AN APPETITE FOR GLASS.
How tlie Alleged Glass Eaters Deceive
the Credulous Public.
Several gentlemen were discussing the
other evening at an uptown cafe the pe¬
culiar appetites that museum freaks have
lately displayed for glass. They were
wondering if the sharp particles were di¬
gested, and one of the party said that the
whole thing was a ‘Take.”
“Why,” said the knowing one, “the
trick is ancient. I've seen it done hun¬
dreds of times, and can do it myself.
You don’t believe it, eh? Well to satisfy
those of you who doubt my veracity, I’ll
do the trick. ”
A very thin glass, of the kind in which
seltzer is usually served, was brought,
and the amateur freak called for a glass
filled with water. While the audience,
which had increased in size, was wonder¬
ing what was to come next, the gentle¬
man coolly picked up the thin glass and
deliberately bit off a piece, which he
chewed with the utmost complacency.
When it was reduced to the proper fine¬
ness the performer picked up the glass of
water and, to all appearances, washed
down the rather unpleasant dish with
apparently < much satisfaction as if the
particles of glass were delicate bits of
turkey and the clear beverage cham¬
pagne. It was noticed, however, that
lie did net drain tlie glass. Everybody
looked at him in perfect astonishment
and some, of his friends, thinking it was
an act of bravado wltich might provo
fatal, wanted to send for a physician.
“Never mind calling a doctor,” said
the trickster, laughing heartily as the
mystified expressions on ' their faces
changed to looks of abject terror; “I’m
all right, and now I’ll expose the trick.
Of course none of you believe I swallowed
the glass, but the question is what be¬
came of it.”
He then took up the glass from which
he drank, and, putting a handkerchief
over another tumbler, poured its con¬
tents into the empty receptacle. Wnen
the straining was finished the handker¬
chief held hundreds of fine ]u.rticks of
glass.
“Now you fellows want to know how
the small pieces of glass got ir.io the
tumbler, don’t you?
“In the first place there *3 little danger
in chewing the glass if ona is careful,
but it requires a good deal of practice to
eject it without being detected. If you
watched me close-h you saw that when
I put the water to my lips my upper lip
was laid over the rim, and before I
drank a drop ail the pieces which were
under that upper lip were almost at the
bottom of the water. To lx* sure one
must be careful not to swallow any of
the pieces with the water, but that can
fie done by closing the teeth. The finer
the glass used the less fear there is of its
being detected iu the bottom of the
tumbler.”
Several of the audier.ee tried to do the
trick, but gave up in despair when their
tongues and gums were our. by the par¬
ticles of glass. It is, however, becoming
very popular for blooded young men to
bite pieces out of their glasses, and the
time may come when a piece of glass for
chewing purposes may he included in the
bill for refreshments.—New York Even¬
ing Sun.
A Novel Necktie.
The manager of one of the large Chi¬
cago wholesale houses in the line of gen¬
tlemen’s furnishings, shows a novel
necktie which he has just received from
Texas. It is a rattlesnake skin, made up
in the form of a four-in-hand tie. The
point-rattle is set in the center of the
outer fold—to serve the purpose of a tie¬
pin. As it glistens and shows all sorts of
shifting colors in the •■un light or gaslight
it makes a very attractive, if not exactly
conventional, .tie. The owner says that
it was sent to him as a sample, the sender
saying that, as the stock of rattlesnakes
in his country is inexhaustible, ho can
supply as many of these .strange ties as
the Chicago house may want.—Chicago

This is a greater mortality than
Griffin has ever shown, 75 or SO be-
ing the usual total. As there was
epidemic or special sickness last year
to cause such an increase, it must
arise from a large increase of
tion, leaving the percentage of
about the same.
The Trouble in I he Jonesboro P. 0.
Washington Cor. Atlanta Journal
The trouble in the Jonesboro post
office remains unsettled and no op
pointment of a postmaster has beeu
made to succeed Mr. Elijah T Haines,
the deposed official, although nnmer
ously signed petitions in favor of J.
L. Waldrop and John Monday have
beeu received and placed on file.
The differences which led to Mr.
Haines’ removal occurrc I in his re
ports of the cancellation of postage
stamps. It appears that the Jones
boro postoffice pays no regular sala
ry, but the compensation of the post
master is based on the number of
stamps cancelled. A commissson or
percentage is allowed postoffices of
this class fixed by the amount of bus
iness they do. When an office is
■suspected a watch is at once set upon
it and all letters delivered to it are
precisely counted by the mail agents
on the railroad or railroads delivering
to it and if the office i.self is a dis
trihuting offico all post officials re
ceiviug from it are enlisted to count
and record the mail that may be re
ceived from it or originate in it.
By this simple process and a compari
son of these reports with the reports
of the suspected office any defalca
tion is readily detected. This watch
is sometimes kept up for months be
fore an inspector is dispatched to
make investigation, and in order
that uo error of count may be plefld
ed by the suspected officials. It was
so in this Jonesboro case. The re
ports from the office indicated an unu
sua! cancellation. It was placed un
der surveillance, and for several
months a careful estimate was kept
of its business until the evidence
was so unmistakable that, the rernov
»l followed. In justice to Mr. Haines,
who appears to be a peison of good
character, it is said that he did not
give his personal attention to his
duties, and it is charitably believed
that the reports sent into the Wash
ingtoii office were made up without
bis connivance. The amount of his
shortage is estimated to be 1600, or
about the sum of his yearly compen
sation.
Especially to Women.
“Sweet is revenge especially to
women,” said the gifted, but in naughty, bad hum
Lord when Byron. he Surely wrote be such was words. But
or
there are complaints that only women
suffer, that are carrying numbers of
them down to early graves. There is
hope for those who suffer, no matter how
sorely, or severely,in Di. R. V. l'ierce’a

