During a trille of o\er one hour of con

recently, an average sized bundle of
cigarettes was entirely consumed by the
novelist in rapid succession. Mr. Ste
venson iias entirely ruined his health by
the practice, and both of his lungs have
been impaired beyond medical skill solely
by the constant inhaling of the deadly
smoke. He is frankly conscious of the

An Egyptian Fapyrua.
Lejisins, the director of the Egyptian
department of the royal museums of Ber
lin, Germany, a very famous Egyptolo
gist, at his death left a remarkable papy
rus which he had obtained from an
English lady, Miss Westcar. According
to its language it was written about the
seventeenth century before Christ, the
period of the delivery of Egypt from the
rule of the Ayksots (Jews?). It measures
nearly two yards in length and is about
fourteen inches high. On one side it con
tains nine, on the other three, columns of
an average of twenty-six horizontal lines

Nevertheless, the recitals have been read
and sufficiently restored to become intel

One of the tales is that King Snofru
was sad of heart, and on the advice of
Zezemonch, tlie priest and reader to the
king, hail a boat manned by twenty
beautiful ourstvomen and went on a voy

drop a previous jewel of malachite into
viie sea, and was so overwhelmed with
grief that she dropped her oar and the

resumed its journey. Another legend of

power at homes has attracted no little at.
tention at different times within the last
three months. There was no cable at

tained within itself. It was tbe experi
mental application of tha Jalien electric
storage battery system with a view to
substituting it entirely for the use of
horses.
An officer of the railroad company said
today: “Yes, we are and have been for
some time making experiments with an
electric motor on our street cars, and we
are bound to adopt it if we can find it
ricable and economical. The car that
been seen along our lines lately ia
fitted up with the Julien motor and stor
age battery, and is only in experimental
use at present. So far, we are very much
pleased with its working; there are many
things to be considered before the final
adoption of a new system liko that. We
must learn try actual use what the wear

as well aa the strength and power of the
battery ruder all circumstance* that it is
likely to meet
’We must also be sure of the approx
imate cost of charging the battery. You
see the the battery has to be charged
from a dynamo, which has to be run by
engine. Up to this time we have
. rged it from our ordinary electric
light dynamo, and have used an engine
that is in constant service for many pur
poses, so we have had no opportunity to
calculate the probable coat far charging
the battery. But we axe eittabltahlng a
plant, consisting of an engine and
dynamo, which we shall use in connec

during the winter for the sole purpose of
arriving at some definite idea of the cost
in case we should equip the road with
electric motor power. Then, too, wo
must ascertain how everything will work
in winter when the conditions are so dif
ferent. If the experiment turns out sat
isfactorily during the winter there is lit

The Moqoette Beetle.
Have you heard of the moquette beetle!
Not Well, I was introduced to him tho
other dsy in a local jewelry store on Elm
place. He is a Mexican animal and ho
lives on decayed wood. He is of the sizo
and shape of a peanut shell, has tho samo
color except for a few minute black
specks on the yellowish white ground.
He has two block horns and nz black
legs, like thoso of our cricket, and be
Clings very tight to anything he gets bold
of, for be wears spikes in his boots and
uses them with great freedom. For a
long time nobody in Mexico knew pre
cisely what the moquetto beetle was
created for, but the year before lost eomo
genius discovered that he wrjt made to
walk upon tho necks of society holies.
The women of Paris took him in hand
at that time and had him harnessed with
very minute gold chains of about six
inches in length. A belle gives the beetle
ono end of the chain and fastens the
other by a tiny hook to that part of her
dress which is cut decollete. Then she
lets him roam at will. No Brooklyn
woman has as yet been found to copy
this latest French craze, hut the fact that
it is French overawes all the ladies who
look at the beetle and contemplate it as
on ornament. They have not been able
to brace their courage up sufficiently to
permit of their wearing the moquette
yet, but they have looked him over in
tbe jewelry store and pronounced him

