Sneezes Stop Prayers.

Services had just begun in the Wes-
leyan church in Vineland, n. j., Sun
day night, when one of the brothers
sneezed several times. Presently two
or three of the devout sisters sneezed
with such energy that the rest Of theas-
semblage became alarmed In few
minutes everybody was either sneez-
ing or coughing The sneezing came
onlike a rising breaker Pastor Scull
looked at his flock in blank amazement,
and gave out a hymn. The choir tried
to take up the tune, but the organist
had to stop to sneeze. Then the pas
tor himself caught the infection and
fell to coughing and spluttering, his
dignity all gone. The elders looked
over the audience between paroxysms
and vainly endeavored to fathom the
cause OF the untoward event. 1t was
all mystery. The service was ADAM
doned, for not even a prayer could be
offered. Finally it was discovered
that mischlevous persons had thrown
loose packages of snuff through two or
three of the windows, and the fine
powder had blown over all the con-
gregation. The people were unable
to gain relief until every door and
window was opened to its widest
stretch. Pastor Scull managed then
to quiet his flock, and proceeded with
the services. The church officials are
very much excited over the snuff
throwing, and offer reward for the
arrest of the miscreants.

Elephants in a Fight.

The l5,000people at Lawrenceburg,
Ind, local population included, which
turned out Monday to see the Wallace
circus parade, had a day in which were
combined fun and fear The two big
elephants that led the parade fell out
over peanut from bystander and
rushed at each other trumpeting and
screaming. They beat each other with
tusk and trunk, and the noise of the
contest was heard squares away.
The tigers, lions, hyenas, frenzied by
the noise, added their outcries and
fought the bars Of their cages. The
elephant, Prince, knocked down his
mate, Diamond, and the noise and eX-
citement became intense. Patsy Fore
paugh and Johnny Kelley, the ele-
plant keepers, rushed on the big beasts.
Diamond caught Forepaugh and threw
him thirty feet away against box car,
rendering him unconcious and bruising
him terribly. Kelly was knocked
down by Prince.
The four other elephants were then
called il to capture the two rebels.
They crowded upon them, and after a
terrible struggle knocked the offenders
down and held them until they were
chained. They were punished in the
most severe manner for three hours
before they cried for relief
Several people were bruised and
knocked about in the melee. One cir
Gus man had leg broken, and the
baby of Mrs. Arden was hurled seven
ty-fve feet. In the afternoon the
parade took place Prince and Dia-
mond walked at the head with a dis
couraged look, and with the blood
still oozing from their wounds.

Household Hints.

Old kid gloves make excellent pen
wipers.
Fresh raw meat is the best bait for
mice traps.
A dish of water near lamp will
prove a trap for moths.
a sponge bath with alcohol is excel
lent for delicate women.
Do not beat eggs for custards too
light as they will float and not mix
well.
Make your own orange extract by
adding the peel of six oranges TO a
pint of alcohol.
In boiling rice, peas or macaroni
save the water in which they were
boiled for use in soups
Whalebones that are bent can be
Strengthened by being thrown into
cold water for few hours.
Orange rinds, saved and dried, make
the best Of kinding, owing to the
volatile oil contained in the skin.
Soaking canned goods in ice water
for an hour before heating them will
remove any tinny taste that may be
noticed in them.

Shrinkage in Corn.

The Mccormick Estate Farmers
Club Of Harrisburg, Pa, in 1898 adopt
ed resolution asking the members Of
the club to make test and find out
by actual weight how much corn would
shrink or lose in weight from husking
until the next June l.
In accordance with that resolution
ten farms report the shrinkage from
November l to February l, 81 per
cent, and the shrinkage from February
l to June l, Is per cent, or from
husking time to June next l6J per
cent. In the above test each farmer
took double bushel of corn and kept
them separate, weighing the same corn
on the first of each month from Nov. |
to June inclusive. The different
weights were handed into committee
and the average loss was calculated
with the above result.
In 1894, after the above report was
received by the club, it was resolved
to make another trial, and instead of
taking a double bushel Of corn ears,
each man was to weigh seventy pounds
of corn ears at husking time, about
November l, and then weigh the same
corn again on February l and June l..
Fourteen farms report the shrinkage
from November to February l T. 6
per cent, and the shrinkage from Feb
ruary to June l SO per cent, or
from husking time to June l next l6.5
per cent.
The experiments were watched with
interest by farmers and the deduction
is that 10 cents bushel at husking
time will pay about as well as 30 cents
a bushel on the next June |.

About Ostriches.

Those who assert that the ostrich
lives on broken glass and iron nails
are not quite right but that it swal-
lows pebbles to assist its digestion, as
do many other birds on a lesser scale
when in state of nature, and pieces of
wood, metal or what not, when in a
state of captivity, for the same purpose,
is most undoubted.
The strength of the ostrich is quite
equal TO carrying a man on its back at
a rapid rate of progression. The At
ricans often use it for riding purposes.
DR.. Livingstone tells us that the legs
ofan ostrich running at full speed can
no more be seen than the spokes in the
wheel of vehicle drawn at gallop.
The ostrich can run thirty miles an
hour, and the Arabs would never be
able to overtake them but fol the STRAIT
egems employed. They first follow
them for a day or two without press
ing too closely but sufficiently to pre-
vent them from taking food When
they have tired out the hungry bird,
they pursue it at full speed, and, taxi
ing advantage of fact well-known to
them-that the ostrich always de-
scribes a curve in its course-them-
selves make a direct straight "short
cut, and sOgradually get withinreach.
Each adult bird produces about half
a pound of white and three pounds Of
black feathers. Those from the male
bird are most highly esteemed, and all
are in best condition when plucked
from the living bird.
