Some of the superstitions of the Chinese are charming. They have an impression that when there is along drought it is because the gods are either angry or in a bad mood. So they dress a dog in a comical way and lead. him through the‘ streets. All the people laugh, and it is supposed that the gods can’t help laughing too. After that, no matter how long after, it is sure to rain, and this proves that the Chinese theory is correct.

A man of five feet ten inches ought to weigh 101 pounds. A mink was caught iii a. trap belong- ing to Silas llurdick, in Potter county, Pa., and walked off three. miles with the tap, when it was caught. in another trap. Nine dollars’ worth of gold dust was found in the crop of a turkey bought by a Sun Franc‘sco man. He has disco-'— ered that the turkey was raised in Rose- burg. Ore. The war expenses of England during the past two centuries have amounted to $5,000,0C0,000. In the Crimean war England spent $350,000,000. Il'cr pres— ' ent debt is $3,300,000,000.

ALL OVER THE FARM. Give your sheep a sunny southern ex- posure protccmd from the north and northwest winds. When the farmer finds that. his stock has improved he should. strive to fur— ther increase their capacity. Unless this is his object he will sooner or later find his stock retrograding. Prof. L. H. Bailey says the Japanese plum is productive, showy, and much more free from disease than European varieties. The fruit is not of the high- est qualit-y, but. is very salable. Place a shovelful of manure around every rose bush, currant bush, rhubarb stalk, and do not forget gooseberry and sage bushes. The manure will protect them and also give them an early start in spring. Keep only the ewes, sell off all the wet-hers as soon as in a marketable condition. W'ith the average farmer, who is keeping only a small number of sheep, the increase is largely the source of profit. Market, too, the scrub ewes. Do not keep too many, but, keep well.

The recent death of the archbishop of Armagh vacates the primacy of the Irish church for the third time with- in the space Of ten years. Maitre Pouillet, one of the most emi- nent lawyers in Paris, has begun an original work of charity. He gives sittings at the Palais de Justice,'at which he offers advice gratis on legal subjects. The object is to help poor people who cannot afford to pay for a lawyer’s services. A dramatist attached to one of the minor Parisian theaters has lost no time in making use of the incidents oi. Dr. Jameson’s defeat in the Transvaal. He completed in two days a four-act play on the subject, and the characters include the names of those who are now familiar to newspaper readers. A life-size statue of the late Sir Theophilus Shepstone in Carrara mar— ble is to be erected in the public square of Pietermaritzburg. He was the British special commissioner who in 1877 proclaimed the Transvaal as Eng- lish territory at Pretoria and acted as administrator of the new colony till March, 1879.

Crocker, of the equine show, “it will be recalled that the horse has always been accorded more protection than any other animal known in the history of America. A person who stole a horse in early days was hanged for it, as his value to civilization was above price. ‘ “I think the funniest story I ever ' heard touching on the horse was told me by an old minister who went out on the plains of Nebraska. to establish a few missions among the Indians and settlers. It appears that after he had been in the state a few weeks he was waited upon by a long, gaunt fellow who wanted to know if the Gospel lead- er wanted to join the Brownsville Horsethief club. He was a little sur- prised at- the suggestion at first, but. upon being informed that the objects of the club were not exactly what the title suggested and that it was an or- ganization for the purpose of protect- ing members’ horses from thieves con- cluded to join and put up his five dol- lars admissiOn fee. In a few days he received a notification that there would be a meeting of the. club at a. place named and that his presence was wanted. . " “He was on hand, and as he was the last one to enter the door was closed behind him and locked. The president of the club banged his fist on the desk and rising said: ‘Members of the Ilorsethicf club, Si Barton’s brown mare has been stolen. I hereby appoint Jack Thomas and Jim Bowers to go on the trail and report next Saturday. The meetin’ is hereby adjourned." “With as little ceremony as it was opened the meeting broke up and the members departed without further comment. The minister was prone to make inquiries regarding the method of dealing with the issue before the house, but received no satisfactory in— formation. On the morning of the fol— lowing Saturday he was notified to be present again and complied. 'Arriving at the meeting place he found the same men there again. Jack Thomas and J 3m Bowers were there also, having came back the night before. Again the president put his fist on the table with a bang and called the meeting to order with: ‘We are now ready to hear the report of the committee of two.’ Bow- ers got up, threw a. cud of tobacco be- hind him and answered: ”We. met the horsethievcs two miles this side of the Kansas line, all of which is respective- ly submitted.’ ‘The meeting is ad- journed,’ howled the president with an- other smash at the desk, and the mem- bers filed out perfectly contented. "The minister this time was thunder- struck. ‘Did Mr. Barton get his horse back?’ he asked. “ ‘Certainly,’ responded a big fellow. “ ‘Wcll, what did they do with the thieves?’ “ ‘Notbin’.’ “ ‘Can it be possible that they will not be brought to Justice?’ “ ‘Oh, that’ll be all right, parson.‘ “-‘Well, what did the committee of two do after they came up with the offenders?” “ ‘Left ’em where they fell, for the coyotes.’ “This, gentlemen,” concluded Mr. Crocker, “shows how the horse used to stand in early days.”———N. Y. Tribune. A|CALF IN THE ROAD. [ts ' Disastrous Efl'ect Upon a Coasting \Vheelwoman. A calf, a. bicycle and 'the young lady were the principal actors in a little comedy a few days since, the scene of which was laid in the vicinity of New York Mills. The young lady and the wheel were bowling merrily along one afternoon when they came to the top of a hill, which offered a fine opportunity for :1 coast. Accordingly, the young lady’s feet went up on the rests and the wheel started for an unt-rammeled cruise down the incline. The coast was clear with the exception of a calf standing inofi‘ensively in the road about half way down the hill. Had it been a mouse, in all proba- bility the fair cyclist would have at. once dismounted and gone around by another route or stopped into some house for assistance, but being only a harmless calf that would in all proba- bility make room at once at the ap- proach of the young lady and her wheel the latter kept steadily on. The calf, however, apparently had. different views concerning the right of way and calmly stood his ground. The wheel had now gained quite an impetus, and despite the frantic efforts of its rider it struck the astonished calf with a vim, and in some unaccountable man- ner the young lady brought up on her hands and knees, with her head be- tween the calf’s hind legs. This was too much for the latter, as well as for the fair cyclist, and he moved ‘off in double-quick time, leaving the wheel and its owner to reorganize and con- tinue.—Utica Daily Press. Electric Lights in Theaters. It is believed that the first electric light installed in an American theater was a Jablochkoff cafidle, used as a focusing lamp in the old California theater, in Bush street, San Francisco, in 1878. The managers of the theater at that time were Messrs. Barton and Hill, Gen. Barton and Frank Lawler. The play was “Antony and Cleopatra,” Rose Eyt-inge and Cyril Searle taking the leading parts. A. H. Reece was the engineer in charge of the work. Seven- teen years have worked a complete rev— olution in theatrical lighting, and to- day there is not a theater in the United States which could dispense with the electric lights—N. Y.
