A family in Harlem were just sitting
down to dinner the other evening
when a messenger arrived in hot haste
with a note for the mistress OF the
house. 1t was from q woman friend
and ran:
Il am unexpectedly invited out to
dine this evening and want to make
an impression. DO send me all your
diamond rings to wear and I'll return
them in the morning. shall be so
obliged and will do as much for you If
ever have the opportunity.
The rings were sent and promptly
returned next day. And the man of
the house said that the ways OF women
were beyond any mans comprehension.
but his wife only laughed softly and
said nothing. New York Recorder.

NEWS OF THE SKIES.
Our Salten Sea and the Alleged Lnkes
On Mars.


The new lake in California may throw
light upon some of the mysterious
changes that have occurred upon the
planet Mars. Near the equator of Mars
there is II region which has been be-
lieved to be part of the dry land of that
planet, and which has been named
Lydia by the Italian astronomer
Schiaparelli.
A few days ago change occurred in
the color of Lydia, and some of the OBJ
servers thought that it must have been
suddenly overlooked with water, since
it had assumed the color characteristic
to the other regions of Mars that are
supposed to be water-covered. Other
similar changes have been seen by tel.
escopists on Mars. Now that new
lake has been formed on the earth,
why may not Il similar phenomenon
have taken place in Mars?
A recent eruption on the suns face
was photographed, and lasted for fully
fifteen minutes. It's angular height
showed it to be q disturbance causing
the vapors to ascend fully 10000 miles.

HUNTING WITH A BELLED BUCK.
Angry ut tho Killing Of It's Mate, IL,
Nearly Kills His Master.

&O~Hsy 1A's'S AAso 1AnStCE'
In the early days of Alabama fam.
lily of Johnsons lived few miles from
Decatur. Two Of the boys. Ben and
Billy, became famous hunters IN that
region. They were deep in all wiles
OF woodcraft and had many a cunning
scheme to secure game.
At different times they captured does
when quite young, and after raising
them SO as to thoroughly domesticate
them would bell doe in the mating
season and turn her loose. She would
quite frequently be followed back to
the house by several bucks. The bell
gave warning Of the approach and the
brothers would then lie in ambush and
shoot the bucks.
Once they captured a male fawn and
reared him TO stalwart buckhood lie
was splendid fellow. as gentle as Il
kitten and more useful than dog. for
he could be belled in the mating sen
son and would find doe every day,
which the brothers would shoot in the
morning One morning Ben heard
the bell out on the mountain and
started to fine it. On coming in sight
the buck was seen by the side Of a fine
doe. The hunter killed her and went
forward to skin and dress the meat.
He had always been in the habit OF
proceeding in this way and. appre-
hending no trouble whatever. neg
lected to reload his gun. Approach
ing his game so US to cut her throat
and bleed her. he was hinder ed some-
what by the buck. He gave the ami
NAL an impatient push and was in the
act OF laying hold of the dead deer
when the live one made a vicious
lunge at him with his horns.
Ben was taken by surprise and tho
beast tumbled him over the carcass.
but as the buck returned to the charge
he sprang up and received it with
courage. Selling the animal by one
horn. the hunter began cutting at him.
He could not reach vital part how
ever. and meantime the brute was
wildly dashing through the UNDER
brush. bruising Johnson's body and
occasionally goring him.
The hunters case was getting quite
desperate. The Infatuated brute. with
horns and hoofs had nearly stripped
johnson. The strange antagonists
both had numerous wounds and were
covered with blood. The deer jerked
loose at last and made an awful
plunge. johnson sprang behind a
sapling and the deer's horns encircled
it.
The hunter instantly seized both
horns and held the deer with his nose
to the ground. This gave the man a
slight advantage, and yet he could not
let loose with either hand so as to use
his knife. for the mad creature con-
stantly lurched and plunged back and
forth.
The best he could do was to hold to
the bucks horns until the creature
would become exhausted from the
loss Of blood. But Ben himself was
now becoming weak, and he began to
call for help. Billy heard him, and
hurrying to his assistance, found Ben
and the buck nearly dead. He cut
the bucks throat and released the
deer hunter from the most perilous
position he had ever occupied.

PATTY,

panied her young husband to Bedford.
He had lust been made the minister TO
the town; but her duties as the leading
lady of the parish did not cause her to
forget Patty, who was brought to the
new parsonage with the brides we'd
ding outfit, and has been kept there
ninety-five years.
What Patty was to her first owner
she was to the thirteen children of the
parsonage, and was always an object
of household regard. While the boys,
of course, had other pets for close COM
partnership, they were taught to treat
Patty with due regard for their mothers
and sisters feelings.
Cuff, the old family negro servant
and slave, never scorned to rock the
cradle with its two occupants, if Patty
was one,
A little worse for wear Patty came
down to the third generation, and the
grandchildren of Abigail French found
their visits to the old parsonage of
added pleasure because of the presence
Of ''Old Fat Patty" as they began to
call her.
Members of the fourth generation
still derive peculiar satisfaction from
tending the HOUSEHOLD doll, althoug Oh
they are loaded, as are other children,
with dolls that sing, cry and close their
eyes.
Patty has been the solace for four
generations, through all sorts of ex-
periences, and is still stout and strong.
Her costume has been somewhat
modernized, but evidences Of the col.
onial age are still apparent.
Her nose, never of the Roman pattern.
has suffered Q compound fracture and
her cheeks are somewhat speckled, pre-
sumably from her various exposures of
measles, chicken pox and the like.
Among those who have tepderlv
fondled Patty are eminent clergymen.
professors, artists, merchants, authors
and college presidents. Many of them
have done their work and gone, but
Patty is still at home at the old parson-
age in Bedford.
