If there is one thing more than anothei calculated to throw a man into a gnash ing-of-the-tceth or tearing-of-the-haii condition, it is to attempt to give the wife of his bosom an account of some or dinary affair, to which she listens after this fashion: He—Oh, my dear, I must tell you some thing Jack Burroughs told me to-day while She—Where did you see Jack Bur roughs? lie—Oh, we went to luncheon to] gether, and— She—How did you happen to go out to luncheon together? He—Well, we didn’t exactly go out to gether. I met Jack at the restaurant, and She—What restaurant? He—Calloway’s, and Jack She—How did you happen to go to I Calloway’s? I thought you always i lunched at Draper’s? He—l nearly always do, but I just j happened to drop into Calloway’s to-day 1 along with Jack, and She—Does he always lunch at Callo way’s? 1 le—l’m sure my dear (a little sharply), , that I don’t know whether he does or not. It makes no earthly difference ii She—Oh, of course not. (Hastily.) I just wondered if he did, that’s all. Go on with vonr story. _ Hr—Well, while we were eating our soup, Jack—- She—What kind of soup? He—Oxtail. Jack said that i She—l thought you disliked oxtail j soup? j lie— Well, I don’t care much about it, j but She—How did you happen to order it if you don’t care for it? lie—Because I did. (Severely). But the soup has nothing to do with the story. She—Oh, of course not. (In a grieved tone.) I never said that it did. I don’t see why you should get cross over a sim ple question. Go on. He—Well, while we were eating out soup, Lawrence Hildreth and his wife came in and She—They did? > He—l have just said so. She—Well you needn’t be so cross about it. ; He —They came in and She—ls she pretty? He—Pretty enough. Jack bowed and She—Does he know them? He—Well, now, do you suppose he would have bowed if he didn’t know them? I declare if I She—How was she dressed? He—How should I know ? I never looked at her dress. What I was going to tell you was that She —Did they sit near you ? He—Yes, at the next table. And while they were ordering, Jack said that they She—Couldn’t they hear him ? He—Do you suppose (fiercely) that Jack would have no more sense than to 1 let them hear him talking about them? Look here, now She—James, if you can’t tell a simple little incident without getting into a passion you’d better keep it to yourself. What did Jack say ? He —He said' that Mrs. Hildreth’s father was opposed to the match, and ; She—How did he know that 1 He—Great Ciesar ! There you go again ! She—James, will you please remember that it is your wife to whom you are speaking, sir? He—No other woman could drive me raving, distracted, crazy, asking silly questions about She—James ! He—Every time I tell you anything you begin, and you She—James (rising with dignity and saying stiffly), I do not propose listening to any such insulting remarks, and He—You never listen tc anything. That’s the trouble, if She— vVhen I ask you a simple question you He—l’d say “simple!" You’ve asked ( me a million “simple” questions in the last half hour, just because I said that ! Jack Burroughs said that She—l do not wish to know’ what Mr. | Jack Burroughs said, if you cannot tell it respectfully. I shall have my dinner sent to my room, since it is so painful for you to eat with an idiot! (Retires scornfully, while he narrowly escapes an it tack of apoplexy.) Consekvativx estimates are that 40,007 laborers will be needed within ths next | month in order to harvest the immense grain crop of the Northwest. The acreage | is a little less than last year, but the yield ! promises to be equally great, if only the crop can be secured. In order to induce laborers to come to the relief of the wheat farmers of the Northwest, all the railroads in that section have announced a special rate of $5 from Chicago to the Dakotas for farm laborers. a names are very scarce in Q lebec.

A retired farmer named Blunt came to live in town upon his income and natur ally brought with, him the economical habits which had vrabled him to save a fortune. One day Blunt required some carpentry work about his house, and be ing of a mechanical turn and rather handy resolved to do it himself. He bought his lumber in one place at a star vation price, took it to a factory and begged the privilege of using the buzz saw to slit it instead of hiring it done. The owner good-naturedly rigged up the machinery and Blunt went to work. After a time an outcry was heard, and Blunt was seen doubled up like a jack-knife nursing his right hand. Upon inquiry as to his hurts he an swered ; “I’ve sawed my finger off.” Some one then suggested that if the lost finger could be found it would iu time grow on again. A search was made without success. A bystander finally said: “Lay a penny on the bench and then watch for the Sugar. ” It was done, wiien lo! the sawdust was seen to be in a commotion and out popped the lost finger and pounced down on the penny with a vice-like grip.—Pniladclphia Post. The Value of Fish as Food. Professor W. O. Atwater has just con cluded an exhaustive study of the chemi cal composition and nutritive values ol food fish and the aquatic invertebrates, which is presented in the last report issued by the United States Fish Com missioner. There is ample variety of fish food in this country, as Professor Atwater tells us that we may select from no less than 1000 different species of fish. The following are the deductions a? to the food value of fish: Comparing the flesh of domestic animals and ol fish, tho latter contains mure water and less fat, and hence less nutritive material pound for pound. In the flesh of the flounder there is sixteen per cent, of nutrients, in the cod eighteen, while in lean beef there is from twenty-five to thirty-two per cent. The fatter fish, as the herring, mackerel, salmon, shad, and whitefish, approach nearer to bsef. In dry or salt fish the nutrients are increased, and salted codfish contains twenty-eight per cent., salt mackerel forty-seven, and desicated cod as high as eighty-two per cent. Oysters have little of the nutri ents, only from nine to nineteen, lobsters about eighteen per cent. In the con sumption of fresh fish, as bought iu the market, by the pound, the quantity of refuse, bone, skin, is more considerable by comparison than that of meat, unless a piece of the latter with too mush bone is bought. It has taken a number of years to make the public get rid of tho idea that in eating fish it was procuring additional quantities of phosphorus. Professor Atwater is very emphatic in regard to this. He says “There is a widespread notion that fish contain* large proportions of phosphorus, and is on that account particularly valu able for brain food. The percentage ot phosphorus in the analysis of fish is not larger than is found iu the flesh of other animals used for food. But if even the iish were richer in phosphorus, there is no proof that it would on that account be better for brain food. The question ot the nourishment of the brain and the sources of the intellectual energy are too indeterminate to allow decisive state ments and toe abtruse for speedy solu tion. There is no experimental evidence to w arrant the assumption that fish is more valuable tbau meats or other food material for the nourishment ol the brain.—N«w YwJs Tune*. , | THE SOUTH IN BRIEF The News of Her Progress Portrayed in Pithy and Pointed Paragraphs AND A COMPLETIt EPITOME OF HAPPEN INGS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM DAT TO DAT WITHIN HER BORDERS. A Jackson, Mias., dispacth of Satur day says: The activity of the third party people have aroused the democrats, and preparations are being made for a vigorous campaign in nil parts of the | state.

