JACKED BY A BICYCLE
A Wheelmans Adventure with art
Adirondack Deer
A young woodsman had a curious ad
Venture the other night in the -wild
jwoods of Morehouseville In the AdI j
irondacks He was riding along the
road on a bicycle His lamp was lit
and the light It threw was powerful
Suddenly In the road ahead a form
loomed up In the light thrown by the
lamp Two turns of the pedals showed
that it was a deer which hearing no
jsound and seeing nothing but the
light had been literally Jacked as
much as ever a deer was jacked from
a boat along a backwoods stream The
sight flabbergasted the young man and
1then bef ore he thought to jump off he
Tilt the deer fair in the side and doubled
lt up In a heap
I Of what followed the young woods
man has no distinct recollection Ho
got mixed up In some way with some
thing For a brief Instant he felt deer
jhide under his hands then something
hit him in the side and he went over
jlnto a ditch among the briars
i By and by he got up and examined
his wheel The handle bars were bent
land some spokes needed straightening
The lamp was dented in several places
but would still show a light the glass
having been untouched When he got
things somewhat straightened out he
began to examine the road There
y -was jl place that looked like a deers
L Tolling place with the Imprints of a
mans hand In the middle A long
mark showed where the deers hoofs
had slipped in the dirt The deer was
not to be seen
NEVER HEARD OF HIM
tet Chinatown Gave Li Hung Chans
a Royal Reception
The visit of Li Hung Chang to China
town was an event the like of which
was never before known In that famous
quarter of New York City Flags ban
ners and lanterns of all sizes shapes
and colors together with other decora
tions made a gorgeous sight that fair
ly bewildered the eye But In spite of
the great reception he was given by
his countrymen it Is said on the author
ity of one of the largest merchants of
the colony that very few residents of
Chinatown had heard even the name
of the viceroy until they learned that
She was going to visit New York City
The decorations which hung in such
great profusion from every building
and window in the colony were put
out In a purely mechanical way and
expressed no sentiment of loyalty to
their countryman
In China the viceroy goes about his
business without attracting any atten
tion and his name Is not known among
the masses it is said except in large
cities and along the line of navigable
rivers The inland Chinamen know lit
tle about rulers except the local author
ities and if LI Hung Chang went
through China he would not attract
one quarter the attention that was giv
en to his presence in Mott street The
viceroy is only a great man in China
town because he is honored by Ameri
can and the Celestials fell in line and
took their queue from what they
saw and heard
A bride in Montreal appeared at the
altar with her pet canary fastened to
her shoulder by a golden chain During
the marriage ceremony the bird broke
Into song
Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is eomfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease but simply to a eonstipated condi
tion of the system which the pleasant
family laxative Syrup of Figs prompt
ly removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts It is therefore
all important in order to get its bene
ficial effects to note when you pur
chase that you have the genuine article
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co only and sold by all rep
utable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular then laxa
tives or other remedies are not needed
If afflicted with any actual disease one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians but if in need of a laxative
then one should have the best and with
the well informed everywhere Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

IOadinfj Fodder Made Easy
Low wagons are a great convenience
greatly lessening labor in filling silos
hauling fodder manure etc A num
ber of low frames to be attached to or
dinary wagons have been illustrated
in these columns during the past year
F N Buckingham of Iowa describes
in American Agriculturist the fodder
loader shown It has been used in
Iowa with very satisfactory results
The timbers a a are the hayrack sup
ports on a

loader is attached at b b by means of
a long bolt c is a 2x4 which extends
under the wagon and has a sharp iron

