that the sound emanated from the children
OF a German farmer who had been stationed

blessed with progeny. his wife having borne
him no less than twelve children. including
four pnirs Of twins. He had been yearly
bothered with crows in complaining time,
and he had adopted all the scarecrow devices

Rufus Hatch Advises His Sons Not to
Go to College.

The will Of Rufus Hatch was ad-
mitted to probate in New York last
week. The estase is valued at about
100000. In the will he gives the
following advice to his sons: Il do
not wish my boys to 60 to college,
but to receive q commercial educa-
ton. Should any Of them, however,
wish to become lawyer, doctor or
clergyman, then he may 60 to col
lege; but / much prefer that my
sons should learn mechanical
trade, so that they will always be
sure of an honest livelihood. l
most strongly warn my children
not to use tobacco in any shape
taste or use vine or liquor in any
way. / earnestly desire that my
children shall not gamble IN any
way for money. Their father has
had experience sufficient to serve
for all his posterity.

Death for Deserters.

James Corbin, an old resident of
Canton, Ill.,, has quaint and in
teresting relic that he, as boy in
Ohio, found in a deserted log cabin
over sixty years ago. 1t is q solid
copper ball, described by the st.
Louis Republic as about an inch
and a quarter in diameter. When
first made it was perfect shape,
but has been hattened by hammer
ing so that, while preserving its
spherical form, it has thirty-two
fat facets, arranged so that a line
from the middle of one facet
through the center would strike the
middle of another facet. Upon each
of these was deeply stamped a num-
ber, from to 80. When the ball
is rolled it will, of course, stop with
one of those fat places upon what
ever it rests and its complement at
the top. In every instance the two
numbers added together make 33.
For instance, if 19 is at the top the
ball will be found to rest on IA. IL
would be paired with 20, 30 with
/ and so on, the top and bottom
figures alway making 33. The only
man who ever saw this curious piece
of copper and~ claimed to know
the use it was intended for is said to
have been.J John Crosby of Zanes-
vile, O., near which place it was
found. Mr.. Crosby claimed it was
used in the English army a good
many years ago as a means fo'
casting the "death lot" Desertiou
from the army used to be invaria-
bly, followed by sentence Of death
as soon as the deserter was caught
Sometimes there was a good many
under sentence of death, but only
part of them were executed at one
time. If any number, say five, were
| to be shot at given time the I'M
prisoned men were given number
The ball was then rolled. Ih.
number upermost when the bal
stopped indicated one of the mer
who was to be executed, and so OF
until the required number OF VIC
Tins were secured.

A Chinaman's Views.

One of the most intelligent Chi
namen in this camp, says the De-
Lamar Nugget, dropped into the
Office lately to express his views on
the-Chinese-must-go question and
also regarding the law suppressing
opium smoking. He regrets that
his people followed the advice OF the
Six Companies and did not regis
ter. and sees plainly that they made
q bad mistake, and hopes that de.
portation will not begin until Con.
eress has given them another brief
chance to rectify it. In regard to
the opium law, he says it would
have been wiser for the legislature
to have passed law fixing heavy
license upon the opium dens and
to have let the Cinnamon indulge
in this, their besetting vice. He
argues that no white people who
are worth saving in a community
ever become adicted to the vice, only
few women from the lowest fringe
of the lower ten thousand, and a
few men who are lower down IN
the grade of humanity than these
women, are ever drawn into the
Joints. and the world is no worse
off for this fitting climax of their
downfall; aud as for the Cinnamon
who "hit the pipe" they do q com
munity no harm, being themselves
harmless. hence to punish them la

Death From Lack Of Food the Most
Horrible Of All.

"The most horrible death OF all
is that of starving" observed Oscar
Christensen, who is stopping at
the Richelieu. "The most vigor is
lent to it by being imprisoned in a
cave or mine. Some years ago l
was working in coal mine near
Padua, Ohio. The distance from
the mouth down to the first vein,
where l was working, was sixty
three feet. It was an 8-foot vein
and had been we'll worked, 80 that
many large chambers were made
and plenty of space was had to
move about in. A miners life is
rather wearisome and lonely, in
deed. You have to labor all day
long in darkness, with only little
wick lamp on your cap to break
the intense darkness. The life is
much too hard for the recompense.
Then ones life is always in danger.
Great rocks are liable to and do
frequently fall. Explosive gases
and fire-damp are generated, and
the first approach of a light sets
them off. The mine is then wrecked
and the miners-well, / was once

very quietly, away back from the
shaft of the mine, and all alone.

dull. smothered roar that was fol-

realized that was penned in; that
the mine was wrecked, and that my
life was worth very little. The
noise soon died away, and things
were much as they were before.

100 feet, then l heard groans, and
