PARCELs-POsT Baskets.

New foundland Has Them and They
Would be Uselui in Postal Service.
A New York dispatch says: The
fishermen OF st. Johns, Newfoundland,
surprised the people in the New York
pOstofice a day or two ago by sending
them a brand-new idea. 1t was in the
form OF q parcels.post basket. The
parcels-pOst service in this country Is
very little developed as compared With
that branch Of the postal service Of
Great Britain, and the little mail mat
ter OF that class which the American
postoflice handles is sent out 10 ordina-
~ canvas mail pouches. OF course the
mail matter gets little protection in
such packages, and If milliner hap
pens 10 send 4 new bonnet TO client
at the same time foundryman sends
set of cog wheels and the two lots get
mixed In transit, il is bad for one Of
them.
The Newfoundland parcels-post bas-
ket would make 10 possible to ship arti-
cles Of incongruoust natures together,
were used in the packing. The new
basket is Of willow, and Is about four
feet long by TWO feet wide, and eighteen
inches deep. To give ii strength, both
the top and bottom are wound with
iuch-wlds strips OF raw hide. The
cover sits within the upper run and is
strongly hinged upon one side. The
arrangement for fastening and sealing
the cover is novel and clever. Iron
brackets are secured across the two
front corners OF the basket just
under the cover, and short
rod crosses from these to the
rim. A steel rod runs along
the under side Of the cover and Is Sc
cured to it. This rod has a hook on
each end, and at the center plate with
two holes in il serves 10 turn the rod so
as to fasten the hooks under the short
rods at the corners. In doing this the
center plate turns down into a recess In
a wide bar OF wood that crosses the CEN
ter OF the cover from back 10 trent.
This has holes In it spending to
those in the plate, and the is secured in
its place after it is pressed down by
cord which is passed through these holes
and tied. The knot is then sealed.
This seal is protected by the depth Of
the recess the plate lies In.
Another new feature Of the basket is
a supplementary cover that fits the In
side. After the contents Of the basket
have been packed in, this cover Is
pressed down upon them and secured
with leather straps and buckles. II we'll
packed, nothing can move in the bas-
ket, NJ matter how 1t is banged around.
Such baskets would be valuable for
other purposes. They would make ad-
mirable packages for the use Of express
companies, and would be just the thing
for regular suburban shoppers TO ship
their nurChASes.

up, and throwing her arms around his
neck, imprinted kiss on his cheek, He
tried to draw himself away, but the
woman held him fast aud kissed him
again and again despite his struggles.
He looked around for his friends, but
they had fed. Finally the woman re-
leased him. and the man ran off as fast
as his legs would carry him.
The woman's appetite for kisses evil
IDENTITY grew with what it had fed upon.
and she headed the crowd that gathered,
catching every man within distance. In
the three blocks that she travelled she
caught no less than a dozen men, and
Rugged and kissed them all. When she
reached the ferry at the foot OF the
street she encountered a policeman,
whom she asked to direct her to car.
Saying to those near her, 81 guess I'll
go home" she set out to board a car,
but the conductor, seeing that she was
followed by the crowd, refused TO take
her on. "All right, dear" she said,
''there are some Others" and got down
from the step.
At this juncture a boat arrived at one
OF the slips, and passengers from 1t be-
gan TO pour into the street. This was
the woman's opportunity, and she did
not hesitate to take advantage OF 1t. IN
consequence any number of men were
forced TO submit to hugs and Kisses,
while the women passengers looked on
with mingled horror and amusement.
Finally, when there were no more
victims in sight, the woman boarded
car 10 which a number OF men had
taken refuge from her. Her appear
ance at the rear door was the signal
for precipitate rush to the front door,
and in q second every man was on the
front platform with the door securely
shut The woman thereupon left the
car, and walked outside to the front
platform. The men did not run this
time, however. for policemen
had boarded the front platform and
they evidently felt secure. The police
man told the woman that II she did not
go home aud stop annoying people he
would arrest her. The woman laughed
good-naturedly, and told him that if he
would come down from the platform
she would give him the sweetest kiss
he ever had. The crowd In the mean
time had dispersed, and the woman
boarded the next car, evidently tired
out, If not satiated, with kissing.

A Spiders Appetite.

