BELLS OF r . HE ANGELUS.
Beilis of (he past, whose force*ten music
Still fills the wide expanse.
Tinging t be sober I w iligbi of the present
With the color of romance!
1 hear yon call aurt see the sun descending
On rocks and w ays ami sand,
As dow u tlic coast the niissfon voices blending
Girdle the heathen land.
Within the circle of your incantation
No blight or mildew falls:
Nor fierce unrest, nor Inst, nor lost ambition
Passes those airy walls.
Borne on the swell of your long waves receding,
I touch the farther past,--
1 see the dying glow of Spanish glory.
The sunset dream and last!
Before me rise the dome shaped mission towers,
The white presidio.
The swart commander in his leathern jerkin,
The priest in stole of snow.
Once more I see Porta la’s cross uplifting
Above the setting sun.
And past the headland, northward slowiy
drifting.
The frighted galleon.
Oh, solemn bells! whose consecrated masses
Recall the faith of old—
Oh. tinkling bells! that lulled with twilight
msuic
The spiritual fold.
Your voices break, they falter in the darkness—
Break, falter and are still;
And, veiled aud mystic, like the host descending,
The sun sinks from the hill

JERRY’S SKUNK FARM.
an astonishing establishment
UP IN THE NORTH WOODS.
Just as It was Growihg as Profitable
as it was Offensive Jerry Disap
peared, and Peopie Say that the
Skunks Ate Him.
From the New York Sun.
Northwood, Herkimer County, N. Y.,
Deo. l6.—One of the stories which the
Northwood guides never tire of telling is
the history of old Jerry Little’s skunk farm.
Jerry was au old bachelor who is supposed
to have come from Canada, though no one
knows very much about his life before he
settled in the town of Ohio, adjoining this.
In Ohio his home was a log shanty of one
room, a log barn and about 25 acres of land,
of pretty poor soil, the greater part of
which had been cleared and afterward al
lowed to glow up to blackberry bushes.
The market value of the place was perhaps
$75. Jerry moved into the house early in
the month of March, a good many years
ago, but attracted no attention to himself,
after the neighbors learned that he was a
bachelor, for some time. He was seen at
■work as the snow went away clearing off a
garden patch and then building a stockade
enclosing about half an acre of ground ad
joining his barn. This stockade set the
neighbors a gossiping. It was made of posts
from two to three inches thick, with their
adjoining sides hewed roughly but so as to
fit together with cracks lietween not ex
ceeding half an inch in width. They were
set in a trench two and one-half feet deep
and stood over four feet out of the ground.
The neighbors supposed he was going into
the poultry business.
“Do you 'low that ’ ere fence ’ll keep
skunks out?” said Alfred McKenzie, Jerry’s
nearest, neighbor, as he stopped to look at
the old man at work setting the posts in his
trench.
"It’ll keep ’em in. Skunks ain't nonotion
of burryin’ more’n two feet, an’ they won’t
burry at all ef ye’ll give ’em decent quar
ters.”
That was all Greek to McKenzie and to
this day he holds up his hands ar.d rolls his
eyes to show how astonished he was when
Jerry said it. But it all came out. Jerry
was going to establish what he called a
‘ •skunkerie,” and was thereafter set down
by his neighbors as a fit object to mention
when obstreperous children were to be
frightened into obedience. Mothers would
say: “If you don’t I’ll give vou to old Jerry
Little to feed to his skunks, just as mothers
tell their children to “come in out of that
street before the cows eat you.”
In spite of the well established belief that
Jerry was crazy, the neighbors were all cu
rious to know how he was going to conduct
the skunk-breeding business, and as he had
no fears of rivalry, he good-naturedly told
them all about it. He had found one family
of skunks comfortably domiciled under his
barn when he arrived, it being a common
thing for skunk , in spite of the persecution
which they receive from the farmers, to
make themse ves very offensively at home
as near to human habitations as [ossible,
instances lieiug not unknown where they
have burrowed under the kitchen floor of a
farm house and there remained until finally
killed by the disgusted farmer. The pair
that lived under Jerry’s barn were not per
secuted. They were red every day.
When the stockade was completed Jerry
proceeded to make comfortable nests for his
stock within it. These consisted of artificial
burrows made out of hollow logs, old soap
boxes, barrels, etc., partly sunk in the
ground and covered over with about two
feet of earth, with holes at one side, so that
the animals could get in aud out. The en
tries were always arranged so that even a
drenching rain could not wet the inside,
while each burrow had a comfortable carpet
of old grass and leaves. The interiors were,
as a rule, constructed of simply one box : r
barrel, but in three or four places near the
bai n were underground homes that, for ca
paciousness, were comparable to double-deck
lenements iu Mulberry street, three or four
boxes and barrels being connected together
by hollow-log passages.
