1t Was the Bull.

At village near Accrington there
is certain Wesleyan chapel where a
bass viol has been introduced to assist
the choir. On recent Sunday, while
the parson was in the middle of the
sermon, big bull got out of his pas
ture and came staggering down the
road, growing as he came. The min
lister heard the low below, and look
ing up toward the singers seats with a
grave face, said:
81 would thank the musicians not
to tune during service time; it annoys
me-"
The choir was surprised, but moth
ing was said. Pretty soon the bull
gave another grumble, and then the
pa-son became frantic. He stopped
short, and looking directly at the bass
viol player. said:
81 now particularly request Mr.. L.
that he will not tune his instrument
while am preaching."
This was more than the fiddler could
stand. Popping up in his seat, he
snapped out:
at isn't me, parson--it isn't me !!
It's the old town bull. "-Loudon Tele.

The Absence of It.

If there is any truth in the saying that hap.
piness is the absence of all PUN, mental and
physical, the enjoyment of it can only he
found in heaven. But SO lar as the physical
is concerned, it is within easy reach; at least
measurably so, as far as cure will go. Tho
sum Of human misery in this line is made up
Of greater or less degrees of physical suffer-
ing. The minor aches and pains which
affiict mankind are easy to reach and as
easily cured. There are none in the whole
category, which, if taken in time, cannot be
cured. They must in some form affiict the
nerves, the bones, the muscles and joints OF
the human body. They are all more or less
hurtful and wastoful to the system. st.
Jacobs Oil is made to cure them, to search
out hidden pain spots, and to cure promptly
in true remedial and lasting way. Very,
very many have not known happiness for
years till they used it. and very many arc
putting off cure and happiness because they
don't use il.

The Shop Has Braius.

The tendency of successful business
is to enlargement and with enlarge.
ment comes new multitude OF agents,
new variety of markets, a new kind
of competitive danger, to avert which
absolutely requires mind. The very
number of his employees compels the
great tradesman of our day to become
Judge OF character; the very expan
sion of his market drives him to study
many countries, many tariffs, many
laws; and his extreme danger from
competition makes of him an artist, ,
chemist, and critic. The process il
slow, because he is always governed
by the idea of selling, and he Otter
learns rather to know public taste
than to know what taste is, and tc
seek in his purchases the popular
rather than the good; but still the
process must develop his mind.-The
Spectator.

Entangled Birds.

Birds that employ hair in the build,
ing of their nests sometimes come to
grief by hanging, but should say
very seldom, indeed, in the following
singular manner: A gentleman who
had number of colts upon his farm
one day noticed a small bird entangled
in the long hair of the tail OF one of
them. The little creature had evi.
IDENTIFY been in search of material
wherewith to line its nest, and, by
some unaccountable accident, had be-
come ensnared in the unkempt hair of
the colts tail.
Cases of birds getting their feet en-
tangled in bits of yarn or string are
not at oil uncommon, especially in the
breeding season, and whenever tho
victim of this kind of a mishap hap
pens to get the impediments fastened
in tree or among stones, death is
pretty sure to be the result, unless
prompt human aid is forthcoming. In
the spring of the year, as everybody
knows, the dead leaves OF the pampas
grass foil to the ground aud curl up
like shavings from a carpenters bcnch.
A Field correspondent mentions find
ing poor robin which had accident
ally got one of these pieces coiled
around its neck SO tightly that it was
unable to feed and died of starvation.

One woman's Trio Of TrIplets.

In an almost inaccessible mountain
fastness, in Mendocino County, eight.
cen miles northeast of Ukiah, is the
home OF nine children, all triplets.
The mother of this remarkable family
is Mrs. George Walters. All the
family are we'll and happy, and the
last trio are as healthy set of young
sters as can be found anywhere.
The Walters home is in an out-of.
the-way part OF the Mendocino forest
district. Two of the sets of triplets
were by Mrs. Walters's first husband,
Orville Orrin Oates, Missourian.
Three years elapsed between the birth
of the first and second triplets, and
twelve years between the birth OF the
second and third sets.
Mrs. Walters's maiden name was
Ellen Elaine Emmery. She was born
in Quebec about 1855. She met her
first husband during the Centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia. After
their marriage they moved to Alton,
Mo. 1t was at Alton in 1879 the first
triplets were born. They we're named
Wheeler Henry, James Rutherford and
Martha Christine, being two boys and
one girl. The family moved to Cali.
fornia in the fall of 1880, and settled
at first in Inyo County. From there
they moved to the Little Bear Valley,
San Bernardino County. There, in
October, 1882, the second triplets
were born. They were all girls, and
were named Matilda Ann, Rebecca
Elizabeth and Marie Louise. While
out on prospecting tour, seeking
fortune for his fast growing family,
Mr.. Oates became lost in the vast
deserts of Western Arizona, and was
never again heard from.
The widow then determined to move
to the upper part of the State with her
six children. They travelled north by
easy stages, and on the way she met
Mr.. Walters. He helped her and her
children along the way, proposed mar.
riage, and was promptly accepted.
They kept on their way north, seek.
ing for some far-away valley where
they could set up their home. They
found it in the location already de.
scribed. There, in June, 1894, the
last triplets were born. They were
named Grover Eldred, Jasper Otis and
Ruth Ellen.
The children of the first two sets of
triplets do not resemble one another
at all, but the last, the babies, look SO
much alike, that they cannot be told
apart. The only way to distinguish
them is to dress them differently, and
when put to bed they wear different
kinds of night dresses, SO that the
mother in the morning can tell which
is which. San Francisco Examiner.

