In St. Paul, Minn., Campbell and Ted
Seguin heard one day that there was
fine wild turkey shooting in the vicin
ity. "Turkeyp," said Ted. I must have
some."
So must I," said Campbell. "We'll
go out shootisg, Ted, and have a day's
sport."
'M5o we wili."
Bright and early the next morning
they were up, and loaded with powder
and shot and a double barreled shot gun
they started off.
There wasn't a "gobbler" within 50
miles, and after five or fcix hours' patient
rambling they became less particular at
what they fired than they had been.
The dusk of evening was coming on.
but not a turkey, or for that matter, any
thing else in the shape of game, had
been hit. Ted Seguin's Bight would be
spoiled by his eye glasses tumbling
from his nose, just as he was about to
pull the trigger, and Campbell scorned
anything less than a full grown gobbler
on the wing.
Saddened aid weary they plodded on
homeward.
"What shall we do, Ted?" said Sher.
"It'll never do to come home without
something.''
"We had better not," replied Ted.
"We will never hear the last of it."
"I have it," suddenly broke out Camp
bell. "I know where they have them
for sale. We'll buy a couple and shoot
them."
They started off to a poultry merchant
where they bad noticed game for sale,
and a bargain was struck for a couple of
live tui keys tame ones which were
set at the end of the back yaid. and
nearly blown to pieces by the two sports
men. "You'll dress those and send them
down to the hotel this evening, will
you?" said they to the poultry dealer.
MYis sir; faith an' I'll do that same,"
was the answer. The sportsmen went
home in good spirits. -
"Did you shoot any turkeys, Sher?"
asked the ladies when they arrived at
the hotel.
"Why of course we did; that's what
we went out for."
"Where are they?"
"Oh, they'll be here presently we left
them to be dressed. We'll have them
for dinner to-morrow,"
"An hour or so aiterward, the turkeys
arrived partially wrapped up, and were
taken to the rooms of the ladies for ex
hibitimi.
"Now, Fanny," said Sher to Fanny
Stockton, who was prima donna of
the troop, look at them, aren't they
fine ones?" and Seguin and he uad the
covering off in a twinkling, and . laid
them on the table for inspection.
"What do you think of them, Zelda?"
said Seguin to Miss Harrison.
"There were exclamations of admira
tion at fir! from the ladies, then a puz
zled gaze stole over their faces and they
looked uj at one another.
"What did you say thote were, Sher?"
asked Fanny Stockton.
"Why turkeys, of course," said Sher,
proudly.
Certainly, turkeys; we shot them
ourselves," said Ted, gifing a glowing
description of the woodt in which they
were shot and the difficulty they expe
rienced in getting near them.
Then there teas a laugh. "Turkeys,"
said the ladies when they had regained
their breath.
"Why, what's the matter?'
Another peal of laughter from the
girls was their answer, to the astonish
ment of the sportsmen who were begin
ing to feel very uneasy, and were think
ing it were possible they might have
been 'given away.'
"Will you answer me one question,
Ted?" said Zelda Harrison, as soon as
the liirls had . recovered a little equa
nimity. "Certainly," was the sententious an
swer. "How long ajo is it since turkeys be
gan to wear webbed feet!"
The rascally poultry merchant had
sent a couple of geese to the hotel.

One full-blown, in a white embroid
ered skirt, with a plaited waist, looked
like a Venetian woman of the Renais
sance. Above the divine softness of the
satin you saw her curved and pearly
neck, and on the blond tresses of her
abundant hair a simple band of floating
lace. She seemed tall and straight as
a Diana in the long folds ot her 'o;-W,
dress; her bodice, ornamented wi.
ver embroidery, delicately suggesteM
thought of a dashv hussar. She walk'
rapidly, and her dragging train tremblet
like the drapery of a goddess, while the
bouquets of brilliants in her hair flashed
bouquet
like sword-blades. Another, frail, slight,
the face projecting, with a thin nose,
trembling lips, pale eyes, and hair all in
disorder beneath her diamonds, seemed
to emit fisBbes and 6parks from every
part of her person. Seated or standing,
she never seemed to touch the ground.
The inward mettle, the irrepressible out
bursts and contortions of her nervous
organization, sent momentary shivers
through her nervous frame. About this
slight neck ripples a row of diamonds
a circle of living eyes, pale as the flam
ing eyes of magic, serpents These
women chat and seem deligtbed with
their conversation. What would you
not give to hear what they are saying?

We think this yarn was spun about
the first day of the fourth mrath of
well, most any year: A mine of liquid
sulphur is now being worked near Pa
lermo, Sicily that is, the sulphur is be
ing lemoved as it runs from the fiseares
in the rock, at the rate of some forty or
filty tons a day. The sulphur proceeds
from a mine in the interior of the moun
tain, which interior is in a molten state.
The laborers, it appears, are often
obliged to stop up the fissures from which
the molten sulphnr runs, so as to give it
time to cool sufficiently to be removed,
after which the fissures are again un
stopped. It seeais that, on a recent oc
casion, on opening one of those fissures,
ao sulphur was found, and the idea en
tered the heads of the workmen to
reopea the hole bj blasting. They sac
ceeded in re-establishing a communica
tion with the interior, bat the pressure
had become so strong daring the ob
struction that the expansion of the gas
prodaced a terrible explosion, iavolving
a serioas lorn of life.

