The Efrect of snufr on Deer.

The duke of Atholc had recently as
guest Frenchman who was desperate
ly anxious to shoot stag. He shot at
many, but with one unyarying result,
that when he opened his eyes the ami
mails had disappeared. But one happy
day herd fled past him; he fired and
a monarch of the glen fell. The counts
JOY was extreme. He ran forward.
seated himself on the PROSTATE body OF
the stag and sympathctically condolcd
with him on his misfortune to be shot.
"Well, mon ami, SO you are dead!
Poor fellow!' lie cried, and having
stroked tho defunct. proceeded to take
some snuff. With an air which nature
has denied to all but the French ma
ton, the count held a pinch of snuff
to the deer's nose. Take a pinch.
mon ami-takc u pinch!" he exclaimed,
and in moment found himself all in o
heap on the ground. Whether the
deer had been stunned, shot through
the loins. or in some other way tempo
rarily disabled does not appear; but,
revived by the snuff, he sprang to his
legs and boltcd. stop, traitor, stop!"
cried the count; but the stag never
hecdcd; and so, consigning the beast
to regions remote. the poor count re-
turned sorrowful and stagless to din

Didn't Like a K:ckins Seat

.sDo you see that shaftpn said q deck
hand on board a Fort Lee steamer re-
Gently. ..You notice it isnonly eigh-
teen inches above the deck, and pas
sengers easily step over it when they
want to get abaft or forward of it.
On Sunday q fellow came aboard at
Fort Lee, after trying hard to induce a
friend who was with him to stay there
all night. He seemed to be awfully
tired, and when the boat was well un-
der way for New York he saw the
shaft, and did not seem to notice that
it was revolving. Here, Jim." he
said. ..let us sit down, and he sat
down OIL the shaft, with his pipo in his
mouth and his face toward tho stern.
OF course the shaft carried him over,
landed him on his back on the deck.
and began saving away at the tail Of
his jacket. He was greatly surprised,
and, getting on his feet, hc looked
steadily at the shaft for minute, and
then said to his friend; II gotap on the
wrong side; didn'tl, Jimpn Then he
tried to sit down with his face towar.i
the bow; but the shaft wouldn't lrt
him. It butted him OF and threw hi.a
forward. Atlast he turned to me very
angrily: ..Iarnation, male,n said he.

Soon after the boat LETT Vicksburg a
young man in a swell suit brought out
pearl-handled revolver aud began
shooting at ioating objects on the
bosom Of the mighty Mississippi. His
object seemed to be to show of. and rs
knot of passengers began 10 applaud
his shots. no grew what might be called
triumphantly reckless The steamer
presently overlook fat boat loaded
with hoop-poles. bound for the New
Orleans market. The stecrsman. wear
ing broad-brim hat and red shirt, was
very prominent figure.
.'I'ye seen the day." remarked pas
sengsr. s'that / could put bullet
through that chaps hat aud not harm
hair of his head"
II can do it myself" replied the
shooter. Z
II doubt it. sir; doubt 1t very much.
II you make that shot you can call
yourself the champion of the world"
What did the idiot do but haul off
and sop away! We saw the mans
hand go up to his ear. and it wasn't
half minute before his place was taken
by second man and he was pulling of
for us in his small boat. He was soon
alongside, and not a man Of us moved
as he rushed up stairs with bowie
knife as long as the leg of chair, in
his mad right hand. Tho shooter was
whittier than chalk, but his sang froid
was the genuine article. Before the
man with the bleeding ear had come
within ten feet of him he had $50 bill
out Of his wallet and, taking step
forward, he held it out and said:
s'Sorry to have troubled you, my
dear sir. Intended to leave it for you
at the next landing. Ishot to break
the pipe in your mouth, but hit your
ear. This is my regular price when 1
make such blunders.
Red shirt hesitated-took the bill
scanned the figures on the corners
slowly put up his knife. and then turned
and left the steamer without having
said one single word to one OF us. The
nerve and money of the dude had pre-
vented that wicked knife from tasting
life blood.

