Nav wav to Catch Deer.

A Wisconsin man recently undertook
the novel feat of catching a deer by
the tail. While hunting he espied
fawn at a water hole. After it had
finished drinking it lay down by a
log. The farmer resolved to capture
1t alive If possible, and taking advan-
tage of the noise made by the cattle
going into the water hole to drink, he
stole cautiously up and seized the fawn
by its hind legs. In the struggle that
snsued he lost that grip, but managed
10 obtain one on its tail. This he held
during an exciting chase of quarter
of a mile. The underbrush that the
iawn then ran into compelled him to
relinquish his hold, and he had the
satisfaction of seeing the animal reioin

A new bicycle Improvement makes

rays the New York Journal. The COM
bination, II is claimed, develops ex-
reedingly high speed. The inventor,
NJ. Demange of Commercy, France, de-
.lares that by his plan the cyclist may
ride at a speed of from twelve TO NJ
teen miles an hour with no exertion at
Ill, except that required in guiding the
machine. The contrivance is In FORM
4 sort of a turbine arrangement, some
hing like a gourd followed out cut IN
CORES" and the "gores" turned 1T
tie on their axes. This turplhe Ia
placed on dual rods, vertically attached
10 the forward wheel of the bicycle. A
bar projects from the center OF the
handle bars outward, and to this is at
tached the top of the turbine. Inc
turbine revolves on its axis ana catches
enough wind to give the 1orWaru
wheel an added impetus. No matter
from what direction the wind blows the
turbine catches it, and by attachment
with the hub of the front wheel com
hunicates some of the force of the wind
to the wheel The turbine practlcaily
neutralizes the effect of a beam WIND
The twisting of the turbine in its rotary
motion works on the rods that attach
it to ratchet wheel which reVolves
about the hub of the front wheel.
These rods work up and down like the
piston rods of an engine, and In that
way accelerate the motion in great de-
gree. This invention is marked ue-
parture from those designed to give
motion to a bicycle without the rlder
aid. Gasoline, electricity and Pc
troleum have all been incorporated In
the different ideas which have taken
shape as bicycle impellers. The sail
ing bicycle is also an adaptation OF
the same idea, and has been fairly sue
cessful when under the control OF
skillful rider who is also master OF
the art of handling a sail. On inc
western prairies where the wlnd piows

This is based on the present values. or

seed would be more than twice as much
as IL Is now and could, by utilizing it,
be made to bring to the people of the
South over $200,000,000, over half the
value of the present cotton crop. He

REV. MILNoR JoNEs's LOSS.
I'esuH OF Misplaced Confidence IN .
Stranger.
New York 'rimes.)

The following warming appeared in a
religious paper Saturday:
"A letter of commentator of the Rev
Milnor Jones, of Vale Crucis, n c.,
from Bishop Cheshire, il i'm the hands
of n person who obtained it under false
pretences. Mr.. Joness only addresses
are Church Missions House, Fourth ave
nue. and Twenty-seeond street, New
York. and Vale Crucis, n. @. Should
amy letters be received by any one giving
a different address, please forward them
to the Church Missions House, in order
that the impostor may be detected. Mr.
Jones requests all contributions for Vale
Crucis, n. c., to be sent TO the Right
Rev. j. b. Cheshire, Jr,, Raleigh, n c."
This il the result OF chance meet
ing which Mr.. Jones had with stranger
i'm an uptown hotel a few days ago. Mr..
Jones is an Episcopalian clergyman from
North Carolina, and is the accredited
agent of the Bishop OF that State in the
work of raising in the North a fund for
maintaining mission Mt Vale Crucis.
He has been for a considerable time in
this city, and has collected a portion
Of the money required from philanthropic
and benevolent people here.
While sitting in his hotel the other day,
Mr.. Jones made the acquaintance of n
man who was apparently a guest at the
same hotel. After a conversation on
general topics, Mr. Jones told the
stranger OF his mission here, and the
latter became deeply interested, appar-
emily. When Mr.. Jones said that he
intended that afternoon to call upon a
lady who is noted for her good works,
the stranger became still more interested.
"Why, I'm going to call upon Miss
Blank myself this afternoon" he said,
for know her well, and / shall be only
too happy to present your cause"
Then, at the strangers suggestion, Mr..
Jones turned over to him his letter of
authority and commendation, which he
proposed to show to the benevolent lady
in question to, so to speak, ease the
way little for the clergyman's call
upon her. From that time Mr.. Jones
has seen nothing of the stranger or of
the credentials. These credentials, how
ever, Mr.. Jones fears, are being inn
properly used and he wishes to warn the
public against giving funds to the false

will speedily digest with ease and eat with
appetite, and your liver will reassert it's

can retire without a horrible dread that
