AN ELOQUENT AGENT,
Her Graceful Blsrney Was Sometimes
Irresistible.

Her Graceful BlRrney Was Sometimes
Irresistible.
The proprietor of large building in
one of the eastern cities, which con-
tains several FLATS" or living apart
ments on the upper floors, says that he
never succeeded in renting these apart
ments readily until he employed very
eloquent Irish woman as janitress or
agent for the care and letting of them.
Several times the graceful "blarney"
of this excellent woman had secured
customer where a less gifted agent
would probably have failed.
''Kinvayniences, is it?" says she to
applicants for the rooms, "Sure, it's
hot an could wather at all hours of the
day an noight agrayable to yer tashte,
woman O. the quane of England by
preference"
Are the rooms comfortably warmed?"
asks an inquirer.
''Are they wahrmed!" with a sur
prised air. "Sure, wild a sloight turn O.
yer wrisht ye have amy degray O.
timperature known to the therime-
ther!'
"But the staircase; is that easy to go
up?"
''Now, thin," says the eloquent agent,
as if she were reaching the climax of all
the wonderful advantages of the build
ing, ''the staircase is that aisy that
whin ye're goin opp, ye would we'll be-
lave that yere comm down."
The intending tenant usually ca
pitulates at this point.

THE VENGEANCE OF WOLVES.
A Pack Kills One of Their Number for
Supposed Lying.


During one of my hunting and fish
ing excursions in Louisiana, says a
writer in Forest and Stream, was fish
ing ON lake two or three miles long
and from one-quarter to one-half mile
wide. On one side the hill land came
down toward the lake, leaving about
one quarter mile of sand beach, and
while there I saw deer running at the
top of it's speed toward the lake, and
moment later wolf appeared in hot
pursuit. Expecting them to plunge in
to the lake, when could overtale and
kill them both in the water. kept my
place. Just before the deer reached the
water 1t was caught by the wolf,
which pulled it down and killed it.
Then the wolf stalked about, looked
around, trotted off some distance, and
set up howl, went farther and again
howled, and then into the woods, when
heard more bowling. The wolf being
out of sight I rowed my boat to the
place and got the deer, and then went
luck to my Ash hooks. Shortly there
appeared on the scene pack of ten or
twelve wolves. They shifted and moved
all around where the deer had been
killed. These movements occupied con-
siderable time. They would huddle to-
gether, change about, and mixing up
trot around 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
that wolf killed for? 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 saw for lying it was the only
time 1 ever knew wolf to be killed
wrongfully.

TREES IN A CHURCH.



Trees are common enough in church.
yards, but tree inside church is
somewhat of rarity. A correspon-
AApt, however, informs the London
Million, that there are two trees grow
ing inside the old church of Ross of
Herefordshire, They sprang up near
the seat formerly occupied by man
named John Kyrle, who acquired fame
and distinction many years ago by ex-
pending a modest fortune in works of
public usefulness. These chiefly took
the form of planting elm trees in his
native town, in order to brighten and
improve its appearances work which
has since been carried on and extended
by the Kyrle society. In consequence
of these operations Kyrle became
known as the ''Man of Ross" Many,
years later 1t was found necessary to
cut down some of the elm trees near
the church, and curious thing then
happened. Immediately after the trees
were destroyed two elm trees sprang up
inside the church close to the seat
which the "Man of Ross" used to occu-
py when he attended divine service
there. The trees were allowed to grow.
in this strange spot, and may still be
seen by visitors to the town.

On the Veranda.

The most enjoyable part of every
summer home is the broad veranda,
and for this nothing can take the
place of rattan furniture, as the
pieces are So light that q child can
move them, and this is a valuable
quality in selecting things for these
fresh air parlors. The half reclining
chair is compromise with the
lounge which many people prefer,
and it finds great favor with delicate
people and invalds. There are also
capacious easy.chairs with adjustable
backs which can be raised and low
cred at will. A roomy pocket or
rack of some sort should be provided
for newspapers and magazines, as the
frolic wind likes to play with these,
and soon creates great havoc unless
there is some place to keep them.
A generous provision of cushions
adds much to everyone's comfort ;
but the dainty materials suitable for
indoors are out of place on the Yeran-
da. The twilled linens which come
now in many colors, and blue or red
denim or the new changeable denim
blue and red-are the most suitable
choice if to be embroidered. Bold,
conventionalized patterns that are
not very much work are selected,
and the art-linen floss is used for
embroidering. There are many Jap
anese cotton fabrics which are pretty
enough to use without embroinery.
A wide ruffle of the stuff doubled
makes an effective finish for the edge
Comfortable head-cushions to throw
oyer the tops of chair backs some
times have a convenient pocket in the
half of the cushion which falls back
ward. Somewhat similar cushions
tied on the broad arms of easy chairs,
with wide pocket hanging outward,
make acceptable catch-alls.
A great addition to the comfort of
the veranda is found in the bamboo
screens, or rattan screens,-the lat
ter are made to order any desired
size, the former can be bought in the
Japanese shops,-which are fastened
between the posts and Can be raised
or lowered as needed for protection
from wind or sun. If neither of
these be accessible, heavy awning
linen is the next choice. Braces are
attached to the bottom of the screens,
by which they can be extended to
admit the air while still protecting
from the sun, and they are fastened
upon rollers so they can be rolled up
entirely when necessary.
The rattan tea-tables are most
convenient for out door use, the
adjustable shelves afford so much
space when wanted.-Demoresfs

