A CHICKENS STRANGE FEAT.
The Fowl Called Out City Fire De-
partment.

The Fowl Called Out a City Fire De-
Partment.
An obstreperous chicken succeeded
in calling out our fire department not
long since, said a citizen of Savannah
Ga. 1t was male bird of the game
persuasion, and had acquired the very
bad habit of flying away from home
and mounting to an extraordinary
height for a domesticated bird. On one
occasion, when chased by some boys,
it got badly scared, and, flying up rap
idly, struck some wires and got tangled
up in them hopelessly. BY some means
or other it shook or disarranged wire
which notified the Department. of a fire.
and every effort was made to get
promptly to the scene of the supposed
outbreak. No fire being discovered, it
was evident a false alarm had been
turned in, but the continued struggle
of the rooster sent in further alarms
and caused general decentralization of
the electric service. When the cause
of the disturbance was finally located
the bird was nearly dead, and its hand
some appearance had entirely vanished
This is, 1 believe, the first case on rec
ord of chicken upsetting electric
service in this way, but the bird, al
though quite small one, succeeded in
doing the work quite effectively.

THE PERTLs OF COURTESY.'
A Benevolent Traveller Makes a slight
Mistake and Is Assaulted.

A Benevolent Traveller Makes a Slight
Mistake and Is Assaulted.
An old gentleman got on Wiscon-
sin Central train at Rockefeller and
took a seat beside man with a face as
kindly as picture of Peter Cooper.
These two men were strangers to each
other, but strong relationship lay be-
tween them-the affinity of honesty
and good humor. They talked of the
recent rains, and were sorry that tfey
had not fallen soon enough to save the
corn crop; still they were willing to
leave the crops and the whole scheme
of life to Providence. They talked
about politics, religion and then told
stories and laughed until tears ran
down their checks.
By this time, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, the train had reached Des-
PLANES, and the man from Rockefeller
got off. And when the train started
the other old fellow discovered that a
valise had been left on the seat just in
front of him. He sprang to his feet,
threw up the window, thrust his head
out, shouted at his friend and then,
grabbing the valise, dropped it from
the window. And about two minutes
later big fellow came along and said:
81 am looking for valisc 1 left
here"
The benevolent man, in futter of
excitement, jumped up and began to
stammer: ''I-I-threw it off the train
i"
''You did!" roared the big fellow, and,
not waiting for explanation, hauled
off and struck at the old gentleman
and skinned his knucl1les against the
window.
The conductor ran forward and
grabbed the big fellow and held him
until the l1ind-hearted man explained
the mishap.
In this hurried life there is such a
thing as being too obliging.

FUN FOR YOUNG JAPs.

How the Youngsters EnsDare Dragon
Flies for Kites.
One of the greatest amusements for
the children of japan is catching the
dragon fly said DIR. w. z. Taylor, of
Boston, who, according to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, has spent several
years in Japan. Japan is a land of
children, and thousands of them liter
ally put in several weeks every autumn
in capturing dragon flies and tying
kites to them for the fun of seeing
them fly. Soon after the turn of the
sun in the afternoon hundreds and
thousands of huge dragon flies busy
themselves flying here and there over
the rice fields and gardens, catching
insects and gnats. The japanese boys
carefully saturate the end of a bamboo
with tar and start out for the fun
They must hold the bamboo up to at
tract the unsuspecting dragons to take
rest. In a moment the boy gives the
bamboo twist, and puts the tar end
into so manv motions that it is impos-
sible for the creature to avoid it. The
boys are SO expert at the business
that | have seen them chase fly that
had gotten much ahead of them, and
succeed in sticking the dragon fly to
the reed. When once on the tar end
of the pole there is a miserable future
for the captives. They are tied to-
gether and carried around in the chase
Then a string is tied to each one, and
a small piece of paper, serving as a
kite, which the poor flies are required
to sail. They fly away, but of course
soon get caught in a tree or bush and
die of starvation

