Was It Suicide?
FARM AND GARDEN.

WIT AND HUMOR.
“Do you think it wrong for a man to
commit suicide, John Norton?”
The trapper deliberated a moment, and
then said: “The word is a new un to me.
friend. Can’t ye show me the trail by
some other track ? ”
“Is it right for a man to take his own
life, John Norton? That is what I mean,”
answered the other.
This time the trapper deliberated even
longer than before. He fingered the ham
mers of his rifle as if he were trying the
lock, for a minute, and then said:
“I’ve seed the thing did, friend; but the
circumstances was onusual. ”
“Did you say that you had known a
case where a man took his own life ? ” said
the other.
“Sartinly, sartinly,” answered the trap
per, “I’ve seed it did. Ye see fire is hard
to bear, and the redskins be cunniu’ at tor
mentin’, and to escape the burnin’ I’ve seed
men kill themselves. Yis, I’ve seed even
officers, who ought to l>e rational, blow
their brains out with their pistols rather
than to be taken alive by the varmints.”
“John Norton,” and the man spoke ear
nestly, “ listen. Look at this body; it is
worn out. Its remaining staength only in
creases my pain. It is full of aches. It
affects my mind. Even the gifts of the
Lord are of no benefit. The beauty of jthe
day, the glory of the night, the loveliness
of the earth and the splendor of the lieav-
• ens are not apprehended. My eyes are dim
so that they cannot see. My hearing is
dull. I only half taste my good. I tire
easily. A little toil in the day fills the
night with suffering. I am well, but my
body is sick. The tenant is nobler and
more needy than ever, for I need finer and
higher tilings than I once did; but the house
has become a hovel. Why should I stay in
it ? ” and he put the question to the trapper
with force, almost imperiously. “I have
outlived its use; I shall leave it. I am
glad to say good-by to it and meet the sweet
surprise of the future.”
Again he paused. As he looked toward
the mountain his face was bright and cheer
ful as one thinks of pleasant themes. Af
ter a while he asked :
“Do you know why I have come to this
spot, old trapper ? ”
“ It’s a cheerful spot for either the young
or old to visit,” evasively answered the
trapper.
“I will tell you why I came here,” con
tinued the man, speaking as if he had not
heard the trappers reply. “ I came to do
what I admit to be a solemn act. I came
to surrender my body to the elements from
amidst which it was originally called. To
me it is my second birthday; I wish by a
high communion to prepare myself for its
happiness. I have heard of you as one
wise, good and thoughtful of strangers.
As a wise man I wished to talk with you.
As a good man I wished to commune with
you. As one thoughtful of strangers I
wish to ask your assistance. I also wished
to spend my last days on the earth amid
the beauties and the peacefulness of nature
as she reveals them in these woods. In the
city I should be a beggar in death. I
should be compelled to beg my hearse, my
coffin, my grave. Here I am rich. I own
all. As one old man' may claim from an
other old man, I can claim of you the ser
vices which friend pays to friend when
spirit has departed from body. I have eat
en at your table to-day. I shall leave my
body to night, will you bury it to-morrow ?
I would like it to have a suitable grave.
Can you guide me to such a spot, old trap
per?”
The trapper imitated his guest in rising.
That he regarded his guest as perfectly
sane; that he had respect for his judgment;
that lie accepted the conversation as utterly
honest; and, the stranger’s views as final,
was shown by the fact that he yielded in
stant compliance with the stranger’s re
quest.
“There is a place just behind the rock
there that I’ve often conceited would make
a cheerful spot for a grave; for the pines
be big over il, and the w ater makes pleasant
music on the white sand and leetle stuns
un lernoath. We will go and see it.”
The next morning the trapper rose at the
usual hour. He did not go to the bed oc
cupied by liis guest at once. He went and
stood in the doorway. He even went to
the spring and brought a pail* of fresh
water. He acted as if his guest were
asleep, sleeping a needed sleep, and would
fain not wake him; but at length he en
tered the house and moved with a steady
and measured step to the bedside of his
guest.
