Grand Jury Secrets
There has been much complaint of
late about the secret proceedings of
grand juries being made public, and in
his charge to the last grand jury Judgo
Lynch cautioned the jurors about the
matter. At first it was supposed that
some members of the jury had made
public the proceedings, put it now turns
out an eavesdropper was at work. To
ventilate the grand jury room it is nec
essary to open a large transom. A man
secreted himself in a closet nearby and
overheard things. An arrest will prob
ably follow.
Artillery and Balloons.
Some experiments with artillery fire
directed against a captive balloon have
been recently carried out in Germany
at tlie school of instruction at Alteu
Grobov. The balloon was allowed to
ascend to a height of 300 meters (984
feet), and fire was opened upon It at
a range of 4,800 meters (very nearly
5,000 yards). Sixty rounds were to
have been fired, but at tlie seventeenth
the balloon was struck, tbe envelope
was torn, and the gas ignited, the ear
falling to tbe ground.- London United
Service Gazette.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
A rtfttaii Parly.
The Philadelphia Record relates: "A
plgtuil party Mas given In his studio
the other lilglit b.v an artist from the
west. The arriving guests were very
curious to know what on earth this
sort of u party is. and they found it to
be one whereat the tails of pigs are
the main dish of the supper. As ac
cessories there were served, of course,
sauerkraut, sausages, cheese and pret
zels, but the delicious pigtails lorded
it easily over their neighbors. They
were fried, and each guest found he
could eat a dozen without difficulty.
'ln St. Louis,' the artist said, 'pigtails
are as common an article of food as
pigs' feet or beefsteak. Every butcher
has them on sale, and they cost about
20 cents a dozen. Here in the east they
seem to be uuknown. 1 had a great
deal of trouble to get these that you
are eating tonight aud bad to order
them two weeks in advance.' Several
men got the recipe for their cooking
and said they would leave' standing or
ders for pigtails with their butchers."
COIIQNII. EKKM uinl Ment.
The mother eodlish Is prolific, the roe
of a large one containing as many as
9,000,000 eggs. Nature seems to have
provided for a much larger supply of
cod than we are obtaining, but the
eggs, floating on the surface of the wa
ter to hatch, are destroyed by millions.
Codfish eat anything that comes along,
from tacks to sharks' teeth. In the
stomach of a large specimen vwo ducks
were found. The fish weigh as much
as 150 pounds, and the biggest are
four and a half feet in length. One
man lias caught 000 in a day of eleven
hours on the Newfoundland banks with
a hand line. Eighty men take on an
average of 1,000 a day on the Doggev
bank. Newfoundland is the headquar
ters for dried cod. Consul Carter, at
St. John's, says the quantity held there
before the present season opened was
35,840,000 pounds. The stock on band
a year before was 42,500,0000 pounds.—
New York Press.
I'll per That Stop* Bullets.
A series of interesting and In their
way almost unique firing trials has
been undertaken by the Swedish gov
ernment. The purpose of these experi
ments was to examine the effect of
shooting against pasteboard. The tri
als were conducted on the wharfs of
the Swedish navy in Carlserona, and
the target used was a prepared one of
millboard, against which fire from re
volvers, ritles, carbines and machine
guns was directed.
The pasteboard, which was three
inches thick, resisted completely the
bullets fired from the small arras, %it
was perforated by the projectiles from
the machine guns. The experiments
may be said to have given very inter
esting results. Bullets from the car
bines used are able to penetrate wood
en planks five inches In thickness, but
they could not penetrate the paste
board, which was only three Inches
thick.
fioKun Art Works In Paris.
In a recent Issue reference was made
to the trade in Paris In bogus pictures
and works of art generally. An exten
sive fraud has now come to light in
connection with tapestry for so called
antique furniture. The carving for
"original" seventeenth and eighteenth
century articles Is responsible for this.
