The following bit of wit upon the
part of North Carolina Girl comes to
us from the Greenbrier White Sulphur

society record is brilliant, and though
he has raised many hopes. vet season
after season has ended and the Colonel
has Welded his liberty to none. His

gan the scheme of monopoly, and the
ambitious young belle seemed nothing
loath to accord to him the coveted posi-
ton as chief of staff. 1t began to be
whispered about that the Colonel Was
really in earnest for once in his life

him closest were sure that he was on

Hibernation Of Reptiles.

The Information of reptiles varies
much according to the severity OF the
winter. Many turtles take refuge in
the deep holes of eonds, and DIR. Alb
bolt asserts that in the severest cold
weather he has caught swapping tur-
ties, the musk turtle and the box mud
turtle in deep holes and about large
springs that discharge their waters on
level ground. As fish have been found
partly eaten when taken in nets in mid
winter, DIR. Abbott concludes that the
snapper takes an occasional meal. AT
the same time he does not deny that the
spe les found active in winter hibernate
under certain conditions, and that the
other species of turtle hibernate. Snakes
which live in water do not sleep so deep
a winter sleep as do the black snake
and others which frequent the uplands.
The true water snake (Tropidonotus
sipedon) may often be found in winter
q foot or two beneath the sand of any
spring hole, and is not slow to swim OF
when thus disturbed. This species and
the common garter snake are the first
to appear in the spring. The upland
snakes may be literally broken into
pieces without giving evidence of life,
so thoroughly torpid are they. Toads
and tree frogs, terrestrial and arboreal
animals, are more sensitive to cold than
the water-living frogs and salamanders.
Frogs at the commencement of winter
retreat to the bottoms of ponds and
deep bitches; salamanders to the mud
at the bottom Of springs. All the kinds
of frogs and three species of salaman-
ders have been. found in hogshead

The Gillian Government has deter

combines profit and sport. There are
two or three ways of catching the con.

The Use Or Old Muskets.

The condemned muskets of the Gov.
eminent the Enfield and Belgian
rifles and other firearms of the late war
find purchasers among the Grand
Army posts, amateur military COM
panies, and spectators for foreign mar
kets, some of them being converted in
to breech- leaders orsporting purposes.
There is still another demand for them
which is not generally known. Large
numbers of smoothbore musket barrels
are remounted and restocked, and are
highly valued as duck guns and for
other field sporting purposes, even with
out being converted into breech-load-
ers. A sportsman, who is n very sue
cessful hunter. said recently that an
old musket barrel restocked was his
most valuable gun, and vet cost him
only IS, and he has in his collection
several breech-loading '.stub and twist
guns. worth 500, more or less, each.
But whatever may the value of these
barrels, it is certain that very
a rye number find their way into the
market as sporting guns. A gun
smith with an experience of twenty
five or thirty years lately answered, in
response to an inquiry, that very
large proportion OF his business was
the alteration and remounting of old
military gun barrels, which form n con-
siderable portion of the sporting gun-
sellers stock in trade. he cost of
these guns is very slight, and their
market price brings them within the
reach of most purchasers. But gun
with real twist barrel is a costly ar
ticle. Instead of being rolled from a
plate or ''skelp'' between grooved roll
lers and welded at one rapid ope alton,
it is patiently hammered into cylin-
der by hand. The notified damas-
cened, or straited appearance is pro
duced by series of wires of differing
irons twisted into cables and then
welded into square rods. These placed
side by side and heated TO a weld are

Keep the Weeds. Down.

Do not wat for the corn and the
potatoes to get large and strong.
but as soon as the rows can
be seen, the cultivator should
be set at work. Delay at this gives the
weeds time to get strong stand and a
deep roofing. when it will be much
more difficult to destroy them. The
time to hoe is just before the weeds
make an appearance. This applies to
field and garden alike. Then there are
no weeds to trouble. and all that is
called for is to simply stir the surface
of the ground. This is an easy and
simple operation compared with the
tearing out and destroying a matted
growth of deep rooted weeds. The
modern practice of substituting the
horse and implement for the former
hand work is based on this early atten-
ton to the fields. If the fields were
deeply stirred and properly fixed be-
fore the p anting. no deep working is
called for in the hoeing. A stirring of
the surfrce only, done early and often,
is all that is called TO-. No neglect or
delays are admissible at this time The
farmer must be prompt and active If he
would keep ahead Of his work and
aaead of the weeds. This will be found
much the cheaper course in the end.
Less work is required, the land will be
cleaner, and crops will be heavier.

A new bed has been recently opened on
the Rio Pardo in Bahia, which presents
some differences to those hitherto
known in Brazil. The country around
is low and marshy, and covered with
forests. The working o. these forests
has led to the discovery OF the dia-

clay along with beds of deconposed
leaves. The deposit appears Of modern
