Smart Conjuring.

A corporal and two privates, having
in their custody deserter, we're resting
themselves at country tavern not long
ago.
Toe deserter amused his guardians
with several entertaining sleight- Of hand
tricks, but being encumbered with hand
cuffs, complained that he could not dis.
play his skill to advantage, aud re-
quested to having his hands at liberty,
whilst he exhibited trick which he de-
scribed.
This being agreed to, he proceeded to
tie the hands of the three soldiers aud
his own together with a handkerchief,
aud he was to loose the four with one
motion simultaneously.
The magic knots we're tied, but they
all remained firm except the one which
held the deserter. This came asunder
with touch, when he lifted up the sash
and darted through the window, leaving
his keepers raging at each other like
ill-coupled hounds. The deserter has
not been seen since. Yankee Blade.

A RemarkabIe oonfederncy Of savages

The Iroquois, as they were named by
the French, or the Five Nations, as they
called themselves, hung like cloud over
the whole great continent. Their con-
federation was a natural one, for they
were of the same stock and spoke the
same language, and all attempts to sepa-
rate them had been in vain. Mohawks,
Cayugas, Onondagas, Oneidas, and Sene-
cas- were proud of their own totems and
their own chiefs, but in war they were
Iroquis, aud the enemy of one was the
enemy of oil. Their numbers were small,
for they were never able to put two
thousand warriors in the field, and their
country was limited, for their villa yes
were scattered over the track which lies
between Lake Champlain aud Lake On
tario. But they were united, they were
cunning, they were desperately brave,
and they were fiercely aggressive and en-
ergetic. Holding a central position,
they struck out upon each side in turn,
never content with simply defeating au
adversary, but absolutely annihilating
aud destroying him, while holding all
the Others in check by their diplomacy.
War was their business, and cruelty their
amusement. One by one they had turned
their arms against the various Nations,
until for o space OF over thousand
square miles none existed save by suffer
ancc. They had swept away Hurons and
Huron missions in one fearful massacre.
They had destroyed the tribes of the
northwest, until even the distant Sacs
aud Foxes trembled at their name. They
had secured the whole country to west
ward, until their scalping parties had
come into touch with their kinsmen the
Sioux, who were lords of tho great plains,
even as they were of the great forests.
The New England indians in the east,
aud the Shawnees and Delawares further
south, paid tribute to them, and the ter
ror Of their arms had extended over the
borders of Maryland aud Virginia. Never
perhaps in the worlds history has so
small body of men dominated so large
district and for so long a time.
For half a century. hose tribes hal
nursed grudge towards the French,
since Champlain and some of his follow
ers had taken part with their enemies
against them. During all these years
they had brooded in their forest villages,
flashing out now and again in some Dor.
der outrage, but waiting for the most
part until their chance should come.
And now it seemed to them that it had
come. They had destroyed all the tribes
who might have allied themselves with
the white men. They had isolated them.
They had supplied themselves with good
guns aud plenty of ammunition from the
Dutch aud English of New York. Tue
long thin line of French settlements lay
naked before them. They were gathered
in the woods like hounds in leash, wait
ing for the orders of their chiefs which
should precipitatc them with torch and
with tomahawk upon the belt Of villages.

Cremating Garbage.

The consumption of garbage by
cremation has been begun in quite a
number OF places in this country, and the
one which is an object lesson to our
other cities in Massachusetts, and New
England is the double-fire system now in
use in Lowell aud in other parts of the
country. The crematory is brick
structure, forty feet long, ten feet wide
and twelve feet high, with stack
seventy-fve feet in height. The top of
the furnace is reached by platform, and
the garbage is collected in carts and
dumped down the slopes into the feed
holes in the top of the furnace. After
the furnace has been charged two fires
are lighted. The flames pass from the
first fire to the garbage piled on the
CRATES and the gases and smoke attend
ing the combustion then pass to the
second fire, where they are consumed.
All the products of the burning of the
garbage must pass through one of these
fires. We have not room for detailing
how this system is managed, but the re-
suits are such that it works successfully
wherever it has been tried, and its adop-
tion IN many of our large cities is appar.
emily only question of time. Boston

A Machine for Checking Moneys.

A useful machine has been construct
ed for recording and checking moneys
received. The device consists OF stamp
which bears on it's base an impression
plate holding the words received, name
and. date. Figures are placed on three
wheels, on the shafts of which are Sec
ond series of wheels. so arranged that
any combination of figures shown out
side the stamp are also shown inside.
and the same igures are thus printed on
the record paper in the top of the stamp
rs are imprinted on the invoice paper uu-
derneatb. Each time the stamp IS used
the recoil of the handle carries forward
the record paper SO as to present fresh
surface for the next printing, and by a
simple arrangement inside the stamp no
receipt can be given without the record
Taper beng moved. 1t is therefore i'm
possible to give a receipt without record
ing the transaction inside the apparatus.
The stamp can be adjusted and receipt
given in one-ttird the time occupied IN
writing a receipt, with the further ad-
vantage that the apparatus cannot make
mistakes.-Chicago News Re:ord.