The man was lying oy his back, his
hands by his side, and his face composed
with that composure the complete tranquil
ity of which no earthly trouble can ever
ruffle. The trapper looked steadily at him
for a moment, and then he bent towards
him so as to command a view of the far
ther side of the body. A knife lay on the
blanket, and one keen, delicately shaped
blade open. The trapper took it up and
looked at it. The sharp point of it was
colored with a stain. He stooped and
looked at the wrist. It had been punctured
just above the pulse, for a slight wound
was there, and blood stains were on the
white skin. The trapper reached over and
felt the blanket. In one little spot it
was moist—that was all.
The trapper looked astonished. He gazed
on the face on the pillow, white with the
sure whiteness that never deceives, He
looked at the knife blade, with its stained
point; then at the wrist with the slight in
cision ; and then he made a re-examination
of the bedding, this time closely. On it,
l>eyond a few' drops, there was no blood.
The man had evidently prepared himself
for the act, had opened his knife, had
pressed the point of the blade into the flesh,
puncturing, as he supposed, the artery;
but, by a misjudgment, had missed the ar
tery and had made a slight incision in the
flesh that lies one side of it.
It is said that the imagination is able to
kill; that under similar circumstances men
have, from sheer imagination that they
were bleeding to death, actually died.
Was it so in this case ?
Certainly not a dozen drops of blood had
left his body, yet there was the white face,
and the knife, and the wounded wrist.
What killed him? How did he die?
Was it a natural death? Was it suicide?
The Blind Mole.
His family name is Talpidee, but he is
generally known as Scalops aquations.
And he is only the common “blind mole,”
whose little hillocks here and there are
familiar to every one. And yet, by patient
and careful observation, we find that he is
a most interesting little animal. His small
body is a combination of mechanical imple
ments. His long snout serves as a crow
bar, pickaxe and spade, and his whole
frame is an ingeniously complicated
machine, each part of which is well adapted
to its purpose. By the constant rubbing of
his sides against the walls of his dwelling
they become smooth and hard, so that he
scarcely carries any dust upon his body,
though when I threw him into the water I
found that a little dirt settled in the bottom
of the tub. The little creature searches
deep into the earth for insects, tender roots,
and worms, and it will even sink a well to
supply its young with water. Every spring
and autumn from four to five baby-moles
are added to the family; and as my little
captive was born and reared uuder the
ground, he naturally soon began to pine for
his “native element.” So one day I car
ried him back to the ruined hillock, and,
quicker than a flash, he disappeared be
neath the surface. As his tower had never
been rebuilt since his capture, I inferred
that he was the sole occupant of the hidden
castle. Immediately on liis return another
mound began to form, and as I watched it
from day to day I discovered that his noon
day visits outside were for the sole purpose
of getting rid of loosened earth, which
would otherwise be in his way, though
why he should select just that hour for his
“out-door exercise 1 cannot imagine.
During the months of June and July the
males and females mate, and at that season
the males engage in deadly conflicts with
one another, probably through jealousy
and riyalship.
Boys on a Farm.—There is a saying
that one boy is a boy, two boys are half
a boy, and three boys are no boys at all.
An uncomplimentary statement with
some semblance of verity, but lacking
the ring of absolute truth. When a boy
is old enough to save steps he takes his
place as a considerable factor in the
domestic problem. His energies need
competent direction; so do those of
most men. With increasing years he
should be encouraged to take an inter
est in the att'airs of the farm. He should
be taught not only how to do, but why
and wherefore. As he grows older
and begins to take his place with the
men in the field, don’t expect him to
“hoe his own row/’ but heip him to
keep abreast, or better still, a little
ahead. Inculcate thoroughness. This
will require line upon line and precept
upon precept. Demand of him not
quantity, but as good a quality of work
as a boy can do. The boy whp is old
enough to handle a hoe is old enough
to swear eternal enmity to weeds.
Don’t send him tor a jug of water
while you rest yourself in the shade,
and tell him to “come on.” Make his
hours short. Let his labor be some
thing more than exercise and a good
deal less than weariness to the flesh.
