It begins to look as if Huron, South Dakota, Mould be the permanent capital of that new state. Pierre is its present or temporary capital. Mad dogs are creating, great excitement in Wabash comity. At Roann, that county, one girl was fatally bitten, and several others were bitten who may and probably wili die. Dogs should be muzzled this time of year. There is great danger. The government census just taken settles Chicago’s population at 1,101,263. This is but 400,000 less than the population of New York City, and is 61,263 more than the population of Philadelphia, thus showing Chicago to be the second city in the United States in point of population. Walkerton people can now congratulate themselves upon the fact that they live but sixty miles , or but a few minutes more than one , hour's ride from the next to the greatest , and largest city in the United States, , and destined ere long to be the greatest । and largest. —■■KIIH-Tl— ■■■[■l I!■ I| All the 01*1 Testament Written i on a Single Sheet. Up in a book dealer's place in Broad- I way, not far irom Eighth street, curiosi-

ty seekers and men who can afford to indulge their love for old manuscripts, can find perhaps the strangest bit of writing known. On a piece of paroh-ment-like paper, five feet wide and six feet five inches high, are written all the books of the Old Testament, forming the design of a window in King Solomen’s temple. No lines are used. Written words form the whole design. The writing is very minute, but legible to the naked eyo. Ink of three colors was used, but principally black ink. It is a very intricate piece of work, marvellous in its way, and must have taken considerable time and patience. The work was executed by one David Davidson, apparently in a mood of religious fervor. He was blind in one eye, and his manner of writing was to lie at full length upon the floor, on his stomach, with his one eyo (he was near sighted) very close to the paper. He died some twenty years ago. Each chapter and verse is numbered. The writing is not running script, but each letter is seperate; nor are the letters much, if any, larger than a thirty-sec-ond of an inch high. The work is for sale, but a high poice is set upon it. — New York Press. I3ts Pants Siad Holes. “Man born of woman is of but few days and full of trouble!” Such is doubtless the solemn conviction of one Samuel E. Williams who is boarding out a fine of five dollars and costs at the county jail. Williams as he fluently and emphatically calls himself, struck the town Thursday wearing a suggestive chin whisker, Seymore coat, and high water pants, decolette seated. In other words Samuel was promenading our most fashionable thoroughfare with a lack of the regulation “bosom” in his trousers, contrary to the dignity of our city and the statute of Indiana, in such cases made and provided. Or in the language of the Immortal “J. N.,” the veil was lifted and the whole world looked thereon with con-steru-ation, amazement, mortification and general disapprobation. The modest reader will readily infer that Samuel couldn’t strike a match on the seat of his pants because they were not built that way, and so far ignored his lack of proper backing as to neglect to walk backward and thus keep his exposure behind him, thereby bringing upon himself the legal calamity, to-wit: Samuel E. Williams is arrested on a warrant sworn out in Justice Shryock’s court charged with indecent exposure. Three reputable citizens are sworn and testify to the truthfulness to the affidavit. Williams denies the charge, and offers his general “make-up” as evidence, by requesting the court to inspect the locus in quo. The evidence was overwhelming against the defendant and he was fined $5.00 and costs and ordered to jail to lay it out, with instructions from the court to have his pants reset with diamonds ad interim. A spectator to the proceeding pertinently remarked that if these Harrison times continue much longer half the ( county will be sent to jail for the same ; offense.—Rochester Sentinel. <

