A Novel Methbd.of Getting ,Thetu in ‘ Range to Shoot: At. .“T'hey have a queer way of hunting mountain goats up in the mountains back of Skaguay,” said D. J. McKin- Iiey, the “Mayor of Skaguay.” ‘_‘The boys at one of my camps told me one clay that they had seen some goats up in the, hills and they asked me if I wanted to go along, to huntlthem. Of course I did, and we were soon climb- ing high up on the mountains, away above the altitude that I thought any living creaturevwould live. Still up and up we went. The boys were try- ing to get above a place where they had seen the goats a few days before. When they had located the proper point they selected a huge bowlder and got me to help them tipit over. It took the combined strength of three Of us to get the rock started. VWhen it did get to going the havoc it caused on its way down to the valley was something fearful. Then the boys told me to get ready for a surprise. We all got our rifles ready and waited. It was only a short time until We saw emerging from the scrubby growth be- low us three fine goats. They came toward us, bounding from crag to crag, and apparently heedless of the danger they were running into. They came to within sixty yards of us and we brought down all three. “I learned then that the goat always tries to get above rolling rocks, and that it is a favorite way of hunting them.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. HE HAS A- SERVICEABLE HIP. Swindler Dislocates It at Will and Rail- roads I’ay Him Damages. Some time ago a man fell on- the platform of a train about five miles out of Indianapolis. His heel caught in a crack and his hip was dislocated by the fall. Three surgeons examined him, including the company’s surgeon, and- all declared that the man would be a cripple for life. paid $2,200 and his lawyer’s fees. In addition to this he was furnished with a baggage car and transportation for his lawyer and a nurse to go wit-h him to Chicago. The railroad Officials felt they hadmade a cheap settlement. The other day a. man fell on a platform of the Norfolk and Western in Virginia and worked the same old story of the dislocated 'hip. But 'he had been seen an the previous day hunting for a place to catch his heel. A traveling man was present and recognized him as the man who had been paid by the Indian- apolis road. An investigation reveal- ed that the man was a professional contortioni-st and could dislocate any part of his body without pain. He has swindlcc‘. several roads—Chicago Inter- Ocean. A Remarkable Cane. President Soden of the Boston, Base- ball Club received a cane recently that was made by a convict of the Animora Prison, Iowa. '_ The cane is a curiosity. It is made of maple wood, and on it are carved the likenesses and names of thirteen members of the champion baseball team of 1897, in the highest style of workmanship. The top of the cane is' of agate, and inlaid with mother-of- pearl. Above the likenesses appear the words, “Pennant Winners of 1897,” and following are two bats crossed and a fac-simile of a. League ball and - a catcher’s mitt. Although the workman had to do his carving on a. curved surface, he suc- ceeded admirablyvin reproducing the lineaments of his subjects, each face being carved into the wood. It would be an easy matter to recognize most of the players—Boston Herald. Maine’s Fresh Pork Club. To be in the swim in certain parts of Maine, it is necessary to be a member of what are called fresh pork clubs. -These clubs, it appears, are co-opera- tive organizations for killing hogs and keeping the members supplied with fresh pork for the season. The social and sanitary advantages of member- ship in a fresh-pork club are many. As is well known to all Americans who' have lived in the country, pig-killing time begins in September and contin- ues at intervals until the holidays.’ By joining a club a. family can prolong the fresh-pork season for months, as the pork of each slaughterer is divided among the members. But this is not the only advantage of membership. A local paper says that fresh-pork clubs have become so important in many- communities that weddings and social entertainments are arranged so that "they may come off in pig-killingtime.” The MS" Altered It. In the gardens of a well-known no- bleman’s country seat in the south of Ireland, one of the show places Of. the country, pain-ted boards Were set up in different parts of the pleasure grounds, with this request: “Please do not pull any flowers without leave.” Recently the district practical jok-I er passed by that way, and,'observing the notices, procured a paint brush, and unobserved, at daybreak, added an “s” to the last word on all the pain-ted boards, which had the effect of making things. pleasant until the cause was discovered for tourists and strange visitors, who cherished a lat- ent passion for floral gems.

