Why the Bridegroom Looked Flashed.
From the Auburn Advertiser: A
good story is told of one of the numer
ous bridegrooms of yesterday, whose
nervousness hi the face of the ap
proaching event was so great that just
before the ceremony he . inadvertently
donned two boiled shirts. When he
came to pack his traveling bag he dis
covered the loss of a shirt, and an
anxious search was instituted for the
missing garment. The most thorough
inspection of the apartment was made,
but it was futile, and the bridegroom
elect cast reproachful glances at his
best man, who had assisted in the ar
rangements. Finally it occurred to the
perspiring bridegroom that he was un
comfortably hot, and, in a moment of
mental reaction, he argued that, per
haps, it was due to too much clothing.
Investigation proved the soundness of
his theory, and a quick shift of attire
was made. The waiting company won
dered at the flush in the bridegroom's
cheeks as he entered the parlors, but
it was all explained later.

Hla Small Dog Saved Hla Ufa.
From the Philadelphia Press: Glou
cester dispatch: John Van Der Werf,
about 35 years old. a bartender in this
city, was found buried up to his neck
in mud in a marsh near Newtown
Creek bridge, this city, early this morn
ing, by Edward Carey. Carey was
walking along the tracks, when a small
dog came rushing toward him, whining
in a piteous manner. It then rushed
toward the marsh, and finally Carey
concluded to investigate the cause of
the dog's actions, and started for the
marsh.
When within a few yards of the
marsh Carey was startled to hear
moans. Carey aroused Patrick Mea
ley, his son. Timothy Mealey; Daniel
Kane, and Frederick Emminson, who
all reside within a short distance of the
marsh. The searching party soon dis
covered the cause of the small dog's
strange actions, when Van Der Werf
was found buried up to his neck in the
mud. He was extricated. Had the
rescuing party been much longer in dis
covering the man's position he would
have probably disappeared below the
surface of the soft mud.
Queer Calf Freak.
They raise all sorts of freaks in New
Mexico, but the most novel one report
ed in many months is a calf monstro
sity. The cow that gave birth to it
belonged to the La Cueva Ranch Com
pany. The calf had two perfectly
formed and fully developed heads
joined to one body. That is, there was
apparently but one body, but an exam
ination revealed surprising things. It
showed that the wonderful calf was
practically a double animal. There
were two fully developed hearts and
two sets of lungs, two sets of stom
achs, and, in fact, two of nearly all the
vital organs, although some or them
were merely rudimentary. Another
strange thing about the strange calf
was that it had a fifth leg, which was
attached to the brisket of the animal.
Now the calf is dead and wolves are re
sponsible for the loss to the museum
managers of a great drawing card. A
pack of wolves attacked and killed both

The Pall Adder
One of the most dangerous inhabi
tants of the tropical forests is the puff
adder. It is about five feet in length,
and often as thick as the calf of a
man's leg. This snake, if seen in a
natural history museum, would appear
so conspicuous by reason of its bril
liant coloring of black, green and yel
low stripes, that one would fancy there
would be no danger of any animal
coming upon it unawares. But take it
in its true home, where it lies half
hidden in the background of leaves
green and brown and j-ellow in its for
est environment, and you will at once
see that its stripes are just so many
mimetic designs meant to conceal it
from observation. The puff adder
strikes backwards. So if a touch dis
turbs it on any part of its long body
as it lies resting, it immediately raises
its head and strikes in the direction
of the disturbance. And there Is only
one result death.

This Dnp; Stop Runaway none.
From the Minneapolis Times: A
gentleman who makes bis home at the
Hotel Berkeley is the possessor of a
fine St. Bernard which deserves a gold
medal. The dog has developed a strong
penchant for stopping runaway horses,
and the last time the stop was accom
plished just in time to save a party of
ladies from serious injury and perhaps
worse. His master was driving down
Portland avenue last Saturday when
he was startled by a cry of "Lookout!"
He turned and was just in time to
wheel his horse out of the way of a
runaway, which was tearing down the
avenue. Just ahead there was a party
of ladies who could not possibly escape
what seemed certain death to some of
them, when the dog. who had been
following and who seemed by instinct
to comprehend the impending tragedy,
gave a leap and caught the lines of the
runaway between his teeth, his great
weight bringing the frightened animal
to his hannches, just as he was about
to strike one of the ladies, who seemed
too terrified to move.

