ANIMALS LOVE THE WEED.
4 Mare and Colt That Will Chew AL tn,

- mare 8nO Colt Inot Will CneW All the
Tobacco They Can Get.
The claim set forth from time i'm

even the hog felt above it, seems des.
tined to receive a serious setback. Eu.
gene Russell. a farmer living on the
Post Bay road near Lake Ontario, il
the owner Of mare and colt that are
extremely fond Of tobacco. The mare
formed the habit long before the birth
OF the colt, and in the case Of the young
ster the appetite seems to have been in
herited. Three years ago Mr.. Russell
decided that he would cure the mare
OF her habit, and to do SO he gave he,
two pounds of fine cut which she de
voured with relish. This not fazine
her a bit he tried leaf tobacco, Of which
he is producer in a small way. After
slowing away a quantity Of this she
showed symptoms of distress. She
was dizzy, and wanted to lie down ant
think over her sins, about as small
boy might have wanted to do unde,
similar circumstances. This settled
her. as far as the plain leaf was con
cerned. She has never tasted it since
though fine cut touches the spot thu
same as ever it did.
This was not long previous to thu
birth of the colt, and the little fellow
exhibited almost from the first the
"hankering" for a chew. 1t was be
slowed while he was yet at nurse, ant
from that day to this both animals will

not affected by the mothers aversion
to natural leaf but loves that even bet

Mr.. Russell says he thinks the use O.
tobacco has kept them from having in

A FIERCE BATTLE WITH GEESE.
Peculiar Experience of Tioga Mush-
room Hunter.

room Hunter.
An interesting and rather peculiar
battle. says the Philadelphia Times,
was witnessed the other morning by a
number of persons who were driving
along the old summer road, in the
Twenty-eighth ward. In field lying
on the north side of the old thorough
fare and east of Harris Bellevue truck
farm an aged German was gathering
mushrooms. and while peering about
the pasture for the toothsome fungi, in
STOPPING attitude. a flock of ''Gander
hill' geese struttcd under post and
rail fence from neighboring pond and
marched with their neclls extended at
full length toward the stranger, who at
first paid no attention to their kissing,
but continued. every now and again to
reach down and pick a mushroom.
He soon learned to his sorrow that
the geese We're considerably above the
average flock for bold persistcncy and
determined fight. One old gander acted
as leader, and, after .marshaling his
forces into position, led on to the fight
by boldly attacking the intruder and
striking him n stunning blow on the
nose. Before he could recover from the
effect two of the geese, one from eacl.
side, flew at his face. each taking hold
OF an ear and holding on with bulldog
tenacity, while they battered his head
and face with their clipped wings.
The sharp points of the cut feather
stems brought the blood from his cheeks
and forehead at every flap. He jumped
and pranced around like mad, wildly
gesticulating and muttering cries and
curses in German.
Two others Of his feathery assailants
flew upon his back and began pecking
him on the head and neck, while the
Others took hold upon the legs of his
trousers and his coat tails and rugged
till they fairly dragged him to a
swampy part Of the field, where one of
poor fellows feet sank in the slippery
mud and he fell backward in the slime.
man in one of the passing wagons
hurried to his assistance. armed with q
bean pole snatched from the truck gar
dens. He arrived just in time to pre-
vent the enraged geese from killing
their victim.
Even the blows from the tough cedar
bean pole for time had no effect on the
geese, and it was not until five of them,
with their necks broken, Ilay culver.
ing on the grass that the poor old Ger
man, his face covered with blood and
his clothing with mud, could be deliv-
cred.
He was led out to the old Summer
road. placed in the wagon, and kindly
driven to his home in Tioga. The only
reason that can be given for the unu-
sual behavior Of the geese is that a rag
picker who resembled the German in
appearance about week ago carried
away several goslings that belonged to
one of the geese.

1t was in Munich that he met his wife,
q beautiful and clever woman. As the
old duke married few years ago for
his third wife woman without title,
he had little reason to oppose the wise
choice of his second son.

