Hold NIuskrats.


 One afternoon, walking through the mead ow toward the pond, and when few feet from the water, saw muskrat running to reach the water. Bringing my pole down from over my shoulder, where I had been carrying it, struck him with it as he was running. The blow did not kill him, but he turned over on his back with his feet struggling in the air, and giving small cries of pain or anger, started toward him, when from the loose stone wall making part of the dam I saw five muskrats coming for me, with their mouths open, and giving every | appearance of rage and desire to avenge the | injury to their companion. Without stop- | ping at the place where he was still kicking, | they came past him and at me on the run, | and after the first astonishment was over ! concluded that discretion was the better ] part of valor, and started for the house as | fast as I could go, glanoing over one shoul- der to see if they were gaining in the race. Although they chased me for only few rods, I did not feel safe near that locality until the next day, when returned and found the pole { where had dropped it, but no muskrats, even 1 the wounded one being gone. have always believed that the one which I struck was not | severely injured, but that his cries of rage brought his companions to his aid and to fight for him.

 Mrs. Harrison has a large number of friends in Washington who will gladly welcome her as the mistress of the White House. One of the most prominent ladies in Washington has this to say about her: You may be sure she will inaugurate refreshing reign of straightforwardness in all matters, social and domestic, at the White House. Imported airs and affected exclusiveness will be summed, and sensible, open air American ideas will prevail. The immediate family of the President-elect will comprise group of charming women. Mrs. Harrison herself has held the esteem of her Washington friends after an absence from them of years; Mrs. Mckee, who was pretty Mamie Harrison when here, is universal favorite; Mrs. Scott Lord, who lives here, is an older sister of Mrs: Harrison, and is an affable and attrac- tive woman, and her two daughters are charming and beautiful young women. Mrs. Parker, the wife of Lieutenant John F. Par- ker of the navy, is blonde of good figure, fascinating in manner. Lieutenant Parker is with the Adams on cruise among the South Sea Islands, in the last year of three years absence. Mrs. Parker is at present in Europe. Mrs. Dimmick, the other daughte r of Mrs. Lord, is young widow, the opposite of her sister, being lovely brunette. Mrs. Dimmick is with the family of the President elect in Indianapolis, where she spent the summer and autumn. Mrs. Harrison, in de- scribing to friend by letter the condition of her house, which has been thrown open to the army of excursionists and visitors all gummerf said that if they should not be sent to the White House their only alternative would be the poor house, as their own home is not fit to live in until it Is thoroughly re- fitted and furnished. The floors are worn through, the garden torn up, the stairs brok- en down, and all the rooms of the house more or less disarranged.

HAS HE CANCER TOOa

The Sword of DamOcles Hanging over
 the Head ofYeung Kaiser William.
 From London Letter in Philadelphia Telegraph
 For the moment, also Germany is possess ed by wild fever of military enthusiasm. While the aged monarch William I continu- ed to reign, it was felt that war was not pos sible. With Frederick III Germany had ruler who was a most determined opponent to all idea of war; but with the present young emperor the military spirit is again in the ascendant, and this certainly renders the situation dangerous. His royal progress through Russia, Austria and Italy also sug- gests military alliances that seem to promise easy victories. Therefore young military men are all in great excitement, and seem to imagine that their young emperor-king is going to lead them all to glory in 6 very short time. Unfortunately for them and for mankind at large, the real truth is not pub- lished. Of course in the German press any attempts at criticism are altogether out of the question; but even in the English jour nals we have syeophantic accounts that are not creditable to what should be the impart- ial and enlightened guides of public opinion. We are made to believe that everywhere the the Emperor William distinguishes himself, shows himself great and powerful monarch and is received with unanimous applause. Such is not the case. Undoubtedly, so far, the emperor has displayed certain kingly qualities; has given proof of some strength
 
 l long will this last! We are told of his man. l ly presence, but we do not find mention of the ominous cottonwool pads that fill his ears l to keep the outer air away from the ulcers that at any moment may affect his brain. Then there are the rscking neuralgia pains that keep him awake all night and make him get up at untold hours in the morning. On such occasions he seeks to forget his suffer | ing by making surprise visits to barracks, where he does not fail to vent the ill-humor caussd by pain on any one whom he may ! find at fault. These are the freaks of sick | ly mau. Who shall measure the political ino- | portance of such sieknesss Who shall say I now soon this young life may be cut off and | then what will, what can, happen? The German people cheer for the kaiser; they are l taught that all authority, all greatness, all power, should be concentrated in the one hand of the kaiser; and nature, as if to prove how false, how wrong, is such doctrine, strikes both father and son with grave oon- | stitutional maladies. So that he could only I reign more than few years. These are eon- alterations which are forgotten by the gush- l ing writers who describe the royal psgeants; l and yet who shall say but that they are not much mnre important than the uniform the l soversigns wore or the number of times they pretended to kiss.

roo MANUFACTURING.

