"Well," said the bngBaBcmnn of the Lackawanna And Montrose passenger train at Al iOrd, on Saturday, "did you over hear low the mosquitoes saved a man's life it Stimmersvllle last summer? "While getting out bluestone up on the hill, UI1I Crandall was bitten In the lop by a rattlesnake. A New Mil ford doctor was at once sent for, and the Ipjj was bandaged tightly above the wound. It was expected that Crandnll would die bcfoie the doctor could ar rive. Just as noon as the lep was bared to put on the bandage It was attacked by a swatm of mosaultos, and when the doctor arrhed ho found Crandall as lively ns a cricket, but the ground was covered w Ith dead and dying- mos qultos. They had sucked the poison from the wound and suved Crandall's life. The mosqultos presented their bills and died. The doctor presented his bill and got the difference. This was hard on the mosaultos, but It Is presumed Crandall's life was worth saving. If xou doulu this story, ask the llreman."

The Klmlra Telegram's statement that Tommy O'Gara, Susquehanna's crack pitcher, would pitch for the Otl olcs, of the ninghamton City league, has no foundation In fact. IN A LIGIITmt VIMN. The attempt to make the Hlble suit all our notions Is like twisting a sign post to suit a cross-eyed man. Forest City News. It might be a good Idea for the editor of the News to unload a few of his "notions." A Binghamton young lady recently ran into the ofllce of a staid old law yer and hugged and kissed him, and said that she accepted his offer of mar riage, although he had never made one. She was crazy. The fact that she ran into a lawyer's office Instead of an editor's proves that. A Susquehanna county chinch so ciety, having decided to build a new place of worship, th5 pastor went about begrilng very realously, ac cepting, not only the widows mite, but the childs' mite. Jn the Sur.'.ay fcchool, one Sabbath, while ins'iuetlmr tne children, the pastor compared him self to a shephoul, and fien tnquhed what the shepherd did vvitn 1ils sheep. One bright little fellow promptly tc plled: "He shears them!"

Many a oung lady who aspires to fame via pencil, brush nnd canvas, would be a "rising artist" at once If she would turn her attention to mak ing bread. Good deeds pan out better than good intentions.

