Last Stand Of a Manned Fox.

A fox was captured near HeaLhs-
vile, Va, recently, that possessed
only three legs. Several young men
we're on their way to the village when
dog belonging to them started the
fox and gave chase. A hound belong
ing to neighbor was then turned
loose to assist the other dog. When
the fox realized that there was no
chance for his life he crouched behind
bush, waited for the dogs to come
up, and gave battle. He was soon
dispatched, and on examination was
found to be minus leg. The missing
member had been cut off, presumably
by steel trap, close to the shoulder,
and the wound had healed up nicely.
Those who saw the chase said it was
wonderful what speed the fox could
make, although thus disabled. The
poor fellow has probably had to devise
many cunning trick and use his wits
to the utmost to prevent being caught
by the many packs of hounds that have
been hunting around here during the
fall and winter. Richmond Dispatch.

Queer Last Bequests.

A merchant of Aberdeen bequeathed

powers for the enlightenment of the
population at large, and desire that
my body be used to enlighten the
people after my death. "
Squire Hawley, of the village of
Hatfield, near Doncaster, left the
whole of his estate to his groom, on
the condition that his funeral should
be conducted in certain way. He
died and was buried in his own gar
den in the centre of tile graves of his
cattle which had died during the rind-
erpest. He was laid out in full hunt
ing costume, including spurs and
whip. and was carried from the house
to the grave on a coffin board, when
he was placed in stone coffin, which,
weighing more than ton, had to be
lowered by means of a crane. His
pony was shot and buried at his feet
in bride and saddle, and his dog and
an old fox we're buried at his head. =

Proof Against Death.

If ever man bore a charmed life
Nathan Porter of Cross Creek town
ship is that man, says the Ohio State
journal. He has met with number
of accidents that would have ended
the life of an ordinary human being,
but Nate seemed possessed of as many
lives as cat. He is just now going
about after having been kicked
squarely in the forehead by horse.
His apple orchard is on the side OF a
hill, and he has fallen out OF nearly
every tree on it several times and
never was more than shaken up. Some
years ago log rolled over him as II
he Ind been made of rubber.
Then he went to picnic and ate
ice cream that poisoned everybody
else, but beyond little sick spell he
never felt any discomfort. Several
wears ago his physician told him to
settle up his affairs and prepare for
the heaeafter as he might live two
years and he might not live more than
two days. He came out of the doctors
office and shook hands with his frleRds
telling them of the good news i'm
parted to him by the doctor, and add
ing that he did not believe a word
that the doctor had told him. He
lived to see the doctor buried. Porter
holds that he could go through pow
der mill explosion without even SMELL
ing the powder. The minor accidents
he has met with are innumerable and
he expects to die naturally.

A Bright Dog.

DR.. John Clark Ridpath, the his
torian, living at Greencastle, has a
rather remarkable dog, known all
over Putnam county as Duke. He
seems to have absorbed some of the
rare intelligence of his noted master.
One day Duke was sent to the butcher s
shop after basket of meat. He Sc
cured it and started home. On the
way he met fellow canine that was
determined to have some of that meat.
After worrying with the highway-man
for awhile, Duke decided that more
heroic measures were necessary, and,
jumping upon stone fence nearby,
he deposited the basket out of harms
way, leaped to the ground and wal
loped the life out Of his enemy. When
the latter went bowling away, Duke
secured his basket of meat and trotted
homeward. He goes to the postoffice
after the mail. He asks for it by
placing his fore feet on the delivery
window and barking. This act he
performs several times a day, never
loses letter and never forgets what
time to go. He almost invariably
eats Mt his masters side. In fact the
bites of meat alternate between his
mouth and DR.. Ridpath's. He is a
collie and can do score of odd tricks.

A Misfit Glass Eye.

One of the most gallant of the sol
diers sent by California to the war
had the misfortune in his last engage
ment to be struck in the eye by spent
ball. The bullet ruined the sight of
that eye, of course, and the optic had
to be removed. At first, the soldier
covered the empty, orb with green
patch, and in the glory of showing a
wound received in action did not seem
to mind the Disagreement. But as
the years went by, and fame and high
social position came to him, he con-
cluded that he would replace the patch
by an artificial eye.
Accordingly, he sent to Paris, for a
glass optic, and in due course of time
it came to him by mail. Unfortunate
ly, the eye was a misfit, and do what
he could, the wounded veteran could
not hold it in place. At all hours, at
all places, and in the most embarrass-
ing fashion, the eye had way OF fall
ing out, and on one accession nearly
upset dinner party by falling upon
the table and rolling across the
cloth. Eventually the eccentricity OF
the glass optic became by-word in
the soldiers set, but all unconscious
of the merriment at his misfortune he
kept on wearing it.
Eventually, at time when par
ticularly gruesome antc of the gener-
ais glass eye had made conversation
all over the town, he happened to be
invited to house party at which the
late William Trnvers was a guest. In
the middle of the luncheon one OF the
maids carrying tray piled with glass
ware and china, tripped at the head OF
the oaken stairs and discharged her
bu. den with a tremendous crash to
the bottom. The echoes had hardly
died away when T7aeefs- pushed bach
his cheir, jumped to his feet, and IL

