A PUTIN CHANGED.

chievous little creatures, who started out
together one fine morning along the cliffs
just to pass the time for an hour or two.
They had not gone far when they spied a
rabbit hole, above which there was large
board with the words, "Mr. Rabbit back
in five minutes" written on it. Now these
pufiins, although they were young, knew
enough of the world TO be sure that when
any one puts up notice outside his door,
Back in five minutes" ," it really means
that he has gone out for long time and
does not know when he will be back. So
they thought they would explore the bur-
row, and if the rabbit chanced to come
back while they were inside so much the
better. 1t would give him fright. SO In
they went.
But it happened that Mr.. Rabbit had
been out for a long scamper over the cliffs,
and he came Looping up just as the pufiins
disappeared down the hole. He suspected
nothing, and after looking round to be
sure that no one saw him he popped into
his burrow, singing softly to himself,
Home, Sweet Homem A second or two
after and out he came with bounce, his
eyes starting out Of his head with fright

slers with "Haltl Who are you" And yet

Injured any one--on Long Island at any
rate
Tom Richardson is u native Of Islip and
the oldest of large family, all respectable,
as he was. He went west, became a cow
boy and returned n dashing hero. He was
the best shot by far that Islip, Bay Shore
and all that rural region had ever seen.
The girls were captivated by the dashing
fellow and he soon married the beautiful
daughter of Justice Waller, Of Bay Shore.
He "lived on the old man." as the phrase
there goes, till the justice ordered him to
get out and not return till he was able to
maintain wife. He disappeared and soon
a system of miscellaneous robbery began,
the articles taken being chiefly clothes,
food and furniture.
At length he was seen in the woods, and
n systematic hunt resulted in the discovery
of two caves. The larger was ten feet
square, well boarded up on the sides and
overhead and lavishly supplied with stolen
furniture and bedding. The other cave
was palmer affair, and was evidently his
retreat and stronghold In the main cave
was stout post, and to that post was fas-
tened very stout chain, which terminated
in smaller chain, so arranged that it
would just about fit around woman's
waist. And finally the entrance to the
caves and their airshafts were most in
geniously concealed, being so covered rs to
look like ordinary plots Of grass.
Out of all these and other facts Justice
Waller constructed the theory that Tom
Richardson intended to kidnap his wife
(the Justices daughter) and chain her in
the cave to starve to death. "What he
wants is revenge on me-" says the squire.
The neighbors are little more charitable,
and but little; they think Tom intended to
hold his wife as a prisoner till she agreed to
leave the country with him or something
else was done. All the same they went af-
ter him 200 strong, aud many ludicrous
night alarms resulted. The Giving cave"
as they call 1t, Is an artistic affair. The stove
pipe came up In such way as to make an
imitation stump. The ventllator holes
were fitted with little tin tubes, also fixed
like stumps. All this in a low and swampy
tract, where, nevertheless, the sandy sub
soil kept the cave dry. And about this
cave half Il dozen men watched day and
night for some time, with rifles leveled to
shoot the outlaw when he "came home"
but it seems that he "got onto" their
scheme too quick

and all his outstanding on end. "Murderp
he screamed, What's thatp And turning
tail he rushed away as if one were shoot
ing at him. And presently the two mis-
chievous little puffins appeared, grinning
with delight. What fright the old chap
was in" said one to the other.
But the rabbit never got over the fright.
He went mad, stuck straws in the fur Of
his head, and the next morning he danced
over the edge of the cliff and fell down,
down-past the rows of puflins, past the
old cormorant sitting on jagged point Of
rock, past the cloud of screaming gulls
which were swirling round and round
splash into the sea far below. And his
body went so far down that q big old lob
ster who lived IN a Granny of the rock got
hold of it and made hearty meal of the
remains of poor bunny. The pufIins got
off that time, but one can foresee that their
tricks may some time end in trouble for
them

A Boys Composition on Cats.

