A rather formidable compe titor of

seen in the streets OF birmingham,
and. judgiug from the admiration il
cxcites. is not unlikely 10 find its way
soon into all parts of the country.
The invention, which was patented u
short time ago by q Scotch firm, il evil
dcntIy derived from the old roller
skate Of ai.ati55 rink celebrity, but,
whereas the ordinary roller skate has
four wheels. tie pneumatic skate has
csSly two placed in licc n. either cz-
tromity ot The skate. The wheels arc
rather larrcr than those of the roller
skate. and ins. cad OF solid rubber are
covered With pneumatic tires The
patcntcc3 claim for them that one can
skate over ordinary turnpike roads
with them the namc a9 on ice a1d Mt
even greater speed, while at the same
time they win easily rsecnd and de-
sccnd hills. Six or ccrcn milc3 an
hour. howovcr, is the raa@imum speed
attempted II the streets of nirming-
ham, and that only o, GIaooth roads.
One Obvious advantage OF the pDcu-
matte skate over Tie pneumatic cycle
is that puncturol tires may be readily
replaced. AZ The skater may carry sur

fitted, in his ovcrcoat pocket.

With the coming cf the equinoctial

which are vouched for by his nearest
ncighbor, "Squar" Reach. He says that
the 14th of last June, shortly after sun

Jones' brook by the old-fnshioned
method of tickling them under the
belly. he saw a mammoth water snake

perfectly quiet for several minutes,
when the toad began TO twitch, and
Shiny substance oozed from its skin.
The commissions passed over in few
minutes. when the snake slowly wrig-
gled up to its prey and in the course
of half an hour had completely syval-

of .'Squarn Reach, killed the snake
and released the toad. which was none
the worse for its cntombmcnt.
Along about the latter part of Aug

throat by its horns. which penetrated
the skin on both sides and were plain

But the most remarkable snake that

BIG MAILS FROM THE WEST.

Mcmbers or Congress from Beyond tho
Mississippi Get tho Most Letters.
IT is interesting TO note the striking
differences in amount and dcgrcc that
characterize the correspondence OF
representatives from different sections
of the country. says the Washington
Star The mail of representatives
from the New England and south At
lantic states Is comparatively light,
that of representatives from the mid
die states is moderate, or from fair
to middling," and that of the west
ern, northwestern and southwestern
states is exceedingly heavy In other
words, it seems that the people of
older states, particularly of the thir-
teen original states, which had their
existence before the union was estab-
lishcd, lean but lightly upon the fed
cral government and have but few
wants to express in correspondence
to their representatives at Washing
ton, while rcsidents OF the newer
states, whose state governments were
erected simultaneously with their ad-
mission into the union, arc apt to look
to Washington for nearly everything
they want. In the old states along
oiic hLlhhJlc bcIDohTu INC people Dy
instinct and tradition rely upon them
selves and upon their state 1ovcrn-
ments, while in the latter admitted
states, especially those beyond Illinois
to the north, south and west, as for
example Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and
Missouri, the people appear by Gus
tom to be more pendent upon the gem
eral government. Particularly Is this
the case in the states where conditions
of unrest and dissatisfaction prevail
from industrial or financial causes.
There the people have become habit
ually clamorous in thciY demands upon
congressman toprocurc them p cns!ons,
sustenance and situations. to remedy
and redress their wrongs, real or inn
agined, to Tighten their burtlens. to
mitigate their woes and to do other
things by legislation and Influence ut

by the esertion Of individual effort
and independence. Again, on the

Among the curiosities of taste, the
Partisan passion for self-exhibition ut
the morgue must hold a conspicuous
place. The principal keeper at the
morgue is said to have had many ap-
plications from persons eager to figure
as corpses on the slabs of the dead
house. They were deferred by the
official announcement that the temper
ature of the bodies was kept some de-
grees below zero. If this discomfort
could have been endured for twelve
hours, and if the authorities could
have been persuaded to lend them
selves to such fraud, what materials
for n coup in journalism would have
been afforded to some epterprising
genius!

