The CarlylM* Maid,
i The Carlyles had a maid who was
untidy, useless la all ways, but
“abounding in grace’* and In conse
quent censure of every one above or
below her and of everything she could
not understand. After a long apostro
phe one day ob she was bringing In
dinner Carlyle ended with, “And this
I can tell you—that If you do not carry
the dishes straight, so ns not to spill
the grnvy, so far from being tolerated
In heaven, you won't be even tolerated
on earth."
Tha Horae He Wanted.
A Scotch fanner bought a lioree. Go
ing home he thought a drink would re
fresh it, so he got a pail of water, but
ttoo animal would not take ' It. On
renching homo ho gave It a feed of
ooru, but It would not touch that ei
ther. “Ye’re the vera horse for me If
ye only work!" the farmer was heard
to say.—Dundee Advertiser.
Mortification.
“Of course, doctor, German measles
fcre seldom serious?”
“I never met but one fatal ease.”
“Fatal!"
“Yes. It was a Frenchman, and
■when he discovered It was German
measles tlmt he had mortification set
iu."
Good Manners of the Mind.
A man Is known by the company Ills

noble books, with “high erected
thoughts seated in the heart of cour

A Wonderful Fish,
The Bohemians have a proverb, “Ev
ery fish has another for prey.” The
w*'ls (allures) has them all. Tills is
the largest fresh water fish found in
t he rivers of Europe except the stur
geon. It often reaches ttve or six feet
in length. It destroys many aquatic
birds, and we are assured that It docs
not spare the human species. On the
Bfl of July, 1700. a peasant took ono
boar Thorn that had an Infant entire
in its stomach. They tell In Hungary
Of children and youug girls being de
voured on going to draw water, and
•ley even relate that on the frontiers
of Turkey a poor fisherman took one
Jhat had In Its stomach the body of
• woman, her purse containing gold
And a ring. The fish is reputed
t have been taken sixteen feet long.
Autry and Erichsen, Tonsorial Parlors.
Where can there be found
for a town the size of Jackson
a barber shop that, for excel
lency in every respect, one
which will surpass the parlors
of Jno. Autry and Albert
Krichson? They are the very
cleverest aud best fellows go
ing and can, either of them,
give you such service that will
tickle you to death. Besides
they have Jim Blackburn and
Lem Whitten with them and
they can’t be beat as workmen,
nor excelled for cleverness as
men. The shop is kept in
ship-shape condition. A shop
run, and work done by white
men is far superior to the
shops we arc accustomed to

Boston “Buffs.”
“Buffs” they call them, that ancient
and honorable body of citizens who
would rather go to a fire than get
money from home and who race to ev
ery two, three or four alarm blaze in
the vicinity of Greater Boston at any
hour of the day or night.
“Buffs? Boston Is full of them,”
said an old member of the fire depart
ment. “There must be from 800 to
1,000 buffs in the city. Most of them
wouldn’t miss a fire for any money.
Why, if we didn’t have the buff advis
ory council on the sidewalk at a blaze
to tell the firemen how to do it, we
should feel lost. We call them the
armchair engineer corps. But some
times they’re mighty useful. For In
stance, they will provide tobacco and
coffee for the regular firemen, and, be
sides this, some of them are good fire
fighters and frequently help us out
when we’re fighting a fire short
handed."
“Where did they get their names?”
he was asked.
“Buffs is derived from buffaloes. It
means a bunch who roam around. You
see these men are always lokijwp4||i
fire, so they are called buffs.”—Boston
Herald.
A Queer Tale of Japan.
In one of his letters Lafcadio Hearn
tells a strange story of the queer ways
In Japan. A peasant consulted an as
trologer about his mother’s blindness.
He was told she would get her- sight
back if she would eat a little human
liver taken fresh and from a young
body. “The peasant went home cry
ing and told his wife. She said: ‘We
have only one boy; he is beautiful.
You can get another wife as good or
better than I very easily, but might
never be able to get another son.
Therefore you must kill me instead of
the son and give my liver to your
mother.’ They embraced, the hus
band killed her with a sword and cut
out the liver and began to cook it,
when the child awoke and screamed.
Neighbors and police came. In the
police court the peasant told the tale
with childish frankness and cited sto
ries from the Buddhist scriptures. The
j edges were moved to tears. They
did not condemn the man to death;
they gave him only nine years In pris
on. Really the man who ought to
have been killed was the astrologer.”
This happened in Hearn’s own neigh
borhood while he was there.

Signature of
The Drinking Orchid.
One of the most remarkable plants*
known to horticulturists is the drink
ing orchid, which is found in Soutli
America. This orchid takes a drink
whenever it feels thirsty by means ot!
a tube which it lets down into the wa
ter. The tube when not in use is coll
ed up on the top of the plant. The
formation of the orchid is different
from others of its species, having)
sharp leaves, lane** heaji shaped, grow
ing round the root and radiating ffoni
it. From the center of the plant hangs
the tube, ‘about one-eighth of an inch
thick and one-fourth of an inch wide.
When touched it gradually contracts
and rolls itself up in a spiral-like coll.
Asa rule, these orchids are to be found
growing directly over the water or
where water has been, and in the lat
ter case it is almost| pathetic to see
how the tube will "rk its way over
the ground to a pool or river.