THE HABITS OF “808 WHITE.” I A Spoi t man Writ ph A bout Uh Experience with the Quail. In studying the quail, says a writer in Hunting and Fishing, ono cannot i fail to notice tho almost complete change of habits in this bird which attends the transition from one. season of 1 the year to anot her. In the spring anti summer the once shy and bevy keeping , Bob White becomes individualized and tame —we say individualized because, 1 although mated, man and wife are al- . wavs one flesh just as truly among i birds as among human beings. No longer in Hoeks, Bob White turns up everywhere under your feet in the ' fields, especially if you haunt the vicinity of his nest and brooding mate. ’ You will frequently see him running ’ along by the fence, or even venturing , out into the road, while his nheery. sweet song—for it is a song, albeit of but. two notes —rings out again and ’ again on the sunny air. . So tame and regardless of her own safety does the female grow in the nesting season that not infrequently she will allow herself to be almost trodden । upon before leaving the nest, and 1 have known late-brooding birds in grass meadows to sit fearlessly upon ! their nest until cut to pieces by the re- ■ lentless knives of the mowing-machine. Young quail are perfect little necromancers. Almost as soon as they arc out of the shell they seem to have the power of making then, ch is invisible at the wave of a wand. Wherevi. they go nobody can tell. The ground may be as bare as a floor, but somehow they manage to \ anish utterly from the eye. Am! lids is n trick w hich they do not entirely forget as they grow older. It takes a sharp-eyed sprotsman to seo a bevy of quail before they rise, even if tho dog is pointing right at them and the grass is as short as it is on a lawn. By August Bob White begins to take on a different character altogether from that he has displayed during the spring and summer months. He censes to perch himself in conspicuous pine - and sing for the delight of hi is if and his friends. Loth feathered and unfe ithered. He no longer makes fwur'icu into expos- d ami dangerous bumlitie-. nor lines he trust to the friend lines- u s every human being who conns |.L way. Gradually hebegi -to a« •■mbli his family and nran -t relatives into a little community conducted on tie simplest cemtnuoistic principles, and animated by ohe all-pcrvadiug desire to get through the terrible open season without being brought to griddle. That Bob White has di'Vehqad remarkable powers for realizing this <b»sire every sportsman will readily acknowledge- No bin! can place so many yards Imtween itself and the gun iu two or three seconds is the lively little quail. It takes a remark able quick shot to get in both barrels vlleelivelv at a bevy of quail, even when tiebirds rise in the open and the sp ri — man has an unobstructed view. The almost irresistible tendency is to “tire at the thick of ’em.” but. In-side- being urnqxmsumnlike. this method is generally ineffective also; for. while it may now and then cripple a bird, it oftem r lets the whole bevy get away suscathed, or else semis two or three slightly wounded birds into the cover to die a erm I and lingering death. Tim philosophy of this result is easy enough to exhim, for. thickly as a covey of quail may seem to the excited sportsman to lly together when they are tin Ind. a calm observation will show that the intervals between the several birds aie almost nearly as great as the spread of a charge of shot at thirty yards. Thus it will be seen that if the center el the charge falls in one of the intervals or >paees, as it is just so much mme likely to do as the space is larger than a quail's body, the only possible chance is that a bird may be crippl • 1 by the outer pellets, and even this chance is small compared with the alternative, which has been previously stated. Tiierefore. my advise to the true sportsman in quail-shooting is to shoot one bird for each barrel; make a clean kill or none at all. And if you are not skillful and quick enough at first to •elect a bird for each barrel make sure of your first shot only, for a time, until you get so that you can drop your bird quickly and neatly; then begin to attempt your double on the principal which has been laid down. I made a practice of concentrating my attention every time on what I vail the"‘•laggard" —that is, the bird nearest to me when the gun is raised, or if the bevy crosses me instead of going straight away it is the last bird in the line that I tire at. This rule applies to the use of both barrels. Select the laggard each time. South African Boers. A certain Mr. F., wishing to purchase a farm, the Boer proprietor doggedly refused to accept bills, checks, or notes, says a writer in Blackwood's Magazine. He would have his price, £25,000, in sovereigns, or he would not sell. So the golden bullion was with much trouble brought to the house. “U ill you not stop to dinner.?” asked the farmer, and at its conclusion Mr. F.,when bidding adieu, observed: ‘‘Well, I suppose we may at last consider our transactions quite complete.” “Not quite,” said the Boer; “you still owe me 3s 6d for the dinner.” The next episode was that the farmer, worried with the custody of so much coin in his house, resolves with many misgivings to pay the purchase money into the Standard bank, but the following week he demands to withdraw his deposit, and the hard cash is again produced. He counts it over carefully, and, once more reassured, shoves it back into the cashier’s hands. The Boers do not, in fact, seem to have the slightest comprehension of the first principles of finance. Another of this class asked a bank what would be the terms for his proposed deposit of £25,000. “We will give you 6 per cent.” replied the clerk, not understanding the drift of the question. “You pay me for taking care of my property?” said the Boer. “No, no, lam not such a fool as to believe that. You are up to some tfick?” Ami he instantly broke off the negotiation.

EPOCH. The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the individual.
