Peter and the Wolves.
j?
About thirty years ago, a Norwegian, I
named Jan Jauseu, came to this conn- n
try, and settled in the back woods of j t
what was then old Virginia, clearing a ! s
farm in the mountain wilderness near . b
the Cheat rirer. j tj
. These mountain fastnesses were then, ; i(
sis, indeed, they are still, tenanted by f,
the bear, the great gray wolf (not the j I
comparatively harmless cayote of the
West), and even the panther. j
The Jansens were genial, kind-hearted | g
folk, and counted everybody a neighbor ; a
and a friend who lived within a circuit I
of thirty miles. J a
If Jan or his wife were needed in time j f;
of sickne&B or other emergency, they I fl
' took Pefqr and Greta and set out, leav-j
ing the cabin locked, and the,key bung ! b
outside, according to the custom of the
country. I
"Some Christian soul," they said, s
_^_^miglit need shelter or a meal, and the n
beasts oould not unlock tie door. ^ a
Fear of the wild beasts prevented t
their leaviDg the children at home, c
ciiougn, in lacs, neimer uear uur pun- z
tier were ever known to approach a j tl
house, and wolves only in case of ex o
treme hanger. ti
After living in the monntains for a n
few years, the Jan sens became convinced c
that" there was no danger, and grew y
more careless. They frequently were a
absent in the field all day,'leaving Peter : tl
and Greta alone in the house. But they b
took care never to let the night f all before
their return. b
The summer of 1850 was a hard one in t<
that desolate region for man and beast. !
Orops of all kinds, even mast, failed. | s<
As the fall passed and winter ap- ' ri
proached, the deer actually came near b
' * the cabin in midday, driven by hunger. J
* Bamors came from the far-off farms h
that the wolves, gaunt and hunger b
bitten, had attacked the cattle in the
barns. n
In early December, Jan was sent, to i ii
John Supplee, a farmer living about ten j ii
miles down the range. Supplee bad ' ft
fallen and broken his leg, and Jan, who |
had a good deal of medical skill, was |
the only person who coold bandage it ;
property. J
"You will come with me, Maria," he
said to his wife, "so that, in case I can- fV
not come back before night, yon can 11
bring the cart and ox home." ?
Maria kissed the children good-by. "I r*
will be back before sundown," she said. 7?
Too can have the supper ready, Greta, rj
and Peter may milk the cow." 11
. The children spent the day quietly at 6C
work in building a house for their hens. . j.
The sun was going down before they | e
thought it vl's noon. Peter ran to j W
milk the cow, and Greta put the bacon i ^
to fry; and the coin-cake in the covered | ^
skillet among the hot ashes. G
"Qaiet, quiet, good Spry 1" cried ! r
Peter,patting the white spot in her fore- C;
head. "Mother in coming, and I have ^
sot done my work." j>
fcipry stoou still. The milk was strain- d
ed and nut awav in the brown croclm i D
The cake was baked, and waited, smok- J H
ing by the fire, but mother had not! ?
come. * j
"What is that, Peter?" Greta grew j
white as she canght his arm. It was a A
rushing, roaring, hissing noise, which ?
filled the whole air; then followed by a ^
deafening, prolonged crash, like thun- : j
der. Then there was a silence. T
The sky was blue, the setting sun was ; V
warm. The birds were twittering their i 2
las! good-nights before the darkness fell. ! q
The two children stood trembling in the l
daprway. B
"It is an evil spirit," said Peter, i H
promptly; for the Jansens had brought ' E
all their native superstitions with them, j
"We have made him angry in some ! j
way. Come in aud shut the door." iS
The crash had brought more trouble ?
to the children than oould any angry ! j
spirit. It was a tornado which had j
crossel the mountain* five miles to the : e
south, tearing up gre*t oaks by the ; I
roots, heaping the ravines with rocks *
and fallen treas. It had crossed the < p
roa 1 on which their mother on the cart j
was slowly driving the ox. r

44 Who would kill mother? I'll go and j
find her. Cbme! Do something, ! ,

' giag at the latch with her shaking , i
fingers*
, "Do! What can anybody do when
the spirits are out ?"
He crouched on the floor and bid his j
eyes?tben started up. 441 know what :
I'll do. They are hungry. In Norway

this was (ho nay in whioh the angry
spirits that filled the mountains of Nor- ,
way were appeased; but sbe thonght ;
they bad left all those terrible creatures ;
behind them.
Peter took up the smoking meat, car- 1
ried it to the edge of the -woods, threw !
it down and ran back, hiB teeth chatter- I
ipg with terror.
41 Come away from the window 1" he
cried to Gretn* "It is death if you look
at them."
Ho threw himself flat on the bed.
Bui presently the little girl crept to '
the window. "Surely mother is ooming. h
And they cjan'fc see me, anyhow, through j
this chink," she thought.
Thrt moon had risen, and threw a snec- !'
tral light over the opsa space and the 1
dark woods beyond.
Little did the poor boy think that ]
while appeasing the anger of imaginary
spirits, he was whetting the appetites of 1
creatures far more formidable,
, 36 What were these black, shadowy j
shapes tearing at tbe meat ? The child's t

