For several weeks past d. N. Payne,
living near Tennessee Prairie, has
been missing articles of provisions
every few nights from his house. Sat-
urday night he made up his mind he
would clay" for the intruder. Load
ing his shotgun with a good charge of
fine shot he got into a convenient
place, his family retired as usual and
about II o'clock he spied his victim
carefully entering the premises. When
within good range and about TO enter
the meat house Mr.. Payne proceeded
to put large number of bird shot in
to his carcass so suddenly that he van
ished over the highboard fence quick
er than you could say "skat." 1t is
not positively known whether the in
truder had "spell of sickness" or NOT,

Ate spools of Thread.

The great charm Of a fox terrier is
that you never can tell what he is going
to do next. 1t is always the unexpected,
you may be sure. A person uptown
owns one that a short time ago sud.
denly took an unaccountable liking for
spools of thread as an article of diet.
He would swallow them whole. and his
digestion did not seem to be impaired
in the least by it. Upon one occasion
the thread had become partially un.
wound before the spool was swallowed,
and when the dog was discovered an
end was hanging out Of his mouth.
His owner took hold of the end, and
had no difficulty in reeling the thread
out, leaving the dog only the empty
spool The operation was not followed
by any disastrous results, but the ter.
rier looked as IL he had been cheated
of something, and did not wag his
stumpy tail vigorously for some time.

Ignorance Of the English.

The ignorance of the English is per
haps more versatile than among any
other civilized and enlightened nation
on the earth. Not one man in ten can
tell you how many counties there are
In England, not one in fifty the popu.
lation of Manchester, not one in q
thousand the names Of the monarchs
of England. These people actually
know nothing about their own country
nothing about the city in which they
live. The sentry stationed in front OF
Marlborough house will tell you, per.
haps. that is royal 'ighness lives there,
but he doesn't know the name of the
house. 4 policeman who for twelve
years had walked the beN in which the
great banking house of the Barings is 10.
Gated was unable to direct me to that fa-
nous institution-said he had never
heard the name before. Distance is reck.

Liverpool, seventy minutes to Harwich,

The Immensity OF Space.

For long period astronomers unsuc-
cessfully endeavored to determine the
distance between the stars and the
earth. and il is only within a compara-
lively short time that the interesting
problem can be said to have been
solved. The distance which separates
us from the nearest star is, according to
Professor Nichols. about 206. 600 times
greater than the distance from the earth
to the sun. or 95, 900. 600 of miles multi.
piled by 100000.
Alpha. in the constellation Of the
Centaur. is the star nearest the earth;
its light occupies three whole years in
travering the distance which separates
us from the little blinking orb; or, in
other words, should Alpha be blotted
out of existence today we would be
well into the summer Of 1893 before the
inhabitants of this mundane sphere
would be aware that Alpha no longer
existed. Yet light travels SO rapidly as
to occupy no perceptible space of time
in flashing around our globe.
II the sun were transported to the
place occupied by this, the nearest star,
the vast circular disk, which in morn
ing rises maiestically above the horizon
and in evening occupies a consid-
cradle time In descending entirely be-
low the same line, would have dimen.
sions puny in their insignificance. Co
lossal as the sun appears to us II would,
were it possible for it to exchange posi-.
tions with Alpha, take the Lick tele-
scope to make it appear as star of the
third magnitude. Louis Republic.

A Mean Kind Of Thieving.

A lad named Miner Bender was ar
rested for stealing Autographs. This
arrest was the revelation Of a scheme
that has been In practice for long
time, and has become extensive In its
proportions. 1t seems there is firm
here which, on the plan of old Fagin,
the Jew, In "Oliver Twist, employs lads
to steal the Autographs from the shop
windows where they have been placed
as advertisements. IL is only the pict-
ures of the most prominent actors and
actresses and those having well known
plays that are coveted. When these
small purloiners have secured a goodly
supply and have undone, perhaps, the
entire weeks work Of a theatre bill
board man. they take them TO this firm
and receive a small compensation for
the work they have performed, but
nothing for the crime. This firm has q
use for these pictures. They sell them
at a profit to the managers OF barn
storming companies, TO be used in small
country towns. Thus are the people
of these towns gulled by being made to
believe that they are seeing the popular
plays OF the times enacted by famous
actors. Thus IL is that good plays and
famous actors become undeTated In
rural communities. Chicago Herald.

