THE COWBOY ON ROLLER-SKATES.
I am more used to riding on horseback,
and as soon as I straddled the layout 1
was wishing 1 had a buck rein, because I
expected them to stiffen their knees and
go to bucking, but they didn't.
"I walked them over to the other end
of the corral to gentle ’em a little, and
directly they started off at an easy canter
and was coming around back right
through the herd, and there was a dude
there with a stiff hat who was trying to
cut out a polled Angus heifer in a blue
dress, and I fouled, roped both my bind
legs in a hoopskirt, and it had me
stretched out, ready for branding, quick -
'rn a spring calf can bawl with his mouth
open and his lungs stretched.
"But I got up and ou again, and you
ought to see uie exercise them vehicles.
“Ofcourse they'd buck when I tried
to stop ’em, and they would rear up and
fall back when 1 tried to stop ’em too
quick; but I’ll leave it to the boss herder
of the whole lot if 1 didn't gallop ’em
around there for three or four hours and
bad ’em roll over and over with me, and
didn’t get me off."

LIVING GUNS.
Some Experiments with the Insect Dy
namiters.
“Come around to my place to-night,’’
said a scientist ts the writer, “and I’ll
show you the latest thing in dynamite.
The latter was on hand at the time ap
pointed and found around a table a dozen
or more faces more or less familiar in the
world of biology. In the centre of the
table were a number of boxes of various
sizes, a dish containing a substance that
looked suspiciously like water and several
other articles of an innocent and unexplo
sive character.
“Don’t sit in that chair,” exclaimed
some one as the writer was about to pull
up. “There’s a current of electricity
going into it strong and powerful enough
to kill an ox.”
“Take the lounge,” said the host,
“that is if you don’t mind snakes.” The
writer did, especially as the one upon the
lounge was a python, a! out ten feet in
length, brought in to be experimented
upon.
“He’s harmless,”said the first speaker
“l chloroformed him half an hour ago. ”
A chair was finally found and the
meeting was called to order and the
members proceeded to business.
VEGETABLE BOMBS.
“Speaking about dynamite,” said a
naturalist, “I have brought a few speci
mens to illustrate that feature in low life
—as there are dynamiters in the lower
animal kingdom as well as in the higher,
and curiously enough, we might say the
same of the vegetable kingdom. I re
member a few years ago I was traveling
on a small vessel between somo of the
West India islands, and at one place had
purchase 1 a number of curious seeds,
placing them under my berth for safe
keeping. I was sitting at the small table
hanging on with both hands in company
with a negro passenger, when there came
an explosion that sounded as if a barrel
of powder bad gone off. Something
whizzed by my face so closely that I felt
the wind and another projectile struck
me full in the breast. The negro was
not so fortunate. He uttergd a loud yell
as the sound came, threw up his hands
and with the blood spurting from his
face he went over backwards with a
crash that brought the skipper and crew
down the batch in a hurry. We picked
him up and first he swore that 1 had sho*
him and then that I hud hit him with a
club, but in a moment he recovered from
his fright and we began to investigate.
“The man had been struck fairly in the
nose—a blow so powerful that it was
several hours before tha hemorrhage
could be stopped- When I rose from my
scat something dropped upon the cabin
floor and I afterwards picked it up —and
what do you suppose it was? Nothing
but a section of one of the seeds, and
they were the explosives. The heat of
the cabin had in some way affected them
no that they went off like cartridges and
as each was made up of several pieces it
had somewhat the effect of grape shot.
Ono struck the negro as related, another
missed my head and shattered a looking
glass behind me, another struck mo in
the chest, while still another, curiously
enough, took off tho handle of a pitcher
or monkey cooler that stood on the table.
Four of tho seeds didn’t go off, and you
may be aure 1 put them in a strong box.
A number of seeds," continued the
speaker, "have a similar habit of explod
ing, and it is generally a provision con
nected with the dispersal of seeds. In
the west I have heard trees explode with
a report that could bs hoard nearly n
mile; in this case the frost was the cause.
There certain insects bore groat holes in
tho bark of trees, rain finds its way in
and freezes, and aw»y goes the tree, as if
you had placed a torpedo in it, showing
what the expansive power of water will
do.
INSECT DYNAMITERS.
"Speaking of insects,” said the host,
“reminds me that I have a dynamiter
here for exhibition whenever you gentle
men are ready." All were ready, and the
table was cleared of the boxes except one
which was placed in the centre. “I pro
pose, gentlemen,” said the dynamite
fiend, “to show not only an explosive in
sect, but the effect of the explosion upon
others who might possibly be enemies.”
Upon this he lifted a elide that was at
tached to the box and immediately there
appeared several medium-sized sprightly
beetles that started off around the table
in an active go-as-you-please race. An
enclosure was soon formed of books, and
•II the beetles removed but one, and then
