This house has been thorough ly renovated, remodeled, and re fitted with new furniture and carpets; has electric bells and all other modern conveniences for quests, and is as convenient, and desirable a home for strangers as can be found in Hutler, l'a. Klegant sample room for use 01 commercial men lj l fCTTJ nERE are a lot j I of amatewrs — A * tramps, pic k fn/L pockets, sneak J'M thieves and V ; !I such— who are ' driven bv hard necessity to take up bur g-lary as a side line in the winter. Itiirjlars of this class are seldom as bold and never as skillful as the regular practitioners. It was probably one of these burplar; who broke up the ladies" card purty on Lake avenue the other evening. To the feminine mind, generally, if there is anything anions; fierce wftd ! animals more terril.le than the mouse | it is the burglar. The card party seems I to have been an average assembly in • this respect, for the ladies shrieked Hnd | stampeded, and the visitor got away. It was fortunate for him that there j was no one umong them who had the coolness di>pln_ved by the woman who, while arranging her hair preparatory to going to bod. saw the reflection of a man in her mirror. He was hidden just where she had always heard ol burglars hiding—under the bed. She calmly went on arranging her hair, and then, having laid all her valuables in her jewel box. walked over and put them on a shelf in the wardrobe, care lessly leaving the door ajar. She left the room for a moment and returned suddenly, just in time to see the thief step inside ' the wardrobe. Then, of course, she did the obvious thing. When the door was unlocked again he was hauled out liy two big policemen, badly frightened and half smothered. Another case where a thief hid under the lied and came to grief happened on Ohio street during the world's fair, when the town was full of the fingered gentry. Ue had been shadow ing' a wealthy down-town business man for more than a week. His plan was to blip into the house in the evening by following the owner home, hiile, and later in the night rob the place. He , lowed his intended victim several times, as he confessed after his cap ture, but always encountered a police man somewhere in the neighborhood and was afraid to go any farther. At last he succeeded in fretting in, how ever. when the front door was left un locked through the carelessness of a servant, and making his way upstairs went into a room and hid under the bed. This happened to belong to the two daughters of the household. The bed was low and the intruder passed several uncomfortable hours until about ten o'clock, when the young ladies came upstairs. They had devoted themselves assiduously to athletic ex ercises while at school, and usually had a romp before ivtiring On this oc casion they pot into an unusually lively pillow fight. The burglar became so absorbed iu the issue of the combat that he made an involuntary movement to obtain a better view anil in so doing betrayed himsolA "Maud, there's somebody under this bed!" cried one of the girls, but instead of running away, as she would be sup posed to do under such circumstances, she dropped on one knee, and, find ing her suspicions confirmed, seized him by one foot, while her sister, oqually undaunted, took hold of the other and they, dragged him out into the middle of the floor, at the same same time shouting in high soprano ▼oices: "Papa!" "Police!" "Burglar!" "Papa!" Papa came, and, after awhile, the po lice, and among them the Imrglfcr was captured. lie is now at Joliet. Still another instance in which a housebreaker owed his capture to a plucky woman is found in the police annals of Omaha. Mrs. McCormick, wife of a prominent real estate man, on entering the house one evening about eight o'clock, after a brief visit to a neighbor, saw a man just turning on the landing at the head of the stair way. She thought it was her nephew, who had forgotten something while on his way down town, and had returned after it. So she called to him, and asUed him why he had not gone to the city. "Forgot my watch," came back from the man upstairs, who, whatever his other qualifications for his work, was clearly lacking in imagination. The idea was so improbable and the voice sounded so odd that Mrs. Mc- Cormick, who was all alone in the house except for a couple of maid serv ants who were in another part of the house, started up the stairs. She met the man just as he was coming down. Taking his cue from her previous ques tion, he tried to put on a bold front, und said that he had been sent by "Bob" to get his watch und some other things. "I'ma friend of Hob's," he added reas suringly. "No, you're not. You're u burglar, and you shall not leave this house," said Mrs. McCormick, as she seized him by the lapelsof is coat. She confessed afterward that it occiyred toheratthu time that a burglar would be a white elephant on her hands, but termined that lie should not get away with his booty. The burglar,whocould, no doubt, have broken loose without dif ficulty if he had not topped to parley, urgucd a fuw moments too long, for while this inler< -tUng dialogue was going on be th "lioV and Mr. McCor mick came in the door, und after a short struggle succeeded In getting thu man down, where they held him until Mrs. McCormick secured a policeman Prayer as a specific for burglars ought to commend ilsclf to a preacher above ull men, and yet only the othen day—less than a Week ago, in fact there was recorded in one issue the uc eount of one minister down In Mis souri who shot a burglar who called at the parsonage In the middle >f tho night (presumably for something more tungllde than spiritual advice) and an other gentleman of the cloth in In diana who put a bullet into u pugilist. A pugilist, of course, Is clearly with out the pale, but there is always a pos sibility of reform for a burglar and to sensitive natures the conception of a preacher with human blood ou his hands is not an agreeable one. The Instances Just mentioned, however, are by no •means without precedent. A Chicago artist who spent some time sketching in Kngland a couple of snin mers ago tells a curious story in this connection.

