Wayside Gatherings. The qua!ity of t.-iha. c<> crop grown this ear h inferior to that of last year. Nearly every passenger iti a sleeping car sn the Baltimore an 1 Potomac Railroad was *obbed by a sneak thief, the losses aggrega ting $7,000. It was calculated in England some time •go that not one book in 1,810 goes through < second edition, and not one in many thou sands a third. An old man in New Orleans has in his bedroom 500 spiders of every size, color, and species, and the ceiling is a network of webbs. Spiders are his hobby. Drunkenness is spreading so much in Germany that anew measure for its punish ment and prevention is being prepared for presentation to the Imperial Parliament. A North Carolinian who kissed a woman against her consent wassentenced to a months imprisonment, and all the women in the State want the law that punished him repealed. In the last week of October the wrecks in Europe were almost unprecedented in num ber. I'lie approximate value of the property lost is put at $20,000,000 of which $15,000,- 000 was British. Mr. and Mrs. Smith Hayden of Marshall, Texas, quarrelled about the doctrine of bap tism on getting home from church, where they had heard it preached about, and the wife in her passion struck the husband a fatal blow with an axe. A lady who had heard a vigorous charity sermon, and yet had given nothing when the contribution box was passed around, had her pocket picked while she was going out of church. On making the discovery she re marked : “Go i could not find the way to my pockfit, but the devil did.” A young Australian whose affianced broke off their engagement wrote for “ that lock of hair” she had given him. In a day or two she got a bundle of different locks and a note saying that he really could not remember which was hers, but hoped she would choose for herself and send back the remainder. Lead mining is at so low an ebb in Eng land that an appeal is being made to lead ing mine owners to reduce the royalty. The lead mines are chiefly in Cumberland, and the men employed are conspicuous for good character and cpiiet industry. Many carry on small farms in addition to their work in the mines. Mrs. Brady has just got a verdict for SI,OOO —she claimed sls 000—from the city of Cleveland. She swore that she stepped into a hole of twelfth street and severely hurt her self. The defence proved the hole to be only 3 inches by 12. The jury doubted. Her counsel measured her foot in court. It was inches wide and not over 8 long in the shoe. Hence the verdict. A Michigan boy ate a bar of soap on a wager and then drank a lot of soda to take the taste out of his mouth, and the way he spouted suds and soap bubbles for the next half hour baffled the skill of fourteen doctors, who madly performed about him, not having been informed of the cause of the lad’s suf fering. They are all at loggerheads now about what to call tbe case. Callalmn killed Tourney by striking him with a ei.ib and stabbing him at Wooster, Ohio. John McSweeny, a noted western criminal lawyer, made the speech to the jury for the prosecution. In front of the orator on a table lay the club and knife which the mur derer had used, also a pumpkin and a paving stone. When he described the manuer of the crime he illustrated the blows by' whacking the stone with all his might, and the stabs by plunging the knife into the pumpkin. The reporters say that the effect was not ludicrous, as might be imagined, but excited the audi ence so much that they hooted and groaned at the prisoner. The verdict was “ Guilty, *’ and Callahan is now under sentence of death. A young man in Blair county, Pennsylva nia, has discovered an ingenious and success ful way to capture squirrels, dead or alive, without either gun or ammunition. Mis out fit consists of a set of climbers, such as are used by telegraph repairers, a sheath knife, a pack of lire crackers, box of matches and a dog. The dog holds the game. The young man puts on his climbers, and goes up to the hole in the tree, lights a fire_cracker and drops it into the hole. When it explodes the fright ened squirrel rushes out into a bag held over the hole, or if lie wishes to kill it he strikes its head oif with the sheath knife; if he misses, the dog soon finishes it. By this novel contrivance he often brings in from ten to twenty squirrels a day. Large game is cap tured in the same way. Andrew Gugel informed a neighbor at Dansville, N. Y., that his mother had fallen into a cistern and was drowned. The neigh bor said they ought to get her out at once because she might be rescusitated, but Andrew replied that it, was too late, as she was surely dead. She was rescued, however, and when she began to revive Andrew remarked that he shouldn't wonder if she accused him of pushing her in. He was right, for she made the charge with the first breath she could command. He had induced her to stcop over the cistern to remove some leaves, and then tumbled her into the water, unloosing her hands when she grasped the sides for support, and finally lotting her on the head with a stick to quiet her. She had a few hundred dollars which he was impatient to inherit. The Voltaic Bell Cos., Marshall, Mich.
