ANOTHER RIOT IN CHINA.
"A City Attacked and Overcome by 5000
Insurgents.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 4.-[Speciall-
The following Chinese advices have
been received per tho steamer City of
Rio Janeiro: The particulars Of seri-
Gus riot in the province Of Fukien have
reached Hong Kong. The scene of the
trouble is Tehhua, which was attacked
by 5000 insurgents. One unfortunate
fell into the hands of the insurgents,
who nailed his hands and feet to boards
and cut him up. The victim was con-
sidered to have been made sacrifice to
the flag.
For three days the city held out. The
insurgents seized favorable moment to
send large force, under cover of their
own fire, to storm the defense. The
walls were low and were easily scaled.
A bloody struggle ensued, resulting in
favor of the attacking party.
Leader Chen was tho first ono to leap
over, and, running straight to Magis-
trate Yamen's, he first liberated all the
prisoners and then searched for the
magistrate and his family: The deputy
magistrate was last seen fighting hand
to hand against overwhelming foes, dis
putting every inch of tho ground. AT
the last account 1000 imperial troops
were on tho march against the rebels.
HONG kong, Nov. A. Special =
Piracy is again rife along the coast near
Annoy. after having subsidized little
up on the capture and execution OF
fourteen sea rovers in the spring. Three
days before the mid-autumn festival
merchant junk, heavily loaded, while
proceeding to Annoy, was followed by a
strange craft. When tho vessels were
close together the junk men called out
to the crew of the unknown boat to keep
clear and avoid collision, but on reply,
a fire bomb was followed by several
men with cutlasses and pistols.
The junk's supercargo was killed and
one sailor who leaped overheard was
drowned. The rest of the crew were
tied to tho mast and after dividing the
booty the pirates anchored their prize
and drove the crew on shore, themselves
sailing away. Tho authorities dis
patched many boats in pursuit, but all
returned without effectiDg their object.

CUNNING DEER HUNTERS.
How the South American Indians Pro
vide Themselves With Venison.

NiOe themselves Win Nen1SOn.
The manner in which the South
American Indians hunt deer in the
Cordilleras is very interesting and some
what ingenious, says the Detroit Free
Press. They first ascertain the locality
in which the animals congregate to
Craze, and then the men, women and
old children of the tribe make extensive
preparations to hem in the herd. In
order to cause q stampede they blow
horns, yell and make other bewildering
and outlandish noises. AS a natural
consequence the frightened deer quit
their grazing places. They form in line
in regular marching order, the elder
males leading the way, followed by the
females and young, while the rear of
the column is brought up by the young
bucks, who act as protectors to the
centres.
The Indians now close in upon them,
seeing which the animals prepare to do
battle for their lives. The hunters then
proceed to prepare the instruments of
destruction, consisting of large lances,
resinous torches, and nooses fixed to
long poles.
The worst enemy of the deer is the
jaguar and wildcat, and their luminosity
to them is such that they have been
known to leap over a hunter in order
to attack either of these feline foes.
The Indians, knowing this, employ it to
great advantage during these hunts.
The women stuff a number of jaguar
and cat skins, which are placed in prom
inent positions on the edges Of preci-
pices in view of the deer. Immediate
ly the bucks make violent effort to get
at them in order to hurl them into the
abyss beneath, but are thus treated
themselves by the willy hunters, who
push them over the cliffs, where they
are quickly hamstrung or otherwise dis
abled by the women who are stationed
below. After the first onslaught on the
stuffed figure the remaining deer seem
to realize the fact that they have been
tricked, and huddle together awaiting
another attack.
Then the Indians throw lighted torch
es among them, and panic ensues.
They make desperate effort to escape,
but the relentless hunters drive them
over the crags until they see that a suf-
ficient number have been captured
usually four or five hundred. They do
not usually harm the females and fawns
and also allow a few bucks to escape.
Very seldom is a doe killed, and if a
she fawn is captured it is Immediately
liberated The flesh is eaten by the
Indians and also carried to the village
to be sold, while the skins are either
purchased by dealers or made up into
various articles by those who assisted III
their caDture

A Wonderful Transformation.

