A True PoacbInf Stor;.
By W. W. Wllloeka, Mayvllle, Ky.
aooooooooocooooooooocooe
¥ANY years ogo tho famous HIII of Cattertbuu was densely wooded on all sides—as you approach the Yale of Lethnot, Forfarshire—conse¬ quently game was abundant; but nil the woods and grounds were carefully patrolled by mauy keepeis nnd bai¬ liffs, Uut In face of all this poachers were numerous, and hold, and mauy stories are told about theiu. I recol¬ lect B rather amusing Incident.
At tbat time there were Iwo very determined poachers—I think one of them wns named "Dnimmoud." They were both well known, and gnve the keepers a good deal of trouble. Tlie head gamekeeper had resolved to cap¬ ture them single handed, aud to this end he had been secretly -n-atchlng their movements. He knew full well that they had gnme In Ihelr posses¬ sion, but how to make the cnpture was the difficult part, for they were very shrewd and cunning.
The keeper had been out watching several nights In the hope of securing thetn and their booty. At last his vigil Is aboi!t to be rewarded. The night had been a little fhowerj-, heavy clouds kept scudding across the face of Ihe moon. It wns the fall ot the yenr, but the evening was plcasautly •Kavin.
The keeper hnd carefully secreted himself among a clump of tall broom and whIu bushes. It was not long be¬ fore hc discovered his prey. One of Ihe poachers had \yliat appeared to lie n graiu sack on his back, nnd, by glimpses of the moon, our hero could sec that tbere was something bulky In It. "Ilarcs. no doub;." chuckled the keeper, "and perhaps pheasants. Aim! now 1 have tbem at Inst. At the prop¬ er time I will give chase nnd catch theui."
Just then Ihe luoon glinted forth ngalu, and couvluceil him that he bad made no ui!slal;e, fur tbo jueu were wiibin thirty yards of him. ".\ha! my billies," the keeper again chuckled to himself.

But "the best luld schemes of mice nud men gang aft agley," for anoth.-i' dash of moonlight assured biui lii,it Ihe poachers hnd seen him, for lliey bad already slnrted to run: but the keeper was lleet of foot, nnd gaie rapid chase. ,V cloud caiue over the face of the uiouu, and tbey all but lost  sight of eacli otber.
Not a wold was .spoken, but ou sped Ihe pursued nnd the pursuer. Anoth er rift lu the clouds leveiiled to tbe keeper that he wns gaining on ilieui. One of the poachers wns faillug he- hliiil-it wns the one with the sack. .Now was tlio lime for "tLnuile." He yelled at the tup ot his voice, iwhlch by the way was equal to a steam cal- Uoliei "Slop thief; I bave i-auglit you nt lust my fine fellow; Bo'iany Bay fur you this time. ' lie wna now close oil to the flceiug mnu with tliu sack. The poacher stunibb* and rolls over an ohl stump, the sack going oue way ami the mnn auutlu']'. ".Now, sir." screnmcd the keeper, "luiii my bares out of that saik." ".No. I won't ilo nuythlug of the kl:iil.' growlc.l tlie poacher, as he scninibled to bis feet limping badly. "If you waut to know what Is In It you must untie tbe sack and find out for yoiiiself ' ".^lia." snarled the tecper. "I will soon do that," aud he whipped out his knife to cut the strlug.
The poacher was uioaulug ami limp¬ ing badly, so Ihe "tJnnile" thought that there was no chance of hliu try ing to escape. "You scoundrel. Is your leg broke';" "I think It Is," ni.janeil the poacher ".Vb! there now 1 will see bow u:any of my beauties you havo got lu there." proceeding to cut the string that waa lying the sack, his head leaning forward near the month of the bag.
As he reached dowu hia band to bring out the iiiuicnis. the keeper gave a wild, piercing scream, aud then iH-gnu to execute one of the wllibst of Indian war damis. "Hey, liieie." cried the poacher, "keep off. What is the matter witb you? I say. k.-ip still, or you will break my otber leg." "Flre, murder, thieves, the I-onI have mercy," roared the keeper. "Whut did you have In that sack?"
".\ha." laughed the poacher, "you found out, dldut you? Tbere. now my leg Is belter, so I must be off. (iood nigbt. Gamle. and lenieraber Ihat 'a bird In the haud ia worth two in the bush.'