There is more enterprise in the South than there once was, but there is altogether too
 much of a certain kind if it is true, as re- ported, that the endeavor is being made to
 turn the nnisfortunes of one community to the advantage of another. Thus the Mont. gomery, Alabama, Daily Advertiser notes, and condemns with much indignation, the per- sistent circulation of rumors that this and that organization is being driven away from Decatur because of the outbreak of yellow fever there. The most important of these railroad company, which, it is said, proposes to abandon it's enormous plant there, and is looking for bids from other towns. No one who knows of the relations existing between the towns and the railroad, of the generous grants which the company has received in land and money, of the forwardness of its es- tablishment there and of the great outlay which it has made there, will need to be told how foolish this rumor is.
 The yellow fever has not appeared In the new Decatur, but in the old village of the same name and contiguous to it. The men l interested in the development of the new place have within the past two years expend- } ed very many hundreds of thousancs of dol ! lars upon its improvement; they have turned extensive corn and cotton fields into beau. ! tiful city ,laid out, graded and curbed streets l established parks, planted trees, erected pub ! lio buildings, introduced elaborate systems ol I sewerage and water supply, provided gas electric lights, the telephone, street railroad ! service, etc. Such work as this deserves en' | couragement. The Providence Journal gives
 some good advice when it says: The question | of generous sympathy for a stricken rivs aside, it would seem that the South should
 have been eager to point out to the nation the essentially accidental character of thi
 trouble. to build up Decatur, not to tea
 down, to insist upon it's belief in the genera
 healthfulness of this region. Candor an'
 self-interest alike suggest such course. For l whatever the immediately local effect ma ! be, Decatur cannot, in the nature of things l be the only sufferer. That town, indeed
 might have been looked upon as almost th last one in the mineral belt liable to an out
 break of this disease, so much has the I'm provement company done to insure it's health l and, as has been said, it is only the quarte
 outside of its sphere of operations that ha
 been touched by the fever at all. Probabl
 there are not half dozen towns along tn
 line of the railroad south of Nashville, an,
 few in the whole region, where yellow fevs might not have been sooner looked for.
 will appear in them some day doubtless whel
 Decatur shall have forgotten it's sorrow unles the warning is needed.

for their winters sleep. These holes are very large, making it easy for a man to crawl in, if he felt so inclined. Beasley and three others were out hunting one day, and in their ramblings came to piece of prarie where the gator holes were very plentiful mined to secure gator. Taking off the stout leather rope, or lariat, that was at his saddle bow, he tied one end around his waist. He then began exploring the holes, chucking down sods and clay balls. Soon he had response in the way of loud and angry hiss coming up from the hole.
 "Thar hit be-" said Beasley, "and hit be my meat tool"
 He saw that the fastening around his waist was secure, and giving the other end to one of the boys, told him to hold it steady, and he said impressively; "When I say haul away, you haul as if the devil was after you"
 Lying down, he began worming his way into the gators winter home slowly and eau tiously. The hissing became louder and fercer, while the violent efforts of the alarmed saurian to escape became painfully audible. Beasley's entire body soon disap peared, and the party outside listened to the conflict going on in the ground under their feet with unconcealed anxiety. Soon faint sHaul me up. boys" was heard, and they began hauling in the rope. It was hard work at first. The gator seemed greatly disinclined to come forth, and his shrill hiss es were redoubled and he began believing in 8 very frightened manner. The strong mus~ ky odor issued from the hole in dense vol- tunes, and it seemed wonder that Beasley could breathe in such an atmosphere.
 "Hurry up, boys," came another smoth- cred and faint direction, and the boys pulled for all they were worth. This time they brought forth their game. Soon Beasley's boots came into view, then his body, and lastly his head, his outstretched arms clutch ing struggling six foot saurian that was dis putting every inch of ground with its strong forepaws and hissing vigorously. A rife shot put an end to his struggles and BeasleY sat up to regain his breath. He said aftera ward that the blamed beast gave him tight tussle, and that at one time it seemed as if he would be dragged way down to the bot tom of the hole and drowned if he didn't let go But he secured a good brace at turn of the hole and held on till the gator became Hurried, and then he easily held him.
 Beasley said that generally they were asleep or in a lethargy when he found them in these holes, and that if man knew how to manage them there was no danger. He is credited with having captured scores of the scaly reptiles in this manner.

