Lot of Q Maine Game Warden.

Game Warden Herrick of Eddington,
Me-, is confined to his house on account
of a wicked joke which some boys played
on him out at Lake Chemo. They have
been logging deer around the lake all
the fall. When Herrick heard of it, he
went out recently to shoot the dogs,
carrying a rife which was made for .38
short cartridges. While he was in camp
eating his dinner the boys extracted
his box of .S8 short cartridges and put
a box of .38 long in its place. That aft
ernoon Herrick saw hound come
down to the lake on deer's track, and
hastily threw in a cartridge to shoot.
When he snapped his rifle together, the
.38 long cartridge stuck and exploded,
filling Herrick's face and eyes with
burned powder and fragments of the
brass shell. He will not be able to 20
out until next year.

Medicine For Profanity.

a son OF L. Taplin was using profane
language on the school grounds. So he
put quassia powder in the child's mouth
as punishment. The powder proved
to be nauseating, and the boy went
home very sick. The father was offended
at the unusual method of punishment
used, SO he went to the schoolhouse and
thrashed the MISUNDERSTANDING Spokes-

CHAPTER XXX.
A THIEF.

My new master was an unmarried man
He lived at Bath, and was much engaged
| in business. His doctor advised him to
take horse exercise, and for this purpose
] he bought me. He hired stable a short
distance from his lodgings, and engaged a
man named Filcher as groom. Ny mas
ter knew very little about horses, but he
treated me well, and 1 should have had a
good easy place but for circumstances of
which he was ignorant He ordered the
best hay with plenty of oats, crushed beans.
and bran, with vetches, or rye grass, as the
man might think needful, 1 heard the
master give the order, so l knew there was
plenty of good food, and thought 1 was
well off.
For few days all went on we'll l found
that my groom understood his business
He kept the stable clean and airy, and he
groomed me thoroughly; and was never
otherwise than gentle. He had been an
ostler in one of the great hotels in Bath
He had given that up, and now cultivated
fruit and vegetables for the market; and
his wife bred and fattened poultry and rab
bits for sale. After a while it seemed to
me that my oats came very short; 1 had
h11f h-o
instead of oats, of which there were very
few; certainly not more than quarter of
what there should have been. In two or
three weeks this began to tell upon my
strength and spirits. The grass food,
though very good, was not the thing to
keep up my condition without corn.
However, l could not complain, nor make
known my wants So it went on for about
two months; and 1 wondered my master
did not sea that something was the mat
ter. However, one afternoon he rode out
into the country to see a friend of his,
gentleman farmer, who lived on the road
to Weels
This gentleman had very quick eye
for horses; and after he had wecomed his
friend, he said, casting his eye over me-
at seems to me, Barry, that your horse
does not look SO we'll as he did when you
first had him; has he been well?"
Yes, believe So" said my master; "but
he is not nearly so lively as he was; my
groom tells me that horses are always dull
and weak in the autumn, and that must
expect it."
Autumn, fiddIesticks!" said the farmer.
"Why, this is only August; and with your
light work and good food he ought not to
go down like this, even ifit was autumn
How Go you feed him?"
Ny master told him. The other shock
his head slowly, and began to feel me
over.
81 can't say who eats you corn, my dear
fellow, but l am much mistaken if your
horse gets it, Have you ridden very fast?"

The municipal authorities Of Paris
were recently engaged in the guppres-
sion Of an altogether novel form Of food
adulteration which is assuming phe-
nomenal proportions. Real oysters are
expensive in Paris, and 50, with the OBJ
ject Of suiting slender purses, artificial
oysters on the half shell have been in
vented, which are sold at 20 cents a
dozen, and they are 50 cleverly made
and look SO nice and fresh that once
lemon juice or vinegar has been added
they cannot be distinguished from the
real article, especially when white wine
is taken in connection Herewith. The
only genuine thing about these oysters
is the shell, the manufacturers buying
secondhand shells at a small cost and
fastening the spurious oyster in place
with a tasteless paste. The municipal
laboratory has not yet proclaimed the
ingredients of which these bogus oysters
are composed, but has announced that
they are of harmful character.

died a few days ago and has gone to

The mayor and corporation of Kings
ton-on-Thames, near London, have the
credit of starting an altogether novel
method of dedicating public institutions.
Invited to preside at the opening of the
new public swimming baths, they ap-
peared during the first part of the cere-
mony in their state robes, and then,
withdrawing, suddenly presented them
selves to the astonished gaze of the pub
lie in the less generous costume Of bath
ers and proceeded to open the bath in a
practical form by plunging into the
water, the portly mayor being the first
to take header, then his town clerk,
and after that the - aldermen. 1t is
stated that the spectators cheered them
selves hoarse.

