From Acorns Into Oaks.
llow money grows, by rolling on itself
like a snowball, is very aptly illustrated
by the subjoined item from the Philadel
phi Ledger:
A preacher at Cortland, New York,
adopted a way—-not a new way, how
ever—of raising money. He bought $25
worth of nickels and distributed them
among the congregation. No person
could take more than one, and it was to
be invested in any way the possessor
might please.
The result was surprising. One little
girl put her nickel into eggs and cleared
$2 on the investment. A lady, who first
invested in cucumbers, by successfully re
investing her accumulated capital in
potatoes, soap and bread, came out with
a neat profit of $3.02. Four young
ladies formed a pool and with a joint
capital of 20 cents went into photo
graphs of the pastor, which they sold at
a profit of $17.35. Many other members
of the church invested their nickels in
various ways with like success, ami the
neat sum of $375.82 was realized from
this ingenious idea.

when fired for the third time, on the
United States ship Princeton, on the

State; Mr. Gilmer, recently placed at
the head of the navy; Commodore
Kennon, one of its gallant officers;
Virgil Maxey, lately returned from a
diplomatic residence at The Hague;
Mr. Gardner, of New York (formerly
member of the Senate of the State),
were killed. Besides these seventeen
seamen wero iniui'ed.

lYilil Hearts in India.
Every country on the globe has its
own special curse. Wild beasts are tho
curse of India. They destroy on an
average about twenty-live thousand per
sons a year, most of whom are killed by
the bite or tho hug of snakes. Tho
British governments in India, which pay
rewards for the slaying of wild beasts,
keep also exact accounts of their depre
dations, which are published from time
to time in the newspapers. The Lon-
ton Times summarizes the last report
thus:
"During the year, twenty-two thous
and one hundred and thirty-four per
sons were killed by snakes, nine hun
dred and twenty-eight by tigers, two
hundred and twenty-two by wolves,
one hundred and ninety-four by leop
ards, one hundred and thirteen by
bears, fifty-seven by elephants, twenty
four by hyenas, and eleven hundred
and sixty-nine by other animals, includ
ing scorpions, jackals, lizards, boars,
crocodiles, buffaloes, mad dogs and
foxes.
"In the same year nearly sixty thous
and domestic animals were destroyed
by wild animals, but in this case'the
proportions are quite different, for
while the snakes were responsible for
the death of eleven-twelfths of the
every fifty-seven animals, tigers ar
leopards doing the greatest damage.
"In the case both of human beings
and wimals, the destruction appears
to be on tho increase; in the former
case, the number is higher than any
one of the previous ten years, and in
the latter it is third in ten years in
point of numbers killed.
"At the same time, the numbers of
wild beasts killed and the rewards paid
for that purpose are increasing. In 188(5
twenty-two thousand wild beasts were
destroyed, and four hundred and seven
teen thousand snakes. Among the wild
beasts were nearly seven thousand
wolves, four thousand leopards, about
fifteen hundred each of tigers, bears
and hyenas and seven elephants.-
India contains a population of two
hundred and seventy millions of people,
and it seems surprising tha the wild
beasts can hold their own rgainst such
a multitude; but, in fact, a large por
tion of tlio terrritory is covered with
dense growths of forest of bamboo,
scarcely penetrable by man, in which
huge snakes and savage tigers anil
other beasts, And themselves perfectly
at home.
Besides, it is not every man that
dares face a tiger, a wild elephant, or a
boa constrictor; nor can the Indian vil
lagers in remote places command the
weapons which make the conflict equal
between men and savage animals.
The people there are effeminated by
the warm climate, and are kept ex
tremely poor by the various tax-gather
ers who prey upon them. Two hun
dred and seventy million people of our
hunting race would soon do for India
what Saint Patrick is said to have done
for Ireland.

HESTER ANN SCOOPEH.
The Kestrel's Keenness of Vision.
Wonderful is the keenness of vision
which enables the bird, when itself
ippearing little more than a mere speck
ill the sky, to detect the tiny, crawling
mouse, whose sober tints hurmonizc so
well with those of the ground and the
herbage around it. Take a mouse and
let it loose in a field of stubble, and,
once having lost sight of it, one finds it
almost impossible to discover it again.
It is so small, so sombre of hue, and
moves with such quiet stealth, that there
is nothing to attract the eye, and one
cannot see it, very often, even while
gazing directly upon it. Hut never does
it escape the notice of the kestrel. That
wonderful sight, telescopic in its pene
tration, and microscopic in its perfection,
detects the smallest insect which creeps
upon the ground, and the mouse which
ventures from its hole while its vigilant
enemy is watching above, is surely ami
certainly doomed.
A Little Curious to Know.
A farmer read in an agricultural
journal: "Aside window in a stable
makes a horse's eyes weak 011 that side:
a window in front hurts his eyes by the
glare; a window behind makes him
squint-eyed; a window on a diagonal
line makes him shy when he travels,
and a stable without windows makes
him blind."
The farmer has written to the editor
of the agricultural paper asking what
effect a window without a stable would
have on his horse's eves.

rhe conversation turned upon the re
ent "conversion" of the Pennsyl

Just then the well-known figure of

which both Randall and Butler were

! The Turtle Grow# Better s l
Grows Old.
Like wine and whisky, the turtle im
proves with age. One of the delicacies
at a recent dinner at Windsor Castle
was a turtle which had reached the
advanced age of 100 years. Notwith
standing its antiquity its flesh was
sweet and tender. It was captured by
a British cruiser near Ascension Island,
and so thoroughly did her Majesty en- I
joy the soup and steaks provided by j
the venerable crustacean that she lias
sent the cruiser off again for a fresh
supply. It must travel several thou
saiul miles in order to obey her com
mands. The turtle is probably the 1
only edible tluC grows better with i
years. Age does not really improve
fowls, game and meats, although the
restaurants sometimes appear to be
lieve that it does. A spring chicken,
instead of being tender and palatable,
like the turtle, at 100, is often tough
and unwholesome at ten or twenty.
The same is true of other birds and
animals, and it is botto* to nrrvdhem 1
up for the table before they have
reached the age of the Queen's favor- 1

"Your comments seem rough,but the facta are still rougher.
For nobody knows how acutely I suffer.
I am sick unto death and well ni>rh desperation.
With female disorders and nervous prostration,
And life hardly seems worth tbe trouble of" breathing."