The demand has far exceeded the sup
ply, and ingenious inventors of an un
scrupulous class have set about meet"
lug It. The antique, with all Its fade
and worn effects, has beeu so success
fully produced that even experts have
been deceived. At last the matter lias
become so flagrant that the police have
taken it In hand, and some arrests have
been made. In the meantime, bow
ever, a rich harvest lias been reaped,
for many an "amateur" of the antique
has his rooms furnished with these
bogus productions.—Paris Messenger.
Male Orarcri Dam a Hlver.
The biggest beaver dam ever seen in
Maine Is now attracting hundreds of
people to Caribou, on the Aroostodk riv
er. Two miles from the village the bea
vers have built a dam of logs and mud
250 feet long, turning the river back
upon the lowlands for a distance of
three miles and thus creating a great
lake. Trees a foot In diameter have
been cut down by the beavers, the
braucbes trimmed off and the trunks In
some mysterious manner brought to
the dam and submerged. The dam is
better than many on the river that
have been built by man, and the Cari
bou people are rather proud of It. Over
a thousand beavers have worked hard
on this Job for several months, and
they will be allowed to remain in pos
session all winter.—Lewtston (Me.)

A Wonderful Old Clock.
An Interesting exhibit at the Smith
sonian institution is an old German
clock that was ticking about fifteen
years before the birth of the great
American republic. It keeps good time
and Is 140 years old. It is made of
bard wood, and the work was all done
by band. Every piece of the mechan
ism Is highly polished, and it is put
together with liaml wrought rivets of
brass. The parts sliow very little
wear, and the timepiece is so care
fully constructed that it does not vary
a second in time during twenty-four
hours.—Philadelphia Telegraph.
The President'* Bnth.
Even the linotype can sometimes be
amusing. In a report of a speech at
the Mayflower descendants' banquet
in one of the best of the papers we
read recently that "Theodore Roose
velt took his simple bath to defend and
carry out our constitution." For "bath"
read "oath." O'.dy one letter wrong
Yet there Is no doubt whatever about
the simple bath being good for the
constitution.—New York Mail and Ex
press.

Tivo CtrntiluK Oriole*.
Do you want to know just the eun
ningost thing that ever two little birds
did? Let me tell you -because it's true.
The birds were beautiful orioles, and
you know the curious, pretty nests the
orioles make, swinging like a soft, gray,
silken bag from the high branch of
some elm tree.
Just three springs ago the orioles had
come to this grand old elm tree that
shaded the porch of a quiet farmhouse.
They had picked out the very branch
they wanted, and now they must hunt
for material to build their pretty home.
So they Hew about, chirping and call
ing and busily gathering stray threads
and moss when—oh, joy! What was
that beautiful, long, white, silky stuff
on the porch just under their elm tree
home? They flew down very cautious
ly. They flitted this way and that.
Dare they take some of it for their airy
home? One more peep—yes, grandpa
was sound asleep. There was no doubt
about it. Hut how should orioles know
that the long white whiskers belonged
to him? They ventured nearer; they
pulled one hair; they grew bolder and
pulled another. Two long, beautiful,
silky threads for their nest! They flew
off to the tree and then back for more.
Grandpa still slept. The little rogues
were having sucli a good time when
Aunt Lucy happened to spy them. She
laughed aloud, and of course that
frightened the birds,and grandpa woke.
Hut wait; Just hear the rest. Aunt
Lucy was so pleased at what the cute
little orioles had done that she deter
mined they should have all the pretty
threads of hair they wanted. So that
very afternoon she took some of Ma
ry's golden locks, a few more of grand
pa's and some of her own glossy black
hair and spread them on a bright cloth
on the porch. Then she warned the
family to keep very quiet and see what
happened, in les's than an hour the
orioles had taken every hair and car-
I rled it to their tree. Before many days
the pretty nest was done and the birds
were enjoying their new home.
In the fall, after the orioles had left
their elm tree home, Aunt Lucy had
| some one climb the tree and get the
nest, and there, so curiously woven In
to the lining, were the soft, white, gold
j en and black liahs.
! Aunt Lucy keeps the nest in her par
| lor and counts it as one of her greatest
treasures.—Hortha B. White In Prima
ry Education.