Observing the voracity OF spiders, Sir
John Lubbock concluded to determine
the quantity Of food which one OF these
creatures consumed. He caught large
one and, weighing it carefully, supplied
1t with insects, the weight of which
had heen accurately determined. He
carried the eAy~-iS,,s-t ~L-~i--L II
'--1.~--- g time, and here Is MS
summing up OF the extraordinary re-
suits: At "a similar rate OF consump tion,
a man weighing 100 pounds would re-
ouire a whole fat steer for breakfast, a
steer and five sheep for dinner, and for
supper two bullocks, eight sheep and
four hogs. This would hardly suffice
for the twenty-iour hours; so just be-
fore retiring, he would call for and con-
sumo nearly four barrels Of fresh fish,

Lost the Beer and tho GoO,e.

A Montana hunting party. among
whom we're Justice w. Ii. Dewitt, Of
the Supreme Court, and Percy Kenneth,
returned home recently from trip to
the vicinity OF Cascade. While there
Judge Dewitt shot and slightly wound
ed a goose. Having captured the bird,
and not wishing to fnish it just then,
Judge Dewitt anchored the goose TO
the only bottle OF beer there was in the
party. He tied the bottle 10 the goose's
leg. The party then proceeded down the
river. They had not gone far before
they heard a whir-r-r, and, looking up,
saw the supposed disabled goose sailing
through the air with the beer bottle
hanging TO It's leg. Judge Dewitt didn't
want the beer, but be did want the
goose. The others wanted the beer
worse than they did the goose. The
Judge, however, thought he would bring
down the bottle By killing the goose. So
he took a shot. Instead Of killing the
bird be hit the bottle and shattered IL,
and the goose went of with the frag-
ments hanging to its leg. So the Judge
lost the goose and the others OF the
party lost their beer.

A Parrots Fondnss for the Violin.

About nine years ago sea captain
brought from Honduras a gorgeously
plumaged poll parrot, which he pre-
sented to Charles Drew, an old resident
OF New Orleans.
Mr.. Drew has since moved to Coving-
ton, La, where, according to Chicago
paper, he is known by everybody as
"Uncle Charley" The parrot is very
much attached TO her master, who,
however, has but one sure method OF
inducing her to come TO him.
Polly spends most Of her time out in
the garden, and when Mr.. Drew wants
her to come in he plays a few notes on
the violin. Before he has continued
very long Polly makes her appearance
and gravelY takes her place close to the
players chin.
No matter what music Mr. Drew
plays the parrot will sit there content
edly until she has finished, when she
will peremptOrily demand a lump OF
sugar.
The parrot always sleeps on the violin
case, and just before closing her eyes
usually sings "Peek.a-bOo"

WHEELING DAILY REGISTER WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER. 1884,

here-understand?- the door
| locked. Hurry up, now"
THANK God, ;" said one OF the elderly
men, and be mesntit. The others drew
longs breaths and Ventured TO smile as
they crowded the dollars upon Ben aud
told him he was a dandy" and that be
must be sure TO fix Il, no matter what il
cost ''Now scatter" said Ben. ''I' m
70 meet this fellow in few minutes
and he doesn't want any one else
around"
With the boyish glee and foolish
chuckles OF men who have escaped great
dapEer and are half unbalanced by their
sudden good fortune, they darted
through the hall and down side stair
way.
An hour later one OF those who had
mirsculOusly escaped strollsd into the
cafe, and saw Ben and the agent OF
the Civic federation sitting opposite
each sther at table laden with dishes
and bottles.
Ben was In a good humor.
"How'S this ror an S1l lsyout?" said
he. "By the way, l want TO present
my particular friend, Mr.. Conway. He
happened 10 be 10 the city to-day, aud
we're taking dinner togenher. | don't
know whether he's paying for it or
whether am, 1 only know that we've
got S11 between US"
"Do you mean to say"
"Whv, certainly. You fellows are
easy. 1t serves you right to think that
my room would be pulled as gambling
house"
That's low-down trick"
Eyes, and It's pretty low down to
bride an officer OF the law. Why, l
could have touched you up for $50
apiece. All we wanted was q little
rake-off for a dinner. Tell the boys
TIL give them a rebate Of cigar
apiece"
OF course the story spread, and at
first the victims were mad, then philo-
sophical, and finally good natured. One
OF them talked in threatening way
about the law against "impersonatinR
an officer" but that course OF retalia-
ton promised nothing, for MIR. Conway
had disappeared as suddenly as he had
appeared, aud there was the ugly fact
of bribery that simply couldn't be ex-
planned away.
A bruiSing sort of joke, may be, but
10 has caused great merriment among
those who know the men who sat hud-
died together in fear and doubt while
Ben and his gifted friend slipped an ap-
petizing beverage so as to be ready for
the dinner.
