Sessions ordered a tree to be cut, as it gave
evidence of rapid decay and its proxim
ity to his dwelling made it dangerous.
It was an immense ancestral oak and for
years a hollow had extended up through
it. When the tree fell the skeleton of a
man was found wedged in the hollow and
near him. tne silverware and money that
had been stolen from Mr. Sessions. The
supposition is that the burglar, in es
caping, climbed the tree and stepped in
the hollow to elude discovery, but found
it impossible to extricate himself.

WEIGHT OF LOCOMOTIVES.
The size and weight of loconiotives
have steadily increased ever since they
were first used, and there is little reason
for thinking that they have yet reached
a limit, although it seems probable that
some material change of -design is im
pending which will permit of better pro
portions of the parts or organs of the
larger size. The decapod ebgines built

Some Ve?cy strcft painters were relat-,

said : Y
"I took a contract to paint a wagon
for a fruit rieal-r. . The dealer was verj
particular and insisted that the vehicli
thculd be )ainted the exact ; color of an
orange. What was I to do I did not
have the necessary colors to J make that
tint, and that was net the worst of it ; 1 -
did not' have the money to buy them."
But I painted the Wagon. ' I called th
dealer in to look at it. That is not what
I ordered; that is not an. orange color.
I will send you an orange so that yon
can match the exact shade 1 want. . .A-
"The orange came, and I confess there .
was considerable difierence. After con
trasting the oiange with, the wragon and
he wagon with the nra-canie to the
-PftifS'Btafi' We'eart, anrl f had just
about paint enough le.'t to do that. In
few days I sent word that the job wa;
finished. The dea'er f aid : 1
'That is not right. You don't cat!
that orange?'
" 'That is about as cie.ir as lean get it,'
I replied, and held up the orange. He
looked at the orange and then at the
wagon. They were identical;. the same
paint covered both. I had painted the
orange to match the wagon.
" jWell, I must be getting color blind,'
he said, as he reluctantly paid for the'
job." ITeio York Telegram.

You all remember the divers windmills
and the wonderful contrivances of the

has the call on all such .contrivances.
His name ia Lathrop, and he has sick
ened the crow so thoroughly that to-day
he and the crow are not even on speak

Mr. Lathrop mixes his corn up with a
delicate solution of coal tar until the
kernels lob like licorice eougb drops.
He plants this, and lo 1 it sprouts and
grows thriftily, and no crow touches it
tw ice. Mr. Lathrop sits by the door of
his house and enjoys himself to see the
crows come in the early spring. They
caw over his field gleefully, as if to 6ay
here was a corn-lot with ro corn-trap.
They settle down and dig, and they
swallow a kernel or two. They rarely
swallow three. Something sets them to
