His secret is con tamed in a small vial of yellow isli brown liquid. Ilia mode o extermination is to tap a wolf or coyote alive and inject three drops beneath the skin. This operation he repeats three times in 12 hours, and then release, the animal, croen eyed, with dilated pupils, frothing at tin mouth and raving mad. It tive. from 80 to 40 hours after being liberated, but, like a dog with hydrophobia,it bites everything it meets, and every other wolf bitten becomes inoculated, and in this wav the poison spreads, and death follows at a rapid rate. The Rig Horn basin pa p-rs have published reports brought in from the range ol the death rate among the co yotes to be enormous from a new disease never before hoaro of, and the inventor claims it is his “mad death” wiping out the tribe.—San Francisco Ar gonaut.

In chopping down a tree tin other day, a Sherman county farmer m ticed a limb with a cavity some two feet deep in length and three or four inclms in diameter, in which were two large, lull grown birds. Then was a small opening, through which the birds received food from their mates. The limb was cut and the birds liberated Neither was able to tly, having never been out of its place ol imprisonment. It is probable that the moth er bird was small, and though able to make her nest in the hollow of the tree und rear her young, she could not extricate them, us they did not have strength enough to help them selves until the hollow so closed as to make escape impossible Those who have examined the buds think they are about two years old. They have been fed from t heir birth by their bird fellows through the aperture in the limb of the tree. —New York Press. - lSfisk walking, with deep in spirations, with the mouth closed, helps to sweep out the products of waste; and also by expanding the chest, is an anti dole lo possible pneumonia.

While at the age of 18 his fath er moved to Gwinnett county, where ho lived up to his death. At the age of 20 lie was mar ried to Miss Rebecca Karugson, also of South Carolina, and was the father of 10 children.

She was ill for quite a while, but when death’s cold hand claimed her for his victim all her pain was gone, and her spirit took its eternal flight. She was not a professed Chris tian, yet it is believed she has a home in heaven. On the day after her death her remains were laid away in Mt. Carmel cemetery. A. S. Hopkins, C. 11. Frankmx. OBITUARY. It is with much sadness, in deed, that we are now Called up on to mourn the death of our dear friend. Mr.G. Daniel Dyer, son of Mr. S. Z. Dyer, formerly of Gwinnett county. Mr. Daniel was born and raised in Gwinnett county,, and was one of its best young men. Referring to his boyhood, we can sny that he was our school mate and ncighborboy. While in school lie was a kind and as feet innate playmate and an obedient student. Preparing his lessons with that same in domitable energy and ambition that marks his success all along through life, he always stood well in bis classes. He seemed to early realize the fact that life was not for simple passtime, but for usefulness. His boy hood days were spent in going to school at Pleasant Hill and working on a farm with his father. At about the age of 22 he went to Atlanta where he com menced to. work for himself. He first worked for a furniture lions#-, then for an electric ear company, and then for a loan company, after which he went, to Montgomery, Ala., where he took charge of an office for the company. He soon went to Mobile, where he, with Mr.G. R. Chapman,established a business for themselves on Jan. Ist 1800. He prospered in his business, and was beginning to realize the fruits of his jwars of toil and devotion to duty. He united with the Baptist church at Mobile about one year ago, and lived n devoted Christian, always attending his meetings and Sunday-school. Rut just here his health be gan to fail, and he came to his father’s home in Atlanta. In the spring of ’O7 he made a short visit to Mobile, and re turned to his father's home wt No. fib Young street, where his death occurred on May 21 th. His remains were euterred at old Sweet Water cemetery in the presence of a large crowd of friends and relatives, who will ever mourn his absence. A. S. Hopkins, C. 11. Franklin.

Jack ! the host, courteously drank with each group or squad of visitors, and finally lie at d Mullaney, who had been equal ly hospitable, got into a di pute. Forthwith Jack repaired to the ballroom to find I is cap tain and have the controversy settled. The Hall was at its height, with the band ploying a languorous waltz, while the floor was filled with dancers im patient for the go-uotc of tin music. Just at this iuterestins. | moment Private Carpenter, ‘ll company, Third United Stab sj Infantry, stalked in uustiadily. | face Pushed, but determination stumped upon it.