From the Jewelers- Weekly. Ebany was known and highly es teemed b the nncients as an artlcla of luxuiy, and was used by them for a varlet ot put poses. In India it Is said that it was emplced by kings for scepters and also for Images. On account of its supposed antagonism to poisons It was used largely for dt Ink ing cups. Its use has extended con tlguousl down to the picsent time, and in Lnglanl, as well as on the con tinent, it has always bf-en held In hls'h estetm b the wealthy for toilet ai ti des and boxes. In Fiance particulat ly the manufacture of ebony goods has attained a high degree of perfection. Within a few years Its use in the Unit ed States has Inci eased lemarkably, in laige measure, no doubt, on ac count of Its combination with silver, which Is believed to have originated in this country. The striking contrast of the dead black of the wood and the brilliant white of the silver has from the outset commended It to the Amer ican people. This combination. It Is said, has now been Introduced into Englund nnd other Eutopean countries. Tho silver mounting of the ebony gives scope for the taste and original ity of the silversmith. The style of decoration most frequentlv used on tho larger pieces consists of a bolder of scrolls, of (lowers or of a combination of net oils and floral designs. Tho variety and degree of elaboration of the borders shown are almost endless. Sometimes the border extends only halt way around the edge of the nitlcle. A silver shield on which the initials of the owner may be engiaved Is gen erally placed In tho center of the piece. This shield Is occasionally replaced by a monogram, moie or less elaborate, which may be the only mounting used, Larry Initials aio also used Instead of a nionogiam. Another style of clee oiation consists of a bended edge of silver. While the border Is occasional ly used on smnller pieces, the decora tion for thebo Is generally conllned to a shield or monogiain. The shield may be combined with Jloial designs or scrolls. The name ebony Is given to the wood of sevi-ial varieties of trees. All kinds of ebonv are distinguished for their great density of dark color. The wood In all niletles nie heavier than water; the heaviest vailetles are tho darkest. The other grades requite a consider able amount of staining to make them Cluck. Ebony Is of a unlfoim color throughout, and will not show any de terioration oven fiom long continued use. There nr-"" three varieties of ebony well known In commerce, Tho ebony fiom the Gaboon coast of Africa is the darkest. Tho Madagascar ebony Is the densest. Tho Cacassar ebony furnishes the largest pieces. Almost all obony Is sent In the form of logs to London, and from there shipped to the various countries In which It Is used for manufacturing purposes. It Is sold by weight. Imitations of ebony enn always bo distinguished by their lighter weight, nnd the cheaper Imitations can be de tected by merely scratching the sur face. A TALKING- MOCKING BIRD. A Songster That Is tho Wonder of a, Georgia Town, from the Augusta (Oa ) Herald. A mocking bird belonging to Mrs. William Nelll has actually been taught by her to talk. It Is very interesting, Indeed, to hear It utter the words that have, by persistent nnd painstaking ef forts, been taught it. The bltd's cog nomen Is Charlie, and it has a reputa tion that is envied by mocking bird owners. It mimics every noise It hears if repeated a number of times, and can repeat all the call whistles that tho boys of the various cliques and clans use ns signals. Mr. Nelll used to own a dog, and their favorite call for the pet animal was "Hear, hear, hear, hear," and a short whistle, and repeated. Now the bird Charlie can call that dog as dis tinctly as any person might. It very clearly says, "Hear, hear (whistle); hear, hear," etc. While living at the Planters' Hotel, Mr. and Mrs. Nelll were frequently treated to a cat serenade, and the bird learned to mimic them to a surprising degree. Now that they are residing In piesumably a catless neighborhaacl they are often fooled by the bird, who can mew so much like a cat that one Is loath to believe that tho sounds issue from the bird's throat unless ac tually standing nenr the cage. Mr. Nelll used fiequetitly to amuse himself by salng to the blid. "Tom my, don't," "Tommy, don't," nnd sometimes, "Now, Tommy, don't." The bird has lenrend to sny It now ns distinctly as Mr Nelll himself. On one of the chimneys of the house adjoining where Mi. and Mis. Nelll reside Is a bonnet, and when the air Is stirring that bonnet tuins as the wind changes direction, with a hideous creaking. The other day Mrs .Nelll, whose loom windows face tho chim ney, heaid the creaking, nnd was just about to abuse the bonnet when she discovered that the mischievous bird was making the noise. The bird can crow like a rooster nnd cackle like a ben. It often beguiles the inmates of the house to the front door by imitating the postmnn's whl3tli. It can nlso mimic the police man's whistle, in fact there nre very few fam'llar sounds that it has not Ic-aind. Mis. Neill once owned a bird that could whistle two familiar waltzes. She would whistle them for it lust pi lor to letliing, nnd In the morning again the tunes were whistled until tho little blid learned them perfectly. It Is very remarkable to hear a mocking bird utter words, and It Is doubtful whether there Is nnother be sides the one owned by Mrs. Neill that enjoys that teputation. It requires consldeiablo pains to teach the bird, and certainly a great amount of in genuity and skill. Mr. nnd Mrs. Nelll pilze the bird -very highly. THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review. New York, June 26. The bull contin gent in stocks failed to tealize their expectations today, though the changes at the close show net gains for tho majoilty of stocks. Final prices, bow ever, were considerable below the best nnd the tone of tho market duilng the latter part of the day was decidedly unsettled and spotty, In spite of the' sustaining Influence of notably strength in some stocks. The first rally In the market followed the sharp bieak In the wheat maikct and was mest noticeable lit tho southwestern grnngei.s, especially Burlington and Atchison preteired. The continued vve.ikne.s3 in Baltimore and Ohio and signs of heaviness in Pennsylvania dis couraged the buying of tho railroad stocks and they were Inclined to droop timing the latter part of the day. The sustaining force during that period was the advance In Brooklyn Transit nnd the steel stocks. In the former the bears showed symptoms of alarm, recalling their painful experiences growing out of tho slmllnr weakness In Third avenue ana other traction stock. There was on news to account for tho strength In tho steel stocks, but they were absoibed with consider able confidence and advanced easily on smal transactions. Their gains at ono time mil from 1 to 3V4. Appar ently tho oplnoln Is gaining force that the decline In price of iron and its products has almost run Its course. A fuither rise In the pilco of lend fol lowing tho iccovcry of yesterday, and the strength of sliver demand from foreign countries hnd a tonic effect on nl the metal maikets.
