A COSTI.Y TlUN'Ci. A gentleman was walking in Re- gent Park, London, and lie met a mail whose only home was in the poor house. He had come out to take the air, audoxeited the gentle- Iman’s interested attention. “Well, my friend,” said the gen- tleman, getting into conversation “it's a pity that a man like you sliould he .uated where you are. Now may I > old are?” zt k you how you f The man said lie was 80 years of age. “Had you any trade before you be¬ came penniless?” “Yes, 1 was a carpenter.” “Did you use intoxicating drink?” “No J only took my beer.” “How much did your beer come to a day?” suppose.’’ “Oh, a sixpence a day, 1 “For how long a time?” “Well I suppose sixty years.” The gentleman had taken out his note-book, and he continued (iguring with his pencil, while lie went on talking with the man. “Now let me tell you,” he said, as lie finished his calculation, “how much than beer cost you, my man. You can go ever the figures yourself.’ And the gentleman demonstrated that the money at six pence a day ’ for sixty years, expended in beer, would, if it had been placed at inter¬ est, have yielded him nearly eight hundrea dollars a year, or an income of (iifteen dollar per week for sup- port. “See now liow much a gallon oi whiskey cost,” said a judge, after trying ft ease, “one gallon of whis- key made two murderers, it made two wives widows, and eight orphans. —Richard Newton. A Judge gave the following decision when a man was found guilty of kiss- ii g a woman against her will: “Tlie court in this ease sympathizes with tlie defendant, and will therefore dis¬ charge him, without fine, imprison - merit or reprimand, .because the court whilst this ease lias been in progress. has been obliged to hold on to both i arms of his chair in order to keep from’kissing 1 .inant hims.lf. ’ eoinj AYiiieli do you think is best?

As the train going down from Charleston to Savannah ran in on a siding to wait for the up-train to pass, we saw a large alligator in a pond on the other side of the fence. 'This pond had been made by a fill in tlie i railroad bed, and was about 200 feet long by 40 feet broad. On the op¬ posite side, and not twenty feet from the water, was a negro cabin, and a negro stood in the open door looking at the train. A dozen men leaped to to the ground, pulled their revolvers and began firing at the reptile. lie was Iiit by two or three bullets once, ’ and went down out of sight ° As lie disappeared the negro came running down to us, hat in hand, and pointing to a hole made ill the head- gear by a glancing bullet lie ex- claimed: “Now, den, whar is dat white man who shot dat bullet?” No one could say, as we had all been firing, but one of the shooters finally stepped forward and said: “See here, Moses, it was an acci¬ dent, and though it was a close shave you have not been hart.” “Hut f’ze got a chill, sail!' When dat bullet went ‘p-i-n-g’ frew my ole hat, 1 fought I was dun sent fur an’ killed dead; an’ it’s brung de ager back on me.” “Well, how much damages do you claim?” *v “Lo hits, sail fo hits r.n not a cent less.

There is room in Georgia for the pessimist. A recent report made by Cornp- troller General M right shows that within the period of eleven years, embraced between 1870 and 1890, the assessed value of property in this state has increased $109,000,000. There is a wonderful and inspir- ing story in these figures. Let the reader scan them again: $109,000,000. The story they tell is one of pros¬ perity and progress, intelligent work and pleasing results, the death of old fogvism and the birth of new forces . , lagging behind , Georgians are not their brethren of the revigorated south. On the contrary Georgians are leading their brethren of the ’ other , states, and the thirteenth . stiff in the blue field-of the Union’s flag ° still marks the place where occupies as the Empire State of tlie South.—Rome Tribune.

The Russian lady had occasion to visit one of tlio largo prisons for the purpose of calling on a suspect with whom she was acquainted. Stepniak accompanied her in the guise of a serv¬ ant. Wlille the lady was making her call Stepniak remuined at the gate of the prison, where he passed the time cliat- ting .with the soldiers on guard and feeing them stories in. the peasant dia- which ho knew so well how to as- sune. .Being very tired, having boon out all the previous niglit attending a secret meeting of the revolutionists, Stepniak seated himself on a bench between two soldiers, who were just then off duty, and soon fell asleep. When the lady came out of the prison she beheld her servant, who was in reality the most noted revolutionist in Russia, and for whom the police tller ‘ scouril f tho cit >'-,fart asleep t ween two gendarmes, with ms head re sting peacefully on one of their shoulders. |Tho lady awakened mansion her servant without and they returned to her exciting tho slightest suspicion in re¬ gard to Stepniak’s identity.—George Reiman. Two Big; Animals. At the beginning of this century the price of hippopotamus ivory was $6.25 per pound. Since the American inven¬ tion of porcelain enamel for artificial teeth it is no longer sought for, and tlie value of til6 animal depends at present 'on.tlie hide and the fat. The latter re¬ sembles lard, and the former is used for whips. A hippopotamus differs from most aquatic animals in this particular, tin t, instead of diving head first, it sinks backward and disappears by throwing tlie nose upward. There is also a marked difference between this beast and the crocodile as regards the fWivs r of rtiundniptf uuiac.v'afcr. Tiie former, notwithstanding its enor- mous lungs, must come up to breathe in ten minutes at the longest, whereas thu crocodile can stay beneath the sur- face for almost any length of time. The crocodile lias the power of living through the hot season in a torpid state, buried in tlie mud, which dries and hardens above Jiiin. When the mud is softened in the rainy season the animal resumes its activity. It seems that crocodiles measuring twenty-two feet length have frequently been killed, There is no doubt that one of these could swallow an ordinary human being. A large specimen having been killed and cut open in Ceylon tlie body of a native was found in its stomach.— M. W. Hazleton in New York Ledger. Consumption Cured by Careful Feeding. In 1881 a young man lay apparently dying of consumption; a skeleton, wasting by night sweats and cough which threw off lung fibres, with fre¬ quent hemorrhages; cavities in both lungs, heart enlarged, pul,so 120 , res¬ piration twenty unj more tlmcsa min¬ ute—a desperate case. He was fed on beef from tlie top of the round, scraped from fibre, the pulp daintily molded witli knife and fork, not even the band allowed to touch it lest the human heat should change the condition of tho meat; tlie beef broiled and seasoned to taste with pepper,' salt, butter arid lemon juice; even a little Worcester¬ shire sauce allowed. The patient was fed this throe times a day, given gentle tonics, bathed twice a d% with ammonia of acid sponge baths, and caret til ly watched, f or life was likely to slip away at any moment. The eougluand sweats left, calls hiniscit a well mail.—Shirley ........ ,, . Letter, Habit* ot Seals. Tljp habits of seals arc very interest¬ ing. The very young seal is helpless in tho water until lie is taught by his mother to swim. She takes him into the water daily on her (in and damps Lia f in ’ and wlien 1,0 tired of floun- dering about places him on lier fin again and returns to her ohmp.