Owing, it is said, id ri.0,1 solid reasons

the lady in question, Mle. Latour, lately
brought back the neciiacc and claimed
the 16,000 francs, butdl. Bloch was not
disposed to abide by tlis agreement. It

urged, adding that in jonsiquence of the
events ot 1870-1871 hi had lost much bv

The migratory nature of certain extinct
animals may -afjly be assumed from
their nihilities with living species; but
direct proof of this, of some value, has
lately been obtained in England. In a
quarry near Castleton in Derbyshire is a
fissure, called the Windy Knoll fissure,
which has been ascertained to contain
the bones of a great number of bison,
reindeer, grizzly bear, wolf, fox, hare,
rabbit, aud water rat. These were con
fusedly mingled, and the crevice has
been filled partly with stalagmite, but
mostly with lam. From the relation of
the fissure to the drainage of the sur
rounding country, it has been suggested
that the animals fell into it when they
went to drink and were washed in by
floods. Prof. Ddwkius thinks it tntty
have lain in the path of the bison and
reindeer in their aunual migrations, the
carnivorous animals being caught as they
followed the herds to run down strag
glers. From an examination of the young
teeth of the bison and reindeer, he con
cluded that those animals passed the
crevice at different seasons of the year,
sou.e falling in ou their northwird trip,
and some on the home journey. The
fissure was open in the newest pliocene,
but whether before or-after the glacnu
era, cannot now tc determined.
It is strange that the Mosaic prescrip
tion for man's diet, chiefly taken from
the tabernacle rites, have become, by
common consent, the bill of fare of civ
nized society; with variations, of course.
In the cities, especially, the maiu articles
oi food are those which the laws of Mo
ses recommended. When in former day
peoplu dieted largely on pork, many
leople became hogs themselves, and
many diseases still raging among men
have been conveyed int the hum n sys
tem by the consumption of pork, rabbits,
hares and other animal food which the
luw forbids. Physiologists understand
well enough the importance of diet, and
yet none have gone to the trouble o
giving the Mosaic dietary la5 a thor
ough scientific examination. Here are
the Jews, after 3,000 years, a healthy,
intelligent, energetic, and fertile race.
Much is said about their longevity, tem
perance, charitable disposition, etc.; still
no scientist has taken the trouble to
examine the food on which this race
lived and thrived. The point is cer
tainly, scientifically, very important.
American ItaeliU.
A Folate Joke.
A certain Oregon professor was a very
fatherly sort of a man, particularly
toward his young lady pupils. When
ever a young lady would ask a question
he would place his band lovingly on her
head, address her as though she were a
little child, and make considerable more
fuss than was necessary. Of course the
girls got tired of this, and conspired to
break him of his fatherly proclivities.
One of them hit upon a plan. She fixed
up a nice little pin cushion, had the
pins inserted so that they would stand
on their heads, points upward, and then
adjusted the infernal machine on top of
her head, covering it with just enough of
her hair to bide it from view. This done,
she left her seat during lie session,
walked demurely up to the professor's
desk, stood a moment in his august
presence, and then, in a meek and
plaintive tone of voice, she asked him
for the information as to whether Wash
ington crossed the Delaware on the ice
or on horseback when he left Trenton.
He raised his hand over her head and
soothingly said: Wby, my dear little
child," Well have to end his sen
tence there, tor the balance of the
exclamation was a sort ot half howl, half
whoop, which we can neither write nor
print. Just as be said "child," be low
ered his hand caressingly out lorcibly
npon the crown of the girl's bead, and
the whole sarface of hie extended palm
felt the tickliag aad exhilarating of n
coaple of dosea ul aa point. SaXam

to me, and at his lequest I helped him
in, but I jumped out myself, because we
could not get the boat off the deck, and
at this time the ea commenced to break
on the deck and the ship was bouncing,
and men, women and children were run
ning alout screamini;. I ran to the first
cabin again, and there saw a man I
knew from New York, standing there.
I heard another man tell him not to leave
because it would be the best place on
the ship. His wife and his two children
were standing by his side, and each ot
them had a life-preserver on. I think
his name was Roscmblucm. I then ran
to another boat on the quarter-deck, and
there I saw my friend Marks Powcrtee,
a German, with a life-preserver on. I
asked him where he got it, and be said
from under his pi low. I ran to the
stairs of the first cabin to get one from
my berth, but went back again, ran to
the boat where I was leforc, and placed
my hands on it. One man in the boat
said: "If you don't let go I will cut
your hands off" He said this in Ger
man. I then went to another boat and
got into it. There were seven men in it.
At that time the boat was swinging, but
it could not be let down, because the
rope was fast. I think one of the oaa
cers cut one of the ropes, and our boat
fell into the water. At that time a big
wave came up, filled the boat with water
immediately, and drove us right under
the ship; but another succeeded and
d ovc us out agtin. Our boat got fall
of water. We commenced bailing it
out with our hands, our hats and eur
boots. One of the men In the boat
shouted to a man oa the deck, I think it
was one of the officer?, to throw him a
bucket, but he did not do so.
We kept rowing about the ship all tat
time until C o'clock in the morning. Ail
this time the fog was very thick, and
we could see nothing bat the lights in
the cabin of the ship, and all this time
the screaming as heartrending. But
we could see nobody on board. The
screaming lasted till about 4 o'clock,
and the last ecreamiag that I heard, and
which I shall never forget, was the voice
of a little child, who was, we believed.
in the first cabin. The lights in the
cabin, aad all except the matt head
light, went out. Mixed up with the
heartrending screaming was the load
cracking of the ship as wave after ware
broke upon her. The reports sounded
like thunder. We continued by the ship
till about 6 o'clock, when the foremast
with the light fell, and then we coaid
see nothing more of the vessel; bat we
could bear the water breaking over it,
and the spray dashing over the hall,
both the masts and the chimneys having
disappeared. We then rowed away to
keep off the breakers. The fog by this
time had cleared somewhat. We heat
rowing, bat did not know which way we
re goiag as we had ao compass. We
eeatiaaed rowing till abont o'clock,
when the fog began to clear, aad thea
