HUMOR.
Some Illustrations of Chinese
Wit and Fun.
i
I Stories With a Familiar Ring-, and Others
With an Oriental Flavor.
The China review publisher a collec
tion of ('hittese humorous anecdotes, se
( Jected from the “Hsiao Lin Kuang,”- or
1 “Book of Laughter, ” some of winchare
interesting because they are identical
with stories familiar to western civiliza
tion, while others have a peculiarly Celes
; tial accent;
Two persons standing over a stove on a
cold day, warming themselves, were over
heard indulging in the following dialogue:
No. 1, apathetic, and given to verbiage,
: addressed No. 2, reputedly hot-temjrered
1 and decisive, whose clothes he noticed
i J smoldering, as follows: “My dear friend,
i there is something I would like to speak
j to you about; I have seen it for some
■ time, and all along have wanted to tell
you, but as people say your temper is
fiery, I hesitated; on the other hand, if 1
! do not speak you may be the loser, so I
I have come to the conclusion at last to ask
your pennimon to do so.” “Out with
it,” said the other. “Well, your clothes
are burning,” mildly continued No. 1.
“W|>y the deuce,” cried No. 2 in a pas
sion, as he olyserved considerable damage
■ already done, “could you not speak at
j once?” “Its true then what people say;
j what temper he has got,’’ muttered No. 1,
’ as he luziiy moved off.
J The following is told of an incorrigibly
( idle offspring of a literary father: A
i youngster, having a great disinclination
i to study, was shut up in a closet, with
, strict injunctions to apply himself. Steal
j ing near, the parent, to his delight, heard
i the boy droning over his book, and was
. presently still mow* pleased by hearing
the supposed student, exclaim: “I un-
it.” The excited father rushed
E|Mfe|i'.ying out, “1 mn proud, my sou, that
,-tt Im masterr.i
. Hl te HwMggfc W .fay (
'oiue
ias I have bid niyTioe.’ 1 At diencr frfs
wife remonstrated with him for shouting
so loudly alxait hiding his hoe. “] am
certain,'' said she, “the neighbors have
i heard you, and someone has already stol
en it ' Struck with the remark, the man
returned to the field, and sure enough the
hoe was gone. . Oil returning to his house,
and impressed with the wisdom of her
previous caution, he w hisj>ered into his
wife's ear, “The hoe is stolen.”
The following impnunptu, though con
sequent on a fall, rail not lie looked on as
the outcome of deficient understanding.
A man stumbled and fell. Trying to
rise, hi: again fell. “Hangit," he cried,
“:f 1 had known 1 was to fall again, I
would not have tried to get up."
A woman was limning the corpse of her
husband, and being naked by the neigh
bors why she tanned a dead man in the
middle of winter, she replied: “My bus
hand's last words were. ‘Wife wait til! I
am cold before you marry again.’ ”
The feminine pro|)rn*ity for eoncculing
age, and resenting impertinent questions
in regard to it, is common to all tim< s
ami nationality's; but this does not de
tract from our admiration of the trick by
which the trnth was got at m the follow
ing instance: A man newly married,
■ thought when his wife unveiled for the
first time, that she looktai rather old and
wrinkled. Telling her so, he askial her
ml age, when she replital, “4.» or 4t3.”
“You wrote iu the marriage contract 38
years.” said he, “but you look even more
than 45 or 40.” At last she admitted 54.
The husband was still doubtful; so he be
th<aight himself of a strataffem for get >
ting at the truth. Jumping up he said.
“I must taw-cv up the salt before going to
Imhl, or else the rats will cat it all bdhre
morning." “Well,” sai<| his wife, laugh
ing, “I bate heard of anti seen many
strange things in the sixty-etght year* of
u>v life; but I never saw or heard of rats
rating salt bebwe.'*
A noted liar wee told a friend that he •

