FAULTY FINANcIERING.

Failure of Suddenly Devised Plan
to Save Street Car Fare.
There is man somewhere on the
South side who knows more about the
theory and practice of finance than he
did few days ago and all he did to gain
the knowledge was to jump off street
car and pick up nickel which he saw
lying on the street, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Relating the circumstances later to a
friend he said:
"It's funny what fools some men are.
I saw that nickel after had paid my
fare, and my first thought was that if [
jumped off and picked it up it would
make up for the nickel had already
given the conductor. Having plenty of
time did so. OF course missed the
car which | had originally boarded and
paid my fare. When the conductor
came around on the following car I
surrendered my new-found nickel with
a serene and satisfactory belief that my
ride had not cost me anything, having
paid for it with the nickel found in the
street.
"Then began to figure little. The
more l tried to solve the problem in
mathematics the more deeply became
involved. AS an actual fact I had to
count my change before 1 discovered
that had not only saved nickel, but
that had contributed ten cents to the
company's Golfer and was still nickel
out of pocket

DR.. Richard E. Kunze, physician of
New York city, has just completed a
campaign of several months among the
insects of Arizona, and is so greatly
charmed with Colorado that he has de-
cided to take up his residence in this
state. DR.. Kunze talks in most enter

zona, and the peculiarities of insect life
in the far southwest.

1.-The tarantula hawk" said the
learned naturalist, sis one of the pc
culiar little animals Astounding in Ari-
IONA. The hawk preys upon the taran-
tula, hence his name. He is built for
hunting them, and he does it to perfec-
ton. You can see the hawks crawling
along the ground in search of their
prey. They have long legs and move
like lightning when tarantula heaves
in sight. In an instant the hawk
pounces upon the poor tarantula, and
before the victim is aware of the dan
ger the deadly weapon of the enemy
is implanted in his body. The hawk
SIMPLY deposits a poison inside the body
of the tarantula, which paralyzes him.
In connection with the poison he de-
posits AN egg, which proceeds to hatch
out, and a caterpillar is the result. The
young caterpillar feeds on the body of
the tarantula until he is ready to UNI
dertake housekeeping on his own ac-
count. There are two species of taran-
tula hawks, distinguished by the color
of their wings. A peculiar thing is that
each species has it's particular kind of

Mr.. Labouehere's sarcastic reference

Their titles appeal to the man who
has never been on familiar terms with
anything in the shape of a title before.
But the delight of knowing "a noble

of small loans and general sponging is
realized. One of the worst of the dis
reputable baronet species now in evil

Sat Down So Much That His Hind
Legs became Useless.
a large camel which was landed at
IIoboken a few days ago from the
Bremen line steamer Dresden had an
experience which probably never before
fell to the lot of .'ship of the desert"
He made the voyage in large box,
and as there wasn't room enough in it
fol any self-respecting animal the camel
sat down in sheer disgust. He sat that
way for days and days while the ship
rolled and made all sorts Of heavy
weather.
When the detected animal was finally
landed and tried to stand up, he couldn't
use his rear props at all. They had be-
rome paralyzed with their long stay in
cramped position. The camel wasn't
any good, it seemed, and, as big price
had been paid for him, there was gem
eral lamentation. The camel was sin"
on the lamentation, Such picture of
woe was never seen in Hoboken.
At last a genius suggested a radical
cure. The camel, by his advice, was
placed in a sling and hoisted up until
only his toes touched the ground. He
padded the air for spell with his fore
legs, and finally the rear props came to
life and joined in the exercise. They
lowered him to the floor, and, after he
had tested his rear legs somewhat gin
gerly, he was as good as new. But he
doesn't sit down any more. Once was
enough for him.