The Syracuse Post tells this story of
an old colored man in that city who
works in a stone quarry in that vicin-

in progress he lost one of his eyes. Be
fore he was examined by the doctors at
the time he said he wanted TO pray be-
fore any operation was performed upon
him. ''Well, hurry up he was told.
Andsso he began to pray in his strict
Methodist way for the kind Lord to
save him his eyes, and if he couldn't
save them both to save at least one of
them. Then he prayed for one eye; he
wanted only one eye; so long as he
could see, that would be enough.
Finally the operation was thing of
the past and one eye was saved Not
long after some one saw him on the
street with a patch over one eye He
was growing and grumbling. Whats

Eneet of Two Big Guns.

During the recent naval maneuvers
two ten-inch guns were fired simultane-
ously on one of the vessels with startling
effect. The glass that protects the
helmsman and the windows of the chart
house, of which the glass is one-third
of an inch thick, were smashed to
atoms. An inlstand, bottles and tum-
blers jumped six inches into the air
and spilled their contents, but came
down whole, and men near the turret
were lifted off their feet by the con-
cusSiOn.

TO STOP THE PROGREsS

TO STOP THE PROGRESS
of Consumption, you will find but
one guaranteed remedy : Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
In advanced cases, it brings comfort
and relief; if you haven't delayed
too long, it will certainly cure. 1t
doesn't claim too much. 1t won't
make new lungs-nothing can; but
it will make diseased ones sound
and healthy, when everything else
has failed.
The scrofulous affection of the
lungs that's caused Consumption,
like every other form of Scrofula,
and every blood-taint and disorder,
yields to the discovery" It is
the most effective blood cleanser,
strength -restorer, and flesh builder
known to medical science. In all
Bronchial, Throat and Lung Affec-
tions, if it ever fails to benefit or
cure, you have your money back.

Scented tea is great favorite with
the Chinese. This is made by mixing
jessamine or orange blossoms with
the tea for twenty-four hours, after
which it is sifted and separated, and
then packed. The stranger in China
finds it almost impossible to buy the
best tea. So little of the best quality
or first picking is obtained that the
Chinese keep it for themselves. It is

HELD Ur AND ROBBED.
w. J. Husbands Is stopped by Three Men
And Robbed of s1s5 In Cash.

WI. Husbands. young and prosper.
GUS farmer. living at Johnson's Corner
near the state line. and about seven miles
from this city on the Concord Pike, was
held up by three men supposed to be
tramDs on Tuesday night at 7.80 o'clock
rlod in his wallet. Mr.. Husbands had
s50l7 In his trouser pockets. but this
amount the bold highwaymen missed In
their eagerness to escape.
Mr.. Husbands had been In the nelghbor.
Ing villages collecting bills for threshlng
which he had done during the summer.
In all he had collected e24l.17, Si85 of
which he placed In his wallet aud the re-.
maing S5B.l7 In his trouser pockets. He
was riding In dog cart and while driving
along the road within 800 yards OF his
home his horse was stopped by q man
VINO was quickly Joined by two others
who appeared from O clump OF bushes
which grew along the road.
While the firet man held the horse the
other two pulled the occupant Of the
vehicle from his seat. and after throwing
the blanket over his head carried him into
the bushes. Once there they were out of
sight OF public view, and as they had Mr..
Husbands In such position that he
could make no outcry they accomplished
their work without any trouble.
After securing the wallet and another
blanket the three men took several straps
from the harness OF the horse, and with
several ropes completely bound Mr.. Hus-
bands In the blankets and left him In the
bushes. The garroters then beat hasty
retreat In the direction from which their
victim had come. After struggling for
an hour and half Mr.. Husbands freed
himself and made his way home. Soon
The farmers Of the neighborhood were
searching the surrounding neighborhood
but no suspicious parties were found.
The general supposition Is that some
one living In the vicinity knew MIR. Hus-
bands errand and had the robbery plann-
ed. Another theory Is that some trainps
may have reen him handling tho money
at one Of the farm. houses he visited.
Detectives McVey and Witsll are working
on the case.