THE SOLITARY CHESS PLAYER,
A Turkish Srigand's Method of Pro-
cedure.

A Turkish Brigand's Method of Pro-
cedure.
In the early half of the century lived
kind, venerable Turk. His charita-
BILE impulses unfortunately being lim=
tied by not overabundant means, he
had adopted the method of assessing
privately the rich of the land per-
centage of their incomes, trusting to
his persuasion and the noble purpose
to collect the bounty wherewith to re-
lieve his suffering fellowmen. So sys-
tematically did he proceed that he
kept himself informed of the revenues
of the different individuals, and had
Ben Ali lost severely at the card table
since his preceding visit, or otherwise
met with financial reverses, his con-
tribution was lowered, and that of
those enriched thereby correspondingly
increased.
Once, when starting On one of his
regular semi=annual tours of collec-
tion, and riding through dense forest,
he came upon Turk deeply engaged
in a solitary game of chess Prompted
by curiosity he refined in his mule and
after awhile opened conversation by
asking who was the winner.
The player apparently was too deep
ly interested to notice him for few
moments, then, arising with evident
disgust, he replied: 81 lost"
"Who won?"
Allah"
"Allah? How much did you lose?"
asked the venerable Turk, in surprise.
Twenty piasters.
"And how do you pay Aliah?" he
continued.
Thereupon the Turk explained that
it was his daily habit to play game of
chess on that secluded spot with Allah
as opponent, he alone being worthy to
take his losings, and that Allah at
regular intervals sent an emissary in
the form of some traveller to collect
the bounty due him. In this instance
it was undoubtedly the person before
him, and accordingly he handed oyer
his purse containing one hundred pie
asters, the losings Of FIVE games.
Much pleased at this unexpected con-
tribution to his fund, and mentally re-
solving to come by the same way on
his return trip and collect Allah's fur
ther dues, the venerable man rode on.
Returning after an interval of five
days, he again fell in with the eccen.
trio player.
"Who won to-day?" he asked, as the
other rose.
II won to-day" was the reply.
Glow much did you win?"
"You see," was the explain alton,
"Allah is a much better player than /.
When ! lose, it costs me twenty pi-
asters; when win, get one thousand
piasters, and Allah always promptly
sends an emissary to pay his debts,
Pay up, old man"
With these words, and leveling pair
of cooked pistols at the stupetied trav-
eler, the brigand captured his purse
containing nearly twice the amount he
claimed as his due from Allah. .-Har-

THE GRAY WOLF,
1t Has Become Nearly Extinct in North
America.

1t Has Become Nearly Extinct in North
America.
The largest wolf of North America is
commonly known as the timber or gray
wolf. 1t was formerly generally dis
tributed throughout North America,
from the arctic regions to the tropics,
but has, of course, disappeared from all
settled portions of the country.
Over the larger portion of it's range
this wolf is gray in color, but in arctic
regions 1t is white, or nearly so, while
in Florida and some of the gulf states
and in British Columbia black form
exists. In Texas there are red or bay
wolves.
Except in its color, says Forest and
Stream, the large wolf of North Amer
lea (Canis occidentalis) is everywhere
the same, but in its habits there is more
or less difference, caused by the clrcum-
stances of it's environment. The wolves
of the north feed to considerable ex-.
tent on reindeer and caribou, those of
the east on deer, while those of the
south prey on deer and on the wild hogs,
which run at large through the pine,
forests and swamps. A few years ago
the center of abundance of the gray
wolf in America corresponded very
closely with the center of abundance Of
the buffalo. Great bands of these
gaunt and ever hungry animals accom-
panied the buffalo herds, killing calves
or old bulls, and sometimes cutting out
from the herd strong young heifers,
which they had little difficulty in pull
ing down, if they could once separate
them from the companionship of their
fellows.
Notwithstanding the fact that ever
since the settlement Of America the
wolf has been pursued with guns, traps
and poison, it is certain that no blow
was ever dealt this race so severe as the
extinction of the buffalo. Their nat
ural prey gone, the wolves turned their
attention to the herds of the stock men,
and for years now their depredattons
have resulted in very serious losses to
raisers of horses and cattle on the
northern plains. They do not attack
the herds when they are alarmed and
closely punched together, but prowl
about their outskirts, trying to cut off
the young stock. which they can easily
pull down. Sometimes small band of
wolves will roundup little bunch of
cattle, which stand In close circle,
their heads outward, prepared for the
attack. After circling about them for
short time, two or three of the wolves
will dash at the bunch, and if they can
scatter the animals it is the work of an
instant only to pull down a yearling or
to kill two or three calves, We have
seen two wolves thus destroy yearling
steer with no greater apparent effort
than setter dog w ould use in killing
a cat.

