An Amusing State of Affairs,

A novel boycott is reported from Ten
vile, a village in Georgia. 1t came
about in this way: Some days ago a
young beau bosted that he could call on
any girl in town at will, they were al so
anxious for his company. The next
evening he. was informed by a young
lady whose company be had solicited
that she had a previous engagement.
She appeared at the entertainment that
evening with a fourteen-year-old boy.
In some way the rejected beau gained
the. sympathy Of the young men of the
town, while the young lady's pluck was
Endorsed by those of her " SEX.
The young men held a meeting and
resolved to discontinue all calls on girls
of their acquaintance. Not to be out
done, the girls called 81 meeting and de-
cided to scratch the names Of the boy
cottefs off their visiting lists. The re-
suit is that young men from the neigh
boring towns are becoming favorites
with the Tenville girls, while the natives
are sitting around under the shade trees
plotting revenge.-Exchange.

Another Wandering Turtle.

Erastus North, Of Berlin, caught a
turtle last week which was first captured
by his father half a century ago. The
following letters are carved on the shell,
IL J. Lamb, a. S, E. N, 1870" The
initials "a. S" mean Albert Sanderson,
who is still living in Durham. Mr.. Lamb
and the original Erastus North are dead.
Witnesses are living who can testify
that the three men referred to marked
the turtle as above in 1910 and then per
mitted it to go free. -Hartford Courant.

He Swallow Live EraRs.

a man with one OF the most curious
propenslties lives In Shelton, Conn. He
has acquired an appetite for live bull
frogs, and swallows them with the same
ease he would swallow the most dainty
norsel that ever was cooked. The mans
name Is John Stowe, and he is employed
by Austin Harris. Stowe has been a
resident Of Shelton only a few years, but
1t was not until recently that his appe-
t1te for bullfrogs became known. One
day within a week he laid a wager that
he could swallow a frog alive, and was
at once taken up.
Wednesday the test was made on a bet
OF one dollar, five parties being present.
The first one that was brought to him
was too large to work down his throat,
and be selected one from a creek on the
Harris farm small enough to go down.
He placed the frog head first in his
mouth, showed the remainder in with
his fingers, and in an instant the a1nphi-
biOus animal was out Of sight and prob
ably jumping around his stomach. The
story Of the feat at once spread, and
within a few days there were a numberof
doubling ThOmases who, notwithstand-
ing the undoubted integrity Of the many
witnesses, did not believe that. Stowe
could swallow a live frog of their selec-
ton.
Stowe was willing to try the thing
again, and ~winking, SO to speak, to his
friend, took another bet and appointed
the day. On Monday the second frog
was swallowed, and the witnesses pres
ent were again astounded. Stowe is
ready at any time to swallow a frog on
a bet, and as frogs are numerous at pres
ent he scoops in lots Of dollars from
workmen with whom he comes in con-
tact. He says he does not feel any bad
effect, as they are dead shortly after
landing in the stomach. The food, he
says, is excellent, and people eat much
worse things every day. They are just
as good as live oysters or live CLAIMS, or
ven live scallops Sun.

Tom Craig's Wonderful Pig.

Our friend, Jacob Staff, sends us the
following, and assures Us that it is a gen.
uine article:
1.-The owners of fox dogs in Harrison
county have all been telling about thei1
fine dogs and their achievements; but
Captain Tom Craig now comes to the
front with a story Of a pig that discounts
all the dog yarns that the fox dog own
ers have been spinning. Captain Craig,
being accOsted with this scribe's usual
salutation-'tell me something'-said: Il
have a fox dog that want to tell you
about. He Is of the "root-hog-or-die"
species, and is about 3 months old, and
was a present to my little boy from my
neighbor, Henry Stevens. He is a COM
mon looking speckled pig, and has been
raised a pet with the puppies. He eats
and sleeps with them, and when | go
hunting he goes too, and will stay out
with u three hours at a time.
cot would amuse you to see him cir.
cling to come in and head thedogs when
they get to far ahead of him. OF course
he cannot keep up with them when they
are running fast. The other night we
were out hunting and the pig got be-
hind, but he cut in and soon caught Us,
and was with us at the tree. would
have paid a good price for a picture OF
the cen at this tree. The dogs laid
down, one Of them drawing a bed of
leaves around him. The pig went and
laid down with him, putting his head on
the dogs forefeet, which were crossed"

Scared nv the PbODOpraDh.

One Of the African conveys of King
Gungrunhama in London, the other day,
was nearly frightened to death by a
p~honograph. He talked to the instru-
ment and when it repeated his words to
him he fell on the floor in a swoon. 1t
was some time before he gained courage
to ask questions, as he thought a witch
doctor was in the photograph. He pro-
posed to silence the witch by stuffing a
dried frogs leg into the instrument,
along with some other charms he had
with him. Having been dissuaded from
this and the matter explained, he said it
was no use for him TO tell lies, as all his
words were recorded.-London Letter.

A New Find at Milo.

