ono WAY to Catch woodchuclss.

A man in Webster county, W. Va, has a
novel way of catching woodchucks He first
catches a land terrapin and bores "A hole in
its shell, just over the tail Through this
hole he runs the end of a ball Of candlewick,
leaving the ball about two feet from the ter
rapin. When he wants a woodchuck for
dinner he takes the terrapin in his pocket to
the hole in which the woodchucll has taken
up his permanent residence. When there he
puts the terrapin in the mouth of the hole,
saturates the ball with kerosene, and in the
turtle goes, followed by the bah Of fire. The
hunter then stands at the other end, or exit,
and awaits progress. In a very short time
the woodchuck appears at the mouth of the
hole in puzzled frame of mind. A sharp
blow from a club winds up the woodchuek's
existence. The terrapin is always close be
hind his prey; he is picked up, the burning
kerosene extinguished, and the hunter is
ready for another.-Chicago Herald

land was stirred. The procession passed on
amid the sobhing Of a nation. There were
thirty trumpeters stationed at the door of
the cathedral, with instruments Of music in
hand, waiting for the signal, and when the
illustrious dead arrived at the gates Of st.
Pauls cathedral these thirty uumpeters
gave one united blast, and then all was 81
lent. Yet the trumpets did not wake the
dead. He slept right on.
But have to tell you what thirty tIumpet-
ers could not do for one man, one trumpeter
will do for all nations. The ages have rolled
on, and the clock Of the world destiny strikes
0, 10, II, r. and time shall be 10 longer
Behold the archangel lowering. He takes
the trumpet, points it this way, put its lips to
his lips, and then blows one long, loud. ter.
rife, thunderous, reverberating and resurrec-
tionary blast. Lookl Look! They rise,
The dead The dead. Some coming forth
from the family vault. Some from the city
cemetery. Some from the country grave
yard. Here a spirit is joined 70 its body, and
there another spirit is joined to another body,
and millions Of departed spirits are asserting
the bodies and then reclothing themselves in
forms now radiant for ascension.
The earth begins TO burn-the bonfire of
great victory All ready now for the pro-
cession of reconstructed humanity! Upward
and away Christ leads and all the Christian
dead follow, battalion after battalion, nation
after nation. Up, upl On, on Forward,

heads, We everlasting gates, and let the con-
querors come inl Resurrection Resurrec-
toni
And so l twist all the festal flowers of this
church with all the festal flowers of chapels
and cathedrals Of all Christendom into one
great chain, and with that chain I bind the
Easter morning Of 1883 with the closing
Easter Of the worlds history Resurrectionl
May the God Of peace that brought again
from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great
Shepherd of the sheep through the blood Of
the everlasting covenant, make you perfect
in every good work to do His will.

A Curious Old 1irearm.

saw when in Santa Fe, some time ago, a
remarkable firearm, that l think is entitled
to description 1t was shown me by William
II. Ulanderiield, an old resident Of New
Mexico, and it had been in the possession of
the family from whom he obtained it for
many years. 1t was pistol, and it was sup
posed thatit had been brought to New Mexico
by some one of the Spanish cavaliers who
caracoled across the old plaza with Coronado.
The weapon was about two feet long, with
two barrels, one above the other, and so
heavy that it must have been fired by both
hands, Under the hammer were wonippies,
and after firing barrel with one nipple a
spring had to be pushed to bring the other
nipple, connecting with the second barrel,
under the hammer.
There was a long hook on the butt of the
pistol 10y which il was hung upon a saddle or
to the belt of a footman, suppose. Then,
directly back of the hammer of the thing
was q concealed spring, and pressing that the
butt came away from the barrels, leaving in
the hands Of the soldier a stout dagger. This
could have been used in close quarters with
great effect, and it evidently had been, for
the blade was dark brown in places with
blood stains that had been there probably for
centuries. Ulandcrfield had had several
offers of money from curiosity hunters for
the pistol, but he refuses to sell i'll. b.

An Aurora newspaper tells of an engineer
now running one Of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy engines out there who is pro
fessional 'scab.n According to the story he
tells he has been following up strikes and
getting enormous wages-that is, he offers
his services as soon as the strike takes place,
when the company is in great need OF run
ners and is willing to pay very handsomely
for them. Then when that company secures
engineers enough and reduces his pay he
jumps away to some other road where
strike is in progress, and thus manages all
the time to get fancy wages for his work
This is very pretty tale, but to any ordinary
marine who happens to know that in the last
twenty years there have been only five or
six strikes of engineers in this country, and
none since 1917 until the present one on the
Reading road-to such marine this ell
gineer's story would smell too fishy to be ap-
petizing. Chicago Times

The two recent explosions Of coal oil lamps
in this city have excited much remark. In
both cases the oil in use was above the stand
ard The lnmps had been left standing q
long time half filled before they were lighted
Had the LAMPS been full when lighted these
accidents would have been impossible, and
the risk of life and actual damage to prop
erty avoided. The oil vapor had mingled
with the air in the upper part of the lamps
and formed an explosive mixture. The safe
thing for householders is to have no space in
their lamps for this explosive mixture. Let
the lamps be filed before being lighted. 4
lamp left standing partly filed may explode
after being lighted, but if it was perfectly
filed explosion would be impossible Balti-

A Won pre..ea Tailor.

Ancnt tailors and clothes, here is a story
about tailor whose business would probably
be ruined if his name were printed in this
connection. Some Of his customers have long
noticed that he made his appearance every
day with a new suit ON, and they also OBJ
served that many of his suits did not fit him
very well. On investigation of affairs, by
means of tips to the tailor's clerk, they made
the rather startling discovery that the tailor
was habitually getting the first wear" out
of the suits made for his customers, and that,
as a matter of fact, he possessed no other pre-
sentable clothing, depending entirely for his
street, business and social attire upon the
garments Of his clients.--Chicago Herald.

Why is cedar always selected as the best
wood for cigar boxes! You might put the
question to a hundred cigar manufacturers
or dealers and thousands OF smokers, and be-
yond the reply that it is the most suitable
and that cedar is always used not one can
tell You tho true reason. Cedar is used be-
cause it is the most porous wood, is easily
dried and can be cut and nailed better and
quicker than hard wood into boxes. But the
principal reason is because of the flavor,
which is contained in the essential oil with
which the wood is saturated. Tho flavor Of
the oil evaporates freely and has the most
beneficial effect upon any kind Of tobacco
