Catching Deer With Fish
Hooks.

m the Lake Superior Sentinel
Will Hendrick, while out fishing one
day last week, near the head of the bay,
captured Us pound deer with horns.
The young dentist had no shooting-iron
with him at the time, but on seeing the
animal enter the water he cautiously
pulled his little rowboat between bis
buckship and the shore and drove him
out into the bay, where after hard
and long spell of rowing, he managed to
catch him He hooked into the deer's
neck with a couple of fish hooks, and
then with his fish line he managed to
steady the boat until he could lasso it,
which ne did BY throwing the boats

OVERRIDING Cultivation

A farmer tried the experiment, last
year. of raking several plots so that the soil
was as fine as possible, and then sowing
wheat. The effects of this extra care
were not evident in better crop or larger
heads. There is such thing as making
a soil too powdery. If it is a all heavy
soil it will crust over and bake, after the
first hard rain, like Gem mt. We know
lar ner who, alt3r getting his corn
ground in good order, invariably goes
over it two or three times more with the
expection of making ii in better condi-
ton for the growing of corn. With all
his cultivation he never raises a very
large crop, no more and frequently not
as good as do his neighbors with good
but not extra cultivation previous to
planting. Enough seems to be sufficient
for all practical purposes in such cases
and that there can be too much cultiva
ton of the soil when either wet or dry,
is evident to most practical farmers. 1t
is, however, not of frequent occurrence,
and few err in this dire The gen.
eral rule is too little rather than too
much.

New York Letter in the Utica Observer.
Joseph Jefferson has within a few

a creek creeps and trickles down be-
tween boulders and over pebbles; the
slopes are wooded and the precipices
messed; the meager description which
Irving made of the scene of his legend
strikes the visitor as wretehedly made
quate. There is an inn here in Sleepy
Hollow, and the owner was foolish
enough not to build 1t in an old-fash-
ioned style, or stick moss on
it, or even hang weather beaten sign
from it. What he did was to erect

Jefferson act Rip, but he did not recog-
niZe the actor in the close shaven, vene-
rabie old man, who came with others to
look at the place. He mist0ok him for
minister, as .ybody might easily do
and was agreably surprised to see him
drink glass of beer. The gorge did not
seem to greatly interest the man who
mas made fame and fortune out of his
legend. He has grown tired of the
"Rip Van Wrinkle" play and rather re-
senttul toward it, because he thinks
that his success in it has obscured his
versatility.

house several rods, followed by his
wife. In running his left arm struck

mind that he would scare his wife in the
darkness, and drawing his revolver
fro his pocket, he AIMED il towards
the bush and. he shot her in the abdo-
men. She exclaimed: "Oh, William!
YOU shot me-" He turned and said,

To Remodel Princess Dresses.

If you possess princess shaped dress
you can make it quite en- rapport with
the present styles by proceeding as fol-
lows: Cut away all the skirt front, leav-
ing sufficient only for basque about
four inches deep, or peak. The re-
mainder of the dress may keep its form
er shape; but the bodice should be open
in the middle of the back, md eyelet
knots let IN on each side, so that it NAV
placed by tabier OF plain silk, is the
dress figured i or of brocaded silk if the
dress is plain; or, again, covered with
lace The silk tabller should be cut on
the straight, gathered at the waist like a
nurses apron, and cut out into turret
blocks at the foot. showing a futing
three inches deep of the same material
as the dress.
A square lace shawl laid over silk
lining to match would also look extreme
lv well by way of tablier; deep fac;ngs
OF material to correspond may be placed
on each side. For a dinner or evening
toilet the bodice should be cut open in
the shape of square, if it is not so al
ready, and the opening edged with lace
the front of the bodice which fastens at
the back is then covered with plastron
in the Grecian style, pleated in the
shape of a fan, and is finished at the
point with bow. Two narrow scarfs,
proceeding from each side of the skirt,
cross midway up over the tablier and
are tied into a loose bow. The semi-long
sleeves are trimmed with a drapery of
the material and with lace.

DRYING Sweet Corn.

Have the corn clean from silk, cut
from the cob with sharp knife, not,
however, close to the cob. Then turn
the knife and with the back of it press
out the pulp from the ear, and you have
plate of milky rich corn. Butter plates
or bright tins, spread the corn half an
inch thick and put at once into a
moderately hot oven, hot enough to
scald the milk but not to scorch 1t. Watch
it for half an hOul, as you would bread
or cake, baking, turning around the
plates. and by that time. with a knife
or spoon turn and stir tie mass, set the
plates back in the oven and let them re-
main if it is not hot If there is need Of
hot fire in the stove, it is as well to
take out the corn till the fire cools down
in the afternoon, as after 1t IS sea- led it
will not sour If left to stand awhile. The
difficulty most people have, IS in the
corn souring. This is because it is not
scalded st once, hut put in merely
warm oven. stir the corn often enough
not TO Lave it dry fast to the plates, and
by day after il is cut, it can usually be
put into a paper bag and hung near the
stove to finish frying. Or put it into
the back oven af er partly dried. DC
casionaly bit on the edges of the
plates may be brown; if 50, cast aside.
and only put away the white, nice corn.
