A Salty Tale.
NJ. QUAD.

The old saying that the way to catch
bird is to put salt on it's tail has been
verified by little Jimmy Below, who
lives in Naudain street. Jimmy was
sent by his grandmother for two bags
of salt for some domestic operation
already in progress. After an hours
absence he returned in a high state of
excitement, crying, 1--WE got the birdw
Sure enough, he had a sparrow clutch
ed tightly in his fist. But where's
the saltY' asked his grandmother.
ooh, the salt" said Jimmy. why,
that's around the corner in the middle
of the street"
Investigation showed that the boy,
returning from his errand, saw some
sparrows on the car track. He opened
one bag and poured out the contents,
which the birds proceeded to investi-
gate. Then he threw the contents of
the other bag on top of the sparrows,
submerging them sufficiently to cap
ture one before it could extricate itself
from the avalanche of salt.-Philadel-

PITTSFIELD. Mass. March 16.-A law
yer from Cha ham, y. Y, is now making
an attempt to prove viii which has been
missing since 1852, and which was found
last week in a secret drawer OF an an
tique desk. which has long been the prop
erty Of Mrs. Jane Ann WOIlsol, of this
city The will is that of Mrs. Lucinda
Young. who died in New Lebanon. y. Y,
in 1882. at the age Of one hundred years
Al the time OF her death no trace OF a
will could be found. Although her heirs
were sure she had executed one. Search
was made throughout the house, but the
missing paper could not be located. AS
there was no means Of ascertaining how
the centenarian wished to divide her es-
tate, an agreement was reached between
the heirs, sharing the property equally.
The desk in which the will was found was
part Of the share, which fell to Mrs. Wolff
son and in handling the piece of furni-
ture one day last week spring was touch
ed which disclosed the secret compartment
and the missing document. In the will
Mrs. Young bequeathed sCme of her prop

OF HAULING.
In New Jersey 1t Has Been Reduced
to a Minimum by the building
of Stone Roads.

Regarding the making of stone roads
the question is frequently asked wheth-
er the increased taxation does not
amount to more than the advantages
gained. State Commissioner Budd. of
New Jersey, reports that before the
construction of good roads the expense
Of carting a few pounds of produce to
market was so great that farmers,
where possible, found it much cheaper
to send by al or boat. But now they
are purchasing broad tread wagons,
which carry from 100 to 225 five-eighths
bushel baskets of vegetables and fruits,
while before they only carried from so
to so baskets, and are returning with
from three to five-tOn loads of manure.
On the ferry leading to the Philadel-
phia markets this year the passage of
2,440 teams per day was counted car
rying from three to five tons on each
load. Stone roads place the farmers
almost at the door of the consumer.
saving many Intermediates, all of whom
are forced to have n profit. His in
creased loads, the saving in ~transporta-
ton, the dispensing with the commits
sion man,, and the delivering of the
produce to the grocer or consumers
doors have resulted in saving I O the in
dividual farmer sums ranging from ten
to twenty dollars on each load.
