A Nebraska man has invented n pat
ent COW for hunters. The invention
presents the perfect outward semblance
of a most psaceable and amiable COW.
but the fore legs and hind legs are in fact
the two pairs of legs of we men. They
are armed with guns and have Il plcnti-
full supply of ammunition. The patent
cow moves along like an ordinary harm
less animal until it is in the midst of a
lot of birds. when it comes open and
the two men inside blaze away. iorued
i'll the sides of the frame, at suitable
points, are windows or openings pro-
tected by outward swinging flap blinds,
and through these windows the sports
man in the rear may discharge his
fowling piece when the game has been
successfully stalked. For the firing Of
the hunter in the front of the dccOy
there is provided a downward swinging
portion, which includes the head and
neck Of the animal, SO that by simply
releasing Il small catch from the inside
of the framework this releases the
swinging front portion, which innmcdi-
ately drops by gravity and thus leaves
the sportsman free. Boston TRANSCRIPT.

vessel cost 81 500. Before the Bear can
reach St. Michael's the bay will be
frozen over. The vessel cannot winter
at st. MiChaels. as the ice would carry
il away. There is no harbor north of
tnalaska that does not remain frozen
until late in June. Boring Strait is
closed by ice in November and remains

Barrow are within six miles of the
point and eighteen miles off the for

Capt. MCGregOr of the steam whaler

narration Point have a supply station
at Herschel island to fall back upon.
While it will probably be necessary to
abandon the vessels | do not apprehend
that the crews will meet with anything
more than privations and hardships.

OUR BUTTER FOR EUROPE.
First Step in an Effort to Extend the Mar
ket for the American Product.

The first experimental expectation OF
butter from this country has just been made
from New York City, when the Govern
ment, through an agent sent by the Agri-
cultural Department., shipped three quar-
ters of ton Of selected butter for sale In
Europe. The result Of this experiment is
OF great Importance to the agricultural in
terests, as it is the first step in an effort OF
the Government to extend materially the
market for American butter and gain some
OF the trade with Great Britain In particu-
lar which Denmark practically controls
with considerable profit. An incidental
object is to determine what Improvements
are needed in transportation facilities.
Some butter Is now being sent abroad by
private firms, but it is alleged to be of in
ferior grades. Unsatisfactory storage IN
crossing the ocean and careleSsneSs In leay-
ing the shipments on uncovered piers ut
SOUTHAMPTON before being loaded into
freight cars, thus making the butter soft,
have further deteriorated its value in the
English market.
The butter sent comes from the Iowa
Agricultural College and creamery at
Windsor, vt. Subsequent shipments which
will be made during the summer at inter-
walls will be of butter from other places. 10
build up a high standard only the pest
grades will be shipped, and the butter will
be sold at the prevailing market prices.
The present shipment went on the steamer
St. Paul, and will be kept at a low tempera.
ture. Tho cargo Is made up of packages OF
different sizes to determine which is most
satisfactory. Department agent will
meet the ship at Southampton, England,
and take proper care Of the product and at
tend to it's sale. The appointment OF but
ter agents by the Department at New York
and Southampton to take care OF these in
tereSts IS possible.

How Habit Grows and Strangles.

Mr.. Spurgeon says that he saw, while on
visit to the gardens sof Hampton Court,
many trees almost entirely covered and
well-nigh strangled by the huge coils OF ivy
which were. wound about them like the
snakes about the unhappy LAGOON. There
is no untwisting the folds; they In their
giant grip are fast fixed, and the rootlets Of
the climbers are constantly sucking the life
OF the trees. There was day when the ivy
was tiny aspirant, only asking little aid
in climbing; had 1t been denied, then the
tree need not have become its victim, but
by degrees the humble weakling grew in
strength and arrogance, and at last it as
sumed the mastery and became the destroyer.
Just the same with the beginning or sin ;
the least little act Of disobedience, 1t may
be lie, then another, then something else,
and they become alarmingly frequent, and
each time little more wicked, until they
gain the mastery over US, and overwhelm
us. and at last drag our souls down to hell.
Every man is tempted when he is drawn
away OF his own lusts. and enticed. Then
when lust hath conceived, 1t bringeth forth
sin and sin, when it Is finished, bringeth
forth death. &C. W. Bibb.

A PRAYER for Gods Presence.

o Lord, have come into my closet and
shut the door, that may be alone with thee
for little. o wilt thou meet me and give
me sweet sense Of thy presence, and let me
know thou art near to hear the petitions l
bring thee. thank thee for thy love, so rich
and abounding, which yearns over me un-
ceasingly. thank thee for the tender SYM
pathy, which reaches down to all the varying
circumstances OF my daily life, bringing
needed help and peace; thank thee that
thou dost understand the desires and long
ings of my heart before have ventured to
express them in words. and that sometimes
thou dost answer before call. Bless me In
my home and in the conduct Of my family
duties. Bless the dear children thou hast
given me, and lead them in unerring ways
OF obedience and love, and hold them In right
paths. May they love thee and count thee
as their best friend and strive to please thee
in all they do, day by day. SO may our en-
tire household rejoice in thee, ,and find it our
supreme joy to follow thee in ways OF
praise and service for Christ's sake. Amen.
