An Automatic Harness.

The Harvesting of carriage or buggy
horse is made a simple matter by the in
vention Of an automatic harness. The
attachments are suitable for all classes
of vehicles using single harness with
either breast-strap or collar, with or
without breeding. and they can be con-
verified into double harness instantly. The
sing le-tree, traces, shaft tugs and many
leather bands and straps upon the shafts
are removed, giving the shaft clean
appearance and reducing the Harvesting
and 'hitching up" to mere moments
work. The attempt to dispense with the
single-tree and traces has often been
tried, but never before successfully. The
wear and tear of the harness is said to
be reduced 30 per cent, and the horse
can be detached instantly. The horse
can work i'll perfect comfort, with no
chance of sore back, bruised shoulders or
rubbing~of the sides. The bearing on
the, back of the animal being removed,
the vital organs are released from un-
natural pressure and his brea thing is
normal. The automatic harness, which
is unhitched by the easy pull of trig-
ger, seems to be as humane as it is up

Sells His Hair Every Year.

Lon Bishop of Searsburg, VT, is a sin
gularly fortunate man. He has an as
sured annual income for merely sitting
around and letting himself grow. When
ne was but young man he began to let
his hair grow winters to keep his ears
warm in the woods. Observe the result.
After several years of letting himself
grow thus. he discovered there was de-
mand for himself. Young women, who
didn't know what was the matter with
their hair, single women of advanced
years, who had reached the sad moulting
period of life, elderly married women.
whose husbands considerably cheered
their way in the sacred family circle by

vague, hidden wants into his willing ear.
He soon found in this way a select line
of personal customers for his product
and no questions asked. And now for
years yelled women have come up to the
mountain home throughout the year and
bought off the fleece. They know what
they arc getting. So every July Alonzo
goes down to some town at the foot Of the
mountain for his annual hair harvest,
and comes back again shorn, with IL lit

n Blind Billiard Player.

To the friends of blind julius Stern his
achievements with the billiard ball and
cue are a continual source of amazement
His main dependence in playing at bill
lizards is his marvelously acute detection
of sound and it's location. He also is as
sisted in executing the most difficult shots
by his acute sense of touch. BY simply
locating the three balls on the table, he is
enabled to send the cue ball OH it's way
around the table. gently clicking each of
the worries in succession, almost always
as intended.
Stern delights in relating the story of
his double cushion ''all-around- the ia
BILE" shots, "draws,' gathers "ca-
romS," etc. .-~..--
BY the clicking music of the balls Stern
instantly knows whether he has made a
successful shot. The soft or loud noisse
of contact tells him where he may place
his fingers to find the ivory preparatory
to the next shot.
Playing billiards is his pastime When
a boy, before he became blind, he used to
play little, but he has acquired his skill
since he became blind. Stern earns liv-
ing conducting news stand. He is an
expert accountant, can detect the differ
ent denominations of coin instantly, make
change with astonishing rapidity and de-
livers with accuracy hundreds of newspa-
pers. placing them unerringly in the
proper letter boxes in fiat houses. He
has learned to do all this in spite of the
fact that he has been blind almost since

Strange Accident in a Cemetery.

All the cream of the French aristoc-
racy were assembled the day before
yesterday morning in the Church of St.
Francois Xavier to attend the funeral
of the Marquise de Chanaleilles, who
met with her death in such a shocking
manner in the great cemetery of Pere
Lachaise a few days ago. The mar
quise, who was IS years old, determined
to visit the family mausoleum on Sunday
last to offer up prayers for her husband,
who died about eighteen months ago.
She had scarcely crossed the threshold
of the private chapel above the vault
when the large flagstone ON which she
stood gave way and precipitated her into
the vault, where the collins lay fully
twenty feet below, and, to add to the
horror of the situation. several large
tlagstones then fell upon her.
Her married daughter, the AIarquise
de Marcieu, who had accompanied her,
and who was herself over 80 years of
age, in making a vain attempt to save
her mother, fell in as well. breaking a
leg and an arm. Her screams brought
assistance, and the two ladies were
quickly taken out by means of ropes,
but from the very first it was apparent
that the case of Nine. de Chanaleilles
was hopeless, and she expired within
half an hour at chemists shop near
the cemetery entrance.-Paris Cor. New

Small Birds that Italians Fat.

To the Italian everything is edible: it
is Il nation without a palate. 1t Sleeps a
hare in fennel and eats salt with melons,
The craze for devouring birds of all kinds
is a species of fury from the Alps to
Aetna; they crunch the delicate bodies
between their jaws with disgusting rel
ish, and lark represents to them a sue
culent morsel for the spit or pasty. The
trade in larks all over the world is enor-
nous and execrablc, and is as large in
England as in Italy. It should be made
penal by heavy fines on the trappers, the
vendors and the eaters, or ere long no
more will the lark be heard on the earth.
It is admitted by all who know anything
of the subject that agriculture would be
impossible without the aid of birds, as
kinds would make desert of the entire
area of cultivated land.-Nineteenth