claimed, "My goodness, there goes

Making Holes in Glass.

Strong glass plates are bored
through by means of rotary brass
tubes of the necessary diameter, which
are filled with water during boring.
To the water is added finely powdered
emery. Thinner glass may be perfor-
ated with holes in an easier manner
by pressing disk of wet clay upon
the glass, and making a hole through
the clay OF the size required, SO that
the glass is laid bare. Moulten lead
is then poured In the hole, and lead
and glass drop down at once. This
method is based upon the quick local
heating of the glass, whereby circu-
la3 crack is produced, the outline OF
which corresponds to the whole made
in the clay. When moulton lead is
poured upon clay so that steam is gen.
Grated from the moisture the lead is
very apt to fly. Putty, although.
of course. more expensive. rs

New Styles of Cooking.

TIE trouble in the Transvaal and
surrounding territory is attracting
deep interest to that portion of the
world. Among the curious things
learned have been the odd ways OF
cooking practiced by South African
tribes. A very palatable dish is
made of an elephants foot by putting
it in hole, building afire around and
over it and keeping 1T going for five or
six hours Elephants tail is said to
bo very delicious when washed,
scraped and fried until it is rich,
dark brown. A novel way of making
stew is prncticed by one tribe,
who use the animals skin as recep-
tacle for water; put in this water
vegetables and pieces of meat and
then add red hot stones. This gener-
ates vast quantities of steam and
makes the water boil without injuring
greatly the surrounding hide. AT the
end of an hour the contents are
cooked and the water has become a
very fair soup, but little peculiar on
account of the amount of cinders,
sand and fragments of stone it con-
tains. Still another tribe cook To-
Gusts. grasshoppers, katydids And the
like, and say that they taste great
deal like an overlooked shrimp. None
of the native tribes so far as known
ever eat the lion, but they have no
such feeling toward other carnivora.
The jackal, wolf and fox are moro or
less popular and are reported to give
a very palatable meat. Where our
people hang mutton, game and the
immortal goose to season it and give
it rich flavor, many South African
tribes secure the same result by bury
ing meat in the earth and leaving it
there for several days. No civilized man
has ever been able to eat itin this con-
dition, but the .savages pronounce it a
: iftNnoucy oiSes.traordinai. iueiit. Not
alone is canibalism practiced to a
large extent, but our Darwinian cous-
ins of the monkey tribe share the
| same fate. In the districts where they
are employed as food they are very
timid and fly at the sight of human
being even at great distance. In
other territories, where they are un-
molested, they are about as tame and
fearless as in South America or India.
In nearly all of these tribes the woman
is the cook and the waiter, very often
the butcher and sometimes the hunter.
As in all other savage races, man is
only too glad to throw all the hard
work of life upon what antiquity
| terms the "weaker vassal. New York

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

One cannot live on air bubbles Of
sentiment.
No matter what man does, he
should, at least, be consistent.
On the verge of decision we all
trem ble-hope pauses with futtering
wings.
Woman's genius, if great and true,i
equals and often surpasses that of the
most gifted man.
When one is attempting noble
things, it is surely noble to suffer
whatever it may befall us to suffer.
There are some griefs that can fol-
low and persecute to the very death
even Croesus among his bags OF bull
lion.
Remembrance is very bitter, and
useless as we'll to play ones part out
bravely in the world, it is necessary
to have no memory.
Men never fall in love at first with
woman's mind. They may learn to
admire the mind afterward, if it is
worth admiration, but it is a secondary
thing.
What q false world we live inflow
full of the most gracefully performed
lying! The pity of it is that when
truth is spoken no one can be got to
believe it.
There are two things, each of which
he will seldom fail to discover who
seeks for it in earnest; the knowledge
of what he ought to do, and plausible
pretext to do what he likes.
Everybody is making mistakes.
Everybody is finding out afterward
that he has made a mistake. but
| there can be no greater mistake than
the stopping to worry over a mistake
already made.
