I-o-Scn EvnCCr.

More than the hunger after bread,
more than the frenzy Of love or hatred,
the poison-hunrer overpOWers every
ether instinct, and even the fear of
death. In Mexico, the surgeon of the
Second ZouaveS was one night aWak-
cped by the growing of his spaniel,
and thought he saw a man crawling out
Of his tent. The next day the captain
informed the company that some fellow
had entered the hospital camp with
burglarious intent, and that he had in
structed the sentries to arrest or shoot
all nocturnal trespassers. About a
week after the doctor was again awall-
encd by his dog, and, lighting match,
he distinguished the figure of a large
man crawling from under his table car
rying q large book. He called for him
to stop, cooking his pistol at the same
time, but the fellow made q rush for the
door, and at the same moment was
fioored by a ball that penetrated his
skull. He lived long enough to confess
his desperate enterprise. His regiment
had been stationed at Algiers, where
he learned to smoke opium, and having
exhausted his supply and his financial
resources, he felt that life was no long
CT worth living, and resolved to risk
it in the attempt at abducting the doc

THE CACkl-iNG HEN.
This Poet Cn::s iIcr the Greatest Bless
ing OF Ail to Men.

ing OK All to Men,
We have read of Maud on summer
day who rakcd, barcfooted, the new
mown hay; we have read Of the maid in
the early morn who milked the cow wit h
the crumpled horn; and we've read the
lays that the poets sing of the rustling
corn and the flowers of spring; but of
all the lays of tongue or pen there's
naught like the lays of the Iowa hen.
Long. long before Maud ralted her hay,
the Iowa hen had begun to lay, and ere
the mlkmaid stirs a peg, the hen is up
and has dropped her egg. The corn
must rustic and flowers must spring if
they hold their own with the barnyard
ring. If Maud is needing q hat and
gown, she doesn't hustle her hay to
town; she goes to the store and obtains
her suit with basket full of fresh hen
fruit; if the milkmaids beau makes u
Sunday call, she doesn't feed him on
milk at all; but works up eggs in Gus
tard pie and stutfs him full of Il chicken
fry; and when the old man wants n
horn. does he take the druggist load
of corn? Not much! He simply robs a

the husband fingers there. she watches

eggs, and eggs she'll hide till she gets
enough to stem the tide. Then hail, all

HOW TO HIVE BEES.
Some of the Methods in General Use
Among Beekecpcrs.

Once the bees have clustered, the
operation of getting them into the hive
is not so formidable as it would ap-
pear. Like every other operation in
the working of the hives, the insects
must be handled cautiously and gently.
The hive must be ready beforehand.
The frames should have foundation
strips fastened to the top as starters
for the bees to work upon, and to make
sure of them stopping in the new abode
many beekeepers give them comb
from the parent hive containing brood
and honey.
An ingenious device used by some of
our beekeepers for catching swarms is
described as follows by Prairie Farmer:
To make it, get forked stick, bend
the forks together in the shape Of a
hoop and just large enough to go into
an ordinary-sized coffee sack (or other
open material that will not smother the
bees), then fasten it to the mouth of
the sack. Bend the stick near the fork.
For convenience cut the stick in two
near the fork and fasten the two parts
together again so that they can be
easily taken apart Shake the bees
from the comb into the sack, turn it
over and no bees can escape. Carry
them to the hive, take the cover Oft and
gently lay the sack on the top Of the
frames, so bees can crawl out Of the
sack down into the hive.
Some people merely place the hive on
the ground and put a wide board before
it. Then cut off the branch to which
the swarm is clinging ard bring the
whole 10 the front of the hive. When
the bees are brushed OFF on the beard
they will usually enter the hive pre-
pared for them without much trouble.
Others brush the bees off the branch
into a basket, box or tim dish, and hive

Wells are often dug in depressions. the
idea being that in such places springs
Of water are most apt to be found But
if so dug the we'll should be stoned and

tiles Of absat s22B 0S8 es0, against Sl78, 1885,

September in which manufacturing liza.