According to The Farmer'8 Friend, a
jr hen of any breed will yield only half as
k- j many eggs the second as the first year
it ( after she begins laying, and, therefore,
i "all fowls keotafterthev are two years
ig j old are kept at a loss."
Is j There is nothing better, probably
j nothing so good, for mixing with poultry
m | droppings, as road dust gathered in oeat

B. | dust as droppiDgs, and mix before using
s, j by pounding the mass together in a

ie ! A successful English practice is to
p. ! beep fowls in portable houses, which are

58 The Sparrow in America*

75 : Dr. Elliott Oones, the ornithologists
25 ; lifts up his voice in The American Nat
5C ! turalist against the sparrows. He speakgjj
I of them as a nuisance, as " pestilent
74 , famine-breeders," and as " the wretched
73 j interlopers whicU we have so thought67
j lessly introduced and played with, and
66 j cuddled, like a parcel of hysterical,
slate-pencil-eating school girls." The
03 doctor asserts that the sparrows in the
61 country already number *' countless

: creased to "millions of millions." He
! brings a formidable list of charges
jr- against the interlopers, and declares
; timt " prompt and stringent measures
jB should be taken as a matter of national
economy to check their increase." Dr.
rst i ^'oueH won^d not wage against the spar|
rows a war of extermination, but offers
i these suggestions for keeping down their
JBi j numbers: "I. Let the birds sbift for
themselves; turn them looso and put
ffi* 1 them on the same footing as other birds.
! That is, take down the boxes and
be 1 an tne special contrivances for ehelj
tering and petting tho birds; atop

i oare of themselves. II. Abolish the
| legal penalties for billing them. The
1 birds are now under the arm of the law,

' natural vicissitudes of bird-life. Let

for which the European sparrows would
he be an admirable substitute, answering

philosopher, Parisian viveur and a kinc
of Layard also, has assembled the re
suits of his researches for many yean
around the ruins of old Egypt. Mari
ette-Bey has divided his portion of thi
j exhibition into three yarts, illustrative

guardians object. They fancy ever
one who has a note book and penci
some agent of a prying publisher wh<
wishes to make copies of the pricelesi
antiquities, and they motion to him tc
"move on."
I The most remarkable series or worKi
presented to the public by Mariette-Be;
are tables representing the civilization
of Egypt forty centuries before thi
Christian era. Everything is herenavigation,
construction of ships, agri
culture, workers in ivory and marble
hunters, fishermen, and toilers at pyra

A Novel Fox-Trap.
i Tho cunning of the fox was used a
! an illurtration by writers long befori
I the Christian era, and since that event
I fal period Reynard has apparently los
; none of his sly characteristics. But ai
| event recently came to our reporter'
j knowledge which shows how one mem
j ber of the fox family, in spite of his pre
! verbial slyness, was made to becomc
i by an ingenious cantrivance, his ow;
j executioner. In West Fryeburg, Me.
lives a well-known farmer named T. J
j Haley, whose coops had been visite
j nightly by a hungry fox, and one ever
j ing the rascal killed eleven half-grow
j chickens, ten of which he ato or carrie
I off, leaving one dead on the ground nea
| the scene of slaughter. Mr. Haley wa
! considerably provoked, as would natui
| ally bo expected, and resolved to set
I novel trap for his foxship. So the nea
j day he drove two stakes into the proun
i a few rods from the coops, split ther
Impartially open, and placed a loaded gu
! in the crevices, carefully pointed towar
! the hole under the nearest coop wher
j the fox had crawled in to get hiB plur
der, In this hole he placed the dea
chicken, fastened by a cord to one en
I of a niece of wood arraneed to plav foi
' word and back, like a whiffle-tree, an
i to the other end of this stick he tied
| rope, connected with the trigger of Ih
I gun, held in position by the two stake;
j as previously mentioned. He took pain
! to sight the gun abont as high as a
i ordinary hat above the hole under th
! coop, also carefully adj listing the rop
| bo that nothing could discharge the gu
i unless the chicken in the hole was lai
1 hold of. The next morning, on visitin
1 the coop, there lay the misguided foj
i dead as a door nail, with his head in th
! hole, and the fatal chicken in his stiffei:
i ed paws. The plan worked to a charrc
! and makes, perhaps, the first ca90 o
| record where one of the wiliest of th
: animal kingdom was enticed into becorc
| ing the instrument of his own destruc