Among the hopeful features in New
Mexico is the fact that the public school
system is growing in favor. While not
long since there were no public school
buildings even in sucn cities as Albu.
querque and Las Vegas, there are now
four in Albuquerque, costing about
$40, 900, and high SCHOOL building is
soon to be put up at cost OF S25 900.
Las Vegas is not far behind. Each
county has superintendent of schools.
One difficulty arises from the fact that
the progress has been confined to the
larger cities, the severe drought of nearly
three years duration having seriously
affected many lines of business. Four.
fifths of the population of 175, 900 are
Mexicans and Indians.

Hunting the Alligator in Florida.

J. Hill gives some lively experience
OF hunts after alligators in Florida. He
says the hunting is done at night in q
small boat. One man stands IN the bow
of the boat with bullseye lantern; au-
other uses the oars; while third is
ready with rifle to do the shooting.
The lantern shines the eyes of the
alligator. On the dark and placid bosom
OF the lake the gators eyes shine like
two balls OF fire. Noiselessly the boat
is moved to where the balls of fire
glisten. When within few feet OF the
alligator the rldeman sends ball crush
ing into his head between the eyes. IL
the shot is good one, the gator turns
over on his back and is hauled into the
boat. Sometimes when only badly
wounded the alligator gives mucl trouble
aud Is likely to prove dangerous. At

1t was past midnight. Mrs. Bascomb
was reading a very interesting novel.
She was surprised when the clock struck
the half hour, aud laid her book down.
Not that she felt sleepy, but she had just
determined that she would sleep down
stairs in the new folding.bed in the back
parlor. There were portieres between
the rooms, but these were drawn back
and hung limp on either side.
The ''bed" was large handsome book
case, with bric-a .brac on its top shelf.
Mrs. Bascomb let it down aud admired it
from all sides. 1t took up all the space
between the walls, except just room
enough for her to pass to the little table
under the mirror, where Howard's revol-
yer lay. She now pushed this further
back aud laid her watch aud chain-her
wedding present from her father--her
diamond graduation ring, her diamond
engagement ring and her purse, which
she took out of the pocket of her dress,
on the table in a shining heap.
~ wonder if he married the tall, thin
one, or the short, homely one she said
to herself, and, going out into the par
lor, picked up the book again, aud was
soon deep in the plot.
A noise reused her. She looked at the
folding doors leading into the hall.
They were locked, she knew. Then she
turned her eyes toward the back parlor.
otis the new folding bed getting
used to being open," she thought, con.
scious of slight exhilaration in the re-
gion of her heart. Then she glanced al
mirror, in which she saw the full
length figure of a man standing back OF
the portieres.
I have heard it said, or read some.
where, that every man is ready to pro-
4 tect woman from every other man ex-
| cept himself. At that moment Lottie
Bascomb would rather nave seen tiger
standing ready to devour her. Her next
surprise was at his manner of address:
"Good evening, ma'am," and he
! stepped from the portiere and stood be-
fore her. ''You needn't be frightened,
I amt goin' to hurt you."
"What do you wants" Her voice did
not even tremble.
81 want the money your husband
brought home that he's goin' to take to
New York tomorrow.
~ don't know what money you mean,
but my husband is on his way to New
York now. He left to-day at noon"
She had risen from her chair and
started forward to reach the revolver.
But she could not outwit the disap-
pointed and enraged burglar.
He sprang to intercept her, and
!struck his foot against the folding bed,
throwing himself across it in his attempt
to retain his balance. There was grind
ing, whirring sound aud complete dis
appearance of one of the principals in
this affair.

DIR. Burchard, director of the Botani-

SOMETIME, soMEwHERE.

Meier tell us that all the endeavor
We make shall bring fruitage never;
That there's no such place as heaven.
That sinners cannot be forgiven.
That sin, like the wound on the finger.
May heal, but the scar will yet liuger,
Nor vanish through years or tears.
The answer speaks never to doubt us,
Endeavor reaps harvests about us;
While happiness comes to the masses,
And fire may restore wilted grasses
When wrong to the stubble fields righted.
1t blooms as it neer had been blighted,
A meadow of fragrance for years.

On that same night belated citizen
hurrying home was accosted from the
lower window of house he was passing
in the residence portion Of the city.
"Sir, oh, sirI"

voice, pitched at an alarm key.
"Will you please find the policeman

"Can 1 be of any assistance2"
"No. It's burglar, and have him
safe."
The policeman arrived, and with him
the passer. by she had accosted, whose
services were not required, however.
The policeman went to the telephone aud
summoned help. Meanwhile he took up
a position where earlier in the evening
the folding-bed had stood. 1t was now

tance.
"Nowl" said the sergeant, and he
manipulated the desk as Mrs. Bascomb
had shown him now to do, moment
before.
1t came down on the run, aud there,
limp and half-smothered, was the trapped
burglar, his forehead cut aud bleeding
from a chance incision as the bed had
shut up with him in an explosive en-
brace.
