Disguise it rag aa B^ie w^>B * ie wj§wants is to come ilWim '*B**'’ over and rob So • phia Jane of her prospects, but let her beware I I have my head set for business, and “the likes of her shall not prevail against me.” I believe that is in the Bible somewhere, but if it is not, it is just as true as preach ing. Don’t you think! Miss Hessbold has left, and so I am out of that boarder. You see she had been here about ten days, and, as I needed a little change, I asked her for a week’s board. She Hew mad in a minute, and after we quarreled she took her things and left without paying a cent. She says George is a fool, and that his mother is a fool with a little “d.”" lam trying to find out what “d” means, but have not struck it yet in my dictionary. Daddy and mammy came the next day after I wrote you the last letter, and that was one thing that made Miss Hessbold leave. She said she didn’t like grannies—much she knows about it, as she is an orphan. All that ails her is that she got down on George since Solomon was here. I think she is a wolf in sheep’s clothing anyhow, and the fleece is pretty well worn out besides. Daudy and mammy did not sell out —the man who was to buy backed out —but they are going to stay here awhile, to see how they like it. The soap-grease butter came all right. It is so white-livered that lam going to work it over and put in some grated carrots to give it a fine color. I notice granny won’t touch the butter, and daddy thinks the bread don’t taste like it used to when he was a boy. He is so childish that ho believes anything he is told, and so I make him think it is his taste, but granny won’t take stuff ing so easily. With granny and daddy and the clerk we expect to make money, and I tell you Sophia Jane shall have some clothes. The clerk is rather tall and slim—all bones and no pussyness —and he walks so straight that if he ever falls it will be backward, for his center of gravity is in his heels. However, he is good-natured, and praises up the victuals, and yet don’t eat much. The clerk and daddy are good friends, but father don’t like him; it is just like him to be contrary, you know. I heard him wish once that he had a seed-wart on the end of his nose, so I wouldn’t keep telling folks how handsome he was. Goodness knows, he isn’t troubled much with beauty nowadays. But I must tell you about Sophia Jane's aspiring to teach school for girls; you know how hard it is for her to learn, and she never had a chance to go to college and cover up her ig norance of the common branches by flaunting a diploma in people’s Places. You see, Elmira Diggings took the Shucknest school last fall, and she carried a first-class certificate, but her government whsn’t worth <*ftrrying out on a shovel, and when the big boys got through shucking corn they came in for a big time, and I gues3 they had it, for they filled ink-bottles with pow der and put them on the stove to pop, chewed gum and spit on the floor, and called the teacher such names that she left. We heard about it, as the school is only three miles from here, and, remembering our checking the riot at the meeting I told you about, I said to Sophia Jane, “Wade in, pound the school, and get yourself up as a schoolmam.” We went out to see the director, and he was high up for her having the school, but he said she must be examined and get a certificate. This staggered her, for she calculated teaching on her sand, and didn t care a rat for the learning; nevertheless, she is not one to give up when once her foot is in, and, besides, triumph and money are worth fighting for. So she went over to see tho County Super intendent and be examined. She spent two days writing the ex amination and came home jubilant, feeling sure she had written so much that he would giant her a certificate regardless of any seeming fallacies. She hadn’t heard from him on Monday, but, feeling sure of her success, she be gan the school promptly at 9 o’clock by rapping on her desk for order. There was a big brute of a boy who wouldn’t come in, and it made Sophia Jane so mad that she bawled out, and, not knowing his name, she called him “Long-legged Jim” for short, and told him if he didn’t come in she would fetch him in by tho hair. At this he flew in her face and wanted to fight, but Sophia Jane, the brave soul, shook her fist under his nose, and he conclud ed all at once to take his seat and be decent. She began by bearing the primer class say their a, b, cs, when a big lubber of a boy called out: “Miss, them childer can read, and tain't stylo now to hear alphabets.” Well, you know “how great a matter a little ire kindleth,” as Ben Thompson says, and Sophia Jane never was built to stand impudence; so she just asked him what grade of certificate he carried, and how much he would charge to keep his mouth shut. He stopped when she told him she was educated beforo he was born, and that Daniel Webster began his education by learn ing the alphabet, and that kind of learning was good enough for her. So she went on, and when they got through she called out the Fifth Header class. There were three big girls, fite big boys, and one cute little Johnny in the class, and they all looked as ignorant as the trash of Brush Hollow'. Sophia Jane chuckled to herself as she thought liow she would swamp them on the big words. The. head one began reading a piece w hich begins, ‘Now that tho epoch of their ominous ordeal was past, with jaunty air and hypocritical raillery the scathless vil lains made inquiry. ” “Stop!” said Sophia Jane; “you don’t know enough to last a bedbug over night; the idea of your reading epock instead of eposli, calling railery rallery, and pronouncing inquiry with long i is enough to make an educated teacher like myself disgusted,” and then she called on the next in a dead monotone, but cute little