The grangers of Michigan in their nt tempts to get the advantage of fctoie keeper and to buy at a slight advance on wholesale prices, are, it is said; being made the victims of sharpers, who, under th'3 name of the Patrons of Industry, are working a scheme which i thus described by the Michgan 1'rudes- man: One or two schemers strike a town and pick out a merchant the selection usu ally devolving upon a man who is not possessed of the average shrewdness who is informed that in consideration of the payment of i sum, yarying from $10 to $100, to the schemers that they vuil turn over to him the entire trade of from lifty to two hundred families. The schemers are invariably smooth talkei and the result is, the victim usually suc cumbs to their seductive promises aiid forks over the sum demanded. The ras cals then legin an aggressive campaign Among the working people and the fur thers, who arc assured that they can seoture the privilege of buying their sup plies at five or ten per cent, above cost ty paying certain sums to the schemers usually if I for the heads of families and 50 cents for the wives. This money like the sum paid by the merchant, goes intw the pockets of the organizers, w'jo leave fuown after a week's work with consider sXe plunder in their possession. In the imeaAtime. the merchant makes arrang'--Mieuts with the jobbers with whom he i. dealing, to famish him two se's of in voices one giving the genuine prices and the other naming prices which are -"swelled" from five to twenty per cent..

The merchant files the genuine invoice. in his safe, lut is free to display the '"bulged"' bills, Adding five or ten per cent, to the prices therein named in deal ing with his dupes. There is no class in the community so easily deceived as farmers. It is among grangers that the bunco man and the 'gj who works the trap game, always raeet wUh the most willing victims, -and it Is not, 4Lrefore, surprising that the so-called "Patrons of Industry" find the the farmers of Michigan easy dupes to .their swindling game.

Birds have some queer fancies in se lecting spots for building their rests. Some time ago, near Seavillo. New Jer sey, I noticed in a grove of oaks, that nearly every tree had an old tin can nailed up in it. I found on examination that the cans were all occupied by wrens and bluebirds.

Several days afterward, when walking in his garden, he noticed something white tluttering in the branches of a cherry tree, and an examination showed that a pair of robins had taken the cap from the line and fastened it among the twigs and grass of their nest. The birds liad un doubtedly pulled the cap from between the prongs of the clothes pins, for they could not otherwise have obtained it. They were left in undisturbed possession of their prize.

The Colored ISrot'ier Lionized in Germany, Berlin is less cosmopolitan than almost anv other of the larjre cities of the world. It is comparatively seldom that one sees strange costumes and strange people, as is daily the case in New iork, Paris and London. It is not a great while since the street gamins would follow an Eng lishman or American, whose dress dif fered somewhat from the ordinary, and crj' at the top or their voices, 'fc,n, lander!" or "Yankee!" Although that has changed somewhat in the course of tune, the novelty has not yet worn off. A colored man clad in respectable gar ments who appears in Berlin is almost lionized. There is no race prejudice. On the contrary, he is the equal of all. and people speak of tho handsome "brunette" and the frauleins saddle Pegasus in his honor. I have seen hundreds of promenaders stop before the Cafe zur Opera and gaze for minutes at the colored man who acts as porter to tne establishment. His presence draws numerous people to the restaurant who would otherwise pass it by. The big fellow appreciates his posi tion now, has become proud, and shows his white teeth in smiles of recognition to many fashionable people in the 6treet. His wages are high, and, being the only attraction of his kind in Berlin, he is able to dictate his terms. In the classical city of W eimar a negro married the daughter of the court preacher.

