A Skunk Farmer.

James Clark, who lives near the vii
lage of Perry, Ind, is engaged in a
novel enterprise. 1t is that of skunk
farming. About one acre is inclosed
with tight fence, constructed out OF
thick boards, and in this Enclosure are
over 800 skunls. Clark takes great de-
light in his peculiar occupation. In the
lot in which the skunks are confined a
long trench has been dug, into which
the animals have Carried nearly ton
of hay for nests. In these they raise
their young. which average ten to a lit
ter.
Tho business has become profitable,
the fur and oil being valuable. Little
expense is attached to the business, as
the skunks feed on dead sheep, horses,
cows, apples, potato parings and refuse
Of all kinds. They breed like rabbits.
The furs are taken or in tho winter and
shipped to the New York market, where
they bring 81 apiece. Clark takes great
care to weed out all color but black from
his flock. The powerful stencil emitted
from the Enclosure renders a visit to the
farm very unpleasant-A. y. Pres.

THE life of Nine. Peynaud, the
Frenchwoman who died few DAYS ago
near Gainesville, Nd, where for years
she occupied, with cats, dogs, and
birds, an old hut, is told as follows in
Baltimore papers: ~She formerly lived
in Paris; her husband was a barber,
and upon his death he left her a recipe
for identifying the complexion. She
started an establishments. but, trade
not being brisk, she adopted a new
plan. She advertised extensively,
promising astonishing results. When
her victims came, she charged them
large prices for the lotion. The lotion,
however, brought out ugliness and
blotches instead of beauty, and she
then demanded exorbilant prices for
removing these blotohes. She made a
great deal Of money, but in 1875 she
was arrested, tried, and convicted. She
managed to escape to New York, where
She live quietly for q time. Remorse
ovcrcame her, and she consulted a eler-
gynan. He counseled penance. She
therefore went to Maryland. bought an
old building in q secluded spot, and
began the life OF 2 recluse.

Falls, Idaho, unearthed complete
skeleton of mastodon. 1t was buried
about twenty-five feet under ground.
The place had at one time evidently
been a whirlpool or eldy of the river.
Many large bones have been found
there, but this las. discovery was a
perfect skeleton, it having without
doubt been deposited there while the
hide was yet intact. 1t was about six
teen feet long, and it is estimated that
the pile of bones would weigh 5000
pounds or more. The tusks we're be
tween six and seven feet long. The
tusks and some of the huge molars and
other bones were preserved, but it was
impossible to save the skeleton entire,
as soon after it was exposed it began
to crumble.

around lead the whole procession toward
the hill. When he arrived there he walked
around the hill three times. After the third
time, he touched the ground with his stick
and behold it opened up like big cavern.
He entered this opening and he beckoned
everybody to follow him. When all were
inside he walked along until they got into
the center of the hill. Arrived here, Col.
denhair took "a whistle from his pocket and
blew it. Immediately after, the ground on
which Goldenhair and all the inquisitive
people stood was raised up like an elevator.
This ascension lasted for about three min
utes when suddenly everything stopped.
Goldenhair and the people looked around
and they found themselves in a large,
beautiful marble hall. In the very center
stood massive altar on which they could
recognize the shape of beautiful young
girl, dressed in long milky white garment
At the head of this marble altar stood the
wizard. He beckoned Goldenhair and the
people to come forward and stand around
the marble altar. When all was quiet, the
wizard said:
'Do you see this girl? She was at one
time as inquisitive and curious as all you
foolish people are, and she has undergone q
punishment that has made her wiser. Nov
you are in Hummingbird Castle, you see
what there is here. Is it worth the clint
up the steep hill and stand the chance Of
being killed? Mol you ali shake your
heads for you know that l am right"
Then he told them all the story of the in.
quisitive princess, and when he arrived al
the end he said: NOW are you satisfed?'i
"Yesi" all answered.
"Then go out of this doorl''
A large door went open and the people
walked out. But no sooner had they stepped
into the grounds when they were all changed
into monkeys. They ran around and
climbed the trees, and acted just like the
animals whose shape they bore.
The wizard and Goldenhair were standing
in the large hall of the castle and looked al
them, and Goldenhair became frightened.
"Do not be afraid. nv boy" said the
wizard; 'you were the only one who knew
how to mind his own business and curb the
feeling of curiosity. Come here, this young
lady has suffered long enough We will
take her back to her father in the kingdom
of Colorado, and you shall be her hus-
band"
The wizard had no more than spoken
these words when he went up to the marble
altar. Taking the young lady by the hand
he assisted her on to the ground. Then all
three returned to the kingdom of Colorado,
where all were received with great rejoic-
ing. The lords forgave the princess, when
she promised them that she would not again
be too inquisitive.

hundred turrets, its many srched windows,
its large portal and magnificent hall, had
been standing on Hummingbird Hill,
nobody knew. Some of the Oldest people
said they remembered when it was not on
the hill, but when they were asked who had
built it they shook their gray heads and
said they did not know. Neither knew
anybody who lived in the castle, or who
had ever lived in there. Even the most
imaginative of the country's story teliers
was not bold enough to state that he knew
all about it because he had been there. So
it was that Hummingbird Castle was, and
it seemed to remain a mystery.
The castle was beautiful structure. 1t
stood on the very summit of the hill from
which the building derived its name
among the people, and the fact that no one
know how it had originated was enough to
make the castle the subject of many roman
tic stories. Many daring young man had
ventured up the steep ascent of the hill to get
to the summit and explore the immediate
vicinity of the castle. But it was in vain.
Very few got as far as the enclosing walls be-
fore they turned back and retraced their
steps into the valley. One thing, however,
was well known. and that was this:
Every man who had ever attempted to
find out the mysteries of Hummingbird
Castle had died before he had been able to
give an account of his investigation. Often
the people found the dead body of a man at
the foot of the hill, and all knew-at least
they thought they knew-that he had been
killed by the mastsr of the castle.
From all these mysterious signs, how
ever, which clearly tended to prove that it
was best for everybody to remain away from
the castle, the people became more and
more anxious to know. They were not de-
tered by the fates of so many people who

Yet. what being can help seeing
That the beast is best without?

Heartless in an evil hour.
He's tyrant then enYironed
With the attributes of power.
Thoughtful childhood sees the wildwood
That would over earth expand,
If our world had been hurled
Heartless from its Makers hand.
From stupid turnkey Cupid
Filched the heart with fingers deft.
His effrontery left a country
Of all gratitude bereft,
Stoics shiver at his quiver,
Yet admire the imp whose art
Made Leander a commander
When the priestess stole his heart.
Thus while living gay or grieving,
In those hearts there will abide
Hopes that dwindle and rekindle,
Ebbing, flowing like the tide.
