Dramatic « limns to Uta Introduction to (hewing Tobacco, "A long time ago, when I was a mite of a boy,” said Edison, “I, with two other little fellows, had saved up a lot of scrap iron and tin and zinc which i we meant, to sell when the holidays cttnic around. There was a large boy in the neighborhood (I think he must have become a bunko steerer after ward) who knew of our hoard. One day when we had been in swimming be came to us and said: ‘‘‘Say. you fellows. If you will give me that tin and iron aud stuff you have, I'll teach you how to chew.' “The proposition struck us ns being very fair, particularly as he agreed to furnish the tobacco. Well, we were quite willing, so he brought some Ca nadian cut down to a sand bairk by the river. He divided the stuff into three parts and gave us each one. Then he said: “ ‘Now you must do exactly as I say, and yon must do it right away, or you'll neyer learn to chew. “ ‘Now, then.’ lie shouted, ‘hold up!’ “We held it up. “ Tut it in your mouth!' he yelled. “We put It in. “ ‘Chew!’ he hissed dramatically. “We worked away at a great rate. “‘Swallow it!' ho screeched. “We gulped it down, and then that young rascal fairly rolled down the bank with laughter, while we soon rolled down the other side, sicker, I suppose, than any of us had been in our lives before or since. One of the boys nearly died, and they had a very serious time with him, That was my first experience with tobacco.”—Phila delphia Inquirer. FRESH GOLD CROPS. Localities Where the Precious Metftl Deposits Itself Annually. There are several localities where gold may be said to grow every year w, in other words, where fresh depos its of the precious metal are to be found annually. One such district is in the Edmonton country, in the Canadian northwest, where, after the spring floods, from the same banks and ‘ benches’’ of the Sas katchewan river there are taken every year considerable quantities of gold by a few diggers, who make their living out of the business. But the most conspicuous and inter esting case of this sort is to be seen near Ichang. in the province of Hupeh, in China. For many centuries past eacli year gold has been washed from the banks of coarse gravel on both sides of the river Hau, and in the midst of the auriferous district there is an ancient town called Li-kiu-tien, which means "gold diggers’ Inn.” Its inhabitants subdivide the gold bearing ground among themselves annually, staking out their claims with parti tions. They pay no royalty and ap pear to earn no more than a bare sub sistence. But this may be doubted, as John Chinaman is an adept at "layin low and sayin nuffin.” The annual river floods bring down millions of tons of mud and sand from the mountains, and this mud and sand, which is charged with gold, both “fine” and in flakes, is deposited to a depth of six inches or more on the banks of gravel. It is in the winter that the gold is washed, and it Is said that sev en men work about 20 tons of “pay dirt” in a day.—Cincinnati Enquirer. When to Stop and Milk. “People over 50 would do well to give up milk and eggs as a diet,” said Dr. Henry M. Dearborne. “These are the structure forming foods of animals which mature in a short time, and when taken in quantities by human beings v hose structures have already formed they tend only to the harden ing ami aging of the tissues.” Dr. Dearborne said that he had seen people who were beginning to find stair climbing difficult and who were losing their elasticity much benefited by eliminating these articles from their diet. "There has been a great increase in the duration of life below the age of 50, statistics prove,” he said, “but be yond that period there has been no improvement.” In his opinion, the per son over 50 should have as good a chance to preserve life as the young child just beginning its struggle with existence.—New York Times. I’ijj Bone Bracelets. The natives of the New Hebrides islands, in the Pacific ocean, raise pigs for bracelets. The upper canine teeth of the pigs are removed, and that gives the lower tusks a chance to grow as much as they wish. The lower teeth grow, and finding no resistance, attain a good length. The teeth grow in a spiral, and the tip often lies beside the root of the tooth. Very rarely the point grows into the root of the tooth and makes a complete circle. A com plete pig tooth bracelet is a very valua ble jewel, which Is worn around the wrist or attached to a string around the throat.—San Francisco Call. Special Terms.

