HOW A SWALLOW DIED.
Impaled In It's Flight on the Sharp Fl

Impaled In It's Flight On the Sharp End
Of y Weather vane.
This is the story of a curious mishap
n. Y. W. L. Calver was standing in q
barnyard at that place. 1t was a blus-
terday. and the weather-vane on the
barn was kept in constant motion by
the shifting wind. Mr.. Calver looked
ut the vane. He had looked at it TWEEN
ty times before during the day, but
this time it was different. Evidently a
bird had perched upon it. Mr.. Calver
thought it the most unstable perch
possible. But the bird remained there
all day.
Towards evening the boys on the
farm tried to dislodge the bird by
throwing stones at it. 1t did not go
away. Next day it was still there, and
then an investigation was made. One
of the boys climbed out of the cupola
window and, looking up. found the
bird was swallow; that, far from be-
ing perched on the vane, it was inn
paled. The vane stuck right through
the birds breast. The swallow was,
of course, dead. Its position made
reaching it an impossibility. SO it had
to be left where it was. At last only
the skeleton was left. Finally even
that fell to pieces. 1t is thought that
in one of the downward swoops which
swallows make in fight the bird did
not see the rapidly-shifting vane, and
that the latter veered around just in
time to impale the swallow through
the breast.-N. Y. World.

There isn't Q gun manufacturer in the

intimately associated all his life with the
Developments Of tho two best American
rifles, the Remington and Winchester. For
years he was superintendent OF tho =. Rem-

After leaving there he refused tempting

It was after this long term OF active labor

without receiving any benefit worth notice.
During the summer Of 1893 and the winter
Of 1894 Mr. Clough was confined to his house
in Belchertown, being unable to rise from
his bed without assistance, and suffering
continually with acute pains and with no
taste or desire for food, nor was he able to
OBTAIN sufficient sleep.
Early In the year 1894 Mr.. Clough heard
Of DR.. williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
He began taking these pills about the first
IT March 1894 and continued to do 90 until
the first part Of September following. Tho
urst effect noticed wssA better appetite and
ae began to note more ability to help him
self OF the bed and to be better generally.
Last August lS0N he was able to 60 alone
to his summer residence and farm OF l6S
acres on Grenadier Island, among the
Thousand Islands, in the river st. Law
renee. where from the highest land OF his
farm he commands = view for II miles
down the river, and 20 Of the Thousand
Islands can be seen.
Instead Of being confined to his bed Mr..
Clough is now and has been for some time
able to be about the farm to direct the men
employed there and he is thankful for what
DR. Williams Pink Pills have done for him.
These pills are manufactured by the DE-.

GAUGE OF slcycLE SPEED.


An Export Rider Gives Mule ToAs y
Clalmed to b 1sllabae.
!. The recent rapid growth OF the list
of fatal accidents by bicycling has con.
vinced the public that the local enact
ments regulating the speed Of wheel
ing within city lines need to be strict
" enforced. To be compelled to keep
within speed Of eight miles an hour
on q stretch Of perfect asphalt is not .
little irksome to the expert wheelman.
and riders are often tempted to exceed
that speed and run the risk Of detec-
ton on the strength of the difficulty
the police will have in determining
how fast the machine is travelling.
This difficulty, however, 10 only fam
cied.
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to measure the speed accurately
enough to swear to it without reading
the cyclometer or knowing the dis
lance ridden. All that is necessary is
for the observer to note carefully the
number of revolutions the pedals make
in a given period of time, say five sec
onds, or . single second. and then II the
gear is known the speed is known al
so. To determin if the rider is going
faster than the eight miles IN hour
allowed by law the gear of the bicycle
need not be known; the counting of
the number of revolutions will suffice.
A very little figuring will then ahow
whether the rider is breaking the law
or not. An expert rider gives the fol-
lowing as safe figures to go by:
Whenever the rider revolves his
pedals once in a second you may be
sure that he is riding faster than 8
miles an hour. If his bicycle is geared
at 60, one revolution a second will car
ry him 1924 miles an hour; if at 63. his
speed is half a mile faster; at 6S it is
12A miles: at - it is almost Is miles.
and 50 it is little more than 1915.
One revol ution 4 second is, therefore,
faster than the rider of 6O-gear can
legally travel. 1t will be advisa bic
for riders to test these figures for
themselves, and then they will nc
longer be under n false impression as
to whether spectators know or do not
know how fast they are riding.-Pitts-

COFFEE BY THE FRENCH.
Their Women Understand Well the Art Z
Making 1t.

