charge of powder down the right-hand
barrel, and, tearing off piece of my
shirt, took all the money from my
pouch, three shillings in six penny
pieces and two anna pieces.
Quickly making them into roll
with the piece of rag, rammed
them down the barrel. They were
hardly we'll home before the bull
sprang forward. l had no time even
to replace the ramrod, and threw it
into the water, bringing my gun on full
cock at the same instant.
81 now had charge in the gun
which, If reserved till he was within a
few feet of the muzzle, would certain
ly floor him. The horns were lowered,
their points were on either side of me,
and the muzZe of the gun barely
touched his forehead when pulled
the trigger and three shillings' worth
of small change ratified into his hard
head
Down he went and rolled over with
the suddenly checked momentum of his
charge. Away went b and ] as fast
as our heels would carry us, through
the water and over the plain, knowing
that he was not dead, but only stunned.
There was large fallen tree about
half a mile from us whose whitened
branches, rising high above the ground,
offered tempting asylum. To this we
directed our steps, and after run Of
100 yards we turned and looked be-
hind us. The buffalo had regained
his feet and was following us slowly.
We now experienced the difference Of
feeling between hunting and being
hunted.
by degrees the bulls pace slack
ened and he fell. We were only too
glad to be able to reduce our speed,
but we had no sooner stopped to
breathe than he was up again and
after us. At length, however, we
gained the tree and heheld him
stretched powerless upon the ground
within 200 yards of u.s.

In the early days of the gold excite
ment in California young German
from Michigan departed for California,
and, after prospecting for awhile,
settled there. His name was John G.
Almondinger, and wishing to Ameri-
canize himself as much as possible he
applied to the legislature of California
and had his name changed to John G.
Almond. A few days later man
named John Smith applied to the same
legislature, and after reciting long
catalogue of the ills to which he was
subject owing to his unfortunately
common name, he said in conclusion:
And whereas l have noticed that you
curtailed the name of j. G. Almonding-
er to j. g. Almond and have not dis
posed of the niger, which seems to
be lying around loose, l respectfully
request that the same may be added to
my name" The result of this appeal
is not stated.-Youth's Companion.

age one day when the cry went up that
there was mouse in the room. Every
lady in the room, except this one, fed,
screaming. She remained in her chair,
as pale as death, Hearing the uproar
the pastor, who was in his study, came
in to see what was the matter.
Its a m-m-mouse" the pale lady
gasped.
Indeed! And why didn't you run
with the rest? Aren't you afraid of

How to Wear Hat Properly.

ITO wear hat properly this winter
it must be set well back on the head, -
says a fashionable milliner. Ladies'
on this side of the water have not yet
adopted this style, but, like the hustle
it must inevitably come" The very
large hat will not be worn, neither
will the extremely small bonnet. The
shapes are of medium size, and except
those that are twisted in every direc-
ton will be turned up squarely either
in front or back, but the hat off the
face is most fashionable. Turbans will
be much worn. BY turban one does
not mean the stiff little affair of former
years. that fitted the head like gen.
tleman's smoking cap. These are ar
tistic little gems made of soft French
felt crushed into cute little cap shape
and trimmed high in front, and the
woman they wouldn't be becoming to
would have to be hopelessly ugly

Peter Made a Mistake.

The schoolmistress was showing off
her pupils to some visiting friends.
She had been over the same ground a
day or two before, and thought she
could trust them to do her credit.
"Who knows what useful article is
furnished to us by the elephant?" she
asked.
Ivory" was the prompt reply of
three boys at once.
Very good. And what do you get
from the whale?"
"Whalebone."

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
FATHER klNGFlSHER.


