There isn’t a man in the world but thinks a woman has an easy time, and there isn’t one, if he had to go through the fuss and bother of being one, who wouldn’t l)e in an insane asylum in less than a year. In the bast place, you must look well. A man can be as ugly as home made sin and still be populait Whiskers cover up the most of his face, and even though he has a mouth big enough to take whole mince pie at a bite, nobody suspects it. as wrinkles, nobody thinks be is getting old. but talk about the lines of care on his forehead- Lines of care! in sin If humph! In nine cases out of ten those lines of care were caused by him scold ing his wife when dinner was two minutes late, or when one of those masculine buttons popped oil', and, oh, my, what a hullabaloo he sets up then. But nobody says anything about lines of care on her forehead 1 Oh, no! Andaman’s nose might put a blood rod beet to shame; but nobody suspects lie drinks. Ob, no! A woman must always be just so, must look charming and sweet, no matter how sour she feels; she must sing, and play on the piano and say something nice to everybody. Her dress must hang and lit just so, have the latest pucker, even it is was made in old Noah’s time. She must wear a No. 3 shoe on a No. 5 foot, and look well dressed on 75 cents a week. She can’t go out alone at night, as woman must be protected; she can't be a Free mason, as she’d tell all about the goat and the greased pig; she can’t whistle, climb fences, stone cats, or say what she feels when she gets mad. She can’t go a-courting, but must manage some way to get married before she is 25, or everybody will feel terribly hurt over it and sigh and wonder why she “don’t take,” and all the old maids and widows in the neighborhood will smile and nudge each other. Oh, those significant glances arc fifty times worse than open slander. It’s an awful thing to be an old maid and everybody knows it. Even the women who are married to drunken husbands, and fight and quarrel the seven days out of the week, live in an agony of spirit over her and talk about the poor old maid. And if she has had a sweetheart once, and he goes with any one else now, people smile when they see her and quietly remark: “She got left,” when, in all nrobability, he was the one who got left. But she must marry well, and marry well means marry rich, and to get marriedj in some people’s minds, is the whole aim of a woman’s existence. And when a woman does get married the whole town put their heads to gether and talk over the matter; if she is good enough for him; no mention is made whether he is good enough for her or not. Oh! no. Then they will relate anecdotes, how stingy her grandfather was; how lazy her Aunt Polly was, and how her grand mother used to sell beans and butter milk, and sweeten her coffee with mo lasses. She must be a good cook, and do up her husband’s shirts so that when ho goes down town, past a Chinese laundry, John will gnash his teeth, grow green and yellow with hate and envy, and twirl his pig tail in the air with the same unholy passion. She must be able to lay her hand on every thing in a second’s time that her lord and master may* want, for a man never knows where to find anything. He will put the bootjack away, ten derly hide it in the darkest corner of the closet., then he’ll turn the house upside down, from the top to the bot tom, and suddenly appear to liis wife, with a countenance like that of the avenging angel, and demand: “What in thunder have you done with the bootjack?” Slie must shut all the doors, likewise all the bureau drawers, for a man never was known to shut either. A woman always has to go to bed first in cold weather. Ho never asks her to do this. Oh, no; wants to “finish this piece in the paper, dear,” and waits until she has the sheets to a comfortable temperature. She must always take care of the baby, even though the first infantile wonder has multiplied into a round half or three-fourths of a dozen, as the may be. If lie doubles up How Peter Johnson Paid His Passage Over the Atlantic. Old I’eter Johnson, a familiar “land mark” of South street, and who, in the memory of the oldest dock baud in j this city, has never been known to stir ! away from his seat on an old box at I the corner of South street and Coenties j slip, tells a most remarkable tale of i the troubles through which he had to : pass to become an American citizen and to run away from his birthplace in Sweden. It seems that Peter, whose name is not Peter at all, but something in which all the letters of the alphabet are combined, was born in a little hamlet in Sweden. Ever since he first read a translation of “Robinson Crusoe,” at the afje of 10, Peter had a violent passion for the sea. One day iie beard of America. He asked how far oli’ this great land might be, and his father replied that it was on the other side of the great Irish sea and across the Atlantic. The next day Peter made up a little bundle of neces saries and started oil’ to find this glori ous Eldorado. He reached Leis, a ; small fishing port on the coast of Swe den. Walking along the wharves ho saw ! a bark of about 800 tons that was ad vertised to start for New York on that 1 very day. He had never beard of New York, but as he clambered over the port rail of the little ship he blindly I hoped that it was somewhere near his i goal. On board he found all deserted. By accident Peter stumbled into the hold of the ship. He secreted himself among a number of barrels, and, as be was very tired, he fell asleep. About ten hours afterward he was awakened by a peculiar clunking noise. The ship was rolling horribly. Her wooden sides were being strained to the utmost