It is stated that there are 1,000,000
blind people in the world, or one to
every 1,500 inhabitants. Latest reports
show 23,000 blind persons in Great
Britain, or 870 for each million in

Russia and Ecypt are the countries
where the blind constitute the largest
proportionate number of the total pop
ulation, in Russia on account of the
lack of experienced medical attention,
and in Egypt because of ophthalmia
due to irritation caused by the move

Whe he saw that the end was near he
requested that he might be buried by

of Agriculture.
They are good for

onsequence of their late RTOwthnu

s desirable to raise enough simply for
amily use. select a spot of good rich

A New Moth Invasion.
A new and disastrous Insect pest has
made Its appearance In Massachusetts
.nd is causing a sensation in the state.
.t is of a caterpillar species, and is a
. oracious feeder on the foliage of trees,
.leleiably fruit trees. The following
tatement has been Issued by Prof. C.
:. Fernald. entomologist to the Hatch
Apenmcnt station at the Massachu-t-tts
Agricultural College: "It
s my unpleasant duty to call atten
ion to the presence of an Injurious in
ject rest, which Is committing great ln
ary to the fruit trees in Cambridge
nd Scmerville, and which has been
mistaken for the Gypsy moth by the

:n England by the name of the Brown

trhirh is widely distributed In the old
world, and which is very injurious 10
fruit and foreign trees. I have before me
a copy of the law enacted in Belgium,
many years ago, requiring the land
owners to clear this insect from the
trees and giving the best methods of
accomplishing this wark. Similar Iaw3
were enacted In France and other Eu
ropean countries at a much earlier
date. The insect is now in the cater
pillar state and Its destructive capa
bilities are abundantly shown by the
defoliated pear trees along Somervllle
avenue and adjacent streets. The
adult moth Is white, with a dense red
dish brown tuft of hair near the end of
the body and the wings expand about
men and a half. These moths fly
chiefly In the night and lay their eggs
In July In clusters of about 200 or 300
on the under side of the leaves, in a
short time 'the eggs hatch and the
young caterpillars spin compact webs
at the tips of the branches. Within
these webs the caterpillars spend the
winter, emerging early in May, when
they commence to feed voraciously on
the foliage. The caterpillars are quite
hairy, dark brown, with a row of white
spots along each side. I Go not know
how this insect came to this country,
tat as there are nurseries and green
nouses In the Immediate vicinity of
the Infested area, where foreign plants
have been handled to a considerable
extent, it is quite possible tnat me pest
Keplag- Vp Calves.
The practice of keeping calves housed
the first summer of their lives Is be
coming more and more general each
year among progressive dairymen and
beef raisers. Those who are endeavor
ing to find profit In either of those
branches of stock raising are finding
out that protection from heat, flies, and
dried' pasture is about the cheapest and
most effective plan to adopt. No doum
one principal reason why more calves
are riot housed, says Farmers' Advo
cate, Is that It would Involve a certain
amount of regular labor In the shape
of "chores" which so many object to In
ihe summer season; but unless we take
a lively, practical, and sclf-sacrlflclng
Interest in cur business In these tlaes
we cannot hope to reach the goal 0!
greater profits In our business. The
wide-awake and enterprising competi
tors who do things because they should
be done and not draw the line at a
point where an undertaking adds to or j
takes from u little of present personal
Mimfcrt. are the ones that wear the
hopeful expression today and declare
that the times are mending. There is
no question lu the minds of those who
have tried both plans but that Indoor
summering has great advantages over
pasturing after the third week in June.
Sj far as turning the calves out a few
weeks on the fresh pasture before the
heat and files become harmful Is con
cerned, there can be no great disad
vantage, provided the calves are not
less than six or seven weeks old and
the pasture Is abundant and of good
quality. Perfect liberty at mis ume,
along with fresh grass or clover, skim
m!lk. and a lick of oat chop, oil cake,
or the like, will start the youngsters in
the way to be profitable feed consum
ers. So long as these favorable condi
tions exist In the pasture lot there is
no advantage In making changes, but
when the time comes that a cool, darh
stable and mown clover or oats and
taies would give the calves greatei
comfort, just at that time should such
conditions be administered. This is
more particularly applicable to calves
that are to become beeiers, Decause we
want to sell for money some time in
the future every pound of gain out

