They sterpr d to the edge of the side
walk and ljufced long and earnestly io
the direction cf the cornice d! one of
the biir buildinzs. Of course tinder the
circumstances the man who had been
standing in the doorway felt impelled
to join them. He could not see anything
extraordinary at the top of the building,
but he kept Lis eyes upturned because
they did.
A man who was hurrying along saw
the three, and be at once forgot where
he was going and what he had to do,
and joined them.
"I told you 60," said the man who
had first cast Lis eyes in that direction,
and he made a motion as if to point out
something to his companion.
Four men who were passing saw the
posture and stopped to investigate, and
Lvfore they had fairly fixed their gaze
upon the cornice three others joined
them.
"You may be right," returned the
companion of the man who had first
fpoken, "but you said 20. you know."
Six more people, including two wom
en, were now straining their eyes to see
what was wrong with the cornice, and
a rumor was in circulation that some
one had tried to throw a child out of
one of the windows. This was promptly
denied by the man who knows it all and
wbo is always present on such an occa
sion. He said that a gang of counter
feiters bad been found on the top floor
and had taken refuge on the roof, where
they were preparing to do battle with
the officers who had been sent to arrest
them.
Meanwhile the little group at the edge
of the sidewalk Lad swelled to a crowd
of over a hundred.
"Well, are yon satisfied now?" asked
the man who had first stopped.
"Yes," replied his companion.
"There are more than 20."
"More than 20 what:" anxiously in
quired several of those nearest the two.
"Fools," returned the first speaker
promptly, "inspired idiots. Yon see, we
bad a dispute as to the number of fools
to be seen on the streets of a great city,
and I bet him we could gather 20 around
ns in ten minutes by simply standing
out here and looking up at the cornice.
Gentlemen, there are more than 20 of
you here, and I win."
Then a hundred or more solemn look

' A GOPHER AS A HYPNOTIST.
Beld fcr Ita Glltterinc Eye. a Rabbit
Awaited Certain Death.
A gopher snake atEscondidohas been
the cause of much earnest discussion
local naturalists recently. The
Question discussed was, "Do SnaWes
Charm or Hypnotize Their Prey?" One
of tho naturalists had the unusual but
fortunate experience at Escondido of
happening upon a large gopher snake
just as the reptile was about to over
come a trembling cottontail rabbit and
envelop the animal in its deadly coils.
For some time the naturalist watched
the 6uake's movements.
It was within 10 or 12 inches of the
apparently fascinated rabbit. Silently
and almost imperceptibly the snake had
wormed its way nearer and nearer to
its victim. Its eyes glistened with an
intense brightness. Not a movement did
it make which might alarm the timid
rabbit The forked tongue, which to the
eye of a human being is so repulsive
and intended to be terrifying, appeared
to exert an entirely different influence
npnn the mind of the innocent rabbit
This darting tongue either excited the
victim's curiosity or caused the animal
to so concentrate its mind on the snake's
tongue as to throw that mind into a
bypuotio condition of such strength that
it could not break the spell and run
away from impending death. The forked
tongue darted out of tho snake s month
almost as regularly and rapidly as the
needle of a sewing machine rises and
falls in the cloth. The lithe body crept
nearer and nearer. The rabbit was mo
tionless. Its eye was fixed on the pierc
ing eye of the snake. Even the waving
of the wind kissed shrubs about the
rabbit failed to break the spell, aud
softly aud slowly grim death in snake
form wreathed its folds about the crea
ture. Then was the spell broken.
To the naturalist who watched the
capture of the rabbit it appeared as if
the snake Lad certainly fascinated the
animal As a gopher snake is not poi
sonous and Las no well developed fanga,
its only means of killing prey is by con
striction. In order to catch an animal it
seems almost necessary for the snake to
fascinate the victim. Washington Post

Success on the Farm.
The farms that give the lar;,fst profit
are those which receive thelalxir of the
fanner; that i-s the farmer utilizes his
capital iu the shaieoflaNT rather than
to expend any sums for help. Lalor is
so much capital to be applied, and if
the farmer does not utilize it he keep
that much out of his business which
should !e invested iu it. A farm may
pay, and yet the farmer receives but a
small sum therefrom. It pays because
the investment may be very small. It
requires capital to derive a profit, and
unless the capital is nsed the farm
will not produce more than the venture.
Large farms which are said to pay do
not always give more thun a fair per
centage on tlie investment or capital
employed. A farm iu which KjO.OOO
capital is invested for land and Ialior,
aud which produces $5,000 per annum
as profit, yield a dividend of tenner
wiit. while a email farm, iu which only
a thousand dollars is employed maybe
claimed to be uiip-odi'ctive if the profit
is only fM0, yet the dividend therefrom
is. 20 per cent., or tw ice as much a-
that derived from the large farm pro
portionately. THE VA..I K OF I.AISOK.
The farmer who gives his own lalior
devotes more capital to his farm than
he may supiose. If his labor is worth
5 per year it is equal to the interest
oa a capital of 10,000, for he receives
back his lalior in his profit, and ap
plies it to the farm every year, just the
same as though he devoted $10,000 cap
ital and paid for labor. Labor is,
therefore, capital that brings in are
turn every year ( it matters not wheth
er it is styled wages or interest), and if
the profits are only $000 then the farm
does not pay for the capital invested in
the land, buildings, etc., though farm
ers who operate small farms without
help are usually satisfied to receive back
a fair recompense for their labor only.
Where farmers with larger farms are
compelled to employ help they are not
so easily satisfied. It is, consequently,
more profitable to oik. rate a smail farm,
because the labor of the farmer is an
Item which can lie applied ; or, rather,
the labor can go to waste fr.r.wmit of
application otherwise.
HETTER PROFITS OX SMALL FAUMS.
Small farms are lietter managed, for
when the farmer does the work him
self he learns where the mistakes are
made, and how to economize. The
work is clso done more thoroughly and
skillfully, and the cost of production is
reduced to a minimum. The profit on
a small farm is proportionately larger
because not only is more economy prac
ticed than on large farms, but also be
cause the crops grown will be of a kind
that will bring the best prices. This
has already been demonstrated where
small fruit farms are made to pa , as
in New Jersey, the farms in some sec
tions being not over five acrrs in area,
and yet they have supported their own
ers comfortably w hile owners of large
farms elsew here have lieen unable to
make a profit, on their iovesiment
The small fann that is well-tilled is
also more fertile than a lage one, as it
receives more manure proportionately ;
this increased fertility representing pro
fit or capiat locked up in the soil for
future use. but which is just as availa
ble for the next crop as so much capital
deposited in a bank.