The manager coughs def erentially as he enters "Ahem, burglars. I presume?" One of the men, a low-browed crea ture, is about to fire, when he is stopped by hi-. <■ uipanions, both of whom turn out to 1h- college graduates. The manager accepts an invitation to be seated, receives one of his own cigars with thanks, hut 'lodines the wine, and starts the conversation on the mer its of burglary as a profession, main taining that equal talent and equal in dustry if upplied i:i some lawful calling would bring much greater returns. The two young collegians—the fourth member of the company is ignored in the conversation defend the honor of their profession with becoming warmth in arguments freely sprinkled with lib eral quotations from Horace and other persons about whom burglars are not supposed to know anything, and so matters run along until suddenly a dozen policemen burst into the room and the three men are securely hand cuffed and led away, while the man ager sums up liiscase apainst the bur gling profession and bids them pood night. This sounds improbable enough, per haps, but a couple of burglars were ar rested in the suburbs of Chicago—prob ably it was Oak Park not so long ago, under circumstances almost precisely like those described.

HouiiuuwarlDi on the "Golden Throne" of the Himalayas. Mr. William Martin Conway, the vice president of the Alpine club, de scribed before an Edinburgh audience the other evening how he and two friends, with a Swiss guide and some Sepoys, ascended the "Golden Throne" peak in the Himalayas. They did not quite conquer the throne, but ascended to the respectable height of twenty three thoesand feet. The difficulties in their way he illustrated by mention ing that they spent nine and a hall hours in cutting steps In hard blue ice on the edge of a ridge exposed to the full blaze of the sun. and in an atmos phere so rarefied that they were ren dered sick and dizzy. The party were rewarded, however, for their toil by some magnificent views of tHe sur rounding peaks in the light of the set ting sun. When they set off on the return journey darkness had set in, and the perils of the journey were thereby greatly increased. They finally reached a slope of ice, on which there was nothing left for it but to sit down and fly forward into the darkness at headlong speed. Right In front of them they knew there yawned a crevasse more than a thousand feet deep, and the only way to cross this was to slide down the slope with enough impetus to carry them over the edge on to the other side. Their sensa tion, Mr. Conway said, as they sudden ly left the solid ice and found they had nothing to sit upon but space was ex hilarating in the extreme. Fortunately they landed safely on the other side, and continued their de scent, literally keeping up the mo mentum they had gained until they were carried within three or four yards o# their tent. LONG SKATES FOR SPEED. Tho Philosophy and Iljrglanlct of th« Fn rorifte Winter Sport. Considerable time and ingenuity have been expended recently in the efforts to produce a form of skate which will combine lightness and convenience of arrangement with great speed. The scientific principle involved in this work is far more complex than is gen erally supposed, and. as outlined by the Scientific American, makes a very in teresting study. Bpeed in skating Is, of course, attained by the proper appli cation of every particle of motive pow er. When the skater strikes out with his foot he does not, however, as is generally supposed, obtain momentum from the broad side pressure of the skate on the ice. The momentum is gained by a gradual and tapering pres sure which commences at the head of the skate, since it is here that the freshest and strongest force Is applied. It will be seen that the momentum is increased, therefore, by the pressure exerted steadily and firmly otstward from the heel of the skate to the ex treme toe. The proper way to attain great speed is to strike out each foot as close to the other as possible, to con tinue the stroke up to the toe, and when once the extreme motive power is passed to get the other foot in posi tion us quickly as possible. The prime factors in producing speed, it will be seen, are the full pressure on the ice and the rapid movement of the legs. Working upon this theory, a long, heavy skate has been manufactured, with a blade which extends several Inches beyond the foothold. SEA GULLS FAR INLAND. They Don't Seem to Mind Flying Far Away from Their Halt Water Home. There seems to be no limit to tho In land flights of the gull, said an obser vant sportsman just back from the Rocky mountains. I have seen these broad-winged sailers of the air darting about the forest-environed lakes of northern Maine, and winging their way up the canyons of mountain streams in rt Arizona five hundred miles from the Gulf of California, the nearest salt waver. Sometimes several gulls may be seen far inland Journeying in com pany, but often only a single one is found traveling apparently on his own hook. Walking about the ranche of a friend near Las Vegas, N. M., last autumn, 1 was astonished to see a gull, one of whose wings had been clipped so that it could not fly, hopping about on the ground among his poultry, with which the sea bird seemed to be on the most amicable terms. My host had wounded the gull in the wing while duck-shooting on a prairie lake in northern New Mexico. What desire for change or travel carried this winged creature of the sea level one thousand miles inland and up six thousand feet of altitude to the land-locked, weed-grown, fresh-water pond where it was cap tured is probably beyond the ken of the naturalist to explain. THE SCOTS GREYS. A Keglnieat uf liragooas Famoua lino* the Time of Charlea ll "Second to None," is the proud motto of tho gullant and famoua regiment— tho Second I>ragooti guards, or "Royal Scots Greys." It is u happily chosen motto, says tl e Scottish American, for tho fame of tha regiment is worldwide. Its brilliant achievements on the field of battle during two centuries; its strik ing and historic name; its grand and Imposing uniforms—-have made the Royal Scots Greys,as an individual corps, there is no gainsaying, the most widely known and familiar of all the regi ments of the Uritish army. Since tho regiment was raised in the reign of tho second Charles the dra goons have borne themselves well in iuuny a famous field, but wunt of space forbids us to note the exploits until "earth-shaking" Waterloo came on the glory roll of tho gallant greys. Here, with tho English "Royals" und Irish "Inniskilllngs," tlioy formed the famous "Union brigade," which formed the never-to-be-forgotten picture of tho "Fight for the Standard." That widely known picture shows a man of the greys, Sergt. Ewurt, capturing the eag'le of a very famous French corps, the "forty-llfth of the line." Sergt. Ewurt himself has told tho story in a letter to his father. A lVcullar Simile. Mr. Westside —Doosen berry's wife has (lied. She was an excellent woman —a much better woman than he Is a man.

