CAUGHT AT LAST.
BY. 51 . < AI)V.
I never shall forget how it fared with
me twenty years ago, when, as a girl of
eighteen, I visited my friend, Mrs.
Miranda Brown, svho svith her invita¬
tion wrote me these few lines:
“It will be such an excellent time to
come, Olivia, for Mr. Silas Silkskin is
in New Y'ork making purchases for his
uncle’s store, and will he delighted to
escort you back. And I’ll never speak
to you again if you don’t come.”
This threat decided me. I awaited
Mr. Silkskin’s arrival with impatience,
and hal my trunks already packed,
when one evening some one was heard
to rap violently upon the front door—
ari unnecesiarv exertion, considering the
fact that there was a bell—and a voice
f exceeding meekness inquired of
Hi i»ly -
“Say, do you know anvliody by the
nave of O-l-i-v-i-a—Ohvy; L-doubte e,
Lee—Olivy Lee? 1 asked at the gro
ceryman’s, but he did not know; and I
went to the doctor's shop, and he said
he reckoned ’ twas here. la it?”
It was Mr. Sdkskin, who had the en¬
velope in which my friend had placed
his letter of introduction to me in his
hand. He was a small, very young man,
with a baby face; and lie smiled all over
as he poked the letter at me and said;
“Y’ou are Miss Olivy Lee, I reckon.
This was Mr. Silkskin. lie had come
to tea and to stop over all night, and to
start off in the morning, to the aston¬
ishment of my pareuts. But, not to he
outdone in hospitality by Western folk,
they welcomed him heartily; and sitting
on the sofa, he smiled at intervals and
answered, “Yes, ma’am,” and “Yes,
sir,” to every proposition. When an
inquiry was made as to Chickamahoo,
he replied, “that all it wanted was more
lalies’ society,” and then added:
“Talking of that, I swow, I’ve forgot!”
and produced a note. It was from my
friend, and read as follows:
“Dear Olivia: Bring ms on a hard-work
ing gill. Hannah has left me to be married,
Cboose an ugly one, or she'll marry in a
month. I inclose cheek for her fare.”
“Come an hour ago," said Mr. Silk
skill.
“I can got a girl," said I, remem¬
bering our Aid Society and poor Mar¬
garet, who could not get a place on
account of her unprepossessing appear¬
ance. “But Hannah married? Han¬
nah is fifty, and has been with the fam¬
ily always.”
••Ladies,” said Mr. Silkskin, “arc
scarce in Chickamahoo.”
I instantly sent a messenger to Mar¬
garet, — who was forty, red-haired,
poek-ma;ked, lame of one foot, and
blind of one eye, told her to pick up
at once and meet us at the depot in the
morning; which, to cut a long story
short, she d.d. We entered the cars,
aud began our long journey in silencs.
During its progres Margaret howled
perpetually over “the lonsomeness” of
her situation, and Mr. Silkskin »P
peared to become almost deaf and
dumb. He smiled occasionally; and
when I spoke, he said, “Y'es, ma’am,”
—that was all.
Meanwhile a portly gentleman con¬
versed with 111 c over the back of the
seat, pointing out place! of interest,
offering me newspapers and bringing
me refreshments at stopping-places.
When he asked where I was going, and
I stated the fact that my destination
wa» Chickamahoo, he said that be was
glad, for they needed ladies’ society
thcre. He was kind, respectable, old
enough to be my father, aud really re
lieved the tedium of my journey great¬
ly. As we approached our final stop
ping-place, he addressed Silas Silkskin
in these words:
• Y oung man, you take this cigar

“Engaged to that young maD I sent

“Oh, no,’ I answered.
“Ah!” said he. 4 Going to bet”
‘ Heaven forbid!” I answered.
“Very well,” he observed “I’m Sam¬
uel Price, of Chickamahoo; I’m rich, a
widower, but no children. I want a
second wife. Will you marry me?”
“Oh, no, indeed!” said I; “of course
not!
“Is that final!” he asked. N
“Y'es,” said I; “of course it is.”
“Good morning, said he. “If you
change your mind, let me know, I’m
a solid man in Chickamahoo. Y’our
friends will advise you to have me.
No offence on cither side. Good-bye.”
He shook hands; Silas relumed; the
station was reached; we alighted.

