Villagers of Seatucket Badly Scared
and Afraid to Go About Alone.

"hN Ah0AA W w hUOuU Alone.
New YORK, Nov. 2.-The villagers Of
eeatucket, L. l., believe there is a gorilla
lurking in the woods which border their
town and they are fearful of their lives in
consequ ence. The farmers 90 to their
WORK In the fields armed and do not ven-
lure out after dark. Their wives would
as soon defy an army of mice as leave the
sneiter OF their home, while the children
are AFRAID TO go to pasture for the COWS,
ana IN some cases have to be escorted to
ana from school. The nutting season is
81 us height but the children dare not
venture near the woods. The colored ma
ives, many OF whom go nightly to Stony
Dirook, TWO miles distant, to buy provls-
ions, now make the trip in groups armed
WIN axes and pitcnforks.

HELEN FORTEsCUE,s FEET.
Pedal EXtremities in Elegant Flesh
COlored Hosiery.

FROM cara Beke'S Letters.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Ot course All i'm
personator of any particular thing ought
to be costumed to suit the character, but
hold that as Liberty keeps right up with
the times in New York, her statuesque
exponent absolutely requires modishness
to make her respected. In the way OF
perfect suitability in garb Helen Fortes-
cue is an illustration. She is a sister OF
the actress whom Lord Garmoyle wished
to marry, then wouldn't, and finally
had TO pay $4,000 for changing
his mind. Helen is here in the
same company and her role Is
that OF poor peasant girl who returns TO
her home, sort of pTodigal daughter,
ragged and baretooted. Mention is made
OF the bare feet, and as the play is in blank
verse, perhaps nobody around the con-
Germ bad skill enough to alter the text
without destroying The metre. Anyhow,
Helen appears In fiVe-toed stockings, and
their hue is flesh color, which is not to
say the bright pink of the ballet, but a
realistic skin tint that makes folks
drop their opera glasses from her head to
her feet to discern whether or not the
girls feet and ankles are covered. AS
the nails are deity outlined, it is hard to
decide, and opinion is usually divided on
the sex line. The men are gallantly
ready to believe that the apparent pedal
perfection is genuine, but the unimpas-
stoned women will not concede 80 much.
and If Helen would only paint a corn or
two on her toes she would command un-
precedented success,

kept his head above water.

Various devices are employed in CEN
tral New York for training hops. Fornl-
erly two poles to hill were almost ex-
clusively used, but since poles have be-
come more scarce. various substitutes
have been used. One arrangement
uses stakes about seven feet long, over
the top OF which strings are run each
way OF the row. This plan has not been
received very fayorahly. as the hop vine
prefers climbing up. instead Of climbing
horizontally. Various and complex
methods of using fwine have been gotten
up and patented, but they have pretty
generally proved insufficient. The SIM
PIE system Of using one pole to the Hill.
and twine running obliquely from the
bottom of one pole to the top of the
next, and so ON. by the test of time,
seems to stand ahead, and is, l believe,
the cheapest, most practical and best
way to grow hops to-day.
A new method of training hops en-
ploys large poles and wire, and does
away with the common hop pole entire
II. These large poles are to stay in the
ground the year round. They are placed
at about every fifth Hill, and for good
results should be twenty, or at least
eighteen feet above ground; but they are
often used less. A wire is stretched on
the top Of these poles over each row, to
which twine is fastened from each hill.
Stakes are driven in the ground at each
hill to tie the twine TO- 1t is better
when these stakes are about four feet
long, but they may be only long enough
to tic to. The wire rests in a hook. and
when the hops are harvested it is let
down. There is no patent on this. and
it is rather cheaper than poles. How
ever. some serious objections are urged
against it. The strings are liable to
break from the wire, and the vines
killed by whipping in the wind. But |
believe il good, strong twine is used, the
wire is stretched tight. and stakes four
feet long are used ut the bottom, there
win be little trouble. j.. w. f. speaks
of fence stakes TO run the wire over.
These would not answer at all, rs the
wire must be up high 10 give the hop
plenty of runway, or the yield will be
materially reduced
When the vines arrive ut sufficient
length, those which are intended TO
grow are Immediately selected and tied
to the pole about which they are TO
twine. The rest are carefully trimmed
of. The vine should always be kept
closely twining. as it grows much faster
when it has something to cling to- All
the season, up to harvest time, or when
the growth becomes SO dense as to pre-
vent it, the ground between the rows
should be kept mellow, with cultiyator
or plow; and hoeing occurs about three
times-first, in early spring; second,
when the unnecessary vines are trimmed
of, and lastly, just before blossoming,
when some growers make practice of
hilling up their hops, which does not
accord with my notion. and which is
fast going ont Of practice. Cor. IN the

a Muskes Ball in the Brain for Twenty
Three Years.
From the New York Sun.

Three Years.
From the New York Sun.
Among the priva,es in the Eighty
sixth Regiment of New York Volun-
teers who ere at the battle of Chan.
cellorsville, fought on May 3rd, 1868,
was George Washington Monks,
young man hardly twenty years old.
Charlottesville was his eighteenth
battle, and it prove to be his last.
About two o'clock In the afternoon q
musket ball struck him on the head,
entering the right parietal bones, and
dropping into the skull TO the base of
the brain, where it lodged. The re-
suit in every previous case of that kind
was death within seven days, but
Monks is still alive, and the musket
ball is still in bis brain For nearly
twenty three years be has been per-
petual marvel to physicians. who have
named him the "Iron Man"
The wound paralyzed Monks rigbt
side, drawing it up and distoring it
terribly. 1t also completely broke
down bis nervous system, and in the
years since be received his wound be
has had no fewer than seven thous-
aud convulsioDs.
For tbs first few years Mrs. Monks.
the mother Of the wounded man, had
hard work to provide for him. Sew
eral years ago, however, he received
dome arrears of pension, and since
then he has been more comfortable.
His physician is DR.. Holmes.
Il saw him wounded" said DR..
Holmes, "but thought the wound
fatal. aud paid no attention to him
He did not die, however, and was
brought TO New York city aud placed
in q hospital, where DR.. Valentine

suited whether they should open his

| have heard another good story of
the venerable Leonard Bacon, whose
memory seems to grow greater every
year. DIR. Bacon, even in the hight of
his distinction as preacher, loved the
gentle pastime of angling, and one of his
bosom friends with an affection in the
same direction was New Haven ply
sician. One day the couple journeyed
over the hills somewhere back in the
country and tossed their hooks into the
water. Il was poor day for fishing.
Not trout did they land, as they waited
and watched, blistering in the sum-.
Finally, after good many weary hours
had passed, both lines were suddenly
ierked at once aud both poles nearly got
away from their owners But when in
another moment up the lines were
lifted-no fish upon either--a look of
disgust was upon two c0untenances.
'.Well, that does beat anything ! ever
saw, said the medical man; Il had
d. good bite" DIR. Bacon hesitated
mournfully one moment, and then, as
il absent-lnindedly, he remarked: so