extent, and Peter’s heart stood still. “Well, the end of it was',” said the old man last evening to the waiter, “that I went on deck. I was a mighty sick eolloose, I can tell you. But 1 wasn’t too sick to see that something hor'ble had happened, The rap’n stood near the wheel looking hope lessly toward shore and didn’t even notice me. The sea was runnin’ high. A heavy gale had caught us to lee ward and we had sprung a leak. Our ship was pretty fast and we were out of sight oi land. The leak was a big one and our ship was fillin’ fast. All the men were at work at the pumps, but the water was gainin’ on ’em and they were losin’ heart and hope. When the cap’n saw me he did didn’t fire off and cat tail me. No; he jest caught me by the shoulder here and he jest looked up to heaven thus way, and he jest said, ‘Thank God I’ sorter happy like. “Then he hurried me down into the hold and then he said somethin’ to one of the men as was at the pumps. The man went away, but he soon come back an’ told the Cap that all wgs right. “Then the Cap’n he took me down into the bow of the old bulk. That’s wlier’ she’d sprung a leak. Ther’ was a hole ’bout the size of your body on the starboard side. The Cap’n, he and the man then cotchcd me up, an’, mates, would you believe it? they just stuck me in that hole up to my arm- pits, they did, blast me if they didn’t. It was mighty oncomfortable to me, but it stopped the water from flowin’ in. After a while the water was all pumped out, au' then the carpenter fixed the hole. For my part of the work the Cap’n gave me a free pass age, and here I am.” And then old Peter Johnson closed his teeth on an old clay pipe, nor would he open them again to say one word in explanation of his strange ad venture.—New York Evening Sun. A TERRIBLE ELEPHANT HUNT. with the colic, whooping cough or the necessary evils of cutting teeth, paregoric, bad temper, short sleeves, bare legs and pins sticking in him, lie wants to know why she don’t keep her baby quiet, and speaks as if she alone was to blame for the racket. When she feels bad nobodv tucks a shawl over her on the coucli, or cod dles her as a man has to be coddled under such circumstances. Nobody closes the door any softer when her head is splitting with a headache. Now if there is a man living who thinks a woman has an easy time just let him have his hair pulled to the top of his head and a pound more pinned on that, get into a pair of corsets, tie half a dozen Republics around his waist, get into a dress that he can’t more than breathe in, and can’t put his hands to his head without popping open a sleeve, and be a woman awhile and see how he likes it himself.— Douglass Lee in St. Louis Republic. The L.ist Cargo of Slaves. Probably the most interesting char acter hereabouts, says The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, is a negro man who was one of the cargo of the Wanderer, the last slave ship to bring to this country a load of captives from Africa. Lucius Williams, as he was christened by one of the young ladies of the fam ily into which he was sold, or “Um- valla,” as lie was called in Africa, liver in a small hut on the outskirts of Not Exactly a Compliment. Husband—Professor Widehead paid you a very fine compliment after dinner last night, my dear. Wife—Oli, did he; what did he say? Husband—He said that you weren’t handsome, but you were one of the most intelligent women he ever met. Wife—Professor Wliat’s-his-name has received his last invitation from me.— Time. Hamburg, across the river from here. Since freedom he has earned . a liveli hood working gardens, sawing wood and whitewashing. lie was a little surprised when asked about his early life, but talks well once he has begun, requiring to be questioned fre quently, however. Umwalla was born in Guinea, according to his story, not Liberia. One day when he was about 10 years of age he was sent to his aunt to carry her some pinders to plant. When he was going through the woods two strange black men seized him and bound his hands. He cried terribly and they soon gagged him. They sold him to a native, who took him to Liberia. There, for the first time in his life, he saw a white man. and he was terribly frightened at him. Umwalla was then taken to the Wanderer, where a large number of captives had already beeu stored away in the hold. When the Wanderer approached the South Carolina coast she was sighted by a government boat and given , chase. During the night she dropped anchor off Pocotaligo and the cargo of negro men and women was debarked. Umwalla, or. as lie was soon after ward called, Lucius, was taken to a Carolina plantation near Bench island and put to work there. Sparrows Waoted. The agricultural department at Wash ington has sent an order for 100 spar rows to Mr. Hill, a professional bird catcher at Indianapolis, for the use of the “economic ornithological bureau," for “scientific purposes.’’ Within a little over a year Mr. Hill has caught about 44.000 sparrows.