POWER OVER BRUTEs.
Gypsy who Fascinates Skunlxs,

Gypsy Who Fascinates Skunks,
Minks and Foxes.
Nordorf Breek, a gypsy, went to
Northwood, N. Y, year ago, and ever
since has amazed the natives by his
success in approaching wild animals,
even coming up with a fox, and hand
ling it as if it were pet dog.
Breek lives by himself in shanty
on the road to the old Pardy place, and
bluejays and squirrels, mink and rab-
bits gather about his door to feed on
the scraps that he throws to them,
OF to listen to his voice, which is SO pc
culiar that many Northwood men say
it makes them shiver. Ifanyone misses
dog in the vicinity of Northwood a
visit to Breek's camp usually reveals
the whereabouts of the brute, and five
cats are constantly hanging about anx-
ious for a word or caress from the
strange man, although they all belong
to families who feed them and pet
them.
Breek laughs when anybody asks him
about his animal friends, and the other

felt called upon to protest. Breek
picked the skunk up. Everybody drew
away hastily, but the expected conse-
quences did not come. Breek took the
skunk to the door and dropped it from
the stoop into the road. He came back,
purchased a side of bacon and some
cheese, and made his way up the road.
followed by the skunk.
The Northwood woodsmen would
never believe before Breek came that
foxes had gone to men for protection
from dogs on their trails, as foxes are
said to have gone to Thoreau. Now
seven persons have seen foxes seek
shelter with Breek. and there are no
skeptics.
It is believed that Breek's eyes are
largely responsible for his power over
animals. They are rather dark, full of
ustre, and direct in their gaze. While
not exactly fierce, they are rather men
acing. A dog, angry at child for hav-
ing stepped on its tail on the store porch
one day, started to snap at it. Breek
said something quickly, and the dog,
giving one glance at the mans eyes,
skunk away with its tail between its
legs.-N. Y. Sun.

of work it was observed that ON churn-

as his mistress did, and when it came

their hands to make living in these
times. Spare your arms and back as
much as possible and use your brains

may be attending to something else.

FLOWING IN SPRING.
Deepening Old Ground Should AL
ways Be Done Gradually.

Deepening Old Ground Should Al
ways Be Done Gradually.
Good crops are dependent upon the
blowing being done well. As it is rather
slow, heavy work, and in the spring is
usually hard on teams, it is always an
item to lessen the amount to be done as
much as possible. If the ground is well
plowed in good season under ordinary
conditions it is comparatively an easy
matter to get the seeding done in good
season. But it is important that the
work be done thorough. There should
be no cutting and covering, nor should
there be any skips. If stone or root
throws the pillow out, the team should
be stopped and backed up and the fur
row caught again.
With all spring crops it is an item to
stir the soil thoroughly and reasonably
deep. One of the essential conditions in
securing good growth and yield is to
have the soil in a fine filth when the
planting is done, and thorough blowing
is a great aid in getting the soil in
this condition.
In order to lessen the work of the
teams, and at the same time lessen the
cost of the blowing in many cases, it
will be found economical to use a some
what larger plow-one that turns a
furrow IA or 16 inehessin preference to
one that turns only 10 or IL. With a
large pillow and three good horses one
man will be able to do not only more
work, but better work.
It is a good plan to take every OPP
portunity to plow. Sod land can be
plowed when fallow land would be too
wet. 1t is an exceptional case after
this, when it can be considered good
economy to pillow old land when it is too
wet to work readily into good filth.
While deep stirring of the soil is
best giving not only better yield,
hut lessening the risk of failure-still,
if the blowing is delayed until spring
it should be done very little deeper
than the land has been plowed before,
as bringing up to the surface of any
great amount of fresh subsoil will prove
more or less detrimental. Deepening
old ground by blowing should nearly
always be done gradually. Louis

DRUNKEN BEES.
Bumblebees That Gave Evidence of
Feeling Remorse

Bumblebees That Gave Evidence of
Feeling Remorse.
T. L. Williams, in a note in the Jour
nal of Botany, points out certain facts
about bumblebees which will be of in
terest to some humans. He says that
these insects often get drunk. Their
Intoxicating tipple is the honey pro-
duced by the crowded flowers of the
capitulate heads of certain compositae
and dipsasaetae. When the stage of in
toxication is reached it is indicated by
rolling on the back, striking the legs
wildly in the air, and general helpless
ness.
The bees rapidly recovered from the
effects, and in most cases were eager
to repeat the debauch; but one indi-
vidual which had been shut up in a
yasculum with copious supplies of cen
taurea scabiosa manifested the next
morning praiseworthy remorse and
disgust, raising it's head and forelegs
as high as it could above the plants,
then hurrying away as soon as released.
The most dissolute species is the neuter
of bombus lapide1ius. The remorse
probably indicates the presence of the
headache, which in the highest animal
of all is so provocative of good resolu-

