The Tnsiuauian Devil.
The animal known in Australia as
the Tasmanian devil is one of the only
two survivors of what must atone time
have been a widely distributed class of
animals, to judge from the fossil re
mains already found in many parts of
Australia. Like nearly every mamma
lian quadruped of the continent, the
devil is a marsupial, but with the soli
tary exception of the so called Tasma
nian wolf he is the only surviving mar
supial animal that is carnivorous and
may be regarded as a beast of prey.
The devil is now very scarce and will
soon be extinct, but in the early con
vict days of the island —when Tasma
nia. then called Van Dieman’s Lund,
was the penal settlement for the worst
class of British convicts —they were
plentiful, and many ghastly stories
were afloat of their attacks upon escaped
convicts who had taken to the bush.
It is believed that the name of devil
was bestowed on the animals Irj? the
convicts, who had learned to look upon
them with almost superstitious fear,
partly in consequence of their appewt
ance, but still more owing to their un
tiring perseverance in following up an
enemy to the last with what looked like
undying hatred. No specimen has ever
been found on the continent of Austra
lia. —Lippincott's Magazine.
BrntalitioM nt Sea..
In The Pall Mall Magazine W. Clark
Russell quotes the instructions given by
the Earl of Lindsay in 1635 to his cap
tains:
“The keynote is struck with the de
votional spirit of the age. The chief iu
command is to take care that all the
officers and companies of the ships
worship God twice a day. Swearing,
drunkenness, robbery, sleeping on watch
and the like were to be punished ac
cording to the order and custom of the
sea. Punishments were brutally severe
in those times. They marooned—that is,
they set a man ashore alone on a deso
late coast or island and left him to
starve, to be destroyed by savages or
wild beasts.
“They keel hauled—that is, they
dragged a man naked by yard arm
whips under the bottom of a ship, and
drew him up raw and bloody with the
hafth wounding of barnacles and spike
like adherences, only to be submerged
ere the unhappy miscreant could
fetch a full breath. They nailed a man
to the mainmast by driving a knife
through his hand. For murder (that
was often manslaughter) they tied the
living to the dead, back to back, and
threw them overboard.”
Hat PrognoHticatorH.
The old superstition, which has grrstvn
into an adage, that rats desert a ship
which is no longer seaworthy, is still
an article of faith with the fresh water
sailors of the great lakes. Sundry well
authenticated instances seem to justify
this belief. Here is one. The Vernon
was a three master which did a tramp
business. Built in B ffalo in 1850, she
was for many years regarded as one of
the best craft on the lakes.
Late in the fall, about 15 years ago,
she unloaded a cargo of grain in Buf
falo, and reloaded with package freight
for Chicago. She was about to sail one
rough November night. Just before the
lines were let off one of the seamen saw
a rat run over the hawsers to the wharf.
In a moment another was seen. The
seamen called others of the crew to see
the unusual sight. Between 50 and 75
rats poured out of the ship and took
refuge along the wharf. The crew re
fused to sail, but the captain was ob
stinate, shipped a fresh crew and sailed
forthwith. The ship wae lost with all
hands.—Household Words.
An Empress’ Pen.
I heard an interesting fact regarding
the former empress of the French the
other night which shows in what direc
tion her thoughts run. Whenever she
has occasion to write anything about
Tier lamented husband, she always uses
the diamond pen which signed the
treaty of Paris. All those who partici
pated in this historical occasion wanted
the pen as a memento. But so keen was
the empress on possessing it that she
begged that only one pen should be
used, which she thought she had a
right to retain as a souvenir. This was
agreed to. The pen takes the form of a
quill plucked from a golden eagle’s
wing and richly mounted with dia
monds and gold.—Woman’s Life.
The Collie* and Amen.
I once witnessed a phase of prompt
evolution of practical and of devotional
religion in Scotch sheepdogs on a com
munion Sabbath among the mountains.
The churchyard was crowded with
shepherds, accompanied by their dogs,
which lay quietly asleep at the feet of
their masters. The sermon was finished,
the psalm had been sung, the final
prayer was being offered, and there was
no sign of impatience, but the moment
the benediction commenced the devo
tional doggies all roused themselves,
and before the “Amen” they were in
marching order.—“ Newman Hall,” an
Autobiography.

Orderly—Lieutenant, I take the lib

“Where have I been invited out to
dinner?”
“You have been invited to dine with
Mr. Holdfast. ’'
“So 1 have to dine with the old miser ?
I must not go there unprepared. John,
go to the restaurant and bring me two

A Tricky Butcher.
