BITS OF HISTORY.

Curious Facts About Swearing vice Pres
idents Into Once.
More than once in our history the
vice president has been sworn and in
Quoted into Office sooner than the presi-
dent, says the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
This was the case of John Adams, who
took the oath and became president of
the senate and vice president Of the
United States nearly a month before
Washington's first Inauguration; itwas
the cnse with Millard Fillmore, who, 1t
is said, took the oath on Sunday, March
4, falling on that day of the week in
1s4o, while Taylor, the president-elect,
being rigid Sabbatarian, did not per-
init himself to be sworn until Monday.
It is said that in 1877. when March 4
again fell on Sunday, Wheeler, the vice
,presidentelect, took the oath on that
day, while Hayes, having religious
scruples, put off the matter until Mon
day. OF these cases, however, the most
peculiar was that Of 1850, when, the gov
ernment having just been put in opera
tion, presented the curious spectacle Of
vice president without president.
At the time, however, the matter seems
to have attracted little attention or re-
mark, and is now remembered only as q
historical curio.

sPoRTsMEN ON BICYCLES.

Kirk Greenwood's Squirrel Hunting
A-wheei-Guns for Wheelmen.
Kirk Greenwood tells in Gameland
how he went squirrel hunting last fall
on bicycle, with 22-calibre rife. He
carried the weapon on his wheels up
per bar, over the handle bars, or carbine
fashion on his back. He got gray and
black squirrels on Long island, Staten
island, and over in New Jersey. He also
killed few rabbits and game birds.
The rifle was a repeater, but some per-
sons out for sport only would much
rather have target pistol with a barrel
a foot long. Such weapon is much
easier to carry. trequires greater skill
to use, however.
A Toledo wheel company has origin
ated device for carrying a shotgun on
rifle on wheel, which weighs little
over two pounds.
Guns for the especial use of wheelmen
are being thought of-guns that shut
up like jackknives. There are men get
ting ready, it is said, to give fancy ex-
hibitions of shooting from bicycle sad
dies. One firm has a novel plate for its
wheel that shows hunter in full cos
tune. with dog alongside. ON the way
to the bird grounds on a bicycle.

EAGLES AS GAME DRIVERS.
Sometimes They Enable Gunners to Get
Shots at Wild Ducks.

Sometimes They Enable Gunners to Get
Shots at Wild Ducks.
Eagles are sometimes of considerable
service to a hunter, and this is es-
pecially true of the eagles Of the Po-
tomac river at Wide Water, where Pres
ident Cleveland shoots. According to
an American Field writer, eagles on a
calm day often give the hunters shots
which they would not otherwise get.
The eagle goes flying up and down
the stream, and on seeing a flock Of
ducks goes toward them, hoping to get
q cripple, being unable to capture ducks
as the peregrine falcon does. When the
ducks see the eagle coming they jump
into the air and go looking for safer
locality, and this is where the gunner
comes in. The gunner's place of con-
cealment in blind is not nearly so safe
as the eagles vicinity, but the ducks
think it is safer till the shot goes
through their feathers.
Three or four eagles will keep all the
ducks on the move, and the gunners get
good sport where they otherwise would
not have dirtied their gun barrels. The
eagles sometimes steal cripples from
the gunner, but the knowing man does
not hurt the birds. getting his pay back
on calm days.

MATRIMONIAL AGENCIES.
Some Advantageous Alliances Erected BY
Their Assistance In France.

Some Advantageous Alliances Erected by
Their Assistance In France.
A very profitable form of swindling
is that of the matrimonial agencies
which are now worked in France in a
manner entirely unknown, says the Lon.
don Spectator, to NJ. De Foy, who was
the real originator of marriage by in
termediary. There are, of course,
offices where preliminary fees are asked
and where wife seekers and ladies'
yearning for lords are quietly swindled
after having been told to go to the
opera, the salon or the fashionablc
church of Sainte-Clotilde. The strange
part of the matrimonial agency scheme
is that you never know, when in society
whether some banker, priest or old lady
cf fierce virtue and mystical tendencies
may not be husband or wife broker.
There are young ladies not too thin
skinned, head walters in certain restau-
rants, livery stable keepers, cloistered
nuns, notaries and lady doctors of the
obstetric school. These are only por-
tion of the army of workers In the inter
ests of Cupid. There are at present in
Paris two wealthy American girls who
have married titles, upon the wedding
day of each of whom a very handsome
commission was paid to one Of these
Intermediates, of course without the
knowledge Of the wife.

How . Proud and Sensitive Fowl Asserted

He was being interviewed on the
poultry business by a Wabash Times
reporter when he said: II don't want to

knowingest hens in the world in our end
of town. I have flock of 200, all black.
1t is a theory OF mine that black hens
lay better than those Of any other color.
One day found a hen in my flock with
a few white feathers in her tail. Icalled
the hired man and told him to catch and
kill her. you can't rely on the laying
capabilities of hen with white feath-
ers,' said. The hen gave me a sorrow-
full look, but did not say word. Next
morning the hired man told me that he
could not find her. A month or two
later opened pile of potatoes had
stored in the cellar and found big,
hollow space in the center Of them.
There was bunch of black feathers in

Were at the Bottom OF a Mine When No
tice to Quit Was Served.
A Forest and Stream correspondent
tells South African story. Two snakes
were at the bottom of 6O-foot mine
shaft. The snakes were each about ten
feet long, and of one of the most poison
Gus species, known as mambas. Now,
miners and ten-foot mambas do not
agree very well, and this is especially
true when both are at the bottom of q
mining shaft. The miners whose claim
had been jumped sent a message down
to the snakes with orders to come up.
The message was bottle of dynamite
with lighted fuse attached. The
snakes obeyed the summons at once.
They came up the perpendicular shaft
with such speed that they shot up 80
feet above the opening of the shaft.
When they came down they were some
what mixed. The two tails had in some
way got tangled into a square knot,
such as sailors tie. The snakes wanted
to go in opposite directions, but the

