Wolf Vengeance.

During one of my hunting and fishing
excursions IN Louisiana | was fishing on
lake two or three miles long and from
one u uuarter to one-half mile wide. On
one side the hill land came down near
the lake, leaving about one. quarter mile
of sand beach, and while there | saw a
deer running at the top OF its speed
toward the lake, and moment later a
wolf appeared in hot pursuit. Expect
ing them to plunge into the lake, when
could overtake and kill them both in
the water, l kept my place. Just before
the deer reached the water it was caught
by the wolf, which pulled it down and
killed it. Then the wolf stalked around,
looked about, trotted off some distance
and set up howl, went further and
again howled and then into the woods,
when l heard more bowling.
The wolf being out of sight, I rowel
my boat to the place aud got the deer
and then went back to my fish hooks.
Shortly there appeared on the scene a
pack of ten or twelve wolves. They
shifted and moved all around where the
deer had been killed. These. movements
occupied considerable time. They
would huddlc together, change about
and trot about in all directions, keeping
close together. Finally they got into
fight; the whole pack attacked one wolf
and killed it. 1t was literally bit and
chewed to pieces. Now, what was the
wolf killed for7 The probability is, and
am almost positive, that the dead wolf
was the one that killed the deer.
have talked to many hunters upon this
subject, and have come across but two
who had seen anything similar, and they
thought the wolf had been killed for
lying. If it was done in the case l saw
for lying it was the only time ever
knew wolf to be killed wrongfully. -

Farmyard Oddities.

Among the farmyard oddities about
Reading, Penn, are a six-legged pig,
owned by Elias Seaman, of Nlftzingers- n
town, and r-legged duciSling, treas
ured for luck by John Smithinger, of
Union Township, near Birdsborough.
Jacob Loeb, also of Naftzinge- town,
owns male guinea that has just hatched
out brood of nine young guineas,
which he takes care OF with the same
pride and attention that well-regulated
guinea hen would manifest.
A snow white crow that had for some
time been flying around the neighbor-
hood of Cain, Chester County, Penn, in
company with flock of ordinary black
crows, was shot the other day by Farrler
H. A. Beale, who had the bird mounted
by taxldermist and now keeps it as a
trophy. Its plumage does not include
single feather other than pure white.
John Anderson, of Hanesvilie, Penn,
has hen that has adopted four young
kittens, now two weeks old. The hen
had been clucking fruitlessly oa nest
which Andersen afterward covered with
board to prevent her further efforts to
set, and when the would-be chicken
mother found she couldn't raise little
chicks she transferred her attention to
the litter of little kittens, beating off the
parent cat and taking possession of the
young mewing family as her own.
A spaniel dog belonging to Mrs.
George Taylor, of West Chester, has also
adopted litter of kittens, and now
claims them as his own progeny. When
the mother cat or any member of Mrs.
Taylor's family approaches, the dog flies
into towering passion and asserts his
guardianship OF the little pussies.

A Boon for Poor Sailors.

A method has been devised by Mr..
Thornycroft,' the English builder of tor
pedo boats, boilers, etc., for checking
the rolling of vessel at sea, namely, by
moving weight, under strict control
from side to side of vessel, so as to
continually balance, or subtract from,
the heeling movement of the wave slope.
1t consists of large mass of iron In the
form of a quadrant of circle, which is
placed horizontally, with the center on
the middle line of the vessel, being there
connected with vertical shaft; the
latter is turned by hydraulic engine,
which is very ingeniously controlled by
an automatic arrangement, and the
heavy iron quadrant is swept round from
side to side, revolving about its center,
to the extent that is required to counter.
act the heeling movement. This device
is claimed to meet growing need-the
tendency at the present day, it is
thought, being rather in the direction of
increased than diminished rolling, as the
steadying influence of sails, which rem
ders the motion easy and agreeable ia
sailing, is fast disappearing in steamers.

Oae of the most familiar objects in
Wall street offices is the stock ticker with
its endless convolutions of tape. 1t has
long been supposed that this thin tape
was necessary evil, and tnat Che record
of the little type wheels could not be're-
ceived on any other medium; but Amer
ican ingenuity, announ ces the New York
Post, has, as usual, grappled with the
problem, seeing that there would be a
good market for machine capable of
delivering the message upon a sheet of
paper rather than upon the Objectionable
band, which is difficult to read, liable
to kink, ready to snap in several pieces
under the slightest strain, and not an
easy thing to file. In Europe, dispatches
received by printing telegraph are torn
into short lengths and paste clumsiy
on ordinary delivery blanks, but the
labor aud delay caused by such an op-
Grafton offset the advantages of legibility
and speed in sending. In machine