Birds Make a Nest OF S.cel.

A curious gift has been made to th'
Natural History Museum of Soletta
This gift consists of birds nest con
structed entirely of steel. There ar
great many watchmakers at tSoletta
and in the vicinity OF the workshop
there are always the remains of the oil
springs of watches, which have 5eel
cast aside. Lastsummer watchmake
discovered this curious birds nest
which had been built in tree in hi
court yard by pair of water wagtails
1t measures ten centimeters in circum
ference, and is made solely of watc
springs. When the birds had fiedge
their brood the watchmakers secure
their unique nest, as an interesting
proof of the intelligence OF birds i
adapting anything which comes will

ssLittIe Kentucky.o

"Little Kentucky" as it might bo
dubbed very appropriately, is located
opposite Island No. 10. where Ken
lucky and Tennessee meet. The river,
by gradually cutting outthe Kentucky
bank, had worn off narrow strip OF
land, until one bright morning several
people who lived on this side of the
line woke up to find themselves on tho
other side. In other words, the swift
current had washed away the neck of
earth csaich made the extreme south
western corner OF this State part
of the commonwealth of Kentucky.
The section of territory thus separated
from its parent, as it were, is ten miles
long and five miles wide quite good
mouthful to take in at one bite, even
for the greedy Mississippi.
Every well-posted river man and
every person who is acquainted with
the geography and Typography of this
State will understand how such q
thing could happen. Right at the
State line the river forms loop about
ten miles long. The loop extends up
into Fulton County. The swift stream
has simply drawn this moose tight and
formed an island out OF what was
formerly peninsula. Hickman is
the closest town of any size to the
place where all this land making oc-
Cured. Darnell, little hamlet over
in Obion County, Tennessee, is quite
near the spot.
The boundary line between Ken
lucky and Tennessee has always been
rather complicated down about Island
No. 10, owing to the peculiar bend in
the Mississippi mentioned above. The
lakes, bayous and sloughs which bisect
that corner of Fulton County in all
directions also serve to mix matters.
The biting off of such a large strip of
soil will add to the general confusion,
and the question may arise as to
whether ''Little Kentucky" will here.
after belong to the domain of the
volunteer State or still be part and
parcel of the dark and bloody ground.

There is type of Mexican woman

ing power which enables her to take
upon herself the arduous agricultural
labors of man. She dances. too, and

and ankles are hers and slim little

CANCEL OF TIE TONES. I"

1t is not generally known that Mrs.
Ernestine Schaffer, the "Angel OF
the Tombs," New York City, is a
wealthy woman living in fine house
near Central Park. She is the owner
of great deal of property and on
Sundays and holidays may be seen
driving team of beautiful ponies in
front of one of the finest little road
carts in town. Mrs. SchaAfner's time,
however, instead of being spent in
idleness or in seeking recreation, is
devoted to cause to which she has
resolved to give the rest Of her life.
This is nothing more or less than the
work of helping people unjustly ac-
cused of crime and assisting others
who have been guilty of wrong doing,
and whose sentences have expired.
Scarce day passes without the
"Tombs angel extending a helping
hand to some unfortunate victim of
over-zealous guardianship. She has
two offices down town and engages q
lawyer by the month to assist her. Or
several occasions she has loaned out
more than $4,000 for bail, and she
declares that her losses are less than
$1,000. New Orleans Picayune.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Variety is the best culinary spice.
A good cleanser for paint is weak
lye or saleratus water.
Always buy rye in small quantities
and keep it well covered.
Butter should be kept in stone if
possible and never in tin.
Lard and drippings should be kept
in earthern ware and should not be
salted.
Sugar is just as cheap in small
quantities as in large, and it is better
to keep only little on hand at a
time.
Provide on Saturday for Monday,
so as not to take up the fire with cook
ing or time in running errands on
washing day.
Arrowroot, tapioca, sago and all
such articles should be bought IN
small quantities and kept in glass jars
or covered boxes.
Battle your eyes frequently in weak
alum water If they are weakened by
close work, such as painting, embroid-
cry or reading.
Buckwheat, rice and hominy should
be kept in small tightly covered boxes
or in tin cans, and should be ex-
amined often as vermin is apt to infest
them.
Cook q peeled white onion in the
same pot with your mushrooms, and
if they do not turn black you may eat
them with feeling of tolerable Sc.
curity.
Never put away clean clothes with
out examining every piece to see if it
is in any way out of order. Stock
ings, especially should be carefully
darned.
Vinegar is best purchased by the
half barrel or the keg, end should be
made of wine or cider. 1t should
never be put in glazed ware, as the
glazing is eaten off and forms with it
poisonous compound.
