"Aftor wo had lighted up tho place with glowing fire we saw that tho partridges were gone from the wooden peg on which they had hung and were nowhere to be seen, A long search about the camp revealed them at last on the opposite side crowded half under the bottom log of the wall as if an att tempt had been made to get them out of the camp that way.
 We hung them mp again upon the peg and in few minutes discovered a weasel running about them trying to get them down again. He appeared to be regardless of our presence. He would run ont to the cad of the peg and work awhile to try to push the string that held them over the end and then would dnrt to the ground below and sit upright looking ut them, his eyes all the while glowing like cmer- aids. Al last l picked my gun up, loaded with heavy charges of bird shot.
 It's no use trying to hit him, said Farris, my companion, an old woods mau. Hell dodge the flash of your gun. The most you eau do is to scare him awuy
 "As the weasel sat upright and mo- tionless on one of the bottom logs of the camp I took n careful sight and fired with my right barrel at him. The smoke cleared away, but no weasel was to be seen, although the place where he had sat was poppered with fine holes where the shot had all struck within a space us large as the palm of my hand. If the weasel had been hit he would hayo becu found and he had evidently dodgca at tho flash of the ex- plosion or perhaps the fall of tho ham mer. But thc shot had tho effect of frightening him away, for we had no more visits from hiin during our stay"

Their Great Mistake In Putting Fancy
 pricea on New Ldaas.

Prices on New Ideas.
 A new article of domestic hardware has been put on the marlet which is a staple in all families and competes with similar utensil which is sold for g and 90 cents The price of the new ar ticle is s1. Before 1t can be in demand and generally adopted, to the displacc. ment of the old utensil, great deal of work will have to be done, which ia very much hampered by the prohibit tory price put upon the goods. The number of persons who will be willing to pay the price of four or five of the old style goods for one of the new style will not be large, we think, and wiser policy would have fixed lower price. This leads us to say says the Cincin- nati Enquirer, that every year there are large numbers of similar articles put on the marixet, which would have Q large sale if they were sold at mer- cantile prices. By this we mean con sideration of the first cost of the goods when ready for delivery to iobbers, the jobbcrs' profit and the retailers as well added, for these things arc con D4hNAGA bf bhAtANs bA}AiA FAlOAf1AtAE dAAAA retail, before there is any demand for goods. Last week we went into a store where filter was on sale Upon ask ing the price of one of half q gallon capacity, we were in formed that it was SEQ. 1t was plain casting with no dt- tings or fixtures and with some porous matcrial inside of it of no particular money value. The casting may have cost 50 cents, and an outside figure for the cost of the utensil would be Sl, yet SEQ was the price to the buyer. We de- murred at the price and gave the same reasons for so doing that are RiYcr. above, but tho sellers argument in fa- vor of the high price was that it would filter some fabulous number of gallons of water per day. This Lad no connec- ton whatever with the cost of the goods; frying can will turn out 59Q pounds of cooked material day and g 25-cept faucet will permit thousands ci ga.ions of water to pass through 1t daily. These are the functions of thc article sold; they are expected 10 be eff Gcicnt, but there is no reason for add ing 2,0OO per cent. to the cost of them.
 The fact that articles are patented leads many persons to feel that the pub lie expect to pay stiff prices for sucl things but we believe this to be crrone ous. Nowadays those who have money 10 spend consider prices very carefully and fl they are unreasonable they simply go without the goods

 At recent meeting of the Australian Association for Che Advancement of Science Prof. Liycrsidge read a paper on The WaterpgooGng of Brick and Sandstone with Oils" These cxperi- mcnts were made with the view of as. ccrtaining the length of time that brick and sandstone are rendered waterproof or protected by oiling. The oils used were the three commoncst and most readily obtainable for such purposes, namely, linseed oil, boiled Iinsecd and the crude mineral oil known as blue oil' used for preserving timber. The wcatherings were made upon fiat portion of the laboratory roof fairlyex- posed to the sun and weather. Good. sound machine-made bricks were ex- perimeuted on The amount of oil and water taken up by the sandstone was very much less than that absorbed by the brick, although the area of the sandstone cubes was much greater than that exposed by the bricks. Equal amounts of the raw and boiled oils were aDsorbedi the blue oil, however, was taken up in much greater quantity by both brick and sandstone, but by the end of twelve months the whole of the thirteen and one.half ounces of blue oil had apparently cvaPorated away, and the brick had returned to its original weight. but those treated with rawand boiled oilsrcmalncd unchanged. After the second oiling in November, 1890, and exposure for nearly four years and two months, they had prac- tically retained all then oil, inasmuch as they had not lost weight and were also practically imperyious to water. It was noticeable thnt the sandstone cubes treated with raw and boiled oils returned to their original weights, but do not appear to have lost the beneficial effects of the oils, being practically inn previous to water
