First, the lovely dears were beheaded.
Then they were ripped open about
where their clavicles would have been if
the dell-makers hadn’t left tlio clavicles
out of the darlings. When they wore

from shoulder to shoulder, they were
emptied of what would have been their

Mr. William Hockett was going to
emigrate to America. He was going to
open a toy shop and alaoe shop in tlio
United States, and make his fortune,
lie had put his means, the gatherings
and savings of thirty years of work and
economy, into tine laeos,
* . * * * * * * .
When the Custom House officials
boarded the incoming steamer, Mr.
Hiu-kett, without hesitation, reported his
dolls and toys, and shod by while bis
wares were rummaged so roughly that
Master Hockett, also standing by,
thought that some of tlm doll-hoods
must surely burst open and let out their
secrets. Hut the investigation ended
without any cracked skulls; duty was
paid on 111. dolls, while the laces passed
ill free.
The Hai-ketts, in good humor, took
room a, and again the dnlls were behead
ed, disemboweled, and reconstructed.
The laces were worked over and curded ;
a tov-uhop was opened, and Master
Uaekett, instead of going off to tight tlio
Indians and to get scalped, was set. to
keep it, while Miss Hockett presided
over tlu 1 loee shop. Yon and I know

llnekett soon fouu,l himself back in
London, ready to bring out another

some tilings had happened among oth

having rescued the other parts, lu r liana
plunged and brought up the head.
Dripping Honiton lace was hanging
from it. “ Did anybody ever V contin
ued tuuminu, pulling at the lace, and
drawing out yard after yard.
Further investigation followed; dolly
was dissected, anil a marvelous anatomi
cal structure was revealed. You see
how it was, do you not? It was one of
the Uaekett dolls which, by mistake,
did not get its lace insides taken out, on
its arrival in America.
Of course, the matter couldn't lie kept,
out of the papers ; it wnt published far
anil wide. I prestimo you read an ac
count of it. Home custom house offi
cers did, and the Hackotts did not. They
took a London paper, setting it down
that American newapapers were sen
sational and unreliable. Tbo custom
house folks bud their explanation about
the lacc-Htuffeil doll ; tlio lace was smug
gled luce. They wrote it down on tlu ir
memory’s tablets, “ Bewaro of dolls?”
Mr. llsckett was coming in on a second
venture while this inscription was fresh
on the tablets.
When his dolls worn exposed for in
spection, the investigutor took one in
bis hand. It was a beautiful creature,
with long Hnxon curls, black eyes,
bright cheeks and a rose-buil mouth.
There is surely not a little girl in all the
w orld who conjil huvo In iked at it
without a flutter. What do you think
that, hard-hearted officer did? He
took the head in his right hand, the
bright face against his great palm,
while the left grasped the darling just
over the little heart, if there had been a
heart in its body. Ho laid the neck
across tlio box's edge and broke the
pretty head off, so that it would huvo
bothered Master Duckett, expert that lio
was, to reconstruct that dull.
Doubtless there never was another
lot of dolls that paid a higher fee than
Mr. Haekett's for admission into our
country, -A?. Nicholas,
The Kitten'* It inner.
Two little girls, the older not yet 5
years of age, hud a present of a kitten
f ile other day.
It was the first time in all their little
lives that a eat of any age hud rverheen
in the hi .use, and they were as delighted
as possible, and as full of wonder over
all its ways and doings as if it had been
a rare animal from some foreign land.
“ What shall kitty have for her din
ner, mamma?” asked Lulu, climbing
down from her high chair when dinner
was over.
“Oh, you can fix her up something
on a plate,” replied mamma, hastily, as
she went into the sitting room, tor she
was very busy with tjome sewing, and
forgot that her little girls knew nothing
nbi ut feeding kittens.
Five minutes later Hridgct poked her
head in at the door.
“ I’lnze, teem, do jist come out and
see thim childer.”
Mamma dropped tier sewing anil fol
lowed Hridgct. On the lloor behind the
kitchen stove sat Lulu and Ella, either
side of a large dinner-plate, by which
stood the kitten, as if pu/./.led w liat to do
about it.
And what do you suppose those two
little dunces laid put on Hie plate for
that kitten to eat ?
Well, there was a large slice of wheat
bread mid butter, a generous spoonful
of eider applc-saucc, a pickle, and a
huge pile of plum-pudding fairly
drowned with sauce.
Mamma laughed, kit-tv rail under the
stove, and the little girls both cried lie
cause kitty would not cut the nice dinner
they had fixed for her.
lint llridget went and got hern saucer
of warm milk, and tlio children forgot
all their trouble in seeing her lap it up.
Killing Snakes tor a Living.
There resides at. til is place a celebrated
hunter, triqqicr and snake-tnmer, by the
niuno.of Jiinii Geer. He is married, and
has a family of children. I hiring the
winter months Geer earns a living by’
hunting birds and trapping foxes, bears
and other animals, for which Ibis region
is noted. His summers are spent in
entehiug rattlesnakes, which are very
numerous around Basket. Geer knows
where there nre several rattlesnake dens,
mid he frequently \isits them with as
much unconcern as though he was going
on a whortleberry expedition. Holms a
dog that usually oocompanies him to the
mountain when mi a rattlesnake limit,
which, by long practice, has acquired as
great skill in dispatching the reptiles as
tlie hunter and trapper himself.
While bunting and trapping pays,
Geer says he can make far more money
by killing rattlesnakes and selling the
oil. He always carries a orotehod stick.
When he comes upon a snake, he care
fully places the crotch over the reptile's
neck, just back of the head Then, if
he desires to keep the snake nlive, lie re
moves the poison by the aid of instru
ments mode for the purpose. But he
seldom keeps the snake alive, but kills
them, and Ims s regular process for ex
tracting the oil from their bodies. This
oil is very valuable, and sells readily for
one dollar jxir ounce. It is said to nave
great curative powers. Geer says the
preseut Ims been an exceedingly good
year far snakes, and that be bus kill.nl
nearly a hundred during the past three
montliH. He claims that he onn make a
gis>il living at the snake business. He is
not afraid of the reptiles, and asserts
tlmt he can cure their bites without fail.