Give him something for his very own
—a pig or a brood of chickens. If he
inclines to rabbits or pigeons, gratify
him. When he tires of them and wants
to “trade,” let hiiu do so. The sense
of ownership will assist him to the
knowledge of relative values; and if he
makes •losing bargain his experience
will not be dearer than that acquired
in an older school. To the average
boy a melon patch is a “thing of beauty
and a joy forever.” Let him have a
good spot for the purpose; not in a
corner or under an apple tree, but
open to the sunshine and the dews of
heaven. Teach him how to plant, how
to cultivate, and how to keep the bugs
oft’. And if his boyish patience cannot
abide the slow process ot natural ripen
ing, and he “plugs” the whole happy
lot of them, as he probapiy will, no
matter. Many a man plugs his melons
all his life. A smart boy never repeats
the operation.
Spreading Manure.—The best prac
tice is to spread the manuae upon the
plowed ground and to work it in with
a harrow. This is most conveniently
done by having manure in a fine condi
tion. Fine manure may be made in
two ways; either by piling it and rot
ting it in the heap, or by nsing only
short litter. It is found in practice
that it pays to cut the litter with a fod
der cutter, so that it will not only ab
sorb more of the liquid manure, but
that it can be easily spread wnen Iresh.
The ordinary harrow will then mix
the manure with the soil in the most
eftective manner. W r ith long manure
the work is not so easily done, but it
may be accomplished by persevering.
The manure will be drawn into heaps,
doubtless; but by freeing the harrow
and spreading these and harrowing
again, and again if necessary, the de
sired result will be attained. There are
some improved kinds of harrows which
does this work much better than others.
The sloping-tooth harrow acts favorably
by pressing the manure into the soil,
and drawing the earth over it; the flex
ible chain harrow has the same effect;
but the steel dise harrow not only does
this, but it cuts and breakt up the Ion g
litter aud reduces it to fragments. This
harrow consists of a series of thin,
sharp-edged discs, which revolve upon
axles in a different direction from that
of the movement of the implement.
Each disc thus not only cuts into the
soil, but it throws up a small furrow of
light soil behind it, this latter effect
being assisted by the concave or saucer
shaped form of the disc. The result is
very satisfactory either when sod has
been turned down (and this comes un
der the head of manuring,) or when
coarse manure is to be spread; the soil,
too, is lelt in a very favorable condi
tion for sowing or planting. These
short hints may be found seasonable at
any time, because the making and use
of manure is a work of every day in
the year in one way or another, or
should be.
Clover.—The merits of clover as a
fertilizer cannot be too strongly praised.
Clover roots down and brings up to it
self the most beneficial elements of the
subsoil. These elements are ploughed
into the upper soil with the clover,
without bringing up the unnecessary
and useless e.emems of that subsoil.
It feeds strongly, but it gives back
more than it takes. It is the great root
er. If we were limited to clover as a
fertilizer or to some other one fertilizer
it would be hard not to choose clover.
If we wanted to rest a piece of land for
a year or so, we should sow clover and
turn sheep on it, and it would rest, not
only without loss, but with large prolic.
Preservation of Milk. — Boracic
acid is the best atiseptic agent for pre
serving milk sound for unusual lengths
of time. With the temperature at
eighty degrees Fahrenheit one part of
boracic added to 500 parts of milk caus
ed it to remain sweet for fifty hours.

Original Minds.
If Nero had lived in Detroit he could
not have been a tyrant for everybody
would have agreed with him. A citi
zen who desired to see how many peo
ple had opinions of their own on the
weather started out by saying to a
merchant:
“Awful hot, isn’t it, for July?”
“Yes—very hot,” was the prompt re-
ply.
The next man was a tailor, and to him
the citizen said:
“Ever see such raw weather for
July ?”
“Never did—never did,” was the an
swer.
The third man was a lawyer, and af
ter a glance at the sky the citizen re
marked :
“Looks now as if we would have a
long spell of dry weather.”
“Just what 1 was saying five minutes
ago,” was tfce reply.
The fourth man was an alderman,
and, after a handshake the citizen re
marked :
“I believe we shall have rain every
day this week. Do you notice those
clouds in the East?”
“Yes, I was watching them. I told
my folks this morning we’d have all
tne rain we could take care of.”
“The next man was a furniture deal
er, and after a few words on better
times the citizen said:
“This is growing weather for corn ?”
“Best kind of weather,” was the an
swer. •
The last man was a paving contrac
tor, and the inquiry was put to him :
“Did you ever see such aw r ful weath
er for crops?”
