Some one either Saturday or Sun
day night shot a hole through one
OF the large plate glass windows in
NJ. Maurin's store. The hole is a
very small one, too small even for
the ball of a 22-calibre gun. 1t was
probably done by some boy with u
sling shot and a small bullet. The
glass cost $45. The bullet struck it
in about the center but the glass is
not cracked more than an inch from
the hole made. There was no
insurance ON the glass nor any clue to
the one who did the shooting. 1t
is not damaged to sucn an extent
that it will be necessary to replace.

six years ago. ayoung, inexperienced
boy. BY close application to his
duties, and Il determination on his

tails of banking, and was rewarded
by being made assistant cashier of
the First National bank, which posi-

The Legislative Outlook.

From the Brainerd Dispatch
1t is altogether probable that the
Republican legislative convention.
when it convenes in Princeton on
July 3Oth, will name the four gentle
men who so ably represented this
district in the house during the last
session of the Legislature as the cam
didates for reelection. In tins
county the sentiment is strongly in
favor of returning the gentlemen as
a recognition Of the faithful and
effective work accomplished ny
them. In Mile Laos county there is
a contest ON between Mr.. Mallett
and Mr.. Head for the position, but
indications point to the selection Of
a delegation from that county who
will present Mr.. Mallett's name. as
his friends there appreciate the fact
that a new member is not in posi-
ton to accomplish as good work as
Il man who has had experience and
is personally acquainted with /,
majority of the men who will be
elected from the various portions Of
the state to that body at the coming
election. Morrison county has the
senator. whose term does not expire
until after the coming session, and
it is understood they will have no
candidate for legislative hOnO"s.
In Todd county Hon. J. ID. Jones
and Hon. b. f. HartshOrn were
allowed to select their own dele
ga tes, which shows that the people
there are q unit IN wishing their re-
election. With the return Of Messrs.
Ferris, Jones, HartshOrn and NAL
lett, the 10th district will have as
able a BODY of representatives as
any district in the state.

Short Lived Insects.

The wonderful brevity of insect
life is curiously illustrated in the
case of those that prey upon differ
ent species of mushrooms. The life
of the mushroom itself is measured
by hours, yet it is often entirely
ruined by an insect which deposits
it's eggs upon the fungi while it is in
the vigor of youth. The entire span
of life of this mushroom insect is SO
brief that the grubs hatch from the
eggs and the creature becomes fully
developed and capable of laying eggs
itself before the mushroom dies,
even though the latter's life may
not extend over a period of 48 hours
from the moment it first pushes
through the soil. Louis Repub-
lie.

GODS MIRACLE OF MAY.

There came message to the vine,
A whisper to the tree.
The bluebird saw the secret sign
And merrily sang he,
And, like a silver string, the brook
Trembled with music sweet
Enchanting notes in every nook
For echo to repeat
A magic touch transformed the fields.
Greener each hour they grew
Until they shone like FURNISHED shields
All jeweled DER with dew.
Scattered upon the forest floor
million bits of bloom
Breathed fragrance forth through morning'i
door
Into the days bright room.
Then bud by bud the vine confessed
The secret it had heard,
And in the leaves the azure breast
Sang the delightful word.
Glad flowers upsprang amid the grass
And flung their banners gay,
And suddenly it came to pass
Gods miracle Of Mayl

The Brightness of Venus.

Venus and Jupiter are known to
be the most brilliant of the planets
of our solar system. Venus partiou-
larly at the time of her opposition
to the sun reaches such a degree of
brightness that it may be discovered
in the sky even at daytime. Not
long ago the astronomer, Leon
Guiot, made a peculiar observation
at the observatory Of Juvisy. It was
about 3 clock in the morning, and
Venus had but shortly risen in the
east. While getting up from his
couch the astronomer was surprised
how bright the armament appeared
to him, and, following up the phe-
nomenon, he saw that the food of
light came from Venus. It was so
strong that all articles threw shad-
ows, and he even saw his own shadow
on the wall. Becoming more inter-
ested, he turned to his timepieoe and
was surprised to find that he could
not only recognize the exact position
Of the hands, but could read all the
figures by the light of the planet.
As matter of curiosity he suspend
ed his watch near the wall and at
tempted to take a photograph of both
the watch and the shadow on the
wall paper. The photograph of the
shadow appears clean and sharp
upon the background, very plain
proof for the strength of the plane
tarY light.

The Passion For Doctorins.

The story is told in Joubert's Pop
ular Errors Concerning Medicine"
published at Bordeaux, France, in
1879, that one Gonelle, a jester at
the court of the Duke of Ferrara, in
sisted once upon time that the
trade which had the most followers
was that of doctor. To prove his
assertion he left his home one morn
ing to go to the palace with his
nightcap on and bis jaws wrapped
up. The first person he met stopped
him with the question, what is the
matter with you, Gonelle?" "A
terrible toothache. "Oh, is that
all? I'll tell you what will cure it. :"
And every person he met had some
advice to give him.
When the jester reached the dukes
chamber. the same question and an
swer were repeated. "Ah," said the
prince, IT know of something that
will take the pain right away"
Gonelle intantly threw up his ker-
chief, saying: And you, too, mon
seigneur, are a doctor? I have only
passed through one street i'll coming
from my house to you and have
counted more than 200 of them. I
believe I could find 10000 in the
city" Whether the story is true or
false it could be told again in our
days, and Gonelle would win his
wager without dispute. Popular

FIGHT ~. -" -~OOSAOTiVE.
An Engineers Desperate Struggle with c
Drunken Fireman.

Crazed by liquor, Barney Long Of
Schuylkill Haven, a fireman on a Read
ing coal train, the other night attempted
to murder the engineer and steal the
locomotive.
The crew, with w. II. White as con
ductor, started from Port Richmond.
where Long, unknown to the crew, took
on several bottles of liquor. On coming
up the line the engineer, noticing that
the supply of steam was getting low,
demonstrated with the fireman for his
negligence, when it was seen that he
was intoxicated.
The steam becoming very low, the
engineer cut loose from the train at
Monocacy, three miles from Birdsboro,
and started for the lattor pldco TO tele-
graph for assistance. Fireman Long
was then crazed by the lnuor, and, no
ticing that the engine was running
empty, he climbed OH the footboard OF
the large coal dirt burner and started to
creep into the engineers cab TO stop tho
engine. On the narrow footboard Of thu
rapidly moving engine the fight began.
The struggle vas fierce and the en-
ginecr grasped . monkey wrench and
commenced striking tho fireman with it.
He was unable to entirely subduc him,
and when Birdsboro was reached, the
engineer saw that q switch was thrown
and that they were running into a sid
ing. The locomotive was stopped and
the engineer ran back.
Then the fireman, seeing the engineer
of the engine, reversed it, but fortu-
nately the switch was thrown again in
time and the only damage done was the
running Of the engine of the track. Tho
fireman was seriously injured, and it is
thought his skull was fractured by the
terrible beating. Philadelphia fress.
