Saved Fis Life.
From the Detroit Free Frees.
In a stairway bit Woodward ave
nue Monday sat a inau who looked
the picture of sadness, and every
now and then ho pulled out a red
hankercluet with many holes and
rents in it, nud wiped tears from
his eyes; By and by a pedestrian
halted and asked:
Say, stranger, what ails you?
Oh, I dun no. I guess 1 feel sad.
You shouldn’t feel bad on new
year's day. It's the day in which
to brace up and swear oil.
That's just the point, replied the
man as lie brought out the handker
chief. I havou,t anything to swear
off from.
Don't you drink?
Not tt drop.
Nor smoke, nor chow?
Neither one; nor swear, gamble,
bet, nor lie.
Well, you must boa pretty good
man.
Oh! I am—l am! I'm too good.
The rest of you can resolve to-duy
not to rob or iteal again. You can
swear t/ff ou whisky and tobac
co and lay plans for economy, but
I've got to plod right along in the
old track.
Can't you think of olio single
point foLxolormation?
Not a point—not a one. I've sat
here (or r w hole hour trying to find
one single weakness, but I can't do
it. Stranger, it makes mo sad, and
you must excuso these tears. When
I realize that I *in so all-fired good
I am half iucliuod lo comifiit sui
cide,
111 tell you a point, old man.
Will you? Thunks! thanks! M hat
is i;?
Why don’t you l’osolve lo get your
ha';' cut, wash your face, clean out
nails, and put on a clean shirt?
Why don't I? I will? Thank
Iloavun, there is a show lor nto af
ter all! I'm not as good ns I thought
I was’ Yes, sir, 111 do it. Shake
with maj You have probably saved
my life, and my gratitude is un
bounded.
And then ho cried some more,
but they w< re tears of joy.
Saved by Sally.
From the Carson Appeal.]
Not long since a young man in
Carson got married and started for
California with his young wife. As
he boarded the train his father bade
him good-by and gave him the pater
nal blessing.
My son, said the aged sire, shaking
with emotion, etc., remember these
words if you never see me agin. Nev
er gojinto a place where you would
not take your wife.
The couple settled down in Maripo
sa county, and las: week the old man
w ent down to visit them. He pro
posed a bear hunt, and they were for
tunate enough to track a grizzly to his
lair among some of the bowlders in
tire chapparel. As the two approach
ed, the bear roused up a:.d sent forth
a growl of defiance which shook the
trees.
Go in there and kill 'im, said the
old man excitedly.
The son held, back, further acquain
tance with the bear seeming in some
respects undesirable.
Count me out, he said.
Have I crossed the seas and settled
in America to raise a coward ? shout
the father, brandishing a gun.
I but recollect yoUf advice when I
left Carson, was the reply. How can
I forget your sage precepts. Didn’t
you tell me never fo gc where I could
not take my wife ? How would Sal
look in there wiih that bear ?
The old man clasped his son to his
bosom, and as the bear issued forth,
exclaimed :
Speaking of Sally, let us hasten
home; our prolonged absence might
cause her needless alarm.
In about fifteen minutes they had
reached the ranche, the old man a lit
tle ahead, and the distance was about
four miles.
Charley B Dowe need a corres
pondent at Des Moines? No, Char
ley, we do not. Des Moihcs is the
only place where wfe do not need a
correspondent. We joyfully wallow
in corresdfence from' every other place
on this broad con tinent, but We can
not have a correspondent at Des
Moines. An early flame of our lives
in Des Moines. We are parted now
forever. It was not that our love cool
ed, or that she died yoting. No,
Charles, the trouble we had with that
love affair was not that she diedyoung,
but that her father didn’t. The hull
dog likewise, Was not at all tired.
You see now why We have hallowed
associations With Des" Moines which
makes it painful to uS to read corres
pondence from that place—Puck.

Rat, Cat and Puppy Pie-
China Letter in the Troy I'imen.
In Canton we Visited a restau
rant where cats, rata and dogs were
served for food. Dog steak, fried rat
or cat stew were to be had at any
hour. It lias been often denied nlld
mail}' affirm that it is only one of
the old Peter Parley's storios that
the Chinese eat those things. Bat
it is true. We sawn whole puppy
stewed in a largo kettle. Wo sow
a table full of men satisfying their
hunger with dog meat, and they at
with a hearty relish. We saw cats
and pups in cages for sale and rats
huug up waiting for purchasers. The
dishes looked savory and the price of
a meal was dog cheap, but we did not
indulge in any bow-wow soup or fe
line steak or rodent pot-pie. Wc
weren’t hungry just then. The Cel
estials will tell you rat number one
good eatee, and show you rats skin
ned, rats salted, rats dried, rats hung
up by the tail arid rats strung on
strings. If you doubt the genuine
ness of the article the proprietor will
show you the meat with the hair and
tail attached for identifyeation.
Cat meat is said to be a fine tonic
and rat is good for bald-head men.
Puppies and ki’tens are generally pre
ferred ; old dogs and tom cats are apt
to be rather tough. Black cats are
supposed to be more nutritious than
white ones, hence the following ad
vertisemens seen in a shop window :
Black cats served hot at all hours ;also
snakes, rats and dogs.
A Cold Day for John Henry-
John Henry had been boasting of
what a mash he had undo on his
girl. He said it would be a mighty
cold day if lie got left. The girl
heard of it, bill Jehu llenry didn't
know it, ami went to see her as us
ual. lie rang the bell and the ser
vant appeared.
Is Miss Mary at home? he said,
with a until".
Yes, ir, bid slut's engaged.
How's that? said he, in aimiz—
mont.
Neither fellow In th parlor.
V hut does it mean?
Don't know, only she’ told me to
tell yon it was a mighty cold (lay
and you'd better button up your
overcoat or you'd git froze goin'
borne.
The next day John Henry told
thobovslhat Ilia thermometer had
dropped clear off the nail at his girl's

The Fanjjs of a Rattlesnake.
A physician who canlured ft rat
tlesnake proceeded to dissect the
head for his amusement nnd infor
mation. Taking one aido of its
head, he extracted tire fang, when,
lying cloße by this, ho found anoih
er lung a little shorter than the first,
ready to take its playo when the
long one should be broken off or
fall out. Next tp the second fang
wfts a third, find next to ibis ft
fourth, and after the fourth a fifth,
each, as it was found, proving just
a little shorter and a little smaller
than tho ones found just before it.
So that the serpent sas endowed
with five fangs on one side of its
mouth, each to come into use in
regal The physician
dissected only one part of the snake’s
head, but ibis''proved to bis satis
faction that the current belief that
a rattlesnake has only one fang oa
each side of the head is a very er
roneous belief as applied to nil
snakes of this species.
