A DOGS STRATAGEM.
His Ingenious Manner of Securing a J

His Ingenious Manner of Securing Meal
/ observed an example of intelligence
in dog the other day, which, though
exercised at the.expense of another dog,
struck me as showing a degree of
shrewdness not unworthy of human
being. He was a Newfoundland, and
when ! first saw him he had his eye on
a mongrel who was standing guard over
a basket which had apparently some
thing good to eat in it. When he shifted
at it, the mongrel growled, and showed
sufficient evidence of a fighting ten
dency to make the nobler animal draw
back from the basket, not perhaps be-
cause he feared an encounter, but because
he wished to use strategy rather than
force in the accomplishment of his
plans. Having occasion TO pass the
spot some ten minutes later, | noticed
that the Newfoundland had put his
scheme in operation. He had brought
a number of other dogs into the neigh
borhood, and the mongrel was SO far
attracted by them as to venture a little
distance from his basket, on which,
however, he kept a watchful eye, and
returned to it from time to time when
ever tnt tTtdSuTt Sttlntu I'd DC TOO near
the presence of the other dogs.
At last, however, the Newfoundland
secured his opportunity. He rushed
past the basket, which he did not at
tempt to seize, though he almost
knocked it down, and was followed by
the other dogs. One of these. of
course a small dog, of poodle-like
appearance, stopped to sniff at the
contents of the basket, and the mongrel
evidently thought the time had come to
vindicate his courage in the defense of
his owners property. So he pounced
upon the poodle and brisk little fight
ensued, and the latter, proving to have
good deal of pluck and strength, bore.
his antagonist to the ground. While
this contest was going on the other
dogs, with the exception of the New
foundland, looked on approvingly and
were too absorbed by the spectacle to
pay any attention to the basket This
was the strategist's chance. He ran TO
the basket, tore off enough of the cover
to get his head in, and when | last saw
him he was rushing away, with it's con-
tents, what appeared to be piece of
meat, in his mouth WASHINGTON Post

and shaped differently Gig. .. AZ.
Another improvement of doubtful
general utility, but especially suited to
his case, was made by my neighbor,
whose farm is rather billy. He found
that his marker would slide downhill
despite every effort to keep it on the
proper line, and to remedy this he made
his runners of two 15E-inch pieces
bolted together, with piece of a cross
cut saw blade at the bottom of each,
extending nearly the entire length of
the runner and two inches below it, as
shown in Fig. Q OBJ. 1t proved sue
cess with him, but turning is rendered
much more difficult, and where not alb
solutely necessary 1t is thought best to
omit this feature.
To make turnover of this machine,
cut out a deep but very narrow mortise
in each runner (see dotted lines in Fig.
2, b.. These are made to receive the
forward ends of wrought-iron beams,
carrying a large cultivator shovel a
short distance behind each runner.
Handles are attached to these beams,
and when turning or driving to and
fro, the beams are thrown forward I'M
til they rest against the front edge of
the mortise, in nearly upright posi-
ton. The beams should be placed as
low as possible, that they may not in
terfere with the gauge while in use. A
two-inch hole cut through just below
the mortise allows the escape of any
dirt that may fall into it. While just
this form of implement may not be
needed on many farms, there are good
points about it which may be made of
practical use by nearly every farmer

A poc,or.s Ingenious Trick.

A curious story comes from Berlin,
showing how a cheat was discovered.
A man who was accused of theft set up
a plea of insanity, thereby hoping TO
escape punishment. Prof. Mendel. a
noted specialist, was deputed to ex-
anime the prisoner and report on the
state of his mind. He found the man
lying in bed. To all the questions put,
such as how old he was, where he lived,
what he was called, the prisoner inva-
riably answered: Il don't know" Then
the professor took mark out of his
purse and asked how much it was 81
don't know" was the answer, as be-
fore The professor then asked for the
prisoners purse, out of which he took
q mark. and once more the man de-
clared that he didn't know its value;
whereupon Prof. Mendel put groschen
into the prisoners purse, while trans
ferring the mark to his own. "why,
doctor" cried the patient, hastily,
you've made mistake!" The impos-
ture was made bare and the impostor
convicted. Golden Days.

