A Deer Kills a Rattlesnake.

James Milton, who has been stopping
up at Bowman's dam for week or more,
chronicles western paper), fys that
while out hunting in d !adhorse fiat, on
Canyon Creek, he witnessed novel
spectacle. While walking along looking
for game he saw some distance ahead
deer bounding up and down in the same
track. The motion was so peculiar that
he forgot to shoot, but kept advancing.
The animal at last saw him and darted
into thicket. Being curious to know
what the animal had been doing he APP
preached the spot and found rattle
snake almost beaten into the ground.
The deer was evidently killing the reptile
when he first discovered him.

The First Express Package.

The first express package carrier was
rather consumptive looking young
man of the name of Harnden (his given
name has escaped my memory, who in
1885 instituted the business in New York
city by calling on bankers, brokers and
merchants with a carpet bag and solicit.
ing the carrying of money and other val
liable packages between that city and
Boston. Like all new undertakings, it
was not long before a competitor APP
peared in the person of Alvah Adams,
who selected Philadelphia as his objec-
tive point, and who adopted the same
tactics as Harnden. James Hoey, who
is now prominent figure in "The
Adams Express Company" and re-
puted millionaire, was at that time
young Irish boy employed to sweep out
ten by fifteen office on William street,
west side, between Wall and Pine, and
to deliver and call for packages which
became too large for the carpet bag.
The business grew rapidly, the trunk
took the place of the carpet bag, sue
ceeded by iron-bound crates strongly
padlocked, which had to give way to box
cars on truck wheels, for the convenience
of transfer from the New York and
Providence line of steamboats, to the
Boston and Providence railroad. Harm
den continued the eastern route aud
Adams the southern. Later on a con-
solidation took place under the present
title, and Harndcn's express was merged
into the Adams Express Company

The Prairie Farmer does not take

The Speaker of London has made a
study of novel heroes. Out of 1872 of
these gentlemen that came out between
October and June last it is discovered
that eighty-flve stood six feet, while
many were even taller. Compared with
those of the nine months preceding last
October the heroes of the period in ques-
ton show an increase in height averag-
ing three-quarters of an inch per hero.
1t is observed that lady writers show a
marked tendency to make their male
characters tall. The reading public
would willingly allow some of the fair
novelists the right to lengthen their he
roes to any extent if they could only be
induced to shorten their stories.

And the zephyrs of fame propitious blow,

In love, war, politics give hun show,
And when he wins he's sure to repent
He'd rather have this or that, you know
To Congress he no longer wants to go
Or the girl he used to love and adore,
Won and his wife. seems little slow
And the average man wants something more!
Not the winter alone brings discomfort,
Though he bitterly growls at the frost and
The seasons to worry him all are sent,
And he'd rather have this or that, you
know.
When the mercury's high he wants it low;
Some feature or other he's sure to deplore
The pessimist pines for an unknown woe,
And the average man wants something
more.

And he'd rather have this or that, you

You may give of all things good galore,
But the average man wants something

IN THE SHADOW.

erear is the night with its wavering light,
And the moon is under a cloud,
Each planet afar the wrath of a star
Gleatis pale in its mist-woven shroud,
Lovel
So wan In its chilling, white shroud!
Weary the feet on the desolate street
That bear my burden and me;
My comrades are gone, and am alone.
To think of heaven and thee,
Love,
To dream of heaven and thee!
Hungering In my loneliness sigh
For thee and all that thou art,
For the lovelight that lies in thy glorious
eyes
To cheer my ramishing heart.
Love,
To cheer nay desolate heart!
Vain the desirel Hopes bright beacon fire
Burns dimly in lifes autumn rain,
While walk these lone ways and long for
the days
That will dawn for me never again,
Love.
The days that will dawn not again!

ga noticeable thing about the statues
found in our museums of art, and sup
posed to represent the perfect figures of

metrical perfection these feet could not
be better. A Greek sculptor would not
think of such thing as putting a nine
inch foot on five-and one half-foot wo-
