Hi-other and Sister on a Tramp. Tte police last eight arretted under jecaliar circumstances a conp'e who claim to be brother and sister. They give their names aa William and Jessie Green and their agei aa 29 and 20 years respectively. Both are coarse looking. with tnwy days' dust on thair faces and hand. Their arrest was made la this way. About 8 o'clock they went Into Os terholt's saloon, on South Vouiteenth street, the woman wearing male attire and hoiding her bead down as though to hide her face. Her pants were tag gy and bung loosely, and the coat and est seemed several size." to large. Her hair was cue short and was covered with a greasy cap. Her companion Slid that tbey bad tramped a longdis tance and that they were both tired and hungry. Anton liagel, a butcher, do ing business a: 1104 Clark avenue, was in the saloon and bearing the touching itory, requested the pair to accompany hita to the house, adding that he would give them supper. TLey went with him. and after giving them plenty to eat Uagel proceeded to bundle up a lot of bread and meat, so that they could carry enough to last them another day Ha bacnened to look at the woman while bundling supplies, and after study ins her features for a frw seconds he asked if she was not a woman. She de nled her sex at first, but admitted later that her attire was not becoming to ber aex. She was then turned over to Mrs. Itasel whilo he ent out to look for a rollceman. beinz satioGed that there was something wrong. Sergeant Worcester visited the house and arrived there just as she completed the transformation, throwing off ber coat, vest and trousers, and donning a ilress and other garments given her by Mrs. IUpI. The pair were then taken to the Four Courts and locked up to await the result of a further investiga tlou. They said they were brother and sister, atid that they had not done any thing wrong. The women said she wore masculine attire because it was more convenient than petticoats and other cumbersome garments. The man who claims to be her brother then made a long statement to Sergeant Ling, lie eaid that be left Omaha last Au gust for the purpose of coming to this city. "My sister had been working at the Emmet House," he said, "and I had been working at my trade. When we concluded to come here we bad but lit tle money, and we. concluded to buy a toat and come ty river. We left in August and s toped at every town and Tillage along the Missouri until we reached Glasgow, Mo., last December. The ice was then running and we con cluded to step until it went our. White we were there the river froze over and we hid to wait a long time. I worked then on a bridge and supported my sis ter, but I could rot save anything. We left when we had a chance to navi gate, and we got along nicely until we reached Augusta, when our boa! cap sized, throwing everything into the rivtr. I had to rescue my sister, ana while doing it tore ofT most of ber do' hes. As she had nothing else, 1 gave her an old suit 1 bad saved. We tramped here from Agusta, which is about thirty-Qve miles from the city." He to!d of many incidents connected with their trip, but be insisted that bis sister had no wrong motive in wealing clothes unbecoming to ber sex. The woman was reluctant to make any sta'ement, but in reply to questions corroborated ber companions state ment, excepting that portion concern ing her attire. She said ehe began wearing men's clothes soon after she left Omaha, because ber own attire was a nuisance to ber and her brother. Iioth bad diaries giving a history of their trip, with the incidents of each day since they left. The police thought that it must be a runaway match and coccloded to hold them. The pair had no objections as they were both very tired and travelstained, the woman complaining of sore feet and ber com panion of a cold. Chiovjo Times. Almost as Old as Finger. Forks are distinctly mentioned In I. tf.rauel XII., 21, in connection with the file which was used to sharpen the pron. In tbe Pentateuch mention is made of "llesb hoooks," evidently ooed for taking the meat out of the pots or off the pans. Ateneus mentions the "fork" but it does not appear whether it meant a bident or a trident, and it is certain that the ancient Greeks were ignorant of the use of the fork while eating. Two branched instruments were found at Ilercdlaneum, but they were not known to be used in any peri od of Roman history. The Duke of Bergundy used fcrks at table, and is eaid to have bad two. In bis time tbe loaves were muda round, and were placed by the side cf the carver, who bad a pointed raiving knife and skew er of silver or gold, which he stuck in to the joint of meat, and baviog cnt off a piece, placed it on a slice of bread, which was served to tha guest ol. the point of the carving knife. This cus tom still obtains in many parts of Europe. llefore the revolution in France, whan a geutlemsn was invited to dinner. It was customary for him to send hid servant with his knife, fork, and spoon, or if he had no servant, he carried them in his breeches pocket as a carpenter carries Lis rule. The use of folks was not Introduced Into Eng land until the time of James I., having teen brought from Italy. Thir use was ridiculed by many as a auperaer viceabte piece of Cnery. Den Johnson joined in the laugh against them in Lis play of -The Devil's Ass." It is not difficult even now to remember when the knife orly, notwithstanding the r resenco of 'the fo:k, was used to con vey food to the moult), showing howl diillcult it was to get rid of the old cus torn?.