The scheme waa a well laid one on the part of the poachers, hut a serious nnd a very cruel one for the keejier.

ECC-SORTERS   IN   DENMARK,
Tbey     la
A writer In a recent number of "I.n Nature." after referring to the com¬ mercial methods of handling eggs lu France, gives an interesting nccount of the co-operative plan In use In Den¬ mark, From this It apiiears that the Danish producers all deliver their eggs, each ot which Is required to lie stamped with tho nnme of the owner, to specified depots situated near rail¬ roads everywhere, where the opera¬ tion of examination nnd classification Is effected automatically by n very Ingenious apparatus conslsllng of a dnrk chamber for cxainlnatlou by transparency and a long table for elasslflcntlon. In tbe first process tho eggs are placed In cups Jointed to an endless lielt. Thia carries theiu Iuto boxes giving them a rotary motion. The belt Is actuated by the operator ill Ihe dark chamber through lb;> agency of b small band wheel nt his right, while to his left there la n drawer for the reception of defective eggs. I'nder the eggs nn they pass I through this chamber there Is a lamp. I The operator consequently simply I glances along Ibe rows as they pasa ' lilm, and Is able nt once to detect n I bad oue without inspecting each one , .sepnrately, making the examination at the same time accurate and quick.
The classifying apparatus consists of an Inclined table, one extremity of which Is for n certnin length covered with felt. Here the eggs are deposited and theu slid by girls over the glass surface which covers the balance of the tnble. This portion Is provided at places, here and there, with parallel bars that arrest the different sizes ns they pass along. If nny lodge be¬ tween these bars tluy are taken out and put In special receptacles tbnt flank these spaces. Four ;;lrls, it Is .snld can classify and pack with the device 1440 eggs In ten minutes. Tbey, with one examiner, live In nil, make the whole lalior force necessary for Ibo operation of one of these depots.

CAMPER'S WILD GARDEN
NO   NEED  FOR  THE   WOODSMAN  TO BE   WITHOUT   VEGETABLES.