“Never did—no, never. I don’t be
lieve we’ll have half a crop of any
thing if the weather doesn’t change
soon.”

A Polysphenic Ship.—For the last six
years, the Rev. C. M. Ramus, Rector
of East Guildeford and Playden, Eng
land, has held his invention of the poly
sphenic ship at the disposal of the Ad
miralty. This vessel, it is calculated,
will skim the seas at the rate of forty
miles an hour or more. The word
“skim” discloses the secret of the idea,
for the invention is mainly based on
the fact that it a vessel can be made
by the mere force with which it moves
to ride over the w'aves instead of driv
ing through them, there is a prlraa
facie reason to believe that a much
higher speed than anything yet reached
will be achieved. The principle of Mr.
Ramus’s invention consists in making
the bottom of the vessel a series of in
clined planes. In 1872 Mr. Ramus
made a model having its bottom com
posed of two parallel and consecutive
inclined planes; or the vessel may be
described as made of two wedges, the
thick ends of w hich are placed abaft the
thin ends. There is thus in the centre of
the vessel a ridge where the thin end
of the sternmost w'edge abuts against
the thick end of the foremost. Any
floating body thus shaped must, w’hen
driven forcibly through the water,
tend to rise, and if the speed is high
enough it will rise Cfn the surface in
stead ot driving through the water.
These facts were demonstrated by some
rough experiments made in the pres
ence of creditable witnesses. The pro
pelling power in thes experiments was
a six ounce rocket. In one trial the
model weighing 3 pounds 3 ounces, ran
a distance of 105 yards in 3 seconds.
In another it ran 480 teet in 4y 2 sec
onds, the water being rippled by a
strong breeze, but in spite of tuis the
the deck was tound to be dry. The
principle underlying these models, says
The Mechanic,, may be taken advantage
of to construct wedge#sRaped ships, for
it has lieen demonstrated that the resis
tance to such vessel, which at first in
creases about as the square of tneir ve
locity, decreases as tne speed is aug
mented, until after a certain period
there is no further increase of resis
tance. Given the required machinery,
then, for propelling the poly.-phenic
ship and there seems to every proba
bility that speeds of forty miles an
hour or more can be attained.
The Lightning-Rod. — The St. Louis
Academy of Sciences has been throw
ing light upon the lightning-rod, con
cerning which, said Professor Niplier’
there are many popular delusions.
One is, that if one or two rods <-ontain-
ing«an equal amount of metal be hol
lowed out, thus giving it greater, ex
panse, its conductive power would be
greater than that of the other. The
truth is that they would be equally
good conductors. Another erroneous
impression which the Professor pro
ceeded to dispel was that a current of
electricity runs along the surface of a
wire. In reality it extends through
the entire wire when the circuit is
made, Mr. Nipher said, but while the
circuit is closed, it accumulates upon
the surlace of the conductor. A strong
point made was that lightning-rods do
not attract the lightning. They are
splendid conductors, and much better
than wood or air, and lightning strikes
them because they offer the least resis
tance to the passage of the electric cur
rent. It makes no difference whether
a point be on a lightning-rod or not, so
far as the protection of buildings is
concerned. The positive electr.city in
the earth will flow along the wire and
accumulate at the point, if there be
one, making the tension and the con
ducting power greater and enhancing
the probability of lightning striking
that rod in preference to another
which has no point but has the poltive
current dissemiuated through i t
equally.
When Water Becomes Poisoned.—Emi
nent chemists have decided that water
standing over night in the lead or cop
per pipes in houses may accumulate
enougn poison to become daugerous
for drinking or cooking purposes.
Cases of poisoning have been traced
also to water that had remained for a
considerable time in an ordinary ice-
pitchbr; a most alarming discovery,
when one considers how general tlie
use of metallic ice-pitchers has become.
The linings used is chieflly a compound
ol tin, antimony and copper. In view
of tlie danger from poisons adminis
tered in water we daily drink, it is re
commended that water be allowed to
run from the pipes for some time be
fore it is used in :he morning, and that
pitchers lined with porcelain be substi
tuted for the old style inetal-lined.