Johnny spoke up and saic^ “Please, mi3s, our other teacher was a first-class, and she called the words the same as he did, and she looked in Webster to see.” Sophia Jane cast a withering glance, straightened herself on tip-toe, and, pointing her finger scorn-like at him, she said: “Smarty, if your other teacher knew so much, why on earth didn’t you keep her?” This silenced him, and she was about to go on, when there came a knock at the door, and in came the Director, tlie Superintendent, and a lady teacher. Sophia Jane took the hint, and when the Superintendent told her she had failed to make an av erage, and he had brought a teacher along with him, and she could dismiss the class, she just took her things and made her exit. What on earth the Superintendent meant by average is more than either of us know. Sohia Jane don’t remem ber of studying such a branch, and I am inclined to think the new teacher is some relative, and that he stumped Sophia J ane in average on purpose to defeat her. Let him also beware! We have tongues in our head, and elec tion time is coming. Phvletus voted for him the time he run, but he will not fail to remember the blight on Sophia Jane’s education next fall. Homely Kate has just arrived and I must close. I don’t think much of your allpwing her to come over here and eat our substance, and perhaps rob Sophia J ane of her prospects. Your afflicted sister, Tryphena Higgins. —Chicago Ledger. IT IVAS AWFUL. Xli® Only Thing That Made the Neighbors Hope Was Their Belief That It Would Not Last. It was by the merest accident that I happened to hear the following dis tressing conversation between young Mr. and Mrs. Mushy. They had just returned from their wedding tour, and were about to undergo the mortal agony of their first separation, for Mushy was going back to his office desk, there to remain for four long, weary, dreadful hours. “How shall I ever live a whole half day without you, dearie?” whispered Mrs. Mushy. “You won’t miss me much, will you, darling?” “Miss you? O Horace?” “Ever and ever so much ?” “Every moment will seem an age!’ “My darling!” “And you will come home just as soon as ever you can, dearie ?” “You know that I will.” “O Horace! I’m so glad!” “Glad you are my ora dear little wifey ?” “Yes, darling.” “I’m a thousand, thousand times glad!” “You old darling?” “But now I really must go!” “O Horace!” “There, there! The little girly must not cry. ” “I just oan’t help it, Horace. Its so hard to soe you go! Why must we ever be separated for a single hour ? It is too cruel!” “But I’ll be back so soon. Be a brave little woman!” “O Horace! I can’t!” “But you must. I’m not worth cry ing for.” “Yes you are, too.” “Indeed I’m not, Birdie.” “Indeed you are!” “Well, well, sweetheart, I’m off now. Just one more kiss.” He took a dozen and then gasped out: “Just one more.” “I’ve a mind to keep tight hold of you, and not let you go at all,” she whispered. “\\ hat would you do with ugly old me around all the time?” “I’d be the happiest woman in all the wide world!” “No ?” “I would!” “You don’t love me that much?” “Love you? O, Horace!” “You little precious!” “You dear old boy!” He took another, and another, and a few more. She also seemed to be helping herself to a bountiful supply. Then he said: “Good-by, darling.”—“ls it time for you to really go?”—“lndeed it is. Good-by, birdie.” “G-o-o-d-by—pr ecious! Are you sure your watch isn’t too fast?”—“Oh, it’s just right. Good by, wifey, dear.”—“By-by, darling. Gome home just the minute you can.” —“Yes, indeed; I’ll run all the way.”— “You dear fellow! Good-by!”—- “Good-by. Throw me a kiss.” “Good by, my treasure boy!” The door bangs and I hear him go down the steps, and I think the -agony is ended. But the next moment the door opens, his head pops in and he says: “Just one more kiss; I couldn’t go without it. ” He doesn’t go without it and a good many others besides, and gasps. “Now I am off - .” Then he goes out to the corner, walk ing backward half the way, and flutter ing his handkerchief. I catch sight of a dainty little bit of cambric waving from the window below my room, and I drop into a chair in all the queru lousness and cynicism of my old baclielorhood, and says: “Well, I hope to goodness it will last; but I just don’t believe it will. II I felt sure it would, I—l—don’t know but I’d get married myself.”— Zenas Dane, in Christmas Puck. A Vermont man bought a picture of a hen w hich was so lifelike that the day he brought it home, his wife broke two panes of glass trying to drive it out of the house. THINGS DOCTORS DO NOT KNOW. Their Ignornncn lllnetrrUed In the Robin eon Poisoning Case*. There was a commotion among the doctors at a reoent meeting of the Massachusetts Medico- Legal Society, when it was found that reporters for secular newspapers wore taking notos. Pa pers bearing specially on the notorious Robin son arsenical poisoning cases had been an nounced. Dr. Holt declared that there was genoral ig norance of the symptoms of arsenical poisoning, and claimed that because of this ignorance the Robinson poisoning cases had gone on without arousing suspicions on the part of medical men. There were, he said, at least eight cases of criminal poisoning ; seven occurred within five years, and in one family, and theo ther was that of a relative. The cases wero all treated by physicians of large praotice, prominent in tho profession, and yet no suspicion of arsenical poisioning was aroused until an organization in which the victims were insured tried to determine by investigation why so many persons died sudden ly in this family. In support of his statement as to the ignor norance of medical men of the symptoms of arsenical poisoning, tho doctor remarked that certificates of death were given in five of the Robinso# cases as follows : pueumonia, typhoid fever, meningitis, bowel