Twice in his experience has John B.
Obermeyer, of Chicago, owed his life to
the practice Of carrying papers in his in
side pocket. The first time was ON a
battlefield in the war of the rebellion.
Then the muster roll of his company of
the Eleventh Pennsylvania volunteers
stopped musket bali fired at random
from the enemy's lines. The second
time was on Monday, when a bullet
from S8-caliber revolver, fred only six
feet distant, and aimed deliberately at
his breast, failed to penetrate an en-
velope filed with bank bills and pass
book In his inside vest pocket.
After this second event Mr.. Ober-
meyer, it is said, looked coolly at the
would be assassin, and called him a
coward, and invited him to shoot q sec
ond time, but the latter stood for a
moment irresolute, then, with his hand
trembling, laid his revolver on the desk
and surrendered to the police. e.-Phila-

Reply from the Pew.

"Joe" Jones, one of Sans numerous
brothers, has enlisted In the ministry.
His first sermon was preached in a coun-
try church at Pine Log before large
congregation of farmers, backwoodsmen
and crackers. Sans methods were fol-
lowed with considerable success, but
when Joe branched off ON his own hook
ne struck snag. He caused his hearers
to vince when, slapping the Bible nearly
off the pulpit, he exclaimed:
"a man what viii cuss a oath'll
steali"
There was a lively shifting among the
pews and much cautious looking around
and head shaking. Joe saw, and deter
mined to push his point.
Brethren and sisters he repeated,
II want to say to you that man what
will cuss oath'll steali What have
you got to say to that"
An aged cracker arose at the back Of
the church and. fastening his glittering
gray eye on Joe, drawled through his
nose:
"All got ter say is It's er gol dern lieI"
Joe was so discouraged that he rested
on his oars two weeks before making
any more bold assertions. New York

Soldiers Prefer Grain Food.

Cornmeal was the grand necessary of
life to those legionaries who, led by
Cesar, subdued the world, and who
counted themselves starved and were
apt to mutiny if reduced to the famine
fare" of animal food. Even British
troops have been known to suffer from
an exclusive meat diet, as indeed we
found to our cost in the Zulu campaign
Of 1878, while the preference of the Ro-
man soldiery for the vegetable food has
its justification in the experience of the
Russian army, and still more of the
German one in 1870, which carried that
memorable campaign to it's triumphant

ored for little bacon). London Lancet.

PRICE ONE CENT


An old sheep herier who dwells In
secluded spot in the Sutter county buttes
made his annual visit to this city
Wednesday, and from him we learn of
some phenomenal and interesting cir
cumstances as result OF the earthquake
Of Tuesday morning.
The lonely camp of the old shepherd
is far mp in the buttes, and Il surrounded
with cliffs densely coverel with massive
rocks and bewlders, which have with
stood the storms of ages ana furnished
mills for the aborigines to grind their
acorns and manzanita berries into -four
from the remotest antiquity.
The old herder had just emerged from
his cabin on this memorable morn, and
was gathering kindling with which to
prepare his morning meal before turning
bis flock onto the range for their days
forage, and the wonderful sight he wit
messed viii never be forgotten. When
the trembling began numerous sparks of
bright blue color began issuing from
the rocks, caused by the friction as they
were tossed to and fro by the surging
earth. AS the tremors increased the
number of sparks did likewise, until at
one time the hillsides appeared as one
sheet of fire with millions of sparks DART
ing here and there as IL dancing for Joy.
As the trembling subsidized the sparks
gradually disappeared. and in a moment
ell was total darkness.
Shortly after the sun had started on
its journey in the eastern horizon the
attention of the old shepherd was at
tracted by the great branches of trees
which had fallen to the ground, and
those which remained intact seemed to
horrify the wild birds, as they would
attempt to alight, and then, with a
frightened scream, would pass rapidly
on, only to repeat the caper at the next
tree. An investigation proved that mil
lions of lizards and snakes had taken
refuge in the trees during their fright
and had become so numerous on the
projecting branches that they were
forced to succumb to the immense
weight and fell to the ground. This is
the only instance of damage reported in
Yuba or Sutter county.-Marysvill

HOW THEY CARRY THEIR MONEY.