Queen Wilhelmina of Holland has a
new sultOr in the person of Prince Will
liam of Wied, just p years old, who is
at the present moment a lieutenant Of
the magnificent cavalry regiment of
Gardes du Corps at Potsdam, in the
splendid uniform of which he looks so
handsome and dashing that he has be-
come a serious rival to Prince Harold of
Denmark in the graces of Queen Will
helmina. Indeed there seems to be an
impression in Dutch court circles that
he has succeeded in cutting Prince
Harold out and that he is destined to
become the king consort Of the Neither
lands when Wilhelmina attains her ma
jority next year. AS far as money is
concerned he is badly off, being merely
one of the younger sons Of probably the
poorest of the mediatized families of
Germany.

Dona Elvira the runaway daughter
of Don Carlos, Is now in Madrid, hav-
ing entirely recovered her health, and
proposes to spend the winter in Tangier.
She has never been in the United States
since her flight with the painter Folchi,
and the story about her being engaged
at dressmaking in Washington for a
livelihood is pure invention. Up to a
short time ago she was living at st.
Moritz, in Switzerland, and it was there
she instituted legal proceedings for the
recovery Of her share in her dead moth
er's fortune, which the pretender lille
gally detains on the pretext that by his
disowning his daughter she has become
legally dead and incapable of holding
or receiving property. In spite of this
she is well provided with funds, abso-
lutely refuses all attempts to induce her
to enter convent and announces her
intention Of enjoying life, being in no
wise contrite or repentant.

Gold by the Yard.

The beating of the innumerable lit
tie square pieces of gold which are
used to cover domes and signs, and 80
on, forms q distinct industry IN the
gold trade, which employs large
number of hands and requires no
small amount of skill.
The long low building in which the
work is carried on is filed throughout
the day with the sound of hammers.
On every side little boxes containing
tiny rolls of gold are to be seen.
which, although only measuring an
inch and half in length, are each
worth about $50. The gold is re-
ceived in bars one-eighth OF an inch
in thickness, an inch in width and
weighing 240 penny-weights. This is
rolled out into ribbon thirty yards
in length. l..
1t is then given to the workmen in
strips measuring seven yards, each OF
which is cut up into 1S0 pieces. These
are now ready to be beaten out by
hand. They are placed protected by
fine skins) in a tool known as the
"clutch, "and are thoroughly pounded
out on great granite block set In the
ground in such way that there is alb
solutely no vibratory movement. The
process is repeated several times, the
gold as it spreads being continuously
subdivided until it is of the exact di.
mensions required.
The skins in which the gold is
beaten are so delicate that they will
tear as easily as paper, nevertheless
they are of 80 6ne quality that they
will Withstand the continual hammer
ing for several years. The gold, which
is finally beaten down to 200, O00th OF
an inch. is rubbed with "brine" be.
fore being placed in the skins, in order
that it shall not adhere to them.
Easy as this work of beating out the
gold may seem, it is in reality an art
of q very delicate description. The
workman must know to nicely pre-.
cisely how hard or gentle the blows OF
his hammer must be and also the
exact spot on which they should fall.
Accordingly, a very superior class OF
men are employed in the business

progress OF the telephone, foreign cable,

which the Government is interested.
Concerning the Antitrust law, he says
that the restricted scope Of its provisions, as
construed by the courts, makes amendments
necessary, II any effective action Is expected
from the Department Of Justice Besides,
he adds, the fund at the disposal Of the At

Attorney General Harmon expresses his
satisfaction at the result, so far as obtained,
of the new salary system which displaced
tho old fee system on July OF the present
year. A very large reduction Is shown In
every one of the items which would. natur-
ally be affected by the fee system. The fees
for United States marshals, for instance,
show reduction for the year OF about $780,