about SIS, 800, 0s0 in the whole year were in

clearing house exchanges was S437 per
81 900, against IS 25 last year and S639 in
1893.
The average of defaulted liabilities per
firm in business was sl90.57, against $l45
last year and $3.50 to in 1893. Detailed
monthly statements are also published for
tho last quarter of the year 1893, showing
commercial liabilities amounting to $A,-
100000.
The year closes with an epidemic Of fail
ures mainly at the west, and in banks,
loan and trust companies, or concerns de.
pendent in them. Tho action of the clear
ing houses in various places indicates no
want of confidence, and several banks
which have failed will be enabled to pay
in full, but disclosure of unsoundnsss in
few widely known Institutions, in the
abnormal state of popular feeling after an
excited contest on monetary issues has
caused distrust and suspicion where 1t is
frequently undeserved.
There has been no monetary pressure to
cause trouble, nor have important west
ern products declined in value. There has
evidently been too liberal assistance given
by some fduciary concerns to speculative
operations. No drain on eastern funds
has resulted since the first alarm at two
large failures, and the money then sent
has all returned. Failures often grow
more frequent as annual settlements ap-
prOach.
Holiday dullness has been intensified
by the failures and the efforts of combina-
tons to make new arrangements. With
iron, coke, wool, cotton and hides all
somewhat lower there is almost universal
confidence that business will soon become
larger and safer than before for long
time, and several large establishments,
among them the Yonkers Carpet works,
which employs 1000 hands when full, and
the Maryland Steel company, will now
start operations.

WILD BOAR AGAINST TIGER.


The Former Did About All the Fighting
and Remained Master of the Field.
The wild boar never knows when it Is
whipped. In India recently Colonel G. Fl.
Trevor saw q boar fight tiger, and he
tells about it in The Badminton Maya
zine The fight was pulled off in pit 10
yards In diameter, with a sanded floor and
10 foot walls. Several trapdoors served
as entrances through which to Introduce
the animals. A trail of grain through one
of these doors served to decoy 2-year-old
boar into the arena. A tiger, nearly full
grown, that fsr year had lived an inof-
fensive existence In cage, was forced
down plane from another door, and the
two beasts were together.
The tiger wanted to get away. His head
hung down like whipped dogs and his
tail dropped. The fight was apparently
going to be fizZle when the natives be-
gan to throw things at the tiger. Then
the beast began to growl. Suddenly the
boar Owed at him. The tiger lcaped into
the air, and the boar rushed underneath
and went half dozen feet beyond. 1t
puzzled the boar Immediately to have the
tiger get away from him in that way, but
he turned and made for the tiger again.
Three times the tiger leaped above the
boar, but the fourth time the boar threw
up his head and tho tiger got rip across
the ribs with the tusks that drew blood.
Then the cat turned on the pig grabbed
him by tho nape of the neck and shook
him as a sohoolmaster shakes a small boy.
This done, the tiger dropped the boar and
walked away. The tiger had merely in
tended to punish the little beast,
The boar got his breath and recovered
somewhat from his dizziness, and facing
the tiger again made for him just as II
the tiger wasn't several times bigger.
The tiger eluded the charge easily. Then
u trapdoor was opened and the tiger bolt
ed through 1t at full speed, leaving the
boar wild for fight.

THEIR FOSTER FATHER.
How q Dog Looked After a Brood Of
Young Chickens.


Young Chickens.
As the story goes, the mistress Of dog
is also the keeper of hens. One of these
was sitting upon a "clutch' of IL eggs,
and Don, the black and tan, soon became
very curious to know why she staid in the
barn so closely.
The dog, as 1t appears, had formerly
been given to teasing the hen, snatching
her food away from her and otherwise
making himself torment, but this inter-
course had gradually turned into friend
ship, and the two would sometimes be
seen lying and squatting side by side in
the sun on bit of carpet on the back
porch.
During the three weeks that the hen sat
on her eggs Don used to pay daily visits to
the barn, and sometimes he would stay
with her by the half hour.
Then the chicks came out of their shells.
Don was intensely interested. All day
long he scarcely left the barn. The next
morning when the hen stepped off the nest
and with cluck called her brood after her,
Don followed.
The hen fell to scratching, and the fluffy
chicks darted hither and thither, picking
I'D the tidbits which the mother had I'M
covered.
Good" said Don to himself. II can
help in this business" And to the terror
of the chickens, he ran in among them and
began turning up the soil at lively rate.
Then he sat down and waited
The mother hen called back the chicks
to the newly scratched earth, and soon
they picked it clean. Then the dog took
another turn. And so the good work pro-
cceded, to the great delight Of all parties.
