HUNTERS TIN CAN
LURE A SUCCESS.
Space Says He Learrei OF 4 in
India. Where It is Used to Catch
Fierce Tigers.

II a fine old buck hadn't been so
anxious to read the labels on several
tin cans he would still be propelling
his antlers through the forests of Sui
livan County, in New York, instead
of lying in state at the home of
Farmer John Quick. Daniel Space,
of New York City, arrived at the
Quick homestead few days ago with
trunkful of bullets and a brand new
scheme for putting venison on the
table.
Quick and Space started out to as
certain if the latter's plan for trap
ping deer was practicable. The plan
consisted of stringing about twenty
tomato cans on rope and stretching
the rope across the runway. While
one of the hunters stood near the
cans the other was to go back into
the woods and drive the deer toward
the opening. The scheme worked
satisfactorily the first time it was
tried
Quick succeeded in locating a deer
and driving it toward the runway,
where Space lay in wait. When the
deer was within 200 yards Space gave
the rope yank, and the cans set up
an awful jangling. The deer was sus-
picious at first. He hesitated for a
moment, and then his curiosity got
the better of him. Pulling his ant
lers down and tying them beneath his
chin he sneaked up to the cans and
began to inspect them. While thus
engaged Space took careful aim and
brought the animal to the ground
with his seventh shot.
That's trick l learned in India"
said Space. They use the tin can
trap out there to catch tigers. l could
have killed him with the first shot,
but / gave him an opportunity to
finish his inspection Of the cans
The buck was fine specimen and
weighed 265 pounds.

WALLS OF CORN.

Smiling and beautiful heavens dome
Bends softly over our prairie home.
Bus the wide, wide lands that stretched
away
Before my eyes in the days of May;
The rolling prairies bilowy swell,
breezy upland and timbered dell;
Stately mansion and hut forlorn-
All are hidden by walls of corn.
AK the wide world is narrowed down
10 walls of corn now sere and brown.
What do they hold-these walls of corn,
whose banners toss in the breeze of morn
He who questions NAV soon be told
"A great States wealth these walls enfold.
No sentinels guard these walls of corn.
Never IS sounded the warden's horn:
Yet the pillars are hung with cleaning
Left all unbarred, though thieves are bold.
Clothes and food for the toiling poor:
Wealth to heap at the rich mans door:
Meat for the healthy and balm for him
Who means and losses in chamber dim:
Shoes for the barefooted: pearls to Irvine
In the scented tresses of ladies fine;
Things for use for the lowlv cot
Where bless the corn. want cometh not !;
Luxuries rare for the mansions grand.
Booty tor thieves that rob the land
All these things, and so many more
1t would fill book but to name them Ger
Are hid and held in these walls of corn.

In the olden days of the district school.
Point to this rich and bounteous land
That yields such fruits TO the toiler's hand

Little they knew what wealth untold
Lay hid where the desolate prairies rolled.
Who would have dared. with brush or pen.

5h inch base, and is solid. Mr.. Allen.
dorph's rail is inches high, with a
6-inch base. and is hollow. There is
also device for connecting these
rails which takes the place of the
familiar fish-plate. 1t consists of a
plate feet long and inches wide,
and carrying an upright the length OF
plate, which fits into the hollow of the
rails to complete the connection. 1t
is asserted that the danger of Spread.
ing rails will be greatly minimized.
The present standard rail carries 80
pounds to the yard, while that Of Mr..
Allendorph is only II. At $2S ton
for rails this would mean a saving of
$517.76 per mile.

The Riot Act.

