JACK RABBITS FOR COURSINO.
Hald to lie Oreatly ftnperlor to the English
Hare Fnr That I'nrposn.
The sport of rnbbit cnnrpiiiR is receiv
ing a now impetus rince the Kmisns
black tailed Jnck rabbit hits entered the
arenn. Not until qnite recently hits the
coursing fraternity born nwmo of tho
Brent superiority of the Jnck over the
cotton tail rnbbit or the English linre for
this purpose. Knnnts jnck rabbits nra
Bow Rrently In nVtnnnil, both in this
country mid in Englnnrl, nml livo ones
cnmmnnd a good prioe. The difficulty In
latching them alive is very grent, nnd
only one mnn in Knnsits, so fnr ns
known, has given his undivided atten
tion to the work.
Chnrlcs I'nyne, fiunilinrly known
throughout tho west ns n hunter nml
plninsmnn, hns been n jnck inhliit en
thusiast for yenrs, and it is. largely '
through his efforts thnt the merits of the
animal for conrHiti(i purposes have be
coino fo generally lpo'iynaiei). The cap
ture of iive jacks involves thn purchase
of a Rirnt denl of expensive parapher
nalia. Mr. I'nyne hns two nets made of
seln twin?, 0 feet In height, which,
when, both are extended, reach nlnuwt
across a section, mid nindn expressly for
catching live Jock. His method of en
trapping the live jacks is unique. It is
his nsunl custom, when preparing for
the raid upon the rnhhits, to ndvortise
among the farmer boys the day upon
which the jack rnbbit drive is to take
place.
At tho appointed time hundreds of
country boys, mounted on ponies, flock
to tho rendezvous, armed with fog horns,
drums, hells nnd nny tiling else that will
make discordant music. They are de
ployed iu a semicircular line two miles
in front of the net, and at a given sig
nal from tho marshal of thodny tho line
moves toward tho not, each man making
nil the noise possible. If the hunting
grounds, have been well selected, the
horsemen will have no trouble in
"bouncing" rabbits innumerable, mid
as they senmper away toward the net,
followod pellmell by tho engor farmer
boys, the scene is one of great anima
tion. The rabbits, if they do not become
confused by the noise and exoitement,
bound away toward tho net at almost
lightning speed, and many of them
strike the net so hard that they break
their necks. Those that survive the shock
camper into the pockets which are in
geniously arranged for their reception,
and for them the jig is up. Rabbits
sometimes die of fright, not having suf
ficient strength to make the race for life.
These rabbit drives are among the most
popular sports In which the prairie
farmers indulge, and it is customary for
the organizer of the drive to provide a
bounteous spread for his gratuitous
helpers. Philadelphia Times.
A Doctor's Discomfort In a High Plaoa.
Some of the patients of one of the
prominent physicians in Dorchester are
getting well pretty rapidly these days
under the influence of a joke which
thoybave recently hoard regarding their
iEsculapins. It seems that this doctor
has a horror of high plnoes and is al
ways dizzy when on lofty buildings.
Not long ago some relatives from Eng
land visited him and suggested a trip
to Bunker Hill, and, in common with
abont one-half of the population of Bos
ton, the doctor was not only forced to
acknowledge thnt he had never been to
the top of the monument, but was
obliged to accompany his guests to the
summit of the granite shaft It cannot
he ascertained whether the persons whom
they found there had ever heard of the
doctor before, bat he had not been there
many minutes when one of the strangers
was beard to remark that the suu bad
such an influence on the monument that
on warm days it warped it This was
enough for the doctor, and, with a part
ing remark that he would see bis friends
at the base, he beat a hasty retreat, go
ing down, it is said, four steps at a
time and cot feeling safe until he had
ran ont on the lawn about the monu
ment far enough to get ont of the way
in case it felL The joke of it all is that
the doctor, in a state of abseutminded-
ness told the story himself, and now,
tnnoh to his chagrin, bis patients are
laughing themselves into good health,

Hot Soldier.
A certain solicitor general of Ena
land visited Berlin on a vacation, and
being mistaken for bearing a military
title was Invited to a review and mount
ed on a charger. Being accustomed to
following the hounds, he made an ex
pellent equestrian, but when asked opln
ions as to some of the maneuvers ws
obliged to parry the arose examination.
A similar inoident befell the late Mar
shall Bidwell, an eminent New York
lawyer, in the fifties, who visited Paris
In long vacation. Presenting his card at
the gate of the Tnllerles, he was polite
ly informed that the emperor was at a
review, and if he desired a dragoon
should be detailed to aooompany nim
on horseback to the Champs de Mars,
"But I am not a soldier," said the old
lawyer. "Not a soldier, and a mar