For the average stock feeder com paratively simple methods of stock feeding are the most profitable, whether the kind of shelter, the daily care or the preparation of the food are considered. Such is the outcome oi the feeding trials through sever*! years at the University of Illinois, -by G. E. Morrow. Thus the of evidence is the profitableness of cooking the rations, though grinding the grain frequently returned a profit, especially In the case of small grain. It is wasteful to feed unground wheat to hogs or cattle, as much of the whole wheat passes through these animals undigested. V.'.o same Is true of barley, rye and oats, so that when a small grain can not be ground It should be well soaked. It is not generally profitable, hr -«r, to grind corn for fattening cati md hogs, as in most cases the :in MU c:m grind It more cheaply th: • 1 1 r, the undigested grains b* ii"» ti> ood condition for the hogs * hich .low the cattle. Either the crushing the soaking of the large, unshelled e .r of oorn has l>een a profitable practice. In good weather the outdoor feeding of cattle was more profitable than stall feeding, and it is believed that a good ahed is more profitable than a stable as a shelter for steers. Stock cannot be fed as economically during the ex tremes of winter or summer as in tha spring and fall, though winter feeding may often be justified by the higher prices secured, while some grain feed ing during the summer is often neces sary in order that the cattle may be ready for the fall market. The cost of fall grain feeding of cattle has seldom been repaid by the direct in crease in weight at prevailing prices. The growth of the whole carcass, rather than of fat, yields the profit, which should be at least one cent per pound. A profitable cow must not only rear calves, but must produce milk and finally beef.—Prairie Farmer. CHEAPLY-MADE STEAMER. Suitable for Cooklug Feed and Boot* tar Cattle or Swine. A cheaply-made steamer for cooking feed, roots, etc., for cattle or swine can be made by any farmer possessing a little mechanical genius. For such as shown in the cut, first secure a piece of heavy sheet Iron Bxlo feet for the bottom.

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS. SintEP must have pure air and plenty of it; see that the sheds are well ven tilated. Do NOT feed corn to pregnant ewes If It can be avoided; It develops too much heat aud fat. KEEP an eye on the sheep at this sea son; If Insect or scab Is found treat ment should follow at once. SIIKRI* should l>e ablo to seek shelter or take to the open air at their option. Constant confinement or exposure is not well. A vkhy thin lamb or sheep if given the run of tho stockyards pleasant days will nearly always pick up faster than if shut up close und fed grain. WHEN feeding sulphur to sheep they should bo protected from rain or melt ing snows; In fact, they should bo so protected under all circumstances. IT is not safe to feed millet seed, or millet liay the seed of which was fully matured to stock, though sheep will tako better care of It tlian any other anlmul, since they masticate their food more finely.—lYairie Farmer. Coit of Fattening Un be. Lambs 10 days old were fed at tho Wisconsin station on cow's milk from a bottle. The feeding lasted three weeks. The cost per 100 pounds of gain during this time, with milk at 00 cents per 100 pounds, was 53. 47. They were then changed tosweet skim milk, oats, green olovcr, and groen fodder corn, and fed for four weeks. Valuing skim milk at 83 cents per 100 pounds, oats at 20centa per bushel, etc., the food per 100 pounds of gain cost 12. 30. From that time on tho cost gradually Increased with tho weight of the lambs and the amount of grain they required, until, when five months old, the cost was 94. 50 per 100 pounds of gain Compared with pigs the lambs did exceedingly well, both la oost of food and in gain. roHITIVK F.VIDKNCM.
