The Wool Market.
" Ex-Div'G,

BOSTON. Dec so, 1s92.-The quotations on
Wool for this market admit of very little
change. Manufacturers have been in town for
small lots, and for these lots they have paid full
market rates. Manufacturers are aware of the
extremely low values of Wool, and it is frankly
confessed by some of them that it is not so
much of a question about their paying present
values as the fear they have that Wool is to be

He First Catches 1t and Then Cooks 1t
with Much Skill and Little Labor.
The tramp has an ingenious way of
obtaining chicken. He must avoid all
noise. The slightest cackling on the
part of the bird would be fatal to his
dinner.
He proceeds to get a stick about ten
feet long, to the end of which he binds
crosspiece, making a rude perch.
Then, stationing himself under tree in
which the chickens are roosting, he picks
out his particular bird and gently brings
his perch up in front of her.
If the fowl does not step on at once he
rubs his perch gently up and down
against her breast until she finally steps
on and promptly goes to sleep again.
The tramp shoulders the stick and
marches up the road out of hearing dis
lance of the house.
How many people, after raid on their
henroosts by the tramp in the dead of
night, stop to think how he cooked
his chicken? If they give the matter a
thought at all, they suppose he will start
small fire and broil it. But he will do
nothing of the kind. In fact it would be
| impossible for him to do so without re-
moving the feathers, and as that would
require labor it would not be attempted
His kitchen utensils consist generally
of broken knife and a tin cup. With
his knife he will kill and clean the
chicken in very much the same way any
housewife would, except that he will
make the opening in the breast much
smaller. His seat of operations will be
on the bank of some little brook, where
he will build fire. Then comes the
part which he thoroughly dislikes. He
makes a very thin paste of clay and
water, and taking a handful commences
to rub it well over the chicken, feathers
and all.
After this is well worked in he takes
another handful of little thicker paste
and rubs it over the first layer. So he
continues, each layer being about an
eighth of an inch thick, until he has a
coating of two or three inches all over
the bird and it resembles a huge mud
ball. Then he heaves sigh of relief.
Nothing further is necessary but to
put the mud ball in the fire, and in
about twenty minutes it is transformed
into savory meal. When the chicken
is done the clay is baked like brick.
After cracking it, it peels off, carrying
with it the feathers and skin, leaving
the chicken smoking and white, de.
licious morsel.-New York World.
