There is an individuality possessed by the circus man, especially in the case of the old-time showman who has jour neyed on wagons and horseback through the cross-roads and green lanes of the remotest rural districts. He comes in contact with many sorts of people, in every condition of life, and liis knowledge of tin? characteristics of the inhabitants of tho different parts of the country is extensive. A rejmrter of the Mail and Express recently called upon n showman at his residence in Brooklyn, and gained much informa tion about tho ups and downs of circus tent life. "I hare been out every season for twenty-two years,” said he, “and I believe I am able to give as manv points about the business as any man you will find in Brooklyn. A circus man who follows tho calling for any length of time has abundant opportunities for knowing the country as well us the habits and customs of the people lie finds in it. Os course, there are lots of people besides showmen who travel constantly, but the majority of these merely go from one large city to anoth er. and their ideas of the country arc such as can lie obtained by looking out of car windows. There is little differ ence in the routine work of a show now-a-days, except, of course, tho man ner of transportation from one town to another. The first duty after unloading the ears in the morning is to get tip the slock and dressing tents. This is done by the drivers and grooms. While this work is going on the cooks and helpers are employed putting ni> the mess tents and preparing the breakfast. The next act is to get ready for the street parade. All have to take part except tho canvas and property men, who get tin tho big tents. The street parade lasts loss than nil hour. One object of it is to draw the crowd away from the grounds so the men can have a better chance to work. The duties of workmen who travel with tho railroad shows are less arduous than in former years. They sleep on the cars and generally get in early enough for breakfast, but their lives are in much greater danger than they formerly were. Last season six circus men were killed in Michigan, where two sections of a train collided. Another accident, in lowa, caused tho death of one man and wounded many j more, and everyone knows the fate of poor Jumbo, iu Canada. Scarcely a season passes without fatal accidents happening to circus trains in different parts of the country. “The boss hostler has about the most responsible position in the work ins' foreo of a show.

The press agent is always the life of a circus, large or small. In a big show tnerc is always one or two cars set apart for the um> of tho press agent and his assistants. They are usually shrewd, wide-awake, newspaper men who know how to hustle. 1 can’t say who is the best.” Custer's Characteristics. Speaking of tho dead and gone heroes of ti io late war with an old Army officer, \ the other day. ho remarked that in early years lighting Joe Hooker was the handsomest man he had ever seen. His hearer instanced Custer as hi* ideal ota dashing soldier, and lie told a story about him which is curious, as an in stance of how differently men are affect ed by circumstances. Custer, who went into a tight with perfect coolness, was the victim of what sportsmen call buck fever. which is akin to stage-fright. ••The first time Custer ever saw a buffalo I was with him. Hi’ had been verv anxious to get his first shot at one. and talked of nothing else for some days. We were in the region where the Topeka, Atchison and Santa To Rail wav now runs when we sighted the tirst herd. Custer was monuted on a beauti ful Kentucky marc, for which he had paid $3,000. and of which he was very proud, while I rode an Indian pony. “There they are.’ 1 said to him, and without a word, blit in a great state of j excitement, he put spurs to his mare I and was off like tho wind. 1 followed j some distance iu tho rear, and soon lost sight of them in a swale (a hollow.) When I came up Custer was Ring on the ground about twenty feet ahead of the mare. 1 picked him np. a little dazed by his fall, and we went back to the mare. She was dead. Custer had drawn his revolver and. seized with buck-fever in his excitement nnd trepi- t dation. instead of hitting a buffalo, had sent his bullet crashing through the mare's brain, shooting her just Dehind the ear.”. THE CORBET. Wl*t Irr. Vtary A. Allsn ft*, to Hmy Against Jfs Lse. The Herald of Health is honestly en deavoring to fulfill its mission by wag ing war against the corset. One of the most zealous helpers is Dr. Mary A. Allen, who tolls her little story and fol lows it up with a moral worthy of at tention, to say the least. “O, dear! I don’t know what is the matter with me. lam so tired all the time I can’t stand anything; I can’t walk three blocks. I have neuralgia every little while. I’m good for noth ing, and yet there seems to be no dis ease about me. I wish you'd tell me what ails me.” The speaker was a beautiful girl about 19 years old. Nature had inten deif her for a magnificent specimen of woman hood. She was not less than five feet seven inches in height, but with shoul ders and hips broad in proportion: she measured but twenty-two inches around the waist Os course, she asserted that she did not dress tight; but when told that in order to have good health she must leave off her corset she rebelled, “Why, how would I look without a corset?” she exclaimed; “I’d be a perfect fright.” What rejilv was there to be made to so convincing a statement? But by the light of science her