A Burglar Alarm.

Jake Longabaugh of this city has
taken the agency for the Burglar
Alarm Bell which is one of the best
anti-burglar devices on the market.
1t is secured to the casing of door
and set by means of simple lever
each night before retiring. The in
slant the door is opened ever so lit
tie it goes off with a racket intended
to give burglar the snakes. In the
day time the lever can be
moved away from the door without
turning the bell on and is altogether
a very neat and necessary feature.
Orders sent by mail to Jake Tonga

ABUUT TIE BARBERRY.
A Fruit that Is Not Particularly ReIished
by the Birds.

by the Birds.
The agreeab bic tartness of the bar
berry fruit, which makes it so gener-
ally and so highly esteemed, is due TO
the presence OF malic acid. a substance
found also in the foliage. Besides being
made into preserves and jellies, the
ripe fruit is caIslied or may be drie
like raisins. While yet green the ber-
ries are sometimes picked as 4 subati
tute for caperS. Barberry preserve Is,
moreover. often used as the basis OF
refreshing summer drinli-a sort Of
'barberryade. Finally. it IS reported
that in our western states the fruit OF
Berberis aq1ifolium and certain other
native species IS made to yield upon
fermentation an agreeable wine.
But for all their attractiveness to
us, the berries seem to be less in favor
with birds than are many fruits which
we care nothing for 50 long as the
more succulent or less acid fruits are

berry but little. When winter comes.
however, they are glad enough to profit
by the barberry's offer Of something to

not dangle in vain.

a RlRO-HUNTlNG PIG.
He Was Reliable Any Pointer Dog In

He was rs Reliable as Amy Pointer Dog IN
the Field.
We call pigs stupid creatures. This
is not fair. They are really as intelli-
gent as the majority Of domestic ami
mails, but the lives we allow them are
too short and their opportunities too
few for them to show their abilities to
advantage. The pig of which l have
more particularly to tell was by no
means handsome specimen, but what
she wanted in beauty she made up in
talent.
Gas a baby pig she belonged to person
named Toomer, and she was reared
with a family of Young pointer pup
pies. She took kindly 20 her play
fellows, and when they became old
enough to follow the keeper in his
walks she, too, would come trotting
and grunting after. When Mr.. Toomer
began to train his young charges for
their work of ;inding and pointing out
game there was danger that piggy
might make mischief. But the keeper
would not leave her shut up at home
He had. he said, broken many dogs as