AS the young ladies of Napoleon sit
around the candle light darning their
red, white, blue, black and striped stock
ings they should not forget that two
centuries ago not one person in thou
sand, probably, wore stockings. and
now scarcely one person in q thousand
is without them. The honor OF invent
ing the first stocking machine belongs
to William Lee, an English clergyman,
who made pair Of hose by the frame
in the presence of King James |. But
such was the prejudice Of those times
that his invention was frowned upon.
and he went to France. Here he met
with no better success, and died In
Paris, in great poverty of q broken
heart. His machine, however, won Its
way, and was in general use for two
and d half centuries. Itisnow supersed-
ed by d beautiful piece Of mechanism,

wages in 1900.

The condition Of the wage class Of
that day may well be examined. It Is
full OF instruction to social agitat0rs.
In the great cities unskilled workmen
were hired by the day, bought their
own food and found their ownlodgings.
But in the country, on the farms, or
wherever a hand was employed on some
public work, they were fed and lodged
by the employer, and given few dol
lars a month. On the Pennsylvania
canals the diggers ate the coarsest diet,
were housed in the rudest sheds, and
paid six dollars month from May to
November, and five dollars month
from November to May. Hod carriers
and mortar mixers, diggers and chop
pers who from 1892 to 1900 labored on
the public buildings and cut the streets
and avenues of Washington City, re-
ceived seventy dollars year or, II they
wished sixty dollars for all the work
they could preform from March to
December 20. The hours OF work were
invariably from sunrise to sunset.
Wages at Albany and New York We're
three shillings, or, as money they went,
forty cents day; at Lancaster eight to
ten dollars month, elsewhere in Penn
sylvania workmen were content with
six dollars in summer and five in win
ter. AT Baltimore men were glad to be
hired at eighteen pence a day. None
by the month asked more than six dol
lars. At Fredericksburg the price of
labor was from five to seven dollars. In
Virginia white men employed by the
year were given sixteen pounds curren-
cy; slaves when hired were clothed, and
their masters paid one pound month.
A pound ofVirginia money was In Fed
eral money three dollars and thirty
three cents. The average rate of wages
the land over was therefore sixty-five
dollars year, with food and perhaps
lodging. Out of this small sum the
workman must with his wife's help,
maintain his family. Troy Democrat.

A correspondent writes of Edwin
Booth and his daughter, who is soon to
be married to Mr.. Grossman: The
Booth house in Chestnut street is d
gem in its way, but unless the fair
young mistress returns to mako it her
home it will never look the same.
Booth is such a dyspeptic and SO moody
at times that his life must be shorn 81

ter is not there to keep open house for
all his Boston friends. The wedding
is to bo very quiet, and then they i'll

intimate friend Of Miss Booth for sew

be the result OF their great friendship.

Twenty bushels of Lancaster wheat

schemes (there are several companies)
deceive every farmer with whom they

Il is much to be regretted that when

The transition from the armchair to

The fixed seat and padded back and

A BoYcoTT.-The Can Makers Mu-
tual Protective Association of Balti-
more, and members of the Federation
of Labor, have issued a Baycott
against all machine-made cans for
canned food. on the ground that such
cans are not only unsafe and un-
healthy for preserving fruits and veg
etables. but that they throw out of
employment a large number of skilled
workmen. and give dangerous en-
ployment toethe unskilled. Their rea-
sons are more fully set forth in circu-
lars which we have read and are con-
WINGED oftbeir force. The risk of using
unsafe means of putting up goods 10
cans liable to become poisonous to the
consumer, cannot be too severely CEN
sured and If the canmakers statements
are true, (Which we have no reason
10 doubt the incoming Legislature
should take the matter in hand aud

which will not only protect consumers
against dangerous food, but secure
