A Hnmnn Paradox.

One often hears an amusing para
dox-such as brass tin whistle going
around a square, home whitewashed
terra Gotta, and IAN awfully nice"
thing. But it is not a common occur
renee to come across a "black white
man." and yet this phenomenon is to
be seen almost any day in New York.
The gentleman is said to be colored
minister in the city, and although in
the distance he bears the outward re-
semblance of white man-more espe-
cially on account of his pallid features
and gray white hair-he is unmistak-
ably of the colored race, and what is
not the least remarkable is that in
consonance with his paradoxical ap-
pearance he is wont to relish "hot ice
cream puffsr'-New York Times.

BIRD DOGS.
Some of the Almost Human Work
These Clever CANNES Perform.

Some of the Almost Human Work
These Clever CANNES Perform.
Reading denotes that dog Is follow
ing trail toward the birds by their
foot scent, as a man in an analogous
manner might follow a flock Of sheep
by watching their tracks.
Drawing denotes that dog is ap-
preaching birds by a scent in the air,
as man might follow a flock Of sheep
by the long line of dust lowering over
and around the trail. Drawing is con-
sidered much superior manner to
roading. 1t is commonly marked by
greater accuracy, quickness of execu-
tion and dash Of manner.
Pointing is the stop which the dog
makes when he has definitely located
the birds or when he thinks he has
done so. 1t is the preliminary pause to
accurately determine the whereabouts
of the hidden birds before he springs to
capture. If he misjudges and springs
in the wrong direction, all his pains
and labor come to nothing. In his
training he is encouraged to point, but
is prohibited springing, so that after q
time he makes his point and holds it
stanchly.
If by any act. willful or otherwise,
he alarms the birds and they take
wing, it is called flush. II the dog
when going up wind on game dushes
the birds, he commits an error. If I'M
der certain circumstances he fushes
when going down the wind, the error
may be excused on the ground that be-
ing up wind of them it was impossible
to scent them and therefore impossible
to know of their presence.-Outing.

SLED FOR CORN sHoCKs-srUBBLEC CUTTER.
pin Of wood holds the plank tight
against the shoulder on the crosspieces.
Three more crosspieees of, say, IL by
4 or 2 by inch stuff are used on top of
the runners. These fit in notches cut in
the runners and extend far enough to
hold on each side of the sled an inch
board about six inches wide. The run
ners may be about four feet apart, and
the crosSpeces extend nine inches on
each side This makes the sled five and
a half feet wide but the width may be
adapted to the length Of the corn in
the shocks. \ stake or standard three
or four feet high at each corner COM
pletes the sled. Round of the bottom
edges of the runners somewhat so that
the sled will turn more easily and
draw with chain and spreader.
In addition to the foregoing an Ohio
Farmer correspondent describes the
! other devices illustrated as follows:
When the corn is large it is usually
cut high on the stalks to save the
weight and bulk of the surplus fodder.
Unless shredded the bottom part of the
star; is not of much feeding value any
way and is best left in the field. The
large Stubble however, is very trouble
some when preparing for seeding or
even when husking the corn in the
field, and the device shown in Fig. 2
is intended for use in cutting of the
stubble close to the ground. Make V
shaped frame of inch boards four or
five inches wide. Nail the frame on
couple of . by inch scantlings which
serve as runners, using crosspiece of
the same material as the runners at
the rear TO hold it securely. From an
old crosscut saw or any piece of thin
steel that may be found available make
two blades which bolt on the frame as
illustrated. Have the blades ground
sharp on their outer edges and let them
project one and half or two inches
from the boards. Draw it by an iron
ball or a chain, to which attach sin
gletree for the horse. A bow shaped
handle may be put on at the rear to
lift the contrivance about with if it is
hought necessary. Make the frame
wide enough to cut two rows.
Il
stack or shed there are several good
homemade racks in use for sled and
wagon, and as a rule every farmer has
his OWE way for handling the fodder
with the least work. For ourselves we
consider the low wheeled and broad
tired wagon with simple low rack the
best on which to haul the stover, but
many haul on a sled, and where there
is but one man to do the work sled
is always used. Fig. 3 is a rough
sketch of a simple method of arranging
sled for fodder hauling. Make SIM
pie rack OF rough boards and strips,
the same as is often done for hauling
small loads of straw about the stable
in winter. Procure two scantlings or
poles eight or ten feet long. Cut a

Origin of the Cannon.

1t is curious fact that the first can
non was cast at Venice. 1t was called
q ''bombard," and was invented and
employed by General Pisani I'm war
against the Genoese. The original
lombard, which bears the date Of
1880, is still preserved and stands at
the foot of Pisani's statue at the ar
senal. The lombard threw stone 100
pounds In weight but another vene-
tan general 'Francisco BRrRe, Inn
proved 1t until he was able to. handle
a charge of rock and powders weigh
ing 5000 pounds. 1t proved disastrous
to him. however. for one day during
the siege of lara, while he was oper-
ating his terrible engine, he was hurled
by it over the walls and instantly
killed.

Gardening In Alaska.

According to Mr.. Middleton Smith,
naturalist to the international polar
expedition. probably the first expert
mental gardening in Alaska north Of
the arctic circle was that done by the
expedition at Point Barrow. Alaska,
1881 SO. The land close to the coast Is
practically free from snow by the 5th
of June. On June 13 the seeds of let
tuce. radish and mustard were sown.
The mustard failed to germinate. On
the 10th of July, twenty-seven days
after seeding and nineteen days after
termination, harvesting began. The
lettuce leaves were from one to two
inches in width and from three to four
inches in length. The radishes, spher-
ical in form, were from half inch to
an inch in diameter. The condition Of
these vegetables at the time of harvest
was perfect The quality could not be
excelled. A study of the conditions un-
der which the plants germinated and
matured is not only curiously interest
ing. but suggests that there was some
stimulating force, perhaps the large
amount of atmospherical electricity,
which caused them to arrive at matur-
ity IN a much shorter period than those
grown in temperate zones. 1nasmuch
as the summer season is very brief it is
absolutely necessary that plant life in
lhe far north should arrive at maturity
very quickly.

HOT FROM THEFRoNT.
War Correspondent and His Story
of n Great Event.


Newsgathering, not fighting, Is the
trade of the war correspondent. But
it is news at any personal cost, and al
fine unpremeditated heroism often goes
with the gathering of II.
One morning after the siege of Paris,
when the city was believed I'm London
to be still in the hands Of the COM
mune, Sir John Robinson, manager Of
The Daily News of London, reached
his Office to find the late Archibald
Forbes lying on the floor asleep, his
head on a postoffice directory, while
the printers were hard at work on his
manuscript, the story of Paris In
Flames" a most vivid description OF
the last days of the commune.
FORBES had telegraphed from Dover
announcing his coming" said Sir John
Robinson. ''the printers had been watt
ing, and thus the country heard Of
those terrible days for the first time
London was ablaze with excite
ment. Bouverie street was impossible
through the newsboys shrieking for
copies, and in parliament Mr.. Glad
stone was questioned that afternoon
and could only say he hoped the story
was exaggerated.
When Forbes wakened from his
slumber amid all this turmoil, what q
spectacle he was, His face was black
with powder, his eyes red and in
famed, his clothes matted with clay
md dust; he was a dreadful picture.
He had been compellnd to assist tha
communists in defending triangular
space upon which three detachments
of the Versailles troops were firing,
and had actually taught the citizens
how to build barricade."
By aid of dummy dispatches ad-
dressed to Lord Granville and the
queen, Forbes escaped from this
threatening triangle and wrote all the
way to England, being the solitary
passenger on the mailboat. = Youths