she replied. “When will he be back?”
“In eight or nine days.” “Why, how
can he be so quick?” He has gone off on
our fast bullock, and oan do it easily.”
‘‘l hear you have also a wonderful fowl, ”
said the visitor, and, behold, as he was
speaking, a small cock crew. “That’s
it,” said the wife. “he. crows at the be
ginning of each watch, and also when a
visitor arrives." “I would also like to
see your learned dog,” he said. “Ah,”
said she, “I am sorry; but you see we are
very poor; so he keeps a school in the
city:”
A doctor opened a drug store, but foi
a long time had no customers; at last
one customer came. When supplying his
wants, the vender observed that the drug
was full of weevils. “What is this!’
said the buyer. “Kiang tsan” (medici
nal larvaq, replied the doctor. “But,”
said the man, “Kiang tsan are always
dead. ”“Yes,” said the doctor, '‘but you
see they could not remain dead after eat
ing my medicine.”
A barber shaving a customer’s head
drew blood, and put one of his lingers on
it. Again he made a cut, and put down
another finger and so on till he had no
more fingers free. “Ah,” said he, as he
paused in his w irk, “a barber’s is a diffi
cult trade, we ought to have a thousand
lingers.”
In the Argentine Repnblic.
“I have travelled in nearly all countries
on the globe,” said F. W. Wheeler,
“both on business and for pleasure, and,
being of an observing mind, I naturally
saw aliout all there was to see. The
county I most prefer is the Argentine Re
public, in South America. The climate
is magnificent, and the soil is all that
could be wished. In agriculture, how
ever, the Republic is somewhat behind
the age. Stock-raising is one of the
principal industries, and millions of herd J
.of cattle, horses and mules range over thS
almost limitless plains. These vast es
tates are mostly ow ned by Spaniards,
whose ancestors settled in that country
years ago, and the property has been add

in this way the estates,
diminishing, have largely in
creased, until they are of
sions. There is a great lack of enterprise
among the people, however, and the rich
old Spaniards, having heard of American
push, are ready to offer almost any in
ducement for young Americans to settle
in their country. I was informed by per
sons whom I supposed were awan: of the
facts that so anxious were the wealthy
daddies to get, a little of that energy for
which this nation is noted that they
would willingly give any bright, active
American one of their daughters and a
good round sum of money as a recom

COUNTING HORNS.
Picturesque Scenes on a Mon
tana Cattle Range.
How the Animals are Counted, Identified,
i ar d Separated.
! In a letter from Fort Keogh, Montana,
to the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette a
' correspondent writes entertainingly about
: the cattle business and life on the ranges,
i He says : In receiving, say, one thousand
1 head of “pilgrim” cattle from the States
1 (of value, not less than $25,000), brand
! ing them at the stock yards with an X on
| the left hip, for instance, and turning
I them loose upon the range the owner
i cither understands the business or has an
■ unswerving trust in Providence. A por
! tion ol his hyrd may be seen occasionally
• diuiug the season by himself or his eow
i boys, but other |X«’tions may drift away
fifty or a hundnxl miles, sometimes more,
. before the next “round-up. ” Even then
i it may he impossible to find them all.”
; The ranges are divided into “districts.”
and each district is worked by a sepcrate
! CUnipaAy of cow-boys, numbering any
. where from twenty to sixty (more occa
j sionally), according to the importance of
the district. AH who have range cattle
within the limits of that district are rep
resented, cither personally or otherwise,
in the round-up party. Every member
of whjtjhv'exercises his ability for the
: advantage his neighbor as well as for
himself. Th© district may be two hundred
iniM Wng and seventy-five miles wide,
and the row-boys move from six to ten

pMy moves on.
The above has special reference to the
spring round-up, which takes from sixty
to ninety days. In addition to the fall
•lround-up,” the beeves are “cut out"—
sparated from the other stock-—and
driven by members of their irsjicctivc
cstfits to the points of shipment It is at
ffic.se shipping points that the v:d ie of
tie Htock inspector is seen. He examines
tie brands of every animal skipped from
hs point, and if sonic of rbo.se “N” cattle
arc being shipped with the beeves of some
(iher party he notes the fact, reports to
the Secretary of the Stock Commission—
jlw- whole lot goes to market, and in due
eourae the owner of the “X” cuttle re
ceives the prvH-eisls of his “strays” on iiq»
basis of the price at which the main body
Os the shipment is sold. The number of
animals thus found is large. “Strays”
that belong in Montana have frequently
been shipped from pointe <m the Union
Pacific in Wyoming, and vice wraa, op
the Northern Pacific. It is not conoid
cred surprising for cattle tp drift 100 to
150 miles from their customary range.
Thus are range cattle looked after, and
though it mny take years for the “X”
outfit, or any other, to secure all their
stock, they are more than likely to do so
eventually, escepting where the “erit
tera" arc stolen, killed by wild animals
or die on th” range. The inspertors are
thoroughly familiar with the. brands of
tlie North-west, watch close ly for stolen
stork, do much toward bringing offeud
ete to justice, and are stationtsl at the
principal stwik-hamlling points. TTie
detectives are equally in.'ruiuaital in
furthering the <ucc»m of this great sys
tem. About five thousand diffcmit brands
have already Ixcn recorded in the offlc
of the Territorial Treasurer r.t Helena.
Even the Indians han thur brandy and,
with the multiplicity of devices that are
used, midtr the acts of 18<U. ta dktin

