SEVERAL years ago negro glrl at
Calhoun, Ga, predicted that the town
of Calhoun would be utterly destroyed
on March 90, 1888. She was only one
day out of the way, the recent disas-
trous cyclone there having occurred

corroborated by dozen eitizens, who
distinctly remember the occasion when

A SHERIFF in Franklin county,
Maine, had novel experience while
making an arrest. 1t was the sher-
ifs misfortune to be much under the
usual size, but he was full OF pluck.
He was sent to arrest a notorious of
fender, and found him on a hill side,
He was burly two hundred-pounder
Grinning at the officer he laid down
on the ground and said: "If you get
me you will have to take me-" The
situation was favorable and the sheriff
was quick-witted. Without word he
took one of the big mans feet under
each arm and started down the hill
with him as fast as he could go. The
fat man got such humping that he
begged for mercy, and the officer had
an easy time in completing his ar
rest

THE shooting of big dog by a
French Custom House officer in the
North of France the other day has
given rise to some queer dog stories in
the French papers. The officer shot
the dog because he was suspiciously
fat. The postmortem examination
revealed the fact that the dog wore a
leather coat made to look like his own
skin, and skillfully fastened at the
shoulder and launches in such way
as to completely conceal the ends OF
the hair. In this coat the dog carried
several hundred cigars.

THERE 8 said to be a blind jeweler
in Bradford, Penn, who is able to re-
pair jewelry and watches entirely
through his sense of touch. The
blindness came upon him after he had
become a proficient workman, and
then, by cultivating the sensibility in
his finger ends, he overcame in great
measure his lack of eyesight. This is
certainly most remarkable instance.

Free Institute. Of Philadelphia. which
devotes a portion of its income to the
encouragement of original research, a
scientific exploration of Florida was
made last year. A report of the work
done. which was chiefly geological, has
recently been published. The investi-

opinion of Agassiz as to the coral for
nation of Florida. but indicated that
the coral tract of the peninsula is con-
fined to the south and southeast. The
fossil remains examined BY these and

Thinning Fruit.

IhinninS fruft.
As there is a prospect Of large crop
OF fruit, seasonable suggestions are in
order and hints for management OF
fruit may be Of use 10 some who are
not experien ced in the business. All
trees, in good bearing years, have a
tendency to overprGduce, and many
times are gseatly harmed by having
too much fruit left to grow and mature.
Over bearing IS sure to injure the tree.
by weakening its productive power
and its vitality. The value of fruit
depends on its size and flavor. A
bushel OF large peaches will sell at a
good price, but when fruit is over
crowded on the tree il is worthless, as
il lacks size and flavor You have a
lot Of inferior fruit, and the tree that
bore it is weakened and injured. The
true way to do is TO carefully thin
fruit as soon as it has fairly set, and
has gained sufficient size TO show that
il will hang on A lively picker will
go over tree in a short time and thin
it, SO that his time lost will be well in
vested. Even when fruit is dried, the
buyer discriminates in favor Of large
growth, and pays in proportion. In
thinning, see that the picker takes off
the small fruit, and all that are in any
way i'll shapen, or that have fungus
spots on them. This leaves only large
and handsome fruit to mature, and it
will bring handsome price. Fruit
growers themselves, and their hired
hands, all have at first tendency to
dread either thinning fruit when il
hangs too thick or pruning trees
heavily enough when they reed it.
They have to be educated to it, and
when they have once learned their
lesson they are in condition TO do well
snd make money. 1t is aggravating
TO see tree die in the effort to bear
and perfect the fruit that crowds its
own burdened branches. The orchard
list has many lessons to learn, and sue
cess in his occupation depends very
greatly ON his learning them well, and
practicing them to perfection.

Methodist Doctrine from "a Catholic
Pulpit.

Before commencing his sermon last
Sunday morning, Father James Nc
Golrick, in the Church of the I'm
maculate Conception, in Minnneapo-
lis uttered "a strong protest against
Sunday theaters, and the amusements
which he declared desecrated the
Sabbath and violated Gods holy law.
He particularly cautioned the young
men and young women of his flock
against attending these forbidden
places where impurity and bIasphemv
are too often the direct outcome. In
stead of going there he urged them to
attend yespers and the benediction q.
the most holy sacrament. In solemn
tones he said Il warn you in the
name Of God as your pastor, who Is
responsible for your immorta! souls,
that if you 60 to these Sunday amuse-
ments you are guilty of sin. | call
God to witness that ] have done my
duty" 1t was mere pretense, he
said, to 90 to church in the morning
to adore God, and then go to the
theater in the evening to the utter
neglect of the public services of the
church. Those who attempt to de-
fend Sunday theaters are opposed to
the voice of the church and Catholic
theology. So-calIed Catholics in
France, Germany, and other Europ-
can countries are giving great scandal
by the un-christian way in which they
observe the Lords day. The great
evil In France prior to the revolution
was the dissertation of Sunday bv
games and other unlawful amusemeuts
in which the people INDUCED. He
requested all parents to keep their
boys away from theaters and games
where they learn nothing but bias
phemy and ungodliness.
