The Old Hunting Coat.

A thing of stir canvas. dirt spotted and
torn;
Soiled corduroy collar; huge pockets
that tote
The game; and its fabric is crumpled and
worn;
Yet memories cling to the old hunting
coat.
ITS color of tan with the ground smoothly
blends
And rights not the timid and sharp
sighted game;
By delicate thread its o button sus-
ponds,
Untouched by the hand of the unseeing
dame.
On the sleeve a light feather seems des-
tined TO stay;
The scent of burnt powder around 1t
doth cling;
And its pockets onceal but a motley
array
OF pipe and tobacco, shells, matches
and string.
And many a night it has pillowed the
head
That rested iE peace meath a shelter
ing tent
That on some streams banks, tree-pro-
tected, was spread,
Where few but Dame Natures wild
creatures e'er went.
All. II 1t could speak, 1t would eagerly
tell
or long, breathless chase through the
thicket and thorns
IN pursuit of the elk that fought nobly
and well,
But whose antlers the old hunting coat
now adorns.
Or ~perchance 1t would whisper Of morn
ing's sharp chill
And rush-hidden boat In some Ike at
daylight,
And speak OF the silence, n cen of the
thrill
Tina 1T felt when the canvasback start
ed the flight.
Or yet it could speak of the favorits
camp,
Where the brook makes sweet music
and soft breezes blow;
And the odor Of frs and of wild flowers,
dew-damp,
And the leaping of trout where the
slender weeds grow.
The broadcloth may scorn It. the wooden
may sheer,
Aristocrats they, keeping always re-
mote;
Yet none of them offers tn comfort and
cheer
And happiness found in the old hunting
coat.

To Get Up in Time, and His Valet Sailed

New York World: Col. Charles Bor-
bur of Philadelphia and his valet are
on their travels. That is, the valet is
travelling. He is on a Hamburg-Am-
erican liner, bound for Germany. He
has no money. The colonel Is at
Mayors hotel, in Hoboken. ST should
think" said the colonel, that IL Torch
went through all his clothes carefully
he might amass as much as eight
cents. But that may be an over-esti-
mate. He is a bright fellow and a
good accountant. l hardly think he
VIII throw himself overheard. 1t hap
pened in this way. The colonel came
over from Philadelphia to sail on the
neutrality-suspicious. steamer Pennsyl-
vanla. She was advertised to leave
her Hoboken dock at 10 a. m. Satur-
day. Col. Borbur, while at Mayors,
formed the acquaintance of Fred
Torch, who attended to the hotel CT
gar stand. He wanted $40 a month
and all expenses paid to GO with him
to Berlin, thence to the Paris EXPOSE
ton, and thence around the world.
Torch agreed, and Col. Borbur engaged
two berths on the Hamburg boat.
Torch was early on board Saturday
morning; not so the colonel. The
colonel was sleepy that morning; be-
sides, he did not feel well. He turned
over in bed when he woke on Satur-
day morning and said, Hang the
steamer; there are others" And SO
he went to sleep again. When he
woke up he remembered Lorch. So
the colonel resigned himself to wait
for the Bismarck this week. In the
meantime he cabled a consolatory mes
sage to be handed to Torch on his
arrival, and also he arranged with the
steamship people on the other side to
take care Of Lorch until the Bismarck
and the colonel arrive.

extraordinary Surgical operation.

In May, 1890, n of the most re-
markable surgical operations on record
was performed by DR.. Lavelangue in
the Children's Hospital at Paris. 1t
was the case of an idiot child. Its
head had stopped growing since 1t was
four years of age, and was only one
third the normal size. Believing that
the idiocy was due to compression OF
the brain, the doctor divided the skull
longitudinally. and kept the edges Of
the bone from uniting. Fresh deposits
of bone took place. and the skull grad
ually expanded to almost Its proper
size. Then the intellectual facilities,
which had hitherto been those OF an
infant, grew stronger and stronger
every day, till at last the child was
as intelligent and healthy al any other
in France. Some of the most remark
able surgical operations have been per-
formed in connection with the brain
which Is now SO accurately mapped out
that a surgeon can tell exactly where
the seat OF mischief In the brain lies.
Should there be a tumor on the brain.
its exact situation can be located. and
then the skull Is opened and the NOR
bid growth removed.