Laurence Hutton, in an ar ticle.in Harper’s Round Table, tells the following good storv of fit April fool joke that his fat net played on him and the •vay he get even: In my bread and butter days 1 was a frequent and unhappy victim of what. Shakespeare •alls a raging tooth. A long siege with a certain molar had left me one early spring day with a broken spirit and a swol len face. Mv father had walk 'd the floor with me, and had groaned with me, and had suf fered in his feelings and m his sympathies more perhaps than had suffered in a physical way the patient himself. He was going that morning 'o attend the funeral of his old friend, Dr. McPherson, and he isked me before he left the ndnse —to which I was confined —what I thought I would like him to bring me back—a way >f his whenever I was in any serious condition of invalidism. [ demanded without hesitation i brick of maple sugar. A very strange request certainly from a person in my peculiar condi tion and one which appealed strongly to his own sense of ilie ridiculous. A lien lie returned at dinner time, lie carried the brick ou ch loped in many series of pa pers, beginning with the coars est kind and ending with the finest kind, and each of the wrappers was fastened "with its ! own particular bit of cord or ribbon, all of them tied in the i hardest of hard knots. The process of disentanglement was I long ar.d laborious, but it was persistently performed, and when the brick was revealed, 10, it was just a brick—not of maple sugar, but a plain, ordi nary, red clay, building brick, which he had taken from sonib pile of similar bricks on his way up town. The disappoint ment was not very bitter, for I knew that something else was coming, and I realized that it «'iis the first of April and that I had been April fooled. The some'hing else, 1 remem ber, was that most amusing of amusing books, George Derby's “Phtenixiana,” then just pub lished, and over it 1 forgot my toothache, but not my maple sugar. All this happened when l was about 12 years of age, and I have ever since associated Sqiiibob with the sweet Bap of the maple, never with raging teeth.- It was necessary, however, to get even with my father. Not an eas' matter I knew, and I consults! my Uncle John, a youth some six or eight years niv senior. He advised patient waiting. The father, he said, was absolutely devoted to the Commercial Advertiser, which he read every day from fronts* piece •to end—market report, book notices, obituary notices, advertisements und all—and if l could hold myself, iu for a whole year my Uncle John thought it would be worth it. The Commercial Advertiser of that date was was put safely away for u twelvemonth, and on the Ist of April next it was produced, carefully folded and properly dampened and was placed by the side of my fath er's plute, the mother and son making no remark, hut eagerly awaiting the result.'' The journal was vigorously scanned. No item of news or of business import.was missed, until the reader came to tile funeral announcements on tliej the third page. Then he look-1 ed at the top of the paper thro’ j his spectacle*, and then be 1 looked over his spectacles at me, who was very busy with my bread and milk, and he made but one remark.

