seems that two distinguished
archaeologists made an excur.
sion to the Isles of Arran,
where interesting remains of an
archaeological nature exist.
They came across a little rough
stone building, and both en-
tered into a fierce argument as
to the exact century of its erec-
ton, one maintaining it was
built in the fifth, and the other
in the sixth century.
A native who had listened to
the hot discussion suddenly
broke in:

DEMAND FOR BELGIAN HAREs
Made to Eastern Cities from the West.

Belgian hares are being shipped to the Chicago and New York markets in enormous numbers from the west. There are large numbers ot rabbit farms in Nebraska, and Omaha commission men are beginning to reap rich harvest from this traffic. A ready sale is found for the animals for ship ment to all eastern cities, says Chi cago paper
 The income from some of these rab- bit farms, started by children, has been large. At Columbus boy started with pair of rabbits and in one year cleared $500 and had left more than 200 rabbits. They breed six times year and begin to propagate at the age of four months. Many of these little animals have es- capped in Nebraska and Kansas and have already oceasioned alarm among farmers for fear that they will increase 80 rapidly that they will become a menace to crops,
 Belgian hares are offered for sale in all the markets around Omaha, and several of the big packers are arrang- ing to pack the animals for foreign shipment. The flesh does not resemble that of the wild rabbit, but is very white and sweet.

TWO POPULAR PAsTIMEs.
Bicycle Riding and Golf Have Gained the Greatest Hold in
 America

The two forms of recreation which have taken the greatest hold upon the American public are bicycle riding and golf Why these pastimes have att tained so great popularity in this country is not difficult to understand; and an analysis of the elements of their great success involves an enumeration of those elements which must be found in ,s s,2a ss.sas s.sport which approaches the iazal, says tisse Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
 Wheeling and golflng are equally adapted to the pleasure of both men and women, and naturally bring them together for their outings. This in sures the wheel and the golf club a place in thousands of homes from which they would otherwise be exclud- ed, for many husbands will not allow themselves regular indulgence in a recreation which may not be shared by their wives, and when to the intrin- sic interest of any recreation is added the zest of social intercourse between the two sexes it's pleasures and attrac- tions are multiplied.
 That pastime which calls it's partici- pants into places of scenic beauty, and at the same time furnishes them with the collaboration of interesting exer- cise, possesses a sure and a potent charm. No recreation possesses this characteristic in n greater degree thar does golf.

This huge crustacean, which was caught mile away from shore, Is 62 centimeters in diameter and its claws are more than yard long. Its voracity is incredible. and it's great eyes protrude Tn such a man.

sNAILs ovERRUN A CITY.
Inhabitants of Indiana Town Organ- ixe Night Hunts and XIII
 the Pests with Salt.

A plague of snails, or slugs, as the af- fiicted people call them, lately struck JeffersoHfville. Ind, in full force, and instances are cited where persons have been compelled to move. Their first appearance was after the flood of Feb- ruary, 1884, but they have never been so bad as at present. The pests are not exactly like a snail, but resemble them in some respects. They have no shells and are night raiders, says the New York World.
 At no place in the city where the flood water failed to reach has one of the slugs been seen, but in the most fashionable quarters the pests are numerous. Tn size they range from one to six inches in length. being from a quarter to an inch in diameter. It is not until ten o'clock at night that the snails come out of their hiding places, under houses, and slug hunting parties have become fashionable.
 Armed with lamp and cup of salt, the people hunt for the pest, and when slug is found it's days are numbered, for the smallest particle of salt means death. The more salt the quicker the work.
 They leave behind slimy track, that furnishes clew to their movements. In some places fine carpets have been ruined, the slimy tail eating like acid.
 One of the most peculiar character istics of the slugs is their ability to get their large bodies through a small space They flatten out almost as thin as knife blade. allowing them to crawl through good-sized door crack.
