To Prevent Muddy BARNARD.

Now come to the only practical
way know of for making decent
barnyard-that is, to pave it with cob
blestones when they can be had with
out too much trouble. The stones
should be, we will say, about six inch
es in thickness. They should be laid
with great deal of care and the inter-
stices filled with sand. The stones
should be pounded down solid, even
and smooth as may be with a heavy
wooden maui. Such a pavement will
cost something, it is true, but if put in
right it is there to stay for all time
The manure can be cleaned off, as often
as necessary, any time in the summer,
and then there can be no mud tramped
up.
1t will take about five loads of stone
and sand for each square rod of surface.
A yard, five rods square, will take 1875
loads and take a man two weeks to lay
it good In places where stone cannot
be had the Eext best thing to do is to
make a plank floor over the entire yard.
&C. P. Goodrich in Hoard Dairyman.
When a sheep is year old, two large
additional teeth appear in the front
part of its lower jaw According to
English law. when these teeth appear
the young animal is no longer lamb,
but sheep. At years old the sheep
gets four large teeth in the middle of
its lower jaw. At years old it has six
large permanent cutting teeth, and at
years eight. When it is very old, its
teeth begin to drop out, and those that
remain are long and round like shoe
pegs.

4 Valiant Invalid.

Huron County, Ohio, twenty-five
years ago hoasted resident named
Jedediah Croncc, one of those hale IN
valids who sit all day at south win
dows, reading, while their wives do the
work.
One day Jedediah grew queruous.
He had "such distress in his stom-
ach Nothing solid or liquid relieved
him, but when the hollow-eyed wife
suggested apple dumplings he folded
his hands resignedly and sighed. On
the strength of that Mrs. Cronce
prepared twelve large and luscious
dumplings.
With much complaint the suffering
farmer drew his chair to the board,
tucked napkin under his chin, and,
after a fault-finding grace, attacked
the dumplings. Brown and steaming !
One by Que they disappeared, with
hungry-cved little Sammy looking on,
too wise to ask for a portion. As he
saw the eleventh sent below to mitl-
gate his sire's distress" he slipped
from his CHAIR and sided around the
table to where the invalid sat
Papa" he pleaded, 'can't we have
jus one apple dumplin'?"
The old man waved his hand
Run away, child! Papa's sick. -

Sudden Destruction Of Birds.

The long semi-annual migrations Of
birds are attended by numberless per
lis and great loss of life. A recent
dispatch from Baton Rouge, La., af-
forded a striking instance.
On Friday morning, the dispatch
said, early Tisers here witnessed pc
culiar phenomenon; a shower of dead
birds fell from a clear sky and literally
clutteTed the streets. They were
ducks, catbirds, wOodpeckers, and
many birds of strange plumage, some
of them resembling canaries, but all
dead. They fell III heaps along the
thoroughfares
The most plausible explanation of
the strange windfall, the sender of
the dispatch thinks, is that the birds
were driven inland bya recent severe
storm on the Florida coast. Doubtless
they we're caught by some sudden
change of weather while they were
migrating at great height, perhaps
several miles above the earth.
Some idea of the extent of the show
er may be gained from the fact that
in one avenue children picked up MS
many as 200 birds.

Sex of ShOplifters.

Why is it that nine-tenths OF the
shoplifters arrested during the holt
day season, and at all other times of
the year, for that matter, are women?
Are the women more dishonest than
men? Nobody will admit that they
are. 1t must be that men are better
able to Withstand temptation. The
nicknacks displayed on bargain days
have no attractions for the average
man, and even though he were thief
at heart he would not take the trouble
to steal trifes such as are dear to the
heart of nearly every woman. Still
the men arrested for stealing far out
number the women who are accused of
similar crimes, and that ought to be a
satisfaction to the gentler ex.-Cleve-

Trolley Riding in Paris Sewers.

The main sewers of Paris are pc
riodically cleared by means of scrapers
carried on boats or cars. These con-
yeyances are also used for conveying
visitors through the large sewers under
the Rue de Rivoli aud the Boulevards
Sebastopol and De Malesherbes. These
expeditions take place fourteen times
n year, in spring and autumn, and
about l, 400 visitors are admitted year
ly. Until 1894 these cars were drawn
by men, but the labor and expense
were found to be SO excessive that now
the traction is done entirely by cleo
trio motors, taking currents from ac-
cumulator batteries on the boats or
cars. Boston Transcript.

A Unique Album.

Thomas Jefferson, son of Joseph
Jefferson, the distinguished comedian,
arrived in Baltimore recently from
Washington with a singularly inter-
esting autograph book. 1t is not that
the book is SO unique for the famous
names it includes in its pages, but that
it contains the thumb marks of sew
eral persons prominent in the politi-
cal and dramatic histories of the coun-
try.
President and Mrs. Cleveland's
thumb prints appear in the book and
are striking examples of the singular
difference that exists between thumbs,
for it has been proved by scientists SO
interested that there are no two
thumbs in the world possessed of SIM
liar marks In the Presidents print
the lines of the thumb are bold, posi-
tive and lengthy. 1t is near the first
+ Joint of the member that the circular
lines begin to appear In Mrs. Cleve-
lands print the lines also appear firm
and bold, but the circular lines are
much higher up toward the tip.
The Hon. Daniel Lamont, secretary
of war, has impressed his thumb upon
one page of the book, and his print is
strong and full of character 1t
typifies candor, we'll mixed with de-
liberation and discretion and jovial
appreciation of the good things of
this world.
In the play of 'Pudd'nhead Will
son" murderer is detected by his
thumb print, upon which means OF
positive identification the hero of the
piece is an enthusiast This has been
suggested by a scientist as the best
and most certain way of identifying
criminals and upheld rs far more sim
pie and direct than the Bertillon
system now in general use
throughout this country. Constant
experiment has demonstrated that
the marks on the thumb never change
from infancy to old age. These marks
are impossible of imitation, because
they are too complicated in design
and it is impossible to destroy the
marks on the thumb except by ampu-
tation. The use of the thumb print
in connection with signatures is al
ready being advocated in eastern
states.
Mr.. Jefferson is an enthusiast Oh
the subject OF the thumb print and its
possibilities and Importance in bust
ness transactions. Such is his ear.
nestness that he has become known
among other theatrical business men
as sort of crank. An advance
agent, speaking of his enthusiasm re-

Much interest is manifested in the be-

Clemmons The Gould family is silent upon
the matter and it is not known whether or
not they oppose it. If Howard Gould mar
ries against the wishes of his brothers and
sisters, his share of his fathers fortune. in
accordance with Jay Goulds will, will be
reduced one half, and this would in his
case, amount to about S5,O0O,O0O. Miss
Clemmons is u very beautiful and charming
woman. Her name, off the stage, is Viola
Dayan. She was born in Illinois, but lived
for some years in San Francisco, where she
was one of the most beautiful women who
were prominent in high social circles. As an
actress she was not a great success. There
can be no doubt that Howard Gould is very
much in love with her, and the match will
be purely a love affair.