What is commonly known as 'sread-
ing the riot act" is better known than
the origin of the phrase. The his
torical Riot act was passed by the
British Parliament in the reign of
George I. in 1714. It enacts that
felony is committed when twelve or
more persons unlawfully, riotously
and unanimously assemble together,
to the disturbance of the public peace,
so to continue together for an hour
after being commanded to dispense
by the Sheriff or Under Sheriff or a
Justice or the Mayor of the borough.
In the reading" of the British
Riot act, which is a necessary pre-
liminary to its being put into opera
ton, it is not customary to recite the
whole of the statute, which is rather
long one, but only the following
proclamation which it contains:
Our sovereign lord the King
chargeth and commandeth all persons
being assembled Immediately to dis
perse themselves, and peaceably to
depart to their habitations, or to
their lawful business, upon the pains
contained in the act made in the first
year of King George for preventing
tumults and riotous assemblies. God

O'Connor, huggins himself with
glee, impaired the cause of his JOY

that there was a hasty adjournment
to the seawall, whence they followed
safely in the rear of the unsuspect-
ing Tiemann. On their way they
picked up dozen friends, a number
which was augmented by others in
the course of the journey until fully
score occupied positions of vantage

Tiemann stopped in front of MUIR

flooded it with scarlet condiment, and
swallowed it voraciously. There was
culver of excitement among those
who were watching. That he would
either fall to the sidewalk or kick
over the stand was unquestioned.
But he did neither. A beatific smile
slowly overspread his face. He
turned to the oysterman.
"Maig dot three tozen, Bete," he
said.
Ten minutes later O'Connor, Quig-

silence in the Battery shanty.

Brush Without Eristles.


In recent years scientists and der.
matologists have discovered that dis.
eases of a certain nature, such as ecze-
ma seborrhoicum, are of microbe
origin, and, therefore, contagious to
very great extent, and it is we'll
known fact that the excessive dandruff
is nearly always due to the presence
in the scalp Of vegetable parasite.
Stringent laws have been promulgated
at different places, tendig to insure
cleanliness and freedom from conta-
gion in barber shops and hairdressing
parlors, but according to some authori-
ties in matters of this kind, 1t has
been difficult to make much progress
along these lines, for the reason that
it is practically impossible to sterilize
the ordinary bristle brush without
running it.
In or 1r to overcome this constant
source of danger substitute for the
hair-brush has been devised. The
principal object Of the invention is tc
provide an article which will perform
all the ordinary functions OF the. bristle
brush, but of such shape and construc-
ton as to be wholly non-absorbent
and capable of rapid and effective
sterilization
The article is constructed OF rubber
or metal, and the surface bearing the
teeth are Of such shape as to be soft
and yielding, SO that the action of the
teeth are in every way the same as
that of the bristle of a hair-brush.

The Portland (Me.) Press observes:
An interesting scrap of information
comes from Washington to the effect
that the Agricultural Department pro-
poses to test the merits OF the South
American plant known as "cupatorium
re bandenum," for sugar making. Not
to know cupatorium may be to argue
oneself ignorant, but the name looks
fishy. 1t is possible, however, that the
plant is destined to beat the beet and
raise Cain with cane.

The AIderncy Breed.

The Attorneys and Jerseys are 80
closely related and so much alike in
appearance that the description given
for Jerseys will apply to them. They
can be classed as the same breed
but bearing the MARIE of their island
nome. The main difference is that
the Attorneys are smaller and more
delicate, and for this reason are not
SO much in favor"
The above passage was printed in
book which I judge is in the hands
Of many farmers throughout the coun-
try.
When Channel island cattle were
nrst imported to the United States.
and for long time thereafter, both
Jersey and Guernsey, and especially
the former, were called by many peo-
pie Attorney cattle. The Island of
Alderney is one Of the Channel group.
and although the third in size is too
small to export any cattle. It prob
ably has no cattle except a few for
family use, and so far as records
show none were ever exported from
tnere. The name may have originated
from the fact that Attorney, having
good harbor and being nearer Eng
land, all the vessels carrying cattle
or produce from Guernsey and Jersey
formerly cleared from the Alderney
port before leaving the islands for
England. This may have given the
impression to early English importers
that they were Alderney cattle, and
the name so came to this country.
The fact Is that there is no such
thing as an Attorney breed of cattle.

TlEMANN TRIES TABASCO.,
