Habits of the Coon.

the female coon is social and domestic in her habits, the male is quite the reverse, says the New York Sun. He is surly and solitary, ranges entirely alone, and gives no care or attention to family matters. If two males meet in the woods or in the field they tight furiously, and not infrequently to the death. An old Jersey coon hunter tells how he once surprised two male coons fighting in a corn field. They were so frantically in earnest that they flew at each other even after the dogs had jumped upon them. In the spring and' summer the margins of brqoks and ponds, and the Boft mud in swamps and bays in every coon country, are always thickly indented with the graceful footprints of the coon, for in those months he spends his nights in catching frogs, fish, lizards, grubs and mussels, which are then his chief subsistence. Later on he ranges along the huckleberry and blackberry patches, and feasts on their fruit. With the con ing of the milk in the green corn comes the coon’s gala time, for he loves the tender, succulent grains, as the farmer knows to his sorrow, and great are the risks he will take to forage in the fields. It is not until the berries are gone and the corn has grown tough iu the ear that the coon begins to look about for his winter stores. These he lays by plentifully, from the beechnut, chestnut, and . acorn .crops, and cfn these crops depends the hunting of the coon when he is at his best. During the nutting season he is fat and solid and wide-awake, provided that nuts are plentiful. When the coon grows inordinately fat and large he lessens his chances of falling a victim to the hunter, for then he ventures but a short distance from,his hiding-place and gives the dog small opportunity for finding his tio.iL Even in the days when coon-hunting was a science it was rare that a coon weighing over twenty pounds was ever bagged, although they have been known to attain a we ght of forty -pounds. A coon at that weight, however, must have been simply a ball of fat, and but little would have been left of him but bones and gravy after cooking. If the nut crop i 3 a failure the coon goes to his winter quarters thin and iniserable, and poorly prepared for the long winter’s sleep and fast. It is in 'seasons of such straights that the coofi wanders forth* on every day of thaw, although the snow may be deep on the ground, in search of such fag ends of provender as may fall to his lot. At such times the unfortunate coon may be seen hovering, wan and haggard, on the edges of farms and door-yards, waiting for an opportunity to pick up scraps from the kitchen, poultry yard, or pig-stv. One peculiarity of the coon which, by the way, is the cleanest of animals, and, as has been seen, eats only the most wholesome of food, and one which does not seem to have attracted the attention of the book naturalists, is that he never touches food until he has quaffed at some spring or brook, even if he is compe led to go far to find one. Old coon-hunters say that the coon dips every mouthful of his food in water before eating it; but, like all hunters, old coon-hunters say many things it would bother them like smoke to prove.

A Picker-Up of Foreign Coin.

A quiet, sedate voung woman who wearß glasses, always carries a couple of books, and looks as if she were an admirer of browning, is one of the queer characters who hauunt the uptown hotels. She is a shrewd young Jewess, in spite of her Bostonian apEearanee, and makes a good living by uying the foreign coin which is picked up at the hotels from travelers who exchange glitter.ng foreign gold for the cart-wheel American dollars. The hotels get the coin at a discount, she buys it at a slight advance and disposes of it in Wall street. Her friends say there isn’t a coin struck but she can tell at a glance. She picks up valuable pieces once in a while that gp to numismatists at a handsome premium.— New York Times.

Conflicting Testimony.

“What I want to know is, who struck .the .first blow?” said an Anst n justice to Jim Webster, who was the principal witness in an assault and battery case. “Uncle Ike, dah, he hit de fust lick,” replied Jim. “Are you positive that Uncle Ike struck the first blow?” “Ob course I is. Didn’t I see him reach out and hit de fust lick, but how many licks he hit before dat fust one, or how many licks de udder niggah hit him fust am more den I’se willin’ to swar ter.” —Texas Siftings. . A writer on engineering assertsthat maximum efficiency of machinery, in which journal friction is the main source of waste of work and energy, is best secured by giving the journals such di imeter thas„they will neither twist nor spring under their loads; also such length that the load may be carried principally on the lower portion of the bearing, and of such form that the brass shall not bind or grasp the journal, or in any way subject the journal to serious lateral pressure. The “Barebone’s Parliament” is a name given to the body called under Cromwell’s direetion, and which, after a short sitting, resigned its power to its head, bestowing upon him the title .of “Lord Protector of the Commonwealth. ” This Parliament won its name from the fact that a Londou currier named Barebone was a prominent member of it. The Cape of Good Hope was so named by King John 11. of Portugal, after it had been doubled by Diaz for the prospect of a sea route to India, which it opened ten years later, or in" 1498. Da Gama realized the hopeful augury of the name by reaching India by this route. What is called the Lombard League was formed in 1167, and secured by the peace of Constance in 1183 the independence of the few Italian cities.' The republics of Venice, Genoa, Pisa, etc., dated from this period. That high-flown dude who goes on a lark with his “birdie,* and scatters the eagles, will never feather his neat.