Tlie Death-Stroke.
Sometime in the latter part of May,
Bays the LcadviJle Chronicle, Mr. Uarnp
hcll left Leadville tor the Eagle Itiver
mining district. He was well outfitted,
having u pony, rifle, and the necessary
griih to keep him supplied for some weeks.
The first mishap that befell Mr. Camp
bell was caused by his pony. He was
leading the animal by a ro|>e, when the
pony became frightened and started on
it run. Mr. Campbell In lil the rope in
such a manner tnat it lieeamo tangled
around luh finger, from which lie could
not release it. The result was tlmt when
the |>ony freed himself ho carried along
with him the little finger that had once
been ii valuable member of tlie gentle
man’s band. He hastened to the nearest
doctor, who amputated the stump of the
finger. Pursuing his way in search of
the precious metals, he was not long in
meeting with another adventure that
compelled him to return to Leadville.
After prospecting for some days on tlio
Engl- Itiver, and going some distance
from all other prospectors, ho struck in
dications and went into camp. For sev
eral days lie worked at some claims he
thought of locating if they panned out as
he was led to believe from surface indi
cations. On the morning of the fifth
(lay ho startl'd in flirt direction of his
claim, intending to lie gone but a few
minutes, and taking no weapon with him
except his hatchet, which he hud belted
to him. He lmd gone hut a few rods
when he was somewhat startled to see be
fore him a hear. The bear, apparently,
paid no attention to him, anil he decided
to beat a lmstv retreat. Scarcely had he
started on his backward march than the
bear started for him. The gentleman
increased his speed and so did Bruin.
There were no trees convenient, anil it
looked for a minute very dubious. Tlie
hear raised on its bind feet anil prepared
for a friendly embrace. There was noth
ing for Campbell to do but fight it out,
and lie awaited Mr. Bear’s coming with
his hatchet, ready for close work. The
bear reached him, and they struck
simultaneously. Campbell struck the
bear between the eyes with the hatchet,
and the bear struck Campbell on the
head. Ho remembers nothing more for
some hours, although it was evident
from his wounds that Bruin played
with him for a second or two after ho
was down. When he came to he found
that lie was tlie, only living occupant ot
the field, the bear lying some feet dis
tant with his head split upon. Making
his way painfully to cam]) —the journey
of a few hundred yards occupying sev
eral hours he doctored himself as well
as ho could, lie was so badly injured
that bis only wish was to die as soon ns
possible. Tlie evening of the day suc
ceeding his encounter lie was found by a
couple of prospectors. They took care
of him for several days, anil kindly as
sisted him back to the nearest camp.
Here they left him, and for many days
lie was considered “as good’’ ns deal.
He finally recovered sufficiently to stand
a journey to this camp, hut it will lie
about next summer before ho will bo
enabled to prospect again.
Boy Inventors.
Some of the most inqiortant inventions
have been the work of mere boys. Tlio
invention of the valve motion to tlio
steam engine was made by a mere boy.
Watts left the engine in a very incom
plete condition, from the fact that ho had
no way to open or close the valves, ex
cept by means of leavers operated b v the
hand. He set up a large engine at one
of the nijni'S, and a boy was hired to
work these valve level's; although this
whs not lmnl work, yet it required his
constant attention. As ho was working
these levers, ho saw that parts of
the engine moved in the right di
rection, and at the exact timo that
he lmd to open or close the valves,
lie procured a strong cord and made ono
etui fast to the proper part of the engine,
and the other end to the valve lever; the
Imy lmd the satisfaction of seeing the en
gine move oil’with perfect regularity of
motion. A short time alter the foreman
eatno around and smv the boy playing
marbles at the door. Looking at the en
gine he sikhi saw the ingenuity of the
boy, and also the advantages of so great
mi invention. Mr. Watts then carried
out the boy’s inventive genius in a prac
tieal form, and made tlio steam engine a'
perb of automatic working machine.
The power-loom is tlie invention of a
farmer boy who had never seen or heard
of sueli a tiling. He whittled one out
with his jaek-kuife, and after he had got
it all done, he, with great enthusiasm,
showed it to his father, who at once
kicked it pieces, saying lie would have
no boy about him that would spend iiis
time on sin'll foolish things. The boy
was delighted at the idea of learning a
trinle, and ho soon found that his new
master was kind and took a lively inter
est in him. He hud made n loom of what
was left of one his father lmd broken up,
which he showed to his master. The
blacksmith saw he had no common boy
as un apprentice, and that the invention
was a very valuable one. 110 imme
diately had a loom constructed under the
supervision of the hoy; it worked to their
perfect satisfaction, and the blacksmith
furnished the means to manufacture the
looms, the boy to receive one-liulf the
profits. In about a year the blacksmith
wrote to the boy’s father that he should
bring with him a wealthy gentleman who
was tlu l inventor of the celebrated power
loom. You may be able to judge of the
astonishment at the old home when his
si'ii was presented to him as the inventor,
who told him that his loom was the same
as the model that he lmd kicked to pte€M
but a veur before.— Western Trade. -

