Him.
Paris Letter In the y. Y. Mail and Express.
There is no better amusement, if one
has the run of Worth's. than TO sit in the
saloon and observe the procession of
women that file through. The other
day ! saw Worth come from his place of
hiding to talk with person Of impor-
tance, When he had finished and was
about TO go wall of supplication broke
forth Mr. Worth, you will think of
me," "Mr. Worth, you will do something
for me" "Mr. Worth, give me just one
minute At that moment, for it seems
Mr.. Worlds retirement had been genu-
inc, several employees came in, eager also
to catch his attention. First one, then
another asked him hastily some whis-
pered question. Others, trailing samples
of rich silks, held them inquiringly be-
fore his eyes. Suddenly his face grew
puiplish red, the veins of his forehead
swelled, he closed his eyes, shut tight his
hands, as is III great tension, the gesture
Of a man putting, with great effort, a
restraint upon himself, holding himself
together, so TO sreak.
"rhey are killing me-" he nurmured.
They are all on my back they are
weighing me to the earth" The en-
ployes fell back awe-stricken, the wall
of the women ceased and dead silence
fell on the room. The moment was real
ly solemn, for the suffering of the man
was too evident. In short time he re-
covered himself, said few words and
left the room.

A Patent Dogs Tall.
Washington Star.

An application, purporting to be sign
ed by Col. Maurice Pinchover, has been
sent to the United States Patent Office
for patent for an adjustable dogs tail.
The application claims that all dogs, who,
either by nature or accident, are minus
tail, encounter great difficulties in
turning sharp corners, as their center of
gravity is thrown too near the forelegs,
and they consequently have to go slow
or lose their balance. The proposed tail
can be fastened to the stump, and, as
the dog turns to the right, the tail will
tend to throw his rear to the left, thus
enabling him TO turn easily and rapidly
with losing his equilibrium.

Elk Raising.
Forest and Stream.

A man by the name of Taylor, who has
a ranch six miles west of the head of
Cattle Creek, in Colorado, is building an
inclosure, which will contain over 5000
acres, for the purpose of raising deer and
elk for the Eastern market, as curiosities
for parks, etc. The fence is to be sixteen
feet high. He expects to complete the
park by next fall, ia time to catch the
deer and elk as they come from the
mountains. He will leave gates over the
trails, and is confidedt he can catch all
he wants MIR. Taylor says young elk or
deer will sell readily in the East for 800.

came suddenly upon very large
bear in thick swamp, lying upon a
large hollow log across brook fishing,
ahd he was so much interested in his
sport that he did not notice me until |
had approached very near TO him, 20
that | could see exactly how he baited
his hook and played his fish. He fished
in this wise: There was large hole
through the log on which he lay, and he
thrust his forearm through the hole and
held his open paw in the water and
waited for the fish to gather around and
into it, and when full, he clutched his
fist and brought up a handful of fish and
sat and ate them with great gusto; then
down with the paw again, and so on.
The brook was fairly alive with the Lit
tie trout and red-sided suckers, and some
black suckers, so the old fellow let him
self out on the fishes. He did not eat
their heads. There was quite a pile OF
them on the log. ] suppose the oil in
his paw attracted the fish and baited
them even better than f1y-hcok, and
his toenails were his hooks, and sharp
ones, too, and once grabbed the fish are
sure TO stay.

The New Dynamite Gun.

Recent experiments with the nav
dynamite gun wero very successful.
The gun with which the experiments
were made is something entirely differ
emit from any ordnance heretofore used.
1t is narrow, seamless brass tube Al
feet long and 81 inches In diameter,
mounted on m angle-iron trestle, and
connected with an air reservoir COM
tanning fifteen charges. To this was
united small iron pipe running into
one OF the classmates where there was
steam air compressor. The proiec-
tile was thin brass tube three feet
long, in which the dynamite cartridges
were placed against q percussion fuse
to be detonated by illuminate of mer-
curry at the moment when the iron
head should strike the object aimed At
This dynamite arrow was feathercd by
. long wooden sabot.
The target was q bank of sodden
earth south of Fort Hamilton, and was
700 yards away. Compressed air was
suddenly admitted to the long pneu-
matte tube by pulling the lanyard. An
explosion followed, and, after briet
interval, another much louder rs tho
projectile struck the bank and the dy.
Mantle dug deep hole in the earth.
Five shots were fired, four sending two
dynamite shells into the bank, ono
against the sea-wall below It, and one
into the water near Il. The fi1Eh threw
. shell two miles away, into the wator.
For the first shot the shell was not
charged. For the second sixteen and
three-quarter pounds Of dynamite were
used. For the third seventeen, and
for the fourth and fifth each fifteen
pounds. Each shot was fired with IN
air pressure Of 500 pounds to the square
inch. Every shot struck within three
feet OF tho point aimed ut, and Lieut..
Zalinsh declared that tho gun worked
as accurately and easily % any rifle

gun examining its curious construction.
