A Fresh MuIIet From the sky.

From Forst and Stream.
Yesterday afternoon. while sitting on our
front piazza, enjoying the warm sunshine
and deeply interested in reading in Forest
and Sire ~ about the Lost Man." my
attention Has diverted from that very
strange character by the swooping noise
that is often made in this country by a
buzzard from very great hight by clos
ing his wings and pitching toward the
earth at a very great speed. have also
heard the same sound made by brant and
geese.
Almost at the close of the swooping
noise was a heavy. dun thud on the earth
not exceeding fifty feet from where 1
sat- and on looking in that direction +
saw one and a half pound mullet lying
in the yard ! then bethought me OF the
screaming, noisy racket / had heard from
the lighting birds and on looking up saw
the fishing hawk and eagle half a mile
away, both vending their way eastward
! then made a more careful survey Of my
supper, which as a supper for the eagle
failed to connect. 1t was still wet with
the sea water, and only for the fall from
so great an altitude would have been alive
as IL was only slightly marked by the
claws and beak of the fshhaWk. II GER
tainy was a very fresh mullet for one liv-
ing fifteen miles from the Gulf, and made
good breakfast for three Of us In the
family.

THIS GOAT SLAVES.
How He Learned TO Handle a Razor.
His Whisker
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Mount Vernon, o., Feb. 2.--Larry
Dermody, railroad man, has a wonder
full goat. Several years ago, owing to a
disease he had contracted about the jaws,
it was deemed advisable to clip "Bfly's'
whiskers, and he was taken to a barber
shop for the purpose. The process prov
ed a success, and the operation was re-
peated several times with good results.
But when the whiskers grew again the
facial troubles returned to Billy, and the
shaving was again resorted to.
Finally, the goat came to like the treat
ment and no trouble was experienced in
getting him to undergo it. One day Mr.
Dermody caught the animal and exam
ined him, preparatory to taking him up
street for his regular shave. He was
very much astonished to see that his
lower chin was shaved smoothly and
cleanly. When he walked into his bar
Der shop that evening he learned that the
goat had appeared and had his whiskers
removed. The BARRIERS thought nothing
of the occurrence, but supposed that Lar
nv had accompanied tie goat up street
and stopped in a neighboring store to
await the goat s return.
Ever since that time the goat appears
of his own accord at intervals of several
weeks. The time between visits always
depends on the soreness developed by the
growth of his WhiskerS.

Went Counting When He Was 1913,

Two remarkable cases of longevity were
recalled recently by a conversation be-

were discussing the death of the Rev.
George Mccall, the veteran Baptist
preacher when IT was automatically stated
that Mr.. McCalFs great grandfather lived
to the ripe old age of 1N years. He was
a bachelor at 100 and took a notion to get
married. He carried out his idea and
was married. Three sons were born to
him, and he lived to sec the Oldest son
old enough to vote.
This was considered remarkable, but a
gentleman in the crowd whose character
above reproach, told an authentic account
of the life of his great-uncle, who was
one of Georgia's pioneer citizens. This
old gentleman lived to be 100 years old
He lived in a log cabin. in the northern
end of which was cut square hole The
old man turned the head of his bed to
that hole, and slept that way i'm the
warmest and coolest weather. His wife
died when he was about 80 years old, and
for many years he lived as widower