Milo, the island of the Cyclades in
which the famous Venus of Milo was
discovered, has again been the scene of
the unearthing of splendid example of
ancient Hellenic art. The new find" is
the marble statue of a boxer, somewhat
above life size, which is almost as per
feet after its burial under the dust of
centuries as it was when it came fresh
from the hands of its sculptor. The
statue has been shipped to Athens, where
a commission of Greek psychologists,
aided by some members of the German
Archaeological institute in Athens, will
report upon the period of its origin and
It's probable creator.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A Preparation for the Ratb

Those who are troubled with offensive
perspiratiOn would do we'll when talking
a bath to use q preparation made as fol
lows: Take Of soap powder and powdered
borax each one-half ounce; essence of
bergamot, six drains; oil of lemon and
oil of neroli, Of each two drains; Oil of
rosemary, thirty drops; altar of roses.
five drops.
Or, if this is too expensive, the drug
gist can use the soap and borax and sub
stitute cheaper perfumes. The oils should
be well rubbed with these bases in a
mortar and put into a bottle, which
should be kept corked and in a cool place.
One-half to one tablespoonful may be
added to an ordinary bathtub full of
water. This will be sufficient for clean
illness; at the same time it will prove an
admirable deodorizer. Boston Herald.

All day the FcaPers on the hill
Have piled their task with sturdy will,
But now the field is void and still:
And, wandering thithcr, / have found
The bearded spears in sheaves well bound.
And stacked in many a golden mound.
And while cool evening suavely grows,
And DER the sunsets dying rose
The first great white sta throbs and CLOVIS
And from the clear east, red of glare,
The ascendant harvest moon floats fair
Through dreamy deeps and purple air.
And in among the slanted sheaves
4 tender light its glamour weayes,
4 lovely light that lures, d~eceiyes-
Then swayed by Fancy's dear command.
Amid the past | seem to stand,
In hallOwed Bethlehem's harvest land!
And through the dim field, 2 deserted
A homeward host of shadows glide,
And sickles CLEAN on every side.
Shadows Of man and maid | trace,
With shapes of strength and shapes OF
grace,
Yet gaze but on a single face
A candid brow, still smooth with youths
A tranquil smile; a mien Of truth

The inquiry among French authors as
to. the relative value of the real and
ideal in fiction called forth the following
from a lady: In order to charm and at
tract me a novel should be sentimental,

of my ordinary existence, which weighs
me down on account of its vulgarity and
commonplace, which follows me every

Good Machines and Poor Workmen.

1t does not pay to fit up a shop with
poor machinery if you want good work,
nor do you want to put bad workmen in
charge of your expensive tools. You are
doing things by halves, introducing a
bull into your china shop, and playing
with fire in a manner that is certain to
result in burned fingers. Good machines
will never do good work in the hands of
poor mechanics, and although a good
workman will often do wonders with
the poorest of tools, the combination is
not economical, and is usually ~unsatis-
factory to employer and employed. Good
tools operated by competent mechanics
last longest, do the best work, produce
in every way the most satisfactory re-
suits, and are always cheapest in the
long run.-Safety Valve.

Spiders Perseverance Not Appreciated.

SpiueFS perseverance, NOC appreciated.
Ever since the story Of Robert Bruce
and the spider that insect has been pro-
verbally held up to view as an example
of pertinacious skill. An attempt to
establish instinct as a guide to reason is,
however, a fallacy. The setting hen is
an example Of instinct, not maternal
constancy. This perseverance of spiders
may have been an encouragement to
Robert Bruce, but it is often a discour-
agement in engineering work. In sink
ing plumb lines down shafts for middle
headings in tunneling in order to obtain
an alignment forthe tunnel, the accuracy
of the work is often seriously impaired
by spiders attaching their webs to the
lines and drawing them toward the
walls. often with sufficient tension to in
troduce material errors il the position Of
the plumb bobs.-Cor. Engineering

DEVID'S COAT.
An Example of What Patience and Per-
severance VIII Accomplish.

An Example of What Patience and Per-
severance VIII Accomplish.
David Robertson. the Scotch natural
lst, had, when a boy, rather an unusual
experience in clothing himself, and the
method he adopted seems amusingly
different from that of boys in our own
days who, when they want a new
jacket, ask for it or go without.
David was early apprenticed TO n
farmer, to herd the cattle, and one day
he went to 4 fair with his master, and
there gained n prize of twenty shillings
by running race. When he reached
home his mistress offered him, for the
pound, enough of her homemade wool
len cloth for coat; and though David
iOyfully acce pied it, he was disap-
pointed at finding that the tailor would
not make his yearly visit to the house
for some time.
With the Impotence of youth, he
begged his mistress to let him make the
coat himself. At first she refused, but
when David persisted she agreed to the
wild project, STIMULATING, however, that
he should take all the responsibility,
and ask help of no one.
The boy began by carefully ripping
his old coat in pieces for pattern, and
by this he cut the new one; first num-
bering the pieces in chalk, that he
might know how to put them together.
As all his time belonged TO his master,
he was obliged to take his sewing out
into the pasture; and there, after a
month of laborious work, the new coat
was completed The buttons came from
an old coat which had been discarded
by his master, and the thread with
which it was put together had been
spun and dyed at the house.
When David showed his mistress the
new coat, she was loud in praise of it,
and declared that not even the tailor
could have done it better. One thing,
however, it needed, and that was
careful pressing, which he was allowed
to give it at the house.
The hardest task of all remained, for
he was obliged to remake his old coat,
and as the seams were frayed and deli
cate, he had to exercise great care in
joining them again. Another month,
and this task also was done. Then was
David the proud possessor of two coats.