The Pneumatic Ctock.—Among the
many wonder!ul pieces of mechanism
at the late Paris exposition, the pneu
matic clocks exhibited in the Austrian
section were not the least interesting.
These clocks give exact time to all tlie
clocks of a city simultaneously, whether
the distance from them be six miles
or sixty.
A Man’s Food.—A man ot average
size in the course of a single years in
troduces into his system from eight to
nine hundred pounds of solid tood.
aDout eight hundred pounds of oxygen
gas, and three-iourtha of a ton of water;
making altogether about three thous
and pounds of matter.
Row Far Can We See?—An object
can be seen by the naked, eye if the
color is iavorable at 3000 times its own
diameter. Thus, the greatest distance
at which we couid behold a globe one
foot in diameter would be 3 000 teet or
1000 yards, borne authorities however
maintain that objects are visible at a
greater distance tiiau this.
The First Balloon Ascent.
A balloon floats in tlie air for the
same reason that a cork floats on water
—it is lighter. The first successful
trials were made with bags filled with
warm air. Smoke generally rises be
cause it contaius a good deal of warm
air. It is in this way that “fire bal
loons” are used at the present time.
One of the first balloons of this kind
was made by two brothers named Mont
golfier, in France, in 1783. They used
some coarse linen, which they cut into
shapes so that when they were together
at tiie edges they formed a big hag
about thirty feet across when blown
out. They lined this bag with paper
and, as they wanted to dry the inside,
it was hung up, and a fire was lighted
under it for this purpose. This warm
ed the air inside, and as it got full or
this dry warm air it wanted to go up.
This smoke balloon set the brothers
thinking of a plan by which they could
keep it full of warm v r - They soon car
ried it into effect by putting at the bot
tom of the bag cross poles, to which
they fixed a grate, and lighted a fire of
chopped straw. In five minutes the
bag had swelled out to its full size, and
took eight men to hold it down. This
balloon, when so filled, was able to lift
a weight ot five hundred pounds, so
they hung a basket underneath, and put
into it a sheep, a duck and a cock.
They went up a height of nearly one
thousand five hundred feet, and travel
ed a little more than two miles. How
the animals liked their extraordinary
ride in the air is not told; but w’hen
found, the sheep was quietly feeding
close to where the balloon fell, and the
duck and cock pecking about in their
usual n auner. This experiment was a
little in advance of the soap bubble
which first reminded the brothers
Montgolfier of the balloon.
Snake Bites.—The fang3—these are
two in number—of a poisonous serpent
are hollow. Through these tangs the
poison is injected into the wounds made
by them. The bite of a poisonous snake
always makes two deep punctures; that
of a non-poisonous'snake is irregular in
shape. When the poison is injected into
a large vein death may be almost in
stantaneous. Deatli from a rattlesnake
bite generally occurs iu five or six
hours. The pain, which is severer than
a bee sting at the start, becomes more
and more excruciating to the laSt. The
limbs, and especially the head, become
greatly swelled. If the victim is strong
he may live a few hours longer, and
then die of general mortification. The
rattlesnake can neither spring upon a
man. nor can it pursue rapidly. Ordi
narily, snakes bite only when they are
provoked. Where vipers and smaller
snakes are found, woodmen and others
should wear thick boots, as they seldom
attempt to bite above the ankle, and
their fangs penetrate the leather. A
person bitten should drink freely,
every fifteen or twenty minutes, a gill
or more at time, of whiskey, brandy,
gin or rum, diluted with hot water,
stopping just short of intoxication.
This will generally effect a cure in a few
hours, in the cases of bites from our
American snakes. As serpent poisons
are not injurious when taken into the
stomach, it is always safe to lei a person
suck the wound with his mouth, pro
vided there is no abrasion about the
lips.
Bread Pudding.—Place slices of but
tered bread into a deep pudding dish.
Cover the bread with thin slices of tart
apples; then put on another layer of
bread and apples, and continue this
until the dish is full. The top Jayer
must be bread and butter, witL the but
tered side down. Pour milk over the
w'hole until thoroughly moistened.
Cover the pudding dish with a plate
aud bake two hours. Take off the plate,
sprinkle the pudding with any tpice
liked, and bake another hour, or uutil
brown on top, and the apples solt.
