Perhaps the simplest trap made is the
box trap for squirrel and rabbit. Get a
box about fifteen inches long, eight wide
and eight inches deep. The ordinary
salt box will answer. Halve the box by
removing the top and one end. Hinge
the top on to the end from which it has
lust been removed-leather hinges will
do very nicely. At the same end nail in
an upright position stick twelve inches
high; bore half-inch hole through the
middle of the same end of the box and
put through it trigger of figure four
trap; run a string from the top of the
opening end of the box; over the rear
stick, down to the trigger; at this end of
the string tie two-inch silver of wood
set in a notch in the end of the box an
inch higher than the hole through which
the trigger extends. The box is now
open and your trap set. Bait the trigger
WITH sweet apple or an ear OF corn. Ine
rabbit or squirrel enters the trap, nibbles
the bait and loosens the trigger. With a
snap the cover falls and you've bagged
your game.
For all large game the familiar snap
steel traps cannot be improved upon.
In wild turkey trap you have to rely,
in a large measure, on the natural stupid
ity of the bird. A four-sided pen of
proportions best adapted to ground on
which you elect to erect it is built Of
twigs and grasses. The walls should be
about two feet high. For a roof use pine
or hemlock boughs and weight them down
securely; leave one very small opening in
your wall and in it leading into the pen
strew corn. The turkey eats its way in.
Once inside and having consumed all the
food the bird looks for an egress, but in
turkey fashion endeavors to get out
through the roof. The opening in the
side is small and the inturned twigs prove
an effectual barrier. He never thinks of
trying to crowd out the way he came in,
and is, therefore, close prisoner until re-
leased.
Fish snares, not meaning nets, are
hardly worth the while wasted on them,
but one of the simplest made can be
described in few words. The pickere!

store.

The habitual caution of these intelli-
gent creatures is illustrated when they
are travelling from show to show. Should
several be in Cal together, one Of their
number will remain awake on guard
while the others are sleeping.
Some years ago experiments were made
in the transport Of elephants by railway.
One of the ordinary cattle wagons of the
East India railway was fitted up for the
purpose, and the animal was placed in
the center space Of the wagon, between
six shafts, breast and back bar, and Sc
cured in addition by anklets on the fore
and hind feet, united by couplings trans
versely and longitudinally, and further
by four diagonal mOoring chains passing
through holes and lashed round the cor
ner pillars of the wagon. The first ele-
phant loaded, having his head free, took
the opportunity to remove with his trunk
portion of the roof Of the truck; it was
therefore found necessary to put a collar
round the neck Of the elephant, with a
vertical chain leading through and Sc
cured to the floor.
In this way a successful experiment
was made to Pundooah and back, the an
imal showing no signs Of fear or making
any attempt to free himself.-Chamber' 9

THE FEAST.

The feast given by the ladies of
the M E. Church South, last week
was largely attended and literally
patronized. Each night of the three
found crowd gathered for refresh
ments which, in rich profusion, were
spread by feminine hands ever ready
for labor when God is to be honored
and His Church helped.
What the church would do without
it's women, remains among the unan-
swerable questions of the times.
First at the cross, and last at the sep
ulchre. First in sacrifice and last to
surrender in labors of love and be-
nevolence.
The proceeds of the feast amount

A striking feature of the progress of
the new South came to light in Boston
last week when the bid of a Georgia
iron firm for an iron contract in that
CITY was found to be lower than that of
any of its competitors The advantages
of the Georgia concern is supposed to
be due to low freight rates by water.
In any case it is a wonderful change