Bide and Reek
A pastime in which all the cats tie
light is hide and seek behind the pi 1
lows of a bed or sofn. Iu the. drawing
room there are some old fashioned di
vans against the wall with several cush
ions set upright, which hnvo been the
playground of generations of pets; (lie.
mothers begin by playing with their
kittens, the kittens keep it up toother,
and teach it to younger sets. The point
of the game is which shall boo the other
first ami surprise her by a cult on the
nose, which stantls for "I spy." When
two piny, it is sitnplo enough, but when
fliero are three or four one always re
mains ontiiltle the cushions to seek, and
by degrees the little pink nosed white
facos peep between the cushions with
tho inimitable, nml provocative expres
sions of n kitten nt play, and tho seclter
Is surprised by a tap. If she. be on the
alert, tho hi:ler sometimes vnnishet, nnd
sometimes they try which can get with
in the other's guard nml give the first
whack.
M'liss was particularly fond of liirlci
and seek, and established a mode of
playing it with ns while we wero at
dinner. Hho would hide, on the window
sill behind thn long winter curtains
which are dropped iu the evening, and
would peep out at one side or between
them and mew, popping back again as
we called, "I seo you. " Khe never tired
of this slipping unseen from window to
window to vary the surprise until we
had more than enough of it Temple

"The Woman's club i.s going to dis
cuss parliamentary law tomorrow even
ing, Uilliger," reninrkod Mrs. McSwnt,
"and I don't think I shnll go. I don't
tako nny interest in it."
"Parliamentary law, Lobolin," said
Mr. McSwnt magisterially, "is some
thing yon can't know too mnch nbont.
Yon ought to fnmillnrizo yourself thor
oughly with its usnges. A clear under
standing of parliamentary law," he
wont on, wanning with his subject,
"would ho useful in all the relations of
life. If I wore asked to liatno one thing,
Lobelia, thnt is calculated to add self
reliance to character, assist In solving
the problems thnt arise from dny today,
and make the burden of life less"
"Now, what is the use of your going
on like that, Billigerf" interrupted Mrs.
McSwnt. "What good would it do me
to study parliamentary law, I'd like to
know?"
"Yon would loam not to talk when
yon are not in order," repliod Billiger,
burying himself in his newspaper again.

A Master's Conception.
Fronde has admirably described the
spirit in which Carlyle views the revo
lution, the spirit of a Hebrew prophet,
discerning divine retribution on ill do
ing, and Carlyle himself styles it, in a
letter to Sterling, "a wild, savage book,
itself a kind of French revolution.
It bus oome hot ont of my own soul,
born in blackness, whirlwind and sor
row. " He thought it bod "probably no
chance of being liked by any existing
oluss of Britibh men," but it speedily
aohieved popularity. Mill described it
in this Review as "one of those works
of genius which are above all rules, and
ore a law to themselves," while Kings-
ley says, "No book, always excepting
Milton, so quickened and exalted my
poetical view of man and his history as
that great prose poem, the single epio of
modern days, Thomus Carlyle's 'French
Revolution.' "-Westminster Review.
Europe's Holdinca In Africa.
Within the soope of a magazine arti
cle it is impossible to describe the steps
which France, Germany and Italy sev
erally took. A sufficient idea, however,
may be gained by the casual reader of
what has been done when I say that
within the last ten years Franoe has ac
quired of equatorial Africa about 800,
000 square miles, in which there are
now 800 Europeans; Germany, 400,000
square miles; Italy, 647,000 square
miles ; and Portugal has now a defined
territory extending over 710,000 square
miles. Franoe, moreover, has been ac
tive farther north, in the Sahara and In
west Africa, and claims righto over
1,600,000 square miles, while Germany,
in southwest Afrioa and theOameroons,
asserts her rule over 640,000 square
miles. Henry M. Stanley in Century.
' Asbestos In Boots.
'The Invention consists of a prepara
tion of asbestui wool oompressed into
thin sheets by hydraulic pressure. These
sheets are then waterproofed on one side
by a special solution, and portions in
serted Into the boots as middle soles.
Asbestos being a nonoonduotor of heat,
its interpolation into the fabrio of our
boots and shoes in conjunction with a
waterproof material baa the effect of
counteracting the influences of beat, oold
and moisture. Asbestos lined boots can
not creak in wear, and are, besides,
many times more flexible than boot
made In the ordinary manner. Lastly,
asbestua being a nonoonduotor of eleo
trioity, persons wearing boot thus made
may walk over live electrlo wires in
perfect safety. Publio Opinion,

A Cautious Jurist.
In na action for the value of hounds
killed by a train the opinion of the court
says: "The plaintiff's version is thnt
the train was going west, toward Chat
tanooga, nnd the dogs were going east,
toward Kuoxville. They were nil on tho
sumo trnck nnd going in opposite direc
tions, nnd under these facts a head end
collision was unavoidable. " And again :
"It is insisted by the plaintiff thnt
while the whistle was sounded it was
intended for the whole pack and not fur
the three dogs that wore run over. This,
however, seems to Co a more opinion of
Ihe witness, as he was a qnarter of n
mile away from the place when the
whistle was sounded. In addition it
wonld, we think, be requiring too great
diligence for the engineer to whistle for
each pnrticular dog, nnd more especial
ly as ho had no means of informing
ench dog that uuy special whist lo wuh
sounded for him. Upon these fuels it
appears Unit llio receivers were running
their train upon their own truck, on
regular schedule time, and had no other
track ut that place upon which they
could run. On the other hand, tho plain
tiff's dogs were running on the rail
road's track instead of the fox's track,
which simply crossed the railroad." On
these facts it is held that "tho dogs
wero guilty of the grossest contributory
negligence nnd wore only entitled to
such consideration ns trespassers have
under the law. "Case and Comment.