Sauce—Make a thin paste with two
spoonfuls of flour, and turn it into half
a pint of boiling water. Stir until the
flour is well cooked, make the sauce
very sweet, and let it boil up at once.
Take it off the stove and add a table-
spoonful of strong vinegar or lemon
juice, and a piece of butter the size of
an egg. If too thick, more water may
be added.
Ventilation.—Many persons com
plain of always getting up tired iu the
morning. This is very often due to de
fective ventilation of the bed-room, or
from using an undue amount of warm
bed-clothes and bedding. Featherbeds
are too soft and yielding, and partially
envelop the sleeper, thus producing pro
fuse perspiration. Again, it is a com
mon error to suppose that by simply
opening a window at the top a roon can
be ventilated. People forget that for
proper ventilation there must be an in
let and outlet for the air. In bed-iooms
there is often neither, and if there is a
fire-place, it is generally closed up.
Again, it is a mistake to suppose that
foul air goes to the top, but the chief
impurity, the carbonic acid, falls tne
bottom. There is nothing so efficacious
in removing the lower strata of air, as
the ordinary open fire-place, especially
if there Is a fire burning.
A Hint to Mothers.—One of the
groat dangers attending the use of the
various sedatives employed in the nur
sery, is that they tend to produce the
opivm habit. These quack medicines
owe their soothing aud quieting effects
to the actiou of opium, aud the infait
is by them given a morbid appetite for
narcotic stimulants. The offering tor
sale of such nostrums 9houid he pro
hibited, as tending to tlie moral and
physical deterioration of the race. In
India mothers give to £ their infaits
sugar-pills containing opium, and tie
result is a languid, sensual race of de
bauchees. In the United States tbjj por
sonous dose is administered under an
other name, but the consequences will
probably be the same.
Milk Rolls.—These rolls can be
served hot or cold. They are made with
one pound of flour, one ounce of buttsr,
one ounce of sugar, a full teaspoon'ul
of baking powder, about a pint of milk
and a pinch of salt. To the flour aul
the 8*'lt, sugar and nutter, and mix wed
by working with the lingers. Then in
troduce the baking powder and tnilk,
and knead quickly. Cut the lump ol
dough into six or eight pieces, form
into rolls, cut each roll slightly over
the top twice, place on a slightly floured
pan, and bake for fifteen minutes in a
very hot oven. When done, brudi the
top with the white of an egg or milk,
sprinkle with fine sugar, and place it
in the oven one minute.

Epigram of Lamb.—Braise a piece of
breast oi lamb in a stew -pan, with a
little w’ater and some onions, carrots,
celery, whole pepper, salt, cloves, par-
slev and sweet herbs to taste. When
sufficiently cooked to allow it, pull out
all the bones and put the breast between
two dishes, with a heavy weight on it.
The piece of breast being quite cold and
flat cut it into small cutlets, egg anJ

green peas.
Mushroom Pudding.—Clean a quart
of fresh u.ushroonis, cut them in small
pieces, mix them with half pound of
minced ham or bacon, season with a tea
spoonful of salt, and half a saltspoonful
of pepper; spread them on a roly-poly
crust, made by mixing one pound of
flour, half a pound ot shortening, and a
teaspoonful of salt, with about one pint
of water; roll up the crust, tie it
tightly in a floured cloth, and boil it
about two hours in boiling stock or
salted water; serve hot writh bread or
vegetables.
For Pudding Sauce.—In making any
sauce put the butter aud flour iu to
gether, and s it will never be lumpy.
A Snake with a Head at Both Ends.
One day last week Mr. Will Bosley,
while at w ork on his farm at Oaking-
ton, Harford county, discovered a black
snake, which he made haste to kill. On
examining the reptile, after liediad kill
ed it, it was found to measure about
four feet in length and had two heads,
one on each end, and both regularly
proportioned. The animal was noticed
to run backwards and Mr. B. says tha*

schools, discovered by Db. Silsbee, a regular
phvsi ian. and need successfully in thousands
of cases. Sufferers who *»ave tried overruling
else in vain, will find im.ts.nt relief and perma

Lucid, Very.—The proprietor of a
restaurant was standing at his door
the other morning, when a rather ques
tionable looking man paused to speak
to him.