I'lom May unlll December no woods¬ man who will take tbe trouble to etuily or lenin from another's expe¬ rience a Ilttle of Ihe Iwtnny of the woods need go without a suOlclent supply of vegetables from his w iile- slretcbing wild garden. Or perhaps If he will only wnleli the deer nnd bear for a while, instead of shooting tiiem ou sight, he will lenrn, ns the uewspapers say, "soiuelhing id his ad¬ vautuge."
There nre times wheu It seems to the meat clogged hunter and fi.shor- man as if be would give half his king¬ dom for a moulliful of some tnrt or peppery or bitter vegetable, to cleanse anil purge bis alimentary caunl and get the lenilen feeling out of his stem ach. At such times, ip.stead of sighing for the vegetable pots of dvlllzatiou. let bim devote half an hour to gather- lug a bunch of tbe roots of the tooth- woit or crinkled root, wblch may be eaten, like radishes, dipped In salt, and will lend a delicious savor to a meal of meat ami bread. Anolber Dungeut root, or tuber, growing plentifully In the woods Is the groundnut, or dwarf gliiseng. You cnn fiud it In almost auy moist clearing, though you must dig deep for the small round ti.ber that tastes so .Tiateful lo a meat-Jaded pal- ale.
I hesitate to speak of mushrooms as an arllcle of woodlaud diet, hecnuse plentiful as they are about old stumps, ' logs. etc.. a siieclal knowledge of tbem Is necessary 10 guard against confus¬ ing llier.i with polsouou.s toadstools, which tlicy :o closely resemble. But If some member ot the pnrly only pos¬ sessed this knowledge, wbat a feast uilg'iit be enjoyed far from the luxuries of (iviliznilou!
The woodsmnn's wild garden, how¬ ever, grows many varieties of whole¬ some and delicious "greens," which, in the spring, nny camper may easily recognize and bave for the picking. .Moug the brookslde In how many old braver meadows have I crushed, while trout-fishing, the luscious leaves and stalks of m,ii'sh marigolds or cowslips! None ill the river meadows of tbe set¬ tlements grows finer than this unmar¬ keted vegetable of tho wild woods. And how these cowsUji grcuus refresh the whole system, when boiled lu Ihe camp-jiot aud served with a dash of vinegar, salt and pepper! Kvei-y camper should take a small Jug of vln- .'gar wllh liliu Into the woods, "just for greens." as the boys say.
Theu there Is that other ¦wholesome nud delicious pot-herb of the woods cilled familiarly cow-cabbage. ThU lias uot so wide a range as tbe marsh marigold, but lu localities where It Is fouud It grows abiindaully. and li:>s the advantage of leafing out earlier llian cowslips, aud remaining tender and edible for a lon.uer iierlod. Trll- llums also mnke excellent greens, nnd ;1H the cniiiper will find thetn blooming late lu June In the open woods, be cau (iiolong with them bis pot-herb diet un¬ til the very height of tbo trouting sea¬ sou.
The wild parsnip, found growing along water edges In .May anil June, Is fully ns palnlnlile ns tbe cultivated va¬ riety, and Is au excellent appetizer when fried or browned In the camp spider. The Indian cucumber root, which nny field botnulst can uuearlh for you ill Hie fnll. is uot mnch heliind Ihe garden cuiiiinber In succulence (iud fiavor. The Indians used It for n relish, and the woodsman -ft'lU fiud It a welcome addlllon to his bill of fare. .Serve with vinegar, jiepper nnd salt.
The roots of the yellow pond Illy, chopiied fine and fried, hnve a very pleasant taste, and make n wholesome aud readily accessible vegetable food lu the woods. Wild radish. If you kuow It aud can find It, Is a really crips nud pungent relish, •with much the same taste as tbe garden radish, which wns derived from It.
Almost every boy should remember the watereresses he used to gather Iu tbe cool brooks about his nallve town. The camper ¦will find If In the quieter reaches of niouiilaiu sirenins, and un der the banks of mountain lakes. In the latter, too, he will find the wild cel¬ ery of which ducks nre so fond, and which Is grateful also to a discriminat¬ ing human palate. How nicely either the cress or the wild ceb-ry spices Ihe ;uide's biscuits and the flaky pink flesh of the moimiain iruiii: Wlhl mustard and horseradish, luu. will put a keen edge un a dulled appetite. If you can¬ not find watereresses.
In Thureau's "Maiue Wmvls." he sjieaks of using hemlock leaves na a fulistUnle for te:i. The woodsmnn should know of several other and liet¬ ler brews Iban thnt in case the tea- ' ddy gels enipfy. Wlutcrgreen leaves make a fnr belter tea lhau hemlock. i'lie lenvi's of red root yield a pleasant driiil:. and wild clil.ury Is better than eitli'i of till' foreguing. Cummon dau- dellun roots, dried aud 1 riiBhed. fur¬ nish a coffee Hint is buth palatable aud wholesome.
I have uot mentioned berries or bigb- Imsh cranberries ns one of the re¬ sources of the woodsman's husbandry, Ix'cause such a resource la evideut to all Anil yet many a camiier In the summer and fall will nllow himself to iret half sick on periietual meat aud liiscults. ralher Ihan spend time to gather a few quarls of Ihe luscious uud abundant fruits wllb which Ihe b.iriu'd over clearings alHiund—Forest and Stream.