THE SLY POLAR BEAR. How He Get* Ilin Dinner of Sen! nr Wai run Meat. In his native home the pffktr bear does not often meet with small boys anxious to treat him to buns and other dainties. The consequence is that bruin! has to devise many curious ways of se curing his food, and Done is more strange and interesting than that relat ed by two trustworthy travelers in Greenland, that country of strange sights. They have known the polar bear to take a stone or a huge lump of ice in his fore paws and from a favorable height, as a cliff or a precipitous ice hill, to hurl the missile down upon the head of a walrus, an enormous brute often twice the size of the bear, and so stun him that bruin could rush in and complete the destruction at his leisure, thus securing a month’s rations. The most usual food of the ice bear, as the Germans very appropriately call this beast, is the common seal of the arctic regions. The latter is the wari est animal of the north, and both Eski mo and polar bear need their best strat egy to catch it. In the summer time, when the snow ia off the ice of the ocean shore and islets, the seals can be plainly seen as black dots on the ice, probably asleep, but always near their holes, which lead down through the thick ice to the water below, and into which they can throw themselves by the least movement. Bruin, seeing one afar, walks up as near as he deems safe and then begins crawling on his wary prey. The seal, if the weather be sunny and pleasant, takes short naps, relieved by shorter moments when it is scanning the vicinity for signs of an enemy’s ap proach. During these times the bear is very quiet and as still as death itself, with eyes apparently closed, though really a corner of each is kept open, and in this way he hopes the seal will take him for a heap of snow, an appearance which his coat readily helps him to as sume. During the naps he creeps forward with greater or less rapidity, according to his nearness to the seal aud conse quent fear of being beard or seen. When but 10 or 12 yards away, and the seal is in the depths of a good nap, the bear rushes upon him and with a single blow of his powerful paw knocks the smaller brute senseless and so far away from the hole that he cannot escars by that way, even if the blow received ia not immediately fatal. In winter time the ice ie covered with snow, and this is hollowed out by the seal into a snowhouse, covering the hole in the ice and connecting at the top of the dome with an aperture about the size of a shilling, called the blowhole, for it is through this that the seal breathes when he is in want of fresh air. Here the bear watches for many a long hour if necessary, and when ths snorts of the seal are heard he crushes in the fragile dome of the snowhouss with his paw, impaling the seal on his curved,claws, and proceeds to practi cally demonstrate how polar bears can subsist in a arctic winter.-—London Telegraph. It Suited. The other afternoon I was in a gen tleman’s outfitting shop when a cus tomer came in to purchase a hat. He tried on several and was evidently hard to please, the counter becoming covered with the rejected. At last the salesman picked up a brown felt bowler, brushed it round with his arm and extended it admiringly. “These are being very much worn this season, sir,’’ he explained. “Are they?’’ said the customer thoughtfully, surveying himself in the mirror, with his’ hat on his head. “Do you think it suits mo?’’ “Suits you to perfection, sir, if the fit’s right. ” “ Yes, it fits very well. So you think I bad better have it?” “I don't think you could do better, sir. ” “No, I don't think I could, so I won’t have a new one. ’ ’ The salesman had been praising up the old hat.—Pearson’s Weekly. A “Steele BarKnin." Adam Steele of Shelby county once rented a tanyard to a Mr. Jones on shares. His idea was to risk in the business only the use of his tanyard and not to incur any further liability. So be protected himself by the fol lowing safe clause in the contract: “If anything is made, the said Steele is to have it, aud if anything is lost the said Jones is to lose it.” And this is known in Shelby as a reg ular Adam Steele bargain to this day. —Lexington (Ky.)

