He-It is understood that this is to be
merely a summer Irritation?
Gone, but Not Forgotten.

A Sixth avenue confectioner, who has
a large soda fountain, found it necessary
the other day to remove lot of goods
from front window and spread dozen
sheets of tanglefoot fly paper where they
would do the most good. The fly came
and saw, and was caught by the feet and
held fast until his brief life went out
like a suffering candle. The boys who
looked through the window were con-
graduating the confectioner as the sun
went down and the silent shadows Of
evening began creeping noiselessly up
and down the long avenue. They had
Just estimated the number Of dead at
10000, when young lady, accompanied
by sturdy pug dog III the usual har-
ness, swept into the store and called for
cream nectar. Her attention was no
sooner taken up with the foaning bever-
age than the pug began to investigate.
After taking tour around the store
he leaped into the window to see what
discoveries awaited him there, and he
landed square and fair in the center Of
the broad field of tanglefoot. He uttered
a yelp as he discovered he had put his
four feet in it-rolled over and over
yelled some more, and then an object
tumbled out on the floor and made the
circle of the store and shot outdoors into
the gloom. 1t was pug dog with nine
sheets of fly paper attached to him in the
most picturesque fashion, and his size
was increased until he appeared like a
-four barrel rolling around.
Its my pug!' shrfeked the young
lady as she choked over the nectar and
let the glass fall.
stop the guyasticutus!" shouted the
boys as they gave chase up the avenue.
The thing lodged in and out among
pedestrians, crossed and recrossed the
street, rolled over and over and played
all kinds Of circus, and at length dis
tanced all pursuit and was lost sight Of
perhaps forever. For two long hours
frail female figure clothed in white

day he died, was admitted by the judges
old servant and clerk, David Reed How

whose voice and manner at once explained

The Genius OF Hawthorne.

Hawthorne's mastery of the preternat-

decessor: he left behind him no successor
He stands so completely alone that the or

are bafI1ed. He must be taken as what he
is-an original genius. Yet, independent
as he is. he cannot be called a distinctvely

Words cannot tell how beautiful the

A Pioneer Palace Car.

Our wagons, or the Reed wagons" as
they were called, were all made to order,
and l can say without fear of contradic-
ton that nothing like our family wagon
ever started across the plains. 1t was what
might be called a two story wagon, or
Pioneer palace car" attached to a regular
immigrant train. The entrance was on the
side, like that Of an old fashioned stage
coach, and one stepped into small room, as
it were, in the center of the wagon. AT the
right and left were spring seats with COM
Portable high backs, where one could sit
and ride with as much ease as on the seats
of a Concord coach. In this little room
was placed a tiny sheet iron stove, whose
pipe, running through the top of the
wagon, was prevented by circle of tin
from setting fire to the canvas cover.
A board about foot wide extended over
the wheels on either side the full length Of
the wagon, thus forming foundation for
large and roony second story in which
were placed our beds. Under the spring
seats were compartments in which were
stored many articles useful for the journey,
such as well filed work basket and full
assortment Of medicines, with lint and
bandageS for dressing wounds. Our cloth
ing was packed, not in Saratoga trunks,
but in strong canvas bags plainly marked.
Some of mammals young friends added
looking glass, hung directly opposite the
door, in order, as they said, that my mother
might not forget to keep her good looks,
and strange to say, when we had to leave
this wagon, standing like a monument on
the Salt Lake desert, the glass was still I'M
broken. l have often thought how pleased
the Indians must have been when they
found this mirror which gave them back
the picture of their own dusky faces.-Mrs.
Virginia Reed Murphy in Century.

He Lived by Signs.

There used to be a curious character
named Vellet down in Fulton county, Ind.
He was noted over his whole section as the
greatest eater and the firmest believer in
signs" that ever sat on the banks of Eel
river and angled for bass. He planted his
corn in the dark of the moon and laid rail
fence in the light. He Sheared his sheep
when the sign was in the head, and LAID
bare his own neck from the winters growth
Of beard when the zodiac pointed to Taurus.
He shingled his barn in the moons first
quarter, and gathered his seed corn when
Cancer was king. He wouldn't ride behind
a horse that hadn't been broken in the sign
of the reins. and when ScOrpio ruled he
considered a secret safe. There was moth
ing on earth he didn't believe could be
properly done in the signs, and nothing
that didn't threaten destruction if the
signs We're diSregarded.
He had neighbor named Isaac Brown,
a great joker. who grew rich in spite of the
fact that he paid no more attention to the
signs, which were so large a part of Vel
let's economy, than he did to the color of
the clouds at midnight. Finally Nellet
died, as eccentric men sometimes will and
the assessor came around in the spring and
missed him.
What was the matter with him?" asked
the official of Isaac Brown.
We'll, you see," said the skeptical
farmer, ~ come home one night along in
December and told him l had next years
almanac, and it said man didn't dast eat
meat till the sign of the virgin. And Vel
let says, says he to me: My God! can't
go without meat till next September says
he. And I'll be darned if he didn't lay
down and die. | feel mighty bad about it
myself for he always paid his debts in the
sign of the crab, and he owed me eighteen
dollars. "-Chicago Herald.

An India Rubber Plantation.

A plantation of India rubber was started
by the government Of Assam in 1873 in a
forest at the foot of the Himalayas. Seed
lings were planted IN the forks OF trees,
and by l395 they had reached the ground.
The trees were subsequently, placed 10
beds forty feet vide, protected By the sur
rounding forest. In 1890 the plantation
extended over 1,1o6 acres, and contained
1905 healthy plants, besides 5000 seed
lings The experiment will not begin 70