“That don’t moke no difference
here,” said Silas.
“Oh, don’t it?” asked I, ironically.
“You needn’t be so sarcastical,” said
Silas. “dm real smart, and shail hare
a store of my own. I aint to be de
I spued. Is there any prior attachment?”
| ‘-No,’’ 1 admitted, “if you must
; know.”
‘ Oh, well,” said Silas, “then you’ll
change your mind when you've seen
more of me."
“Oh, dear, no, that can’t make any
difference,” said I.
“What’s the matter with me,” asked
Silas, “that you're so short? d’ve sot
my heart on it. You're so pretty, and
your clothes fit you so good, I bet a
dollar you’ll change your mind some
day.”
“When I do I’ll let you know,”
said I.
“Very well,’’ said Silas. “I under¬
stand that that is sarcastical, too, and
as things be I’ll go. My room will be
preferable to my company. This is the
Brownses.’’
lie hclpsd mo down, smiled at me
spasmodically, and drove away. - As I
raug the bell I he ard a hubbub of voices
within, and, as the door was open, en¬
tered without further ceremony. In tho
hall stood my trunk and Margaret’s
green box. Margaret herself sat perched
,l P°o ‘t, with triumph in her one green
^ while Mrj - Browu we I )t: ia her Bo3 '
* on rocking-chair.
“What is the matter?” I asked.
Everyone turned. Greetings were
given. The explanations followed.

“Yes, yes,” said Mrs. Brown; “but

wait.”
“I’ll not thry that,” said Margaret.
“There’s many a slilip twix’ cup and
lip. And I wonder you ever say the
like to a poor gurrul like me. I’ll have
him whilst 1 have the chance.”
“Well,” said Mrs. Brown, resigning
herself to fate, “it's the way here. All
alike.”
"I looked at the six Misses Browns,
ranging in age from sixteen to twenty
six. All blushed at once.
“Yes,” said Mrs. Brown, “they were
all engaged in a week from our arrival,
And they will all be married tomorrow.

The next evening I was dancing at
the wedding. There was no lack of
partners. The gentleman greatly out
numbered the ladies. I assure you that
whe|l j ha q d anC eci four dances, I had
refused as many offers, But when I
stood up in a Virginia reel with a
native Chickamahooian he surprised
me.
“Forward to meet your partner,” sang
the leader of the dance.
YVe met.
“Y’ou’re the .prettiest girl in these
parts,” remarked tho native C’hick
amahooian.
1 retired.
“Right hand.”
“And I’m goin’ to hcv you,” said he.
“You’re not,” said L
“Left hand.”
“I’m a catch for any gal,” said he.

“I 11 take the warning,” said I.
“Both hands.”
“If you won’t have me now, when

“Never,” said I.
Our wild interchange of partners
commenced; then our gallop.
“You’d better not take a shine to
any other fellow to-night,” said lie.
“I’ll put an inch of cold steel into him,
if you do. I know my rights, I do,
and I go arme J.”
I danced no more that night. Mrs
Brown comforted me with the state¬
ment that these were Chickamahoo
ways, and that Fd like it soon, but let