There have been many estimable peo

an almost insurmountable obstncle.
There was once iu eastern Tennessee
a judge well versed in tho Inw, but en
tirely self educated, who had this same
obstacle of orthography to contend with
all his days. In early life be had lived
in Knoxville, and for a long time insist
ed on spelling the name Noxville.
His friends at last educated him up to
the point of adding the K ; so thorough
ly, in fact, did he learn this lesson that
when, a few years afterward, he re
moved to Nashville, nothing could pre
vent him from spelling the name Knash

the trials of a country doctor in France.

What Put It Ont.

"No, we never have any to speak of ,on

got into port and began to discharge."
"That's strange. What put the fire

"Why, it burned down through to the

The Wickedness ef Rlceplng.
That idea was almost dominant in t(H
llgious society (10 years ago, and some
times assumed forms which, if not ritlio
ulout, were at least quaint. It was, for
instance, held to be wrong for nny bnt ,
tho aged tn sit In easy chairs, not, as Is
now vainly Imagined, from nny ignorant
idea its to the injury ilonn to the figure,
but becanso "lollisiiug" betrayed a
blameworthy tendency to enso unit self
indulgence. That was the origin also of
the extraordinary prejudice against tak
ing any extra sleep. The old knew well
that sleep, when sleep is not needed, Is
V) tho young tho most wenrlsotno of nil
obediences ; nevertheless they believed
that to wish to sleep more than n strict
ly regulated tinio, which, according to
modern bygelsts, was too short, was a '
mark of sluggish self Indulgence, nnd
it was visited, therefore, Willi moral
reprobation.

Kandiyohi's Premature Celebration.
When the late W. R. Marshall was
governor of Minnesota, a strung effort
was inudo to move the state capital to
the cupitol lauds iu Kuudiyolii. It be-
canio an issue before the public in the
election of members to the legislature,
and as soon ns thn legislature convened
bill was introduced. A fierce fight fol
lowed, resulting in the passage of the
measure through both houses. It was
placed on Governor Marshall's desk for
signature. The residents of Kandiyohi
became wild over tho success of tho bill,
and before the governor hud affixed his
siguiituro they cuiuo down to St. Paul,
engaged 8 or 13 oxen, nttuched them all
to a wiignu on which was placed n mini
ature design of the olj cupitol, under
which wus emblazoned iu largo lotters,
To Kandiyohi County." This vehicle
was drawn through Wubasha uud Third
streets, St. Paul, and while the people
did nut like it, they remained quiet un
til the governor had acted ou the bill.
In a few hours after the display the gov
ernor vetoed the measure. The Kandiyohi
boomers did not have two-thirds of the
legislature, and it wus impossible to pass
the bill over the veto. St. Paul's oele

The cocktail was the invontlon of
Colonel Cnrter of Culpeper Court House,
Va. Many years ago in that locality
there was a wayside inn named the
Cock and Bottle, the semblance of an
old English tavern, and which bore npon
its swinging sign a cock and bottle,
meaning thereby that druft and bottled
ale could be had within the "cock," in
old vernacular, meaning the tap. He,
therefore, who got the last and muddy
portion of the tup was said to have re
ceived the "cocktail."
Upon one occasion, when Colonel Car
ter was subjected to the indignity of
having this muddy beverage put before
him, he threw it angrily upon the floor
and exclaimed, ''Hereafter I will drink
cocktails of my own brewing," and then
and thcro, Inspired evidently by the
spirit of Ganymede, he dashed, together
bitters, sugar, the oil of lemon peel and
some old Holland gin, and thus and then
and there wus the original cocktail con
cocted. Philadelphia Times.
The Schoolboy and tho Inspector.
In an Edinburgh school tho other day
an inspector, wishing to test the knowl
edge of a class in fractions, asked one
boy whether be would rather take a
sixth or a seventh part of an orange if
he got his choice. The boy promptly re
plied that be would take the seventh.
At this the inspector explained at length
to the class that the boy who would
choose the smaller part as this boy bad
done because it looked the larger frac
tion was very foolish, but the laugh was
on the other side when the chirping
voice of another urchin broke in in re
monstrance, "Please, sir, but that boy
