after the conclusion Of the reading
Boutelle began an assault in bringing
forward Il resolution declaring that
the administration policy was incon-

Great excitement reigned and in the
confusion Boutelle failed to follow up
his parliamentary advantage and was
ruled out of order

Along Grizzly Bear river, in the
Rockies, there are many bear haunts
or wintering dens, which the Indian
guides point out to travellers. Ac-
cording to Indian stories, bear will
lie in dark and secluded retreat
all winter without food or nourish-
ment, sucking its paws. The bear
does not burrow in the ground but
covers himself with fallen leaves.
Over the den the snow is often many
feet deep, and the BEARS hiding place
is only discovered by an air hole SO
small that nothing but the keen eye
Of savage could find it. The In
dams say that the Rocky mountain
bear lie thus in a torpid sta te from
December until March.

The people of Russia are more ter

census taken of the blind of Europe

state of affairs, especially in Euro

$4,000 persons who are totally bereft
of sight. In the Caucasus the
women, especially those of country

there are twenty-five blind men for

THE COURTEOUS BURGLAR.

He Has Pleasant Interview With the
Man He Expected to Rob.
A well-known Paris clubman, the
Viscount de Saint Rieul, came home
the other evening at 10 o'clock Hav-
ing forgotten his glasses, he wasn't
able to take part in game of poker
at the sporting club. He hired car
riage and gave the driver orders to
take him to his house in the Rue
Saint-Florentin. OF course at that
hour his valet de chambre was out.
Saint-Rieul entered his apartments
by means of a night key. On going
into the parlor he found stranger
endeavori to open little safe. The
stranger turned round on hearing
him enter. Saint-Rieul took off his
hat and in courteous tone said,
''No doubt, sir, you are a burglary
s'Sure enough" replied the stran-
ger.
Il am sorry to disturb you," con-
tinued Saint-Rieul.
''How could fellow imagine, y
said the burglar. "that man of the
world like you, and such a reputed
clubman, could come home so early as
this?''
II forgot something. Only for that
my presence would be inexplicable. "
''The burglar sighed: Il have no
sort of luck of late, and while waiting
for good stroke. the plans of which
are already laid, ! just came in here

I might get rusty

he said, 1.-the biggest ever see. =
The two men consulted, and finally
sent for the local authority upon
snakes, Mr.. Burns. As soon as they
told him he knew that his anaconda
had been found. He went down the
ladder, and there, sure enough, was
his anaconda frozen hard in the mud.
He dug it out and brought its stiff
body to the surface. It was twelve
feet long with q head about four
inches long. It's body was much
swollen, being nearly twice as thick
as it's normal diameter of eight
inches. The middle of the body was
especially distended.
Burns cut the anaconda open and
found in the stomach the bodies OF
half dozen big sewer rats, which
the anaconda had not had time to
digest before it was frozen to death.

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov. 3, 1893.
DEAR BRETHEN Il sent you my cir
cular in regard to egg crates and boxes
and explained to you the method of
shipping, ETC., and how to purchase
crates and boxes. Now l wish to re-
neat to you that it is a great deal of
trouble to this office and expensive to
vOu to order one cratea time; ten crates
knocked DOWN will not cost any more
freight than one. We have them
bundled in crates of ten each. If you
intend to ship one crate and stop, it
will amount to very little for you or
the Agency. 1t is only by your ship
ming regularly every week that we can
hope to get fancy prices. If you ship
a crate one week and then wait three
or four weeks, your eggs are stale and
the sale of them will damage the
Agency and yourself. We have the
assurance of parties who have followed
our plan of regular shipping that they
are getting from 10 cents and more
above market price for all the eggs
thev can get into market. If you will
try it for 10 weeks and are not satisfied.
stop; but give it a fair trial first and [
am sure that you will not wish to stop
hut will desire to increase your ship
ments. Hereafter I will ship out not
less than six crates and 80 baskets at a
time, but would prefer that you order
a bundle Of 10 crates and $50 baskets.
For the first order from a Sub Alliance
for crates, l will send one completed
as a sample by which to make up the
others. Remember this: The plan
adopted by me was not hurriedly got
ten up, but it has been chosen after
months of thought and study upon this
one subject. It is the plan for the
security of each one of US, and for t e
upbuiIding of the greatest farm indus
of this time. F~raternally,