Anna Dickinson’s new play is thought
by competent critics to have in it the ele

comedy of good society of the present

leading female part, and it is a part that
will tax the capabilities of a good actress.
Two of the people are business men, one
is a journalist, and one is a doctor.
There are only eight characters in the

deal of a drama and has a sorious mo

mid intensity of gravity are affected per
ceptibly by the presence of hills such as
Bchichallion anil Arthur’s Beat, or even j
by mosses ns small as tlio great pyramid [
of Giseh, gigantic mountains such as the ;
Himalayas, and great elevated plateaux
and table-lands, do not affect tlie
pendulum indications ill any sensible
manner, except in certain coses where
njsm elevated continents there appears
to l>ea veritable defeet of attraction instead
of the excess which might he expected.
Indeed, the observations are sufficiently
striking to seem to point to the supposi
tion that not only under every great
mountain, but even under the whole of
every large continent, there were enor
mous cavities. More than this, the at
traction at the surface of all the great
oceans appear too great to agree with the
distribution presumod by Clairant’s
formula, which is exact enough for most
purposes. Bir G. Airy's suggestion that
the base of the Himalaya range reaches
down into tlio denser liquid interior, and
there displaces a certain amount of that
liquid, so that the exterior attraction is
thereby lessened, is one which, inherently
improbable, fails to have any application
in explaining why the attraction above
the seas should be greater than over the
continents. M. Fayo propounds the fol
lowing solution to tlie difficulty: Under
the oceans the globe cools more rapidly
and to a greater depth than beneath the
surface of the continents. At a depth of
4,000 meters (13,000 feet) the ocean will
still have a temperature not remote from
0 degree C., while at a similar depth
beneath the earth’s crust the temperature
would lie not far from 150 degrees G.
(allowing 108 feot in depth down for an in
crease of one decree in the internal tem
perature). If the earth had but one
uniform rate of cooling all over it, it
would be reasonable to assume that the
solidified crust would have the same
thickness and the same average density
all over it. It is therefore argued that
below tlie primitive oceans the earth’s
crust assumed a definite solid thickness
before the continents, and that in con
tracting, these thicker portions exercised
pressure upon the fluid nucleus tending to
elevate still further the continents. This
hypothesis, M. Faye thinks, will, more
over, explain the unequal distribution of
land and sea around the two poles, the
general rise and fall of continents being
determined by the excess of density of
the crust below the oceans, and by the
line or points of least resistance to in
ternal pressure being at the middle con
tinents or at the margin of oceans.