Reading the Character of People In the
Pocketbooks They Use.
81 can tell you the business of six men
out of every ten who come in here, and
the social standing Of all OF them, from
the way they carry their money! said a
Broadway ticket seller for one of the
sound steamboat lines to reporter.
ibid you ever think how much of a
persons individuality is expressed in his
method Of carrying his money! see
people every day get at their change
and have made a study of it.

an old gentleman who had purchased q
pasteboard good for trip to Boston
went out, 'sis retired banker. Did You
notice that he carried his money in a
long morocco pocketbookl That pocket
book is always carried in the inside
pocket of his coat, ON the right side. It
contains number of bright, clean bills,
all neatly smoothed and laid out at full
length and right side up. He never
folds bill, will venture cigar.
"The young broker or wholesale mer-
chant carries his money in small case
made Of seal or lizard skin. He folds
the bills twice. His roll is never large,
but he has enough on hand to meet any
emergency.
"The clubmen invariably carry q roll
of clean five dollar hills in their vest
pocket, where they can be easily reached.
Some carry only gold. James Brown
Potter favors gold, and usually carries a
few quarter eagles in small silver case,
into which the coins fit without rattling.
Lispenard Stewart usually has roll of
new bills in his vest pocket.

from deep trousers pocket lot of one,

twisted up like gun wadding always

ting counts up the price Of ticket in
quarters and halves from tan colored

"The man who carries change in his
coat pockets has been car conductor
at some time or other. The fellow who
draws ten cent pieces from every pocket
in his clothes is peanut man or vender
of small wares.
"The women, too, have variety of
ways to carry their money, though their
lack of pockets limits their vagaries In
that direction. The young woman with
fluffy hair, who has the price of her

why Birds Migrate,

Why some birds which could pick up
food among us all the year around
should leave when food is plentiful,
while others with similar ways of life
remain, is still mystery. It is easy to
understand that species which preys
on fresh water fish and on frogs should
seek other quarters when the ponds are
frozen and the frogs buried in the clay.
But it Is not quite so clear why the
swallow and the fycatcher leave a re-
gion where there is perpetual summer
and winged food In abundance, TO risk
a long journey over sea and land, only
to find great scarcity of the same
kind of food. And it is equally puz-
cling that the seed and fruit eaters who
since October have been fattening
among the gardens of Algeria and
Egypt, should suddenly, in March or
April, be seized with such an inordinate
craving for change of diet as to fly
5000 miles on the chance of picking up
the short commons of an English spring.
Perhaps it wiz be found that immi-
grafton Is natural to all birds, and is
greater or less as circumstances may
determine. Every animal shifts its quar-
ters according to the plentifulness or
scarcity Of food. Even our residents
move up and down the country at diff
ferent periods Of the year, living in the
lowlands in the winter and in the up
lands in the summer, and it is well
known that all winter there is a con-
tinual drifting of the. birds from the Con-
tinent to our islands, according to the
weather.-London Standard.

Hawk Killed by = Railway Engine.
To railway officials it is well known
tact that the engines of high speed ex-
presses kin small and large heavy flying
birds. such as partridges and grouse, in
great quantities, sometimes carrying
their bodies long distances. A few
months ago the writer was shown by a
locomotive superintendent Of one Of the
principal northern lines q dead bird
which. strange TO say, though very
rapid flier. had met it's doom through
the agency OF the iron horse. This bird
was o sparrow hawk, and it is pow
stuffed and may be seen In the Carlton
road board school museum. Kentish
Town
The driver OF the train relates that he
was travelling between sixty and seventy
miles an hour near Melton, when just
on the point of entering long tunnel
he observed fiuttering In front Of the en-
gine some object which he at first mis-
took for rag, but when on leaving the
tunnel he went forward he discovered,
to his astonishment, that it was a spar
row hawk which had become entangled
between the handrail and smoke box Of
the engine. and was held there firmly
by the pressure Of the wind. It was
not quite dead when taken ont of this
curious deathtrap, though one eye had
been destroyed. There is nodoubht that
1t met its death accidentally. as hawk
can fly quicker than the fastest trains
travel-so the drivers say, who often
observe them flying low down in the
hedgerow and keeping mp with the train
till some unwary small bird, frightened
by the noise. flies out OF the fence, when
the hawk pounces ON it and devours it.