Nothing can be done to stay the ravages of the pest. The firm of Allen & McCosker, one of the leading jewelry houses of Rome, Ga., failed Saturday. It is supposed that their liabilities will amount to about fifteen thousand dollars and their assets will not exceed half of that amount. They were closed by eastern creditors. Savannah is to have direct trade with Europe before Brunswick or any other southern port. On August 15th the steam ship Highland Prince, of the Prince lino of steamships, will sail for Barcelona, Genoa and Tireste, and will be followed by the Roman Prince and other steam ships of the same line at regular dates.

Now the stockholders have re solved lo put up the money themselves. A dispatch from Athens, Ga., states that C. A. Avant, United States marshal from Judge Emory Speer’s court, passed over the entire line of the Macon and Northern railroad Saturday and issued restraining orders on all agents and con ductor of the road, prohibiting them from paying any moneys collected off of the property of said company to Receiver J. 11.

Va., state that three thousand miners in that portion of the Monongahela valley began a strike Monday to force recognition of their labor organization. Tho operators declare they will close their mines per manently if necessary to win the strug gle. Considerable dissatisfaction exists among the union miners of Kanawha valley. It is probable that the strike will extend to that section. Ten thous and men will be affected. Joseph J.

Mr. Young is one of the officers of the American Construction Company, of Chicago, and represents the miuority stockholders of the road. He was for merly vice president and general mana ger. Other interests suggested another receiver, but Judge Swayne said he re garded Mr. Young as the best man to carry out the decrees of the court. LAND OFFICE REPORT.

The Ways anil Means Committee Make an Adverse Report. A Washington dispatch of Friday says: The committee on ways and means through Mr. Mc.Ylillin, to-day made a unanim- us report adverse to the sub treasury hill. The report is a long doc ument ind discus es all phases of the questio ma enmpri hensive style. It begins by defeiri g, lor a time,the ques tion of the constitutional ty of the bill, and proceeds to state objections that oc cur to the committee, 'they are briefly stated as follows: If there should be arc ducti n in the value of goods, after they are stored,below 80 per cent,the govern ment would lose; if h- valu increased the gQvernment »oulo get none of the profit. The jurisdiction of fudtr.il courts would be increased so as to make them att instrument of oppression to the peo ple. The bill tends s'rongly towards centralization and interference with in dividual freedom A great fluctuation in currency will follow its enactment. The inauguration of the scheme would be the speculator’s delight; he could carry $250,000 worth of wheat with less than $05,000 cash and pay the govern ment only 1 par cent interest. The gnat increase in the number of federal officials would make it almost im possible to dislodge a corrupt administration. No provision is made for the redemption of the many millions to he issu d under the bill and bauks would have the power to force the destruction of any part of the govern ment’s money. The bill is class legisla tion, and it would he unjust to the dsy labon r and other toilers. People having a particular kind of property to deposit could get mouey at one per cent from the government und lend it at a higher rate to other per ons. Lastly it is violative of the constitution as is shown by cita tions from the highest judicial tribunals of law. RAIN FURNISHED. The Goodyear Rain Company Begins Operations. A dispatch from Ft. Scott, Kan,, says: The Goodland Rain Company, organized last winter to tn .ke rain after the Mel bourne plan, commenced operations Sun day under contract with the farmers of Bourbon county to cause a fall of rain of half an inch over 500 square miles, the compensation being SI,OOO.

Skeptical people say natural conditions would have brought rain any way and that the farmers might have saved their SI,OOO. MUST BE AMERICANS Before they Can Man the Newly En rolled Steamers. A Waahington dispatch of Sunday lays : An interesting question has ben presented to the treasury in connection with the enrollment of the new Inman line steamers under the American flag. The officers of the ves-els are foreigners, 'Ut have applied for American naturali zation. The commissioner of navigation d* cidcd that the law requires them to be full fledged American citizen-.
