Dudes.


lArgonautl
Under the head of "Animal Intelli.
gence" Puck recites some anecdotes
throwing light on the question, "Do
Dudes Reason?" They can distinguish
between brands Of champagne by the
labels on the bottles, and add up the
totals on the restaurant checks which
the walters give them. One Of them,
living on Fifth Avenue, went, while
under the influence of champagne, and
paid his teilor's bills. A dude was taken
to sparring-match and seemedto watch
it with much interest. A few days after
it was seen going through the same mo
/, tons with another dude, and initiating
the affair with considerable accuracy
During this clever piece Of mimicry, il
actually hurt its knuckles on the Others
teeth. A dude OF Madison Avenne
was recently deprived OF its high
collar by its master The grief Of
the poor animal was painful to wit
ness. 1t refused food. and could not be
tempted, even by Albert biscuit dipped
in champagne. On the collar being re-
turned to it. itmanifested lively graft
tude. 1t is said that the genuinenesss
OF dude may be tested by showing it a
buckwheat cake. The sham dude i'm
mediately faints, but the true dude re-
mains for some hours in a semi paralyzed
condition. unable to move A dude,
while walking with another down Broad
way, came in contact with a slight breeze
and was thrown to tho hard pavement
Its companion at once moved to-
ward the sufferer, picked 1t up, set
it on its feet and carefully dust
ed off it's clothes. Some observers
claim that on the face Of the dude thus
helped there was the trace Of an ex-
preston like that Of gratitude toward
its benevolent companion. 1t is said on
good authority that two dudes near
Central Park conceived an affection for
a young lady who, out of kindness, had
occasionally noticed them. Happening
to meet near her door they engaged in a
combat, each armed with feather.
They fought furiously, and the van.
pushed dude has not since been seen.
Puck in no case gives his authority, but
these marvellous stories must be taken
with some grains Of allowance.

An Electric Gun.

During recent lecture in London
before an assembly of army officers, in.
ventors of small arms and other experts,
Col Fosbery astonished his audience BY
suddenly drawing from under the table
a weapon which he had JUST brought
from Liege and which he called ''baby
electric gun" 1t could not be discharged
until brought in connection with the
|, source of electric force, but that done it
could be worked with amazing rapidity,

few days before tired l04 rounds in
two minutes. Col. Fosbery exhibited
its mode Of operation by means of a
small ectric<accumulator secreted un-
der his vest, and minute cartridges con-
tanning only powder and wad Various
speakers afterward expressed the opin-
ion that electricity would ngain revolu-
tionize the manufacture of small arms.

The woman with the biggest feet in

vicinity of Sandusky. Her name is
Fanny Mills, and she is % years of age,

thing of the kind ever seen or conceived
of. They are big in every way, wide,

Mills was very pleasant to the reporter
who called to interview her and meas

easy to see that they caused her great
annoyance, as she wears on all occa-

however, cannot be concealed, as her

Fruit Tree Culture.

L. Instead of trimming up"
trees according to the old fash
ion, to make them long-legged
and long-armed, trim them down,
so as to make them even, snug
and symmetrical.
2. Instead ofmanuring heavi-
ly in a small circle at the foot of
the tree, spread the manure, if
needed at all, broadcast over
the whole surface, especially
where the ends of the roots can
get it.
3. Instead of spading a small
circle about the stem, cultivate
the whole surface broadcast.
A. Prefer a well pulverized,
clean surface in an orchard,
with a moderately rich soil, to
heavy manuring and a surface
covered with hard crust and
weeds and grass.
5. Remember that it is bet
ter to set out ten trees with all
the necessary care to make
them live and flourish, than to
set out q hundred trees and
have them all die from careless.
ness.
6, Remember that tobacco ia
a poison, and will kill insects
rapidly if properly applied to
them, and is one of the best
drugs for freeing fruit trees
rapidly of small vermin.-Na

Red Flannel EaQ.

The Meridian Observer says:
There was some excitement Sun
day about what was thought to
be case of attempted poison
ing at the hotel carried on by
Mrs. NJ. Raden, at the old st.
Bernard stard, on Front street.
1t turned out to be nothing Sc
rious and was probably an ex-
pertinent of negro witchcraft or
voudooism. Mrs. Bette Elliott,
who is the cook at the hotel,
found in the water bucket, in
the kitchen where she was cook
ing Sunday morning, a small
red flannel bag. In the bag
were too nails, a piece of skin,
hair, bran and other articles.
She had drank some of the wa
ter, and used some in cooking,
and became alarmed, supposed
she had been poisoned, and sent
for DR.. Lowry. No bad symp-
toms were developed, and it
was clear that whatever else
was in the bag, there was no
poison. A negro boy, working
at the hotel, was suspected OF
being the culprit and was ar
rested, but there being no proof
against him he was discharged.
