F. X. Curran. of this place, returned
on Monday from the B. 4 NJ. coal camp
and Supdance. He reports much snow
at the latter, and a fair degree of activ-
ity at the former place, rear which he
proposes, in a few days, to open the
pioneer saloon. The name Of Burling-
ton has been suggested for the new
town, at which Curran's saloon will
probably be the initial building, al
though a number of others are contem-
plated. This will probably be a kind of
a Ego as you please" town, where
municipal matters will be managed in a
manner peculiar to western railroad
camps, and the buildings will be erect
ed on wheels. so to speak. in order that
they may be prepared at a moments
notice to move to the permanent town
which will hereafter be established by
the b. & Nj. Railroad company, the
location Of which, at present, can only
be dimly surmised.

Two Whimsical Wagers.

II was in 1888 that Jerusalem
Wballey made the journey which earned
him his name. Being asked on one &C.
casion where he was going, he answered
in lest to Jerusalem The company
nresent offered TO wager any sum that he
would not go there, and he took bets to
tbe amount of between $40, 900 and
500. 600. The journey was to be per
formed on foot, except so far as it was
Necessary the cross the sea, and the ex-
nIoit was TO be finished by playing ball
AGAINST the walls of that celebrated city.
I5 the annual Rgister for l7Sa it was
stated that "Mr. Whalley arrived about
Inne in Dublin from his journey to the
HoIv Land, considerably within the
ii,nited time of twelve months" 7 he
above wager, however whimsical, was
NOT without q precedent. Some years
before 8 baronet of some fortune in the
north of England (Sir G. Liddal laid a
considerable wager that he would 90 to
Tapland, bring home two females of that
country and two reindeer in a given
lime. He performed the journey and
effected his purpose in every respect.
The Lapland women remained in the
country for about twelve months, but
having wish to go back to their own
country the baronet furnished them
with means and money. - Cham6erS's

The Pestifernns Grnss RIrd

There is little bird, common about
the fields and gardens, that is worst
pest than the sparrow, crow and black
bird combined. It is commonly called
the grass bird. 1t is dark brown or
dun color on the back, with a white
breast and belly. 1t eats clover and
grass seed, and those farmers who sow
these seeds on the ground without cover
ing them will look in vain for the young
plants. These small birds come in fiocks
of sometimes hundred or hundreds,
and lighting on the fields are unnotieed,
while each bSe viii pick up the seed
from square yard of ground. 1t is
easily calculated how soon hundred of
these birds will clear an acre of land of
seeds; forty-eight visits will do it with
out leaving one seed. No wonder there
are poor catches of seed, especially of
timothy, sown in the fall, when these
pests have a whole winter to work in or
swarm on the ground in the spring. The
only safety from this loss is to cover the
seed by the harrow and put it safe in
the ground, where it ought to be put by
every good farmer. If these birds are
needed to teach farmers q good lesson,
that grass and clover seed should be
sown IN the most careful manner and not
scattered upon the snow or the bare hard
surface of the ground, they will not have
lived in vain.-Nsl0 York Times.

An Army of Menials.

A great many people have been sur
prised, when attending the Vanderbilt
entertainments during the past year OF
more, to notice the marvellous number OF
servants in livery. After the English
fashion, this household army is usually
drawn up in line in the hall and the
guests pass into the drawing room with
a line of servants on either side. The
question that naturally arises is, what in
the world does the family do with this
army of menials when they have no so
cial affair on hand and are not enter
tanning. As a simple matter of fact it
may be explained that these servants are
not regular Vanderbilt attaches. They
are only taken on when the occasion re
ouires their services. In the language
of the theatre, they are the extra
ballet" The liveries in which they APP
pear are supplied them by the butler of
the house from an immense trunkfui of
such garments which have been imported
and are constantly kept on hand. The
buffers wardrobe contains fifty or seven
ty-fve such suits of livery, so that no
matter what the peculiarities of size and
shape among these hap-hazard domestics
may be, it is comparatively easy thing
to fit them out.-T0aon Topics.

Wooden Figure Making.

The wooden Indians once so common,
md which are still met with here and
here, are made almost exclusively in
New York State. Some small figures
ire made in Chicago, but the East has
almost monopoly on those of life size.
.sdsE and white OAK are the woods used
in their construction. They are made Of
many pieces, fitted and screwed togeth-
er, heads, arms, and legs often being in
several pieces They must, therefore,
be looked after very carefully or the
FONTS soon show. They range in price
from S15 to $50. A few of the wooden
figures are made of one block. Before q
tobacco-shep in St Paul stands one Of
these-an Indian chief in all the glory
of war paint and feathers. To be sure,
one hand is gone and the feet look as If
thew would bear amputation. But it is
in pretty fair condition after four years
exposure. The figure cost SS3 in Chi
caao. Another of the wooden signs IS
the figure of Cuban girl, turbaned and
girdled, made of many pieces, and cost
but $50.
The metal figures coming into use are
more expensive, ranging from $1GO to
$500, but they are practically indestruc-
tible' The metal is q soft combination.

whether they attract custom is no