DfiM- fTM of Trn>elinjr by Sledge Tn Siberia In Winter. Traveling by sledge in Siberia in winter has its perils, as the experience of Mr. Robert L. Jefferson and bis friends goes to illustrate. The incident is told in “Roughing It In Siberia:” We had chartered six sorry looking horses to drag us on to the next stage., It was night when we started. The driv er, maudlin drunk, had to be helped to his seat, and we set off along the narrow roadway at the usual gallop, which, however, soon dwindled into a mere shuffle through the snow. We had gone to sleep, aud some hours after our departure Gaskell woke mo and said he thought something was wrong. The sledge was at a standstill, and our shouts to the yemshik brought no response Black darkness prevailed. I bundled out of the sk< . e. so benumbed tiiat I could scarcely m .ve. I felt along the sledge, sinking to my knees in the snow. The driver’s perfli was empty, and just then I stnmlileil over one of the horses, which was lying buried up to its neck. It v»as clear tlmt the driver had fallen from his seat, and that the horses bad wandered from the track. The poor beasts were stuck fast, and a closer inspection showed one of them to be dead, literally frozen to death. If we would save ourselves from the same fate, prompt action was necessary. The other horses were nearly suc cumbing. They lay flat on their stom achs and nibbled at the snow. We cut the dead animal adrift, aud, using the spare rope as whips, we stood on either side of the living and lashed them till our arms ached. At length they moved, aud by pushing and pulling we got the sledge turned. Then, step by step, with much floundering and many falls, we began to retrace our way. All this in pitch darkness in a raw, cold wind and in momentary expecta tion of one or all of the horses dropping dead. It was a terrible experience, but we regained the road and finally reached the village. BLIND MAN’S BUFF. The Origin of This Favorite Sport of Childhood and Youth. This favorite sport of childhood aud youth is of French origin and very high antiquity, having been introduced into England in the train of the Norman conquerors. Its French name, “Oolin Maillard, ” was that of a brave warrior, the memory of whose exploits still lives in the chronicles of the middle ages. In the year 999 Liege reckoned among its valiant chiefs one Jean Oolin. He acquired the name Maillard from his chosen weapon being a mallet, where with in tight he used literally to crush bis opponents. In one of the feuds which were of perpetual recurrence in those times he encountered the Count de Lourain in a pitched battle, and, so runs the story, in the first onset Oolin Maillard lost both his eyes. He ordered his esquire to take him into the thickest of the fight, and, furiously brandishing his mallet, did such fearful execution that victory soon declared itself for him. When Robert of France heard of these j feats at arms, he lavished favor i and honors upon Colin, and so great was the fame of the exploit that it was com memorated in the pantomimic repre sentations that formed part of the rude dramatic performances of the age. By degrees the children learned to act it for themselves, and it took the form of a familiar sport. The blindfolded pursuer, as, with bandaged eyes and extended hands, he gropes for a victim to pounce upon, seems in some degree to repeat the ac tion of Colin Maillard, the tradition of which is also traceable in the name, blind man’s bluff.—Philadelphia Dress. lUn Reason. Some of the best of Dean Pigon’s sto ries come from Halifax (not Sheffield). One of these concerns his verger, one Sagar. Imagine him, a venerable figure with gray’ hair, skullcap, gown and verger’s staff. In ignorance they had married a man to bis deceased wife’s sister. Sagar, whose business it was to set tle the matter about the banns, was at once cross examined. “Oh, yes, vicar," said he, “Iknowed right well! I know ed parties. “But why did you not tell me?” I should have forbidden them.” “Well, vicar, it was just this way, do you see. One of the parties was 84 and t’other 86. I says to myself: ‘Lord, it can’t last long. Let ’em wed, and bother the laws!’ ” —London Newt A Regular Polyglot. A gentleman in a rural district drew down upon his head a storm of adverse criticism by marrying a second wife shortly after the demise of his first. Two of those good ladies who look gen erally upon the surface of things and who are ever ready with condemnation were discussing the disgraceful affair. “Why, iny dear, there’s his poor wife hardly cold in her grave, and he goes and marries another!” “Dreadful 1” de clared the other. “I never heard of such a thing. ” “I should think not indeed,” went on No. 1 angrily. “Mar rying wife after wife like that—why, the man’s a regular poiygot 1”—-Oornhill Magazine 1 he Lnnt of the Patches. I was born in 1837, and I have per sonal recollections of a lady in the early forties using them. The curate of lodged in a farmhouse contiguous to my father’s place. His wife was a tall, fine, handsome woman, dressed in black when I first saw her, and had patches— “beauty spots” they were called—on her forehead, cheek (left, I think) and chin. I told my mother on returning home, and she replied they were “ beau ty spots" and “in the fashion." I have a most vivid recollection of seeing her and her husband on the occasion.
