Mr.. Hornet .Mns Not Fooled.

A gentleman was relating a recent
Sunday incident in which figured a
farmer, a colored farm hand. a hornets
nest, some hornets and bull,
though the last took small part. A
bull was standing in the orchard under
a tree on which was a hornets nest.
The colored man concluded he would
have some fun. The farmer was a
quiet onlooker. The eolored man got
some stones, stood off at what seemed
safe distance, and proceeded to stir
up those hornets and get them to light
on the bull
Mr.. Hornet appeared TO be of a dis
corning mind, took in the situation,
found the bull on his good behavior,
and struck out for the thrower of those
stones. Probably the reader may have
monkeyed with a hornet, and knows
from experience how straight he shoots.
He shot that colored man over the eye.
and then the fun began at the wrong
end of the line. Such running and
yelling were never before heard or seen.
Everybody laughed but the colored
man. and even the bull appeared to
grin.-West Chester Pa.) Republican.

Electrical Cranks.

DO you see that man there who has
just picked up something from the edge
of the sidewalkl' asked a gentleman
well posted on electrical matters. He
has the latest fool craze on the brain,
for he has been following that electric
light tender about for the last ten
minutes in order TO gather few of
the stubs of the electric are light car
bons which are thrown away. These
he will carry in his pockets under the
insane impression that some of the
electricity left over from last nights
lighting may soak into his system and
ease up tribe on some pain or other.
Poor fellowI He is more deluded
than the man who wears potato in
the left band pocket of his trousers to
cure him of rheumatism. Why, there
is no more electricity in those carbons
than in the bread that fellow may have
eaten for breakfast
1t is astonishing" continued the
speaker, what queer notions some peo-
pie have about wearing electrical and
magnetic appliances. The theory is
quite universal that magnetism attracts
the iron in the blood, and thus gives
rise to better circulation. But all the
iron which exists in the human system
is combined with hydrochloric acid. and
is in the form of the oxide of that metal,
and in this state the magnet has no
power over the oxide of iron."-Wash-
ington Post.

Never mind the beggars in Rome who
aecost you on your way to the eating
house. They are stout, hearty rogues
as a rule, with rare trick of grooming
aft1ictingly at sight Of a stranger. Not
so long ago one of them used to ride
daily into Rome on his own cob from
his country seat. He amassed a respect,
able fortune by sitting with outstretched
palms on the stone steps which ascend
from the Piazza di Spagna, and gave
his daughter dowry of 1000 crowns
That, however was in the days of the
popes, when mendacity was a recog
nized profession, quite as reputable as

One of the most promising schemes
by which a fortune was not made was
that of an inventor of much mechan-
zeal genius who got up a plan for get
ting the gold out of the Georgia rivers.
Most of the streams which flow from
the gold districts of Georgia have
''color" in their sands. but not always
in paying quantities. This man pro-
posed to build a boat $50 feet long. and
have sluice running all the way round
it, thus giving n sluice length of 500
feet Then by steam shovel arrange
ment he intended to scrape up the sand
out of the bottom of the river and drop
it in the sluice. through which a stream
of water would always be running.
The gold would collect in the bot
tom, as in any other sluice, and at in
tervals there would be a cleaning up"
which lie expected would be highly
profitable. As soon as one locality was
exhausted the boat would move on to
another, and, to use a common expires.
sion, he thought there were millions in
it. The scheme was never tried. for
before he was ready to put it into oper-
alton he found an opening in Colorado
and went out there, but great many
people in Georgia believed it to be per
fectly practicable, and regretted that
the experiment was not made.-Cor.

IT isn't much consolation to know

Take what little consolation you
can get out of it friend Light, but it
seems to us that paper that be-
ieves that Texas will wheel into the
Republican party by 1898, could
laugh at the recent defeat, with the
consolation of such a victory such
turn as the Light assumes to be-
lieve will occur in 1898.

Owing perhaps to the fact that
people don't change clothes so often
in cold weather, as during the heated
summer term. there has been de

contemplated for the past week, but
the consumation of which was de-

There are three species Of the deer kind
of animals, which are explained AS fol-
lows for Little Men and Women; the
moose. the deer and caribou. The largest
is the moose. Sometimes they are a. large
as the largest horses. They have heavy,
lofty horns, or antlers; these spread ont in
shape like the open fingers OF the hand.
They shed these horns once year, usually
in February. They add one new prong
every year, beginning when two years old,
so by counting the horns yOu can tell how
old moose il. The horns are not shed all
at one time, but come of one by one a. the
moose Tubs against trees.
The moose Is called the most noble ami
NAL Of the forests. In the state OF Maine
the white pine is called the finest and most
noble Of forest trees. SO the moose and
the pine tree are on the shield In the coat OF
arms as the great seal Of the sta.s Of