Montana of dangerous wil<l animals taun

THE FAMILY PHTMICIAN.
JEetes anti Snaiceatlons-
Very excessive effort in a short space of
time, as in rrnming or jumping a rope,
etc., has reyieatodty causes! instant death
by apoplexy of the Jungs, the exercise
sending the blood there faster than it can
be fonvmrieil to the heart, and fasten
than it can be purified by the more in
frequent breathing on sut-h occasions.
Water cannot satisfy the thirst which
al tends cholera, dysentery, diarrhoea and
some other forms of d : sease; in fact,
drinking cold water seems to increase the.
thirst and induce other disagreeable
sensations; but this thirst will be perfect
ly and pleasantly subdued by eating a
comparatively small amount of ice, swal
lowing it in as large pieces as practicable,
and as much as is wanted.
A professional athlete gives in the Nrav
York Suh some good practical advice
upon the manner of going up stairs,
which may be of value to tired, over
heated women in the country, as well as
to the faster-living inhabitants of cities.
He says, “tlierc is a knack in doing it
easily. The body should lie held erect,
keeping the centre of gravity directly
above the muscles of the legs and loins.
Bending the hips and throwing the body
forward, as many persons do, is like
carrying a load at arm’s length, instead
of on the shoulders, or on the head aS do
many Europeans. Let those individuals
then, whose duties require much climb
ing up stairs, remember not to lean for
ward, not to spring from stair to stair,
but to step firmly, leisurely,’ and keep
erect.”
The Law of Larceny.
In the law’ of larceny there has been
curious cases for the edification of stu
dents and the escape of lucky thieves, says
the London A plain man
would think that “taking and carrying
away” are words easily interpreted; but
what is “taking and canying away?”
The are various.' For in
lo ■’ string.om: < »<l
"■ ’’ lh< bottom <>i a

and carried aivay” the < Another
man, However, removed a pared from
one c of a wagon to the odher, and it ,
was found that he hud “taldpn and car
ried away” the goods. A thief, who ■
snatehi'd a diamond from a lady’s car t
and dropped it in her hair, was found
guilty of •‘technically taking and carry- !
ing away.” There are other curiosities '
of the law as to things which cannot bo '
stolen. Thus, it is not larceny to take [
earth to 'make an embankment, nor to !
take water unless it be stored in pipes.
Then, it would lie larceny to steal a wild
animal kept for food or profit, but not if
•t. kept lor curiosity or amusement, ‘
a- n a priv ate menagerie. It has been 1
decided, for instance, that ferret*, even ‘
when tame and salable, cannot be sub- •
i> t- of larony. Mr. Justice Stephen, in >
his ‘“Digest," says:, “Living wild ani
nialy, in ih« en joyment of their natural I
liberty, whether they have escaped from
t ltd r confinement or not, are not capable
of being stolen," and this would apply,
we suppose, to j*et monkeys and parrots
who have got loose. It even applies,
oddly eno'.ight to "gain;.-.” Although it. ;
may be an offence to pursue and kill i
them, it is not larceny to steal them '<
when living; but it is if they are dead,
forth; ij they become the property of the
owner of soil on which they die. These
seem very tine distinctions.
Claimants for Pensions.
General Franz. Sigel, the United SfStes J
Pension Agent. was sitting at his desk
the other day. writ's the New York
gosriper ot the Buffalo A’rpros*, when
two German- began an int< rvmw. one at
eiu*h cibow. They sjx>ke vehemently in *
their native language. and Sige' listened
with a face whoso gravity was wewm*
ally twitch'd a little M the corners of bis *
mouth by internal ’slighter. Then all
three talked at once, and it was clear
that the General was opposing the violent
arguments of his visitors. At length they i
retired, still talking, and evidently uu-
I'onviiMed.
‘What was the errand of my friend*,
do you suppose."’ said Sigel; “they
wanted government pensions. Hear
ing that I had Iwen made .a jieusion agent
they came, as compatriots, to see me