Taught to Pick Up a S raw with Their Eyelids. The dancing girls of Siam are re- markable for the agility and'grace of their movements. The cup dance is the prettiest and most poetic of all. A row of young girls, with a tier of cups on their heads, take their places in the middle of the great hall. A burst of joyous music follows. On hearingthis they simultaneously, with military pre- cision, kneel down, fold their handsand bow their heads until their foreheads almost touch the polished marble floor, keeping the cups steadily on their head-s by some marvelous jerk of the neck. Then, suddenly springing to their feet, they describe a succession of rapid and intricate circles, keeping time to the music with their arms, head and feet. Next the music swells into a rapturous tumult. The dancers raise their delicate feet, curve their arms and fingers in almost impossible flexures, sway to and fro like withes of willow, agitate all the muscles of the body like the flutter of leaves in the soft evening breeze, but still keep the cups on their heads. The dancing girls of Bangkok are always exercising in the royal gymna- sium. Th'eir ages vary from five to twenty years. The curious and sub- tle feat of picking up a bit of straw with the eyelids can be learned only by the youngest of them, who are made to practice it in order to render ‘them ' very flexible in every part of the body. There are two long rows Of benches, one a. little higher than the other. On the lower is a row of little girls and on the upper bench are laid the polished bits of straw. At the sound of the drum the little girls all together bend back the head and neck, until they touch the. bits of straw, which, with wonderful dexterity, they secure be:- tween the corners of their eyelids. PIONEER WOMEN IN JOURNALISM. i ‘ l‘heir Career Extended as Far Back .as the Revolution. 0f the thirty-seven newspapers in the American colonies at the time of the Revolution, several were owned and managed by women. The first newspaper published in ‘ R-hode Island‘was owned and edited by Mrs‘._ Anna Franklin, and established in 1832. She and 'her two daughters wrote 'the items and set the type, and their servants worked the printing press. For her quickness and correct- ness Mrs. Franklin was appointed printer to the colony, supplying pam- phlets to the colonial officers. In 1772 Clementine Reed was publishing a pa- per in Virginia called the Virginia Ga- zette, favoring the colonial cause and greatly offending the Royalists; 'two years later Mrs. H. Boyle started a pa— per under the same name, advocating the cause of the Crown. Both were published at Williamsburg, and both were short lived. In 1773 Elizabeth Timothy started a. paper in Charleston, S. C. After the Revolution Anna Timothy became its editor and was appointed State printer. which position she held for seventeen years. About the same time Mary Crouch started a paper in Charles- town in vigorous Opposition to the Stamp act. She afterward moved it to Salem, Mass, and continued its publi- 2ation for many years.

The following true tale is a most curious instance of living well on noth- ,ing a. year without breaking the laws ‘ of the land. .About twenty years. ago 'a‘steam packet company Of Liverp001 wished to buy a. piece of land which gwas owned by a “stay-at-home spins— fter,.” as her neighbors described her. ' She sold her land at a very low price, I but insisted upon a. clause being in- serted in the agreement giving her the right, at any time during'her life, to travel with a-companion in any of the company’s vessels. When the agreement was closed she sold her furniture and went on board the first out-going ship belonging to the packet company. For years this wise spinster lived nearly all the time upon one ship or another, frequently . accompanied by a companion, accord- ing to the agreement. This was al- ways a person who otherwise would have been a regular passenger, but who purchased her ticket at reduced rates by paying the spinster instead Of the packet company. The company. offered her more than twice the value of the land if ‘she would give up her privilege; but this she would not do. Her reply was: “You got the land cheap, and I likersailing; so we ought both to be satisfied.”—-Lippincott’s Magazine. By our Join Editor. A man can lose his head without be ing beheaded.
