The ParasOl Trick Of ThlsyInu.

A trade journal recently illustrated
how the parasol trick Of thieving is done.
A richly-dressed lady enters and asks to
see some diamond rings, at the same time
carelessly hanging her parasOl on the
edge of the counter, in order that she may
have both hands at liberty. oddly
enough, unless the ieweler or his assistant
keeps very sharp look out, one or two
of the rings are dropped into the open
parasol with lightning like rapidity, the
beautiful customer gazing inteutly the
while into the eyes Of her victim. The
more laundering style of first smashing a
window and then rushing of with what
ever can be grabbed is rarely successful
as far as the thieves are concerned, but
the loss to the tradesman is much about
the same, for trinkets are difficult things
TO pick out Of a muddy road on a DIRK
November night. Taking all things in
to consideration, it must be confessed
that the jewelers. vocation is beset with
perils from which other trades are free.

A Misleading Signal to the Engineer.

q In the early days of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, said a
railroad man, 'stock was so frequently
killed on the road that Manager Clark
found it necessary to require tSe loco
motive engineers to make note OF what
ever they killed. The engineers had to
fill out form stating when, where and
what kind of animal had been killed,
and turn the report in to the superin-
tendent Of stock claims. One day a COM
plant from a farmer was received by
Manager Clark, in which the killing of
valuable COW by the Santa Fe engine
was related. The letter was referred to
the stock claim department, but no re-
port from the engineer of the train in
question could be found. Mr.. Clark sent
for the engineer, an old employe of the
road named John Norton, and asked him
why he had not reported the collision
with the COW.
4" Didn't know hurt the cow said
Norton.

oCTAGoNAL BARNS.

The advantages Of octagonal barns are
economy Of space, cheapness of structure,
and stiffness Of the frame. As the larg-
est space is contained within the shortest
line 10 circle, the nearer the approach
to this that can be made gives the most
room for the length of wall and surface
of roof. The frame is put up in the
ordinary manner, with studs or posts set
in the stills, the plates are halved together
at the corners and strengthened with iron
plates bolted through the timbers. The
corner rafters are double the size of the
Others, and are bolted to the plates with
angle irons. They rest on purline plates,
to which they are spiked, and short
rafters may be used. The centre of the
roof consists a of small octagonal splce
which may be used for cupola. The
cattle are ranged on the outside, the
stalls being narrower at the head to con-
form to the shape of the building, and
the feeding is all done from the inside
where the feed is stored and the hay
chutes are made. The hay and grain are
stored on the other sides, leaving the
centre for threshing, etc. This kind OF
barn has been found excee liugly con-
venient .-Mev York Times

The KangarOo's Jump.

When brought to bay the kangaroo
Jumps like flash for the hunters chest
aud tries to crush it with his fore feet
To prevent this each man wears across
his breast two or three-inch thick mat
ting. Armed with spear with a club
attachment at the other end, they ride
upon swift horses into a herd.
With the agility and equipOise Of O..
Gus riders they stand erect upon their
horses and use their spears and clubs.
The kangaroo is able to jump clear over
horse. AS the game is bagged it is
skinned and the skin is stretched on the
ground aud pegged down to prevent
shrinkage. The flesh furnishes food for
the camp.
Each man places his private mark upon
his booty, and when they have 100
apiece they return back to civilization
There are twenty varieties of ksngaroos,
among them the blue, red, Wallaby,
black, gray and forester, the latter fur
uishing the best leather, as it lives mainly
in wooded sections.
When the shipping ports are reached,
the hunters dispose of the skins by auc'
ton to the highest bidders, the skins
being now in constant demand. Kan
CARGO hunters make large profits. One
man is known to have cleared $4,000,
free of living expenses in a single year,

small, high rooted alcove, raised some
what above the rest OF tie room, from
which it is separated by movable silver
balustrsde somewhat like large turn
stile. This recess is lighted by a swing
ing lamp OF embossed gold, filed with
perfumed oil, the soft light of which is
flashed back in thousand sparkles from
the countless tinF mirrors that cover like
scales the whole nurface of the wall.
In the alcove sit or recline upon soft
cushions about dozen women (some of
them rot yet past girlhcod), representing
all types, from the sleek, tiger like
beauty of the Circassian to the heavy,
expressionless features of the West
African Jaloof. At first sight they look
like an airy cloud Of white drapery, and
only by degrees do you take in the de-
tails of the long white veil swathed
round the forehead and floating down
the back, the loose, wide-sleeved en-
broidered jacket over thin white
bodice, the broad jeweled girdle, the
trousers of Aesh-colored silk and the
dainty little pointed slippers, stiff with
gold lace aud richly embroidered with
seed pearls.
Just at first they are rather shy of you,
but this soon wears off, aud when freed
from the overawing presence of their
portly lord and master, they crowd around
YOU and chatter to you like children, ex-
hibitiug with childish pleasure the jewels,
chains and bracelets which hang on their
smooth necks and round arms as thickly
as tinsel on Christmas doll. The first
thing to be done is to give you some
green tea, which replaces coffee in
Morocco. The sprig of mint that floats
in it is almost as great an addition as the
lemon juice used in Russia, while the ac-
companying sweetmests of almond paste,
mixed with sugar and orange flowers
bruised into honey, are equally novelties
in their way, and the quaint little handle
less cups, set like fiOwerpots in silver
stands. would make any collectors mouth
