deck hand, while the rest of the man dis
played equally violent symptoms of vi
tality. The deck hands dropped him so
that he fell with thud.

How to Scatter Trouble.

The Bad Boy of Peck's Sun says: l
think when man is in trouble, if he
has a good little boy to take his mind
| from his troubles, and get him mad at
| something else, it rests him. Last night
we had hot maple syrup and biscuit for
supper, and pa had a saucer full in
front of him, just steaming. l could
see he was thinking too much about his
mining stock, and L thought if there
was anything could do to take his mind
off of it, and place it on something else,
| would be doing q kindness that would
be appreciated. / sat on the right of
pa, and when he wasn't looking pulled
the table cloth so the saucer of red hot
maple syrup dropped off in his lap. Well.
you d died to see how quick his
thoughts turned from his financial t-oF-
bles to his physical misfortunes. There
was about u pint of hot syrup, and it
went all over his lap and YOU know how
hot melted maple sugar is, and how If
sort of clings to anything. Pa jumped
up and grabbed hold Of his pants legs
to pull them away from hisself, and he
danced around and told ma TO turn the
hose on>him, and then he took q pitcher
Of ice water and poured it down his
pants. and he said the condemned old
table was getting so rickety that a saucer
wouldn' t stay on it, and | told pa if he
would put some tar on his legs, the
same kind that he told me TO put on my
lip to make my moustache grow. the
syrup wouldn't burn so, and then he
cuffed me. and / think he felt better

at this point the grocery man picked
up a Ere poker, and the boy went out in
q hurry and hung up a sign in front OF
the grocery. Cash paid Tor fat Dogs.

CoonS CATCHING Oysters.

$40 show you that oysters have sense,
| will tell you what | have seen hum
dred times. have stood behind a tree
on Cat Island. in the Mississippi Sound,
many a moonlight night, and watched
the oysters when the tide was out, and
those near the spit were either partly or
entirely out of the water The island is
full of raccoons, which skirmish around
all night looking for soft-shell crabs,
fish and oysters. The oyster opens his
shell to air himself, or maybe to catch
unwary mosquitoes or sand-fies, when
the coon, who is on the lookout, sneaks
up behind until he is near enough, and
thrusts his paw into the shell. Very
often the oyster is extracted, so quick
is the 'coons movement, but sometimes
the coon gets the worst of it. If the
oyster is any ways fly, and manages to
hear the coon creeping up, he waits un-
til the paw Is thrust in, and then clamps
down upon it. You know what grip
an oyster has. The coon, of course, is
caught in a steel trap, you might say.
But if it is single oyster and not
strongly imbedded in the bottom, the
coon pulls it out and hops off to tree,
nhoIO Ao pouHuo inc oS sCeT until the
shell is broken, and leisurely feasts
upon it. His paw is sore, but he has
been successful. and he is satisfied. If,
however, the oyster happens to be one
of the cluster fast in the bottom, the
coon would be in a bad fix. | have
seen at least fifty slick old 'coons
caught in that way and have to spend
the night in the oyster bed. When the
tide began to rise and they saw that
they had to get away or drown, they
would gnaw OFF their imprisoned paws
and hobble away on three legs When
the water got high the oyster would spit
the paw out. I've picked up thousand
such paws. Chicago Times.

Gen. Brisbin, writing in the Cincin-

Northern Pacific railroad, where they
were to be shipped on the cars for Chi

Mr.. De Hass, a very young man. One
evening o military camp had been made
just ahead of the cattle and on the same
side of the creek with them, up which
the herd was being driven. A storm
was coming up and the cattle exhibited
some signs of uneasiness. Mr.. De Hass
sent word IS the military officer that he
had better get his men, wagons, and
animals on the opposite side of the
creek and out of the way, as he feared
there was going to be q might run. "

there came q sharp flash of lightning,

their feet. mount and whip out, +"
cried De Hass, and the herder who was
at the head of the column drove off a
few of the leading steers in the direc-
ton they were to go. All the Others
followed, and the herd was soon in full
flight. The herders made no effort to
check or control them further than to
keep them going straight; they rode at
the head of the column, one on each
side of them swung to the right or left,
and keeping the trail; bluffs and preci-
pices were avoided. and the open fiat
ground eourted. The run lasted about
two hours. when q gorge was being
neared. in which the cattle would crowd
and break their limbs. They were now
quite tired, and the herders determined
10 exert their authority and stop the
run. The head of the column was bent
out on the prairie. and circled round
and round until the cattle became tied
up in huge ball and could not move at
all. In this way they were obliged to
stand until morning, the herders riding
round and round them, and keeping
them completely tied up. At daylight
they were allowed 20 ''open out. " First,