a beetle of a different species was intro
duced; a wild, fiery, untamed fellow that
ran over the other at headlong speed.
The smaller beetle at first did not seem
to notice this treatment, but finally,
when it was fairly knocks ! over, it seem
ed to prepare itself to resent further at
tacks. It raised itself high upon its legs,
shook its wing covers nervously, and, as
tho larger insect came around the ring on
a dead run, it turned suddenly, unlimber
ed itself, so to speak, and, as the enemy
approached, an audible report was heard,
a cloud fora moment hung in tho airland
the largebeetle fell sprawling in its tracks,
and with spasmodic struggles endeavored
to back away from the living cannon.
The latter still retained its offensive
position, and upon being touched with a
pencil again ejected, twice in quick suc
cession, a volatile fluid that gave out a
decided pungent odor that was evidently
suffocating to the larger beetle. A mouse
was now inttoduoed, and as it ran by the
dynamite insect it received a discharge
that caused it to squeal with pain, and
with a convulsive action it reared itself
upon its hind legs and for a tew seconds
struggled as if in a fit. A kitten sub
jected to a like discharge spit and rubbed
her nose in rage and fear; and finally, af
ter several other discharges, the supply
of ammunition seemed to give out.
"There’s protection for you," said the
delighted owner, taking up the dynamite
bug, which was rather long and narrow,
having a curious general appearance from
the fact that the head and thorax were
narrower than the abdomen. "I ca 1 it
Rossabecause it makes a disturbance, and
everything boil and ferment, but in reality
does no harm. The beetle,’ ’ he contin
ued, “was brought from China, by a
friend of mine, or, I should say, he sent
me a dozen or so of the larvae and I
hatched them out in my insect case. It
is very common in China and Japan and
various parts of the east, and some spe
cies in South America. The scientific
name is Brachiuidoe—that is, that’s the
family name—but they generally go by
the name of the bombardier beetle, from
their hatit of bombarding all intruders
at short notice. The explosive in this
case is a volatile fluid secreted in tho
posterior portion of the body, which the
insect has the power of ejecting with such
force that it is felt several inches away,
and forming, fora moment, a cloud as it
were of smoke. To very small animals
this may be fatal, and to larger forms i ’•
quite sufficient to stop their progress in a
given direction. It stings and burns the
human flesh for several moments and
stains it so that the marks are visible for
several days.
A traveler’s experience.
“To show the power of the explosive
as a force, I have placed a beetle three
inches under water and the force of the
explosion would make the water boil all
about. Experiments tried in hot water
showed that the latter effervesced. To
the human nostril the odor resembles
that of muriatic acid and is extremely ir
ritating. If any one wishes to try it in
the interests of science 1 have another
beetle all loaded,” —but there were no
martyrs present. Nearly all the beetles
of this family have this peculiar method
of defense, and in some localities the
odor and effect is much worse than in
others. Burchard, the well-known trav
eler, had a curious experience. With a
party of natives he started out one even
ing to make some astronomical observa
tions, when his attention was attracted
by great numbers of beetles running
about upon tho shore. Being a natural
ist, he directed his men to catch some
which they proceeded to do; but the mo
ment. the insects were touched they faced
about and sent such an irrigating dis
charge upon the hands of the men that
they dropped them bowling with fear and
pain. So painful was the discharge that
only a few of the insects were caught. It
was noticed that at the time of the ex
plosion a white, semi-luminous cloud ap
peared in the air.
“Here,” said the insect man, taking
up the dish of water, “is another living
gun,” and as be spoke he touched a >mall
object and a stream of water four inches
in length sprang into the air. "The first
time I noticed this," continued the
speaker, “I was looking down into the
water and was struck by tho stream fair
ly in the eye and upon investigation 1
found that it came from the respiratory
organ of the larva of the common dragon
fly. This shooting water method is not
peculiar to insects. There are a number
of fishes that have a similar habit. One
known as tho archer fish will rise to tho
surface, and ej ct a stream of water four
Or five inches above and so accurate in
their aim that they can hit an object as
small as a fly with the greatest ease. The
long nosed chaltodon is equal’y remarka
ble in this respect. Their bill seems ar
ranged to form a perfect airgun, through
which a drop of water is forcad at an in
sect with unerring aim.” The squids
have a similar faculty of ejecting a stream
of pure black ink and the writer has seen
tho lace of a person drenched in this way,
the ioky streams rising four or five inches
from the water.
"There’s one animal dynamiter you
haven't got hero,” said a tall, thin scien
tist, as the session broke up later.
"What’s that?'’ asked the host.
"Eggs,” was tho reply, "and that’s
the kind of an explosive to apply to these
human dynamite bowlers.”—Philadel