Narrowing to save moisture is thus

row, besides pulverizing and filming the
soil for the seed bed, is most efficient
in furnishing a soil mulch. The
spring-tooth harrow is in reality cul-
tivator and its action is similar to that
of the cultivator. When used as an in
Btrument to conserve moisture, the
teeth should penetrate to the depth of
about three inches, and to produce the
best effect the ridges left by it should
be leveled off by smoother which can
now be purchased as an attachment to
the harrow. The tillage of orchards
by the harrow is now practiced extern
sively, and nothing short of irrigation
will so nearly meet the demands of trees
for moisture, particularly upon the
heavier soils. A harrow having plow-
like action of its blades serves to pull

disc harrow may be beneficial or of
absolute injury. If the discs are so
set that they cover but a portion of
the surface of the mulch they leave
a ridge exposed to the action of the
wind and sun and the rate of evapora-
ton is greatly increased. The disc
should be set at such an angle that the
whole surface shall be stirred or COW
cred. Their chief value lies in their
cutting and pulyerizing action on clay
soils, but as conservers of moisture
they are inferior to the harrow with
plow-like action or the spring tooth.
Soils which need the disc narrower
should generally be gone over again
with some shallower tool. The mel
lower the soil the lighter should be the
work done by the harrow. On most
heavy orchard soils it will be found
necessary to use the heavy tools like
the spring-tooth and disc harrows in
the spring, but if the land is properly
handled it should be in such condition
as to allow the use of spike-tooth or
smoothing harrow during summer.
This light summer narrowing should
be sufficient to keep down the weeds
and it preserves the soil mulch in most
excellent condition. With such tool

THE WAR ON ANIMALS.

Many Birds and Beasts Are Rapidly
Becoming Extinct.
How extensive and rapid are the
changes occurring in the fauna of the
world may not, perhaps, be generally
realized. Race after race of animals
has disappeared from the globe through
the operation of natural causes, but
the chief responsibility for the destruc-
ton must be placed art the door of man.
The extinction of the great aux or
penguin, and the rytina, or Arctic sea
cow, is of comparatively recent date;
the bison is nearly on its lest legs-ex-
cept those the curators of the museums
will supply him with-and the walrus
has become very scarce.
Ten years ago peccaries were abun-
dant in Texas, but hogslxin goods came
into vogue, so cents apiece were offered
for peccary hides, and in five years
time the peccary had practically be-
come extinct. The famous halibut Is be-
coming more difficult to find with each
recurring season, and no longer is
Chesapeake bay the inexhaustible
source of supply of the succulent
oyster.
For years the danger of the elephant
becoming, extinct has been pointed out
by scientists on account of the immense
annual slaughter, and the British gov
eminent in India has at last taken
alarm at the decreasing numbers of the
animal and decided on instituting re-
pressiye regulations regarding their
slaughter.
Elephant hunting will no longer be
permitted as mere pastime, and due
supervision will be exercised over the
trade in ivory.
Seals, despite the restrictions placed
around their killing; fur-bearing api-
mails of all kinds; birds of gay
plumage; alligators, crocodiles and rep
tiles of every variety are being deci-
mated to satisfy the Unsuitable de-
nlands of fashion. Among the items
at one single sale in London recently
were the following: Six thousand birds
of paradise, 5000 Impeyan pheasants,
100000 humming birds, 100000 skins of
fur-bearing animals and $50. 900 possum
and 10000 monkey skins.
At the door of the sportsman also lies
scme of the responsibility for the ex-
tinction of animals. In South Africa
the zebra is no longer TO be seen in his
accustomed haunts, and the giraffe is
met with but seldom.-N. Y. Sun.

Light Bleaches Butter.

Light has an effect on the butter col
or, as I have found distinctly. The
dairy in which the butter is kept while
making or resting and for the final
working should be darkened by shades,
so as to avoid this effect Or the butter
should be protected by cover impreg-
nable to the light. The light has a
bleaching effect, and this is especially
marked when the butter is put away in
gashed or faky condition, by which
one side of the flakes is exposed to light
and the other side is i'll the shade. My
practice has always been to cover the
butter in the bowl with doubled tow

dull it may be.-H. Stewart in Country