J. nenderson In Once a Week. OLD SIEGEL AND HIS SON. Many years ago, while making a tour through that beautiful tract of mountain scenery in the south of Bavaria known as the Saltzkammergut, I stayed for a fortnight Berchtesgaden. I spent much of my time there in fishing for grayling and in talking to the chamois hunters, with many of whom I had made acquaintance during a previous visit. I used often to 6it for hours listening to their hunting 6tories, and on one occasion I hunted with them. The mountains immediately around Berchtesgaden are kept as a royal cham ois preserve, and as the king was ex pected to arrive shortly, none but "his majesty's own jaegers were allowed, dur ing the time I was there, to disturb the chamois. I was, however, very anxious to have at least one day 8 sport, and arranjred with old Siegel and his son Franz, chamois hunters whom I had known for some time, and on whom I could depend, to have a " jagd" on the morrow. Siegel persuaded dotting, a friend of his, to come with us. We started early in the morning, and after toiling for several hours up through the dark pine woods, which became more scant and scrubby the higher we went, emerged at last on the open snow nelds. We now separated; Franz and Gotting made a long detour to the left, while Siegel and I hastened on to reach some commanding position above in case any chamois were driven up. After an hour's more climbing we halted on the top of a precipice, which, shaped in the form of a crescent, made a complete cul de sac for any chamois driven up by our friends lelow. We had hardly been watching ten minutes when two chamois appeared in sight, bounding up the mountain side and coming directly toward us. When the foremost had come within range 1 fired and missed, as most men woulJ have don?, tiring as I did at so small an object from a height almost perpendicu larly above it. Tho beasts turned, and, springing with wonderful speed over the sharp rocks, were soon out of 6ight. I fired a second shot just as they were disappearing, and think I struck one of them, but k con trived to get away and we never saw it again. Siegel and I, somewhat crestfallen, trudged on up the mountain, keeping a sharp lookout on all sides and halting now and then to give the others time to overtake us. Suddenly we heard, far down below us, a shot, and then all was again silent. We were much surprised, as it is one of the first rules in this kind of hunt in.; never, except when absolutely necessary even to raise the voice, much less, vl course, to fire a rifle, which scares the chamois completely. We knew that Gotting and Franz, ui- j rectly lelow us as they were, could not possibly have seen a chamois, as our shots must jiave driven them quite out of reach. After a minute s anxiety listen- in'', we fancied we heard shouts, and fearing wo knew not what, called loudly Franz s name. e then heardand this time quite distinctly the voice of Gottmg saving. "Come down! come down! It is all over! Franz, has shot himself!" Siegel and I were standing together ankle deep in the snow. I glanced into his face, and think I shall never forget the look of misery I saw there. Before I knew what he was about, he had seized his rifle, had presented the muzzle to his neaa, anq was leeiing with las toot in a frenzied manner for the trigger. I snatched the piece away just in time. he did not try to recover it, but throw ing himself on ine snow, burst into a most passionate, most eloquent torrent of praise of his son's manv virtues. He told me what a good son he had always been to him, anxious to fulfill his slight est wish. I at length succeeded in partially sooth ing him, and jn rousing ' jiim to action. e scrambled down as fast s could. graded by Gotting's shouts. It was a long time before we reached them; to me it seemed an age. I accused myself of being the author of all this misery, and my anxiety was heightened by the reflecticn that we were in reality poaching, and we should very likely, in consequence of this misfortune, get into trouble on our return. We found poor Franz lying shot through the back and in great pain among stunted 'knieholz a plant something like our whinbush. It appeared that he had, con trary to all jaeger ru'es. carried his rifle rapped, and that jn walking through the knieholz he had stumbled and fallen, and his rifle had somehow or other exploded, causing a severe wound. We stanched the blood a3 well as we could with our handkerchiefs, and then held a consultation. Gotting said he knew of a chalet come way olf to which ho thought we might manage to carry Franz. I lifted him up as carefully as possible, and walked for some way over the abominable knieholz, which threatened to trip one up every moment. I man aged, I think, to go about two hundred yards with my burden, and then, ex hausted, had to lay him down. His father tried to carry him next, but un nerved and half blinded by his fears, had also soon to give it up. Gptting was the only one of the parfy who could cai-ry Franz -for any great length of time over the rough ground wa wera now com oe lied to traverse; he was a small raan, but seemed to be all wire and muscle. It was. however, evident that ot the Blow pace we were obliged l go wo should never, even if wo knew tho exact direction which, by tho way, none of u did get