TRICK SHOOTING. The Way Some of tho Stage Feati Are Accomplished. When champion rifle fhot firee bliud folded at a wedding ring or u penny hold between his wife' thumb ami tinker r seated buck to her shoot.-, by mean of a mirror, at an apple upon lur heml or ou n , fork held ja her teeth, tho dhngor of using n bnllet is obvious. None, i of courec, i needed. The explosion is enough. Tho apple is al1 ready prepared, having beon cut I into pieces and stuek together with j an adhesive substance, and a thread with a knot at tho end, pulled through it from the "wings," so that it flies to bits when tho gun is fired, is "how it i done." Generally tho moro dangorous a fent appears the more carefully is all da tiger guarded against. In tho "William Tell" act the thread is often tied to the assistant's foot. When, again, the ash is shot off it cigar which the assistant is smoking n piece of wire is pushed by his tongue through a hollow passage in the cigar, thus thrusting oil tho ash at tho moment of firing. A favorite but simple trick is the shooting from some distance at an orauce held in n ladv's hand. Great f applause is invariably forthcoming when the bullet drops out on her ' cutting open the fruit. It is insert ed by hand earlier in the evening. Another popular tri k is that of snuffing out lighted candle. Half a down are placed in front of a screen, in which a many smaU holes are bored, one . against each candle wick. At the moment of firing a confederate behind the ! screen sharply blows out each canJ die with a pair of bellows. ! In most instances where a ball or other object has to be broken on a living person's he:ul blank cartridge h used and the effect produced by other means. A special wig with a spring concealed in it worked by n wire under the clothes is generally used, the confederate manipulating the spring simultaneously with the firing of the rifle. As the ball is of extremely thin glass, a mere touch suffices to shatter it. In these exhibitions some of the rifle "experts" invite gentlemen from the audience to testify that tho iveapon is indeed loaded. The cartridge shown looks very well, but it is a shell of thin wax blackened to resemble a leaden bullet. It would not hurt a fit. London TitBits. Didn't Suit Washington. I'ntil the early part of the last century Milford, Conn., had a house in which Washington was said to have spent a night. It was in 17S9, when Washington made a tour of New England. Tradition says that there were certain things about his stay at the Milford tavern which he did not enjoy. The supper "set bofore him consisted of boiled meat and potatoes. He was not pleased with the meal and asked for a bowl of bread and milk. The landlord brought the new order and a broken pewter spoon with which to eat it. "Have you no better spoons than this?" asked General Washington. "It'3 tho best I have in the house, sir," replied tho host. "Send mo tho servant," said his excellency. "Here's 3 shillings. Go to the minister's and borrow a silver spoon." Tradition does not add whether he got the spoon or not. Exchange. Caught. In Philadelphia they tell a story of a man whoso wife had arranged an "authors' evening" and persuaded her reluctant husband to remain at home and help her receive tho fifty guests who were askod to participate in this intellectual feast. The first author was dull enough, but the second was worse. Moreover, the rooms were intolerably warm. So, on pretense of letting in some cool air, the unfortunate host escaped to the hall, where ho found a servant comfortably asleep on the settee. "Wake up!" sternly commanded the Philadelphian in the man's ear. "Wiko up, I say! You must have been listening at the keyh'de!" Harper's Magazine. How Seminoles Bury Their Dend. Seminoles bury their dead on top of tho ground after wrapping them in blankets, but always leave the top of tho head exposed. They build a jcn over tho body and usually chink it with earth. When his squaw dies tho husband wears his shirt until it rots off, which is not strikingly distinctive. When tho husband dies J the squaw doesn't comb her hair for three months. Little reverence is shown for the dead. When Tom Tiger's grave was robbed and his bones taken for exhibition tho outcry over the desecration was almost wholly a newspaper affair. Tho ! nearest sottlers were unalarmed and :thr Indians indifferent. - Collier's, .Weekly.

HUNTING THE SEAL The Dog Hod of the Atlantic Is a Oetptrato Fighter. Tile feal hunter lae ' ten ui'l ed lieroe, but they have earned the title in doing just what their fa thers und forefathers have done f"i 200 years catching eab- to make u living. Whtv. we think f -o i - vw bring to mind the animals for whose rich coat of fur milady is willing to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars the fur eal, which inhibits the north P;uitu ocean. IUit in the waters of the Atlantic lives another specie, which is alo sought for its coat or hide, which goo into many thousands of pockethooks, sat he!s, gloves and other articles, for which it is especially valuable. So evenyear hardy Newfoundlanders tak. "their lives in their hands in the seal hunt, for not only is its eont valuable, but the blubber of the young yields an oil much prized for different purposes. There are four species of seals in the waters around Newfoundland and Labrador the bay seal, the harp, the hood and the square flipper. The harp seal the seal of commerce is so called from having a broad, curved lino of dark connected spots extending along each shoulder and meeting on; the back above the tail, forming a figure something like an ancient harp. As the hoods are often with tfie harp.,tl:ev are also taken for their skiiH. The male, called the "d'ii: hood," is di -lingui-hed from tho female by a curious psn-k or bui f flesh on his n so. When attack d or enraged he inflates this hood with air so as to cover the face and eye, and it is strong enough to resist -eul sht. When thus protected he cn be k !led only i'V thooting him in tiio neck and the base of the sk-ill. L'nlike the cowardly harp seal, the dog hood tights desperately in defence of his mate and young ones, and if thev are killed he becomes furious, inflates his hood, while his nostrils dilate into two huge bladders. As he rushes at his enemy with floundering leaps, it is as well to keep a Kafe distance if the hunter U alone, for instances have occurred where a fight between an old dog hood and five or six men has lasted for an hour, and more than once a man has betli crunched to death by tho powerful jaws. The seal is a great traveler, but depends on the rivers of the ocean to take him where he wants to go. Like a good many other tourists, he spends his summer in the north, leaving the southern waters in May and spending about three months in the seas about Greenland. With the beginning of the arctic winter the seal horse starts on its long southern vovage. Day Allen Willev in Van Xorden's.

Sound Philosophy. Of all methods of making another person angry and disagreeable the worst is to tell him that ho will "have to" do something. How often do we hear, "You will have to go to the other window," "You will have to go into the other car," "You will have to wait an hour' "You will have to writo the general passenger agent or superintendent," and the like! Primarily we are all free agents and don't "have to" do a darned thing. We may find it expedient or necessary to a certain end, hut we don't oven "have to" eat if we don't want to. How easy to put the direction in another manner, such as, "The other window, please," or "Will you kindly take the car ahead ?" or "The rules require." A short,-very short, explanation of why a certain thing is necessary will always work wonders in avoiding trouble. Itailroad Employee. He Knew It Was Found. A clergyman while going to church one Sunday morning lost a pocketbook containing valuable paper. After the service he made known his loss and said that whoever found the pocketbook and restored it to him would be well rewarded. An old man immediately rose up at the back of the church and cried out: "It's found, sir!" "Oh, thank you, thank you, my man!" said the clergyman. "Have you got it with you?" "No, bir," answeped tho man, "but I corned that way myself after you did, and it wasn't there then." London Answer. Impatient. "Well, if that ain't the limit!" mused the postman as he came down the stops of a private residence. "What's tho trouble?" queried the passing citizen, who had overheard' tho postman's noisy thought. ."Why" explained the man in gray, "the woman in that house says if I don't come along earlier she'll get her letters from some other carrier."