tion it is a hies ing, to wo-

suffer, the housebrld is askew.
This Year’s Weather.
It is an old saying that the twelve
days following Christmas will govern
the weather of I he twelve months of

observing the weather from Christ
mas to Janiury 5tb, inclusive:
The first half uf January will be
cloudy and rainy, the second half
fair.
From February first to about the
20th will be wet the remainder of
the mouth dry.
The first half of March will be
wet, the latter half fair.
The firs! half of April will be raioy,

THE OLD SQUIRREL RIFLE.
The Ancient Arm of a Kentucky Hunter.
Loading a Flint Dock Gun.
I will describe the genuine ancient *
Kentucky squirrel rifle, sketches of which
I have in my possession, made from the
best models.
The barrel is four feet long and nearly
an inch in diameter, while the boro is but
little larger than a common round lead
pencil; just great enough, in other words,
to take, into it a round leaden bullet of
about ciio-lenth of an ounce avoirdupois
in weight, The stock is of curly maple,
elaborately carved out of a single piece of
wood, and extends from the semi-circular
brass heel plate to the brass half ring of
mounting under the fore tip of the barrel.
What is called tho “drop,” or bend of tha
breech, is very slight as compared with
the fashion of the latest guns; indeed,
some of the old guns have almost straight
stocks and most of them have a grease
pot either opening in tlie heel plate or in
the left side of the stick itbar that plate.
Tlie trigger guard is of brass and fanci¬
fully curved, while the thimbles for the
ramrod are placed under tlie barrel stock,
in which is a semi-circular lomritudinal
groove that becomes a round hole in tho
wood of the lower part of tho stock.
The lock is the best model of flint and
steel mechanism, elaborately carved and
perfectly fitted into tho right side of the
stock near the lower extremity of the
barrel. The trigger is double, the pos¬
terior one setting by a hair spring ar¬
rangement, regulated by an intermediate
screw, the forward one at the least touch
releasing the hammer that tiears the flint,
which in turn strikes open the steel ^>an
and drops its spark into the priming In
the under part of the stock, just behind tho
guard, is a tiny hole into which is thrust
a small quill, probably a primary quill of
the golden winged woodpecker. Tliia
feather is used to put into the “touch-
hole’ ’ to prevent the powder from run¬
ning out during the process of loading.
The ammunition for this gun is the
finest Kentucky powder, leaden bullets
molded by hand and some strong, thin
white cotton shirting for “patching.” The
bullets are carried in a pouch, the pow¬
der in a finely carved horn, and the charge
is measured in a boar's tooth charger.
To load the gun, put the feather in the
touch hole at the pan, pour in a boar's
toothful of powdor at the muzzle and
then, spreading the [latching cloth over
the mouth of tlie bore, lay on a bullet
and press it down even with the rim of
the barrel, cut of the cloth as close to the
lead as jxwsible, and with the ramrod
pusli the missile home to its bed on (l»e
powder, Put the ramrod back in tho
thimbles, Like out tlie feather and fill the
pan with powder for priming; close the
pan and your rifle is loaded.—Maurice
Thompson.
The Man Milliners of France.
If ladies arc invading the trades and
professions which they could not before
equal rights were thought of, the men j
are avenging themselves. Most of the
and Fn . eh heir hatters shop now windows work for vie both with sexes, those j
of i v modistes in exhibition of trimmed j
hat . smart, neat, stylish, and, in short. !
tempting as they can be. A hatter said j
tome: “I wimid not venture to make
up flowers aqd flimsy stuffs into hats
and • bonnets. A woman's fancy and
light fingers are wanted for that. But I
don’t fear couq>eting with no matter
what milliner when the trimmings are
rich and solid. We keep an artist, who
has had medals in tlie Salon, to design
hats trimmed as you see them.” High
art is running into the channels into
which it flowed in the Eighteenth cen¬
tury, and w!b -h wen' left dry from the
time of the revolution up to a few years
ago. The impetus was given by the

Saving* of the Chinese.
The Chinese in California do not do-
posit their savings in our banks, but
leave their surplus earnings with somo
storekeeper for safety until they ara
ready to send the money to China. Ths
storekeeper does not pay the depositor charges
any interest; on the contrary, he
him a small sum for tr.’ ing c.ire of the
money. The result i • i f tlie prin¬
cipal merchants in San i- rai < isco have a
large amount of money iu their hands
all the time. The danger of being robbed
is very slight, as all the employes and
attaches of the store sleep there, and
there is no time, day or night, but what
some one is awake and moving about.
The money is generally kept in a fire
proof safe or vault.—Ban Francisco Cor