"Kknnks is the sociablest critters ye’ver
see,” Jerry used to say when telling his
neighbors how he had provided for the
comfort of his stock. “You might have
dug ’em out by the dozen afore now, when
niter their pelts, but ef they only has a
chance tbey’H live in flocks like squirrels a
trav’lin’.”
With the yard completed, Jerry’s next
care was to stock up.
“There’s a couple over my way y’ c’n hev
an’ welcome,” said McKenzie when the
scheme had been explained to him, and
Jerry accepted the offer by carrying a lx>x
trap over to McKenzie’s place and catching
two fine black ones. McKenzie, in telling
about it, says that if he had supposed they
were pure black he would have caught them
himself: black skunk skins brought 75c. a
piece down at Utica, and that was a sum
not to be found on the back of every animal
roaming around a farm and well worth
bearing the trouble and stink for. How
ever, Jerrv got the skunks and ea*rnxi
them home and turned them loose in his
skunkerie.
It had by this time got well along in April
and the snow was disappearing rapidly, and
with the warm sunshiny days followed by
warm nights the entire skunk tribe of the
town came out from their burrows and
wandered up and down the fields aud around
the swamps looking for food in the shape of
frogs and field mice, and not hesitating to
follow an unfortunate rabbit into his bur
row. Wherever thev went they left unmis
takable evidences of their presence, and a
less wise trapper than Jerry would have had
no difficulty in determining where to set the
traps.
There was nothing novel alxiut the traps.
They were made of boards and were simply
oblong boxes a foot square on the end and
two feet long, with doors at each end that
shut down with a heavy Icing when the
skunk steppe<l on a little stick in the centre
of the box and released them. A live frog
ora half of a chipmunk which Jerry caught
served as bait.
Before May 1 Jerry liad nearly twenty
skunks iu his enciosure, the majority of them
being females. Thereafter he caught more
males than females, but he kept right on
trapping. By the middle of May his stock
liegun to multiply rapidly, each mother
skunk having a family of from six to eight
babies. The old man was uow kept busy
obtaining food for the animals, hut what
with a good uet with whim he easily caught
no end <tt frogs in the swamps, not to men-
tion a plenty of chubs down in Black creek,
and the hawks and crews aud the owls, aud,
perhaps, other birds that could not be law
fully taken that he caught with various
sorts of snares, in the setting of which he
was au adept, ho managed to keep his stock
in fine condition.
About this time the neighbors learned that
the stockade was serving the double pur
pose of keening the skunks in and the foxes
out. Of all the enemies of the skunk none
is so destructive as the fox, which is espe
cially fond of the young skunks. According
to Jerry all the tore- living within many
miles had smelled out his skunkerie. There
was nothing wonderful about this, the
neighbors said, but the foxes were attracted
by the smell as much as the neighbors were
repelled. Every oveniug Jerry set two or
three traps of various kinds close under the
outside of the stockade, and it was a rare
occasion when morning did not find at least
one fox in the traps. They would come to
the stockade and, finding it pretty high to
jump over, would go trotting around the
enclosure seeking a hole to get through and
thus were easily taken. The skins were
valueless at this time of the year, but the
skunks eat the fox meat with just as much
relish as the fox would have exhibited in
eating the skunks.
Of the docility, intelligence and playful
ness of his stock, particularly of the younger
portion of it, Jerry told most wonderful
stories. They became as tame and com
panionable as kittens. Jerry handled them
with impunity, kept several in his house aud
even taught them such tricks as standing
on their hind legs to beg for food, jumping
over a stick and so on; but not many of the
neighbors could make boast of having seen
the tricks done. The skunks might not use
their peculiar powers against Jerry, but a
man must needs have Jerry’s peculiar tastes
to be able to approach within forty rods of
his skunkerie.
Jerry, indeed, said that skunks were just
as good ratters as ferrets and much more
companionable, and he offered to furnish
the neighbors with skunks that had had the
offensive glands cut away, rendering them
as free from offensive smells as kittens, but
the neighbors would not believe him and,
considering that the bite of a skunk is fatal,
it is probably just as well that they didn’t
take any of them. The truth is that noth
ing but thp fact that Jerry had rid all the
adjoining farms of foxes as well as skunks,
prevented the neighbors, who were occa
sionally obliged to drive along the road
where Jerry lived, from complaining to the
authorities and having uim abated.
