Just a few samples will serve to show that she has; in soother form, the same trouble that made Mrs, Partington so in- teresting. The Detroit woman on the sunny side of 40 is handsome, kind heart. ed and lisps, but the application of com- mon sayings is to her as a sealed book. She looked out the front door and ex- cited'y called to her husband: "My, Tom, But it's a lovely night. Just as clear as a doornail." One day she received some callers while it was storming. "Nasty, isn't it? How unfortunate for you. But beggars can't be choosers." A bachelor uncle, from whom she had great expectations, paid her a visit. He has convivial habits and an incandescent nose. He was expatiating on some of his secret charities, and she was congratulat- ing him on so letting his light shine be- fore men, when he abruptly left and sent word the next week that be had changed his will. She replied chiding bim gently, and closed with, "But let us remember, uncle, that a fool and his money are soon ted, and that other Scriptural teach- g. that no rich man can go through the e of a needle." doctor was treating her for neural gia. She objected to the strength of the medicine and added plaintively, "But all the world loves a lover, doctor." When the cook broke a costly platter, the little woman assured the tearful of- fender that ail is not gold that glitters, When her husband told ber of a loss through an nofortunate investment, she threw her arms about his peck and con- soled him with the assarance that the proof of the podding is in the eating. She thanked her minister for a pastoral call by telling him that fools rush in where angels fear to tread, and, in writ ing an excuse for her little boy's absence from school, worked in the sentiment that there is »~ frol like an old fool. A Walking Fern, There is a fern which, by its peculiar habit of growth, may almost just lay claim to the popular name of the "walk- ing fern." The fronds arch over, and the fine, slender points coming in contact with the soil take root. New growth again pro- ceeds from the latter, which, in its turn, roots also, so that the locale of the plant ix continually moving forward and sug- gesting the idea of walking. This peculiar fern is quite hardy and succeeds well in a soil of peat, leaf mold and sand, in a shady position which is moist in summer and fairly dry in win- ter. The fronds are beart shaped, bright green In color, 6 to 12 inches long. Willie's Logie. - Willle--Pa, ma says you're the bead of the house.

The country is divided into cen- sus districts coinciding as far as far as possible with the electorial districts, and polliug sub-divisions, according to the boundaries adopted for the purpose at the last general election, are taken as units of en umeration.

The work of the enumerators will begin on Monday, April 1, and in the great majority of polling sub- Sivisions it is expected that it will be completed in a fortnight.

"1 carry a large stock of cigars, and I have on my shelves over 50 different brands of cigars which sell wholesale for $35 a thousand and retail for § cents. I have over 25 different brands of 10 spectively. "This is an appetizing array to the pro- fessional smoker and affords an almost unlimited choice. The launching of a mew brand of cigars upon the market is an expensive undertaking and one which | is attended with more or less risk. It takes. a lot of capital, because cigars, and new brards of smoking tobacco, for that matter, require a lot of persistent | and costly advertising. The maker must = his new buyers to give up some other brand for his, and in order to ac not, back to his old favorite. Men will swear by a certain brand for six months and then abandon it forever for another in a day. The dealer, if he is interested in introducing a new brand, will coax a cus- tomer to 'try' it, but the main reliance is in advertising and in putting up a good grade of tobacco for the price. The maintaining of the same grade year in and year out, however, is another mat- ter, and I have seen the demand for a popular brand fall off right away as soon as an inferior tobacco is used A smoker will say concerning it: "That's no good now. Give me another brand.' "A happy choice of name has a great | deal to do with the success of a cigar, and it is for this reason that makers use the names of popular stage favorites, statesmen and others. Sometimes a new brand will not take at all, and the makers retire it or substitute another name. Others catch popular fancy at once, and enormous sales are made from the start. Certain cigars sell well '» we "tv and not at all in another." HUNTING THE COON. The Excitement Comes After the Lively Animal is Treed. "Did you ever go on a coon hunt¥" said a resident of Richmond at the Fifth Avenue hotel the other day. "It's reaily very exciting and well worth trying. You bunt them after dark. and the 'coon in variably covers a good stretch of terri tory before being compelled to take to a tree. It is almost half an hour to an hour from the time the coon is first start- ed to the time he is compelled to take to the tree. The dogs go off on the coon's trail, and you follow after as fast as possible. "When the pace gets too hot, the coon takes to the highest tree he can find, and the dogs see that he stays there until the hunters come up. Usually the coon is at the top of the highest tree in that part of the country, and up it a mountaineer promptly climbs, with the speed and agility of his simian ancestor. If he can get at the coon. the coon usually finds it out first and, transforming himself iato a parachute, sets sail for the earth beneath I'll bet even money you can chuck a coon off the top of the highest building, and he'll alight on the ground unhurt. Neo matter how high the tree, he invariably lands safely. "After he strikes earth, however, it is different. There is at once a mixture of growls, snarls and short barks, and then ensues as fast and game a fight as one could wish to see. When it is over what is left of the coon is hung on the end of a stick, and the party goes off after another one or home, as the case may be. Sometimes, thourh, the coon will get out on a limb where 2 man dares not follow him, and then the tree has te be chopped down. Then it's about an even chance that the coon may get iato another tree before be can be killed. "When the coon is treed, it's a weird sight. There you all are in the center of 1 woodland, the dark of night lighted only by the pine torches carried by the party. The negroes are grouped around, their glistening eyes turned upward in the at tempt to catch a first glimpse of his coon- ship. The yelping circle of dogs at the tree's base completes the picture. It's mighty good sport, coon hunting, sod if it comes your vv * "hould advise you to take it in." Not a Good Place to Tie a Dog. A countryman who was walking along Broad street the other morning is won- dering 'Whether or not he can tue the Southern railway on account of damages to a cur dog which some one had just given him. The man stopped to talk to a friend while the gates were closed to allow a train to pass the Broad street He tied his dog to the end of the railroad gate while he walked off to get a drink When he returned a few minutes later. the gates had been raised and his dog was hanging 40 feet in the air at the end of the swing gate, in the last throes of death. The man tried to make the gateman understand what was the matter, but didn't succeed until he pulled him out of his box and showed him the dog hanging at the end of his rope. The dog was past resuscitation when be was finally lowered to the ground, and the countryman wanted "» fist the gate t They Dont neglect yoar kidmers. ys é expeciment on You.
