Notwithstanding her nose turned up, there

which may be considered to be competent

She was visiting in Brooklyn before the hot

of her golden, glorious opportunities.

A story Is told of Rutherford B.
Hayes that while attending school at
Kenyon college he was in the habit OF
taking daily walks in the country.
These trips were shared by two init
mate companions who were of fun
loving disposition, which frequently
got them into trouble. On one occa-
sion they more than met their match
in repartee in an old farmer whom
they met on the highway. iThe long
white beard of the farmer gave him a
patriarchial appearance, and while he
was approaching the students they
arranged to give him a ''jollying,"
which eventually terminated in the
discontinue of the youths One of
them doffed his hat with great respect
as he said: "Good morning, Father
Abraham" The second saluted the
farmer saying: Good morning, Father
Isaac Hayes, not to be outdone in
politeness, extended his hand as he
said: Good morning, Father Jacob"
Ignoring the outstretched hand of
Hayes the farmer replied: Gentle
men, you are mistaken in the mad.

BITES OF ANIMALS.
Why Their Severity Is Out of All Pro-
portion TO the Weapons
Which Infiict Them.

Apart from all concomitant danger
of blood poisoning, the severity of the
bites of fesh-eating animals is out of
which they are inflicted. The teeth,
even of the largest carnivora, are
merely the 'spearheads;" but the
force which works" these ms IL
ments is prodigious. 1t seems as or
the moment the animal threw a.. ITS
bodily energy into the combination. of
muscular action which we call a
bite" In most cases the mere shock
of impact as the animal hurls itself
on its enemy is entirely demoralizing
or infiicts physical injury muzzled
mastiff will hurl man to the ground
in the effort to fasten its teeth in his
throat or shoulder. Then the driving
and crushing force of the jaw muscles
is astonishing. The swapping power
of an alligator's jaws is more or less
ineligible. They are long and fur
nished with u row of pointed teeth
from end to end. But the jaws of a
lion, leopard, tiger, otter, ferret or
baboon are short, and the long and
pointed teeth are few. Yet each OF
their species has biting power which
in proportion to it's size is almost in
credible.
Sir Samuel Baker, who had long
and varied acquaintance with the
bites of the carnivora, noticed that
the tiger usually seized an Indian ma
tive by the shoulder, and with one
jaw on one side and the other on the
other bit clean through chest and
back. THE fatal wound was the bite,
which, through back and chest, pene-
trated to the lungs" Europeans are
killed by the tigers bite as well as
lacerated by the claws. In nearly all
cases the bite penetrates to the lungs
This kind of wound is characteristic
of the attacks of many of the felidae

Next obtain four large needles and
stick these four pieces of cork on to

on to the circular piece of cork, as

Now glue or gum to one side of each

THE APPARENT REASON.
She Readily Accounted for the Con-
Atnnt Wearing of the
HalOs.

Dotty sat on stool beside her mother
looking at the pictures in an old church
book; There were angels and cherubim
and harpsts galore, and in them the child
found much to interest her. The last pic.
ture in the book was of dozen or more
angels floating on the clouds. Above the
head of each shone the symbolic halo. Those
halos bothered Dotty. She had never seen
such head dress and she was perpleXed
After minute 5 thought she held the book
up to her mother and said: See mamma,
the ladies what's got wings and funny things
on their heads
The, mother, looked. "Those are angels,
DEAR she said.
And what's the funny rings on their
heads, mammal" the child asked.
Those are halos, Dotty."
Does they wear them always. mamma ?
Does all angels wear them?"
Yes, Dotty. All angels wear them and
they wear them all the time"
When they's in the house?"
Yes, Dotty."

Hon. William Minton, of Butler coun~

civil war: One bitterly cold night,
while doing picket duty he was or
dered to relieve comrade who had
been on continuous duty for several
hours, during which time he was with
out food. Returning to his tent the
hungry soldier was filled with rage
to find his rations, which he had sup
posed to be safely hidden, missing, not
even a crumb being left to satisfy his
keen appetite. He somehow conceived
the idea that Mr.. Minton had COM
mitted the foul crime, and in his anger
he rushed to him and demanded his

long shaft with cutters at one end.
The gun remains steady, while the bar
enters into the gun at the muzzle, and
turns at the same time, thus cutting
what are called spiral grooves
throughout the length of the bore of
the gun. This rihing is done so as to
give the shot or she'll, when the gun is
fired, twirling or rotary motion,
which prevents it from tumbling end
over end, and causes it to keep pointed
in the right direction. The shot or
she'll (projectile) is long, and has cop
per band fitted on its rear end. When
the gunis fired, this copper band, being
softer than the steel of the gun, enters
into the grooves, is turned by them,
and gives the projectile spinning mo
tion during its flight.
