death she carried out her plan, and
went joyously on her way to Paneca,
But her fate, in the person of a way
farer, stepped in, resurrected Seekaboo
and cast gloom over two hearts in the
very midst of the fandango.
A BUTLER in London brought action
against his former employer for the
libel said to lie in reply to an inquiry
about the buffers character, which
said: 81 discharged John Walsh for
insolence." In consequence Of this he
lost subsequent engagement. The in
science had been shown to the defend
ants wife, and was not denied. The
Judge said that it was for the plaintiff to
show malicious misrepresentation on
defendants part, and the jury gave
verdict for the latter.
A COMPANY has been formed to rent
out steamer chairs for 81 a trip across
the ocean. The chairs are supplied
with little tables designed to hold
plate, tumbler and bottle. Several
thousand of these rented chairs are
now in use, and the demand for them
is constantly increasing. The idea is
that most travellers would rather pay 81
for the rent of a steamer chair than buy
one and be bothered with storing it
when they get to Europe.
JAMES B. SwIGERT, of Carlisle Springs,
Pa, is the possessor of an old turkey
gobbler which is now doing the duty of
fowl of the feminine gender. Mr..
Swigert few days ago missed the COB
bier, but subsequently found him in
field Matching a nest of eggs. The old
fellow sat very contentedly, and seems
greatly pleased with doing the duties of
a mother The turkey hen which laid
the eggs which the gobbler is Matching,
is now laying in another nest.
A CARGO of alligator hides arrived at
Galveston, Tex, few days ago en- route
from Mexico to New York.
AN extraordinary feat in telephoning
was recently accomplished between st.
Petersburg and Boulogne, distance of
2,465 miles; conversation was kept up
Notwithstanding a rather high induc-,
ton. The Russian engineers propose to
converse by telephone over distance
of 1865 miles.
J. NJ LAKE has in his yard at Webster,
w. Va, a jack rabbit that was sent to
him from Kansas last March. When it
came it was very small, not being larger
than a mouse, but now it has grown I'M
til it is much larger than the ordinary
rabbit found here, while it's ears are
over six inches long.
NINE-TENTIIs of the dolls sold in this
country are said to come from Germany,
and the principal seat of manufacture
there is Sonneberg, in Thuringen, a
town of about 10000 inhabitants. Doll
making is almost the entire industry of
the place. 1t is not remunerative, as
the people are very poor, owing to the
low wages paid.
A MARE belonging to Thomas Ballard,
living near Montezuma, Ia, gave birth
to colt that had lump on its jaw,
which prevented it from sucking. The
lump was cut off, and on being opened,
was found to contain a lot of small-slzed
rattlesnakes. Mr.. Ballard says the day
after the mare was bred she was bitten
by rattlesnake, but suffered no serious
effect. The question that puzzles local
scientists is by what means the rattle
snakes were propagated in the colts
jaw.
THERE are many people in Cincinnati
who speak and read French. There are
so many of them, indeed, that the big
bookstores down town always keep in
stock very large supply of French
novels. There is quite a colony of
French people in the city, and they.are
good customers of the booksellers. Most
of them subscribe for French newspa-
per, and one bookstore has on list $50
subscribers for a French daily newspa-
per published in New York.
TIE smallest economy in the dairy is
important. A pound of meal wasted
daily equals 365 lbs in the year, which
per cent. Food is wasted when it is not
turned into milk 1t is wasted when
too much is used, and just the same
when there is not enough. The man
who buried his talent in the earth,
wasted it, and so the man who fails to
give his COWS all the food that they can
turn into milk and butter, wastes both
COWS and feed. Hence the necessity
for testing the ability of every cow to
consume food proftably.
A NEGRO who was bitten in the leg by
a rattlesnake in the woods near Naldos-
ta Ca, q few days ago, was treated as
follows: The snake, which chung to the
limb, was killed, tight cord tied around
the bitten leg, then the snake was cut
in pieces and the warm flesh applied to
the bite. The negro was removed at
once to the quarters, and as soon as pos
sible several roots of the prickly ash Sc
cured, which can be found in almost any
old field. Warm water was poured over
these roots and a poultice made and I'M
medlatelV applied TO the NouHO. Inc
virulence of the poison soon colored
the poultice green, and fresh one
would be substituted, until, in the course
of an hour, the green failed to show
any further In the meantime the
negro was given a large quantity of
fresh, sweet milk to drink. He soon
recovered, and is now doing we'll.