A few weeks ago sale of horses took
place in Paris, and one was as poor
broken-kneed a hack as was ever seen
anywhere. The horse was brought for
ward, and the auctioneer, like most of
his class, began lauding what he had to
dispose OF.
'Gentlemen." said he, IT have now
the pleasure to bring before your notice
a really thoroughbred animal-an I'M
doubted pur sang. win anyone make a
bid of three thousand francs for it?"
One of the onlookers made firm bid
of forty-five francs.
Really, gentlemen, this is too bad
An offer of forty-five francs for such an
animal is simply ridiculous. Only the
day before yesterday 1t did its four kilo-
meters in six minutes. and forty-five
francs is all that is offered for i'll Have
you all done at forty-five francs? Going
for forty-five francs-going for the
mean sum of forty-fve francs-for the
last time-goner'
The purchaser took the sorry brute
away and was not long in ascertaining
that, in the place of doing its four kilo-
meters in six minutes, it could not do one
lSilometer in an hour He went back
furiously TO the auctioneer and asked
him II he did not say the horse had
done four kilometers in six minutes.
Most decidedly" said the auctioneer.
And where might this event have
come Off" asked the irate purchaser,
endeavoring to smother his anger.

abashed reply.-Chicago News

country. " / am a farmer, one of

with dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until l had
to seek relief. consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and / caught that also
very severely. Ny condition then
compelled me to do something. l
got two bottlesof German Syrup. l

FARM AND GARDEN.
MARKER AND Turnover.
Farm Implement Which Is Highly

Farm Implement Which Is Highly
Praised by Its Designer.
Among the improved farm imple-
ments in use by a progressive young
farmer of this vicinity is a combined
marker and turnover of his own de-
sign, which he claims to be better
adapted to his use than anything he had
tried before. The runners are cut from
three-inch material, three and one-half
feet long, and ten inches wide. These
are placed at the proper distance apart
and firmly held in position by cross
pieces in front and behind. each end
being notched into the runner and
fastened down with two coach screws
four inches long and three-eighths of
an inch in diameter. Over these cross
pieces, and in the center between the
runners another piece is bolted and al
lowed to extend six inches forward and
foot or more backward. A "V-shaped"
piece of iron fastened upon this re-
ceives one end of the gauge, which is
firmly braced by a three-eighths-inch
rod connecting with ring bolt at the
forward extremity Of the center-piece,
thus admitting of motion from side to
side only in a perpendicular plane.
This does away with all cords attached
to the harness, and variation from un-
equal pulling of the team is avoided.
Into the center-piece and rear cross
piece stout legs of some elastic timber

The strong man and the little girl

Cora drew back a few PAGES, and

with it. After the judge could control

DEATH TO TARANTULAS.
The singular Suicide of a Captive Tsrsn-
tuIa Hawk.

tula Hawk.
A tarantula hawk came sailing into
the Companion Office recently. These
giant blue wasps, with their fiery wings,
are deadly foes to the tarantula, and
should be encouraged in every locality.
They seem never to rest a moment, and
with tireless energy fly and walk rap
idly along the ground, running into
every crevice. and hole and examining
every suspicious object, after the taran-
tula. The fate of the giant spider when
discovered by the hawk is certain, and
attended with fascinating horror.
The winged insect hovers over the
victim until it finds good opportunity
to stingl The poison acts in a peculiar
manner, the tarantula becoming para
lyzed In this state the eggs of the
hawk are laid in the helpless spider, who
remains alive to be slowly devoured by
the hungry Larvae.
A prepared (stuffed) tarantula was at
hand; the hawk was placed in a paste
board box with the latter. The effect
was unexpected. IL there ever was
such a thing as fear displayed by an
insect we beheld il in the superlative
degree. The hawk probably didn't
like the scent of the dead spider,
for il made the most violent ef-
forts to get out of reach until
out of pity it was removed, when it i'm.
mediately quieted down. We placed
this interesting visitor under a goblet to
make an examination and to sketch its
proportions. but the plan was foiled by
the remarkable actions of the insect,
which suddenly became angry, and with
reckless Indifference stabbed itself sew
ersl times with its poisonous sting. II
then Immediately folded up its legs,
turned over on its back, and in less than
a minute was dead. The onlookers
were astonished and could not explain
the strange suicide = Florence ga
