Over in the treasury story is told
at the expense of high official. The
air in the room was rather chilly, but
the clerks were found busily at work
in their light Office coats. They had
warmed the bulb of the thermometer
up to rs, and awaited Developments.
The official remarked that it was
cold, and shivered and looked uneas-
ily about the room. A clerk leisure
ly glanced at the thermometer and
said it was very comfortable. The
official looked and saw and wondered.
81 think l must have chill" he
said, but went TO his desk.
Pretty soon the clerk in front OF
him deliberately pulled off his coat
and resumed work.
"I am sure / must have a chill,

"Good heavens !" exclaimed anoth-

The official, still mufiled in his
overcoat and shivering, went over
again and looked at the thermometer
A clerk had in the meantime applied

The toboggan is sled with sin
gle runner, which spreads clear
across the bottom of the sled. The
top of the toboggan is just like the
bottom. 1t is somewhat thicker than
sheet of writing paper and about as
long as an after dinner speech. Its
seating capacity is limited only by
the number of people who can get OH
II. The urbane and gentlemanly
conductor sits aft and uses one of his
1.-THE and wilowy legs for steering
apparatus, by which he guides the
toboggan some way or rudder. 1t Is
easy to slide down hill on toboggan.
In fact, after you start down, you
can't do anything else. True, you
could fall off. That's easily done. The
flying machine is not high, so you
haven't very far to fall. Still, if you
have to fall from a toboggan half
way down the slide, or else fall down
stairs with a kitchen stove, you take
the stove and the stairs every time.
Itisn't so exciting and 1t isn't so soon.
The prince and walked up the stair
way for the purpose of sliding down
the banister, OH a toboggan. The
president of the club took his place
aft, somebody said "let her go.'
Then we stopped and the president
said. "How did we like it?" l left

we had to 90 up and get IL. There il

boggan is to any other way of getting

The Inourable cured-A Plain
Statement Of Facts.

Ny mother, Mrs. Feathers, has had
cancer of the womb for many
months. Last winter the doctor told
us it was cancer, and could not be
cured. Five different physicians in
private practice have said the same
thing. We took her to the woman's
hospital of this city, and there they
repeated the same story. DR.. Emmett
told us il was cancer, and she must
die. We then took her to the New
York College Hospital, and they told
us the same thing there-that she
had cancer and could live but a very
short time. She was then carried to
my house, where she awaited pa
tiently the coming of death as her
only relief. We saw the advertise
ment of the Swift Specific Co., and
as a"drowning man grasps at a straw
we went to the office of the company
and the physician told me to try it
that it could do her no possible harm
and that It would cure her. She had
lost great deal'of flesh and strength
and 1t seemed folly to give her medi
cine after what we had been told
However, we commenced the s. S. s
and kept it up month before we-be
gan to see any improvement. From
that time ON her general health i'm
proved, and she was soon raised
from bed. The discharge increased
SO much that it frightened us, but W.
kept on, and the cancer came away
in great sloughs and Jumps. Fol

to speak for herself at any time

Corn Show.

FRANKFoRT, March 3, 1886.
To the Farmers Of Kentucky:
With the view of directing the at
tentlon of the farmers of Kentucky
where to obtain Seed Corn of the hest
varieties grown in the State, the An
nual Corn show will be held at the
office of Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture, Horticulture and Statistics, Oh
the Oath day of March, 1886.
The following premiums will be
awarded First and second pre-
miums at SIS, and $40 each for the
following varieties, viz: White Corn,
Yellow Corn, Bread Corn, Pied or
Mixed Corn. A premium of $l5 for
best sample of Hominy and Cattle
Corn, each. Each sample must be
sent in a separate package, marked
with the name of the exhibitor and
the name of the variety, and the
package may be sent by freight al
the charge of this Office. Each sam
pie must contain not less than thirty
ears. The weather has been so ex-
tremely cold that it is questionable
how far the corn germs. have been af-
fected by it. Too much caution
therefore cannot be exercised in the
selection of seed corn. 1t is my pur'

The California Roadrunner.

This is the name of very singular
bird belonging to the cuckoo family.
1t gets its name from its speed and
endurance as a racer. This is re-
markable. 1t is a quiet-colored bird,
with sense of humor. Its tail is
longer than its body, and tilts up and
down and bobs around constantly.
The roadrunner expresses its mind
with its tail.
But the most remarkable fact about
the bird is its method of destroying
the rattlesnake. 1t likes best the
sandiest, hottest part of southern
California, where the rattlesnake and
cactus alike abound. The roadrun-
ner hates the rattlesnake with NOR
tai hatred. How bird can kill a
snake you will learn from the de-
scription by Mr.. John Coryell, in the
Scientific American.
Finding the snake asleep, it at once
seeks out the spiniest of the small
cacti, the prickly pear, and, with in
finite pains and quietness, carries the
leaves, which it breaks off, and'puts
them in circle around the slumber-
ing snake. When it has made a suf-
ficient wall about the object of all
this care it rouses its victim with a
sudden peck of Its sharp beak, and
then quickly rctires to let the snake
work out its own destruction, a
thing it eventually does i'm a way
that ought to crafty the roadrun-
ner.
The first impulse and act of the as
saulled snake is to coil for dart; its
next to move away. 1t quickly real
izes that il is hemmed in In circle,
and finally makes rash attempt to
glide over the obstruction. The my
Rad of tiny needles prick it and drive
il back. The angry snake, with small
wisdom, attempts to retaliate by fast
ening its fangs into the offending cac-
tus. The spines fill its mouth.
| Angrier still, it again and again as.
saults the prickly wall, until, quite
beside. itself with rage, it seems to
lose its wits completely, and, writh-
ing and twisting horribly, buries its
envenomed fangs into its own body
dying finally from its self-inflicte d
wounds. After the catastrophe, tht
roadrunner INDUCES in few graft
fed flirts of lis long tail and goes off.
The name of this feathered curiosity
is the "paisano." 1t is described al
"an alert, comical looking bird"

Some Guns.

AT the international inventions ex-
hibition, in London, one of the most
interesting features has been the i'm
proved guns and cannon. 1t was
long step in advance when guns be-
gan 10 be loaded and fired by ma
chinery. Before that the number Of
balls that could be fired per minute
depended ON how rapidly the hand
of man could be moved in loading
aud firing. At length it was dis
covered that all this could be done
by the simple turning of crank.
The gunner sights his weapon. Then
he simply turns handle. AT that
the cartridges are discharged, the
balls fly in their deadly mission, yet
other cartridges drop into the place
the first left, and finally the old car
fridge cases are cleaned out Of the
chambers of the barrels at the same
turn of the lever.
One feature of 1t is the ease with
which it can be handled, 1t can be
trained and fired upward or down.
ward at an angle of 55 degrees. 1t
can be oscillated fifty-five degrees,
and made to sweep from side to side
over very wide range of horizon.
The feeders contain sixty-four car
tridges each. The shield in front OF
the gunner's head protects him from
being aimed at by the enemy, and
also serves as a magazine to hold the
cartridges. This gun has ten barrels,
with ten locks. In addition to the
action described already, the locks
have forward and backward mo.
tion Of their own. The forward mo-
tion places the cartridges in the
chambers of the barrels and closes
the breech at the time of each dis
charge. The backward motion ex'
tracts the cartridge cases after firing
As long as the cartridges are fed in
to the magazine, loading, firing ant
extracting are carried on automat
ically and uniformly. 1t will bt