pacity for service.
Purchasing Bees.
This Is one of the puzzles to the be
ginner, when to buy. All things con
sidered, I think the spring the best
time. In the hands of the master, it
might pay to buy in the fall, as they
can be bought much cheaper then. But
a novice would not know whether they
were in proper condition to winter suc
cessfully or not, or what to do In case
they were not, or how to prepare them
in case they needed special attention
preparatory to going into winter quar
ters. But by purchasing in the spring,
even though they cost a dollar per col
ony more, there is no risk to run, for
with a reasonable season they will pay
for themselves, and there will be some
thing left. I would advise buying as
near home as possible, to save express
charges, as It is very difficult to ship
small lots of bee3 by local freight. If
you feel timid about handling them, I
should advise buying pure Italians, as
they are more quiet than the blacks or
hybrids; but if you are not. I would
not pay larger prices for any particular
strain you may see advertised in the
bee journals. The honey gathered by
the blacks and hybrids Is just as sweet,
and the quantity just as great as that
gathered by the high-toned or high
priced races, and no bee on earth builds
such delicate combs or caps its honey
with such virgin whiteness as the poor,
despised black bee. I would advise, it
possible, to buy full, strong colonies,
and wherever you may live.I should ad
vise having them moved or shipped
about the time apple trees blossom.
Make your purchase as early as pos
sible, but don't be in a hurry to have
them moved; they are much better
where they are until settled warm
weather has come to stay, and the blos
soms are producing nectar. Perhaps
some 'of you don't feel able to buy
strong colonies; if not, you can buy
two, three or four-frame uuciei for less
money and at less cost of transporta
tion. These you can build up during
the season, and make good colonies of
them by fall, but you could not reason
ably expect much Increase In number,
or much surplus honey, while, on the
other hand, with strong colonies you
can double your spring count, and with
a good season and good management
get enough surplus honey to pay for
the colonies you buy in the spring. I
advise beginners to make haste slowly,
and make the bees pay their way every
season; then should you meet with win
ter losses you will be nothing out but
your time, and will have your expe
rience, hives and combs left to begin
with another spring, all 01 which you
will find valuable. Ex.

"My hair, you perceive. Is gray,
what there is left of it." said the old
man to tho Texas Siftings writer.
So are my whiskers. A spell ago
my wife, who is fifteen years younger
than 1 am. took it into her head that
her old man ought to spruce himself
up a bit One daughter was going
to rret married, and she thought I
ought to try and look as peart as
possible at tho wedding.
What can I do?" said I.
"Color your hair and whiskers,"
said she
Sho had read an advortisement in
some paper about a wonderful hair
dye, and sho went to tho drug storo
and bought a bottlo of it. I didn't
havo much faith in it, but just to
please her I tried it I put somo on
my whiskers that night and awaited
results. Tho next morning I got up,
washed myself, and taking a german
silver comb out of my pocket found
it turned black. Ihen I dis
covered that I had daubed my shirt
bosom and cuffs."
How did your whiskers look?"
somo one asked.
There was a streak of black
across both knees of my nankeen
trousers," continued the old man.
But the whiskers."
"Took out my silver watch and
that was tarnished."
"Wore your whiskers colored?
That's what I want to know."
Had occasion to uso a little
change. Pulled out somo silver
pieces- from my pocket, and hanged
if thev didn't turn black, too."
"Your whiskers, were they "

looked as though it had gone through

Can't you tell mo how your

Found some black spots on tho
carpet and wall paper, and some of
tho furniture was stained with if
And vour whiskers woro dyed,

"Thunder, no! I had blacked

poor of Denver for the season of 1897,
were open to tillers on arbor day.

land to farm for a living during the
summer months. An abundance of land
has been placed at the disposal of the
poor. The plowing, and all work nec
essary to place the land In condition