point d catches in the ground and
throws the loader up over the wagon
dropping the fodder on the rack Two
or three shocks can be put on at once
The loader is left on the field Make
of material sufficiently strong to hold
the number of shocks put on each time
Clip the Queens Wings
From long experience in managing an
fjpiary we have come to the conclusion
that clipping the queens wings is a
decided advantage No swarms will
then escape to the woods The owner
can go from home attend church with
out having his mind disturbed with
thoughts of losing swarms in his ab
feence It is better to do this than run
the risk of losing excellent queens and
swarms The bees will never leave for
good if the queen does not accompany
ihem This of course has reference to
first swarms as second swarms may
issue at any time with a young queen
fully fledged like Minerva from the
head of Jove ready for flight and legiti
mate business These latter can also
be prevented by opening the hives after
they have cast swarms examining
carefully the combs and cutting out
all queen cells but one in each hive
If this is done no second swarm will
issue Colmans World
Flootintr Fence
An excellent water fence is shown
herewith Some short cross logs sup
port one two or more lengths of stout
rails that form the bottom of the fence

right stakes are driven to support the
upper rail The lengths of fence are
chained -together The outer log is an
chored up stream and down stream
with sufficient length of chain to per
mit the rising and falling of the fence
This plan is sirlendid for tide water
rivers and good wherever the rise is
not likely to be so sudden as to wash
it away
System on the Farm
In every department of labor the es
sential to success is a systematic meth
od System is especially needed in
farm work because thrift of so many
living things is in the power of the
farmer There should be a regular
hour for feeding stock Animals soon
learn the hour for their meals when
given regularly and are impatient of
delay Bawling bleating or squealing
for an hour before each meal does not
hasten the development of fat in calves
-lambs or pigs At other times the food
is given too soon the animal not being
hungry and not prepared to make the
best use of it There should be a cer
tain hour at which to begin feeding in
the morning and a time at which to
quit feeding at night or rather evening
for we dont believe in feeding after
dark except in the shortest December
days The farmer who feeds his stock
by lantern light during spring and fall
months will be apt to get crops in late
and pick corn till holidays The fam
ily meals should not vary ten minutes
from the specified time neither should
the men ever keep meals waiting Chil
dren should be off to school on time
neither too late or too early They will
be more apt to have their lessons on
time if everything is regular at home
The work is so much easier to do when
every one knows his time and place

Do Away with the Swill Barrel
Because a hog will eat anything is no
reason why it should be either offered
or allowed to eat decayed odorous and
unclean food It is expected that ulti
mately the hog will be eaten by our
selves or some one who would like to
be as squeamish about taking anything
that is unclean Into their systems
There ought to be no such thing as a
swill barrel holding for weeks and
even months a compound of sour milk
dish washings and other refuse from
the kitchen or table There is no rea
son why the daily product of swill
should not be eaten as soon as made
Every days neglect to dispose of it
lessens its value besides the danger
which every neglected swill barrel is
to the health of all in the house or even
in the neighborhood
Poultry Pointers
Buckwheat is fattening when
fed
sparingly is egg producing
Sell the culls as soon as possible in
order to save feed and give more room
Do not set the drinking vessels too
low if you do the fowls will scratch
dirt into them
Let the nests be in a dark place The
hens like it better and are less liable to
acquire the habit of egg eating
Fowls left to select their food doubt
less would take seeds insects and
grass We should come as near as pos
sible supplying these preferences
If your hens lay soft shelled eggs it
is because there is not enough lime in
their food Feed them grit gravel
oyster shell plaster or ground bone
There is considerable difference be
tween selling eggs for 10 cents and 25
or 30 cents a dozen consequently it will
pay to pack theni in salt Salt is cheap
and packing eggs in it does not destroy
it
Captain Heaton the well known Eng
lish game fowl enthusiast once paid

Dont haul your fruit to market in a
lumber wagon but use a strong spring1
wagon with a large platform It saves
your fruit from mashing
If you mix windfalls with pickea
fruit they will detract from the fine
qualities of your fruit from the prices
and worst of all from the excellence of
your reputation Keep them separate
If the ants are cutting the leaves off
your fruit trees fasten a wisp of loose
cotton around the stem of the tree be
tween ground and the first branch the
ants tangle in this and cant climb
over it
In packing fruit for shipment no pur
pose is served by ventilation other than
the escape of moisture The contact of
fresh air hastens decay Have the
psckage on the outside as dry as possi