to the chalet before nightfall. Some other arrangement must bo made. Getting proposed that he should stay with the wounded man, while Siegel and I should go forward and attempt to reach the chalet. Gotting was the only one of tho party who had ever been there, and that was years before. Ho gave us directions how to find it. We were to pass to the right or left of certain peaks he pointed out to us, and then he said we should see a large field of snow. We were to cross this, and tho chateau was in a hollow about half a mile above and to the left Well, we started Siegel and I leav ing all the provisions except a few sand wiches with Franz and Gotting. A weary walk brought us to the peak where, according to Gotting, we were to see the snow field. But there was noth ing of the sort there; peak rose upon peak, but there was no great, level snow field stretching away at our feet, such as he had described. We looked at each other in dismay. To add to our distress the weather, which had hitherto leen beautiful, began to get overcast. Light wreaths of mist were settling on the higher summit of the mountain, sure signs of a coming storm. However, there was no use in going back. We should perhaps not be able to find Franz and Gotting again if, bewil dered as we now were, we attempted to get back to them. Our only chance was forward. Tired and dispirited we walked on, turning round only to look at the gath ering clouds which were now piling themselves dark and threatening behind us. The wind, too, began to rise. We determined to go downward; indeed we were too much exhausted to go any higher or waste any more lime in look ing for the chalet. The ground seemed to get more rough the lower we went, and the tremendous gusts of wind which whistled round us made tho descent most dangerous. Great, spattering raindrops now began to fall and we halted on a ledge of rock, utterly worn out. The storm increased and in a short time was at its height. The rain came down in torrents, completely drenching us. The lightning with blinding flashes played all round, hissing and illumining for an instant the awful grandeur of the scene, while tho thunder pealed and crashed overhead, each crag and wall of rock echoing the sound and increasing it an hundred fold. We had thrown our rifles away, afraid that the lightning would 6trike them. and stood waiting for the storm to abat e. When we resumed our descent we were trembling with cold in every limb. The air, which was warm enough before, was now piercingly cold and the wind drove snow and bits of ico ajrainst our faces with blindincr force. I went first, and for a long time neither of us spoke. Only when a particularly dangerous place was crossed I gave the warning, "Look to the right! or'Tothe left!" as the case might be. Siegel led the way when I was tired, and thus we proceeded with the greatest caution, as a false step would have been ilmost certain death, till wo got to more level ground. Hero wo again encountered thickets of knieholz. We were already congratu lating ourselves on having got the worst over, when we were suddenly stopped by a precipice or "Wand," down which it would have been impossible for a goat to go. It was a sheer descent of at least eighty feet. This was a dreadful disappointment. We walked along the edge for some way, but as far as we could 6ee the Wand ex tended for miles. I had already thrown myself on the ground and had given up all hopes of life, when a shout from Siegel, who had gone on a little way, made me once more spring to my feet. I hastened to him. He was standing over a narrow hole in the rock almost hidden by bushes of the knieholz. "We are 6aved! we are saved!" he cried He explained to rue how, when I had given up in despair, ho suddenly thought that he remembered the place we were in, and had remembered, too. that if it were indeed the part of the mountain he supposed it to be. there htj a circular hole in the rock forming the Wand by which tho chamois hunters scaled the otherwise inaccessible place. He had gone on, had found the opening, and fearful of losing the spot had stood over it and called till 1 came. We slid safely down this chimney like hole, which is not much more - than twenty feet in depth, and easily descend ing the lower part of the Wand, which is here much broken, arrived, famished and half frozen, at 10 o'clock at night, at a woodman's hut Sisel knew of in the valley below. Hero we obtained warmth and shelter. Three of the woodmen immediately started up the mountain and returned in a tew liours with poor rranz, who was very much exhausted, not so much from cold as Gotting had contrived to light a fire, and they had provisions as from loss of blood. 1 once asked Siegel what he would have done if he had not found that open. ing- We fslioiijij, no saia. "have struck our alpenstocks into the ground, and haFe walked round them all the night to keep off sleep, which if it conquered us would, of course, have been fatal. If we lived till day broke we should have tried to find our way back to the others." Whether we were likely to succeed in so doing, cold, hungry and exhausted as we were, the reader may judge. As for Franz, ho completely recowred from his wound and I have hunted many a time with huu since that memorable day. Tho Marquis of Lome in Youth's Companion.