“Good morning,” said the restaura
teur, pleasantly ; “you look bright this
morning.”
“Yes, sir.”
“I guess you got up before breakfast
this morning, eh ?”
“No, sir, I did not; I got up after
breakfast,” replied the pilgrim iu hum
ble tones.
“You got up after breakfast, did
you?” inquired the man of meals, ra
ther sarcastically.
“Yes, sir; I got up after breakfast.”
“I would like to know how you did
it?”
“You would, eh?”
“Yes, sir, I should.”
“Well, you see 1 got up this morning
at 7 o’clock, and 1 ain’t had nothin’ to
eat since breakfast yesterday mornin*.”
The hotel man seemed perfectly satis
fied.
She Didn’t.—It was plain enongh to
all the other passengers on the ferry
boat that the two were in love and en
gaged, yet the girl seemed to doubt his
fervor just a little. Therefore, as the
boat reached midstream, she leaned
over and tenderly said.
“Johnnie, I am going to test your
love. I am going to jump ouerboard,
and if you really love me, I know you
will jump after me and save me.”
“Yes, I’ll jump after you,” he slowly
replied, but, but—”
“But what, Johnnie?”
“But if L were you I’d takeoff my
shoes first. Just the minute they haul
you out of the water every woman in
this crowd will rush to see whether
you wear No. 2’s or No. 5’s, and if you
are in your stocking feet tney can’t get
the size.”
The girl drew her feet under her
chair, ighed once or twice and did not
regaiu her enthusiasm until the boy
came along with peanuts.
The Shah of Persia is said to be some
thing of an artist. When he paints a
picture in which a camel in the back
ground is higher than a tree in the fore
ground, and the old mill on the left is
not as large as the dog on tbe right,
and the perspective shoots up against
the sky with the suddenness of a tall
telegraph pole, and when he sends the
canvas to the 148th annual exhibition,
the hanging committee never hang it
above the line. Not even hardly ever.
They would soon be a headless com
mittee if they did. They give the
Shah’s picture the best position in the
gallery, and the critics speak of its
wonderful lights and shades, its re
markable depth of tone, artistic group
ings, and breadth of feeling. Tney
make the Shah believe he is a Vernet,
Reubens, Raphael and Messonier rolled
into one. It would prove very un
healthy for them if they didn’t. A
critic once rashly hinted that one of the
Shah’s pictures lacked feeling. A few
hours later the critic lacked feeling. He
also lacked a head. He died.
’Jes So.—The old gentleman who
threw the paper down the other morn
ing with the impatient ejaculation, “O,
there’s nothing in it!” and went out to
look at his garden, was the same one
who, coming back half an hour later,
and discovering that his wife had cut
up the paper into patterns, thereupon
ripped around like a yellow-jacket,
broke an important commandment ami
a window pane by kicking a cat through
it, turned over a bucket of clabber on
the new carpet ani the new baby, and
finally departed with a slam of tbe^door
that clattered the crockery to the utter
most parts of tlie house, and with a
withering malediction on “these gawl-
busted women, anyhow!”
Honored and Blessed.— When a
board of eminent physicians and chem
ists announced the discovery that bv
combining some well known valuable
remedies, ti’ie most wonderful medicine
was produced, which would cure such
a wide range of diseases that most all
other remedies could be dispensed with,
many were sceptical; but proof of its
merits by actual trial has dispelled all
doubt, and to-day the discoverers of
that great medicine. Hop Bitters, are
honored and blessed by all as benefac
tors.
A Jersey printer w ill join the grand
army of tramps this year. The editor
wrote an item about the curiously-
formed branch of an apple tree aHd
headed it “A Queer Shaped Limb.”
Then he wrote another paragraph about
a young lady who was walking 3,000
miles in 3,000 hours, and headed it
“Female Pedestrianism.” The printer,
in making up the form, mixed those
titles up—got the tree head over the
walking paragraph—and now' he is an
outcast and a w’anderer—and limps.
He sprained his ankle in jumping out
of the second-story window.
