Ills Rainwater Stolen.

The larceny of rainwster in Arizona
has extenuating circumstances. This
observation has its origin in an Incl
dent of Churchill's addition.
Some time after midnight A. H.
Barber was aroused from sleep by a
noise outside his bedroom window.
Mr.. Barber was not concerned; he
could think Of nothing unlocked. the
stealing OF which would impoverish
him or enrich the thief, and he turned
sleepily in bed. Suddenly he thought
OF some ten gallons of rainwater
which had been laboriously diverted
from the roof and coaxed into a tub
and washboiler during Sundays rain.
He sprang from his bed, blamed
himself for his carelessness in leaving
the rainwater exposed and rushed out
into the darkness. The tub and boiler
were gone. Mr., Barber dashed into
the house, and in about a second re-
turned with revolver aud took a
shot at the wide world, breathing a
fervent prayer that avenging fate
would direct the bullet into the an
atomy OF the deporter of the rain.

through the village, old Burns was
left on the field ; but his age and pluck
secured for him the respect Of the
Confederates, who removed him TO his
home, where, four months afterward.
in November, 1868, when Abraham
Lincoln visited Gettysburg, he was
still on crutches. President Lincoln's s
open attention to old Burns secured
for him the respect of his neighbors
and OF all patriotic citizens.
That is the story of old John Burns
as told by one Of his neighbors who
knew him well, and although it may
divest the patriotic story of q certain
halo of sentiment, il does not thereby
detract ut all from the personal cour-
age and heroism of the old citizen
who, in defending his own property,
occupied relatively the same position
as the United States Government in
resisting force by force and fighting
for its property. John Burns was n
type of the farmers of Massachusetts,
who lined the fences along the road Of
the retreating British soldiers who hal
marched TO Lexington to disperse the
American rebels. The whole world
worships courage, and old John Burns
will ever remain inscparably asso-
ciated with the heroism so grandly IL
lustrated at Gettysburg, not alone Of
Northern or Southern, but os Amer
can yalor.

the hearts Of his patriotic countrymen
as an example of unseltish patriotism.
Such was my own belief up to the
period of my visit to Gettysburg.
After tour of the battlefelds / met
the guide who had pointed out the
Burns cottage, and asked him to sat
isfy my curiosity concerning the old
hero by giving me some particulars
about his life. The guide was native
of Gettysburg, and was in the army
during all the battles, within sight of
his own home yet unable to visit his
wife or learn whether his house had
escaped destruction, even after the
evacuation OF the village, as the army
was at once ordered forward in pur-
suit of Lees retreating forces
"Yes. knew John Burns we'll, "
replied the guide. He was at one
time town constable, and later made
himself quite unpopular with the VII
layers by his activity in catching and
straugling stay dogs, although he
did no more than his duty under the
law.
iio"CNNi, NOhtiAutu VIC
"the pluck he showed when Gettys-
burg was attacked changed every
body's opinion in the village, aud
changed his own circumstances from
poversy to comparative affiuence, as
every visitor to the Gettysburg battle
fields wanted to see old John Burns, and
none left without giving him substan-
tial tokens, in the shape of green
backs, of their patriotic regard"
"Will you tell me-" asked, show
it happened that an old man of seven.
ty'two years of age was the only citi.
zen of Gettysburg who had the cour-
age to take up arms in its defense, for,
as you know, civilian caught with
arms IN his hands virtually fights with
a halter around his neck?"
"Well, suppose it happened about
this way, replied the guide. "The
old man was, as | said, very poor but
he owned COW which he grazed in
the open fields on the outskirts of the
village. When the booming of the
guns announced the approach of tn,

Tanning Sheep and Wolf Skins.

If the skins are dry and hard, soak
them in soft water, with a little salt
added, for about twelve hours, or until
softened then take out and scrape off
all the loose pieces of flesh and make
the surface as smooth as possible; then
stretch out in all directions and tack
them to boards, with the hair or wool
side down. Now make paste of equal
parts of salt and alum, dissolved in
water, adding just enough coarse -four
to make it about the consistency of
thick cream. Spread this over the
flesh side of the skins to the depth of
half an inch, In three or four days
scrspe off and add another coat OF the
paste, and leave it on until dry; then
carefully scrape off and remoys the
skins from the boards, and work them
with the hands until soft and pliable.
To the wolf skin you may apply any
coloring desired, such as yellow ochre,
or for a drab color use blue clay with
soft soap, and for q dark brown color
apply strong oak-bark tea and log
wood, and then wet with alum water
to set the color. To color the wool of
the sheepskin, use aniline colors, to
be obtained ut the drug stores, with
directions for use accompanying each
packaQe. New York Sun.

Hunting the Hippopotamus.

"Hippo- shooting, compared with
other sport, is poor, said Mr.. Jack.
son, an African hunter. ''ln the first
place, it depends more on accuracy of
aim and proficiency in quick shooting
than on stalking. To crawl up to the
edge of high bank, probably several
feet above the surface of the water, in
which a school of these huge beasts is
lying basking in the sun on the shall
lows, requires little skill provided the
wind is fair. Neither is a steady pot

out of the water and possibly asleep,
or floating quite motionless on the top
of the water, a great test of prowess in
shooting, When once scared, how.

hippos then become very cunning and
take great deal of circumventing, and