How He Builds His Nest and Provides for
His Family.
ct is getting towards spring" says
Father Kingfsher. thine to think of
another nest!"
Father Kingfsher is handsome fell
low. He is of dull blue back and breast
marked with black. His under parts
are white and he has black tail feath-
ers with curious white lines across
them. His pretty blue head is long
and adorned with a tuft of feathers.
His nest is not little affair, woven
of sticks and grasses, like the majority
of birds.
81 like to live near quiet mill pond"
says Father Kingfsher, land there I
dig a good tunnel, perhaps six or eight
feet long, in the side of the sandy bank.
At the end of this tunnel let Mother
Kingfsher arrange the nursery. l
bring her plenty of good, clean fish
bones to make the cradles for the lit
tie ones. They make the most COM
Portable beds in the world-for little
Kingfshers."
1t is on account of meals that Father
Kingfsher finds the sand bank good
place for home. He sits for hours on
dry limb or high post overlooking
the water. When his sharp eyes spy
fish swimming below him he darts
down and seldom misses striking his
prey. Then, with the fish in his beak,
he mounts again to his perch and beats
the fish against the tree or post until
its spine is broken.
Father Kingfsher does not look as
if he enjoyed his dinner. He swallows
it in great gulps, dislocating his neck
and jerking his body and wings during
the process. But he is a good pro-
wider, although it is to be hoped that
the little kingfshers do not tire of a
fish diet, for they get little else.
The kingfshers are large, noisy and
assertive birds. They dash across the
water, looking like long blue streak
in their swift fight. When they spy
the fish for which they have been
watching they dart down, plunging
into the water with a sudden dash.
The little kingfshers lie warm and
snug in their dry, sandy hole. No
doubt they think it far pleasanter
than the most daintily woven nest in
the top of the tallest tree!-N. Y.

Tnbby Lives on Vegetables.

There is cat in the seclusion of
Hampton Court, England, which has
become strict vegetarian, certainly
on principle, since there is plenty of
meat to be had. This eccentric erea-
ture, black from nose to tail, has taken
for her chief diet scarlet runner beans.
Cucumbers she also likes, and carrots,
if they are boiled, while she OCCASION
ally nibbles away at other vegetables.
But, for some inscrutable reason, this
singular cat will not touch fruit, and,
although she will drink milk, she re-
jects the bread that may be mixed with
it. Altogether, there is some talk Of
taking this queer animal to London to
have the philosophers talk over her.

Dishes and PIatters of Gold.

Queen Victoria's wonderful set Of
table furniture is kept in two fireproof
chambers and is said to represent a
cash value of twenty million pounds.
Among it is the golden table service
made for George ~, calculated for
one hundred and thirty guests and
containing the famous crystal cham
payne cooler, which is large enough
for bath tub There are many pieces
in it that formerly belonged to Queen
Elizabeth, besides splendid solid gold
vessels from India, Siam and. China.
The pride of the collection is teacup
once owned by Charles NIL, and a
gold peacock made for George Ill, at
cost OF forty thousand pounds --Chi-

hand is removed. The edges of the
handkerchief are to be firmly held
around the side of the glass, and when
the inversion is complete it will be
found that not drop of water has
been spilled and that by the pressure
of the outer air the handkerchief re-
tains it's concave form in the glass.
Now with the left hand slowly and
firmly draw up the handkerchief ends
so as to stretch it tightly over the
mouth of the tumbler, when, of course,
the water will follow it to the lowest
point, leaving vacuum above it.
This vacuum, being something al
ways abhorrent to nature, as we are
taught at school, must be filed at
once; hence the outer air will force
itself through the handkerchief and up
through the water in rapid success
sion of bubbles. So lively will this be
that the operator will clearly feel the
vibrations in his hand, the audience
will hear the bubbling as of boiling
water, and if the glass be long and the
handkerchief properly arranged, SO
that the glass is exposed to view be-
tween the four corners of the hand
kerchief, the violent disturbance may
plainly be seen, an exact counterpart
of the steam bubbles in boiling water.
If this trick be introduced by appro-
pirate remarks and with the panto-
mime of rapidly rubbing the hands
together to generate a high degree Of
animal heat, it is very effective. Of
course, it is well to practice a few
times over basin until proficiency is
attained.-St. Louis Republic.

VERY CLEVER TRICK.

How to Boil Water with the Heat of

A very clever trick whereby cold

from the heat of the hand is easily
managed by the boy magician.
Take tumbler and fill it three-quar-
ters full of water. Show your audience
that is ordinary cold water. or ice
water, if you choose. Cover this with

its center to fall to the surface of the

over the top of the tumbler and gently
invert it with the right hand. which

IN A BUFFALO'S HEAD.
A Hunter Kills a Bull with a Charge of
Small Change.

The buffalo of Ceylon carries his
head in peculiar manner-the horns
thrown back and his nose projecting
on level with his forehead-thus Sc
curing him from a fatal front shot.
This re~ders him a dangerous enemy,
as he will receive any number of balls
from a small gun in the throat and
chest without showing the least dis
tress. An account of a dangerous en-
counter with this animal is given. The
writer had fred without killing the
buffalo and had not baG left. With
a stealthy step and short grunt the
bull advanced upon the man, seeming
ly aware of his helplessness.
Suddenly bright thought flashed
through my mind. Without taking my
eyes off the animal 1 put double