II is on record in medical literature
that in the year 1881 poor old man,
residing at Tarentum, near Naples,
was the subject of a marvellous change
when at the age of nearly 90 years.
His skin peeled off and new and soft
skin supplied its place; his muscles
again became strong and plump; the
wrinkles disappeared from his face and
the white hairs from his head; black,
curly hair grew on his head again, and
his complexion became fresh and
youthful Sixty years later he again
became decrepit with a"second old age,
and died after passing his one hundred
and siXtieth wear.

Profit in Calves.

The disposal Of the calves is always a
matter of interest to the dairy farmer,
and many and diverse are the opinions
as to how the best profit may be had
from this generally undesirable pro-
duct. The dairy farmers of Holland
and Denmark keep their own calves
and feed them until large enough for
market. The calves rarely have drop
Of new milk, but the quality Of new
milk which has been taken away as
cream for making into butter is par
heat producing al and fattening substance nc =
This corn flour, although of course not
equal to butter fat, answers the purpose
well enough for producing veal of a
quality sufficient to command a fairly
good price. Calves kept and fed thus
until 8 or 9 months of age not only pay
for their feed but return a fair profit.

The Picture Was Left.

William NJ. Chase, the famous portrait
painter in New York, tells in a recent
interview in the Philadelphia Press,
this remarkab BILE story. His unimpeach-
able character must vouch for its truth:
at is a wellknoWn fact that | use
models and sometimes pay we'll for
fine photograph of q subject. One
day man came to me with two
negatives, one representing lady as an
Italian peasant. and the other picturing
the same lady in striking nude
position. The man thought the
negatives represented professional
models. My breath was almost taken
away from me because 4 instantly
recognized the lady as the wife of
dear friend of mine. He was an amateur
photographer and had the craze for
years. His wife was young, beautiful,
and highly accomplished, and why this
man was peddling negatives Of her
around | could not surmise. [ knew L
had to proceed cautiously, for if the
man once suspected that I knew the
two negatives pictured a beautiful
society lady instead of regular model
he would have asked a small fortune for
them. Carelesslv | asked him his price.
When he said S25 | took out my check
book and gave him check for the
amount. Then / asked him where he
got the negatives. He said they were
found in a house in Philadelphia by
those who had moved in it recently.
Then remembered that my friend and
his wife, who lived in Philadelphia, had
once resided in the house, and had
moved. Well, | sent the negatives to
my friend and told him how | got them.
He sent me a check for the sum | paid
out, and said he would have cheerfully
paid ST 900. He had somehow left the
negatives when he moved. Moral: If
you must take your wife's picture stick
to drapery galore"

Several Seasonab1e Reminders.

Road making and repairing are mat
ters of importance just now, and every
farmer should do his duty in that direc-
tion-at least by making the highway
passable in front Of his own premises.
Make side drains to prevent washouts,
and mend the roads in other respects as
soon as settled weather permits. Speak
ing of drainage, see TO the outlet of
drains on your premises that may be OBJ
structed by ice, snow, or otherwise.
Surface drains to carry water from grain
fields often get clogged up by leaves,
etc, and need cleaning out. Winter
wheat will often pay in increased yield
for top-dressing of some quick-acting
fertilizer. Many good farmers practice
narrowing wheat in the spring and find
it beneficial. AS soon as the fear of
heavy frosts is past open the potato
heaps or bins, and spread the tubers on
a dry floor if any rot appears, for drying
will suspend the disease. Overhauland
assert apples as warm weather comes
on, for one rotten one affects all it
touches and destroys the flavor of a
whole barrel. Look also to the vegeta-
bles in the cellar, and SO assert as to save
what may be disable.

O, as white sheet was the meadow with
FROST
And the birch-trees we're bare on the hill,
While the golds-orange and yellow and
brOWn-
In the garden were poisoning still.
But now colder and colder and colder it grows,
And the grounds frozen hard as a rock
And the winds whoop and cry and the clouds
hurry by,
Like the sheep of wolf driven flock,
And the leaves in a witch dance are Whirling
around,
And the blossoms lie dead with the weeds,
And there's nothing that's left of my marigold
flowers
But handful of marigold seeds.
But the little dwarf winter time days will so by
And the dreary black nights will depart,
And the peWee will call in the alder again,
And the grass by the broOkside will start
And the blossoms will feel the warm touch of
the sun,
And will hear the soft voice of the showers,
For all hidden away In the marigOld seeds
Are the souls Of new marigold flowers