disease and Bright's disease. The startling disclosure of tho stupid ignor ance shown in the treat,nv nt of those cases is quite in keeping with tho usual indiscretion manifested by the profession in the treatment of persons who are sufferers from the sloand subtle poison which is generated in the system fiom a di-u ased state of tho kidneys. The afflicted «ro treated fur consumption, apoplexy, for bra n and various nervous disor ders, when in m >gt instances, it is shown, w.ten too late, that.the patient was wrongfully and ignorantly treated for a supposed disease winch was, in reality, but a symptom of kidney dis i ase, and should have been timely treated as such by the use of Warner’s Safe Cure, which is the only r medy known that can he successfully relied on in the treatment of such disease. Such exhibitions of stupidity by those who piofess great intelligence in suck matters is caloulat d to destroy confidence, and it can be well laid that a remedy like Warner’s Safe Cure, which places tho direct means of preserv ing health in the sufferer’s hands, is far more meritorious than high-priced medical advice which is so generally worthless and too often based upon an erroneous opinion as to the trus cause of Illness. Human life is just a little too precious to the average individual to be sacrificed to the bigot ry or lgnoranco of others. Immense Vessels. In addition to the 38 war ships of one kind or another now in construction by the British, 70 more are to be laid down at a cost of £22,000,000, making 501 war ships by 1894. Of all the war ves sels of the United States, the largest and most powerful will be the Maine. She will be 310 feet long, with a displace ment of 0,648 tons and a horse power of 9,000. She will have two batteries and her armor will be 11 inches thick. She will be a very ugly customer to attack. A Georgia physician writes to tha Conititution, of Atlanta, that the solution used in the hand grenades now offered so extensively for sale is easily and cheaply made by taking twenty pounds of common salt, ten pounds of sal am moniac (muriate of ammonia, to be had of any druggist), and dissolving in seven gallons of water. When it is dis solved it can be bottled and kept in each room in the house. In casa of fire, one or two bottles should ba thrown with force into the burning place, hard enough to break them, and the fire will certainly be extinguished. That Tired Feeling: Is experienced by almost every one at this season, aod many people resort to Hood's Sarsaparilla to drive away the languor and exhaustion. The blood, laden with Impurities which have been accumulat ing for months, moves sluggishly through tho veins, the mind falls co think quickly, and the body Is still slower to respond. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is Just what Is needed. It purifies, vitalises and en riches tho blood, makes the head clear, creates an appetite, overcomes that tired feeling, tones tho nervous system, and imparts new strsßfftli and vigor to the whole body. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is proven to bom vastly superior to any other sarsa parilla, or btaod purifier, that one has Veil sold: “Its health-gMng effects upon Ike blood and entire human organism are as muff more positive than the remedies of a quarter of a century ago as the steam power of to-day is in advance of the slow and laborious drudgery of years ago." “For years I was sick every spring, but last year took Hood’s Sarsaparilla and have not been sick since.”—G.

Several years ago an a-tist of Dresden Eersuaded a locksmith there to give up is trade aud become an artists’ model. It was a good thing for the locksmith, who is now the famous “muscle man of Dresden," whose magnificently develop ed body makes him probably the most renowned model in the world. In order to preserve for future artists an exact duplicate of his extraordinary figure the director of the Royal Saxon Povzellan fabrik at Meissen reoently invited him there that a cast from life might be taken of the upper part of his body. It is said that “his muscular development is to complete aud detained that even the least and slightest cord of every muscle stands forth prominently, aud his whole body looks as if it were woven to gether or plaited like basket work. His muscles have such a hardness that they feel to the touch as if they were carved in wood. She Forgot. A piece dramatized from a novel by Miss Braddon was damned by oversight. A scene wns introduced in which a child was kidnapped from its mother, and at the end, when all w T ere made happy, the restoration of the child was taken for granted. It was the fault of the novel ist and passed unnoticed for quite a min ute after the fall of the curtain. Then a “god” leaned over from the balcony and solemnly inquired: “What about that kid?” The piece was swamped in au in extinguishable burst of laughter.

This remarkable person is a king in exile. King Ja Ja, of Opobo, West Africa, who for many years lorded it over a small district among the Oil rivers of the Niger delta. The king appears at the government house recep tions and other state occasions. He wears an admiral’s coat with immense bullion epaulettes, over a yellow plush vest with big, green enamel buttons. The vest is cut very low, displaying a large area of immaculate liuen. His jean trousers have broad stripes of blue an 1 red, and black silk hose and a pair of gorgeous, flower-embroidered slippers cover his neither extremities. On his head he wears a broad-brimmed hat of African manufacture, something like a sombrero, and in the band are stuck at uniform distances, five long ostrich feathers. In his ears are gold rings of unique design, and encircling his neck is a collar of sharks’ teeth, with a bear’s tooth tripped with gold by way of a pen dant.
