Revealed Hidden Treasure.

Frederick, Md.-When it became
known that he could live but a short
time, Lewis Overholtzer, of Emmits-
burg, called his daughter to his bed
side and told her to go up in the at
tic of the house and raise the top from
a certain step, under which would
be found tin box. She did as di-
rected and found the tin box, which
contained $4,000 in gold and silver.
The box and its contents had been
placed under the step for safekeeping
during the civil war and had not been
disturbed since. The family knew
nothing of the hidden treasure and
were much surprised to recover it.
Mr. Overholtzer died about three
weeks ago.-Baltimore Sun.

PORCUPINE A REAL HOG.
Impales Apples ON His Quills to Keep
Them From His Mate.

New York.-Jack and Jill, the pair
of porcupines in the Bronx zoo, are
extremely fond of apples, and between
them eat a uart or so every day. A
big shipment of winter apples from
up the state arrived yesterday and
Keeper DAILY thought he'd give the
quilly pair a treat. Accordingly he
emptied a small measure, about two
quarts, into the inclosure.
Now Jack, the head of the house,
is inclined to be more than hedge
hoge, especially at meal times. With
the slow waddle peculiar to his kind,
he seized a big pippin and started off,
Then he suddenly remembered that
it was dangerous to have so much
fruit behind, and scattering the apples
he rolled on his back on top of them.
At least 10 quilts pierced as many
apples, and carrying his load impaled,
he scrambled over to a stump.-New
