A good story is told about transac-
tion In pigeons in which a crafty dealer
overreaciied himself. A Philadelphia
man went to a dealer to purchase D
dozen homing pigeons, and was both
surprised and delighted ut the ex-
tremely low price asked for the birds,
The bargain was finally concluded, and
the pigeons delivered. Two weeks
later the gentleman happened to be
passing, when the dealer stopped him
and asked how the birds were getting
on. ~ don't know" replied the gen.
tleman. II have not yet heard from

and then, with rueful laugh, he ad.
mitted that he had sold the birds te
cheaply because he knew that on BE-
ing released they would Immediately
return to their old home. But from
San Franciscol It was a clear case OF

On Turning Up Trousers.

am asked to explain why some men
think it fashionable to turn up the bot
toms of their trousers, and how such q
fashion originated. Men may turn up
their trousers in wet weather without
reproach, because the doing so is neat
and thrifty; but to turn up trousers in
dry weather was first thought of by
lot of London bank clerks, who sit on
the razor-back tops of the Oxford
street omnibuses, and are apt to rub
the bottoms of their trousers against
the hardware of the seats. To keep
them turned up through the day prob
ably struck them as economical. But
! have never seen men of fashion in
London turn UP their. trousers under
any circumstances. In wet weather
they take cabs, but for one of them to
appear on Rotten Row in the season
with his trousers turned up would be
Justly considered as a serious breach
of decorum. ! am aware that noble
earl at wedding recently in this city
appeared at the altar with his trousers
turned up. But am forced to con-
clude he intended that as a cynical
practical joke on the anglo-maniacs
and weak imitatorS he had met at the
New York clubs. who think it is Eng
lish to wear trousers turned up an inch
at the bottom.-N. Y. Press.

An UnnanaI Wendin1

''The funniest church wedding
every saw" said a confirmed victim to
the wedding habit, was one in a
Protestant Episcopal church in this
city the other day. The brides father
was rector of the church; her brother
was also a clergyman. The bride
wanted her father to marry her. When
the bridal party started up the aisle
two flower girls came first; then the
bride, walking alone; few feet back
of her the maid of honor. next two
bridesmaids, then the mother of the
bride unattended, and lastly two
more bridesmaids and the ushers. The
mother gave her daughter away. the
father married them, the brides broth.

THE FARMERS GARDEN.
1t Should Consist of at Least One Acre Of

1t Should Consist OF at Least one Acre Oh
the Best Soil.
The farmers garden should consist
of not less than one acre of the best
soil, eight by ten rods, and if it runs
over a knoll so as to get north and
south slope it will prolong the fruiting
season. Fence it in from the chickens
and have no shade trees in or about
the garden; everything needs sunlight
and culture. The ground should have
ten or twenty loads of the be st manure
to the acre every year. All rows should
run the entire length and be cultivated
with the horse. II you don't want
nineteen rods of any one vegetable fill
1t out with something else, and the
same with fruit. But you do want
whole row of grapes on the sunny
side. for you can buy two-year-old Con-
cord vines at one dollar per dozen, and
If you have more than you can eat they
are worth more to give away than to
sell, but your grocer will give you four
or five cents a pound for them, and
after four years planted ought to bear
twenty to forty pou unds Eight feet
from the grapes set row of currants,
gooseberry and pieplants, so you can
drive over this row to mulch, then
eight feet from this u row of black
berries, then u row of red raspberries,
next ackberries; now have two rows
of strawberries tho entire length Of
the garden, one row of pistillates, one
row of perfect lowered varieties side
by side, the rows four feet apart and
the plants two to three feet.-G. j. Kel

HOW TO KILL CRoCoOlLEs.
Shoot Them or CntcLr-rhem on a Line and
Take AN Az.

Shoot Them or Cntcly-Them on a Line aud
Take Az.
There are two ways of killing croco-
dies, writes an ex-residcnt of India.
One is by shooting with rifle, but the
most satisfactory way of dealing with
them, besides being far the most sport
ing, is to bait good large hook with a
bird or small animal and fasten 1t by
chain to u good long rope, the end OF
which is firmly pieketed, the rope be-
ing coiled and the bait lain in shallow
water. There must be lots of slack
line, as the crocodile does not swallow
ANYTHING at once, but seizes 1t and
takes 1t into deep water to gorge. A
number of lines may be laid and looked
UP in the morning or cool of the even
ing.
When hooked 1t will take good
many men to haul a crocodile out, and
as he resents the operation and can use
his tail as well as his jaws, one or two
sportsmen will find considerable enter
tainment In dispatching him with
spears.
Some crocodiles grow to enormous
size, and their maws always contain
round white stones and often trinketsr
the relics Of inside passengers. The
writer assisted at the death OF hot
extraordinarily large 'snubnose" which
had six women's rings in her.

