A sort of temporary grass-widower
of this place, recently met with a
would-be serious, but none the less
interesting mishap. the cause of which
we have traced directly to the un-
settled condition of mind common to
grass widowers. Having carelessly
left his horse standing at a gate, he
was conversing with some ladies on the
neighboring estates when the neglect
ed animal, becoming impatient, started
off at a slow pace, headed for his stable.
Our hero instantly leaped the picket
fence with the dexterity of weasel ,
and started off in full pursuit, but
owing to his short and pussy build he
found, much to his dlsmay, that his
pace was steadily decreasing while
that of the horse was as steadily in
creasing. OF course. all this had a
sort of humorous effect on those left
behind, especially when the cute ami
NAL, finding himself master of the
situation and apparently taking pity
on his masters inability to travel,
turned about and coming back to
where he was, greeted him with a
Whitney as if to say, 1.-THE race is won,

the way George seemed to take it, for
he climbed in without delay, and

Local Names For Virginia Deer.

The commonest and the best known
of all our cervid8 is our old friend, the
Virginia deer. 1t is the most persist ent
animal of its kind, politely but firmly
resisting all attempts at complete ex-
termination Wherever there are large
tracts of forest, and also in many places
where there are not. it ranges all the
way from southern Florida to the
Saskatchewan, and from New Bruins
wick to Idaho and the Mexican border.
In Florida and Texas it is small and
insignificant creature in comparison
with those found in the Virginia noun
tains and farther north. In the west
and northwest this creature rejoices in
a fine assortment of popular names.
Here are few of them, in the order of
their preference: White tailed deer, fan
tailed deer, flag tailed deer, long tailed
deer, red deer and fallow deer. The
last two mentioned are particularly OBJ
jectionable, for they rightly belong to
two we'll known European species. 1t is
no wonder that SO many men are deter
mined to name this creature from the
appearance of its tail, for that member
is so long, SO bushy, SO white under
meath and so very noticeable when its
owner is running from you that the
provocation is very great.-St. Nicho-

Vitality of Seeds Tested.

Professor Lazenby of the Ohio expert
ment station, in making tests for ascer-
tanning the purity and vitality of seeds,
notes the remarkable power of roger
mination which is exhibited by various
species. Different samples of wheat
terminated no less than ten times after
intervals Of a week or more, during
which time the seeds were kept perfect
ly dry. Corn will terminate nearly as
often. Clover and the grass seeds ger
inmate but once, as rule. This helps
to explain why good stand of grass or
clover is difficult to obtain in unfavor-
able seasons, while failure with wheat
or grain from alternate wet and dry con-
ditioDs seldom occurs, provided the seed
is good. 1t may also be one reason why
certain garden seeds will, endure much
greater neglect than others. Garden

Poisoning by Timed Food.

Some light is thrown by The Lancet
upon the mysterious cases of poisoning
by timed food which from time to time
are reported. They are believed to be
due to neglect of the caution against

posed to the air for some time after be-

poisonous substances, technically known
as 'ptomaines, are generated SO rapid

An Achievement.

Judge Thatcher of Mississippi was an
obstinate bachelor and rather prided
himself upon having resisted the charms
of lovely woman when on all sides his
friends had fallen victims to the insid
ious arrows of fate.
He was solemn looking man, but
with plenty of dry humor in his nature
He had pleasant home, over which
his relatives sometimes presided.
Upon one occasion lady called on
some charitable Grand, and the servants
being out for the moment the judge
answered the bell.
The caller, who was stranger, asked
for the madam.
In grave and deliberate voice the
judge replied, "There is no madam. "
The stranger instantly detected sor-
row and spoke with sympathy in look
and voice: "Alas, l seel Pardon me-a

This was too much for the bachelor

HERE'S A NUT TO CRACK.
A Puzzle That May Give Leisure Mine
Something to Think OF.


Something to Think OF.
l have found the following interest
ing problem in an old notebook. writes
Sir Walter Besant. l have no recollec-
ton at all of its origin. Perhaps every
body knows it. Perhaps everybody does
not Those who do not will find it, I
think, unless they bring algebra to bear
upon it, rather tough nut to crack.
Here it is. Once there were three mig
gers-their wickedness is q negligible
quantity; it does not enter into the
problem-who robbed an orchard, car
ried away the apples in a sack. laid
thou up in barn for the night and
went to bed. One of them woke up be-
fore dawn, and, being distrustful of
his friends, thought he would make
sure of his share at once. He therefore
went to the barn. divided the apples in
to three equal heaps-there was one
over, which he threw away-and car
ried off his share. Another niger then
woke up with the same uneasiness and
the same resolution. He, too, divided
the apples into three heaps-there was
one over, which he threw away-took
his share, and carried it Off And then
the third niger woke up with the same
emotions. He, too, divided the remain
ing apples into three portions-there
was one over, which he threw away
took his share and departed.
In the morning every one preserved
silence over his dOingS of the night ::
they divided the apples which were left
into three heaps-one was over, which
they threw away-and so took each his
share. How many apples were there in
the sack? There are many possible an
swers-a whole series of numbers-but
let us have the lowest number of apples
possible. Senior wranglers must be good
enough not to answer this question.
Moralists, if they please, may narrate
the subsequent history of these three
niggers. apart from the problem of their
apples

The Glowworm Cavern.

The greatest wonder of the antipodes
is the celebrated glowworm cavern,
discovered in 1891 in the heart of the
Tasmanian wilderness. The cavern or
caverns (there appears to be series of
such caverns in the vicinity, each sepa-
rate and distinct) are situated near the
town of Southport, Tasmania, in lime
stone bluff, about four miles from Ida
bay. The appearance of the main cav
ern is that of an underground river, the
entire floor of the subterranean passage
being covered with water about a foot
and half in depth. These wonderful
Tasmanian caves are similar to all cav
ems found in limestone formation, with
the exception that their roofs and sides
literally shine with the light emitted
by the millions of glowworms which in
habit them.-St. Louis Republic.

Beginning of the Leather Trade.

A census was taken in 1890, a second

New York had 867, Pennsylvania 715
and Massachusetts 299. Their yearly
production included 2,60S, $40 pounds
