A rather rough joke was perpetrated


Christmas Eve upon citizen who had


been attending turkey rattle, and af-


ter frequent efforts finally succeeded


in winning turkey. He had, mean


while, been getting into a fix for a


"Christmas jubilee" as he expressed


it, and by the time he was ready to
start for home it was an open question


whether the turkey was not as fully
able to carry him as he the turkey.


However, he started, throwing the
fowl over his shoulder and holding on
to its legs. 4 graceless scamp in the
party, seeing a chance for deviltry,
took out his knife, and stole up hehind
the carrier of the turkey as he con-
structed a rail fence along the side


walk, and cut off the unfortunate fowls


head. Ofcourse the bird fluttered and
struggled, but its owner not suspecting
anything wrong, merely changed his
manner of holding it, and finally hug
ged it to his breast, thus conveying it
home. Arrived there he carefully
placed the turkey in the chicken coop
and got to bed as quickly as possible.
The next morning his wife happened
to notice blood upon his hands and face,
a glance at his clothing showed that
it was in terrible plight, and she
aroused him hastily, fearing he might
have been wounded in fight. Nbt
more than half awake and the other
half still pretty boozy, he could not
comprehend her inquiries. He insist
ed that he had not been in any difficult
", but had spent the evening decor
ously and pleasantly, and returned
home early and perfectly sober. But
the blood lit was beyond his COM
prehension. Still he had to say some
thing, and he declared that his nose
had been bleeding just about the time
he got home, and probably in the dark
ness his clothes were soiled. His wife
thought it very singular, but she could
not see any other way it could
have happened, if he had not been in a
fight. He affected a diversion just
then by telling her what fine turkey
he had won at rattle, and advised her
to go and feed it, and be careful it did
not get out. Anxious to see the prize,
she hastened to the coop, but when her
eyes fell upon the headless fowl, fro
zen solid, she went back to the house
and commenced an Grafton to her hus-
band with the expressive words, You

Birds are guided almost entirely by
sight, and when all nature is shrOuded
in snow they at once pick out and make
for the first open spot. Wherever the
ground is clear, there they know will
be something or other almost certainly
be found. If sweeping the snow away
from patch some few yards square be
impossible, then let ashes be sprinkled
freely ON the surface. Wherever the
dreary white expanse is broken, there
the birds will be gathered together.
Meantime, those who would Judge for
themselves how intelligent birds are,
and how soon they can be taught to re-
cognize those who treat them kindly,
have only to throw out each morning
in their garden, or on their window
sill, or in the balcony, the crumbs from
the breakfast-table, supplemented, if
need be, with oats, hempseed, millet,
or buckwheat. In a week the little
creatures will come to their meal as
regular as the clock strikes the hour.
In a month they will almost allow
themselves to be taken in the hand.
Let this be done through the winter,
and then in the spring let little boxes
be fixed up, out of reach of cat or
school-boy, and let small bags of hay
and wool be hung close by, and the
sparrow will build her nest and hatch
out two if not three broods in full sight
of the window. We have only to en-
courage birds, and they will come to
us.

And now will tell you about Texas
Bills last bear-hunt. One evening
last fall we were sitting out on the
piazza about nine o. clock, when
neighbor Ford rode up and wanted me
to go over to Rock creek, about three
miles, and help kill bear. He said
his wifes mother and a boy about twelve
years old had been down on the creek
that day looking for some bees, and
they saw bear run into the rocks. So
i saddled up, took my dogs. and with
Charley and Ford started for the bear.
Wheu we got nearly to the creek we
found another man by the name Of Rus
sian waiting for us. When we got to
the creek we went down about half a
mile and hitched our horses and began
to climb up the bank among the rocks
and trees, and after fifteen minutes
hard labor we got to where the woman

Perhaps the reader has never consi-
dered how all birds obtain the gloss on
their feathers which makes them proof
against water. Waterfowl are, of
course, supplied with thicker coating
of feathers than land birds, but all have
the faculty of procuring the oily mat
ter to cover their feathers and resist
water getting in between. Have you
never noticed, when a bird was
plucked, small protuberance above
the tail, furnished with pencil-like
tuft of feathers? 1t is here that the
ointment is hidden, and the bird has
the power 10 raise the thicker feathers
thai cover this spot, and, passing its
head over it, obtains enough matter at
a time TO communicate it to the rest of
its plumage. And it is truly interest
ing to watch duck pluming itself and
covering Its feathers with the oil that
is required for keeping out the water.
As this part of the body is liable to give

dispatch, he had plunged through the

ocean.