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.
It is reported that a system is being
perfected whereby common ilium uitiug
gas can be made by electricity.
A course in sanitary engineering has
been added to the other courses in the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
A new material called “steel pig.”
much stronger than cold blast iron, and
less expensive thsn steel, is uow bciug
made at Sheffield, England. It is
adapted for a variety of uses for which
the ordinary iron was unsatisfactory.
; Professor G. Sormani has shown that
the flesh of animals which have died
of tetanus may be eaten with impunity,
the bacillus passing through the system
without causing special disturbance.
An animal may swallow unharmed 10,
000 times more than would kill if placed
beneath the skin. The germ itse.f is
unaffected by the digestivo ju;cc3.
Eight hundred thousand houses in
London have 4,000,000 chimneys pour¬
ing fortli the black smoke of partially
consumed bituminous coal. Add the
smoke of vessels upon the Thames and
the countless locomotives on the rail¬
ways and a volume of smudge is raised
that darkens all the bills of mortality
and hangs over the valley of the Thames
like a monstrous pestilence.
A practical test has been made of a
new ventilator, which, it is claimed,
will ventilate cars without letting in
dust or cinders. Pans under the car
are operated by the motion of the latter,
and drive air through a box containing
water, which filters and cools it, into a
central tube along the roof, and thence
through smaller, hell-mouthed tubos
into the car. Whenever the car moves,
a constant current of air is secured, even
when tho doors, windows and all other
apertures are closed.
The manufacture of the new six-inch
gun, of which 100 have ben oriered
for British laud and sea service, has
been stopped until a cartridge case of
solid drawn metal can be devised which
will stand the shock of discharge of
twelve pounds of smokeless powder,
nnd which can be used over and over
again. This tho authorities have not
yet been able to do, and the machinery
engaged in the manufacture of these
guns is all standing idle, ns well as the
guns alrenly manufactured.
Dr. T. II. Benn, in charge of tho
party investigating tlio Alaska salmon
fisheries, reports to Colonel Marshall
McDonald, United States Pish Commis¬
sioner, that they havo visited Karluk
Lake, found tho spawning beds of the
red salmon and explored all the Karluk
River, except eight miles of rapids. On
the nests of the fish wore found small
miller’s thumbs, a species of uranidea
resembling the one which proves so de¬
structive to eggs and yoUDg fish in
Eastern streams. The number of spawn¬
ing salinou was disappointing, whilo
the enemies of the fish aro numerous.
A Prosperous Chinese Ilori
A celebrity among the CL
6an Francisco is their great d<
Po Tai. He has been in this country
nearly thirty years, and has a larger in¬
come from his profession than any white
practitioner in the city. His patients
all come to the office when able, aud Li
Po Tai sits up, habited iu gorgeous silk
and brocades, in a little den of au of¬
fice overlooking the plaza, aud feels
pulses all day long. Tho patients are
mostly white people, who come to him
after a varied round of their own physi¬
cians, or at tho instigation of some
resurrected and enthusiastic patients.
Li Po Tai rests tho patients' elbows on
a blue silk cushion, and proceeds to
feel their right pulse with his three
hooked und long-clawel fingers. He
feels the right pulse to ascertain the
condition of the brain, stomach and
kidneys, and then grasps the left wrist
to find out about the heart, liver and
lung*. Although he knows practically
nothing of anatomy as our physicians
know it, he makes a wonderful diagno¬
sis of a case. He charges $10 a week
for his services, including his medicines,
and patients either come to his office
and drink the tissanes, or take pncc
nges of mysterious stuff home and make
their own hot drinks.
Li Po Tai has many notions that puz¬
zle and interest his patients.
He treats them to a severe course of
antidotes for genuine poisoning, if they
confess to ever having eaten that dead¬
ly diug. He next commands them not
to eat shellfish or uncooked fruit, to let
alone poultry, fried meats, eggs, watery
vegetables, a l liquors and everything
sour. For these thirty years Li Po Tai
has made his patients drink hot water.
Dyspepsia, cancers and tumors are his
specialties. His income from his pro¬
fession is .estimated at more than
$6000 per month.
Decay or Good Seamanship.
Sava * a writer in tlie Neio York Graph
: I happened to be down on the docks
the other , dav , J when the ° iron ship 1
Palgrave came in from Calcutta. Tne _
p a grave ° is the largest sailing ° ship
a fl oat> and she has been 105 days com
ing from Calcutta, having run out of
provisions aud water off Capo Hatteras.
The sight of the big ship reminded me
of the old ship Sea Serpent, which, unless
I am mistaken, was the last ship that
made sail from a dock and left New
Y’ork without the aid of a tug. It was
some fifteen or eighteen years ag>, aud
^he Sea Serpent laid then atone of the
Brooklyn wharf,. She was loaded
with oil bound t> Japan. There wa3
an ebb tide and a good breezfe from the
northwest. She warped herself out of
the dock head first, rau up her head
sails, paid off until she pointed at Gov¬
ernor's Is and, ran up her topsails, let
go her stern line! and litdrall/ sailed
away from her dock like the veriest cat