A TRAVELING APIARY. |
Two Bucm Containing SOO Hires of Bom
Moving Alone the Mlaalaalppl trom Now
1 Orleans to 8t. Paul.
Last May, Captain Perrine, of Louis1
iana, undertook to move a nnmber of J
' Swarms of bees np and dowb the Missis'
flippi river, taking advantage of the j
! blooming of fldWers at different points. (
Of the result the St. Louis Globe-Demo- e
' crat says; S
"Captain Perrine pnrohased two J
* barges of ordinary length and the little f
5 stern-wheel steamer James A. Fraser. E
' Whatever of failure has attended the *
' enterprise is due to the inferior speed of
) the boat and a series of exasperating j
" accidents to her machinery. The two
' barges were provided witn shelving, rind
' four hundred hives of bees were placed c
} upon eaoh. All varieties of honey- t
1 makers were introduced, as the enter- t
> prising captain desired to make his ex?
periment as broad and thorough as i
> possible. The hives were painted In 1
" contrasting colors, in order that the
5 little workers would return to the proper J
5 hive, the colors aiding each in distin- <
1 guishing his home by comparative loca- <
3 tion. <
5 " The intention was to start on April
" 1, but accidents made a delay until May 1
} 13 unavoidable. This was unfortunate, j
r as the bloom betfan to fade by thiB time.
" Many persons who took a keen interest j
in the venture were dubious as to its i
tmnnflca art/3 o/lrricia/3 onroinaf. if. ViTlf. flftn- I
s tain Perrine replied that he waa spend3
ing his own money, and on May 13 he J
3 steamed ont of the New Orleans harbor j
~f in the presence of a vast concourse of j
* people, and soon struck the willowed
5 levees. A run of a day and a night 1
? bronght him to a location in every way <
1 favorable. With a remembrance of the 1
croaking friends, who smiled at what j
they supposed to be his credulity and ;
3 prophesied that he was simply present- I
8 ing the country at large with eight hnn- j
0 dred hives of valuable bees, Captain j
Perrine ran np to a bank at a point
? oa?v?/\ t *yi ilrta aatifli r\4 VinlroKti
DUX1AO 1UXVJ DVUVU ui i ivaouuig j
" and released the busy buzzing inmates :
of the hives. Like boya released from I
the confinement of school, away they '
3 sped to the willows and sought the j
0 depths of the fragrant blossoms. J
Captain Perrine waited patiently and i
was rewarded. The little ones began to '
? come back, each with his sweet load, J
and by sundown the success of the experi- j
ment was assured. A very few of those j
3 released had wandered out into the
" world, while now and then a belated
loiterer arrived and entered his cell.
1 "Captain Perrine went to bed a happy 1
man that night, and dreamed of whole ]
? fleets of floating apiaries and great j
F mountains of honey, the beauty of which I
made his mouth water as he dreamed on.
Tho next day but added to the success *
of the preceding one. There was a 1
small loss in tho original number of the '
bees-eacu day, but it was more than <
made np by the recruits of vagrant bees, i
who had probably learned from the ;
visitors of their happy and comfortable .
position. This had been foreseen, and ,
sixty-five empty hives had been placed
upon the boat for that purpose.
7 " The Fraser slowly towed the colony
up the river, and all was going well, !
when, on an unlucky day, the shaft of 1
* the steamer broke, and the fleet was '
obliged to lay up at a point not particu
larly favorable for horiey-making until i
" messengers were sent to New Orleans <
with the broken maohinery. Three
j weeks were thus lost. The willow bloom {
j died away, and the bees began to suffer
and many of them (ied. When the (
' machinery was again in order, all haste '
g was made up the stream day and night
until the spring bloom was overtaken.
J Good country had just been reached, ;
? and the bees fairly at work, when the
3 'doctor,' a most "important feature of
1 a boat'H machinery, -was hopelessly
broken, and another wait of two weeks
" was enforced, pending the necessary ra
pairs. i
_ " The spring bloom had moved fur- i
1 ther north, and the boat was making
s such slow progress with the barges that
Captain Perrine, in view of the further
3 fact that he bad started a month later,
j j concluded to abandon the barges. The
_ | beehives were transferred to the boat
Q proper, and then, night and day, the
{ little steamer traveled up the river until
j the blossoms were again overtaken
8 Every few days the boat would stop, the
q hives be taken ashore and the bees re.
leased, and when the vicinity was exe
hausted the; would be reloaded and the
y run made for another garden spot.
_ "Even with this delaythe experiment
has proved a success. The bees are all
doing well, and are making the honey
with a facility gratifying to their owner.
The trip will be made through to St.
s Paul, and then the bees will bo taken
a South for the winter. Satisfied that he
has struck a successful solution of the
it problem of how to ensure the honey
a supply, Captain Perrine will complete
s his arrangements during the winter for
i- an apiary on a still larger scale, and will
i- leave New Orleans on April 1st, 1879,
>, with two thousand hives, towed by a
q boat of assured speed and po wer."

