A farmer living near Pulaski, while
out walking across his farm one day last
winter, shot partridge, and ON crossing
the Shenango where the bird fell he
stopped to pick it up, when something
warm and of a mucilaginous consistency
fell upon his head This he soon found
was honey, and examination discovered
that the bullet from his gun had pene-
trated bee tree after passing through
the partridge He returned to the house
and secured three large tubs and twa
milk pals, all of which he filed with
honey.
While securing the honey he noticed a
peculiar movement of the tree, which
seemedeto expand and subside at inter
walls Passing to the other side, wide
seam was apparent, and he learned that
the tree was hollow. From this he sue
ceeded in extracting 32 coons, which had
taken up winter quarters therein, the
peculiar movement of the tree having
been caused by the united breathing of
the coons.
Nor was this all of his remarkable adj
venture, for ON attempting to cross the
river the ice gave way, and he was
Obliged to swim for a short distance
When he arrived at his home. he had
about 45 bass in his coat pockets, and a
few had found Judgment in his boots. -

Conventional rules are most useful in
intercourse with strangers, and this feel
ing, the result Of deliberate reflection
among men, seems quite as well under
stood by animals. The number of steps
which prince or ambassador might adj
vance to meet tho other without derogat-
ing from his dignity, and tho frequent
halts and bows, find parallel in the
amusing form OF canine etiquette, when
one dog "spies stranger at distance.
The first dog stops short, then trots ON q
little, then crouches and finally lies fiat
down, with its nose ON its paws, like q
skirnisher ordered to open fire ON the
enemy. The other dog, which was less
quick sighted, sometimes lies down, too,
but more usually trots slowly up, with
occasional halts.
The action of the first seems clearly to
be a survival of time when dog nat
urally crouched in order to conceal itself
the moment it saw any other creature
which might hurt it or which, on the
contrary, it might want to stalk. Tho
sudden drop is something like that of q
setter when creeping" up on to the
birds. but more like the crouch Of the
fox when it sees hare or wants to con-
ceal itself from persons whom it sees
while it is still unseen. But now it is
observed as purc convention. one which
is obviously mere show, but to omit
which would be a breach of canine ETH

AL on ONE "sPLIT."
Ran OF Luck which Enriched an I'M
pscrnions Gambler.

A Rua OF Iuck which Enriched an I'M
pscsnions Gambler.
Some years ago. when gambling -four
ished IN Washington. two Of the most
enthusiastic votar.os Of faro were old
Bill Lunsford and Adam Koch. They
usually bucled the animal together, and
when they had a winning streak the
bank proprietor was apt to walk the
floor ncryously, and there would be shift
ing Of dealers every quarter Of an hour
or so. When the tickle goddess frowned
upon them. however. there was joy in
the heart of the man who carried the
roll, and pheasants and yenison We're LA
BILE TO mark the next nights supper.
They always played the limit, which
was $25 TO leases" in most Of the rooms
in their day, whether their luck was
good or bad, and consequently they won
Big money or lost their stakes in short
order.
One night Koch went up into Jones'
place, over Charlie Godfrey's saloon, on
L street, without cent in his pocket.
Lunsford was spread out before the faro
table, with red chips at $I.25 apiece
stacked up in front of him and stacks
covering the case cards on the board He
was tipsy and unsociable, and when Koch
suggested tho loan OF a couple of stacks
he was met with stormy refusal
He sat down and watched the play, how
ever, and at last Lunsford, who was
calling for small bottle every other
turn, got drunken and put pile of chips
ON the king, of which only one had
shown. In moment two kings followed
each other in the deal, and Jim Davis,
who was dealing, took down half OF
Lunsford's bet. In doing so he found the
latter had put 10 chips instead of 20 ON
the card, and consequently he left nine
chips and split, or half check, on II.
Lunsford was wild He hated a split
worse than any gambler who ever played
system, and he turned on Koch.
"You wanted a stake, durn you, and
now You can have it,, he exclaimed,
and he threw the split at Koch. The
latter coolly picked up the 6216 cents
and put it ON "a card. Itwon. He shifted
tho chip to another place, and it won
again. Here and there he moved the
chips over the table, now coppering
them and now playing them open, and
every time lie won. At tho end OF the
deal he had $50. at the end OF the next
he had $245. The news got out on the
street that Adam Koch had struck q
winning streak. This was enough to
crowd Jones place with curious and ex-
cited spectators AT midnight Koch was
81, 400 ahead Of the game. AT O'Clock
in the morning he arose and called foi

sports of all kinds and other gala
features that characterized the observ-
ance of Decoration Day in and around
this city yesterday, contributed to make
1t an occasion of rejoicing rather than
OF regretful remembrance. The usual
parades and appropriate ceremonies
OF the Grand Army marked the signif-
canoe of the day, and for the thousands
who greeted it as a timely holiday for
outdoor sports there was an excellent
card of attractions from which to
choose. Those whose holidays tastes
were for thoroughbreds and the turf
found sport at Gravesend. where the
Brooklyn Derby and the Myrtle Stakes
were the special features. The follow
ers of trotting had the choice of Wa
verify Park, Mountain View Park, the
Parkway Driving Club. and Cornwall
where speedy steppers showed their
PAGES and won purses. A dozen or
more yacht clubs within easy reach of
New York gave their openings yester-
day, and sails were stretched for trial
spins; to say nothing of the half dozen
regattas ranging from that of the
American Yacht Club on the lake in
Prospect Park. to the Harlem Yacht
Clubs free for all in classes between
the 17-foot open cats up to the GO-foot
schooners. Oarsmen divided their at
tention between the banks of the Har-
lem and .Passaic rivers. where we'll
trained crews rowed good races. The
national game held its own, and New
York and Brooklyn crossed bats with
Chicago and Cleveland; and there
were lesser games on every available
field. Meadowbrook' annual polo
tournament, golf, cricket. and tennis
matches, and the field events of sever
al athletic clubs, went to fill up the
card and furnish good amusement. At
all of these different field meets the
popularity of the wheel, and with it
the bloomer, was demonstrated.
Wheelmen and wheelwomen were as
tir in all parts of New York and Brook
lyn early in the day, and the objective
point of many of the pedall-rs was the
Millburn road, where nearly 10000
cyclers were scattered along the course
of the great Irvington-MillSurn road
race. 1t was a great day for the sports
and for the wheel and the boomer.
