They intended to get the advantage of some
English champion, but they found that they

might as well have been planted on q sand

force of pile driver, and no matter what
they met, the obstacle went to the earth
By the ruse of representing him as large
and strong, but wholly ignorant of the
science, his hackers finally succeeded in
making match with noted prize fighter
The parties came on the ground, but at the
first sight of Freeman his opponent turned
away, saying: Il came to fight with large
man, not with a mountain" The seconds
and referees thereupon declared the match

And now the unlucky giant became aware
of the worthleSsneSs of his mercenary friends.
While there was prospect that he could win
fortunes for them they had lured him far
away from his home and his few humble
friends, but now, finding that no money was
to be made, they basely left him alone in
strange land, without friends or resources.

The bronco is a wild or unbroken horse. /

bronco" is a Spanish word, meaning wild,
and that one always said bronco horse when
speaking of unbroken horses years ago; but
now, when one says he is riding or driving a
bronco it is understood that he means a wild
or only partly broken horse. As a saddle
animal the bronco often causes more excite

Remove the Tags.

A man who patronizes ready made cloth
ing store for his clothes cannot be too careful
about removing the numerous tags which
adorn the stock piled ON the counters This
warning is not given without reason. 1t is
suggested by the experience of one James
Hitchcock, who underwent fearful ordeal
in this direction. He tells it on himself. too
Years ago, when Professor MARITIME ran the
hotel at Riverside and was attempting to re.
vive its popularity by hypodermic injections
of Saturday night hops, Mr.. Hitchcock was
invited to participate in one of these social
revels. His wardrobe was complete with the
exception of a white vest-then en- regle.
Well, he went to a retail house and purchased
the desired white waistcoat. He took it home
and plucked off all the various tags-that is.
he thought he did. He attended the party
with his wife, and all went well until he
mingled in the excitement of the lancers.
Then he threw open his Prince Albert and
lent himself to the abandon of the dance.

Snow Forts In War.

great many young play warriors have
built formidable snow forts, but they never
have imagined probably that there could be
such thing as the use of snow forts by ac-
tual soldiers and for purposes of defense
against bullets
Lately, however, the Norwegian officers
have been conducting some interesting ex-
periments in snow Notifications.
A colonel in the royal service recently had
constructed intrenchments of packed snow,
about three yards in thickness Then he
placed a firing detachment a distance of
thirty-three yards from the intrenchments
and caused more than three hundred rife
shots to be fired into the fort.
After the firing the snow walls were ex-
amined and it was found that not a single
rife ball had penetrated more than a yard
and quarter into the snow.
The bullets were found flattened out, as if
they had been fired into some hard substance.
Such breastworks would undoubtedly prove
very useful against infantry in winter cam
paign in snowy country. But military
force intrenched behind them would have oc-
casion to fear a thaw or a heavy rain quite
as much as the bullets of the enemy.-Youth's

Points on Pins,

Law has deigned to notice the pin. Not
long before the close of the reign of Henry
VIII, law was passed entitled, IAN Acte

that the price should not be more than Is.

rare they were very acceptable present;
instead of the gifts, composition was
sometimes received in money" this was
called, of course, pin money, a term which
has been extended TO a sum Of money 'se-

STATISTICS OF TIE PUBLIC STOOLS.

For the information of those interest
ed in the public schools of the county,
I have prepared and now submit, the
following report:
There were during the last year "a
organized districts in the county en-
plOying total of 100 teachers, of which
forty-one were males and fifty nine
were females. The average wages
paid were: males. SAG so, females, S35.
Total amount paid out for teachers
wages, 81, 142, of which the State and
county funds paid S5,43l. The total
number of months taught in the conn
ty is 525. There are 5.221 pupils in
the county. The average cost per
month to each pupil for teachers
wages is seventy-five cents, deducting
from that the amount paid by the
State and county funds, an average OF
sixty cents per month is left for each
pupil.
The schools are il flourishing con-
dition, generally, and this is in my
opinion, a very favorable showing for
their financial condition.
