 ripped away the dry papery outer cover ing, and then scraped off the juicy inner
 bark which he chewed up and swallow ed with evidence relish, watching me meanwhile with his .ruefui black eyes. But I still had another porcupine to find, and, there was no time to waste, so
 I approached with the intention of picking him up and carrying him back to the hen-house. But when put out my hand to lay hold of him, he wheeled around, and at the same time raising all the hair on his back, disclosed an array of sharp quills, which were any, thing but inviting. I moved round to- ward the front of him, but he had turned more quickly than I did, and there was his formidable back, pre- scented to me once more. However, his
 tail hung down very innocently, and as all the quills upon it lay flat and point
 ed toward the tip, decided that there was the vulnerable point on which to make an attack. That was where l made mistake. for had been just a

AN ICEMAN'S PLAN.

A New York icenan has inherited six thousand dollars, and he says that after spending seven hundred of it in eating and drinking he will resume his seat in the ice-cart.
 If this iceman carries out his pro gramme he will show himself to be a man of will and some prudence. He would have shown himself to be a man of more will and prudence if he had decided to continue his work and put off the spending of seven hundred dol- lars for eating and drinking until his six thousand had grown to ten thou sand. And had he done that it is prob able that he would not then have spent the seven hundred for eating and drinking. It will be interesting to mo- tice, if we are allowed to, how his present plan works. If he stops after spending seven hundred he will then have five thousand three hundred. and the memory of a good time. If he doesn't stop he will soon have nothing but memories of good times, and he will then be lucky if he is able to win and use a seat in an ice-cart. It is al- ready evident that the iceman is not a real financier, and it may turn out that he has overestimated his self-control.

power developments proceeded 1n sim liar lines, no objection would be raised; but when it was demonstrated that Niagara water power enterprises would pay, plenty of persons were ready to undertake them by the easiest and cheapest plan. Before that time, local sentiment in the vicinity of Niagara had been strongly opposed to anything tending to injure .he beauty of the falls and make them less attractive to visitors. This local sentiment disap- peared when it was seen that the ill- dustriaI utilizasion of the cataract promised greater profits and now a good many take sordid view of the situation.
 Perhaps ''the march of progress wont be stayed long by anything that may be said or done against the. u.ili- l zation of the Falls. Now that it is l seen how much work the Falls can do perhaps it will be felt that sentiment shouldn't be allowed to stand in the way of their doing it.

According to the United States com mercial agent at vladivostock. Russia has not obtained any great advantage over other countries in the competition for Manchurian trade by her great railroad. The reason given is that no bulky cargo will pay for it's transpor- tation overland. Even under favorable conditions, it is said, the major part of Russian freight is likely to go by sea. To send freight by water from Odessa to Vladivostock now costs con- siderably less than it does to send it by railroad. Foreign goods are gaining popularity in Manchuria, and if other countries than Russia do not secure trade there it will be, the commercial agent thinks, merely because enterprise is lacking.

 POINTS ABOUT pORCUPlNEs.

There are many interesting points about a porcupine, and they are chief
 ly at the tips of his quills. I had my first experience with this curious crea-
 ture many years ago, when was a small boy. had two specimens sent to me from Maine, and went to the station to meet them, I found them in
 strong box, lined with sheet iron, a
 delicate compliment to their grawing
 ability. A group of expressmen were gathered about the box, peering through
 the slats at the top, and pulling out long quills from the backs of the porcupines, to keep for souvenirs. By and bye I had them brought home and
 put into an empty hen-house, which
 was to serve as temporary quarters, un- til pen could be made for them, it was six o'clock when they arrived. and left them in something of a hurry, thinking that I would go back and attend to them immediately after supper But there happened to be company that porcupines until half-past nine, when l suddenly remembered them, and ran out to the hen-house. They were gone. On the south side of the coop there was window, the woodwork of which had been gnawed to such an extent that nearly ali the panes of glass had been
 loosened. One pane had been knocked out, and through the gap thus made the animals escaped. Ipeered about in the darkness for a few minutes, and then went back to the house for lan- tern. I could not find it nowhere, and finally remembered that a neighbor had borrowed it, and that said neighbor

THE DETHR0NED POLICY FIXING.

That is an interesting and impressive contest which is going on in New York between "Ar' Adams, 'the policy king" and the law. Adams has been finally convicted of having something to do with policy in an illegal way, and he has been sentenced to q term in prison of not more than one year and nine months and not less than one year, and to pay fine of $1,0o0. He was to start for Sing Sing this morning, and per haps that part of the programme has not been changed, but yesterday writ of habeas corpus was obtained from Justice Geigerich of the Supreme court directing that Adams be produced be- fore him next Wednesday in order that the legality of his Imprisonment may be passed upon. =
 Adams has much money. and the best legal talent has been and will be used in his behalf. It doesn't look as if, with all his money and pull, he would escape now, and it is to be hoped that he will not. He has been, as the Court said, ''the mainstay of a miserable game which preys upon the weaknesses of
 men," and if he suffers in prison it will be no more than justice. Many of those who have played his game and given their money to him have gone to prison, and it may do him good to go there. At any rate, it will do the country good to have him there.

The editor of the Atchison Globe be- means the fact that the country brass band is becoming thing of the past. "The professional bands," he says, 'are heard everywhere now, and they make the playing of the country band sound like a charivari. A man cannot work all the week at harnessmaking or shoemaking, or typesetting and turn out Saturday night, and play accepta- bly, in the band. We've tried it, and we know. We used to belong to a country band, and it's playing was very bad. Our playing was very bad, al- though we were as good as any of the others. Milt. Musselman used to say he was a better player than we were but could never prove it.

It is said by experts that the finest antique colonial furniture in this coun- try comes from the South. Much of it has been discovered in the cabins of aged negroes who were formerly slaves. When these rare, carved old pieces of mahogany were discarded by their masters they were often given to the negroes, not understanding the val uation of them that would come later. A richly carved mahogany sideboard was found recently in a chicken-roost ill one of the Southern states. The chickens roasted on it every night, and it was torn and battered. This was bought by a dealer for small sum, and after it was restored sold to 8 eus- toner for $25O.

s The other day at Augusta, Georgia, Judge Gray talked to a grand jury thus about the pistol-carrying habit: "Life and property are reasonably secure in our State. Men who mind their own business have nothing to fear, and, those persons are safest who carry no weap- ons. Law and order prevail here, and we have no place in our civilization for lawless men. Our country needs men who can build up, not men who tear down; men who can create, not men who can destroy. We must enforce the laws Brave men do not need concealed weapons and fools and children and towards should not be permitted to car. ry them"

The Czar of Russia had a new experi- ence the other day which proved to him that there is such thing as na- tional spirit among the common people of Russia. As he drove through the streets of St. Petersburg the crowds cheered him to the echo, and it is said that the sad-faced autocrat positively beaned with pleasure over the evidence of popular approval of him. The cor dial outburst was undoubtedly due to the recent ukase announcing forthcom- ing reforms.

With gypsy rose and tan,

Her hair had purple tintings
Above her seashell ear;
Her eyes had starry gllntings:
Her laugh was lyric clear

Oiis tryst was one with FateO

Had shut days sunset gate.
Thus of they met thereafter.