"The greatest business mind I ever
ran up against was possessedby the
former proprietor of a meat market out
in Germantown,” said a street car con
ductor the other day as his car wr.s
waiting on Front street. “This butcher
had a fine, squeaky voice, which you
could hear a block away. Tricky? Yes,
that’s just what you would call it. I
used to watch him sometimes when
he was waiting on customers, and it
was positively amusing to see the ap
parent ease with which he would make
a two pound steak weigh apparently
three or more pounds.
“He would take a couple of pounds
of meat and throw it on the scales so
that the pointer would show four pounds
and then take it off before the scales
could register the true weight. ‘There’s
just four pounds exactly, ’ he would say
to the customer in that squeaky voice
of his, and then continue with the state
ment quickly made:‘Four times 12 is
58. Call it 60, ’ and unless the customer
was watching him closely he would al
ways get even change.
“He was in the meat business only a
few years and amassed a competency.
Then he left it. What worries me is
how he is going to get along now. I un
derstand he is in the real estate business,
and I wonder how he works it when he
sells a piece of land. The scales won’t
help him much there.”—Philadelphia
Record.
The Only Time There Was,
The necessity that there shall be only
one man who “has the say” in a mili
tary command is thoroughly recognized
in the United States army. A story is
told of General Shafter which illus
trates the punctilio of the regulars in
this regard.
At a certain frontier post at which
Shafter, who then held an inferior rank,
was commander many years ago, a dis
cussion arose among several officers as
to the exact time of day. A captain,
with his watch in his hand, said:
“It is now exactly 3 o’clock.”
“Oh, no!” said a lieutenant. “By
my time it’s eight minutes past 8.”
A third young officer drew his watch
out of his pocket. “I know my time is
exactly right, ” he said, “and my watch
says two minutes past 3.”
At this juncture Major Shafter looked
at his silver watch.
“I don’t know what your watches
say,” he remarked, "but I wish you to
understand that in this command it is
five minutes past 3.”
Then the young officers remembered
that the authority of the commanding
officer extended even to the time of
day.—Youth’s Companion.
A Useful Coffin.
It may not be generally known that
the Dutch Boors at the Cape, especially
those living in remote districts where
material is expensive and labor difficult
to obtain, frequently purchase at least
one coffin beforehand which is placed in
a conspicuous position in the “voor
kamer” or principal sitting room and
utilized as an article of furniture, for
ornament or as a receptacle for clothing
and other oddments.
One farmer well known to the writer
possesses a beautifully finished article
of this sort which he purchased about
30 years ago. During that period he has
buried three wives each of whom had
to be content with coffins of the com
monest material and roughest work
manship while his own awaiting its
possessor stands in all its luster of pol
ished teak and silver mountings.
For tho present the old gentleman
uses it as a couch for his midday nap in
order, as he sometimes remarks with
grave humor, that he may get accustom
ed to it. —Cape Times.
A German Word Serpent.
A German correspondent comes to the
rescue of his countrymen, concerning
whom we expressed surprise that they
should prefer to use a word of four syl
lables when another word expressing
the same thing in 40 syllables was
available. He sends us a copy of The
Kolnische Volkszeitung, in which oc
curs a sentence of 607 words, occupy
ing 69 lines of the newspaper.
This word serpent occurs in a legal
judgment, and even tho printers got to
hate it after setting up about 450 words
of it. So they put in a full stop, which,
like a rifle bullet in the spine of a boa
constrictor, killed the whole sentence.
But it must really be nice to have news
papers in which you can begin to read
a sentence at breakfast, continue it in
tho train and triumphantly reach the
verb at office.—London Globe.
Experienced.
“Have you made up your mind just
what qualities you expect to find in a
husband?” asked the matron.
“Why, of course,” answered the
maid.
“Too bad,” commented the matron
with a sigh.
“Why do you say that?” demanded
the maiden.
“Oh, I always hate to see young girls
disappointed,” answered the matron. —
Chicago Post.
* So Kindly Considerate.
“Why is it,” the daring young man
asked, “that your daughter still wears
such short dresses?”
“Oh, I keep her dressed that way, ”
Mrs. Giddibus answered, with a beauti
ful blush, “because if she had long
skirts on people would think she was
my sister when they saw us together. I
have no wish to conceal the fact that I
have a daughter who is as tall as I
am. ” —Cleveland Leader.

CITY FIRE FIGHTERS.
The Dradljr »rlln They Encounter In Sav*
ing Hiiiiinij I.lvra.
A great tenement house was burning
like tinder wood in one of the poorest
I quarters of the metropolis. The stairs ■
had gone up in smoke liefore everybody I
had left the building, and even the fire I
escape down tho outside of the building '
was cut off by the hot flames from tho
lower windows, which had already
peeled oil a jiart of it. A young girl of
14 or 15 was frantically shrieking for
help in one of the top windows, and a
mother was wringing her hands iu piti
ful despair Gov.u in the street.