Ten years ago when fruit trees were
first introduced into the valleys of the
Gunnison and Uncompahgre it was
somewhat of and open question whether
they would bring forth reward for the
labor. But it is no longer a question.
From the time the first trees came into
bearing there has never been crop
failure, and every year has brought forth
an abundant harvest Of the very choicest
fruits which have commanded the high
est prices on every market where they
have been introduced.
Thousands upon thousands OF trees and
vines are bearing every year producing
over 100000 pounds OF choice fruit an
nually and this is but a commencement.
As nearly as the number can be comput-
. ed by freight receipts, and the output OF
home nurseries Delta county fruit grow
ers in 1893 planted over 7O0,0O0fruit trees,
not counting the many small fruits plant
ed. The planting for 1894 promises to
exceed 100000 trees; one firm alone hav
ing contracted for 100000 trees. When
all these trees come to bearing the output
of fruit will be beyond the grasp OF
IMAGINATION.
There ia no fruit grown in the temper
ate zone which does not flourish in these
valleys. Among those in bearing are
apples. pears, peaches, grapes. ounces,
apricots, plums. nectarincs, goosebcrries,
currants. blackberrieu. raspberries, mul-
berries, strawberries. and all OF finest
flavor.
The natural resources which help the
fruit-grower are an abundance of sun
shine; plenty OF water; no insects; no
tornadoes; no hailstrms, and winters so
mild no trees are killed by cold weather.

THE TOILET OF BIRDS.


EardLnS Their ISath.
The feathercd tribes have many pc
culiar ways and fancies about the de-
tails of their toilets. Some birds use
water only, some water and dust, while
others prefer dust and no water. Birds
are not only exceedingly nice in their
choice of bath water, says New York
Home, but also very particular about
the quality of their toilet dust"
Wild ducks, though feeding by salt
water, prefer to bathe in fresh water
pools, and viii fly long distances in
land to running brooks and ponds,
where they preon and dress their
feathers in the early hours of the
morning. Sparrows bathe often, both
in water and in dust. They are not so
particular about the quality of the
water as about the quality of the dust.
They prefer clean water, but l have
seen them take n dip in shallow pools
that were quite muddy. The city spar
row must take water bath where he
can get it-in the street or on the tops
of houses-but he is most careful in
his choice of his dust bath. Road dust,
the drycst and finest possible, suits
lrim best. l have noticed the CITY
sparrow taking his dust bath in the
street and invariably he chooses n
place where the dust is like powder
Partridges prefer dry loan. They
like to scratch out the soil from under
the grass and fill their feathers with
cool earth. Most birds are fond of
burnt ashes. Some morning early take
walk across n field that has been
burnt over and see the number of
winged creatures that rise suddenly
from the ash heaps. A darting form,
n small cloud of ashes and the bathers
disappear

Under the parl, rules the soldiers were
prohibited from firing Mt the thievish
brute, as well as from jabbing bay

could do when the bear appeared and
went to helping himself to rations was
to get out of his way. Night after
night the bold beast made raid on
the camp and ruined u tent or two.
My informant said that the bear acted

MscIscrci Fishcr!cs in Kerry.
A Kerry CORES pondent Of United Ire
land writes: Dingle, on the extreme
western coast of Kerry is now the
center of very active operations in the
mackercl fishery industry. Large
takes OF macl.ercl have been taken Off
the coast, and the recent trade whic h
has sprung up in the curing of mack
crcl during the autumn season for the
American market has brought employ
ment and money to the doors of the
the Kerry peasant and shopkeeper.
Dinglc is, in fact, hive of industry at
the present moment, owing to the cur
ing and packing of maclscrel for the
American market. Every man, woman
and child is employed, and thousands
of cases arc dispatched weekly to Liv-
crpool and Glasgow for conveyance to
American ports. The mackercl are
found off the coast in great shoals, and
n fleet of boats is engaged in capturing
them, landing the fish in Dingle, where
they are cured and prepared.