WYE SHALL NEVER FLY.
A Dismal Assertion Put Forth by Pro
 fesAOr La COntes

fesAor La COnte.
 In face of all the theories put forth by
 the inventors of flying machines comes
 Professor Le Conte, in the November num-
 Der of the Popular Science Monthly, who simple, that is, self-raising and self-pro- | polling machine, is an impossibiiity. The argument begins by predicting that there are two kinds of impossibilities, the seem- | ing and the real. For example, it seemed I impossible few years ago to speak with | friends at a distance and to hear their speech in return. Yet the telephone has l proved that there was no actual impossi- | billy in the case, but only an apparent one. | We did not understand the principles in- yolved" and therefore could not "con- ceive the conditions necessary to their sue- cessful application. On the other hand, I we knew that 8 perpetual motion machine and a self-snpporting arch of indefinite | length are impossible, because we know all | the factors that enter into the problems and can calculate the result. Thus, as the weight of an arch increases as the cube of | the diameter of all it's parts, and the strength of the stringers only as the square of | their diameter, it is evident that "there is l limit beyond which it Is impossible to make an arch or suspension bridge support l itself.''
 Applying this principle to other struct- ures, including animals. We find limit also to the size of walking animals, say in the dinosaurs of the Jurassic period, and a | limit to the size of flying animals in the cons ! dor. So far as we know, there is no bird that weighs much more than fifty pounds
 Nature has set this limit, beyond which she could not go.
 Again, for raising and propelling this l animal of fifty pounds weight, nature has
 provided the most efficient motor yet known. s'Nerve energy, acting through muscular
 contraction, and supplied by the combustion of foods, such as oils, fats, starch, sugar and fbrin together form the most perfect l and efficient engine that we know any thing of, i. G., will do more work with the same weight of machinery and fnel. More over, this natural machine is it's own engineer, while 'sthe flying machine must carry it's en- | gineer."
 Professor Le Conte summarzes his argu- ment as follows: q. There is g low limit of weight, certainly not much beyond fifty

New Fads in Mems Dresses.


 If predictions are to be fulfilled, the wo- men of society will have to look to their lau- rels the season just about to be insugurated.
 The fashionable men are showing an alarm ing tendency towards disoarding convention
 al costumes and adopting styles that are pie turesque to say the least. We had fore- cast of the unusual splendor during the past summer, when ''gilded youths" ssuntered about the summer hotel porches, their pris- tine flannel suits relieved with broad Roman sashes or wide metal belts, and now it is ! prophesied that the midwwinter will herald styles yet more gorgeous. Some of the most courageous innovators give credence to the
 rumors by permitting their enterprising tai l tors to use their names ten evidence" az the French say, that our representative society men, few of them, will actually wear the Oriental sah, minus the waistcoat, this win ter for full dress. Now these same sashes are wide, superb quality and exquisite color l ings, There are pale grounds such as pink l or blue, with contrasting deeper tints run 1 ming horizontally, and there are also deep l grounds, garnet, stone, marine blue or royal purple, run with pale colored bars. Yes, | they are effective; so effective in fact that I the warning is to be repeated; the belle of l to-day needs to be wary or the beau will eclipse her splendor. Well, from all pros- poets the belle intends to be extraordinarily l wary, for charming in the extreme are the costumes in course of completion for the va rious midday and midnight entertainments l that will soon make their winter days speed i by like so many aeecy clouds.

pounds, beyond which it is impossible for an animal to fly. Nature has reached this limit, and, with her utmost effort, has failed to pass it. 2. The animal machine is far more effective than any we may hope to make; therefore, the limit of weight of successful flying machine cannot
 be more than fifty pounds. 3. The weight of any machine constructed for flying, includ- ing fuel and engineer, cannot be less than 300 or 400 pounds. It is not demonstrated that true flying machine, self-raising, self sustaining, self-propeling is physically im-

An Under&round Fight with an Alli-
 gator.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.l
 Most of the old hunters who made their headquarters here ten or fifteen years ago are now dead or have moved down into the everglade fastnesses. They do not like civilization.wiSh it's horde of newcomers, and, like the Western pioneer, they keep moving in front. Ned Beasley was one who is well remembered here as a most ex- pert and fearless hunter. His speciality, though, was alligator hunting. and he never seemed happy unless hunting them in his narrow canoe, or telling stories around a camp fire of his adventures with the ugly brutes.
 In the dry seasons the praries of from the lakes, which are usually covered with a foot or so of water (and which are the haunts of the 1gator), become dry, and the saurians dig big holes or wallows, where they retire
