Genre, Alligators and Desolation. Tie prairie land which covers a con ; siderable portion of the Oltefenokee swamp is a very remarkable formation, and is, I am told, peculiar to this swamp. It is open land, entirely free from tira- iier, and stretching away as far.as the eye can reach tn every, direction. It haa moat of the characteristics of a hnge in land sea except the waves. Interspersed here and there in this huge prairie are small patches of high, dry ground of variable sizeund heavily timbered, called cow houses, i um unable to ascertain the propriety of this name, nnless it* be that the cattle, deer and other animals seek these places for shelter and to get out ot ilie water. . The Nurture of these prairies is cov ered with a deposit of decayed vege tation that lias been accumulating for centuries, and is called muck. This varies in thickness from four to ten feet, with water beneath, and below the water sand. This singular formation gives to the swamp its name of Trem bling Earth, it will support the weight of the average man if he keeps moving onward, but if lie pauses an instant he commences to sink, und may go through to his waist or over his head. At every step the water oozes up4round the feet, while the muck will tremble and quiver for yards around. There is something grand and even sublime to the visitor in the silent vast ness of this prairio formation. It stretches awgy before the eye in every direction until only limited by the hori zon, its perfect stillness only broken by the occasional bellow of some huge alli gator or the far distant scream of some unknown bird. Here und there can be seen the track left behind by some hunt er, where possibly years ago he had laboriously poled liis canoe along in pur suit of game, the puth'ns distinct und fresh now as if only made yesterday. All around lisli of endless species and sizes can l>o seen swimming and darting about, while not infrequently the eye may fall upon some immense alligator or snake sunning himself upon the sur face of tho muck and water, or slowly sinking out of sight as soon as he is dis covered. This description conveys a slight, but at best a very imperfect, idea of the prairie land of this swamp. Upon the island where we are at pres ent encamped are living two families, with the aged father, named Cheshire, The old gentleman is nearly SO years of age. ami has spent thirty-odd years of his lil'o here in this tqiot. fie is a wonderful fisherman and i .leed calls himself the king of the swamps, tc whicli position ho says he was duly ap pointed und commissioned by Dr. Little, tho state geologist. The two sons of Mr. Cheshire hnvo their families here. The men attempt to cultivate small crops, but spend most of their time hunting. Their revenue is almost wholly derived from the salo of hides, alligators, deet and bear. The quantities of these that they destroy and many of their stories of hunting adventures are almost in credible. Think of a hunter shooting down font deer with a rifle, one after another, and without moving from one spot. In sev eral of the lakes that are thickly inter spersed throughout this prairie the alli gators ore so numerous and fierce that they will attack a man in a boat as sooz as be appe-ts among them, and shooting them by nig at, which is the way they are commonly killed, is sometimes at tended with no little danger. The entire armament of tho Cheshire family consists of one’ ten-gaugo, ten- pound, double baneled Remington shot gun and two Winchester rifies, one 88- caliber and one 32. Also a small yellow pine bow and a few cane arrows. The latter are used in shooting fish, and I feel safe in affirming that the dexterity with which these men uso their rude bow and arrows would put to shame the average Atlanta marksman with his rifle. In passing over the prairie one of the Cheshire* will suddenly stop, poise hie little bow and send bis Uttle arrow fly ing into the water—ordinarily into a spot where you or 1 would see nothing, but the way in whicli that arrow will dance about for tho next minute or twe will cod ,'inco yon not only that there if an object on the other end of it, but that there, is an object of some size, too.

Lady readers may be interested in knowing something of the trunks of Sarah Bernhardt., which the other day, to tho ntimlier of forty-eight, interfered with the traffic /it Angers station and paralyzed nearly the whole of the rail way staff there. Madame admits thut she had forty-eight tranks with her. ex clusive of packages great and small. Twenty of her trunks are made of wood, about four feet high, each divided into three compartments and tilled with her most valuable dresses. Fourteen were made of wicker work, also in three com portments, some of the heavier being subdivided into two, three, or four spaces, filled with petticoats, linen, boots and robes of small value. Three special trunks are set apart for hats, arranged on pegs in sncli a way as to prevent them from 'being shaken or crushed.