Cats don't like to swim, and never do ex
cept it's an old cat that you want to gel
rid of and you do her up in bag with
some bricks and throw her into a mil
pond off the bridge, and then she'll burst
the bag and swim ashore and kite for
home, SOS to be there to welcome you
there, SOS you won't feel lonesome.
Our cat lives in the house what times
she don't live over to Jones' barn. She is
real handy to throw stones at and to pull
her tail and make her squawk. | make
her squawk ten or six times day, and the
backs of my hands is drawed out in lines
like map, where her toe nails has got
hitched.
Cats can climb telegraph poles and set
on the ridgepoles of four story houses
without being dizzy headed, and they can
sleep with one eye open and lay awake
with both eyes shut.

CoMICAL BIRDS.

The Mischieyous Trick Which Two Little
Punlns Played Upon Poor Mr. Rabbit.
Do you know what putin isp Well,
the putin is funny little black and white
bird, about foot in length, with big,
colored beak, which makes the creature
look as If it had put it's head into tea
cozy. On the rocky cliffs Of some sea
coasts you may see rows of pufIins, sitting
and bowling and uodding to each other In
a very comical way. They sit very up
right, as diving birds generally do when
they are ashore, and they look like lot OF
stout old gentlemen in black coats and
white waistcoats chattering together. II
you look at the first picture, you will see
how easy IL is TO turn putin into an old
gentleman.
The puilins make their nests in the
crevices of the rocks. and very often they
use rabbits burrow for home, turning
out the poor bunnies. Well, the puflins |

l would have two wire covered cylin-
ders, one within the other. The inside
one should be of a larger mesh so that
nothing but earth and small potatoes
could pass through, and the outside one
of such mesh as to allow only thepassage
of the dirt. By the addition of another
cylinder, another sorting of potatoes
could be made. The inside cylinder
should extend about four inches farther
than the outside one, so as to make a
more convenient fitting for the boxes
through which the potatoes would slide.
l think such an arrangement would be
much better than other sorters l have
seen illustrated. 1t would be better than
the Hoover scrter, because the dirt would
DO separated from the small potatoes,
and two sortings could bemade, ifneeded.
One advantage it would have over the
Collins sorter, would be that there would
be more certainty Of separating the soil
from the small tubers. / should suppose
that in the Collins sorter, if the potatoes
were thrown in too fast, the small ones
would fall out beyond the lower screen
and tumble to the ground.

Importance of Young, vigorous Queen.

Importance of Young, Vigorous Queens.
1t is very important that every colony
in the apiary should have q young and
vigorous queen at its head, for on the
queen depends the best results in bee
keeping. lam not an advocate of killing
queens at two years, or even three years
of age, if they are doing good work. The
bees will generally attend to the super
seding business; but they cannot always
be depended upon. Therefore, record
of each queen should be kept on each
hive, SO that one can know the exact age
Of each queen, when examining the hives
at any time.
If bees tolerate a slow laying queen,
and are loath to supersede her, one has
only to refer to his record for the why
and wherefore. If such colony is
found, there should be no delay on the
part of the apiarist in supplying a new
queen. The simplest and most natural
manner Of changing the queen is to slip
in cell from one Of the best colonies in
the apiary twenty-five hours after the
old queen has been taken away. If none
but the best drones are allowed to fly
during the mating season, all the young
queens will meet with selected stock.
This can be accomplished by the use Of
trap having perforated metal large
enough topass queen, yet small enough
to exclude the drones.
1t is important to introduce queens
from distance at least once year. BY
breeding in new blood occasionally, the
standard of the bees will be gradually
raised, if the breeder of the queens has
good stock, and is an experienced man
in this particular branch of our industry.

Parnoll Refuses TO Pay Costs in the
O'Shea Divorce Case

LONDON, July 1S.-In connection with
the statement made in Dublin that Mr..
Parnell had paid the costs in the O'Shea
divorce case, Captain O'Shea's solicitors
write that such is not the case. They
say that Mr.. Parnell offered to pay one
half of the costs in May last, and the
balance within one month thereafter.
This proposition, the solicitors say, was
accepted by Captain O'Shea, but moth
ing has since been heard by Captain
O'Shea or themselves from Mr.. Parnell.
The solicitors declare that they have ex-
perienced the greatest difficulty in serv-
ing the bankruptcy order on Mr.. Par
