Mr.. Longstreet Can't had peculiar
find at his house last week. He had pur-
chased turkey and kept 1t in the coop to
fatten it. When the cook was dressing
it to be cooked she found some foreign
substance in the gizzard the knife kept
striking against 1T, and upon close inspec-
ton it proved to be gold scarf pin.
There were places for three sets Of stone
on the end Of it, but the sets were gone.
The pin had entered the gizzard its entire
length, about two inches, and the flesh
had grown around it. 1t was in state
OF perfect preservation was not even
tarnished by contact with the flesh /; It
must be pure gold. The turkey fattened
and thrived, so the pin surely caused Go
interruption of nature. This turkey was
bought by express messenger for Mr..
Skinner, so it is likely the pin belonged
to some one near White Oak. Since this
pin has turned up, the watch lost at the
balloon ascension last year may be found
in turkey gizzard.- WinnSb0r0 Net1s.
"A woman who drove wagon into
town on Friday disposed of her produce
and then produced two chickens, which
sho offered for sale. On being question: cd
she stated that she was willing to sell the
fowls but did not care particularly. She
had brought them to town as foot warm
ers and was willing to carry them back.
Her scheme was to put the two chickens
under the seat of her wagon and to thrust
her feet under their wings, their natural
heat serving as well as hot bricks or q
stove to keep her temperature at COM
Portable figure. This Is believed to be 8
strictly original idea. It is as ingenious
as 1t is effective and is good illustration
of how we'll country people are able to
meet emergencies and take care Of them
selves in all kinds OF situations.-Green-

An odd kind of settlement Of an
election deadlock has been made by the
two candidates for Sheriff of Wolfe coun-
ty, Kentucky. Both candidates received
the same number of votes, and the most
careful recount and inspection Of the bal
lots failed to alter the result. The candi-
dates wouldn't agree to another contest,
and as they were close friends, neither
would accept the Office at the hands Of the
other. It was finally agreed that they
should divide equally the receipts of the
Office, and draw lots to decide which
should be sheriff. The Republican won
the draw, and the Democrat will be chief
deputy sheriff, but with an equal share
in the spoils Of Office.
"A terrible crime has just come to
light at Bangor, Me-, where wife fifteen
years old has attenl pied to poison her
twenty year-old husband and his parents,
80 as to get their property. Fortunately
the attempt was not successful, though
she tried it several times, making the
family very sick. After the last attempt
her husband taxed her with it and she
broke down and confessed. She said that
her mother told her to, and that as she
loved her mother better than her husband
she consented. Her mother gave her a
brown powder, which she was to put into
their food. The mother and daughter
have been arrested and lodged In Jail.
As showing the value of the Jewish
regulations with regard to the animals
slaughtered for their food the chief rabbi
of New Zealand states that amongst the
2OS cancer cases treated in the wellington
Hospital during the last eight years there
has not been single Jewish patient.
Out of the 6,767 deaths registered in New
Zealand during 1898 there were LOCI
caused by cancer and tuberculous dis
eases-two ailments which are very pre-
valent among cattle.