0rucsome Relic OF Indian warfare Now
In the National Museum.
A ghastly relic of Indian warfare was
recently sent to one of the professors
at the national museum in Washington,
says the New York World. 1t is the
skull of Little Poplar" the great
fighter and warrior, at one time the
sub-chief of the Cree nation. The Crees
had their homes and lands in Canada,
and when the Rel rebellion broke out
some years ago Little Poplar" took ad-
vantage of the opportunity it afforded
to make war on his own account.
He attacked the white settlers, burned
their homes, carried off their women
and instituted reign of terror in the
region of his operations. Hundreds OF
persons became the victims of his blood
thirsty cruelty. He destroyed their
herds, laid their homes in smoking
ruins and put women and little children
to the torture. There was, in fact, no
form of deviltry too horrible for this
Indian to perpetrate.
When the Riel rebellion was crushed
"Little Poplar crossed to the American
side. So great was the horror he had
excited that a reward of $4,000 was Of
fered for his apprehension. dead or
alive. In 1856 he was murdered near
Fort Assiniboine, Mont, and the half
breed who killed him received the re-
ward. One of the soldiers of the fort
watched for years the lonely grave in
which Little Poplar" had been buried.
and at last. when he felt certain that all
the flesh had been worn off the bones.
he dug up the skull and kept it as
relic. It has just found resting place
on one of the shelves of the national
museum.

Where the Timber Goes.

One Of perhaps many little considered
ways in which the forests of the coun-
try are being eaten up is In supplying
timber for railway timber work. There
are 1000 miles of trestle structure in
the United States, according to an esti-
mate by the Forestry Division. This
trestle work has to be replaced entirely
every nine years. on an average, and
every year timber amounting to 26O.-
100000 feet. board measure, is used for
this purpose. Nearly all the timber is
cut from the largest and finest trees.
The annual expenditure on this work II
estimated at about $4,000

All Fish Have TO Feed. What DO ThsS
s4s Eat7
If there is anything fisherman likes
to do it is to get meas of fish where
others have failed to get bite, and no
stories are more frequently told than
those of big baskets filled at lakes or
ponds known to be alive with Ash, but in
which the fish were never before known
to bite. There are lots of ponds in which
fish can be seen but not taken. In some
lakes fish may he taken in the spring
only, or in midsummer, giving rise to
the belief that they do not feed at other
times. In places where trolling spoons
alone are used, very often big catches
are made with flies of bass and pickerel,
and in places where only natural bats
worms, frogs, minnows-are popular,
artificial lures are often successful.
1t is related of Jefferson county vii
lage that no one ever used flies for bass
fishing tilla boy who knew about tAdiron-
dack trout fishing came along with a
seven-ounce fly rod, with other tackle
to match.
"That toothpick catch fish?" said
the native fishermen. "Why, a half
pound bass would smash it all to pieces"
A couple of them were curious to
know how the thing worked, and vol
unteered to row the boat. They got to
big, dark pool.under q cedar tree on a
ledge of rocks, and a Grizzly King and
Yellow Sallie dropped onto the water
like natural flies. What followed was
convincing to the natives. A black bass
of over two pounds in weight grabbed
the Grizzly King and was hooked. He
put up q good fight, but at last rolled
up on his side and was dipped up with
the landing net. The natives didn't say
very much, but they did whole lot of
thinking. Lightwood rods soon became
popular in that region, and bigger
messes of fish were the rule.

Two YOUNG TRAvgLERs
Boy ana Girl Gross the Ocean Tosethe
on the Rhynland.

BOy ana 0lfl CrOoo tno Ocean TOgetnof
ON the nhynlsnd.
Among the passengers on board the
steamer Rhynland recently were two
little children, boy and girl, who
we're travelling alone to different points
in Ohio, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The boy was George Cough, nine years
old, bright, sturdy, little fellow, who,
owing to the serious illness Of his
mother had been sent from Harrington,
England, to be cared for by his "Uncle
Jack" at Hammondville, Jefferson coun-
ty, O.. until the mother again leaves the
hospital. The boy was well clothed
and very sedate. He was the proud pos
SCISSOR of $3.50 pocket money and ap-
peared to feel rich.
The girl, in marked contrast to the
boy, was as wild as she is pretty, a
curly, fair-haired eight-year-old, Mabel
Blaney, of Walsell, England, who was
going TO join her mother at 272 West
Sixth street, Cincinnati. Both children
had become great friends while crossing
and were familiar with almost all the
passengers. The boy took his place by
Chief Inspector Hughes desk, and as
the immigrants filed in front he would
correctly give the name of almost every
one. Each and everyone of the passen-
gers had a kindly farewell for the little
lad.
On the pier the children feasted on
such delicacies as were to be purchased
at the lunch counter and drank copious
draughts of soda water with evident
relish. They rushed hither and thither,
the girl always in the lead, and varied
their delight by occasional quarrels.
AS soon as the majority Of passengers
had left the pier the two children were
provided with railroad tickets, pro.
visions for the journey, and, after be-
ing duly tagged with the full directions
as to destination, they were turned over
to the railroad company's representa-.
tive, their friends being duly notified by
telegraph of their coming.

OF all the insects the beetles are the

it, and the other insect, usually a car