—Chicago News. A Brave Boy Meets His Fate While Bant ing in Africa. Sitting about the camp fire on the banks of the Chobe river, in Africa, Professor J. W. Edwards heard the story of an elephant hunt that affected him more than any experience he ever passed through, says a writer in The American Field. Burns, a. trader in Natal, was the author of the^iarrative, and told it as follows: “I was trading in the interior, and on one of my visits to Natal was im portuned by George Wilson, a lad of 19, the son of an old schoolmate, to ac company me oil one of my tours. I obtained his mother’s consent, and we started. The boy was a bright, cour ageous lad, and was ambitious to dis tinguish liimse'if with liis rifle. Early one morning in Water valley we saw a herd of fifteen elephants grazing about a mile from us,^ We started them up, and picking out a fine bull with good tusks, I started to cut him off, and telling George to ride behind while I charged them. Soon I had the old fellow out of the pack, and gave him a shot behind the ear that stag gered him a little. Then we crossed fired him for half an hour, but could not get any good shots. AJ1 at once the horse George was riding stumbled, throwing him and falling on his leg. I was so horrified that I could not move; but finally, seeing George’s at tempts to extricate himself, I tried to draw the elephant’s attention to me. The brute was thoroughly enraged, however, and charged for the lad just as be was getting on liis feet. Then followed one of the greatest fights be tween brute and man I ever saw. Off went George, the elephant after him, while I followed, firing bullet after bullet into his bide. “All at once 1 saw that Wilson was lame. I leveled at once and fired, and the boy turned around and did like wise. This checked the brute for a moment, but seeing George running again he made a furious charge and caught up with him. Up went his trunk, and a moment after the poor lad was dead on the ground, crushed by the blow. Not satisfied, the brute began goring the lad in a frightful manner. I rode up to the beast and sent in two shots that brought him to his knees. He tried to rise, but could not, and, after two or three shots, rolled over and died. The poor lad was lorn in pieces. I placed his body across my horse, chopped off the beast’s tusks and rode back to camp. We buried him near the springs and piled rocks over his grave to keep the wol ves from getting at it. I took the boy’s watch and chain, with his wearing ap parel, to his mother, and I can tell you, lads, I never wish to witness such a scene again. The poor woman died a year afterward, but would never touch the profits of the trip, saying that she would take nothing that was the means of killing her boy.” Mental Contagion. Error, like truth, flourishes in crowds. At the hearth of sympathy How French Coffee is Made. The French have the reputation of making the best coffee. • Their method is very different from the American method. They take a great deal of care in making this favorite beverage, and the result is that when French coffee is taken one drinks the pure flavor of the berry. They always grind the berries just before they are to be used, and do not let a quantity of ground coffee stand and get stale. The French cook then pours boiling water on the ground coffee; then she filters this, and, after boiling the water again, pours it on the coffee once more. Tiffs is repeated a third time. She never boils the coffee and water together, nor puts the coffee in cold water and then let it boil. < The French do not know how to make good tea, but they give this recipe as the proper way to make tea: Pour boil ing water on the leaves and then turn it out of the pot. Then pour one-third of the water required, and place the pot over a steaming apparatus in order to let it draw without boiling. After a while add another third, and then the last third. In tiffs way the full flavor and strength of the tea is ob tained.—New York Mail and Express. Chinese Beggars. ‘ A waiter in a Shanghai journal, re ferring to the beggars of China, says that large donations are given to them by the people, but these are in the na ture of an insurance. In the cities the beggars are organized into very pow erful guilds, more powerful by far than any organization with which they can have to contend, for the beg gars have nothing to lose and uotlffn^ to fear, in which respects they stand alone. The shop keeper who should refuse a donation to 'a stalwart beggar, after the latter had waited fora rea sonable time and has besought with what the lawyers call “due diligence,” would be liable to invasion from a horde of famished wretches, who would render the existence even of a stolid Chinese a burden, and who would utterly prevent the transaction of any business until their continually rising demands should be met. Both the shop keepers and the beggars un derstand this perfectly well, and it is for this reason that the gifts flow in a steady, if tiny, rill.—London Times. each finds a borne. The fanatical lean, the saner follow. When a peisou of nervous temperament, not strongly in dependent in thought and action, en ters a spiritualistic circle, where he is constantly surrounded by confident believers, all eager to have him share their sacred visions and profound rev elations, where the atmosphere is re plete with miracles and every chair and table may at any instant be trans formed into a proof of the supernat ural, is it strange that he soon becomes one of them?—hesitatingly at first, and perhaps yet restorable to his former modes of thought by ilie fresh air of another and more steadfast mental in- tercourse, but more and more certainly and ardently convinced the longer lie breathes the seance atmosphere. No form of contagion is so insidious in its onset, so difficult to check in its advance, so certain to leave germs that may at any moment reveal their per nicious power, as a mental contagion —the contagion of fear, of panic, of fanaticism, of lawlessness, of supersti tion. The story of the witchcraft per secutions. were there no similar records to deface the pages of history, would suffice as a standing illustration of the overwhelming power of psychic con tagion. To fully illustrate its import ance in the production of deception would require an essay in itself. It enters at every stage of the process and in every