whole body was illuminated, and to the understanding vision she was a perfect fright as it was. I never see such a figure that I am not reminded of Hiram rowers’ query in re gard to a fashionably-attired lady: “I wonder where sue puts her liver?” It is easy enough to prove that the breathing capacity is actually lessened by the corset, even when not worn tight. Any one who wishes to trv tho experiment can sit down and begin to draw in tho deepest breath possible, when the limit of the corset is reached unclasp it and see how widely its clasp can be separated by the action of the lungs alone. Then if you bear in mind that these muscles have been weakened by non-use, and that with full liberty they would increase in strength, you will be able to imagine liow much tho corset has lessened the vital capacity. I saw a line illustration of this a few days since. I called upon a lady whoso library labors aro wonderful. She re ceived me in a neat but loose dress, in which every organ of the body had full play. She rejoiced in her perfect physi cal freedom. She ran up and down stairs with the lightness of a child, and felt no palpitations of heart or oppres sion of lungs. Later in the day she dressed to go out upon the street with me, and put on a corset. “1 do it in deference to the opinion of my friends,” she explained. “They complain if I outrage their sense of propriety by ap pearing without one, but I do penance all the time I wear it.” We started oft'at her usual brisk pace, but in a very little while she said to me: ■*l can’t walk so fast when I’ve a corset on. 1 can’t breathe, you see.” And so to accommodate her diminished powers of breathing we slackened our pace, and soon she commenced to look weary, her cheery huigh became less frequent, her face began to wear tin anxious look; her vital capacity was lessened, and her whole system felt the effects of it. “I could accomplish nothing at all,” said she, "if 1 wore compelled to wear a corset at my work.” I asked a young lady to sing for me tho other day. With some hesitation nnd blushes she excused herself, saying: “Really, I shall be obliged to decline; the fact is, I am just breaking in a new corset, and it hurts me so 1 can hardly live.” “Why do you wear it then?” “O, I’d look so without a corset.” To me she would look far better, for I could see that her health was failing, her cheeks paling, her nerves starving for the vital breath of God’s pure air, which tho corset was shutting out of her lungs. “We girls arc always glad to undo our corsets and draw a long breath at night,” said one frank girl to me. “We don’t wear them tight, we can put our hands up under them always, but—it does seem so good to get them off and breathe just as big as we can.” New Use For Dynamite. Dr. J. W. Greene, of ('hillicothe. Mo., writes to the Kansas City Journal that for a trilling sum of a few hundred dol lars and a little systematic work by practical men Kansas City or any other place can have all the rain wanted. l ake, sav. 100 good, largo, strong toy balloons, 100 pounds of dynamite in one-pound packages, and 100 ounces of powder. Attach one pound of dynamite and one ounce of the powder to each balloon, with fuse enough to set tho powder off at about half-mile hight or higher. The explosion of the powder will explode tho dynamite. The explo sion of tho dynamite at that altitude will cause a displacement of the air for about 1,000 feet and an active agitation for a very much greater distance. These explosions should be made from several neighboring stations, sav two or three miles apart, and for a general rain, of course, at distances accordingly; and they should take place at as regular successive intervals as possible. in an hour or two a terrific storm will be rag ing in the upper elements. Aerial fric tion will generate electricitv, which will play its necessary part, while concus sion and the commingling of maddened currents and counter currents of warm and cold atmosphere will produce con densation of watery vapor —rainfall. This random work will bring it. But if the balloons could be anchored and tho explosions made by electricity at more regular intervals the result would be more certain aud more effective. This is the idea in the rough. Experi ment and improvement will develop de tails. But the scheme will be put into active operation, and the man who sug gests it will probably never get tho credit for it A Frenchman sent a circular to all his friends asking why they cultivated a beard. Among the answers nine stated, “because I wish to avoid shav ing:” twelve “because 1 do not wish to catch cold;” five “because 1 wish to conceal bad tooth:” two “because 1 wish to conceal the length of me -ose;” six “because I am a soldier:” twenty one “because I was a soldier:” sixty five “because my wife likes it;” twen ty-eight “because my love like* it;” fi'teen answered that they w.iro no beards. . - - _ —m A Thin Man'* Watch. A tall, thin man with a east in his eye boarded a Bine Line car going east on Baltimore recently. He looked like a person alio would not be sur prised if the world would suddenly come to an end and leave him alone in the universe. The seats of the car were foil but nobody was standing. Most of the passengers were ladies. The tall, tii lii man (lulled out his Waterbary watch and compared it with the big chronometer near Light street. The two lime-pieces did not agree. The tall man proceeded to open his Waterbary watch at liie rear. He pried open the outer case and on the inner case saw the ominous