The Tables Turned.

Birds, we know, are sometimes train
ed to fire off pistols, as we'll as to per-
form other unusual feats, but it is net
often that a wild bird in the woods
shoots man with his own gun, as re-
lated in "South American Sketches
by Robert Crawford
A pavo del monte, a bird of Uruguay
not unlike the turkey, had been winged
by hunter. It fell to the ground, but
was at once on its feet and ran away.
Throwing his gun hastily aside, the
hunter started in pursuit, and a game
of hide and seek ensued.
III one of it's doublings and turnings
the bird passed over the gun, which
was lying on the ground, and its foot
CHANGED to strike against the trigger of
the undischarged barrel, the hammer
Of which, in the hurry Of the moment,
had been left at full cock.
There was a loud report. followed by
an exclamation of pain from the man.
The bird escaped, and the luckless
hunter had an ugly wound in the feshy
part of his leg to remind him for weeks
afterward of the adventure.

Hunting Marsh HOGS.

''Hunting wild marsh hogs is an ex-
citing but somewhat dangerous pastime
in southern Texas said G. L. Fielden
Of that state. .'In the swampy lands
along the gulf these wild hogs have
their habitat, and to hunt them it is
best to have several companions and
numerous dogs that understand the
ways of the ferocious porkers. The dog
will find the game for you, bay it and
hold it in check until you can take a
shot or two. Then everything depends
on your aim. If you succeed in pierre
ing vital part with your Winchester
bullet, all is over except dragging the
carcass to some convenient point where
it can be handled.
''But dangerous is your position if
your aim is a tri1e defective and your
shot only wounds the animal. Some
good and true shooting must be done
instanter then by you and your COM
rades, or else an Infatuated boar will be
rending you with his tusks. Ihave seen
more than one of these old bears shot
through the body 20 or more times and
in that condition fight man and dog
until several balls had been fred into
his head. :
SIN the marshes there is no possible
way Of escaping an attacking wild hog
except by killing him. The hunter can
make no Roadway through the tall,
rank grass and Doggy soil, and there
are no trees that offer him refuge. For
these reasons he is compelled to kill his
game when once it is flushed or become
himself a victim. In the fall of the year
these marsh hogs are fat, and their flesh
is of very pleasing flavor. Wash

BERMUDA ONIONS,
Reasons Why They Are So Popular
In American Markets,


In American Markets.,
''Nowhere perhaps in the world are
| onions grown to such state of perfec-
| ton as in the Bermudas, said whole
| sale produce merchant to a writer re-
Gently. 1.-THE balmy climate and rich
soil Of these islands, together with the
careful methods Of cultivation, have
combined to produce an onion that, for
size and favor, is peerless. The vege-
table will average from one-half pound
to one pound and half in weight. It
is always sound, juicy and crisp, and
these good qualities are so we'll appre-
ciated by Americans that about 30O, :
900 crates Of the onions are annually
shipped to the United States.
preparations to supply the markets
of this country every spring with the
vegetable are made early Id January,
and when gathered in March and April
the onions are carefully selected and
packed in crates, weighing, when filled,
100 pounds. The onions are then taken
to the general receiving wharf, where
they are subjected to a rigid inspection
by government officers If the quality
of the produce is not good and any i'm
perfect or decayed specimens are found,
the farmer is made to pick the goods
over and replace them. The onions are
then passed by the inspector, and when
the crates have been closed and marked
by the shipper they are loaded on board
steamship, which, after voyage Of
48 hours, lands them, principally in
New York. Here consignments of from
1000 to 5000 crates, each containing
$50 onions, are received semiweekly.
The vegetable is usually sold by the
weight and is worth about s cents per
pound retail. '-Washington Star.

In the early days in the northwest,
when the Hudson Bay company laid the
foundations Of great fortunes by trade
with the savages, and gun paid for as
many beaver skins as would reach to