An Incident of the War Between Chill
and Peru.

An Incident of the War Between Chill
and Peru.
Towards the close of the recent war
between Chill and Peru, the Peruvians
found themselves quite shut in from
the outside world by the Chiiian block,
aiding fleet that lay off the harbor of
Callao. With two exceptions, the Peru
Wan navy had all been captured or de-
stroyed by the enemy, and these two
remaining ships, vessels of low speed
and little power, were mo0red behind
the breakwater, absolutely useless for
purposes of war. With all their power
of opposing the enemy gone, the Peru
vians turned their attention towards
destroying some of the hostile ships
that lay few miles off, constant
menace to the city of Callao. Frequent
futile attempts were made to blow up
the Chilian cruisers with torpedoes; but
the Chilians were too alert, and sue
eeeded in avoiding or destroying the
deadly missiles.
One forenoon, says Harper's Young
People, the picket vessel of the Chilian
fleet, a small steam gunboat, was
cruising inshore to take a near look at
the town and Notifications. While
steaming slowly along boat was dis
covered drifting down with the current
A nearer inspection proved it to be
fine new whale boat, with oars and
sails and complete outfit. The COM
mander of the Chilian steamed close up
to the boat and ordered tackles rugged
for hosting the prize on board. The
tackles were hooked, and the men on
deck walked away to the pipe of the
boatswain's whistle. Suddenly, as the,
boat left the water, a terrific explosion
took place, tearing the boat to atoms
and crushing in the gunboats side at
the water line, so that she filed
and sank, leaving her startled crew
struggling in the water. Most of them
were rescued by boats from the foreign
men-of-war lying near, but some were
never seen again. The boat was cum
ningly-devised weapon, having double
bottom filled with powerful explosive,
with a fuse and detonator connected to
the bolts to which the tackles hooked.
When the strain came on the bolts, as
the boat rose from the water, the fuse
was ignited and the explosion followed.

If the young men employed in
agricultural pursuits expect, or wish
to amount to anything as public men,
and exert an influence in public
affairs, they must associate them
selves together and become familiar
with economic or political affairs, and
through organization make their in
duence felt. Isolated and alone they
will remain mere ciphers, let their
natural qualifications be ever so
great. This is an era of association
and combination. "Going it alone"

who had made a great fortune in the
new country, and now desired beauti-
full wife to grace his household. No
one was fairer than Carrie. Truly, her
dowry was teeth like pearls and eyes
that cleaned like diamonds The SIM
pie song she used to sing, accompany

at the cottage, fingered in his memory,
and seemed to describe her to him
through all time: "She walks in beauty
like the night" Then from the neigh
boring chapel he heard the same voice
begin that song, and he started in
amazement.
Soon his disease asserted itself again,
and he went into the hospital once
moro. "Who was it sent me the bird?'
he asked the doctor one day.
"The lady who assists the chaplain
at service" was the reply.
''The lady who plays and sings?"
"Yes"
His face had become more human,
and one day he asked for the chaplain.
''You are a good man." he said to him,

how the nature of man may become
warped and moral traits sunk as con=

ried the rich American, her rejected
suitor had plunged in the widest life

and with him, as with many others,
that was his pndoing. Instead Of man=
fully standing up under the blow, and
doing his best to fulfill his destiny and
lead at least useful life, he bent like
a reed and swept along in the tide that
bears the multitude of erring souls to
the great sea of dishonor and crime.
He was gentlemanly swindler of the
most adroit type. His success in Aoats

great. AS he had personal fascina-

Fine Herd of Them In the Home Park

Few people are aware that the queen
possesses fine herd of German wild
boar at Windsor, which are kept in a
schweingarten formed out of corner of
the Home park. Wild boar was intro
duced at court during the regency, and
it has ever since been favorite winter
dish at the sovereigp's table. George
w. was exceedingly partial to roast
wild boar, and Prince Albert also liked
it very much,
Mr., Croker relates that the wild boar
which he tasted when dining with the
king at the Pavilion was like pork with,
a game flavor, or what pheasant is to
fowl; but George ". always insisted
that roast fowl is much better than q
roast pheasant.
Ernest, king of Hanover, sent a
boar's head "a genuine hur de sanglier)

Christmas from 1887 until 1850; but any
one who infringed his majesty's rigid
political creed was at once struck off
the list, which, therefore, contained but
very few names when his majesty died,
