For many years sandy mound on the
II. A. Maize farm, just south Of this
city, has been known as the hiding place
Of the fox. This winter the animals have
been unusually numerous and created
havoc in the henneries. Tho losses be-
came 80 great that the farmers held a
meeting and decided to blow up the
mound and rid themselves Of the pests.
A large quantity Of dynamite was pur-
chased, and four large charges were put
into the ground. For some reason the
fuses failed 10 discharge the explosive,
and the stuff is now buried in the mound.
The mound is one Of the most productive
spots on the farm, aud as the farmer
does not know just where the dynamite
lies he is in a pickle to know what 70 do,
as he is afraid 70 dig into the mound for
fear he may strike the stuff and send
himself TO kingdom come. The owner
OF the farm insists that the dynamite
must be found, as he realizes that the

POmpolIan Business Notes.

A number Of business announcements
are to be found at Pompeii, that brisk
little city to whose daily life the energy
Of Vesuvius has lent a kind Of immOr-
tality. Here we get large number Of
miscellaneous inscriptions dealing with
matters of daily life, announcements Of
forthcoming gladistorial games, edicta
of magistrates, wine sellers attempts to
captivate customers, rewards foI lost or
stolen property, houses for sale or to be
let and other things Of that sort.
We learn from one announcement
that q glass Of wine could be got for /
Rs-about 3 farthings-while for asses
one could drink real Falernian. Another
inscription informs us that q denarius
about IA pence-was paid for wash
ing a tunic, and the date, the 18th Of
April, is carefully recorded by the writ
er. Whether she was the lRundress or
the owner Of the tunic must be left un
decided, but it seems at least that she
was in the habit Of marking up her
washing account on the walls Of hen
house.
There are several such Inscriptions on
the same wall Of this particular house,
all dated-the goth Of April, a tunic
and pHllium; on the 7th Of May, an ar
ticle which need not be particulariEed,
while on the day following two tunics
are scoIed.-Macmillan's Magazine.
