“Wliolo I\To. 160.
BPS*. There is in Pekin a •‘House with
Chicken Feathers,” where houseless vaga
bonds may sleep for one mill (the tenth part
of a cent) a night. In an immense hall the
floor is covered two or three feet with chick
en feathers The customers are introduced
into this hull and take the first place they
can find ; they disappear in the feathers aa
if they were in water. All ages and both
sexes lie pell-mell together. Over this
downy bed hangs a canopy as large as the
naif itself; the canopy is made of felt and
is perforated with as many oval holes as tho
hall may contain sleepers. When the hour
is struck for the closing of doors the cano
py is lowered to the floor. Every sleeper
hastens to thrust his head through in order
to breathe fresh air and escape being suffo
cated by the feathers. At the hour of ri
sing a gong sounds and each sleeper pulls
his Lead out of the hole to avoid being stran
gled by the canopy, which is pulled up to
the celling by blocks and pulleys. Tins se
cures the waking of all tho lodgers. They
then go to the office and pay their mill fjr
their night’s-lodging.
A Story with a Moral.— A young
man payiug special attention to a young
lady, met with the following incident du
ring one of his visits :
Being invited into the parlor to await the
lady’s appearance, he himself
as best he might for some time, and was
becoming weary, when a little girl about
five years old slipped in and began to con
verse with him.
“I can always tell,” she said, “when you
aie coming to our house.”
“FouT’ he replied,‘‘and how do you
tell it r J
“Why, when you are going to bo hero
sister begins to sing and get good, and she
gives me cake and pie, and any thing I
want, and when 1 speak to her she smiles
so pleasantly. 1 wish you would stay here
all the while, then I would have a good
time. But when you go off, sister is not
good. She gets mad, and if L ask ler for
anything, she slaps and’bangs me about.”
'lbis was a poser for the young n:an,
“Fools and children toll the truth,” i-pio
ted he; and taking his hat, lie lift and re
turned no more.
Moral.—Parents wishing their ill matur
ed daughters married, should keep their
small children out ot the parlor when
strangers arc there.
Arab Oddities. —An Arab, entering a
bouse, removes his slices but not bis hat.
He mounts his horse upon tho right side
while bis wife milks their cows upon the
left side. With him, tho point of a pin is
its head, while its head is made its heel.
His head must be wrapped up warm, even
in summer while his feet may well enough
go naked all winter. Every a t ele of mer«
chandise which is liquid he weighs, but
measures wheat, bailey, and a few other
articles. He reads and writes from left to
right. He eats almost nothing at breakfast
about as much for dinner, but after tho
work of the day is done, sits down to a hot
meal swimming in oil, or better yet boiled
butter. His sons eat with him, but the fe
males of tho house wait till liis lordship is
done. He riles his donkey when travel
ling, his wife walks behind. Ho laughs at
the idea of walking in the street with his
wife, or ever vacating his seat for a wornau.
Is a Broken Neck Curable.— A
London letter in the Chicago Evening
JUUlUdllias iLc . °
The old saying tbat there is no euro for a
broken neck, has just been practically dis
approved by a surgecu at Greenock. He
was called in to see a young girl who had
just fallen a distance of eighteen feet, and
thoroughly dislocated her neck. When
he reached her the face was nearly revers
ed,and looking over the back, lie prompt
ly supported the back with the left knee,
took a grasp of the head, and began to pull
gradually and pretty strong, whereupon tho
girl’s eyes opened and there was an effort at
breathing. Increasing the pressure the part
suddenly came to their natural position,
and after a minnte or two regular breathing
was established. Close attention was after
ward paid to the ease, and after much fever
and occasional convulsions the child recov
ered and is now as well as evea.
Z-Sj '' There is an old tale, which, though
idle in itself, the use may bo good. A cer
tain man who would never go to church,
when he heard the saint’s bell, would say
to his wife: ‘Go thou to church and pray
for thee and me.’ One night he dreamed
thafyboth bo and his wife were dead, and
thdPfhey knocked together at Heaven’s
gate for entrance. St. Peter (by the leg
end) is the porter, and suffered his wife to
enter in. ‘She is gone in, both for herself
and theo. As thy wife went to church for
thee, so she must go to Heaven for thee.’
To The Point.—“ Say, boss, whar’s I
gwine to sleep ?” asked a stalwart freedmaa
of the overseer, be had been six weeks on
the plantation.
“Bleep ! why whore in the thunder have
you been sleeping since I hired you ?”
“Well, boss, I’sc been sleepiu’ on top uv
a sick nigger since I’se been here; but he’s
got well uow, and wont stand dat kind of
darn foolishness no longer.”
A whole cabin was immediately awarded
him.
BSgU “Pear me how fluidly he talks !”
said Mrs. Partington, recently, at a temper
ance meeting. “I am always rejoiced when
ho mounts the nostril, for eloquence warns
every catridge of my body.”