After concluding the examination of Colonel

176, John E. Leete, a writer on the staff of

iid he bad lived in New Orleans since 1870 and
ive a history of bis experience there as officeDlder

a; I had no more talk with Anderson."'
A telegram from Senator Kellogg was reiived,

Selecting Their Husbands.
A Turkish slave ship was captured the
ther day by an English vessel, and the
laves it contained, consisting of seventy
romen and ten men, were liberated.
Dhe men volunteered into the Egyptian
jrmy, but it was more difficult to dispose
?f the women. Under the treaty coniluded
between the British government
aid the Khedive the importation and ex>ortation
of slaves ore forbidden; but
he detention and sale of slaves in the
lountry are permitted for about six years
onger in Egypt, and eleven years in
ihe Soudan. Several officers accordingy
came to the Pasha of the district with
ififers to buy some of the female slaves,
3ut the Pasha declared he would not
jart with them unless they got married.
Be then announced that any soldi ar or
sivilian wishing to marry one of the
ilaves would have to pay six thalers for
ler dowry, but that the women would
so allowed to choose their husbands
rom among thoae who should present
;hemsolves for the purpose. A great
number of men, chiefly soldiers, assembled
on the day appointed for the selec
;ien. The women were so shytnat tney
" huddled together like a flock of sheep,1'
md could not be induced to move. At
ast one of them, taking courage, advanced
slowly to an Egyptian sergeant,
tvho was anything but young or hand?ome,
and put her hand on his shoulder
is a sign that he was the man she wished
;o marry. Her example was instantly
'ollowed by the other women, who rush3d
forward to choose their husbands aa
f they feared to be too late. It was now
;ho men's turn to say whether they acsepted
the selection. All were satisfied
jut five, and even the live women who
vere consequently obliged to choose
igain were ultimately provided with
msbauds.
Queer Place for a Worm.
Henry R. Funk of Allentown, has for
ionic- time been the victim of a disease
vhich ho believed to be consumption.
Jo wasted away uuder his besetting
ualady until there was hardly anything
eft on his bodily frame save the skin,
md ho had about made up Lis mind that
t ?vould be best for him to prepare for
he inevitable. He had for a considerate
time experieuced at intervals queer
lensations in his windpipe, as if there
pas some creeping thing in it, ana frelueutly
remarked these experiences to
lis family, but was as often talked out
>f it as being the natural results of his
lickness or mere imagination. On a re*
'onf. ilnv wIiiIa Kpfited in a rocker the sen
intion again presented itself. It felt
exactly, lie Hays, as if some reptile was
mdeavoring to crawl up and ont of his
rnchea, and boiug about the same time
aken with a never* o?ughing fit he, to
lis great surprise, as well as to the utter
i3tonishment of his family, expelled a
mrions worm abouttwo inches in length
md thick in its middle as a straw s:om.
t was of a whitish color, and so trans
mrent tutu ruo oiooa in its virus, una
ehicli it had absorbed from its victim,
iould be clearly discerned. The worm's
lead was sharp as a needle and its hindir
part flat and stumpy. It was renarkably
active aud worked its head
rith great energy. How it came to the
nan or in what manner it originated is a
hing altogether inexplicable,his dootor,
o whom the worm was given, and who
ias it preserved in alcohol, never having
leard of a like case' before. The man
ias since experienced a change for the
tetter, and feels so much improved that
le is inspired with confidence that he
rill soon again be a well man.?Reading

a artfully, and produce a cloudiness in the

may be entirely dispelled Dy that peerless

sheers, refreshes and invigorates the brain and

and exerts a powerfully invigorating in~?
fiuence as well Its cathortio action Is never
Irritating, violent or painful, but even, natural

promoter the Bitters is unrivalled; it mitigates
the infirmities of ago, relieves the ailments peculiar
to the gentler sex, arrests premature
