A Runaway.

A sorrel horse attached to an express
wagon laden with empty baking powder
boxes ran uU Alamo street at a mad gait
until the animal reached and turned into
Commerce street this morning at 9 o'clock.
When he reached that point the horse
slipped on the wet mesquite blocks and
fell but slid about thirty feet before he
stopped. The seat and harness were
broken, but otherwise no damage was
done and the animal was tied securely
until his owner came for him.

hnIs That Car Dance.

A remarkable curiosity is nut which
grows at Hermosillo, Sonora, Old Mex
leo. 1t is called the nuez del diablo.
Major Davis, who is just now holding
down Colonel BARRIERS chair as Adjutant
General in the Department of the Dako.
tas, was sitting in mis- easy chair contem-
plating half dozen Of the meats Of these
nuts, which had just been Sent north by
an officer Of the regular army who is now
in Mexico. The nuts were dancing about
in a very mysterious way, and a Pioneer
Press man aud several others who were
watching the strange performance were
completely mystifed.
'I'll not tell you what is the matter
with these nuts" said the major. Pm
not going to give away my trick. When
man learns a good 5leight-of-hand
performance is he going to give it away
for nothingl guess not"
The nuts continued to dance, aud
Lieutenant Sturgis, who was as much in
the dark as the reporter, began a critical
examination OF the crazy objects sup
posed to be inanimate.
"Oh, yes, think have the trick,
said the lieutenant. "There is some
thing alive in these nuts. There is
strange throbbing in them"
The reporter picked up one Of the
nuts, and surely enough there was very
peculiar throbblng sensation in it. The
major was 50 thoroughly amused By this
time that be could no longer withhold the
secret. It seems that a worm is born on
the inside of the meat of this nut and
that it lives there for some weeks and
dies without seeing the light OF day.
The worm eats out the inside of the
meat, then becomes FESTIVE and moves
about a great deal. It is in this period
that the nuts become apparently animate.
The moving of the worm causes the nut
to turn about.-St. Paul (AIinn.) PioneeE

PerlIs of CROSSING Ice.

An English artist, author OF "From
the Arctic Ocean to the Yellow Sea, re-
cords two exciting adventures in the
crossing of rivers on the ice. In the first
case the tarantass-a Russian vehicle, In
shane not unlike a very unwieldly ba-
rouche"-broke through, but the water
was not deep, aud no great harm was
done. The second experience was more
trying, though it, too, was without any
serious consequences.
At my last station but one the post
master did not like to have me 60 on. 1t
would soon be dark, and the road was
bad; and he added something which l
did not catch. ordered the fresh taran-
tass and horses, however, aud was soon
on the move again.
It was quite dark when we came to
what looked like an immense white
plain. This, the driver told me, was the
River selenga. In the darkness, the OPP
posite bank was scarcely visible. Our
road lay right across it.
At the edge OF the ice my driver got
down, saying that he would go and look
round before venturing on it, as man
who had that afternoon come in from
the next station reported that the ice was
beginning to break up. remembered
an adventure of my own shortly before
this, and felt the least bit uncomfortable
when the driver, after being gone some
twenty minutes, came back and said he
thought it would be all right.
1t may have been my fancy, but the
numbering vehicle seemed to weigh more
than ever as it ratified over the ice. We
had reached, I suppose, about the mid
die of the river, when suddenly the
horses drew up OF their own accord,
snorting with fear. A large dark mass
was in front of them.
Nothing could induce them to 90 on.
The driver got down to see what was the
trouble, and almost Immediately re-
turned and getting up, hastily drove in
another direction, informing me in an
aved whisper that it was water. then
made out that the dark mass was a huge
gap in the ice. The intelligence of the
horses had undoubtedly saved us.
After a long circuit We reached what
appeared to be the opposite bank, only
to find that it was an island, aud that
there was another broad stretch Of ice
still to be crossed.
The driver had now the greatest diff
Guilty in getting the terror striker ami
mails to 20 on at all. It was only after
much coax.ug, and eventually leading
them himself, that they could be per-
suadcd to venture on the treacherous
slriace. This time, nevertheless, we got
across without further incident, aud it
was with feeling Of genuine relief that
felt the tarantass once more rolling over
the erass.-St. Louis Republic.

now LONG TO KEEP SHEEP.

To answer the question in a general
way, "How long should sheep be kept, ="
the answer is-as long as profitable.
This reply, however, is dependent on
the purpose Tor which sheep are kept
and upon the breed. When wool grow
ing was the sole intention and purpose Of
keeping sheep, the Merino was the most
profitable sheep, because it gave larger
heeces and more valuable wool, and its
longevity was an important Characters
tic. Not infrequcntly a Menno sheep
was profitable at ten, twelve ald some
times greater age, both for lambs and
wool. "Now, says a spondent in
Farm and Fireside, at is quite evident
that grave errors and damages were made
in breeding sheep a: such extreme ages.
Sat this time, when immense sheep
raising is practiced, a better plan is to
dispose Of sheep as soon as they reach
their best commercial value. This NAV
be at three years, or three months, and
again at three weeks old. Tae market
value determines the best time to sell the
surplus Of the flock. When tue time
comes that there is the most clear profit,
whether it be lamb, breeding animal
or mature mutton, that is the best time
to sell it. There need be no false ideas
on the question; it is purely, simply q
matter Of financial economy to be de.
cided by circumstances ana market
prices. 1t Is false notion to keep a
sheep as long as it lives, un.il there is no
profit in it, until it dies Of old age.
Some breeders make it an unvarying rule
to put everything of at four, some at
five years old, and thus keep the flock
young. It may be we'll to follow some
such rule, but that rule should be in &C.
cord with the above; the time TO sell is
when there is the most new money ia a
sheep"

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
TIE VALUE OF FUEs.

Where such noxious animals as
skunks, minks, weasels, opossums, etc.,
abound it may be made a profitable
business to trap them during the winter,
and thus not only make a little money,
but destroy these active and destruc-
tive enemies of poultry. They are
caught with steel spring traps, of which
the Newhouse traps, made by the
shakers OF New lebanon, Peun., are
the best. The head or intestines OF a
chicken make excellent bait, and this
should be tied to a slender rod stuck in
the ground so that it hangs over the
trap. The furs are valued at So 80 for
good rink, Sl25 for black skunk,
forty-fve cents for striped skunk, and
fifty cents for opossnm. Any produce
commission agent or furrier or country
store keeper will buy the furs.-New
York Times.

OPENING QUARRIEs FOR PROFIT.

OILNlNd ROAlhlES FOX PNOflts
We have often urged upon farmers the
great importance Of knowing the uude-
veloptd resources Of their farms. Over
and over again We have known farmers
living for years on land that gave them
scanty returns, while underneath in quar-
ries of stone or OF sand aud gravel, lay
more wealth that would flow into their
pockets almost of itself, than they have
been able to accumulate by years 6iihard
labor. Few realize how much these nee.
essary materials for building are worth
when they are near busy city, or where
they can easily be shipped by rail or
canal. Usually farms that have these un
developed advantages are purchased by
quick witted spectators for far less than
they are worth, while the original owner
looks on and vainly sees what might
have been bis turned to the advantage of
others who have known how to make the
most Of advantages that he was too dull
10 appreciate. If you don't want to take
the work of opening quarry, give your
boys the chance. 1t may keep them from
going to the city, and mayhap give them
larger returns than most who go to cities
can gain and kecp.-Boston Cu!tiyator.
