While William Harris and his son
james were at the McKim farm, Steuben-
vile, on the West Virginia side of the
river, two horses, hitched at the side Of
the barn, slipped their brides and start
ed to run away. Harris, seeing the run
away, tried TO head the horses, causing
them TO turn and 60 through fence in
TO n yard where there were thirty bee
hives. Three hives We're knocked over
by the horses.
Thousands of bees swurmed over the
horses, which lay down in the harness
moaning piteously AS young Harris
could not see the horses suffer he cut
the traces with q butcher knife. while
the bees attacked him. He started the
horses off. When loose from the cattle
crate the horses ran in all directions in
the fields, uttering unnatural squeals, at
times rolling in the grass, moaning ten
ribly.
One horse lay down in a creek, where
it rolled and shrieked till death ended
its suffenngs The other horse was
caught and hay burned under it, but the
horse died in a short time Both were
fine animals Young Harris was stung
badly but he was bathed in tub OF
soda water, counteracting the poison. --

some Noted Jews.

"There is Jewl' said the Rev. DIR,
Blank, as lie sat in his study with Jew
hater, and pointed 10 a plaster cast OF
Michael Angeles magnificent head OF
Moses. "And there is another Jewl" he
added, as he pointed TO painting Of the
Veronica Christ. And there are yet
other Jews" he continued, as he glanced
around his walls at the pictures of the
prophets, apoe ties and sages, from David
and jeremiah 20 Paul and Peter eyes,
my Christian brot her, these are Jews,
and are they not men who have voiced
the highest thought of the world for
ages, whose teaching is the guide of our

Il pian.t Mork.

A doctor on the north side played a
neat little trick upon his wife. Ever
since she first met him he has been
bearded like the pard, and both whis-
kers and mustache have been regarded
as no inconsiderable part Of his profes-
sionAl outfit. The lady was returning
from the country, and her lord was to
meet her at the depot. He usually wears
Prince Albert black coat and a tall
silk hat, as becometh the dignity Of q
medicine man. He changed all that
upon the appointed day.
First he went and had his face clean
shaved. He then purchased a straw
hat with blue ribbon band, and hastened
to array himself in light suit, Of which
the coat was a short sack, buttoned NJ
TO the chin. He saw his wife looking
out for him, and, keeping his head
turned down, he approached the car and

Freak of a somnambulist.

A young man who is well known in
this city had an unpleasant experience 9
short time ago. He is a somnambuhst
and often does peculiar things in his
sleep. He went to visit some friends ir
Waterbury, and as he was not in the
habit of retiring as early as the members
Of the family he was visiting, he re
manned up and took his shoes off before
ascending the stairs.
A few nights after his return to his
home he lay down ON lounge and fell
asleep. After sleeping soundly bali
hour he arose, walked to the foot Of the
stairs, took off his shoes, and not being
content with doing that, he drew of his
stockings also. He then clambered up
stairs to his room. Taking a match from
his pocket he brought one of his feet nj
so that he could reach the bottom OF. IL
and then deliberately scratched the
match on the fiat surface.
The matah did not light Immediately
but he kept on scratching. Finally the
match did light. The holder was uncon
scious of the fact and kept on scratch
ing. Suddenly he awoke in great pair
from the burn. he limped about fol
several days, and since that time ques
tions about the proper mode of lighting
match have been distasteful to him.

About Thunder clouds.

Among the earliest symptoms Of the
approach Of thunder storm is the ap-
pearance on the western horizon of a
line of cumulus C'wool pack'D clouds,
exhibiting a peculiar turreted structure
| say on the western horizon, for most
Of our changes Of weather come from
that quarter, and it has been proved that
thunder storms, like wind storms, ad-
vance over the country generally from
some westerly point. This bank of clouds
moves on, and over it appear first stream
ers and then sheets Of lighter upper
clouds Cirrus, or "mare's tail') which
spread over the sky with extreme rapid
ity The heavy cloud mass comes up
under this film, and it is a general OBJ
servation that no electric explosion or
downfall of rain ever takes place from a
cloud unless streamers Of cirrus emanat-
ing from its upper surface are visible
when the cloud is looked at sideways
from distance. New Orleans Picayune.

