WEDNESDAY, MARCH IO, 1887. COACHING. The ^musical tram pet's blast* The sound cf laughter gay, Then word to start is passed, - And the tallyho rolls away, * Ont of the city's street. Far from tho noisy Throng, Lito the country sweet It rumbles gayly along Over the cool green hills r And down through the wooded dales, Fragrant with daffodils And vocal with calling quails. Happy each youthful face, Merry the mirthful wits, s And, lo, in the footman's place . Trumpeter Cupid sits! -Arthur Grissom in New York Tribune. A FIGHT WITH A LYNX. ?Jim Berry Had a Desperate Struggle With a Savage Bobcat. The ugliest appearing animal that ever walked a log, killed a rabbit or fought a trap is the lynx, which is just as ugly as it looks ten months in the/ .fear and somewhat uglier during the other twa Not only will the lynx fight I anything that walks the woods, but it will also tackle a visitor from the clear? ings, be he man Or dog or half grown calf, if the occasion offers. Sim Berry was hunting up in Maine, about 40 miles north of Greenville, when he and bis friend suddenly came upon the carcass of a caribou which a bear was* eating. The bear made itself scarce, much to Jim's regret, as he wanted to kill the bear. Without say? ing anything to his friend he left camp the next day and started for the carcass, iate?ding to watch it, in the hope that the hear would return. He waited and watched until about 'S o'clock in the afternoon, when he began to think of ; returning to camp. A soft footfall back ia the woods-the, crafty step of some wild animal-just then sounded in his ? ears. Pretty soon the bear was chewing the caribou meat, and Jim could see it plainly. He leveled his buckshot gun ? and pulled the trigger, when the wab? bling muzzle was pointed in what he ^thought was the right direction. The beast went down, and Jim started for it. . Then he stopped, with his mouth open. The beast had leaped to his( feet *and jumped sideways, with its back up. Jim knew the yell, and he also recog? nized the humped back. 1^ was a wound? ed lynx spoiling for a fight Not having time to level his gun to sh^pot, the man clubbed it, and the blow stunned the . i cat a little, but the beast got in a rake on the man's leg and tore his trousers ?and bide too. Another frantic sweep of the ?uu barrel laid the beast flat, and then a revolver bullet killed the animal. The buckshot had torn the top of the lynx's head-enough to make it angry. -Shooting and Fishing. Proved His Love. They were two working girls, and they happened to meet the other day at Hie restaurant where they eat luncheon. The brunette ordered baked beans and lemonade, and the blond selected fruit cake and coffee. ''Tomorrow is pay day, you know," she said in reply io the inquiring look of the other. "Oh! Well, have yon heard the news about Mary? She's resigned. " "I know," said the blond. "? was in hopes I'd be the first to tell you. She's going to bo married. " "Yes; in a lovely blue silk. I forget the nama cf the man she's geing to marry. He isn't very good looking, they ' say, bus Mary says Le's intellectual. She says*'-. "Oh; pshaw! You can't tell from Mary." "No; but Sadie's seen his photo? graph, and she says he wears glasses." "Does her Well, Mary's lucky, if she is redheaded. Why, he would just do anything in the world for that girl. " "Humph!" said the brunette. "That's the way she talks now, but you can't tell a thing about it until after they're married." "You can tell it easy enough in this case, He's proved it already, " said the blond warmly. "Said he'd die fer her, I suppose," returned the brunette scornfully. "Lots of 'em talk that way before they have to pay the butcher. " "This^isn't talk anyhow. He's proved his love, I tell you. " "How? Did he save her life, or tell her that ber hair is golden?" "Neither. He sold his bicycle to buy her an engagement ring."-Chicago ! Tribune. A Strange Nursery. On the slopes of the Himalayas the i native women have a most curious plan of disposing of their babies and keeping them quiet while they are engaged at work in the fields during the greater part of the day. Before the mothers set out to work in the morning they wrap their babies in swaddling bands, leav? ing nothing but their little faces ex? posed. Then the babies are taken and laid under a ledge of reek fr?m which water is falling, and by means of a bamboo the water is made to drip gen? tly on each baby's forehead. The effect of the dripping water is most soothing, and soon the little ones are ali asleep and remain motionless till taken up by I their mothers cu their return from their | work, when they are carried off to be ! unwrapped, dried and fed. Toiled. Senator Wilson of Washington and j his brother, Karry Wilson, look very j much alike. One day in Spokane, where ? the two brothers live, Senator Wilson, who had just returned from his legisla? tive duties, was stopped on the street by a man who had known him for years. "Harry." said the man, "when will your brother John be here?" "In a day or two," said John with? out a smile. "Tell him I want to see him on an important matter." "Certainly," said John. "And you will not forget it?" "I'll try not," promised John, and thus another office seeker was foiled. Washington Post orn is a vigorous feeder and re? sponds well to liberal fertiliza? tion. On corn lands the yield increases and the soil improves if properly treated with fer tilizers containing not undei 1% actual A trial of this plan costs but little and is sure to lead tc profitable culture.
