called upon to undertake the erection
OF new edifice. When the building
that IS now In use for a church was

The ed!fice will be built on the two

Father Melley will not postpone action
on this matter very much longer.

A DECEPTIVE TARGET.
1t Costs Something to Learn to Hit tn
 Dangling Ball.

iL COSCS SOIncIIiiE- tO Learn to 41IL Cn0
 Dangling Ball.
 A shooting gallery peculiarity that has recently came into popularity con- ists in 8 very light and fragile ball of blown glass, or in some cases a hollow egg shell suspended from string.
 This always attracts the inexperi- enced Earksmen, because the natural iestructiveness inherent in human na- ture causes him to prefer to shoot at something which he can smash rather than st a target that gets no harm from his accuracy.
 Therefore, says the New York Sun, he wastes his three shots, at one and two-thirds cents a shot, not on targets, but on the suspended mark. And he never hits it.
 The experienced man in rifle range gunncry wastes no time on the de- ceitful ball. He knows that it can't be hit. Probably he knows it from ex- perience, for it is one of those facts that no man will believe until he has tried it for himself.
 The reason for it is that very light hollow glass ball, or blown egg if properly hung on a slender thread, will dodge any bullet that ever came from gun barrel. The air that the bullet piles up in front of it blows the light mark out of the projectile's path until it has passed, after which the target swings back to it's original po- sitiCn.
 This is very provoking for the marks man, who, if he be a good shot, has the doubtful satisfaction of seeing his target execute three quick dodges at the aforementioned price of one and two-thirds cents per dodge
 There is nothing, however, so re- nunerative to the proprietor as these pendent marks, for the gunners, pro- voked at their lack of success, will keep on and on and on trying to hit mark compared to which pin head would be barn door shot, and they only give it up in disgust when the cost be- gins to tell upon them or when some wiser friend explains their lack of sue ceSS
 Two dollars is cheap price to pay for the knowledge that one of these hanging targets is a better mark for Q baseball than for bullet.

CALIFORNIA IN 1893.
It Had Both Depression and Cause for
 COnGrata!atiol.


 COnGrata!atiol.
 Says a San Francisco letter to the New York Tribune: The retrospect of the year in California does not show the usual gains in business and the customary progress in the material de- velopment of the state. About the only increase in crops is found in hops, of which 4S,000 bales were shipped this year, gain of 9,0o0 bales over last year. There has also been a substan- tial increase in the gold yield, the out put for this year being $13,OO0, O99, a gain of about 5000, ,0J0. From ali in- dications gold mining will have big boom the coming year. as hundreds of mines that have not been worked for ten years will be reopcned and new properties developed. The wine men have had a good year, as there has re- gently been an unexpected demand for wine ana brandy. The decrease in bank clearings probably serves as the best index to the financial depression on this coast. This decrease amounts to S106,000,000. Real estate transac- tions in this city also fell from S21 ,OOO,- 900 to S13, 700,0 ,0o0. The grain shipments were heavy, but the low price made the total returns smaller. The railroad freight movement surpassed the rec ords of all previous years, the increase over the previous year being 47,O00, GOO pounds, which would fill 21,794 cars The salmon and cod fishing industries were both prosperous.

Dlspos.nr of His Ashes.

An eccentric Washingtonian, who died some time ago, possessed of a deal of this worlds goods, has left on file in his will at the registrars office a peculiar contribution on the subject of cremation, says the Washington Post. After consigning his soul to his Maker, as the time-honored custom of making wills prescribes, he starts off with a request that none of his l1ith or kin shall make any marked changes in their manner of dress. He then com mands that his body shall be burned
 The ashes his friends may dispose of as they choose. They may be used to fertilize his daughters flower-bed, or they may be sprinhled under his favor, ite orange tree in his grove in Florida. These remarkable instructions also ap- ply to the dust of his first wife, for he directs those who mourn for him when his breath has left the body to search ''the closets upstairs" where they will find the ashes of Mary Ann. These are to be cremated with him. Before pro- ceeding to dispose of his property, he also requests that his second wife, ct her decease, give her body to be burned, but that she dispose of the ashes according to her own sweet will.

HOW TO KILL CROCoDILEs.
Shoot Them or Catch Them on Line and
 Take an AK.


 There are two ways of killing croco diles, writes an ex-resident of India One is by shooting with a rifle, but the most satisfactory way of dealing with them, besides being far the most sport ing, is to bait good large hook with a bird or small animal and fasten it by a chain to good long rope, the end ot which is firmly plcketed, the rope be- ing coiled and the bait lain in shallow water. There must be lots of slack line, as the crocodile does not swallow anything at once, but selzes it and takes it into deep water to gorge. A number of lines may be laid and looked up in the morning or cool of the even ing.
 When hooked it will take a good many men to haul a crocodile out, and as he resents the operation and can use his tail as we'll as his jaws, one or two sportsmen will find considerable enter tainment in dispatching him with spears.
 Some crocodiles grow to enormous size, and their maws always contain round white stones and often trinkets, the relics of inside passengers. The writer assisted at the death of not extraordinarily large ''snubnose" which had six WOmen's rings in her.

HIS HEARING WAS RESTORED.
But After Being Cured He Couldn't Ever
 Bear the Ticking of 9 Watch.

But After Being Cured He Couldn't Even Bear the Ticking of Watch.
 A well-lnown physician recently told the following story to an Indianapolis Sentinel reporter:
 "A prominent Marion county farmer discovered that he was gradually get ting deaf. He couldn't hear the hired man blast stumps with giant powder. He came to my office and made signs that he wanted his ears examined. examined them, and in an instant, al- most, found that his defective hearing was caused by the gathering of waxy substance in the ears. When 1 re- moved that obstruction of the hearing was surprised at the result. The old gentleman jumped from the chair where he had been seated and put both hands to his ears. He couldn't stand the noise from the street and the least sound startled him. He was one of the most pleased men 1 ever saw. Re went away and 1t was several weeks before saw him again. lie called at the office with his wife and she did all the talk ing. She hardly raised her voice above a whisper and every now and then she looked at her husband in a timid way. She said that for several days he would not allow the least bit of noise in the house, and that he butchered some pigs before their time because of being affected by their squeal His daughter and her husband had lived with them for two years and they had to leave on account of the crying of their six months-old baby There were two clocks in the house, one in the dining room and one in the bedroom. These he stopped on account of the ticking The clock in the bedroom was an alarm clock. It went off one night. He jumped from bed and nearly broke his neck by falling head first on the floor. The woman said that she had to keep the house as quiet as a country grave yard for more than two weeks, for it was that long before her husband be- came accustomed to hearing. His daughter, however, has gone back to the farm with har baby, and the clocks have been started again"

Trarsnarent Leather.

The manufacture of transparent leather, an article which has lately at tracted some attention, may be ac- complished, according to the Magazin Pittoresque, in the following manner: After the hair has been removed from the hide, the latter, tightly stretched upon a frame, is rubbed with a mix ture consisting of one thousand parts glycerine, two parts salicylic acid, two parts picric acid, and twenty-five parts boric acid. Before the hide is abso- lutely dry it is placed in a room which the rays of the sun do not pene- trate, and is saturated with solution of bichromatc of potash, and, on the hide becoming very dry. there is ap- piled to its surface an alcoholic solu- tion of tortoise shell, by which a transparent aspect is obtained The leather is of an exceedingly flexible character, and is used for the manu- facture of toilet articles, though it is claimed to be fairly adapted to the production of foot scar.