"Now," she reasoned with herself,
"he doesn't expect to swim across the
Atlantic, and he can't stay i'm the water
all day, hoping TO be picked up by a
coaster. What he thinks of is maybe
I'll see him, and try TO pick him up
with the surf-skiff; and so | will"


Calling her younger brother, the
brave girl ran down to the shore, and
with the child's help dragged the surf
skiff across the beach.
a jersey surf-skiff is very light
boat, made of cedar, thin as a shell and
easily handled. To launch the little
craft through the breakers and Jump
into it without upsetting, requires
a gNod deal of skill and good deal of
pluck beside. Katie was not novice
IN such things, and in few minutes
she was pulling strong, steady stroke
up the beach, heading a point or two
off shore.


She could not see her brother in the
water. but after rOwir g, as it seemed to
her, very long time, she saw the SOL
diers on the sand, and judged that Ned
must be somewhere in line with them


Pulling on until she came abreast of
them, she stood up and looked about
her. She found she was at least a mile
off shore, and two miles up the beach
from home.


Ned was nowhere to be seen, and af-
ter scanning the sea in every direction
she sunk back with a sickening fear
that he had gone down.


AT that moment she heard a faint
call, and rising again, could plainly
distinguish distant hail. She could
not see anything at first, but pulled
rapidly in the direction of the sound,
she was presently gladdened by a
glimpse of something yet long way
off.


Rowing for dear life, sic soon made
out her brothers arm occasionally ap-
pearing on a rising wave. He was
floating almost under water. and was
nearly exhausted.


Katie had to give him the oars to rest
on, and to help support him as best she
could for some time before he was able
TO scramble into the skiff.


The girl had done her best, but with
all her speed he had been an hour in
the water when she reached him. The
loss of a few moments might have lost
his life.


With Ned lying in the bottom of the
skiff limp and faint, Katie pulled away
for home with glad heart. and if she
cried little, it was Tor joy as much as
anything.


They found Hendrickson waiting for
hatie's return, thinking she might
possibly have the despatch, though he
little expected to see Ned with her.


The HeSsians had watched their es-
Gaping prisoner until most out of sight,
then they saw him throw up his hands
and disappear. When Katie came
along in her boat, they supposed her
search would be useless, and had
turned into lane leading inland.


On reaching their rendezvous at San
dy Hook, they reported that the boy
had been drowned and his body car
ried out to sea.


Sanborne hastened to spread the same
report through the neishborhood, and
his friends thought they had lost Mas
ter Ned, and great was the rejoicing
when he reappeared the next day sound
and well, and everybody said: Isn't

The author of Shooting on the
Wing" says of loading the gun: ''Un-
der this head we have to consider not
only the best quantities and proportions
of powder and shot, but the proper
mode of inserting the charge in the
gun. If the weapon be breech-load-
er, full directions in regard to the point
will be given by the manufacturer but
where muzzle-loader is used, there is
a certain routine to be observed, both
for the sake of securing rapidity and
certainty, and of avoiding danger.
Both barrels of the gun being unloaded, i,
the following is the system that We
always follow: GraspIng the barrel
with the left hand few inches below
the muZZle, the hammers being at half
cock and the gun in such a position
directly in front that the trigger-guard
is toward the person, we measure out
the proper quantity of powder for a
load. and pour it into each barrel in
succession; and, after returning the





each barrel, draw the ramrod, and
press it gently to the bottom. For do
ing this, Frank Forester gives some
very excellent advice as follows: Re
member not TO grasp the rod, much less
cover the tip of it with the palm of your
hand in ramming down, but to hold it
only between the tips of your fingers
and thumb. In case of an explosion,
this difference in the mode of holding
il will just make the difference of lacer-
ated finger-tips, or a hand blown 10
shreds.' The rod may now be held in
the same hand that supports the barrels,
while the shot is carefully measured
and poured into them; wads are again
inserted and pressed home, and the
ramrod returned to its proper place.
All that now remains is to cap the piece,
and see that the hammers are at half
cock.

TRAGIC LOVE STORIES. What place
Rome is for sad love stories. Here is the
last. A young workman on railway
was about to get married. The very day
before that set apart for the wedding he
was run over by an engine and killed.
No sooner did the girl hear this than she
laid herself down across the tracks with
the hope Of being killed in her turn. But
she had only an arm crushed. The arm
had to be amputated, and she bore the
operation like soldier. She told the
surgeons all the while that it was no use,
that she could not live now that her lover
was dead. They gave no heed to such
rawlings. When nobody was looking she
removed the bandages and bled to death.
Here is an American story to match it.

natl College of Music, aged 18, was to be