Daring tbe war, nays a Washington letter, while the bloodiest battles oa tbe Potomac were being fought, the south ern and northern troops fraternized on this spot, and not a shot was fired nor a blow exchanged oa the domain of Mount Vernon - It was neutral ground. The soldiers exchanged coffee and to bacco and lolled amicably together co der the trees, then went back to shoot ing and killing each other as they were off tbe sacred ground. The most irrev erent scoffer must walk with reverence through the ancient frame house in which so much of onr history is em balmed. Hanging In the ball is the great key of the Bastile, sent to Wash ington by Lafayette, near it is the Gen eral's field-glass bang on its rack by Washington himself and never disturb ed Of all tbe memories of Mount Ver non none are more interesting than those of Eleanor CusMs poor XeIly,wbo diel at 22, and was ber stepfather's pet. In one room stands ber baap&icbord, an immense machine, just the size of a grand piano of the present day, with two banks of keys like an organ. Be side it are some ancient blue chairs embroidered by ber dead fingers a cen tury ago. In tbe ground stands ber rosebush beside which tradition says she received ber first offer, and which tbe gulleieds an J credulous of ber sex are persuaded to walk around six times to bring a similar events about. One of tbe Regents of Maunt Vernon was to have maguilcent Turkish rugs made to resemble as far as possible the rag car pets which were the flwr coverings in Martha Washington's day, and for that purpose scraps of the rag carpet were sent abroad to be as nearly simu lated as possible. And way np high. under th roof is a little bip-roofed dormer-windowed rookery, which after Gen. Washington's death, bis widow chose as ber own room, because it was from that window only that a view could be bad of tbe hideous brick tomb sn which lies the mortal part of the General. A Man Adopted bj Babbits. There is tn old mtu oat in Monnd Valley, Ner., a local paper says, who bae been adopted by a lot of jack rab bits. Their friendliness and good feel- itiir bave become so obtrusive that tbe old fellow would be thankful if some tbioz would happen to alionate their affections, lie is a sort of hermit, lir. log all aloue on his ranch. wbei$ he de roles all his time to cattle and torse raising. As he doeaen't try to raise vegetables the rabbits could do bim do harm, and so he has never tried to drive them away. Tbey soon became very tame, and, as tbe jack rabbit is rather an affectionate animal anyway, they kept tanking more advances and trials of friendship antil tbey and the old man became quite sociable. Wnen be goes out after hia cows two or three dozen rabbits will come trojpiDg along after him, leaping around him, running be tween bis legs, and nibbling bis fingers, Very often a drove o there will gather arond h!s cabin and cut up all sorts of pranks In front of bis door, leap on his bed. jump into his cbair if he is not occupying the only one himself and nose around among hit kettles and dishes for something to eat. Several o tbe most ioteiligect be has singled out for special favors. He has taught them a cumber or tricks, such as jumping over a bar or through a ring, walking on their hiud legs, and jumping over one another like leap frog. But tbe rabbits bave developed such a liking for civilization that they are about to take possession of bis house, and bave even begun to rear tbeir broods in it, so that the old man hardly knows now whether he owns tbe house or simply lives there with tbe rabbits The Influence tt Symbols. Ad American, writing home reowtly from EogUnd, says : 'I happened to be present at the faneral of a soldier, wbo, for bravery in the Zulu war, had received the V ictoria cross. Tbe badge was fastened to bis breast as be lay in the cofCo. His mother, bidding him farewell, touched the precious bronae token and said : It lessens my grief at losing bim that be should take that into bis grave 1' "It was the symbol to her not only of his heroic life, bnt of tbe gratitude of his country. I wondered, as I beard ber, if we Americans make as much use as w might of the Influence of symbols hi training our nneducated classes.' A singular instance of tbe effect of this kind of symbolism was once shown in tbe famous reformatory school at Lusk. One of tbe teachers bad induced about twenty of tbe boys to give up profane and indecent lanfiuage, and to do extra work, for which tbey were paid. But tbey wer indifferent and half-hearted in the effort. Form them into a society and give tbem a badge," suggested tbe superin tended. Tbe bint was carried out. In a month tbe boys were eager and enthu siastic in tbeir work, and as proud of their prison society as were the old soldiers of Napoleon of tbe Legion of Honor. The mao who is successful in leading hucaan nature to its highest endeavor miast work upon the innocent weak nesses as well as upon tbe stern love of dty. Imaginative men and women like to symbolize tbeir work or Sacrifice for tba world ia some uniform or badge. AtHlott'o CoBBwraptioai Cstre.