What with his breeding and trapping
when winter came the old mau hail upward
of LOO skunks, all fine and healthy, and
there was a very excellent prospect that he
would increase the number fivefold by an
other winter and would then be able to real
ize on his peculiar stock. Skins were worth
40c. each on the average, and the returns
that would come from the sales of 300 or 400
skunk skins which, in all probability Jerry
could spare by the time another winter set
in, would place him on a cash basis that
would make him the envy of the entire
country side. A yearly income of $l5O cash
is something of importance up this way. It
is not to be supposed that even so much
wealth as that would have admitted Jerry
into Ohio society; social prejudices are quite
as strong in the North Woods as on Fifth
avenue, and society here in the matter of
perfumes draws the line at mephitis we
phitica., but the possession of such an in
come would have insured the old man from
being regarded wholly as a public nuisance,
and it is quite sure that the talk about his
being crazy had grown infrequent. He was
destined, however, never to enjoy any re
turn from his enterprise.
Along in the latter part of October Mc-
Kenzie noticed that for two or three days
in succession there was no smoke arising
from the old man’s chimney, and finally,
after receiving no answer to his calls from
the road, he went to the door and knocked.
There was no reply, and when the door was
opened—it was never locked, for no thief
could be found bold enough to enter such a
place when guarded by such batteries as the
old man kept—the shanty was found to be
deserted, except by two or three of the old
man’s pets. Old Jerry Little had disap
peared even more mysteriously than he had
come, and where he went to is a matter of
conjecture to this day. McKenzie got a
couple of the neighbore and ma le search
about the place, thinking the old man might
have taken sick while visiting his traps, but
no trace of him was found anywhere unless
pair of old boots and the remnants of a
pair of trousers and a shirt in the skunkerie
were traces. McKenzie believes and main
tains to this day that the old man died sud
denly in the big pen he had built and was
devoured by the skunks, who dragged such
portions of his bones as they could not eat
into their burrows. Nobody was brave
enough to investigate the burrows until
after the cold weather ana snow had driven
the skunks into their hibernating state, but
at that time nothing but a lot of skunks
was found. McKenzie says the skunks eat
bones and all. He also believes that the old
man was bitten by one of the animals and
died as every one does wiio suffers from a
skunk bite. The probability is that he was
simply' crazy and wandered away.
The guides believe that breeding the
skunks, an animal that would multiply like
the rabbit but for the enemies it has, would
be a profitable business, but they say that
no amo.int of moliey however large, not
even the possible S3OO or SSOO a year that
might be made out of it, could induce them
to try it.
Suicides and Explosives.
From the St. James Gazette.
The death of the Anarchist, Lingg, by
means of a detonator exploded iu his mouth,
is not the first self-murder of its kind. In
1870 a native of Alsace put a dynamite
cartridge into bis mouth a id fired it, with
the result of blowing his head and the upper
port of his body to pieces. In June, the
same year, at Wickham Market, in Suffolk,
a woman named Solomon, the wife of an
oil merchant, purchased a quantity of gun
powdr, and, having made a circle of it aud
placed herself iu the midst, she fired the
powder. The experiment was unsuccessful;
only slight injuries were inflicted on the
weman. Thereupon she put a quantity of
gunpowder into a pail, placed her
se f over the bucket and applied the match.
Ou this occasion her injuries were more se
vere ; but for her purpose the explosion was
again a failure, and so finished herself with
a knife. At Nitshill, in Scotland, in Octo
ber of the same year,a miner named Duncan
obtained some dynamite and blasting lfise,
and went into the street, where he placed
the dynamite on the ground, leaned over it
and lighted the fuse. At this moment
some boys, attracted by his unusual atti
tude, came toward him. “Keep back!”
shouted Duucan, “for the love of God, or
you will be blown into eternity 1” The boys
stood aloof. In a few moments there was a
loud explosion, and Duucan was blown to
atoms. In September. 1881, a miner tat
Runcorn filled his mouth with gunpowder,
ignited it with a match, and succeeded in
blowing the top of his head off.
A more elaborate application of explo
sives to the purposes of suicide and murder
combined was also recorded in 1883. At
Dunedi ', New Zealand, a clerk named
Stephensou, who lmd been separated from
his wife, met her in the street, aud exploded
a dynamite cartridge close to her head, his
own head being placed at the same moment
very near to hers. Both were almost com
pletely blown off.
But the most remarkable case occurred on
the West coast of Africa. The King of
Falaha being attackod by a Mahominedau
force, and finding resistance impossible, as
sembled his family aud principal officers,
aud after addressing them and intimating
his determination never to accept Mahom
medanism, and inviting those who did not
agree with him to go away, he applied a
light to a large quantity of gunpowder col
lected for the purpose, and blew the palace
and ail who wero in it to pieces.
