Young Quail Whose Neck Had Been
 Wrung Flies Away.
 A gentleman living near this place recently netted dozen quails, says a Taylor dispatch to the Philadelphia Times. When he was killing and dress. ing them the following strange occur renee transpireG: As he went to wiring the neck of one of the birds the head slipped off in his hand, pulling about two inches of skin and feathers along with it.
 Turning a moment later to pick up the bird from where he had thrown it. the gentleman found the little fellow flying and hopping about as though nothing untoward had happened, his bare neck sticking up gaunt and head less.
 Thinking the birds activity resulted from posthumus contraction of the

THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.


 Than the Sword.
 The affection of the collector for the objects of his zeal has been amusingly illustrated by story told of Melingue, a French tragedian who had a mania for gathering together great quantities of old vestments, arms and similar an tique apparatus. Among his treasures was a beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles V.
 Having worn this sword in piece in which he was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak he bore the precious sword of Philip II.
 Coming around a corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneak thieves. He was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 ''What! Betray to these rascals that l have such precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after all, and then they would get it. Twill keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword inside his cloak, and with the other hand let down his umbrella. With this as weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to flight.
 In this case the umbrella turned out to be mightier than the sword

CARPETS WERE UNKNOWN.
How the Fourteenth Century Mansions
 Were Furnished,

Were Furnished.
 Carpets in the fourteenth century were unknown luXuries, says Good Words. but the fashion of strewing the apart ments with rushes was being gradually abandoned. Pushes were still used iii the retainers' hall, but for the better rooms sweet-scented herbs and fragrant twigs were usually employed.
 In the fourteenth century windows were apertures filled with glass so as to admit light, but to exclude wind. The walls also were frequently hung with cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates of the room from the many currents of air that penetrated the strong but bad ly built walls. We learn from various ancient documents that it was the duty of the serving men and pages to sweep out the principal apartments, but as the use of water is rarely mentioned, damp and fragrant leaves and twigs must have aided not only in collecting the dust, but also toward refreshing the att mosphere in such costantly closed rooms, fresh air being only admitted through the doors opening on to the battlements or balconies.
 From old inventories at Thurleigh and elsewhere we ascertain how scant- fly furnished were these ancient man sions, although they seem to have been abundantly supplied with flagons and drinking cups in gold, silver and finely engraved pewter, besides an infinite number of black jacks or cups made Of leather.

AN OLD PLOT.
But in This Case New Heroine Was
 Worked In.

But in This Case New Heroine Was
 Worked In.
 Young story-writers are apt to begin literary career by telling, in some form or other, the story which follows. But it must have taken a real genius to make a COW the heroine. This particular story is attributed by the Philadelphia Times. in which we find it, to Texas locomo- tive engineer.
 The engineer was running his train at full speed, when, he says, his atten- tion was attracted by COW which seemed to be coming straightdown the track to meet the train. He put his hand on the valve and puffed out three sharp whistles.
 Still the COW came on, believing at every step, and acting altogether in an unusual manner. As much from curi- osity as anything else, the engineer slowed up and sent the fireman ahead to see what was the matter with the COW.
 No sooner did the COW see that the speed of the train was slackening, and that the fireman was going to investi- gate, than she turned and ran straight back down the track, stopping now and then, looking over her shoulder and switching her tail as much as to say: Come on!"
 The man followed, and by and by saw the COW stop short at high trestle. Going up, he discovered another COW which had got herself fastened in the trestlework squarely across the rail.
 As soon as the animal was released, the two cows lost no time in scampering away.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents.

Asparagus Soup.

The following recipe is given i'll the
Now York Tribune: Asparagus makes
the most delicious Of all cream soups.
Select the green, unbleached asparagus,
even if the stalks are smaller. Half a
bunch will make three pints Of soup.
Cut off the tips and lay them aside to
be used as garnish for the soup. Cut
the remainder of the half bunch in
small pieces and throw it in three pints
of white stock. Add sprig Of thyme,
bay leaf, a spray Of soup celery and 0
sprays of parsley, with IL peppercorns
Let the soup cook for half an hour, then
strain it through PURGE sieve, pressing
through all the asparagus that will pass
through. Put the soup over the fire
again, add cup of rich milk or cream
and let it boil up again. Add the as
paragus tips, which have been cooked
for ten minutes in sailed boiling water
and drained, and serve.

Selecting Wall Papers.

Before buying your wall papers study
your rooms and know just what you re-
quire for best results. Yellow is the
color for rooms that have no sunshine,
particularly if they are living rooms. If
you prefer very light covering for the
wall Of sunny room that will not
quarrel, select cream or buff. Pale
green is a good color and is also restful
and cool. A light olive is an excellent
medium color and combines well with
white, old pink, reds and certain shades
of blue and yellow. Well lighted rooms
can have indian or pompeiian reds on
their walls.
