d Orioles Hang q Sparrow.

Citizens witnessed rare occurrence
recently in G. B. Crosby's yard at Plym..
outh, Mich. In one of the beautiful
trees in front of the house pair of
English orioles built a nest and were
quietly domiciled therein, when spar
row flew onto the nest and tried to whip
the female bird out. With a cry of dis
tress the Nesting bird took hold of the
sparrow and held on until her mate
had come. Apparently fully accustomed
to the art, the male bird drew from the
nest thread and commenced flying
around the sparrow until he had wound
it around it's head. He then flew around
a limb Of the tree and the female bird
dropped her prey. Chirping and singing
as if highly pleased with their quick exc
cution, the two orioles began to torture
the, evil sparrow to death by flying at.
pecking it's eyes and beating it's body.
Finally the thread broke and the by
ISLANDERS picked up the sparrow and
found that it's eyes were picked out and
the skin picked and bruised consider
ably. The bird was dead.

remedy for an ungraceful walk.
Some women contend that their special
gait is natural, like the color of their

entirely misconception of their own
ability to improve their present appear

the distance is the one and only point
to be gained by walking. If they could

any effort which could add little grace

Bicycle Skates.

r In front of W. e. Metzger's store on
Woodward avenue crowd gathered
yesterday to see. young man perform
ing all sorts of queer feats on a pair of
skates that were strapped to his feet
and legs. These new skates somewhat
resembled the old roller rink affair, ex-
cept in place of the four little wooden
wheels each had two large rubber ones
of perhaps five inches in diameter. The
skater moved about rapidly and at
times, apparently without great exer-
ton, made speed of ten miles an hour:
The wheels of these skates are covered
with pneumatic tires, fitted with ball
bearing hubs, and have an iron base
and big iron back-piece that straps
on the leg and nearly reaches to the
calf. They are heavy, but the skater
said that they did not tire him. The
motion of skating was somewhat diff
ferent from that of ice or roller skates,
as the operator did not appear to shove
himself along by a side motion of the
foot, but by the motion of the body.
W.. E. Metzger said he had procured
this pair of skates during his recent
European trip, and he. believed they
were the first pair ever imported to this
country.-DetrOit Journal

Smart Fishes These.

A. p. Buchanan of Nashville thinks
he has proof that fish possess reasoning
powers of a high order. He tells this
story:
II have fish pond stocked with
trout No one has ever caught any of
the fish, as l have been trying to in
crease their number, the pond being but
three years old. My daughter, who is
something of natural surgeon, has al
ways fed the tinny denizens of the pond,
and whenever she goes along the banks
the fish follow her and will eat out of
her hand. One day fish appeared evil
IDENTITY about to die with some kind of
swelling on his head. She caught him
and concluded to try to cure him, lancing
the gathering. The next day he came
for his food evidently feeling as well
as ever. A few mornings after that
her friends in the pond made considera-
BILE stir as they swan after food. They
were pushing a companion ahead of
them that had in some way got caught
and torn fin nearly off, Gripping him
so badly that he could not swim. His
friends were taking him to my daughter
to cure him as she did the other After
looking at the injured fish she went to
the house, and procuring needle and
thread returned to the pond and took
three or four stitches in the fish, as a
surgeon, would with a man, and then put
it back into the pond. He recovered,
since which time none of them have been
sick, but if they become SO, l expect
them to call on the doctor again."

sent over in June. A contract was ar

two steamers have been employed for
it. The enterprise not having passed

attracted to a greater extent. There

will prove a difficult task for the COM
pany to establish this new enterprise
on a profitable basis. But the line be-

| A man who was looking for mex

his troubles the other day, and as hi
claimed to have visited thirty-fivt

attractions to me, whereas they could

Bite of a Hoo.

1t is serious thing to be bitten by
any animal, for even though there
may be no poisonous glands, the saliva
in the mouth of animals that bite is
always more or less poisonous, says
the American Cultivator. The bite of
the hog is more apt to be serious than
that of any other domestic animal
II requires skill and activity to handle
numbers of hogs without endangering
those who hold them. The hog is an
ominivorous eater and is not at all
particular about getting particles of
dirt or excrement with its food: Old
hogs, which are most apt to bite, often
destroy mice and snakes, and though
they get no venom in their mouth it
will poison whenever such saliva
touches abraded skin. No one who
has a sore on his hand should be called
on to assist in butchering hogs, as he
may be infected from contact with
the saliva without being bitten /.
In all cases OF bite or cut, wash of
antiseptec should be applied Diluted
carbolic acid in the proportion of
one to fifty of water is good, as is a
weak dilution of corrosive sublimated
in the proportion of one of the poison
to 1000 parts of water. These two
poisons thus diluted do no harm and
they will prevent poisons from work
ing in cuts and bruises of any kind