Hostile Neighbors IN Africa Who lfav'
Estabilshed a No Mans Land.

Hostile Neighbors IN Africa Who Have
Hstabtlshed No Mans Land.
A little British expedition recently
steamed far mp the Benue branch Of the
Niger river in small steam launch, and
finally entered a tributary of the Benue
and explored a region which no white
man has ever visited before The most
interesting thing about their journey
was the curious experience they had
with the natives.
They had been passing for good
while through a region that was inhab.
tied by Moslem blacks, fruits of the
rather severe methods Of conversion
employed by tho Arab invaders Of the
Soudan. The country was very fertile,
and the people were numerous; but
all of a sudden, though the country still
wore its usual aspect, and the soil was
apparently rich, population entirely
ceased. For a stretch of over twenty
miles not hut was to be seen, nor was
a single sign Of human life anywhere oh
served. The expedition wondered AZ
this remarkable state of affairs, for the
country was certainly inviting, and they
could not imagine why it had no inhab
itants.
All at once, however, as they rounded
a bend in the river they saw big crowds
of natives running down the slopes Of
the hill to the bank. They brandished
their spears at the white men on the lit,
tie boat, and told them to go back, foI
they wanted no Moslems in their coun-
try. There was an interpreter on the
vessel, who succeeded in convincing the
natives that the visitors were not Mos.
lens, and thereupon the people became
quite friendly.
Then the reason for this cursous lack
Of population was ascertained. When
the tribes who had been converted to
Islam found the natives near them were
just as strong as they were, the spread
of their religion in that direction alb.
ruptly ceased but these heather people
and the Moslem converts near them
could not live at peace with one another.
It was finally decided that as they could
not be good neighbors, stretch OF
country should be placed between them
where no one should live, and in that
way they expected to get along with
less bloodshed.
So all the people who inhabited this
fertile region, about twenty miles wide
packed up their little belongings and
moved away, and the stretch of country
thus came to be without single inhab-
liant Today it is a No Mans Land
and the only reason is that the people
who are neighbors there cannot live on
friendly terms, and, having tired Of
fighting, have put this barrier between
them. -. Boston Herald.

A Poor Sportsman.

We have all encountered him in the
field, the man who howls like maniac
at his dog, 1t is not because the dog is
deaf, for even if he were there would be
no need of the bowling and shrielking,
but it is that the howler knows not bit
better. He has the notion that a hunt.
ing dog must be worked like sledge
dog amid Arctic ice fields. and so he
makes an Esquinau of himself every
time he goes shooting. And none Of us
ever yet saw dog that worked any bet
ter for the racket than he might work,
or might at least have been trained to
work, without it.-Forest and Stream.

THE FRENCH WAY.

In each country the profession retains
its own particular methods. The Span
lard, like the South American, does not
attempt to operate save in tolerably
thick crowd; the Italian works generally
only on ladies, and badly, because he is
too precipitate; the Turk is fearless,
awkward, audacious, and even in the
clutches of the police, with one hand
pinioned, attempts to steal with the
other. The French make speciality of
recognition, which is effected by one
pal affecting to recognize in some inno-
cent, rustic looking individual a relation
or old friend, eftusively falling ON his
or her neck; while the error Is explained
aud apologies offered the deed is done by
an associate. The most dangerous Of
that species is the becoteuse, usually q
ySung and very pretty girl, who rushes
ln'O the arms Of benevolent old man,
6GNes him on both cheeks and calls him
q S1cle," relationship he will have good
cA~se to remember, as it has cost him
sIl his portable property.
The utter earelessness Of the public
facilitates the operations of the pick
pockets to a degree which has often
elected from them expressions of wither-
ing contempt. To supplement the legend
which bids people beware of them, the
authorities would do well to afix few
dmple rules, the Observance of which
would be an effective protection. Lon