The Loneliest Spot In Europe. One hundred and forty mi!es from the northwest coast of Scotlacd. and forty miles from the nearest land, the extreme point of the Hebrides Island, lies a li:tle archipelago or group of islands, called the Hirt or Hirst, and more commonly known by tbe name of one of the Islands. St. Kilda. St. Kilda is almost a lost island, so far is It out on the broad Atlantic, so com pletely deserted by tbe rest of tbe world, and so wildly beaten upon by the storms. But In spite of its remoteness, and tbe fact that the island has but a very small extent of cultivable soil, St. Kilda is inhabited by 19 families, numbering in 1881, seventy-seven souls. Tbe strange and lonely life that these people live here is a matter of pity even for the poor and almost deserted Inhabitants of the Hebrides, who have a large and populous region compared with St. Kilda. But not only is the population of St. Kilda as large as it was in tbe middle of the last century, in spite of tbe anhealthines3 of tbe people's way of life and a very high death rate, but the island has sent a few emigrants to Australia. Tbe children all are subject to attacks of fits, brought on, the doctors believe, by tbe peculiar food given tbem. From the day of tbeir birth they are made to swallow a decoction of oil taken from the petrel, mixed with port wine. Out of every nine children borrrt five die in latancy. St. Kilda Is formed almost wholly of steep cliffs, rising to a height of 1220 feet, and access to it is only possible through a cleft in the rocks. Vessels approach it only during tbe three months of summer. Only during these three months are any mails received on tee island, and formerly the case was still worse, for tbe royal subjects of tbe Queen at St. Kilda did not hear of King William IV.'s death, acd Victoria's accession to the throne, until three years after tbe event. Some time ago a dreadful tempest raged at St. Kilda, aud the inhabitants having lost much of their property and being in distress, and baviog several months to wait before the mail boat would reach them, wrote the story of their sufferings, put it in a bottle as tbe survivors of a wreck at sea sometimes do, and threw it into the water. The bottle was picked up, delivered into tbe hands of the directors of the Free Kirk of Scotland, Edinbuigb, to whom it was addressed, and a small steamer was rent to St. Kilda with supplies. The life of the St. Kilda people is so primitive that only lately bave tea, su gar and tobacco been sold among them When the merchant who went there from Scotland to establish this trado arrived at tbe island, be found that the St. Kildaites were three hours Debind tbe rest of the kingdom in time, as tbf pastor's watch, the only timepiece on tbe island, bad lost that amount of time during tbe nine months that interveued since a vessel bad been there. The less than fourscore psop'e who live at Sr. Kilda are so influenced by tbe lonely life they lead, tbat tbe ar rival of a vessel with sailors and passen gers suffices to produce a sort of violent cold in the head, which tbe natives call the "boat cougb,'' or "eight days sick ness, which is dangerous and some times fatal. It spite of tbeir bard struggle for existence, the people of this loneliest place in all Europe think that there is i n isle like St. Xilda, and would not exchange it for an earthy paradise. A Deformed Frlnce. The King of Germany's eldest son and heir to the throne is Prince Wil helm, of whom tbe Countess von Krock ow writes : "Tbe Germans cannot forgive an heir apparent of the throne having keen born mediocre in Ggure and perfectly formed. Prince Wilbelm has a crippled arm. The fingers are mere knobs.