Gambling Without Limit
"O, George." she exclaimed, as they
gazed seaward, "There seems to be
no limit to old ocean's broad expanse.
And the waves, how they gamliol
along the shore." "The waves are
very foolish, dear." "How, foolish?"
"To gambol where there U no limit"
But not half so foolish as are thou
sands' who dying with consumption
are staking their last chance on this or
that" remedy which has never yet
been known to cure, and refusing to
try that which certainly brings them
back to life and health Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. In the
earlier stages of this terrible disease it
is positive a cure, while even in the last
stages it gives great relief and prolongs
life. For weak lungs, spitting of
blood, lingering coughs, Asthma ami
kindred ailments, if is u most positive
remedy.
All Around the Farm.
A Texas farmer is said to have the
largest mule that ever walked on Amer
ican soil. It is .lSj hands or C feet 2
inches iu height and weiglis 1000
iciunds.
M. F. Greeley says that a strong,
well-made Dakota grown mutton is
worth to-day from $4 to $8 to any man
who has plenty of well grassed prairie
convenient to his buildings. Sheep are
coming to the front in the Northwest,
A California paper urges the farmers
of that State to get out of the old wheat
rut and grow poultry. It says that last
year 2,0m 1,000 dozen eggs were shipped
t that State from east of the Rockies.
Jf that is the case there is paying em
ployment there for a good many hens.
A good deal is heard of late about the
Pasteur cattle vaccines. They have
been applied to anthrax tharbon, black
leg, quarter evil, etc., and over 13,000,-
000 cattle have been vaccinated iu Eu
rope, and the results are reported satis
factory. The principle is the same as
in the vaccination of human beings
against smallpox.
The fact that various kinds of small
b'rds once so common, are now very
scarce is commonly attributed to their
destruction to gratify woman's pride in
trimming her hats. But thesong birds
have other nemles also, esiieeially the
English sparrow, which drives them
away from their old haunts near dwel
lings. Iu the wild woods the small
birds are exposed to many enemies.
Hawks of various kinds prey on them,
while squirrels plunder their nests and
destroy their eggs. Nothing will set
small birds to such a storm of protest
as the presence of a squirrel in the
neighborhood of the nests. It is a guide
to any one who is hunting the squirrel,
for this outcry of the birds gives warn
ing of his approach before the hunter
could possibly 6ee him.
A gray-haired fanner named W. B.
Anderson, in Willink, Erie County, X.
Y., drives a pair of mares that, though
34 and 3! years old, are still able to do
a good day's work ou his farm or take
him on the road to thecity. The team
has never had any other owner, and
they have never been over driven. It
is the excitement of too fast driving,
which the horse probably enjoys as
well as hLs owner, which shortens the
life of most horses. We never knew
horses to attain such age as this. Usual
ly the teeth liecome so poor that they
can only eat cut and ground feed, but
this is usually best for all horses that
have hard work to do, as it saves un
necessary labor for the digestive or
gans. American Cultivator.
All orchards in full bearing should
have an annual top dressing of mineral
fertilizers. But the trees that have
blossomed heavily should also lie dress
ed with stable manure used as a mulch
nd spread under them a little further
than their rootj extend, which in bear
Ing trees will cover the entire ground
lietween them and their neighbors on
either side. If hogs are turned into
root under the trees they will mix the
earth and the top dress manure, so that
the soil will be in the best possible con
dition to hold the rainfall and keep it
in position for use by the tree roots.
Managed in this way the apple-crop
will not lie injured by dry weather lute
in the season.
At a Xew York farmers' institute the
possibility of feeding butter fat into a
cow's milk was brought up. Director
Smith stated that if the cow was not
fed anything, there would be no fat in
milk. If a cow is not up to her normal
condition, the fat in her milk am be
increased ; if she is, jt cannot A cow
was bought for the Cornell Universi
ty herd, which was made to increase
the fat in her milk two per cent One
can only ascertain whether a cow is at
her limit by testing her milk and in
creasing aud changing her ration. But
the cost of forcing her to her limit
may prove too much. Of course, there
must be a stopping place some
where, else she could keep on increas
ing the fat per cent indefinitely.