SWARMING THE BEES. HOW RRA'ss AM) CYMBAL ARE I'SED TO ARREST THEIR EAGER FLIGHT. \\ lien 1 was a child living ou a southern plantation long be fore tho war, there was among the negroes a little, old African named Mingo. Among other duties lie took care of the bees Just under a long trellis of hon eysuckle and multiflora roses stood a long bench, and upon this were the hives. Trellis, bench and hives were all Min go’s handiwork. Occasionally lie would bring from the swamp a section of ft hollmv gum log and make of it, a hive, He called all of his hives “bee gums.’’ In the early spring, before tin- time for sVarming, Mingo always provided several new hives for prebahle swarms. Then came the time for pleas urable waiting fur him and tin children, white ami black, with all of whom lie was in firm f riendship. Home bright day there would come from the yard a quick and loud tattoo, Mingo beating an old brass kettle that lie kept for the purpose. It was a sig nal to the children that the bees were swarming. Books were dashed aside, and there was a wild scramble for tin pans, shovels, waiters, pokers, tongs, anything in the world that would make a noise, The brown cloud of bees hov ered overhead. Mingo kept close watch, and at each detour it made toward the weed In called to his willing cohorts: “Louder! Dey's mukin’for de ■ woods!” Close at his heels we follow en. beating with all our might. At last the cloud grew denser and smaller about the liuib of a sweet locust tree, with which the yard was thick. The queen had settled, and soon a thick brown mass of quivering bees hung in a long pendant from the limb. At a wave of Mingo’s band the noise ceased, and we all stood breathless, watching till the last bee had settled into place. How we pitied the in side bees and wondered how they breathed. Then came the supreme mo ment. with Mingo. Having cap tured the bees he had to im prison them. He worked like a magician at Ins incantations. Telling us to be silent and watch the bees, so:- sometimes they swarmed again after set tling, he went to the little spring branch outside the yard and gathered willow twigs, then into the garden and brought back handfuls of mint. Selecting a new liive, he rub bed it thoroughly inside with the mint. Then, with the top removed, he placed it on a table immediately below the cluster ed b es. * Taking i t hand u small soft brush, he climbed the tree, while his assistants prudently withdrew to a safe distance. If the limb were small and low, he cut it off, and bending over, shook the bees from it into th« open hive. If it were large, he shook it till the lieeti were dislodged, brushing off with.his brtiMmi any that con tinued to cling. The bees nev er. stung him, to our unbounded umazemont and admiration. Having twined the willow twigs about the hive to keep away the bugs, worms and oth er foragers, lie left it standing | upon the tr.bln until the little colony was well established in its new home. Then he re moved it to a place beside the old hives oti the bench under the honeysuckle and the multi Horn roses. YOl'R HOY-WONT LIVE A MONTH.

Society, Lawrenceville auxiliary.] In the beginning of Bible his tory God said, “Speak unto the children of Isreal, that they go forward.” When the King of Glory had finished the work He was sent to do, e’er the ever lasting doors were lifted up to receive him, his last command was, “Go ye therefore and teach all nations.” rims in both the old and new divine systems, the emphatic order was, “Go forward!” and vet nineteen hundred years have almost completed their cycle, and only one fourth of the human race has been reach ed by the gospel of Christ. An English preacher asked some British soldiers “If (Juecn \ ietoria lyere to issue a procla mation, and placing it in the hands of her army and navy, were to say, ‘Go ye into all the world and proclaim to every creature, ’ how long do you think it would take to do it?” One of those brave fellows, ac customed t»i obey orders with out hesitation or delay and at peril of lift*, promptly answer ed: “Well, 1 think we could manage it in about eighteen months.” The hesitation and slowness with which the church follows up the divine command may be | owing to the need, as Christlied j asserts, of a three-fold eover ;sion, namely, of the heart, .to secure holy affections; of tin head, to assure right convic tions; of the purse, to assure I ample offerings. Truly, many of us need this j conversion! Just mo long ns the spirit of missions is wanting, there will lie an adequate force of laborers, or money to send them. The Moravians, with but twenty thousand adult enm municniits, and by no means a rich people, lead all other re ligious bodies in contributing jto missions and sending out missionaries. One out of every seventy of their membership is in the mission field, and they contribute an average of twelve dollars per member. Such a record should put us to shume )>y comparison. We nni6t do more and more, to rise with our opportunities and ap proach the measure of our obli gations. Dr. Pierson, whose consecrat ed pen modern missions owes a debt of gratitude, says, “Work is worship.” What St. James calls the energetic supplication i- just now the only acceptable prayer. There are times when the only true supplication is the supply of men and materi al of war. This crisis is upon us. Is the Woman's Mission ary Society ready to meet it? “It would be a blessed thing,” i said Mrs. Rhea, of Persia, “to | look at Christ through the eyes his Moses, the chosen leader of Isreal; or David, the Messianic Psalmist; or Isaiah, the Messi anic prophet; or John, the be j loved deciple; or Paul, the chosen Vessel; but she hail rather see Jesus through the eyes of u pagan woman than through fhose of prophet <n apostle. Anil her words are not hard to understand; for to none of the goodly company o' the apostles could He appear so woundrously beautiful, as to her whom by His love and grace He had lifted out of the horri ble pit and miry clay of associ ation with soulless cattle and beasts of burden.” If the six hundred thousand women of the M.
