In n recent story Mr. Lewis ha di s
covered one Peter Demi, a yuan;?

pears that less than u your ago Mr.
Demi left tho parental roof on li

in going West iva to ueijuiru the

tho end of live minutes from the time
that (inssy had lighted tho ftte, and
perhaps threo minutes after wo had
cleared a way, tho shot exploded with

of rock were shot up front the mouth
of tho idiiu't full fifty feet iu the air.
It was all very impressive, and gave
me a lesson in the tremendous power
of dynamite. 1 was much pleased,
and felt us if I were learning.

rice bird. It is said tied this bird,
which is known iu different localities
as Java sparrow, bobolink, reed bird
and other names, destroys from niie
foitrth to one-third of th : Southern
rice crop. Th y are slaughtered iu
eiiorinoiH numbers by tho s ntinel.'
employed and ulso by sportsmen, but
such is their greed that tiny will
hardly fly when a shot kills th; com
panions by their silo on tin; same
bush, but wiil continue to e it until
they air themselves slain. This maio ,
a heaven for the sport meii, and many
take a Iviintage of this s uson to put in
a few days' i hooting iu the rie; lb-ids.
This, however, has its drawbicks.
In order to get at the birds the "hunter
must leave the banks and enter the
fields, and in doing so be meets with
many obstacles. There are bog holes
for him to bee mi s mired in, orb'
may fall into an old dit ' i and have to
swim across, and there is l!i . A i i ger
of catching malaria, which at this sea
sin of the year is particulirly danger
ous. Hut reward sweetens labor, and
if a couple of sp irtsmen kill from )
to 1,00:) birds iu the course of a d iv's
hunt it is not c nisi lore I remarkable.
When, however, what is left of the
crop, after the frost, fresh-ls and
rice birds have hid a turn at it, is
sacked into the barnyard to cure, it
then falls prey to au enemy second,
only to the rice bird the black lerd
thru appears These ravenous birds
will settlo upon the .-tacks in great

witii the head, that which contain.- the

Wooden yarns were unknown up

Some of the wooden thread.; have
been bion 'il and worked into fancy j

a solution of permanganate of pota di.
A bath of oiicholl is employed in the

wood-pulp yarns made and so well are ,
tin y introduced into the goods that j
it is not easy to detect them. 1 hey
are Ih xible, like wool, smooth, uni

libre yarns. Put liny have no felting
power. They can bo pulled apart
abruptly.
If the presence of the yarns is sus
pected a thread should be removed
and an attempt made to pull it apart.
That is, try to bleak it, pulling grad
ually and with siillieielit force to sepa
rate it. If wooden, the cuds will
break nil' short ; if wool or other libre
the ends will separate irregularly.