EARLESS EZEKIEL EApS.

4 Freak OF Nature. Born Earless - HI
,, Hair Was PiebaId.
Ezekiel Eads, who died in Green,
county, N. Y, in the spring of 1885, wa,
surely fit subject for dime museum
even though he never descended to tina
level, says the Wheeling wv. Val Reg
ister. Strictly speaking, Eads was il
several respects q most remarkable
creature. He was born without cars
not even having apertures where ths
ears should have been. His deformity
sad as it was, may be said to have beer
partly alleviated by the curious con
struction Of the inner portion of hi
head, which enabled him to hear com
mon conversation through his mouth.
When addressed he would instantly
open his mouth and readily give an
swers to interrogations put to him il
an ordinary tone Of voice. But Ezekiel,
lack OF ears was not his only distinction
He had heavy crop of black hab
spotted with white, the spots them
selves being in exact shape of human
ears, feet, hands, etc. When he wa:
quite small boy it was noticed tina
his black hair was interspersed will
oddly shaped spots of white, which
however, did not take on their dis
tinctive shapes until he had passed hi
fifteenth year.
When Mr.. Eads' died he left one son
aged fOrty-fve, whose hair was as blacl
as coal, not single gray hair being dis
cernible, and another son, thirteeI
years of age, whose hair was as grays
that of man of seventy.
Wealth Out OF Poor Farm.
There is man in Alabama who, &C.
cording to the New Orleans States,
takes life very easy for the simple rea-
son that his farm extends up and down
the Louisville & Nashville railroad for
a distance of fifty or sixty miles. A
great many persons will be disposed to
doubt this statement. but nevertheless
it is the truth. A short time ago the
old Alabama countryman was q victim
OF impecuniosity because his farm was
SO poor that the cats would not stay on
it, but one day the engineers Of the
road came along and discovered that
his farm was nothing more than . vast
deposit Of gravel, the very material
they desired to use as ballast for the
bed Of the road. They endeavored to
buy the farm outright, but the old
stubbornly refusing to
sell the only home he had on earth it
was finally arranged to pay him q roy
atty on every car load of gravel taken
from his land. The royalty has made
him rich, and as the supply Of gravel
is practically inexhaustible he will
soon be able to boast that his farm is
the largest in the world and extends
all the way from New Orleans to Louis
Vile. -. 1870

KEEPING A PRIVATE NOTE BOOK.

Employee of Civil Engineers Are Not
Allowed This Privilege.
HE was the best surveyor and
draughtsman in my employ" said .
well-known civil engineer of this city
a few days ago. referring to a man
whom he had just discharged. II dis
covered a short time ago that he was
keeping private note book, and, after
notifying him that he must stop it,
and again learning that he was con-
tinuing the practice, was obliged to
discharge him"
l asked the gentleman to explain
what he meant by keeping . private
note book" ~
I "a surveyor" said he, Sin doing .
piece OF work makes minutes as he goes
along OF the lines he runs, of the vari-
GUS points marking the bounds of the
lands he is surveying, and all such
data as is not only necessary for the
drawing of his plans, but also incident
ally that which may aid him in the
case Of any other survey being made
later on.
This data, you see, really consti.
tutes a sort of capital or stock in trade,
for if the party owning the land ever
wishes another survey of it for any
purpose he will naturally apply to that
same surveyor, who. having these old
memoranda, can do the work easier
and more cheaply than any other sur
veyor. Oftentimes. after many years
have elapsed and old landmarks have
passed away, those minutes become
very valuable.
consequently civil engineer al
ways wishes to keep these in his own
hands, and men in his employ are not
allowed to make copies Of minutes of
surveys which they make while in his
employ. Otherwise, an old employee,
in leaving and setting up in business
for himself. could carry away large
slice of his employers business.
This is the reason why have dis
charged my best employee upon finding
that he was persisting in the practice"
