CANINE SENTINELS.
How a Noted Moonshiner Evaded
the Revenue Officers.
By the Aid of Hli Faithful Hog Th. Illicit
lllstlller Was Knable-d for a Lonr
Tluie to Carry on llta S
fartous HusIdns.
The most noted mountaineer in West
Virginia, ami perhaps in Kentucky
ami North Carolina Jim Iuy has at
last leen captured. The government
officers have been trying to arrest Day
for over fifteen years. lnt failed on
every occasion. Day, who is a tall,
inuseular. shrewd looking fellow, has
leen running illicit stills for over fif
teen years. During this time ho hail
sometimes as many as a dozen stills
running at one time. The stills were
located in the depths of the primitive
forests or in caves in the mountain
sides, a long distance from roadways
and trails. The stills were always
located near some prominent height or
at a point from which a guaril or spy
constantly on the alert could overlook
all approaches and advise his compan
ions of the vicinity of suspicious look
ing strangers. In fifteen years only two
of Day's stills have been captured and
destroyed. On each of these occasions
Day and his men all made their es
cape. Time and again revenue officers
have attempted to waylay and ambush
Day. They found roads and trails over
which it was known he would be
forced to travel and they then placed
siiiads in ambush, but, according to
the St. Louis Kepublie, although Day
had been seen or traced along the road,
he always slipped through their tinkers
without a sctatch.
At last the secret of his success in
evading the officers became known.
Day had a number of thoroughbred
dogs which he had trained to scent out
revenue officers or strangers and to
notify hint of their presence long le
fore they could come in sight. When
traveling over the routesor trails lead
ing to and from any of his stills two of
Day's dogs always trotted along in
front several hundred yards, taking op
posite sides of the road. Two would
fall back in the rear and one would
advance like a scout on each side. In
case of an ambuscade the dogs in front
would scent the presence of the deputy
marshals liefore they got within one
hundred yards of them. They would
then return quickly to their master
and inform him by their actions of the
presence of the enemy. Day would
then take to the woods to the right or
left, with a dog in advance, and pass
around an ambuscade without being
seen. In case pursuers should come
up behind. Day's do's. which hail been
trailing along, would quickly heur or
scent them, and then would hurry for
ward to their master, who, kuowing by
their actions how close the enemy was,
could easily evade them. With such
guards it was almost useless for the
officer to attempt to capture Day.
They often gave up the search in dis- '
gust, t start out a month or two latet
rcinvigorated and encouraged by ru
mors or reports or spies, to fail again
and again. Day could be heard of in
McIo.vell county one day. and the
next some one from Taswell, in Vir
ginia, fifty miles away, would report"
that he had leit seen in that section.
He proved to be nil ignis fat u us to the
officers, and although they could hear
of half a dozen stills running in as
many places in the mountains, the
officers in the entire fifteen years were
successful ouly in capturing two of his
stills.
THE CUP OF GOLD.
A Maautlrul Flower That the Floral
F.iuhlfiu of California.
Strangers visiting California are at
tracted by the (.Teat splashes of gold
that appear in the pasture lands and
by the waysides, says the London Il
lustrated News. It is t he eschscholtxia
(esh-sholts-i-a), which is now the
flower emblem of California. The ap
propriateness of this selection is seen
in many ways. It is the wild wine
gohlct of the state, suggesti ve, in
color, of the orange and the precious
metal. The Spaniards, indeed, called
i t el oro de-eopo - the cu p of gold. In
the month of lletober, lsliV, the ship
Kurick entered the bay of San Fran
cisco. The naturalist Adalbert von
Chamisso was on the Kurick. and
named the poppy for his companion of
the voyage, one llerr Kschscholt..
The latter may have been a good citi
zen, and his name may sound euphoni
ous to his nation; but to the Anglo
Saxon the word is a mouthful.
Californians should Ik? thankful,
however, that the flower was not
christened with his full name of
.lohann friedricheschscholtia. It will
never be known how many California
school children have barely escaped
strangulation in attempting to pro
nounce the botanical name of the
poppy. This flower has a wide dis
tribution: it is found from Oregon to
the central highlands of Mexico, from
Nevada and Arizona to the islands of
the coast.
STORY OF MARK TWAIN.
lie Waa Willing to flay lto Hut Wanted
the IVriulNlt.
A traveler now- in town on a visit
heard a new- story alxuit Mark Twain
from an old Mississippi river pilot with
whom Mr. Clemens once worked for
awhile in a pilot house on that river,
says the New York Sun. It seems that
he eauie up in the pilot house carrying
an enormous and expensive black Ha
vana cirar which excited the envy of
the master pilot. "Where did you get
that cigar. Sum?" the pilot ashed. ."A
gentleman in the cabin gave it to me,"
said the budding humorist. "Well, do
you think you ought to keep that
cigar and I ought to go without it?"
the pilot asked.
"Now, look here," said Mark Twain.
"I know I am only your helper arid I'm
willing to play il.i),' to you. You can
throw sticks in the water and let me
jump in after 'em. I'll do whatever
you say. but" ami here he drawled
in his peculiar way "I do think I
ought to have some perquisites. "

FARMING IN FOREIGN LANDS.
The cotton crop of India for 1S'.5 was
from 13 .to 18 per cent, higher in the
various provinces than that of the pre
ceding J'ear.
Cotton culture is rapidly increasing
in llurmah, as is indicated by the
amount of exports, which increased
seven fold in the last fiscal year over
those of the preceding year.
The large, white Yorkshire pig has
become the favorite breed with Danish
bacon factories, aud large numbers of
them are imported yearly from Eng

