New Trapeze Feat Performed by . Cir.
Of Seventeen.
A pretty little acrobat has introduced
q new sensation to this country, say:
the Boston Advertiser. She climbs tc
q lofty perch, lies fat on her face upon
smooth plank, with her feet rest
ing against a velvet-covered block o;
wood attached to the string of a huge
cross-bow. Then she stiffens her body
extends her hands in front Of her anG
cries ready" A catch is pulled, the
string of the bow sings as it cuts the
air, and little Alar is hurled, as rigid
as a steel bar, head first through a pa
per target at which she had been care
fully aimed, and sails through the all
in a graceful curve to the other side
of the big tent, where, just as she be
gins to descend, she is caught by an
other woman, who swings head down
ward, hanging from a trapeze, which
oscillates in such a manner that, jus'
at the right moment, it brings the
dangling woman within reach of tha
flying girl, and just as the spectator,
are wondering whether the little one il
going to land and how badly she will
be hurt, they see her safely dropped
into a comfortable and inviting pair o!
arms.

OHIO'S ENORMOUS GRAPE YIELD
Nearly . Million Baskets Gathered, let
No One Made Money.

Nearly . Million Baskets Gathered, let
No One Made Money.
The yield of grapes in Ohio this sea-
son has been the heaviest ever known
and yet growers, shippers and handlers
as rule have lost money. The excep-
tionally large crop and the quality OF
the grapes, which was generally below
the average of former years, made the
price very low-about one-half what it
was year ago.
With the exception OF the Catawbas
the quality this year has been poor.
The Concords were too ripe and they
had too much rain. The Delawares and
Niagara varieties were also compare
lively poor. The Catawbas, on the other
hand, were better than usual. The
yield of the latter was also good and
about zoe. 900 baskets were shipped from
Cleveland and tributary towns.
In the northern Ohio grape belt from
Avon to Unionville the shipments were
about 3.76o, 900 baskets. Counting tho
local consumption of this belt with the
amount manufactured into wine, the
yield will reach over 5000, 900 baskets.
The great abundance and the low price
caused many growers as well as the
regular manufacturers to make more

The Squirrel, Owl and Nice. Also tho Re
Elections Of BiCojay.
1t was in late summer and the owl sat
upon a branch looking very wise and
doing nothing, while the squirrel
busted himself with the nuts lying
about on the ground. gathering them
expeditiously and slowing them away
In hollows and holes.
Winter came by and by and with its
sharp cold and deep snow, but still the
owl sat upon the branch looking wise
and doing nothing. The squirrel jeered
at him, thinking that the owl must be
hungry and starving. because the birt
had not been provident one. Each day
the squirrel grew fatter, but the owl
did not change, which the squirrel
thought to be due to the feathers stucl
out by the owl in his false pride.
When it was at last between fall and
spring time, the blue jay one day saw the
wise owl leave it's perch On the branch
and seize the fat, provident squirrel By
the neck and eat him, after which tn.
owl returned to tho branch, and sal
upon it, looking wiser than ever, and the
blue jay wondered if it was better to be
provident like the squirrel, wise like the
owl, or lucky like the mice that there
after ate of the squirrels store.