type of illusion. It has least effect when deception is carried on by external arrangements, by skillful counterfeits of logical inferences; its power is greatest where the subjective factor in deception is greatest, more particularly in such forms of deception as have been last described. —Professor Joseph Jastrow in Popular Science Monthly. The Seventh Son. In France a seventh son in direct succession is called a mareoy. In Or leans, during the present century, the following was written concerning the marcou: “If a man is the seventh son of his father, without any female in tervening. he is a marcou; he lias on some part of his body the mark of a fleur de lis, and, like the kings of France, he has the power of curing the king’s evil. All that is necessary to effect a cure is that the marcou should breathe upon the part affected, or that the sufferer should touch the mark of the fleur de lis. Of all the marcous of the Orleannais, he of Ormes is the best known and the most celebrated. Every year, from twenty, thirty, forty leagues around, crowds of patients come to visit Him; but it is particularly in holy week that his power is most efficacious; and on the uight of Good Friday, from midnight to sunrise, the cure is certain. A darker superstition concerning the seventh son exists in Portugal. It is there believed that the unfortunate being who is the seventh male in direct succession, is in the power of the Prince of Darkness, by whom he is compelled, on every Saturday even ing. to assume the appearance of an ass. In this guise, and accompanied by a troup of dogs, he is compelled to race ov^)r moor and through village until the light of the Sabbath dawns, when he may resume his human form for another week.—F. S. Bassett in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Reporters as Waiters. It appears that the ingenious re porter who, during the visit of Em peror William and King Humbert to Naples, disguised himself as a waiter, and succeeded in establishing himself behind the kaiser’s chair during the banquet that followed the naval re view, is not to be credited with the conception of au original idea in journalism. An English scribe, dur ing the Fran co-Prussian war, when tlie French general Bataille occupied Saarbrucken for a brief period, and had his meals sent from a hotel in the town to liis tent on the hill, assisted in taking him his food, dressed as a knight of the napkin, and, in conse quence, was enabled to send to bis paper an account of what he had seen and heard. Again, when the lieuten ancy of the city of London went to Windsor to present its congratulations on the recovery of the Prince of Wales, a newspaper man, in an imita tion Windsor uniform, joined the dep utation, and, although stopped at the door of the throne room, eventually sat down with the luncheon party in the Waterloo chamber.—Frank Les lie's Three Very Excellent Reasons. A parson and liis parish at Ad; lui.k . Australia, recently parted with 111111 iff willingness, and in his farewell dis- | course the minister freed liis mind as follows: “I uo not regret our separa tion, dear brethren, for three good and valid reasons. The first is that you don’t love me, the second that you don’t love one another, and the third that God does not love you. You don’t love mo—my salary is several months in arrears; you don’t love one another, or there would not bo sucli a dearth of marriages among you; and God doesn iTseeai to love you as you ought to be loved, because there nave been no funerals among you lately • ’ ‘‘One of Us Mnst Die.” A tragic occurrence took place at a small farm called Hendre Mochtre, near Newtown, Montgomeryshire, on Tuesday evening. The tenant of the .. a man named Abraham Morris, .... it his son Edward, 25 years of age, had been drinking together at a public house a short distance from their house. Cn their way home about 11 o’clock a quarrel arose between them, and on arriving at Hendre the son challenged the father to fight. The latter refused, whereupon the son said: “One of us must die,” and immediately took a loaded gun winch stood near at hand, and. resting the stock on the ground, with the barrel pointing to his head, he pulled the trigger. A farm servant rushed forward, but it was too late to prevent the gun going off. Death was instantaneous. To add to the painful character of the affair the mother and two sisters, as well as tire father of tlio deceased, were present.— Pall Mall Gazette. . . “Waif Till I Kill a Man.” I was sitting in Janies O'Neill’s dressing room at the Bijou theatre on Saturday afternoon during the third act of “Monte Cristo.” It was tlie inn scene, where the innkeeper's wife tries to murder Noirtier. Mr. O'Neill has a ten minute wait in this scene, and, in the garb of the priest, with a cigar in his mouth, he was chatting away about Fechter and other celebrities that have passed from the earthly stage forever. Suddenly he arose, laid down his cigar, and stepped to the door to listen. ‘Ah, I thought so,” he said. “Excuse me a moment. I have to go and kill a man,” and disappeared. A moment later there was a confusion of loud voices on tlie stage, concluding with a ring in'* “One! " in the rich tones of Mr. O’Neill. Then there was the peculiar roar into which applause resolves it self when it reaches the back of the stage, followed by the rumble of the falling curtain. “I’ve killed him,' said the priest with a smile, as he pro ceeded to change his dress for that of the Count. I may remark en passant that Mr. O'Neill is a most entertaining companion, besides being a sterling actor. Pittsburg Bulletin. fjarper & Brothers’ Periodicals Vviwww \.www\ 1889. HARPER’S MAGAZINE.