The compauy buys the green pork from

the proportions of butter fats in milk,,
is very popular in Victoria. Australia,
aud its use seems likely to beoomo gen

after a heavy sermon, "I'm tired."
."Indeed." replied the deacon, "then

caped from a railway accident. "Five
people in the same compartment were
killed and my aunt alone escaped;
wasn't it providential!" "Humph!"
said the bishop, "don't know your aunt;
can't say!"
A coi-oNF.L, commanding a Uritish
regiment in India requested a drill ser
geant to ascertain the religious views
of some new recruits. The latter were
paraded and the sergeant cried out:
"Fall in. Church of England men to
the right: Koiuan Catholic men to the
left; all fanc3- religious to the rear."

Wtat (inra to Make faster.
Paper can be made out of almost
anything that can be pounded to pulp.
Over fifty kinds of bark are employed,
while old sacking or bagging makes a
go.l article. Paper is made out of
banana skins, from bean stalks, pea
vines, cocoanut fiber, clover and timo
thy hay, straw, fresh-water weeds, sea
weeds and more than one hundred dif
ferent kinds of grass. Paper has been
made from hair, fur and wool, from as
bestos, wLich furnishes an article in
destructible by fire; from hop plants,
from husks of an3 and every kind of
grain. leaves make a good, strong
paper, while the husks and stems of
Indian corn have also been tried, and
almost every kind of moss can be made
into paper. There are patents for
making paper from sawdust and shav
ings, from thistles and thistle-down,
from tobacco stalks and tan bark. It
is said that there are over two thou
sand patents in this country covering
the manufacture of paper. No matter
what the substance, the process is sub
stantially th same; the material is
ground to a pulp, then spread thinly
over a frame and allowed to dry, the
subsequent treatment depending on
the kind of paper to be made.

SLAVES OF THE
COOK.
New York So lety 1'eople I naltle
to ItlM
at Home 4n Sunday . $
Cooks have their rights as well a. I
other jieople. and that is t he one ivav.ni J1
why the restaurants of New Yuri; are I
crowded every Sunday nifht by eople
who have numerous servants, im-luil.n?
capable coUs. It was a custom for'
many years, nolxwly ltnuu exact Ir k
why, says the New York Sun. to eat i '
liPilVl- ilillllr in fliA rni.lill..ftl... il'ir
on Sumtay. During the prevaleiiee of
this custom the cooks made it a Hiiut
to take Sunday night off. and that
point lias now become a prernjratiir.
Men who dine six days in the i-i-l at
seven are invariably overloaded un.!
titieomfortable wheii they dine in tin
middle of the day on Sunday. The
effort to have Sunday night dinner a:
seven o'clock has resulted in a Hat an.
indubit able failure wherever attempted
by householders, and so the knot has
been cut by allowing the cook t- have
her regular Sunday night oiT.w loa
the master of the hou-e and hi -. wife
go to a restaurant and the chihlreu
scurry alsut for thcmscl.-s. If a
stranger iu New York is anxious to ser
the heavy weight finaii. ial. o i.iiin.-r-cial.
legal and othcrprofessioual men of
New York city at dinner with t loir
wives he should visit 1 lelniniiii-o'-.. tiie
llrunswick, the Savoy, Waldorf or New
Netherlands hotel any Sunday v;
at altout seven o'chn-k. It is a curi.'iii
phase of New York life. Famous m.-n
of every conceivable walk of hd dine
out at these places. The general puhlio
is familiar with their faces, hut ii"t
with those of their wives. There is
often a very strong contrast, as. f .r
instance, a small, famous lawyer and
his niiili-ruiis, domineering wife. ln
tips the Irani at two hundred and fifty
pounds a;id bullies the wait.r;
famous statesman, whose wife i
palpably jealous at his slightest
glance at his neighbors; an eminent
judge of sixty and his tlirt at i us w ife
of twenty, and so on interuiiual.iy.

words of the very early American mis-

the salvation of the (Jentiles. In the
time of which prayers, singintf
I'salmes, aud reading of certainc i-hai-ters
of the Hible, they sate very utteu
tivcly." Aa Awkwaral Sltuattoa.
A physician of Oco-.ta. Wash., w bile t
iHttani.ing in the xvimhIs near that
place recently, stumbbsl across a luff
black lcar. which got annoyed at hi
presence and chased him. The rail
road was a few yards away, aud the
doctor tok to tlie track and spl inted
along it a few yards ahead of the
beast, until a long trestle was reached
when the liear halted and squatted
down to watch the doctor hop aloiilf
the ties. When he was s third of t"
way across a freight train apj-ared
at 'the further end. Out on a big"
trestle, with a ln-ar waiting for him at
one end and a freight train coming f',r
hiiu from the other, the doctor f'-lt
that the situation was embarrassing
He dropjH'd to a supporting Ix-am-hung
from the end of it while th"
train passed overhead, and then con
tinued his way across the trestle aJ
home by another route.
Two centuries ago there arose
fashion in Italy of posthumous his
tories; that is to say, an author would
devote his life to the preparation of
historical work, leaving it to 1"" rl"
lished after bis death by some noble
man of his acquaintance. Most were
never published at all, though one,
