Every college in the country turns them out. Children pick up tumbling and boxing' and club swinging from their elders and easily become proficient. There is now no trick in the most difficult feats on the horizontal bar or in the ring. They are too common.” I looked at the old athlete’s broken nose and his missing ear, the other ear slit and disfigured, and concluded to stick to my own profession. The ears‘ were sacrificed to the feet of the man who turns somersaults and alights on the shoulders of the victim‘e-N. Y. Herald. “Where do they all come from?” I asked. Old Fred must have been in the ring at least 40 years ago. He is about 60 years of age now and is doing the mounted athlete business with Barnum (E: Bailey. It is the same Herbert Brothers act, but is done on barebacked horses. Fred is still a magnificent speci- men of physical manhood. “Acrobats are plentv no“ a' lays, ” says Fred Humie “Tumbling doe: n’: attract any attention.

For further particulars address The reason for the backing down of the Russell people is shown in the fact that. the Shedd people own the \Vestcott patent (Canadian patient. 1879, for 15 years) which protects them and makes the users of other fences with suspended wire loops infringcrs, and all parties usine‘ such are notified that they will be called upon to pay.

He rented fifteen acres of ground from his father, agree~ ing to furnish all thevegetables the family :onlcl consume as rental, and so far has kept his contract. His crop consists of four acres of oats that will yield seventy- five bushels per acre; six acres of Irish potatoes that will ‘yield about. twenty aarrels to the acre; three acres of cab- oages that have over nine thousand plants to the acre, and the toy thinks they will average about eight pounds to the head; and the balance of his rented land is sown in onions that will yield not less than six hundred bushels to the acre. In addition to this, he is raising a large number of turkeys.
