FOREST AND STREAM. 



Faking.— In the Kingston (Canada) poul- 

 try exhibition the judges had some of the 

 game fowls washed in a bucket of water, and 

 it was discovered that they were only com- 

 mon fowls painted. 



Faking is much practiced in Europe, and 

 very ingenious devices are sometimes em- 

 ployed to make show animals appear to be 

 what they are not. We have heard of a large 

 rat being transformed into a diminutive 

 black and tan terrier, and painted fowls and 

 song birds are very common. 



—A man at Fulton, N. Y., recently laid 

 his fiDger on the table in front of a buzz saw 

 to feel the momentum of the air. The saw 

 was going so fast that the teeth could not be 

 seen. His finger was taken off. While he 

 was looking at it the firemen came up with 

 the question. " How did you do it ?" "Why, 

 I put my finger down so," answered he, plac- 

 ing the other forefinger, as lie thought, well 

 away from the teeth. To his horror, the saw 

 took off that one too, at the second joint. 



—Why is good wine like a bird in the 

 hand ? Ans. Because it is worth two in the 

 bush. Shakespeare says good wine needs no 

 bush. 



— To cure a tendency to periodical intem- 

 perance, use a farinaceous diet, and relinquish 

 animal food. 



Messrs. TIFFANY & CO., in- 

 vite public attention to the 

 AMERICAN PEDOMETER, a 

 remarkable invention of Mr. 

 Benjamin S. Church, the well- 

 known Engineer of the Croton 

 Aqueduct. 



This instrument accurately 

 measures the distance a person 

 carrying it walks, showing the 

 amount of daily exercise taken 

 in and out of doors. 



Its mechanism is a marvel of 

 simplicity, and can be readily 

 adjusted to any length of step. 

 It is strong and durable, and the 

 size of a small watch. Ladies, 

 Professional and Business Men, 

 Students, Pedestrians, Sports- 

 men, Farmers, Surveyors and 

 others, will find it very useful. 

 A Table accompanies each Pe- 

 dometer, giving the number of 

 steps taken in a mile, second, 

 minute, hour and day. 



PRICE $6.