idea of securing typewriter page, by
telegraph, appears to have been carried
to practical perfection. The message is
received in the form of printed page,
eight inches wide, by an instrument that
is automatic in Its action and is under
the control of the operator at the dis.
patching end. The practice involved
may be said to correspond to that of the
everyday typewriting machine. A
speed of over forty words minute on a
200.mile circuit is said to have been

haky pastry will hail with JOY the advent
of the glas, rolling.piu. 1t is an ideal
adjunct to the piemaking outfit, not even

handle of the glass rolling pin the re-
volving cylinder may be kept filled with
cracked ice, thereby insuring the re-
duced temperature necessary for making
puff paste or good pie crust of any kind.

of the good housewife that the new roll

Mr.. Armour and His Clerk.

Philip d. Armour, the millionaire pork
packer of Chicago makes it practice
every year to make the clerks in his
office the present of a good business suit
of clothes. There is an unwrrten law
that this suit shall not exceed in cost
forty dollars, for which sum, it is rightly
considered, very handsome everyday
outfit can be purchased. But one new
clerk, upon being told to go to tailor,
make his selection and have the bill sent
to Mr.. Armour, determined not to be
hampercd by any forty dollar limit. He
accordingly ordered suit costing
eighty five dollars. In due time the bill
was presented to Mr.. Armour. He
called for the young man who had con.
tracted it, ard that worthy appeared, a
confident smile overspreading his face.
He bad no thought of impending
danger.
"You're Mr.. So and so?' inquired Mr..
Armour, with great apparent atIability.
.'Yes, SIR"
"You had the suit madel"
"Yes, sir"
"Fits you we'll, chr very blandly.
Exceedingly well, sir" replied the
clerk, rather surprised by this line of
questioning.
"Well," said Mr.. Armour slowly, in
that stern, crushing manner of his, 'lve
seen a great many hogs In my day, but
you ale the biggest one have ever
came across"
And that day the clerk with the
eighty five dollar suit began to hunt

No stronger evidence of the safety of

est risk, and powder manufacturers now
find that the electric light adds con-
siderable percentage over gas to the
chapces of safe operation. While elec.
tricity increases the safety of this branch
of industry in one way it lessons it in
another. There is a great deal of free
electricity thrown off iu various stages
OF manufacture, and the disposition of
this, so far as it can be removed out of
harms way, is a serious question. The
charge of powder cake press with
ebonite plates may practically be con-
sidered rs an electric pile, aud a large
amount of friction or electric influence
from outside may cause sufficient cleo
trio charge to give off sparks. Several
undisputed cases of this kind have been
known. Another source OF danger from
friction occurs during the glazing,
rounding end sieving off gunpowder.
The powder is subjected to constant
rubbing of its particles against each
other, and during the glazing especially
there is danger of electricity accumula-
ting. Therefore precautions should bo
taken in order to convey away any
charge that may accumulate In the glaz-
ins barrels.

''He ran a bank there, and the cashier,

establishment consisted of De Mores's
English valet aud big Newfoundland
dog. When this valet was not engaged
in his menial duties he attended to the
financial affairs of the bank.
"While Curran was there the Marquis
bought 10, 900 head of cattle from two
Englishmen. They were first.class cattle
and cost $40 head. When these two
Britons delivered the cows they worked
one of the neatest skin games that I've
ever heard of. Mcdora, you know, sits
in valley, with table lands on each side.

MY GIFTS.

Give not to me life's splendors-they would
blind
The eyes that now have light to see the
way;
Only little sunlight for my day.
And for my night the shadows soft and kind;
And for my wealth the quiet of the mind.
Gentle and sweet; and lips that sing or say
In kindness and are answered when thew
pray;
And for my glory, duty, love defined.
And give to me the love of her whose kiss
Is recompense for toll; whose smiles await
My coming, frightening with expected bliss
In some sweet spot where twilight lingereth
late;
And yet one other blessing crowning this,
In little footsteps pattering to the gate.

HIGH-TIDE

The high-tide of the year has come at last;
From their mysterious desps the waves
of white
And pink and green are breaking on
our sight;
The airy cloud ships, slowly sailing past.
Light shadows on the shimmering orchards
cast:
The frag:snt breeze seems to repel their
flight,
And on the outspread treea the songsterS
light,
Yet with the wings of music travel fast.
Then comes the full. delicious rise and fall
OF night and morn; and dreamy twi-
lights fill
The soul like sweet responses to call;
Where once were roses there are roses
still
The easth must pattern after her old ways
AS long as there are Juues and summer days.