Just after the gathering of fall ap

CAUGHT IN HER OWN TRAP
A Jealous Wife Kcsortcd to Little
Trick that Was Well Carried Out
Mrs Pringle had been married Just
six months and would have been bliss
fully happy but she was one of thoso
women who never can let well enougi
alone She was inclined to be jealous
of Mr Pringle and was filled with sur
mises that had no actual foundation
But she decided to set a trap for him
and it never occurred to her that she
might possibly fall iuto it herself
One day when Mr Pringle went home
to dinner his wife handed him a Dote
which she said had been left for him
that morning He opened it and after
scanning it hastily thrust it indiffer
ently into his pocket
Anything important asked his
wife in a tone trembling with excite
ment
No o A business matter that is
all
You seem well pleased with it sug
gested Mrs Pringle
Mr Pringle laughed He also blush
ed His wife detected evidences of
conscious guilt in the fact that he did
not offer to show her the letter Yes
she thought she had him safely trapped
and the knowledge made her utterly
wretched
Mr Pringle read the note over again
on his way to the office
Dear Sir I have often seen and
admired you from a distance and would
be greatly pleased to make your ac
quaintance Meet me this afternoon at 4
at the approach to Belle Isle bridge
I will wear a blue dress and cany a
bunch of pink roses
ADMIRER
At the hour specified the woman in
the blue dress was there A man who
was not Mr Pringle walked up to her
I have your note he began but
she turned on him like a fury How
dare jou speak to me I am here to
meet my husband by appointment
I guess not You are here to meet
Mr Pringle who sent me to see what
you
Wretch If you address another
word to me Ill call for help
Excuse me but if Mr Pringle had
expected to meet his wife I am sure ho
would have come
Mrs Pringle took a passing car and
went home She had changed her dress
and butter wouldnt have melted in her
mouth when Mr Pringle came in She
thinks she has proved her husbandto
be a model of rectitude but she doesnt
know that he spotted Admirer at the
first glimpse of her disguised handwrit

An Honest Statesman
Jules Simon the celebrated French
statesman who died not long ago will
ingly endured plain living that he
might indulge high thinking Louis
Napoleon was anxious that Simon
should join the imperial party but
from his chair at the Sorbonne -he
spoke scathingly of the coup detat as
an outrage against liberty His lec
tures were suppressed in consequence
and the honest lecturer had to begin
the battle of life over again as he had
no private fortune Every lecture
room in France was closed to him and
he was compelled to find his audiences
in Belgium
He returned to France in 1861 to es
tablish a number of model lodging
houses for working people with mon
ey that had been contributed for that
purpose The emperor welcomed him
iback and approved the scheme but
hinted to him through the medium of
a friend that any such houses must be
opened under the patronage of the
emperor
To this Monsieur Simon replied that
he would do no such thing the money
had been raised without the emperors
aid and he did not propose to give
credit where it was not due There
upon the emperor told the police to
watch him as a dangerous man
At the same time the emperor set
Monsieur Simons old friends who had
bowed to the imperial yoke to tempt
ing him to cast his lot with them The
Empire wanted a man of tact sense
and spirit to undertake the Education
Department A salary of twenty
thousand dollars a year said one
House rent free patronage and per
quisites insinuated another The
chance of doing good put in a third
tempter And the friendship of the
empress who reads all your books and
admires them said a fourth
M Jules Simon was lodging on a fifth
floor The rooms were not large nor
the furniture sumptuous He retorted
with a quiet smile
I attach little importance to forms
I am an advocate of simple freedom
Bring me liberty in any form with the
Orleans princes with the Republic or
even with Napoleon and I am ready to
serve you But I am not a footman
and the ministership you would give
me under a regime such as tnis would
a menial office and nothing more