Healthy Underclothing.

... In the choice of woolen underclothing Parkes says: The touch is a great guide. There should be smoothness and great softness of texture; to the eye the texture should be dose, the hairs standing out from the surface of equal length, not long and straggling. The hoavier the substance is, in a given bulk, tjie better. In the case of blankets, the softness, thickness, and closeness of the pile, the closeness of the texture and the weight of blankets are the best guides. The non-conduct-ing power of woolen fabrics lessens under continual washing; the soft fibers shrink, become harder and less absorbent. In washing woolen articles they should never be rubbed or wrung. They should be immersed iu hot soap suds, moved about and then plunged into cold water; when the soap is entirely removed they should be hung up to dry without wringing. Night dresses made of cotton aro preferable. In summer, a thinner material may be chosen; for winter use the so culled “cotton-flannel” is the most comfortable. The night dress should be long, loosely fitting and button easily about the neck. Those people who are habituated to sleeping with the arms uncovered ought in cold weather be secured against chills by, thick under flannel. All undergarments ought to be changed at night, and the undervest for night wear should be as warm as that during the day. The one removed on rising should be carefully aired with the bed clothing; during the night tlie other should hang over a chair near the window. To dress and to undress in an intensely cold room is a hardship which should, if possible, be escaped. Wood-stoves, so rapidly heated, are better for chambers than those in which coal* is burned; light kindlings soon warm them sufficiently, and the temperature quickly falls after the sleeper has enjoyed liis sponge bath and is comfortably ensconced in bed.— Boston Herald.

"Englyshe Undefylde."

To Webster’s dictionaries more than to any or all other causes this nation owes its purity and unity of language, and yet in the spoiling of such words as "theater,” “center,” “meter,” etc., a few publishers of the present day retain the old fogy IS' orman French re, which “came in with the conqueroure.” If this is right, why not go back to the good old well of “Englyshe undefylde” of Chaucer ? Take his prologue to the,Canterbury tales, lines 181, 182: ‘‘This is to seyn, a monk out of his cloystre But thilk text liild he not worth an oy’stre.” Lines 300, 301: “But al though ho were a i>hiiosofre Yet had he butlltuigold in eofre.” We find also, propre, lettre, ordre, tendre, slendre (slender),suilre, slaughtre, membre, and many more such. - The Norman French itself being but corrupt Latin, we find the Latin pater, noster, vester, enter, and the like, changed to patre, nostre, vestre, entre, etc. beati,” etc., which in Norman French would be “Tre, quatre,” etc. But it is needless to multiply examples of this kind. The question is simply this: having changed the spelling of chambre,- cidre, ordre, gendre, etc., to chamber, cider, order and gender, is it not advisable to change the remaining dozen or so from metre, saltpetre, theatre, centre, etc., to meter, saltpeter, theater, center, etc. ? If not, why not ? And if ever, why not now? —Ex hange. In a paper on steam boilers, read befofe the Hcotch Institution of Engineers, the writer makes the statement that all qualities of iron get hard and brittle after the boilers have been at work more than a dozen years, more especially where exposed to the action of the fire; and that in the furnaces even Lowmoor iron becomes as brittle as common iron in that time, so that great care has to be taken in making repairs to prevent the plates from cracking. For this reason sixteen to seventeen years is long enough for a boiler to be in use at a pressure of forty to forty-five pounds, and if used longer the pressure ought to be lowered. Mention is made ia this connection of two boilers which had been in use some nineteen years, and on being taken in hand for repairs were found to be so brittle that the rivet heads on the outside flew off when the inside heads were struck, showing that the rivets had deteriorated as much as the plates. —4ry — : rrr ■ ■ ■■ « An electric low-water alarm, says an exchange, based upon a very simple principle, has been recently described before the American Institute. The apparatus consists of two gauge-cocks, a water gauge, a mercurial thermometer, two Leclanche cells and an electric bell. Two wires are inserted in the thermometer tube, and are connected with the battery and the bell. As the water in the boiler gradually lessens, steam; comes down through the upper; arm and gauge glass, and when a certain level is reached it enters also through the lower arm. Being hotter than the water, the increased temperature of the steam expands the mercury in the tube, and closes the circuit. The bell then, continues to ring until sufficient feed-water has been supplied; the feed-water being cooler, the mercury contracts, the circuit is broken, and the al arm ceases. Throw a bean into a street crowd and you strike talent; but you : can’t scoop genius with an extra size drag net.