HfSTS FOR BALD-BEADED WOVE*.
Now. as to the treatment for incipi
cut baldness, thin spots and so forth.
This is what an eminent physician said
to a gentleman who consulted h m for
! the first named trouble
‘•Have you been accustomed to wash
your head iu soapy water?’’ asked the
I doctor.
“Yes, every morning,” was tiro reply.
“Well, that is the cause of this bald
place; stop washing, and begin brush¬
ing your hair. Use a bristle brush, and
brush for fifteen minutes every morning
and night. Y'ou may not notice auy
improvement for a year, perhaps not for
two, but be assured you will have a fine
cioji of hair, and never grow bald, if
you pursue this course.”
As fifteen minutes seems very long
while vigorously moving a hail-brush
hither and thither over the surface of
your head, it would be well to inveigle
one’s friends into assisting, wouldn’t,
it?
If the hair is falling out, remember
that it is owing to an unhealthy condi¬
tion of tho scalp. First, cut off about
two inches of the hair, next wash in
clear, cold, soft water, rubbing dry
with a crash towel; then begin the fif¬
teen minutes brushing process, and in a
few weeks you will seo the tiny spires
of new hair coming all over your head.
Beware of being tempted to the use of
any nostrum whatsoever, no matter how
plausible the advertisement thereof; all
are more or less injurious—generally
more, as you will find out to your sor¬
row if you begiu tho use of them.—
Good Uuusekeeping.
GOOD COMPLEXION.
Powders, cosmetics and creams are
all very well—that is, some of them—
as adds to the toilet, but let no woman
fancy that she can swallow a dose over
night, or daub her face and hands with
an emolient of any sort, and turn out a
beauty in the morning. Only constant
care and troublo incalculable will bring
about tho desired result.
First, let us talk of bathing. The
Turkish or Russian bath, moderately
indulged in is one of the best means for
improving the complexion and soften¬
ing the skin. The profuse perspiration
induced by the extreme heat opens the
pores and clears the skin of all deleteri¬
ous matter. A Turkish bath once a
week wi.l keep the skin in good condi¬
tion; but these baths should only be
taken by the advice or consent of the
family physician, and even then judg¬
ment should be used u.s to the length of
time to remain in tho steam room. In
addition to a Turkish bath, a salt bath
every morning is invigorating and les¬
sens susceptibility to cold. For this,
rock-salt should be used, in the propor¬
tions of one pound to four gallons of
water. If the all-over bath in salt
water is too great a shock, and it is for
— ^riiongo bath of salt water may
brisk, thorough rubbing
For any bath, the temper
IPof tlio room must be such as not
to allow any chill to follow the exposure
of the person; a glow should pervade
the whole body. — Yankee Wade.
HOW TO LIFT A CHILD PROPERLY.
In lifting a child both hands should
be used, and so placed as to clasp the
body about the waist, or hips, and the
body raised without auy force being ex¬
erted upon the arms.
Every day upon our streets can bo
seen little children just able to toddlo
along, who have to bo carried aero33
the streets and over or around obstruc¬
tions; and the torture that they some¬
times have to undergo from the thought¬
lessness of those who attend them
causes many a headache to a careful ob¬
server who feels for them. Usually,
with a hand grasped by tho mother or
other person caring (?) for the cliild, it
is hurried along faster than its little
legs can carry it, a portion of its weight
being lifted and causing a constant
strain upon the arm; when a crossing is
reached the mother takei a stronger
pull, the child dahgles by one arm un¬
til the opposite side is reached, and then
the feet are allowed to partly rest upon
the ground again. Sometime!
the process will be varied
by two persons taking tlie
child between them, and each taking a
hand, when the weight of the child will
be divided between trvo arms, which is
only one-half a! bid. But such prac¬
tices should never be allowed. The
arms of a child were never intended to
serve as handles for the puspose of lift¬
ing or carrying. Strains, dislocations
and fracture!, causing deformity and
imperfect use of arm or shoulder, or
both, result from such careless use of
the arms of the child, which were de¬
signed for the child’s U 3 e in doing
things within it! strength. It would
be impossible for a child weighing 30
pound* to so exert it! strength as to lift
that amount with one or even both
hands, and yet that is wlmt it is com¬
pelled to do ft'hen the arm* are made the
handles whereby the child is lifted.—

