A Graveyard Rabbit.

There is an old graveyard in Clarke
County, Georgia, which is held in super
stitious fear by the neighborhood. One
story about it is that rabbit has taken
up it's homo there and burrows in a
sunken grave. The boards covering the
vault have rotted, leaving a cavern ex~
tending into the coffin itself. For long
time n rabbit has used the den as lair
and can be seen at almost any hour en-
tering or leaving the cavern. Time and
again the hunters have sought to kill
this particular rabbit, but it is like
firing at sun ray. The little quad
rupcd seems quite tame and will invite
IL near approach of the sportsman, but
upon the discharge of his gun Br'er
Rabbit bounds off unframed. And no
dog, either, can be found to chase the
rabbit any distance. They will run it
few yards and then return to their
owners with mystified look and their
tails dangling between their legs.

Tho Banner Had Two Sides.

During the recent military maneuvers
In Hanover the German Emperor was
highly delighted with the honors show
cred upon him. With the King of Sax
ony no considered them proof of the
complete resignation Of the people and
their submission to the new order of
things. While driving through small
village In the course OF his journey to his
surprise he suddenly came upon magnif-
iccnt triumphal arch across the broadcast
street OF the peasant town. Upon the
sido facing him as no entered were tho
words; "Welcome to his Imperial Maj
csty." He was so charmed with tho
evidence Of loyalty that, after passing
under tho arch, he turned about to adj
miro its beauty again with his Majesty
OF Saxony. But what was his surprise
to read on tho reverse side the words:
Johann Bach, best brewery In the viii
lagc. Beer, three cents quart" They
both laughed over it long and hard. M.

A SYNDICATE of French merchants has

with the view of raising the finest wool
in Central Asia.

Unmarried and Free.
There was one maiden lady who re-
sided in Ulster County who was not an
noyed by the term "old maid" She
rather gloried in it, according to q
writer in the Kingston Freeman. Often
in conversation regarding the benefits
and evils in matrimony, she was heard
to say: at is risky at all events. 1 am
free and comfortable, and intend to re-
main So" AS she was comely, she
had admirers who had offered to her
their hands, hearts and fortunes, so she
remained an old maid from inclination
and not as some malicious women were
heard to say because she couldn't help
herself" She was true to her princi-
pies to the last. When on her bed, dur
ing her last sickness, she sent for a
dealer in marble and gave him direc-
lions regarding the tombstone to be
placed over her grave. Her orders were
implicit. and after her death they were
carried out conscientiously; and the
tombstone that now marks the last rest
ing place of the old maid in a cemetery
not many miles from this city overlook
ing beautiful country village, contains
after the name, date of birth and death,
the following terse but most emphatic

WORK OF THE RAINMAkERs.
After a Successful Series Of Experi.
ments the Party viii Move On.

A dispatch from Texas says: Gen
eret Dyrenforth and his party have met
with number Of obstacles In their work
in this region which appeared well-nlgh
insurmountable, but with patient, untir-
ing energy they have overcome ovsry dif-
fculty The most powerful and relentless
enemy which tho experimentors hsve had
to encounter has been the fierce wind
which constantly sweeps over tho plains
OF western Texas.
The force Of the gale on the balloons 10
very great and in several csses has torn
the captive balloons from their fastentngs
and rent the strong meshes Of the nettinx
as II they were cobweb fabric. Shelters
had to be constructed both for the bal
looms and the oxygen furnace. Tho oxy
gen apparatus used Is probably the largest
ever constructed, and manufactures the
gas on = scale mover before attempted.
Tho wind and the seclusion Of the ranch
from supplies has also made this work
exceedingly difficult- No such difficulties
were encountered In tho explosions on tho
ground however, and these wore carried
with entire success, over half ton OF
''rackarockn powder and dynamite having
been fred in the last few days. Explosives
were also fred from kites. The explosions
were made over space Of several square
miles for three weeks, and intermittsnt
series Of experiments have been carried
on, and not In . single instance has rain
failed TO fall within ten or twelve hours
after the explosions.
The series were brought 70 climax on
tho 26th, when seven balloons, containing
several thousand feet Of oxi-hydrogen gas,
were sent up and exploded at heights
varying from 1000 to 10000 feet At sun
down the batteries on the ground began
their work, and at $3.50 p. IN. acoustant
canonading was carried on under sky
Of perfect clearness, lit by countless stars
Of .brilliance seldom seen In the north.
The barometer promised fair, and tho
hydrometer stood between dry and very
dry. The cowboys and ranchmen, who
are expert weather prophets, said II would
be utterly useless to hope for rain under
such conditions As existed. All things
seem combined to Withstand the terrific
onslaught.
At IL p. m. General Dyrenforth with
drew his forces and all retired for the
night, Sleep, however, was soon intcr-
rupted, for at a. m. the first return hre
flashed from the heavens, when the rain
makers were aroused by peal Of thunder
and the rain was soon beating on the roof
At sunrise magnificent double rainbow
arched the heavens and the downfall Of
rain did not cease until s u. m. A number
of heavy charges of dynamite were then
made and after every one the drops again
poured down until ut last the clouds were
entirely expended and there was nothing
left from which to shake water.
Cattlemen are iubilant over the success
| Of the experiments and invitations arc
daily pouring in from various localities
asking for further operations in the vicin-
ity. General Dyrenforth leaves for
Washington to day for two days absence'
leaving the expedition in charge of John
