Bull Handicanned hx sign.

A magnificent red bull, owned by an
English farmer, had an unpleasant no.
toriety as a man-killer. A strip of oak
board had therefore been bound firmly
across his forehead, and on this, as an
added insult to the monarch of the herd
was painted Dangerous" When the
beast held his muzzle to the sky he
could see in front of him, but the mo-
ment he lowered his head for mischief
or grazing, all view, except of his own
forefeet, was cut off. "Clambering one
day down a tor near his haunts." says
a writer, Il came on a stretch of level
green. In the centre of this sat an inn
p~erturable artist painting, and round
him in furious tangents charged the in
effectual bull. Up went the beasts
head, while aim was taken at this dis
turber of the solitude. but then, with
lowered horns, the plank again shut
the bull into a mistaken memory of
where his target was. The painter said
he had spent halfa morning in fight.

Barend Vet, of The Hague, had re-
Gently the misfortune to call a-consta-
bic a monkey, an accusation which a
local paper pointed out as "being, of
course, untrue" and which. moreover,
is g form Of untruth not permitted in
Holland. Vet vas arrested and
brought before the judge ON a charge
of Insulting the police" being sen
fenced to forty-five days imprison-
saent.
Before being removed he turned to
address the court. ''Then l mustn't
call a constable a monkey" he said.
Certainly not. You must not insult
the police" The culprit reflected.
May l call a monkey a constable?"
he asked, with a fash of genius. The
Judge shrugged his shoulders, and
holding no brief for the animal, re-
piled: eff it gives you any satisfac-
tion." With a smile of satisfaction
Vet turned on his heel in the dock
and bowed to his prosecutor. "Good
day, constable" he said.-St. James

VEGETABLES HIGH AND SCARCE
Will Soon Be Classed as Luxuries If
Weather Does Not Abate.

v WI Il
New York City.-Every one except
those who can afford the luxuries of
life will have to give up fresh veg
etables and fail back on timed stuff
for regular diet unless a break in the
weather comes soon and stays awhile.
All kinds of green vegetables are high
in price and scarce in quantity. Spin
ach costs about as much as mushrooms
do ordinarily. Lettuce is fifteen cents
a head. Celery is keeping it company.
and it is hard to get good quality at
any price. Peas and beans are i'll the
same class with strawberries as far as
prices are concerned.
Eggs still keep up. In fact. those
who demand eggs that are freshly laid
yesterday or eve last week, simply
have to go without. Those nice high
grade eggs, stamped with name and
date, which some customers demand,
are not to be had.
For ordinarily good eggs, which are
the best of the present markets, the
price range from fifty TO sixty cents
a dozen.
Chickens are to be classed with table
Injuries. Fresh ones are not on sale
and those from cold storage sell for
twenty-five and twenty-eight cents n

To Smoke Without Harm.

Tobacco poisoning has long been
made a subject OF investigation by
Professor Turst, of the University Of
Leipzig, Germany, who finds that to-
bacco may be smoked without injury
to the smoker by observing the fol-
lowing precautions: % Use only mild
tobacco; 81 smoke only good tobacco;
90 do not smoke the last half Of a
cigar or the end of a cigarette; az If
a cigar or a cigarette goes out do not
relight it; 90 do not sit in a room filed
with the fumes of tobacco; (6) do not
chew the end of a cigar; () 5 a cigar
holder or a cigarette holder with a bit
Of cotton to catch the nicotine; o. at
home smoke only pipes with long
stems, and preferably a nargileh.-

The average farmer does not keep
poultry enough. A little larger invest
ment in poultry will increase the in
come of the farm and bring a profit
that cannot be equalled by the same
amount invested in any other line of
farming. BY this l do not mean that
the farmer shall become a fancier or
4 poultry specialist. but 1 do mean
that he usually neglects the faithful
hen, and if he will post up on this
branch of live stock husbandry and
take as much pains with his hens as
he does with his other live stock he
can increase his profits with very little
labor and money expended.
The poultry business now is a sta
BILE business. Just as much so as hogs
or cattle or the dairy. 1t used to be
that you could scarcely sell poultry
and eggs at certain seasons of the
year, but that is not the case now.
There is a market for all the poultry
and eggs that can be produced, and at
fair prices. The large packers have

the fields near the ancient Roman
road his pick struck against a solid
body, which proved to be an old, rough
~ fashioned chest, containing a num-
Der of small gold coins, weighing alto
gether seventy-seven pounds. This dis
covery has aroused much interest, as

Leagally Dead; Still Alive.

A man may be legally dead and yet
be very much alive, in fact. Ten years
ago Fitch Marquis left his family in
Kansas and had never been heard of
until the other day, when he turned up
at La Cygne. lie refused to say where
he had been. His wife thought him
dead and sued for a $4,000 life insur.
I'M policy he carried. The court de.
cided she should pay the premiums for
v years, and if he did not show up
he would be counted as dead in this
world. The widow paid the premiums
and at the end Of seven years drew her
money, but Marquis is not dead.-To-