Brown to Jones—“You missed it by
leaving us at the beach t’other after
noon. Champagne was excellent, and
Fot better after you left.” Jones—
“Fact is, I had to get back to the store
to look after the boys, and. just as I ex
pected, when I got there I found every
thing topsy-turvey.” Brown—“Myex
perience exactly. When I got home I
found iny wife and hired-gi*ri standing
on their heads, and the house spinning
around like atop.”
Judge Black’s Jokes.—Jndge Jere.
Black, turnons in contemporary history
and law, has long worn a black wig.
Having lately donned a new’ one, and
meeting Senator Bayard, of Delaware,
the latter accosted him: •Why, Black,
how young you look; you are not so
gray a3 1 am. and you must be twenty
years older.” “Humph,” said the
judge, “good reason; your hair comes
by descent, and I get mine by pur
chase.”
True economy, Is not baying the low

So with Dobbins’ Electric Soap, (made

lest it for themselves.
A party of Irishmen went into a
clothing store to buy a suit of clothing
in which to burv a dead comrade. All
varieties of garments were examined
and discussed by the mourning friends,
but none could be decided upon until
one of the party held up a light, thin
suit, saying; “Begorra, let’s take
this, boys; it’s nice and thin and cool,
and poor Pat will find it mighty com
fortable.”
A sweet scented young tulip you
are, Caleb, not to know what is meant
by “hugging a delusion.” Hugging
a delusion hieans embracing a pretty
girl who is ready to go back on you
just as soon as she finds another fellow
that suits her better than you do.
You ought to be ashamed to con less
your ignorance in such an unblushing
manner.
A dressmaker who was at the point
of death recovered, and the local paper

A Bad Man.
A friend, while on a recent visit to San
Francisco, stopped at the Palace Hotel and
made a practioe of dropping into the bar
room of an evening, it being a retired and
rather high-toned place. One evening the
Comstacker lounged into the bar-room and i
was pleased to behold there, as the only oc- 1
cupants, Senator Sharon, Seth Cook, Tom
Sunderland, and a few other historic capi
talists sitting at a large round table, in the
centre of which 9tood sundry bottles bear
ing the mystical word “Roederer.” Pres
ently a middle-aged man, soberly dressed
in black broadcioth and wearing a plug hat, !
staggered in from the hallway, and, lurch
ing up to the bar, yelled for everybody to
come up and have something to drink. The
Sharon-Cook party paid no attention to the
boisterous new arrival, but quietly went on
with their gossip and Roederer. Giving a
furious whoop and smashing his tile down
on his head the stranger performed a war-
dance to the middle of the room and declared
he was a bad man, and always made it a
practice to strew upon the floor the bowels
of any person who declined to drink upon
his invitation. To point his remarks, the
stranger wound up by drawing an eighteen
inch Arkansaw tooth-pick from the back of
his collar and advanced upon the table.
There was a stampede. When the Virginian
peeped up from behind the bar, to which
position he had quietly and calmly walked
at the beginning of tbe trouble, he perceived
that Sharon and his friends had gone out
and that a policeman was lugging the war
like stranger out of'the place.
“Who is he ?” asked the Virginia man
of the bar-keeper.
“Oh, he’s a good enough man when he
isn’t in liquor,'’ replied the man of drinks,
nervously polishing the rosewood bar with
a towel. “He was one of the quietest men
I ever saw when he first came here about
two days ago, but he’s bad when he’s full. ”
__ “From Bodie, I suppose ?” suggested the
Virginian.
“Bodie? No. He’s from Boston.
He belongs to that Sunday school excur
sion party/’

HOME MEDICINE
Mr. Hmckes Bird gives in print some \
valuable suggestions with regard to the
planting of the Eucalyptus-tree in Cy
prus, and vaunts the power of the blue
gum in drying up marshes. He thinks
that the malaria of the Paphian isle ,
can be forthwith removed by planting
forests of Eucalyptus. As Cyprus is j
almost treeless, there can be no harm j
in carrying out the suggestion, albeit it I
wants novelty. At tlie present moment !
the reputation of the Eucalyptus stands j
very high. It dries up the marshes, j
disinfects the air, and supplies the ma- j
terial for a comforting cordial. Let it
be planted in Cyprus by all means, |
when we have ascertained who is to
pay the cost of rcclotbing the shadeless j
isle with grateful leafage.