- In tbe hussar uniform there is a pocket, and he wears it be cause the three fingeis of tbe helpless member can be hnng in tbe pocket. Otherwise it bangs awkwardly and helplessly in its sleeve, nis horses are especially trained, and before the Prince is to mount are ridden three-quarters of an hour to wear, tbem down. He can just manage to bold the reins. We were together in a country bouse. I looked with tbe hostess at the fork with which be eats. It is of silver, and not conspicuously different from others, but fixed to tbe under tize there is a small eharp blade. What tbe Prince cannot cut witb tbe one band and this olade be dots not undertake to eat. The right band and arm are large and of extraordinary dexterity, but the little finger is deformed by a growth which the Trince only imperfectly conceals by wearicg rings neatly up to the third phalange. Cream as Medicine. .V medical authority declares, and says it cannot be too widely known, tbat cream separated by machinery from pore new milk before It has cooled ts a toll substitute for cod liver oil, and tbat if, during the cold weather, those who have delicate constitutions which need concentrated cutrition but wbo cannot overcome the nausea asso ciated with cod liver oil, will take this description of cream instead, they will find la most cases immense and lasting benefit. Iu several bospitabies it bas already superseded the nauseous oil. This will be good news for a great manv delicate people in both city and country, to whom the "extract of cod" is very distasteful. I have long been convinced that but ter or cream will answer every purpese of tbe abominable and nauseous cod liver oil.

The following beautiful tradition about Moses has been hau led down to posterity : lie had the flocks of Lis father-in-law. One day. while be contemfla'.ing his fljck in the derrt. he saw a lamb leave tbe herd, and rur further and further away. Tbe tendrr sheperd not only followed it with Lii eyes, but went after it. Tbe b.n quickened its steps, bopped over Lilis. eprang over ditches, hastened through V3'.Iey and plain ; the sheperd unweari edly followed its track. At las; the lamb stopped by a eprine, at which i. eagerly qusnched Its burning thir- Moses hastend to the spot, looked sd ly at the drinking lamb acd said : "U was thirst then, my poor beast, which tormented thee, and drove thee from me, and I didn't understand : now ihou art faint and weary from the Km. fcard way, and thy powers are exhausted; bow then couldst thou return alone to th comrades?" After the Uir-bbad quenched its th":rst and seemed undecid ed what road to take. Moses lifted it to his shoulder, acd, bending under the heavy burden, strode back to the flvk. Then he heard tbe voice of God calling to bim, sayirg : "Thou hast a tender heart for mv creatures ; thou art a kind, gentle shepherd to the flocks of man ; thou art now called to feed the flxk of God." One Glass of Hine. A glass of wine, for instance, c'larctfl the history of France for nearly twenty years. Louis Philippe, King of tne French, bad a son, the Duke of Means, and heir to tbe throne, who a!wsys drank only a cettain number of glnssei of wine, because evun one more him tipsy. Oa a memorable muriiing he forgot to count tbe number of es and took one more than usual. When entering bis carriage he sluo lied, frightening the horses and caus ing them to ran. In attemptic toltP from the carriage bis head srruck the pavement and he soon died. That glass of wine overthrew the Orleans rule, confiscated their property of i.'"-J.-01)0.000, and sent tbe whole fami'y tot? exile. Com Meal For faille. In his experiments if needing cattle, at tbe Kansas college farm, Trof. D' ton says : "A consideraole general ex perience in the use of corn ar.d cb meal as feed for herd of 00 odd head of neat cattle has greatly strenghei not only the writer, but those havine the practical management of the herd, in the conviction of the superior v-lue of corn and cob meal. The corn '.nd cob meal was. apparently at least, tetter digested than was clear corn alone when used ; eaten certainly with as gieai re lish ; the cattel were "off their feed' less often ; while cases of diarrb- caused by over-feeding all tooci'mmon when corn meal was used were practi cally unknown when the grain feea the ground ear corn."