and the gun held upright, it was alleg-

THE MAGIC LAMP.
Meath moonlit sky in the days gone by,
A. bo1 ~ I, 80 81 20

Meath moonlit sky in the days gone by,
As the ballads Of old relate,
When lad was bold and his lady shy
He would wait at the postern gate.
For she feared as he strummed her drowsy
+ lay
He would waken the sire that slept; ~
$50 she fastened her easement, hid in spray,
And out to the postern crept.
Now, know not that postern gate of yore,
see not the easements light,
But I've watched with the crowd at the dingy
door
That leads to q stage bedight. 49,.
The hoofs Of the managers horses stamp,
For they long for the great mans "Home!''
While the others must wait by the guttering
lamp
Like the poor at the gates Of Rome.
The fairy who danced in the spangled dress
Must change, for the night winds cold,
Though fear me she loses her comeliness
In her overcoat warmly rolled
It's sometimes mother that waits this same
Great goddess who charmed the shrine
And you hear with shudder her Christian
name
Pronounced as "Matildar Jine.'
And it's sometimes youth with big cigar
And hat at an evil rake.
It's youth who is feared by Matilda g ttmar -
Hence she comes for Matildas sake.
He is dressed in q vast Newmarket "sack,"
Where the scanning is overlaid,
And the goddess Familiarity calls him "Jack :"
For she isn't bit afraid.
And it's sometimes dear little gallery boy,
Who dreams in his dizzy heights.
1t would be the hope of his highest Joy
To speak to the girl in tights.
But the painted curtain falls, alas,
And the dancers fade from view,
So he waits in the glare of the stage door gas
To watch till his girl comes through.

PASSING OF THE NlGHTcAP.
Our Catarrhal Troubles Are Largely
Due to It's Abandonment.

Our Catarrhal Troubles Are Largely
Due to Its Abandonment.
.'H the American people would only
put on nightcaps when they go to bed,
there would not be near SO many cases
Of catarrhal trouble as there are now, =
said Chicago physician. He contin-
hed: 'It is we'll known that as ma
tion the percentage of catarrhal COM
plants is greater among US than in any
other nation in the world and that there
are more cases among men than among
women. The reason for this dispropor
ton is the absence Of nightcaps and the
habit Of smoking in the open air. Wo-
men. if they smoke at all, do not do so
in the open air, and if they do not wear
nightcaps they are in measure pro-
tected by their heavier heads Of hair.
Men, on the contrary, habitually wear
their hair close cut, are careless about
the temperature Of the rooms in which
they sleep, and while all the rest of the
body is carefully protected the head
may be exposed all night to zero, tenn
perature and that at the very time
when nature is at it's lowest ebb and
can do the least to protect itself. If we
would begin by nightcapping all our
children and induce them to keep up
the habit in later years. within a gen
GRAFTON or two catarrh would be com
paratively rare disease in the United
States. @s.'
"Englishmen and the people of the
continent know an American by two
things-his iberality with money and
his habit of hawking and splitting.
They cannot understand the latter, as
catarrh is an unusual complaint abroad
But nightcaps are not They are recog-
nized part of the night toilet through
out Europe, and to this is due the free
dom of the people there from distress
ing complaint. +.
'fWho ever sees a nightcap in this
country? But in England it is so much
a matter of course that its great writer,
Dickens, frequently mentioned it in or
der to give the proper touch of realism
to his creations. - Chicago Inter

For sheer, cool nerve and absolute.
inspired genius in dealing with men,
commend me to Clarence King, the
geologist, if story that is told about
him be true. Mr.. King, the tale runs,
was in the field all one summer with a
government expedition. The field hap
pened to be in the far west, and the
men he was compelled to employ as as
sistants were band of cheerful ruff
fans, half breed desperadoes and "greas-
err scamps. Bad as they were, they
worked well, and they were indispensa-
BILE.
One night one of them deserted. Mr.
King knew what that meant. It meant
stampede and an empty camp if the
deserter were allowed to go UNPUBLISHED
He chose companion on whose silence
he could depend, mounted and took the
trail. On the third day the deserter was
overtaken, captured and landed in a
convenient fort. The runaway had sub
sisted for the three days of his liberty
on such game and birds as he could kill.
His horse was white, and as he rode
often with prey slung to the saddle, the
animal was streaked and stained with
blood fS:-::=ss2 - $500 s..:.=
The man being in safe keeping, M.
King and his companion rode back to
camp leading the crimson streaked
horse, with all the deserter's belongings
strapped to his back. They spoke no
word of the missing man to his former
companions, but dismounted in grim
silence. The men endured the pangs of
curiosity as long as they could Then
they sent a committee to, Mr.. King to
make inquiries about the fugitive. Mr.
King gave meaning glance at the
blood stained horse and made answer
briefly.
"He is gone, he said impressively.
HE is gone where anybody else who
tries to desert will go too
Half breeds and "greasers" gasped,
and from that day on no one Of them
all ever tried to desert. Washington
