A little more than a week ago a negro by the name of Charlie Stark appeared at the home of a gentleman In the Sharon neighborhood, and seeing the house In darkness, proceeded to a window of the room In which his daughter slept and at once proceeded to raise the sash which awakened the young lady, who seeing him at the window gave the alarm, but by the time the household were up the negro had disappeared. On last Saturday night he again made his appearance and as the window was fastened down be did not succeed In raising the sash, so went to one of the doors when the young lady heard the noise, and again called her fitthor hut ht*l(?ru kia non Id nnt llto nni/m had left under cover of the darkness, hut tbls vinlt was JuRt after a rain and hiR tracks were plalhly to be Been, ho in the morning (Sunday) a party set out to track him rip and were soon up with hlrn. Finding where he had stopped at a negro's house andchan.ed bis shoes for a larger number, they followed and came up with him ai Turkey Hill about three or four miles distant. The news of tils capture soon spread tar and near and In a short time more than fifty well armed and determined men were gathered around the prisoner, when cails "lynch him," were heard from many throats; others wanted to burn him, and a fire was soon kindled, while Home of the crowd wanted him drowned lu the river. A jury was empanelled to dispose of his case, and after tlie wise counsels of older heads being given under mature deliberation the jury stood three In favor of lynching him and seven not to take tils life, so he was tuken out Into the public road and given a severe whipping, and turned loose with Instructions never to be seen in that section again.

Sometimes I think not. I thought yesterday when my own baby slipped :o my study and "scrubbed" the carpet d his best white dress with my bottle ink. He was playing in the coal hod 1 minutes after a clean dress was put . him, and later in the day ho pasted 50 its' worth of postage stamps on the rlor wall and poured a dollar's worth the choicest white rose perfumery out the window "to see it wain."

[f you consult the usually accepted auoritiea oil the speed of birds in their fht, you are likely to be misled by an aggeration of from 100 to 300 per cent, us is because figures have been given hearsay, appearance and very superfltl observation. But recently American, lglish and French observers have been mparing notes and are practically reed, after most careful calculation, the speed of the best known birds. They started with the carrier pigeon d have made him a base of comparin. He' has heretofore been credited th 110 miles an hour, but it is now reed that be is entitled to 50. A quite cent long distance, carefully conducted st of 592 miles, from the Shetland isids to London, showed that the moBt pid pigeons made 37 miles an hour. i shorter distances none made more an 50 miles. Because frigate birds have been seen r from land and have been supposed t to fly by night or to rest on the water ey have been credited with a speed of jm 150 to 200 miles an hour. If they I fly at that speed, they would have to ercorae an atmospheric pressure of >m 112 to 130 pounds to the square at of flying surface. There is no cerinty that they fly more rapidly than a ssenger pigeon or that they do not fly night or do not sleep on the water. The swallow, that is indeed a rapid ?r, has been credited with 180 miles hour, but he must be cut down to 65 les, and the marten is five miles behind 11, though authorities have placed him a. miles ahead. rhe teal duck is brought down from 0 to 50 miles an hour. The mallard is e miles slower and flies the same as the nvasback, while both of these are five Jes on hour ahead of the wild goose and ler duck. rhe pheasant makes 38 miles an hour, lich is three miles ahead of the prairie i?ken and quail, though the latter ap* drs to fly much faster on account of 3 temporary buret of speed that seldom ceeds 200 feet.

The elephants heard that they, were coming and they made all haste to get out of the way. But there was one big fellow who thought that he could deceive the man and decided to try a daring plan. Taking a seat on a large stone at the side of the road, , he filled a pipe with tobacco, and was pufhng away contentedly when the men came along. "Isn't that a funny elephant?" said one. "It certainly is," replied another. V&ll "Just see him sitting there smoking his pipe and paying no attention to us at SITTIXa THEEE SMOKING HIS PIEE. all. I should think that he would be afraid that we would carry him off to the circus." "It Is really strange," another one added.