Their Women Understand Well the Art Of
Making IL.
There are at least two things which
the French understand better than the
English, coffee and salads. In En-.
gland the coffee berries are rs good as
those that are bought in France at
double or three times the price, but the
beverage that is made from them is al
most invariably bad. in hotels no less
than In private houses. French Wis
itors have explained again and again
the reason of this inferiority. but to NO
purpose; for John Bull, difficult rs he
is to please over his tea, is Indifferent
on the subject of coffee, and will go
through life serenely and unconscious
of the fine aroma and flavor that may
be extracted from the yellowish green
berry if proper attention is given to the
matter.
The main rules are these: The Der
ries should be freshly roasted and
should never be put into the mill until
the coffee is about to be made. To buy
coffee already ground is indefensible
SupposinR it to be pure when retailed
by grocers in that state, it has gener-
ally lost much of its aroma, which il
exceedingly volatile. Nov, the aroma
Is to coffee what the bouquet is to Bor-
deaux burgundy. that is to say, almost
everything. However generous" .
wine may be, il it has no fine bouquet
it is merely vim ordinaire- enough
for common use, but not to be offered
to a friend ut dessert.
When it has lost its aroma coffee 10
almost worthless, chicory being then
quite as good, If not preferable. But
when its essential perfume rises pow
erfully with the steam Of = freshly
poured out cup it is one of the best and
most delicate of natures little atten-
tions to mankind. In all French kitch-
ems the coffee-mill is regarded rs one
Of the most indispensable Of utensils;
and although people living in large
towns generally buy their coffee ready
roasted, in country houses the roasting
is done at home-a very simple and ex-
cellent contrivance being sold for the
purpose.
But it is Of little use to talk Of cot.
fee to people who only drink it when
mixed with milk. It is only 50 en-
ployed by the French ut their early
breakfast, when. in their opinion. the
edition Of chicory improves it; but
those who have the proper respect for
the refnements Of life think 1t rank
heresy to use ever 80 little Of the bit
ter root in making cafe noir. The En-
glish will never understand the art Of
milking coffee until they learn to ap-
pEeciate the true favor and virtue Of
the berry when served In the form Of
cate uoir after lunch or dinner. The
habit. however. is not worth cultivstr

.rhs Mo-. strangest Death .

Ihave seen and heard tell Of many
and many q strange and pecurious
death. you understand. but l am bound
to tell YOU that the most strangest
death have ever saw or heard tell OF
come to pass in the case of little Jim
Dargin.
1t was along in the last days OF
March. IL don't remember wrong, and
one mornin the wilder Dargin put lit
tie Jim on a horse and started him of
down in the Flat Woods to look after a
yoke of oxen which had strayed and
struggled of with the dry cattle. On
their way back home the horse got
skeered, or Jest naturally took up . fool
notion, and run away. He throwed lit
tie Jim where the ground was mon
strous hard. and when the neiRhbors
got there the boy was dead.
reckon it was plum natural for the
horse to git skeered and run away. and
it want to say no ways uncommon
strange for him to throw the boy, you
understand. But it was strange and
marvelsome past all understandin for
the boy to git killed. Maybe no doubts
such wonders have come to pass some
where's in the world before. but SO far
back as the records run the case OF lit
tie Jim Dargin is the first and onlyest
one that ever took place in the Rocky
Creek country.
The boys down here in this strip Of
Gods own country are about like the
common run of boys, and reckon lit
tie Jim must of been q right smart kin
to all the rest They all play marbles
and go in swimmin and swap knives
and ride horses. and the like of that.
II l had brought on a second class fu.
neral every time horse has run away
with me. or fell down with me and
throwed me of. or turned wagon or a
buggy over with me, bless goodness
there wouldn't be room enough in the
Cool Springs church grounds to hold
the graves. But l have always helt to
the doctrine. and I maintain till yet,
that whensomever a yearlin boy gifts
bad fall the good Lord spreads down
what you mought call His onseen feath-
er bed right under the boy to catch him
and to save him from all harm and dam
ger. To be certainly of course it stands
to reason that there must of been .
slippunce and the machinery jumped
cog somewheres in the case of little
Jim Dargin. But at any rates to me it
was about the saddest as well as the
most strangest death that has ever
come to pass in al the regions around
Rocky Creek.

Sad Fate Of . Ground Hog.

A freight car loaded with grain was
side-tracked few days ago in Phila-
delphia. One of the attaches about
the yard opened the door of the car
and left it standing ajar. Shortly
after this a little animal poked its nose
out of the door and then jumped to the
ground below. 1t was q ground hog.
A little colored boy, who happened to
be near, saw the animal AID gave
chase. The ground hog was SO fat
from feasting upon the inexhaustible
supply of wheat that it couldn't run a
little bit, and the boy soon caught and
killed it. The animal had probabl
crawled into the car in western Penn

simply gorged itself upon the wheat