“I Feel So Well.”

“I want to thank you for telling me of Dr. Pierce’s u Favorite Prescription,’ ” writes a lady to her friend. “For a long time I-was unfit to attend to tho work of my household. I kept about, but I felt thoroughly miserable. I had terrible headaches, and bearing-down sensations across mi?, and was quite weak and discouraged. I sent and got some of the medicine after receiving your letter, and it has cured me. I hardly know myself. ' I feel so welL” . .

Twelve Clergymen in a Fix.

i Twelve Baptist, clergymen who were attending-a convention at St. Louis, j Mo., went down to-a secluded spot on : the river bank in “the afternoon for the purpose of taking a swim. This score of brethren removed their clothing and placed it upon the railroad track close at hand, because the grass was wet. They then entered the water and enjoyed themselves. Presently an express train came round the curve at the ! rate of forty miles an hour, and before any of the swimmers could reach dry land all of those undershirts and socks and things were fluttering from the cowcatcher and speeding onward toward Kansas. It was painful to the brethren - exceedingly painful, because ad the clothing that could bo found, after a careful search, was a sun umbrella, one coat, and a pair of eyeglasses. And they do say when those twelve marched home by the refulgent light of the moon the situation was —well, embarrassing. —Baptist lic(ordt r.

The Stomach Distills Acids.

Those, if existent in a natural quantity, and unvitiated by bile, play their part in the functions of digestion and assimilation. But the artificial acid resulting from the inability of the stomach to convert food received by it into sustenance, is the producer of flatulence and heartburn, which are the most harassing symptoms of dyspepsia. The best carminative is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Far more effective is it than carbonate of soda, magnesia or other alkaline salts. These invariably weaken the stomach without producing permanent benefit. No man or woman chronically Uyspetic, and consequently nervous, can bo in possession of the full measure of vigor allowed by nature. Therefore, Invigorate and regulate the system, and by so doing protect it from malaria, rheumatism, and other serious maladies. Auctioneers have a nod way of receiving bids. The members Of the Illinois Legislature were recently presented with complimentary boxes of “Brown’s Bronchial Troches” by Messrs, _Joiin 1 Brown A Sons, the proprietors of that popular remedy for coughs and throat troubles.

A Good Time to Subscribe.

Papers publishing several continued stories cannot give subscribers the beginning of all the novels published in their pages, but the reader is obliged to wait till those already begun have run Out before receiving the full benefit of his subscription. We for this reason would advise those contemplating subscribing for a story paper to take the. Chicago Ledger, commencing with the issue of April 13, as on that date two serials will begin, viz.: “A Hidden Clew” and “Love and 'War.” The former of these is a tale of adventure and the detection of the great Missouri Pacific express robbery of 1886, and is a thrilling and plotful story; while the latter deals with events on the Arkansas border at the outbreak of the war. Both are strong, well written, and intensely interesting, and cannot fail to hold the attention of readers to the end. A singlo sample copy of the number ~containing the opening chapters of these great stories will be mailed free to every one sending name and address to the Ledger, 271 Franklin street, Chicago, before April 20. The Ledger is only $1.50 per year. - '