inscription: ••Don't remove the cap unless you are a nraetieal watch-repairer.” This did not scare the thin man a bit. He got out his penknife and pried the cam oil with the little blade. (ireat Cii-sar! what a revelation there was in that cap! Tlie moment the cap came ofF a steel spring about forty yards long popped .mi and uncoiled itself up to the ceiling •if ihe ear. It was like ihe devil coming • ait of bis band-box. After touching the roof the spring recoiled and then uncoil ed. amt then became wound up in a uo.st horribly confused way. it would • lart out like a serpent's tongue all over ! he car, around the necks of the passen gers, up their trousers’logs, under the -eat, out the front door and around the mvef's stool. Then it would curl tbout the thin man and run out of every window on that side of the car. l’lie female passengers shrieked, and the perspiration gathered in great beads on the tall man’s alabaster brow. He tried to throw the watch out of the window, but it would not go. The spring dragged it back and it flew into Hie conductor’s face, and in his excite ment he trod on a fat passenger’s pet corn, and the fat man howled although his liver trad struck for shorter hours and higher wages. The conductor tried to toss the de moniacal watch through the door, but it returned and went whistling through the car like one of Kilroy's hot balls, and hit the door so violently that it left ihe exact time of the day indelibly siani|s-d on the panel. Finally the tall man, with the assist ance of the conductor and several of the passengers, succeeded iu gathering Kigetner what appeared to be ten bush els of wire springs, and the car stopped and they gently carried it out into the street and said; “Now, then; all to gether!” and dropped it and ran for their lives. When the thin man looked at his Waterbary watch after the excitement had subsided lie found that there was absolutely nothing left in it—not even a wheel or a pivot. The spring hait been running the watch entirely and exclusively on its own responsibility, and when it lied nothing but the caso remained to tell the. mournful story. — Halle more American. IFs ure. Now the propensity "or wading, which is deeply implau d in the female bos om, is inexplicable. Unless a girl has the influenza or a bunion, she can not resist the temptation to paddle about in the salt water and trot her clothing un comfortably wet. This is a subject full of interest to mo from the casting aside of the shoes and stockings to their re sumption. It is a fact pretty generally known in male circles that ladies prefer sitting on the ground when pulling on and off their stockings to occupying a chair or bench. But having my doubts as to the inflexibility of this rule, I had determined to convince myself by ex periment. After the setting of my traps, to-wit, the benches, I had not long to wait. A bevy of young ladies, one or two of whom I recognized, came troop ing down the beach, chatting and laughing merrily. They evidently won dered who had been kind eno' T ti to place the benches there for their "*eom modntion, took possession of t 11 at once gleefully, confessed that th(_ were just too delightful for anything, and seemed perfectly and unrestrainedly hatipy. 1 was rejoiced at having dis proved a moldy theory, but, alas, my satisfaction was short lived. When my guests made up their minds that it was time to wade they sprang from the benches, sat on the beach and tugged away at shoes and stockings in the old fashion. On the following day, resolv ing to give my experiment every chance, 1 had my hireling bathmnn strew a quantity of broken bottles, empty oyster cans, and rubbish of various kinds along the beach and sat under my um brella and watched. The girls came down about the same hour, seemed a little dismayed at first, but rallying, set to work industriously and soon had a clear space upon which they squatted, not taking the least notice of the benches this time. Then 1 put up my umbrella and mmtnl sadly away. The habit is an incurable one. Eve must have sat her fair form down in the garden mold of Eden when adjusting her lirst gar ment from the historic tig tree, and left tlie habit as an inheritance to her daugh ters for all time.—-Santa Barbara Cor. Sacramento Bee. When the Bombs Were Flying. Col. John R. 'lowers, principal keep er of the penitentiary, aided and abet ted in one of the most eruel jokes of the war. The federals were leisurely tiring shells into some confederate works, and the bombs were falling and bursting in such uncomfortable nearness that the soldiers had dug holes in the ground and were hiding as best they could. The colonel anil some friends cot hold of an unexploded shell- and stuffed it full of fuse. When the next report was hoard the fuse was touched off aud after a moment the bomb was dropped into the mouth of one of the “gopher” holes where several soldiers were sheltered. “Zip-zip-zip-z-z-z-zip-ziz-zipP” went the fuse for several minutes. Howl after howl went up as the soldiers expected to be blown to atoms. After a time the sputtering fuse burnt out and things quieted down. When Col. Towers concluded his re cital of the above story a private who was minus an arm remarked: “One day a boat opened on ns with canister, aud the boys were sorter ratt led. until a big fellow shouted: “Stick to ’em boys; their ammunition’s gin cut and they're shootin’ dinnerbuekets at us!” —Atlanta Constitution. HEMMING APRONS. ’■W The Latent Fashionable Amnoment No* for Women hut for Men. In addition to the “quotation” party, which may take the place of progres sive euchre this winter to a large ex tent. there is another novelty which bids fair to be popular. It is styled tho “rainbow” party and takes its name from the bright hues of the ribbons which play an important part It will undoubtedly be popular with the ladies, as it gives them an excellent opportuni ty" to air their superior knowledge and skill before the lords of creation and tc laugh heartily at the awkwardncsi which they are sure to exhibit to at amusing extent. The first stage is th. passing of bows of ribbon t<* the men who fasten them to their buttonhole# and proceed to find the yon g womar whose color matches. Tins will b# found in the strings of a pretiy and coquettish apron, and the strings them selves are tied about a trim waist. Tin men having thus been provided with partners are further provided with need les, thread, and a thimble, wiiich they are obliged to select from a heap on the table. It is then explained to the men that they are expected to hem the bot tom m the apron and that prizes will be the reward of good v ork. The young woman is to keep or her apron atu 1 give no assistance whatever, either by advice or by lending a helping hand. Notwithstanding the restrictions M young woman usually cannot resist help ing her partner, especially if she ha** pens to be the least bit interested in him; but if she gets caught at it by h« judges she forfeits her apron. Th« temptation, however, is very strong, for he is obliged to sit reasonably close, since the apron occupies the position i which it was intended, and it come' very natural for skillful wnite hands tc touch awkward brown uands when there is such a good excuse; a.v' here i' may be remarked that some of th« knowing men, after being once aided in this manner, are inexcusably stupid an< make the same mistake over and over again. Even when the tyros are doing tlieir best there is room for a vast amour t of amusement. Nearly every man in the room is as awkward in his general atti tude as can be easily imagined, n 3 most of them look as though life at.d death depended upon tlieir effort.. Here is a chap in a high collar; he cau bare ly see over it when his head is erect, anu his efforts to focus his eyes on his work without cutting his throat are decidedly funny. Next to him sits a man who has been trying for ten minutes to thread his needle, and, judging by the way h» goes at it, the merriment of the com pany will be prolonged for some time. On the other side of tue room is a left handed man who is making heroic at tempts to make progress, and working backward as well as left-handed, to the in time amusement of every girl within seeing distance. The degrees and vari eties of awkwardness are limited only by the number of sewers. Probably out of the whole number there will be not more than one or two who go at the work with auythinglike method or skill, and even their efforts are so nearly on a par with the little girl taking her firs« lesson that the exhibition is usually more amusing than the out-and-ou# awkwardness of the others. When all are done the aprons are handed to the judges for inspection, aud after their decision the prizes are awarded. Match safes, scarfpins, etc., are the proper thing for tiie first and second prizes, while the booby prize is usually a treat ise on embroidery or something equally interesting to the masculine mind. As souvenirs of the occasion the ladies keep tlieir aprons and the gentlemen their thimbles. —Chicago Tribune. Arabi as a Candy-Maker. “Do you know who Arabi Bey is?” asked Mr. E., of his friend Mr. A., as they stood on the deck of the New Camelis. bound for Mandeville. “Arabi Bey is no other than Dumon tell, who used to keep a confectionary establishment at the corner of Bourbon and Canal streets. Dutaontell was a major in the (Means artillery and a gallant soldier —an adventurous, daring fellow. After the war lie engaged in business, succeeding Bellanger at the corner of Bourbon and Canal. He ran into debt for $40,000 or $50,000, and went to France about 1809. Dumontell fought in the Franco-Prussian war, and was distinguished for bravery, receiving the cross of the Legion of Honor. The next I heard about liim, from a mutual friend in Paris, was that he had gone to Egypt Several years ago the vague rumor reached me that the irresponsible Dumontell had entered the army of tho knedive and risen to a position of rank. It is said that he stood in high favor with the army, and was regarded al most in the light of a native. I recol lect him,” continued Mr. F., “as a tall, swarthy fellow, with large features, but clear brilliant eyes, and a heavy black mustache. In fact, he had a rather Oriental cast of countenance, and ten years’ residence in Africa would have certainly increased tho resemblance. Dressed in the Egyptian garb I can im agine that Dumontell would make a line-looking Arab. “The other day I saw a picture of Arabi Bev, and was startled at his strik ing likeness to Dumontell. Indeed, no one who knew the latter would hesitate in identifying the picture as that of the quondam confectioner. There was a peculiar expression about Dumontell’s mouth which is closely reproduced in the picture. This resemblance, coupled with the fact of Dumontell’s presence In Egypt, assures me that he is the Egyptian leader who is just now giving the* English so much trouble.” The above conversation was repeated to the writer yesterday, and is repro duced as nearly as' possible from memory.—A\*r Orleans Picayune.