Two That Are Really Attractive and Very

Attractive trellises add much to the
pleasure of growing plants and vines.
The ordinary wooden affairs that are
commonly seen are usually heavy in
appearance, and not particularly at
tractive in design. The illustrations
show couple made largely of wire,
that are neat in shape and easily con-
structed.
One has central support of wood
II inches square, with cross-pieces at
the top, and at the surface of the
ground if desired. From the extremi-
ties of these cross-pieces four wires
are stretched from top to bottom, and
around these wires is wound, in spiral
form, strip of 6-inch wire netting,
such as is used for yarding poultry.
Small pieces of wire tie it firmly to the
upright wires The central support Of
wood should extend down into the
ground IS or 20 inches.
The only explanation needed in re-
gard to the other treuis Is that the

PRACTICAL EVIDENCE.
why the Good Roads Movement shoul
Be Popular In the South.

why the Good Roads Movement Should
BE Popular In the South.
The southern road congress, which
met lately in Atlanta, brought out the
fact of the value of good roads, and
the pecuniary advantage of them was
fully recognized. Among the cases
cited was the experiment made In
building good roads by the people OF
Union and Essex counties, N. j. The
pecuniary benefits resulting from this
work are summed up In report from
the board of freeholders of the former
county, which states that the tota.
outlay has been nearly S350,O0O, and
there are now nearly forty miles OF
telford and maoadam road in the
country.
The beneficial effect of the roads Ia
seen in the fact that property in Union
county alone has appreciated in value
far more than the cost of the roads, as
the assessment shows. The county is.
sued $3.50, 900 worth of road bonds, the
interest on which must be met annual
ly, yet there has been no increase In
the county tax rate, because the In
creased assessment easily produces
enough revenue TO meet this charge.
Very few of these roads have been
built more than year and most OF
them only few months, but already
the people appreciate the advantages
flowing from them.
Such practical evidence as this Will
certainly encourage roadbuilding In
the south. The movement SO far has
made little practical advance here and
has been confined mainly to conven.
tions, ETC., but this is a step In the
right direction. 1t is true that con-,
ventions In themselves do not accom-
plish much in the way of roadbutlding,i
but they show how the work can best
be done; they arouse the interest OF
the people in the matter; they prove
the value Of good highways, and they
will, in the course of time, arouse
the south to the necessity OF building
them.-N. O. Times-Democrat

HIS HEARING WAS RESTORED.

But After Being Cured He Couldn't Even
Bear the Ticking OF n Watch.
A well-known physician recently told
the following story to an Indianapolis
Sentinel reporter:
"a prominent Marion county farmer
discovered that he was gradually get
ting deaf. He couldn't hear the hired
man blast stumps with giant powder.
He came to my Office and made signs
that he wanted his ears examined. l
examined them. and In an instant, al
most, found that his defective hearing
was caused by the gathering of waxy
substance in the ears. When | re-
moved that obstruction Of the hearing
l was surprised at the re suit. The old
gentleman jumped from the chair
where he had been seated and put both
hands to his ears He couldn't stand
the noise from the street and the least
sound startled him. He was one OF the
most pleased men / ever saw. He went
away and 1t was several weeks before
saw him again. He called at the office
with his wife and she did all the talk
ing. She hardly raised her voice above

looked at her husband in timid way.
She said that for several days he would
not allow the least bit of noise In the
house, and that he butchered some
pigs before their time because OF being
affected by their squeal. His daughter
and her husband had lived with them
for two years and they had to leave on
account Of the crying of their six
months-old baby. There were two
clocks in the house, one In the dining
room and one in the bedroom. These he
stopped on account of the ticking The
clock in the bedroom was an alarm
clock. 1t went off one night. He
jumped from bed and nearly broke his
neck by falling head first on the floor.
The woman sail that she had to keep
the house as quiet as a country grave
ward for more than two weeks. for 1t
was that long before her husband be-
came accustomed to hearing. His
daughter, however, has gone back to
the farm with her baby, and the clocks
have been started again"