WOMAN'S WORLD.
Do not enter any one’s private sitting
room or chamber—even your own daugh
ter's boudoir or your husband's study—
without knocking at the door.
Little is to bo gained in this world un
less it is paid for. Gold demands a fair
equivalent, and the woman who would be
well tieated must show herself worthy of
such treatment.
Women of the world never use harsh
words in condemning their rivals. Like
the savage, they hurl elegant arrows or
namented with purple and azure, but
with poisoned points.
Young ladies who contemplate becom
ing wives, remember that husbands can’t
live on love alone—they must have some
thing more substantial, and, as a rule,
they want it well cooked.
If you want to lighten your wife’s la
bor see that the inside of the house is
frequently painted. A fresh coat of
paint io a room will do more towards
making it clean and tidy than all the
scrubbing and cleaning that a woman’s
hands can give it.
It would be well for girls to remember
that when worthy young men get ready
to marry they don't hunt up the prettiest
waltzers. They seek for higher accom
plishments.
And when a nob e woman falls in love
it is not with claw-hammer coats or shal
low pated ball room pets. She falls in
love with a man.
A door belle—the pretty maid servant
at your sweetheart’s bouse. But she isn’t
a thing to adore with safety whsn your
sweetheart is looking down at you from

THE INTUITIONAL SENSE IN WOMEN.
The wit of women has been praised,
but her instincts are quicker and keener
than her reason. Counsel with your wife,
or your mother, or sister, and be assured
that light will flash upon your darkness.
Women arc too commonly adjudged as
verdant in all but purely womanish af
fairs. No philosophical student of the
sex thus adjudges them. Their insight
is tho most subtle, an 1 if they cannot
see a cat in the meal, there is no cat
there. In counseling one to tell his
trouble to his wife, we would go further,
and advise him to keep none of his af
fair* necret fr«m her. Many • home has
been happily saved, and many a fortune
relieved by man's full confidence in his
better half. Woman is far more a seer
and prophet than mao, if she be given a
chance.
A Mother’s Lore-A Practical
Illustration of Its Power.
A mother's love ! What a potent thing
it is I It will melt the heart of the most
hardened criminal, when no other influ
ence would be effectual. No one but a
mother knows its full meaning, but every
one can appreciate it if they will. It is
known, though, that it means sleepless
night*, care, inconvenience, and, if ne
cessary, want, hardship and death. But
the subject has been too eloquently
treated by the sweetest poets and the
ablest writers to furnish an essay for
these columns. Too many practical il
lustrations occur in every day life for it
to be dwelt upon, so that it is unnecessary
to speak of the subject further in order
to make the reader understand the full
meaning of what is to follow.
_ Mrs. Henry Schualen, of Ashland,

the result. After trying many remedies,
she says Pkrvna brought a cure, and
that the daughter’s hearing is restored.
She concludes, by speaking in the most
flattering terms of Pbbvna, and then de
scribes in the most lovely manner the
happiness it has brought her, and reviews
the distress she experienced while her
daughter was afflicted.

in the vicinity (and we have some as

but they did me no good whatever. Our
merchant, Mr. Gillespie, insisted upon
me trying vour remedies. I did so, but
must say, I had little faith in them at
first; before I had consumed mv first