Hoaae Flanta Fer tha Winter.
The best Ilme to get decorative plants to be grown Indoors during Ihe winter Is early In September. At that season artificial heat and high, moist temperature have been dispensed with, and planta are growing more naturally tbau at any other time Iu tbe year. There are but few which one can expect to grow well In Ibc house In wiuter. The aspidistra Is 0 plant which cannot be killed by ordin¬ ary ueglcct. Give It all Ihe water II netds. an occasional application of fertilizer., and 11 reasonable amount of light. Tliu agave Is n stately plant, and a well-grown specimen always at¬ tracts attention. For the hall It will he found quite as ornamental as a palm. Hccuuse of Ibe seml-succuleut nature of the foliage It will not re¬ quire much water except when It Is growing. Asparagus Sprengeerl Is nuotber plant which grows as well for tbe veriest nmateur as It iloes tor tbe owner of a greenhouse. Plant It In a soil of rleh loam, and give It a lib¬ eral allowance of water when It needs il, a sliiidy place to grow lu, nnd a fre- i|Uent Hbower-batb. Begonias arc not often classed among the very robust plnnts. but Ibere Is one variety which I have fouud sure to grow'well under dinii'ulties. This variety Is B. nrgen- lea ;;uttahl.

New York City.—Net earnings of Ihe Cnlted States Steel Corporation for the flrst six months of Ihe company's ca- ri'cr, ns announced officially, nre tr>4,- nri4,.S71. These figures were given out after a meeting ot the compony's di¬ rectors, at which the usual quarterly dividends were declared on lioth tho coiiuuon and pn'ferred stocks.
rnusual Interest ¦was shown by Wall Street regarding the probable ac- tlon of Ihe directors on tbe matter ot their Issuing a atatement of opera¬ tions. All doubts were scattered, however, after the cloae of tho Stock Fxchange by tho formal statement of the company's sound iiosltlon. Tbe figures show an enormous business, which was not lujurod, apparently, by the sleel strike.
President Schwab tells the slory ot the company's oiieratlons since April last, when the "Billion Dollar" Tnist was launched. In Ihe following flgnres describing the net earnings: April, »7,31«1,7'M: >Iay, $0,012,349; June, »8.- .'«»4,747: .Inly, »!),580,l,'il; Augnst, JU),- N10.S80; September (estimated), ?»,- ZOrttmO; totnl, S54,l»,')4,871,
The actual financial requirements of the Steel Trust, ¦which Include divi¬ dends at the rate of seveu per cent. on the preferred nnd tour per cent, on the common stock, together with tbe Interest ou the bonds, nre $71,(121,007 for a full year. So far this yenr II can be seen the company has earned with¬ in $11). not MKX) ot this required amount.
During .Tuly nnd August, the months when the steel strike was waged the fiercest, the earnings of the Steel Trust did not show nny decrease. The closing down ot the entire system ot plants ot the American Tin Plate Com¬ pany, half of the mills of the American Sheet Steel Company, ond a large per¬ centage of the properties ot the Steel Hoop Company, according to the state¬ ment, was not reflected In Ihe earning capacity of the big steel eompan.v.
This Is explBlneil by Ihe statement that the executive management ot the eompany was nble to dlstrlbnte fhe business which otherwise would hnve lieen left iinhandled nmong the various mills which were unaffected by the strike.
Probnbly tbe most Important part ot the official statement Is the announce¬ ment that large sums are sot aside from time to time for the maintenance fund and for the establlshineni of a sinking fund. It has lieen generally known In Wal Street tor some time that the company had established a sinking fund, but no one was taken Into Ihe (<onfldence of the eor|>oratlon regarding It* extent. In Ihe statemeut it Is announced that $7.0.'ill.7l».'i has been set aside. After this amount wns deducted the company charged off Ihe Interest of Ihe bonds, amounting to $7.(!d0.ii<X), the Interest for half a year nil the $,sa'>,000,(¥)(» flve per I'ent. bonds Issued when the company was formed.
The net earnings as stated In the ,'ifflclal nunouncement represent, there¬ fore, nil the funds applicable to dlvl- ;lends and Interest on Ihe bonded In¬ debtedness. When these amnunlH nre deducted there remains a balauce ap¬ plicable for a surplus or uew conslruc¬ tlou, ns the directors mny decide, amounting to iVl,3'M,7i'i.
When the process of concentration was completed the corporation was thrown face to face -with n strike of Immense proportions, which threat¬ ened the Integrity ot Ihe consolidation, Under these eoudlllnns the showing la considered by the directors most fa¬ vorable,