The Artists Profits.

OF pictures by Meissonier the "Recit
du Siege de Berg-of-Zoom." in the Sc.
cretan sale, which fetched 20, 100 francs,
is exactly the size of a five-franc silver
piece, that is to say, smaller than one OF
our silver dollars. The picture is some.
times known among collectors as ia
Piece de Cent Sous, and it is told of il
that Meissonier painted it originally for
NJ. de Chevigne at the rate of 100 francs
an hour, and did it in three hours A
profit Of 10, 500 francs on a single picture
ought TO satisfy any one, except, posi-,
bly,, the artist. who does not profit by
the advance. Exchange.

A New Use for the Telephone.

Sir Humphrey de Trafford, of Man.

apply the telephone to the dog bust
ness. Sir Humphrey has one of the
finest kennels in England, and when
his kennelman wishes to quiet the oc-
cupant of certain apartment he goes
to the telephone In his own room and
reads the riot act to that particular
dog, for in every kennel is a telephone
device which enables him to make his
voice heard by the troublesome canine.

he was ''stumping" Florida. Arriving
at a small town about noon he started
out after dinner for n walk about the
village. on the outskirts of which he
came upon building thronSed with
people. Upon inquiry he learned that
the building was ohurch and that
wedding was about to take place He
edged his way through the crowd until
he reached spot where he had good
view of the bride and groom and the
clergyman who was to perform the cere-
mony The church was packed with

FOOLISH SEA GullS.


They Are Easily Deceived and Shot By
the Louisiana Boys.
With the breaking up of hard win.
ter the gull packs up his things and
leaves for more frigid cline. He can
not stand the balmy breezes and warm
sunshine. His system Graves billiards
and cold drilling rain, and his yearn-
ing in this direction is SO strong that
even the tempting dainties on the gar
bage scUw do not tempt him to stay
II is common sight every afternoon
during the winter to see hundreds OF
the graceful birds flying and screaming
along in the wake of the deeply laden
scow. Now the scow moves on alone
to the dumping ground on the other
side of the bay. With the return of
cold weather the gull comes back to
another season of wet and garbage. At
present the Tacoma gull is soiourning
in the region of the straits, where cold
winds blow. Should the weather grow
too warm it moves on further north
and waits for drop in the tempera
ture before venturing back.
The gull may be good judge OF
chills and fever weather, but as math.
ematician il is a monumental failure
There may be four or five hundred OBJ
jects punched or in sight of each other,
but the gull can only count one. II
there are twenty gulls flying In flock
each bird thinks he is the only one
there, according to the gull method Of
calculation. An old sea captain who
has made a study of deep water birds
and their habits is authority for the
statement that the gulls knowledge Of
arithmetic is limited to one solitary
figure.
when was youngster," said the
captain, IL lived ON the Atlantic coast,
where gulls are more numerous than
here. They gathered Oh the beach by
the thousand, where we used to shoot
them for sport. In order to get within
gunshot we would build blind or am.
bush. Eight or ten boys would arm
themselves with double barreled guns
and march along in plain view of the
birds, which would settle at distance
to watch our movements.
Before going into the blind we
would scatter quantity of feed within
gunshot of the ambush and then wait
for the victims. Then when the beach
was thickly dotted with them we would
give a broadside, each gunner letting
90 both barrels. The survivors few of
q short distance, but as soon as one OF
our number had gone out, gathered up
the dead and moved off in the opposite
direction from the blind the other gulls
returned. They had seen the whole
crowd of gunners enter the blind, but
It was only one man to them. He was
seen to leave the place and carefully
counted by the gulls. who were then
satisfied that all danger was passed.
Then we would give them another
round, after which one more gunner
would leave, and SO on until the am.
bush was vacated. 1t was a mean ad-
vantage to take of an uneducated bird,
but then We had to have some excite.