AMONG CANNIBALS.

the Savages.
from Explorer Luuiholtz his just returned
Queensland, Australia, says the
Pall Mall Gazette He devoted a year
to the cannibal tribes inhabiting a ter¬
ribly wild tract of country a couple of
hundred miles north of Townsville. Mr.
Lumholtz says:
“To begin with, d' n’t imagine that
because the tribes are eannibas they are
therefore loathsome the or repulsive in np- of
Pearance. On contrary many
the men are physically fane pleasing fellows, feat- and
some of the women have
cues. Then, when you call them cauni
bnls you must remember that human
flesh is a very ran* luxurv, for t liev only
eat foreign tribes. Native tribes, f
mean, for the flesh of the while man is
nasiv to their palate. He 1 ms a salty
flavor which is very lucky disagreeable for to
them.” “That was you.
• Well, no; if I were once dead it mat
tered little to me how my body was dis
posed of. Rut being without morals
and absolutely indifferent to human life
they would have killed me if they had
dared for the sake of the tobaofo and
the few odds and ends 1 had with me.
When I joined them at first they wore bit
friendly enough. They were a good
afraid of the white man, and for an inch
of tobacco apiece were willing to serve
me. Then they respected what they
called my baby gun — my tevolver
which I fired off every oil’, night. Rut iu
time their fears wore and there were
several attempts to tomahawk me, Injt
I was lucky. 1 had a splendid should hunter have
with me, who twice tried. I
shot him dead, but l was a little loath
to do so, as I was very keen about get¬
ting that specimen of tho tiger marsup¬
ial, so I tolerated him. Might shot is right of
among them. If I lmd n few
them my dangers would have been con¬
siderably lessened.”
"To resume about the man-eating, I
never saw a cannibal feast, but every
night in their huts the talk was of
women and human flesh. Those were
the stock subjects of conversation.
“Not very different from highly Lumholtz? ml
tured Europeans, Mr.
Women and cooking.” “I was able to
understand them, for 1 had learnt the
language, and I gathered that xvluto
man was no good too salty. China¬
man was not half bad. He fed on r.ee,
and had a tender vegetable flavor about
him, like a men’y cauliflower. But of
all varieties there was nothing ho sweet
as a i ative baby—so sweet, so juicy, so
fat, so tender. Old men and women
were naturally tough and sinneny.
And the favorite parts were the thigh
and the flesh of the hand. The cannibal
b acks have no religion, no ceremonial,
no idols, and the only approach ton ped
charm was a bit of human fat writ'
up in grass and tied round the neck as
good luck to your hunting.
“If you want a wife, handkerchief, nndliavejmoney,
which is tobacco, or a tell or
a tomahawk—I should you that
these articles pore ilato through the
densest bus!;, and over the wildest
ranges—you can buy a wife. You may
inherit a wjfe by agreement. You may
get your dead brother’s wife, but the
commonest method of acquiring a wife
is to go and help yourself. If you lire ii
big follow you wa’k into tho hut and
take tlie liulv. Then there is a row, and
you }ia*-e to fight a duel with n wooden
broadsword, and tho women come down
to the tight and howl and screech and
back their men. and there is a terrible
to-do. It is th o women who cause all
the rows, all the wars, a 1 the feuds. It
is always some Helen and some I’ariB.”
“And do the ladies like and a don’t change of
husbands ?” “They go, seem
to mind it in the least.” “How do the
men regard the women, then .” “As

remarkable filings that the old men have
alwav s the prettiest wives. There aro

the old men are consulted, and that is
why the old men are the most influen¬

Good Rules.
Learn your business thoroughly. Keep
at one thing; in no wise change. Al¬
ways be in haste, but never in a hurry.
Observe system in all you do and under
take. Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing well. One to-day is worth
two to-morrows. Be self-reliant; do
not take too much advice, but rather
depend upon yourself. Never fail to
keep your appointments or to be punct
ual to the minute. Never be idle, but
keep vonr mind or bands usefully em¬
ployed, except when sleeping.