more from squirrels than from rae
coons or muskrats. which are proven
bially so fond Of 1t. In places ON the
western frontier an extensive system OF
watching has had to be maintained at
times against this pest. One dainty
in late summer is the mushroom, OF
several varieties OF which they are
fond, and this reminds me Of a bit OF
unexpected sagacity in one Of the west
ern chipmnnks lately spoken OF In my
hearing by the artist and author, Ern-
est Seton Thompson. 1t appears that
this chipmunk depends for its ordin-
airy fall and winter fare upon the seeds
of the pinon pine. which 1t preserves
by storage in it's holes In decayed
stumps or underground. 1t happened
lately. however, that in a certain area
of the northwest the pinon crop was q
complete failure, and the ground squir-
rels were compelled to find something
else for their subsistence and winter
stores. In this extremity they turned
to the mushrooms, everywhere abund-
ant. and were busy during all the late
autumn in gathering them. They were
too wise, however, to store them I'M
foreground, where they would o have
rotted, but instead deposited them in
notches and crotches Of the lower
branches of the forest trees, where they
dried in the open air and so kept In
good condition to be eaten. Their
shriveling up and the shaking Of the
branches by the winds caused many to
fall, and these the squirrels Industrious
ly picked up and tried to fasten more
securely to the branches. This meth
cd OF providing themselves with winter
food implied the necessity Of their
coming forth from their underground
retreats, no matter how cold and
snowy the weather, whenever they
wanted something to eat, instead OF
having their larder indoors, as is usual
with them, and 1t would DO interesting
to know whether they actually did so
or whether they failed to profit, after
all, by their seemingly sagacious pru-
dence.

Arizona,s petrined Forest.

One of the most interesting and i'm
pressive of natural wonders Is the great
petrified forest Of Arizona, which COW
ers nearly 100 square miles. The gov
eminent explorers have christened it
Chalcedony Park.
The surface of the ground for miles
and miles around is covered with gi-
gantic logs three or four feet in diam
eter, petrified to the core. Many OF
them are translucent. Some are almost
transparent. All present the most
beautiful shades of blue, yellow, pink,
purple, red and gray. Some are like
gigantic amethysts, some resemble the
smoky topaz, and some are as pure and
white as alabaster. At places the chips
of agate for the trunks that have
crumbled, lie a foot deep upon the
ground, and 1t is easy to obtain cross
sections of trees showing every vein
and rel bark.
A bird's-eye view of the petriied for
est on a sunny day suggests a gigantic
kaleidoscope. The surface of the earth
resembles an infinite variety OF rain
bows. The biologists say this great
plain, now 5000 feet above the sea, was
once covered by a forest, which was
submerged for ages In water strongly
charged with minerals, until the fbres
Of the trees were thoroughly soaked
and transformed into eternal stone.
Many of the trunks are still packed in
a deposit of fine clay, which was left
by the receding waters, but the erosion
of the wind has pulverized much OF
the clay and carried 1t off in the air,
exposing the secrets that nature buried
under its surface. One great tree spans
a deep gulch forty feet wide. 1t lies
where 1t fell centuries. perhaps ages,
ago, and is a most beautiful specimen
of petrified wood. The rings and the
bark can be easily traced through the
translucent agate, and it is firm enough
and strong enough to last as many
centuries as 1t has already spent In its
peculiar position. 1t Is undoubtedly
the only bridge of agate in the world,
and alone is worth a long journey to
see. The Indians of the southwest used
to visit the petriied forests frequently
to Obtain agate Tor their arrow AND
spear heads, and the material was scat
tered over the entire continent by ex-
change between the different tribes
from the Isthmus Of Panama to the
Behring Straits. The great deposits
here explains where ali the arrow
heads of moss agate came from, and
other weapons and implements of SIM
liar material that are found in the In
dian mounds and graves of the central
and western states. In the stone age
the agate of the petrified forest was the
very best material that could be OBJ
tanned for beth the implements of war
and peace Of the aborgines. A scalp
ing knife could be made very easily
from one Of the chips Of agate and
could be ground to a very fine edge.
Many crystals were used for jewelry
and ornaments also.
