JOHNNY WAS NO FARMER.

The Professor of Bumps Made the Big
gest Mistake of His Life.
Johnny is a bright lad of twelve win
tiers and summers, and if he keeps on at
the rate he is now travelling he is des-
tined to become great man, says the
st. Louis Republic. His mother gave
him quarter the other day, but instead
of investing in marbles or balls he de-
termined to consult a phrenologist in
order, as he said, ''to find out what he
was good for He visited a neighbour
ing expert in bumps and deposited his
quarter, with the remark:
''Mister, please tell me all you know
bout me. See?''
The phrenologist placed Johnny in a
chair, and, beginning in a very impress
sive voice, said:
young man, your forte in life lies in
the direction of the country. You
should be a farmer
There was a moment of silence while
the expert felt his way through Johnny's
bristling hair. Finally the phrenologist
began again:
''Ah, young man, here is another and
more decided bump. This protuberance
denotes want of energy. You should
exert yourself to run about, play with
other boys, take more exercise, and''-
'Hully gee!'' shouted Johnny, wrig-

A Novel Fish Net.

Sullivan county, where wild land may
be bought at less than five dollars an
acre and where many trout streams are
unpreserved, has an extraordinary
story of a Brooklyn sportsman who found
himself at the edge of a trout hole lit
orally swarming with fish when he was
unprovided with tackle. He gave de-
spairing glance at the fish and was
about to pass on when a most unsports-
manlike idea came into his head, and
the next moment he yielded to the
temptation. The stream was narrow
and the sportsman was broad, SO tax
ing off his trousers he tied the legs into
sacks, and going to the narrowest part
of the trout hole down stream he
weighed down the waistband with
stones and propped wide the natural
entrance to the trousers with stout
sticks. Then wading into the stream
above the fish, he had the satisfaction
of driving the whole shoal into the
gaping mouth of his Melted garments.
Approaching cautiously he snatched
the trousers from the water and laid
their writing limbs upon the bank.
His conduct was most unsportsmanlilke,
but those who ate the trout overlooked
this little matter of technique.

Bounds to Her Ambition.

With the fashionable craze for tailor
made get-ups, shirts, waistcoats and
scarfs, there is, nevertheless, an occas-
sional girl who cannot master four
finland, or tie black satin scarf as it
should be. One of these, says the New
York Sun, went into a haberdasher's
the other day to buy scarf to wear
with her boyish costume. After she
had looked at them she said:
''Oh, dear me, shall never be able to
tie thisi Why can't 1 have one that is
already tied, with hooks behind?" Very
firmly the answer came to her:
But, madam. no gentleman would
think of wearing a ready-tied scarf

Napoleon's Chaise.

One of the attractions at an industrial
exhibition recently held in Metz was
the chaise in which Napoleon travelled
from Paris to Moscow in 1872 It was
bequeathed to Baron de Hunolstein,
who sold it to man in Metz upon the
condition that it should never be con-
sidered as an article of commerce. The
purchaser, in fact, bound himself in
writing to destroy the vehicle if he
should not wish to preserve it. 1t at
tracted great attention at Metz and it's
owner received several very advanta-
geous offers from persons who wished
to possess it. One of these he was on
the point of accepting when the heirs
of Baron Hunolstein interfered and in
sisted that the contract must be lived
up to. The owner was SO angered at
losing chance to make a nice sum OF
money that he threatened to fulfill the
contract, not by preserving the historic
chaise, but by chopping it into kindling

SUICIDE OF A COW.
Terrible Effects of a Long Drought in Ar

Terrible Effects of a Long Drought in Ar1-
zona Territory.
A Phoenix "a. T.) dispatch says:
Everybody knows Charlie Duchet, who
is a typical western character. He
knows every inch Of ground between
Phoenix and the Navajo reservation,
and has had hairbreadth escapes by the
dozen. He returned recently from a
trip to the Mogollones and had quite a
rough time. He left Fort Mcdowell
and went up to the Gerde and through
quicksand, high water and other draw
backs; was three and half days with
out food, himself and horse, and trav-
eled in that time eighty-three miles.
He reports a terrible condition of af-
fairs in the ranges of that section. It
is dryer than ever before known, and
cattle are perishing by hundreds. At
one place he was In a box canyon and
observed that cattle which came to
drink were so weak and exhausted that
on comingto the creek they fell into the
water, some of them drowning and 9TH
ers drinking so much that they could
not walk.
The country is utterly barren of feed,
and cattle walk lowing over the mesas,
cropping brush and anything that bears
signs Of vegetable life. Mr.. Duchet
was near a cliff at least three hundred
feet high over the Verde, on Murray's
ranch, and saw COW walking slowly
toward the edge. He expected to see
1t stop at a reasonable distance, but in
stead, without Stacking its pace, it
walked right over the edge, striking
| two or three times in the precipitous
| descent and landing mangled and dead.
It was as clear a case Of suicide as ever
occurred. Other cattle have been
known to walk into quicksand and be
SmOthered.