I am now on my fourth bottle, and 1 am

“ ‘Have I any objection to the publica

as I was, and that they will believe, try

I began using the remedy which made
me whole again—Hunnicutt’s Rhea

TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS.
Mra. SJ2. Barton, of Varner,
Heading Matter for Children.
Tho wonder grows that children do not
early become mental dyspeptics, with all
that is set before them nowadays in the
way of books. There is no longer either
any bread and butter and apple sauce diet
or reading for them. The good old fash
ioned times when they ato light suppers
and went to bed with the sun are departed
with the day when a simply bound pic
ture book and a primer fnnrUWi them
with reading matter fi om one Must mas
to another. Stories are served tlfSn now
in puff paste and highly seasoned, and
their little brains are surfeited, like their
6tomachs, with too much of both litera
ture and candy. Children were happier
and sweeter—there is no doubt about it
—before these days of riotous plenty.
And yet. now and then, we take up a
book which is neither liko puff paste nor
curry powder—a wholesome work, which
will amuse and instruct at the same
time, and is not too elegantly bound to
interfere with much handling. —Chicago
Journal.
Tarratlne Indians In Maine.
The remnant of the once great Tarra-
tino tribe of Indians, who live on an isl
and in the Penobscot, twelve miles nbovo
Bangor, Me., are perhaps more civilized
and adopt more generally the customs of
the white man than any other tribe.
They live in neat dwellings of their own,
farm, work in the woods and drive logs
on the river, earning good wages, and
dress as well or better than many white
laborers. Sometimes the dusky damsels
of the tribe come out in n-splendent tog-
gety, as happened the other night when
there was a big wedding on the island.
Joseph Shay and Jennie Coley were the
tippy couple, and tho bride appeared
radiant in a robe-of delicate blue brocade
satin, trimmed with cream Spanish lace
and cream satin ribbons, while one of tbe
wadding gnests wor. peacock blue surah
silk and satin, with overdress of Oriental
tace. The wedding reception was fol
lowed by a hall, at which many hand
some costumes were seen.—Chicago Her

a valuable property. The one used most
by grain speculators netted ito owner D

cerns otvn exclusive codes. Probably the
most elaborate commercial code in the
world is published in New York, end it is
really a model of ingenuity. It contains
100,000 words, drawing upon every lan
guage in Europe. It is arranged in tables
in such a manner that a Chicago mer
chant may communicate through it with
twenty or thirty European correspond
ents, using practically a different cipher
for each. Half a dozen kinds of business,
with their peculiar phrases and expres
sions, are covered by this book, which ia
sold at $50 a copy. The military cipher
used by the army during the rebellion,
which eluded all attempu by the Confed
erates to fathom its secrets, was for many
years after tho warused by a well known
detective agency.—Chicago News.

Aa Important Dlaeoverr.
A journal published in Rome gives an
account’of a recent discovery which has
especial interest. In the course of ex
cavations beneath the church of the
Apostles SL John and St Paul the work
men discovered two apartments of a
-- 'set— the Fourth century, ono
of which; seven meters long by four
wide, was believed to be the tablinum.
“The most curious feature was that in
the tablinum, in addition to pagan point
ings in tho taste of Hie time, such os
animals, hippocampi, festal scenes and
allegorical decorations, there were other
paintings of a Christian character. One
represented Moses taking off his <eind«l«
to ascend the mountain and receive the
tablets of stone, a design to that
in a long robe, a veil on her head, a
collar of pearls around her neck. This
ia the first time that there have been
found in a Roman house, in its “noble”
part, paintings in the Christian senti
ment—paintings which up to the present
time have been met with only in the
catacombs.”—Public Opinion.
Growth of the Telegraph.
The development of the telegraph sys
tem in this country is one of the marvels
of modem civilization. From a mere ex
periment on a single wire between Wash
ington and Baltimore in 1844, within the
memory of many persons yet living, it
lias grown to be one of the governing
forces in our philosophy of material and
social progress. The Western Union
company alone now baa 580,000 miles of
wires, and the messages which it handled
during the year ending June '30, 1887,
reached a total of 47,894,530. These
figures indicate at a glance the practical
value of the invention, and the clo60 re
lation which it bears to tho daily affairs
of life in every direction.—Bankers’
Monthly.

That was a pretty fight on tbe East
Pennsylvania Railroad between a loco
motive and a bull, There was only one
round, which lasted about ten seconds,
bnt we venture to say that no other bull
on the planet, not even one of tbs Wall
street kind, was ever so surprised as that
He tore along the track in front of the
engine fore while, and then, conclud
ing that he would settle tbe question ef
right ot way, turned, lowered his horns
and juat “went for” that locomotive,
which had a speed of aav twenty-five
miles an hour. The crash was some
thing terrible, but the bull went up into
the air en an exploring expedition and
landed in e field on the ether aide of e
stone wall. Aa he stood faxing at the
engine he had e bewildered look in his
tearful eye, aa though he had been aud-
rieply hit by aomathing, but exactly
what he didx’t kri.Ojr.
