An Amusing' Trick.
Suppose a person takes an even
number of coins or counters or
anything else in one hand, and an
odd number in the other, there is a
simple method by which to tell in
which the even number is. Ask
him to hand multiply by the odd number in his
light the in an his number, hand and
number left by an
even; then let him add the two
products total together and tell you if
the sum be odd or even. If
it be even, the even number is in
the right number hand, and if it bo odd the
even is in the left hand?

Wanton Killing of Buffalo.
John Kirker is a handsome
steamboat captain who has been
master of a great many vessels in
Southern waters. I sat with him
in his comfortable quarters in tho
steamboat State of Kansas last
June, as we pushed up stream to¬
ward Fort Leavenworth, says the
“Detroit Free Press.”
“This is my first trip up this
river since 1857,” he said, “when
I came up here as a cabin boy. I
have been engaged for the season
on this boat because I have been
in command of her all through the
South.
“When I came up here the last
time every man on board had fire-
arms for hunting purposes. • Sev¬
eral times each trip we were
forced to stop, in order to permit
herds of buffalo to swim across the
river. Buffalo aro fine swimmers
and the sight was something very
impressive. Hundreds of tho
grand, shaggy fellows were shot
in the water. Sometimes they
were killed, but often they floated
down stream wounded or scram¬
bled ashore to die in the under¬
growth. It was a fearful slaugh¬
ter. Everybody ha.; heard of the
in wanton from shooting that was indulged
car windows, but I believe
the public generally has not been
told of tho many hundreds of ani¬
mals that were killed while swim¬
ming the river in the old days of
steam boating. ”
