A Sharp Trick.

The residents of one of the suburbs
of Patterson, N. j., seem to have been
victimlzed very adroitly by a Swedish
laborer, who predicted caterpillar
crop Of unusual dimensions and offered
to keep them away for consideration.
His prophecies were at first received
with ln3redulity and his prospects for
doing business looked bad until the
caterplllars began to arrive in large
numbers, and then he rapidly made
contracts with hOuseholders to remove
them, and commenced to acquire a
bank account. Now a boy whom he
employed and failed to pay says the
swede hired him and Others to go into
the woods and gather caterpillars at
5 cents quart, and that at night these
were sprinkled around where they
would be most effective in terrifying
the inhabitants.

At Bridgeport, Conn.,, three little boys
whom Willie Larkin did not know
"played INDIAN They compelled Will
lie, who is but s years old, to play the
pa)e-face captive, and as result of their
intense realism Willie may die.
Willie went out to play and he me,
three boys, who coaxed him to go to the
dumps on SeaYiew avenue. There the
boys built bonfire
Lets play Indian" they suggested.
Let's" assented the unsuspectlng
Willie. The three big boys drove a stake
in the middle of the bonfire. Then,
yelling, they swooped down on Willie,
seized him ard led HIM to the fire. The
little chap thought it was fine fun until
the three threw him into the fire.
Shrieking with pain and pleading for
mercy, Willie crawled out; the three
threw him in again. Then, frightened by
his piliful cries, they ran away. Willie
again crawled out, staggered home and
fell la faint. His feet, legs and hands
are frightfully burned.

DIVORCES ENDLESS CHAIN.
A Unique Way of Raising Money for an
OrphaRage.

Orphanage.
From Chicago comes the story OF the
latest chain. 1t has been started IN
that city, and it is thought will prove
as extensive as any that has been be-
gun heretofore.
The movement was made in the in
terest of an orphan asylum supported
bypriyate charity. The writer OF the
first letter was Chicago widow whose
four ex>hus bands are still living.
Comes of the letter were addressed to
each of the four. After the formal
beginning they read:
you will doubtless be surprised to
hear from me again, as when we part
ed, or the courts parted us, we agreed
never to write except on some m@tter
of business. This is matter OF busl-
ness. Before coming to it, however, L
cannot help but hope that your present.
marrige life is better and happier
than ours was. AS you may be aware,
| am interested in the struggle to
keen alive the Orphanage for Children
Whose Parents Have Been Divorced.
The home Is supported by voluntary
contributions, aud we have started
an endless chain.
| write to ask you to write to
your former wife or any other Cnat
you may have, andi turn ask her
to write to her former husband, and
also have her former husband to write,
and so on. Ask each one of them to
send US dime, and We hope IN this
way to keep the horne gong. L nave
sent out four series of letters. Also
ask your wife to write, in case she has
been married before.
One of the letters was to an ex-hus-
band who had married four times.
Two of his former wives were welded
again happily. He sent the 10 Genus
and wrote to the other wives. HIS
present wife, not having had a pre-
yiOus husband, sent her cents and
wrote, regretting her inability to con-
tnue the chain.
Three of these letters of the endless
chain have reached New York, and 1T
is thought that others may come
along. Some of them have reached
Dakota, and the colony there is SUBJ
Scrlbing literally to the Orphanage.

COTTON HAY AS FORAGE.
Experiment of Live wilkes County
Farmer.

Experiment. of Live wilkes County
Farmer.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Sims, prominent plant
err OF Wilkes county, has placed on ex-
hibition several bundles of cotton hay.
Mr.. Sims has tested the new forage by
feeding it to horses and cattle, and
they eat it with a relish. The hay rs
procured by cutting off the top of the
cotton weed, which has had such lux
uriant growth since the recent rains,
and which come too late to mature.
1t is argued that this upper growth not
only fails to mature, but is robbing the
lower portion of the stalk and sapping
the land of its growth>glving proper
ties, giving nothing in return in the
shape of staple, So, Mr.. Sims urges
that the farmers cut and cure it for
feeding purposes.

INSPECTORS GIVEN LESSON
Instructions Given Them In the New
Test for Oils.

INSTRUCTIONS UlTen lnem In the New
Test for Oils.
The oil inspectors of the state met at
the capitol IN Atlau'a last week for the
purpose of receiving instructions in the
use of the new oil tester prescribed by
Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens.
The new tester, which takes the place
of the old Taglabue instrument, was put
into use Friday last. 1t will change the
test from burning to fash test, and
will consequently force the oil companies
to ship grade of oil into the state which
is of higher fire test than that passed
heretofore.
State Chemist McCandless gave the in
spectors lecture on the subject and
made practical demonstrations of the use
of the new tester.
Before they left for home the inspect-
ors purchased a handsome dinner set
and presented it to Commissioner Stew
ems as testimonial of their esteem.

ton struck all had gotten away. The
report that the crew remained two
days later, but found it impossible to
save anything. The first landing was
made on a little island, with a front of
barren rocks. Next day the boats
again took to the water and proceeded
to Kamiguin island, where a landing
was made in the expectation that fight
ing would be necessary. So far from
this being the case, however, the
Charleston's men found a half savage

Later Lieutenant Macdonald started

or the valuable paraphernalia and con-