One of the latest of the kind was in a Lewis ton drug store the other day and he was as usual theorizing, and hit theory was fearfully and wonderfully made. Said he: "Silver is porous. You can tell that it is because it sweats in hot weather. FUI a silver pitchor with water and the water comes through on the outside." So on ad libitum, while the druggist smiled and said, "If your knowledge of other subjects is as accurate as that upon the pores of silver U fa valuable”— Lewiston Journal. Appearances Are Deceptive, The popcorn man who does business at the corner of Clark and Center streets met with a ludicrous mishap Sunday evening, just at the hour when the streets were crowded with those who bad spent the afternoon in the park. This vender of com has occupied this place for years, and knows in which direction every car will turn as well as the switchman who turns the Lincoln avent e cars np Centre street. Those who have watched a street car as it rounds a curve have noticed bow tho front platform runs ahead, as though the car was going to continue in the same direction, and then gives a sudden lurch and whirls around the curve. At the comer of Center und Clark the appearance to those who do not happen to know the cars is that all north bound trains continue up Clark street. As the cars near the corner it is the custom of this popcorn man to board all the trains in the endeavor to dispose of his but tered grain. Sunday evening as tho north bound grip came thundering tip Clark street Sir. Popcorn man placed himself, with his nmis full of merchan dise, right in the center of the Clark street track. As the train came nearer and nearer lie never moved. Ou it came, and u stranger in the crowd which throfiged the entrance of the park be- camo desperate. Dashing in front of the grip car he wildly seized the astoujshed popcorn man by the neck and twirled him to what he thought a place of safety. Tho popcorn flew like a million grasshoppers, and tho old man swore like a trooper. Anybody who has heard the heartless laugh of a street crowd can get an idea of the roar of merriment that went up as the situa tion dawned upon the bystanders. But the most amusing thing of the whol^af- fair was the look of blank rnnuzement of that well meaning gentleman, as lie lie- held the front car, with its two trailers, turn up Lincoln uvenue.—Chicago News. An Unfinished Shave. This reminds the writer of an experi ence in the Arran Islands, on the west coast of Ireland. He had three weeks’ growth of beard on his fifce, and he hunted over tho threo islands for a bar ber, at last finding ono who was willing i to undertake the job. The Arran barber had nover shaved a Yankee, and was overjoyed at tho chance. He was 20 years old, and had been engaged all his lifo at building stone walls. He sliaqi- ened his razor on a nibce of smooth flag stone and seated his victim in a kitchen chair. One man held the patient's head and a dozen interested spectators looked on, for it was an altogether unprece dented event in the islands. Tho lath ering was done with a piece of hard brown soap, which was rnbbed over the face. Grabbing a handful of hair on top of the patient’s head the stone wall builder flourished the razor in tho air and exclaimed: “Are ye all ready, sir?” ' “All right,” was the trembling reply. Down came the razor with a sweep like that of a scythe. The implement was evidently as full of teeth as a buzzsaw. It tore the hair out by the roots. It raised the victim bolt nprigbt as if $ cannon cracker hod exploded. Tears gathered in his eyes. His hands clinched convulsively, and £ rivulot of blood ran down his cheek. The butcher went to the window to wipe bis weapon clean. While standing there he looked np und exclaimed sympathetically: •'Share, sir, ye have a face as tindher as a little baby!” The shave was concluded threo later in the city of Galway.—Ne w Turk Sun. Dust to Doit. A thousand years hence—so rays a member of tho Academy of Sciences— nearly all the stone buildings now stand ing in Europe will have crumbled to dust. So perishable is the material of which they are constructed that the process of decay is already evident in many conspicuous edifices. The same thing is going on in this country. Neither marble nor our favorite brown stone can withstand the action of the elements. Even the Capitol at Washington is un dergoing disintegration. It may not bo important that an ordi nary dwelling house should last a thou sand years. For sanitary, reasons it is, perhaps, just as well that peoplo should have to build their houses over again once every two or three centuries. But it is not agreeable to think that the Cap itol and all tho great churches in tho country will linve disappeared by the year of grace 2890.—Now York Ledger.

Apropos of tho present necessity for the separation of families by the often continued absence of the husband on the road, I know a little anecdote of a youngster who had seen so littlo of his father that ho did not know him, and when, ona Sunday morning, this same little follow, being obstreperous, was severely reprimands by his impatient father, he went howling to his mother with the wail, “I ain’t goin'to git licked by that old duffer who spends Sunday here.”—Toledo Journal. the Da* Forgot. ft was a Michigan woman who brought home some strychnine pills and left them on the stand where the 2-year-old baby could get at them and swallow a couple.