The chief called for volunteers to
save the girl, and three men came for
ward on the i.istant, without hesitation
and without awaiting to count their ’
chances for success, 'ibis is the custom .
in such cases, f :• no < ne would take the
responsibility < f ord, ring a fireman to
his possible death.
A strong young fellow who had yet
to win his spurs was selected for the
task, and lie disappeared quickly
through the <’ rv,;,y of the adjoining
building. V, n next the crowd saw
him he appeari d at the window just
under the roof, and, grasping tho tin
cornice of the burning building next to
him, he swung out into the air and
made his way, hand over hand, for 30
feet through the dense smoke that rose
in black clouds from the lower windows
to the sill where tho girl was seen.
She had fallen back into tho room
unconscious and was overcome with
smoke by the time he reached her. A
thousand anxious faces in the street be
low were tortured with fear for the
hero, a hundred muttered prayers went
up tor liis safety as the fireman disap
peared into the black cloud, and a thou
sand throats sent up a lusty shout of re
lief as he appeared again at the window
a moment later with the limp form of
the girl in his arms.—Harper’s Round
Table.
THE CLOTHES OF AUTHORS.
Some Stricture® Upon the Drew of Eng
lish Literary Men.
Novelists and playwrights in sample
quantities are the latest class to come
under the basilisk eye and measuring
tape of The Tailor and Cutter. These
members of the sister profession of jour
nalism, and perhaps even the severely
judged members of parliament who
have appeared in a like connection, may
be relieved to know that the novelists
and playwrights scarcely excel them as
glasses of fashion and molds of form.
Byway no doubt of sharpening his pen,
the tailor critic begins with I. Zang
will, whose lounge suit “might have
belonged to any period during the last
ten years, “and had even reached the
stage of the “shabby genteel. ” How
ever, it is consoling to know that Mr.
Zangwill’s literary success enables him
to wear a frock coat that nearly passes
muster, even though the accompanying
trousers are too short.
Mr. Jerome, J. M. Barrie, Henry Ar
thur Jones and Hall Caine might al
most be called moderately well dressed
in a nonstylish sort of way. At all events
they avoid the shuddering solecism of
wearing a light coat and waistcoat
dark trousers, attributed to Robert
Buchanan, or the mixed styles of W. 8.
Gilbert. But. the only two memliers of
the class who unreservedly enjoy the
approval of our contemporary are Sir
Walter Besant and Clement Scott. The
former will no doubt be rejoiced to
learn that his clothes might cause him
to be mistaken for “a prosperous city
merchant,” while Mr. Scott might
‘‘easily be mistaken for a prosperous
tradesman,” says a tailor. The force of
flattery could surely no farther go.—
London Chronicle.
Gladstone’s Courtesy.
“My father,” says a Ixmdon restau
rant keeper, “was a milkman, and his
place was in the neighborhood of Har
ley street. He supplied tho Gladstone
family with milk, and I delivered it.
One day when on my rounds a thunder
storm came on as Iliad just reached Mr.
Gladstone’s house, and the rain descend
ed in torrents. I rang the servants’ bell,
but it was not promptly answered, and
meantime I was being soaked with the
rain. The front door opened, and a
kindly voice asked me to step into the
doorway, so that I might bo sheltered.
Mr. Gladstone had seen me from the
window and opened the door himself.
He also rang for the servant, so that I
might be attended to without further
delay. ”
Light and Artificial Fog.
The production of cloud by the action
of ultra violet light was demonstrated
at a soiree at the Royal society by O. T.
R. Wilson. The beam from an arc lamp
was focused by a quartz lens in a tube
containing moist air free from dust In
a few minutes a blue fog was seen to
form in the illuminated cone, and this
fog could be made to move by applying
heat to the tube locally. When the ul
tra violet rays were cut off by a sheet of
mica, no such formation took place, and
it is therefore suggested that the small
particles which give rise to the blue of
tne sky are produced by the ultra violet
rays of sunlight absorbed in the upper
layers of the atmosphere.—Engineering.
Ballt Upon » Bowlder.
There is a village in England built
upon an enormous bowlder of chalk.
This bowlder is half a mile long and
must have been carried coastward a dis
tance of 25 miles by some great iceberg.
It was dropped to the bottom of the
glacial sea, where it became partly cov
ered and surrounded by blue gray bowl
der clay.
Mrs. J. M. Bull, wife of the pastor
of toe Methodist Episcopal church at
Worthington, Mimi., supplied the pul
pit on a recent Sunday in the absence
of her husband.
