A rrimltlve Ttcple.
Onose Crek I"!-.nrf, on the N'or'h
Carolina toat, is one of the most icac
cessit'.e. uncomi'-a'-dl .!; p!are to be
found. Its rr-i cousprlses s-vera!
thoosard -cr -i, an 1 ita soii is unusual
ly fertile ami admirably adapted for the
raising of cattle. The island is sur
rounded for tuauy Guilts inland by al
most impassable awarupa ; access by
water Is Lad through a narrow, tor'u
ous channel only navigable by the
smallest craft. For miles around the
water outside of tha piisajeway ia onlv
a few lnct.es in depth, and a man in
rubter bool3 couM wade dry shod all
day alorg this worthless stretch of
water, which is too shallow for fish ai d
too deep tor agriculture. Hence the
islanders lead a very retired aud isolat
ed life, practically as much Bhut off
from the world as if tL?y were ia the
midst of the AtUtdir. There are but
two hundred and CC'.y houses on ths
place, mostly cabins, though there are
several well-to-do planters, who, edu
cate! aDd rtll.itd, keep aloof socially
from the poor illiterate Inhabitants.
V.'omen of the latter class are buxom,
but with no form to speuk of. The
girls are shy and retired, tut still they
are daughters of Mo'htr Eve, Bed in
their wv stiive to keep up with the
lut- st, fbPhiorig. Their priuclpa dress
Is of calico, cue s'rtight, and rnanj of
them wear tu.stles, arid as newpipers
are scarce, tluy employ dried sea grass
bunchtd in a kuol.

No more than he 6w an au
burn hots. The word by does r.ot of
itso'f signify a eoler, and its use for the
purpose i3 purely traditional. It orig
inated la England In a district where
the bretd of horses was uo ly several
fha-lea sway irom the brown jet too
brown to be called red. There grew In
this district a gn at many lay trees, to
the leaves cf which the horses exhibit
ed hud a decided afHinity. The bay tree
bad long teen cherished amor. the ua
tlve3 for the rut.-d.cal ciualltirs of its
leaves and berries, and, la a way, was
sacred to them, havic hid a place i:i
many of their legends .ad superstition!?.
Every bretd.r of horses waa sure to
Lave a needier of the trees, and reli.d
upca th-ui almost exclusively for
the medicine- wherewith to cure his
horses. The leaves were used in otnen
tatlons acd the Lerrits in clysters. The
torses coming from this district, reared
arsons the bay trees, became known as
Lay horst s, and the uniformity of their
color led to the comnju use of the
term.

Herrmann's Poker Story.
"I never play cards in earnest." said
Herman after the show last night.
"Those who know rre wouldn't play
with me anyhow, and of course, 1 would
not take any advantage of those who
don't. But I remember one night, not
a thousand years ago, that in order to
amuse a few friends, I sat down to a
quiet little game of poker. You see, It
was this way : I met the friends, and
was introduced to an innocent-looking
youth of the dude persuasion, whose
face was as vacant in expression as a
pound of putty. This youth had been
bragging of his pjwers as a poker play
er, and had made the others so tired that
they whispered to me to take the con
ceit out of him for the fun there was In
it. I was ready, and we sat down."
"In Tniadephia ?"
"Bless you. no. They don't play
poker in Philadelphia. This was in
Well, when we began the game I allow
ed the youngster to win in order to get
him interested, and the better to enjoy
the circus, tha others dropped out and
my victim and I bad the table to our
selves. Ol course I was to give bim
back whatever I won from bim that
was understood. We didn't play with
chips, as we bad none, but made the
game a quarter ante and a dollar limit,
so that we could nse trie money witnoul
making any awkward change. Every
time coy callow friend won a pot be put
the silver and bills In his pocket and
would chip in the stuff as be needed it.
After be bad won a respectable pile I
began to get ay work in, and by hand
ling and dealing the cards in my own
peculiar way I soon had his pile in a
fair way to innocuous desuetude. Oc
casionally I would let bim win jast to
keep the fun up, and I don't know but
what I enjoyed my opponent's innocence
as much as I did my friends. But all
things must have an end. Finally I
cleaned bim out much to hia surprise,
and ordered a bottle. My friends could
not keep up any longer.
"I say, old man," said one, "do yoa
know who you have been playing with?"
"Yes." replied my victim calmly ;
"Herrmann, the magician, and he's a
good player."
This was somewhat of a surprise all
round. But I laughed snd banded him
back the monevl had won. lie wouldn't
take It. Xo sir. Said I had won it ;
nad he won mine he wouldThave kept It,
and nnder no consideration would he
take it back. That was not his way of
playing poker. It was no use for me to
protest, to tell him that I had deliber
ately robbed bim. He was sorry that
he bad got In with a man who didn't
play a square gm, but that it was his
lookout. He ought to have seen that he
was bing fleeced, but ae he had be-n
flced acd with bis eyes open, too, he
was not the man to squeal. I tell yen I
felt mean. I didn't think it half so
funny then as I did before. Bat all I
coo hi do or say made no impression on
my victim, and with a dignified bow he
left us."
"All I can do.' I said to ene of my
friends, 'will be to give this money to
some charitable institution.
"Then I gave the waiter one of the
bills I bad won to pay for the wine.
He came back with it. and the Inform a

lie ConlJnt Explain It.
A little boy was often whipped by
his father for lying. Ha usually took
it as a matter of course, bat on one
occasion the puciehment seemed to him
to excite reflection. After it was over
be stood before his father io a way,
which attracted his father's attention.
"My son," said the falhw, "what
are you thinking about ?"
"Father," siid bis son, "when you
was a little boy did you use to tell
lies."
'No my son ; when I was a little boy
I did not tell lies."
"Father, when mDther was a little
girl did she use to tell lies ?"
"No, my son," replied his father,
when your mother was a little girl ahe
did not tell lies. But why do you ask
me these questions ?"
"Well," said the little fellow, draw
ing a long s'gh. "It's the most master
iouj thing in the world to me that a
father who never told a lie when he
whs a ooy and a mother who never told
a Me when she was a little girl could
have a boy that tells so many lies as I
do."
The Ureat Snow Owl.
The winter or late autumn brings, at
times, a visitor from the far north, tne
great snowy owl, Nyctea niva. I
came upon bim the o'.her day crouched
in the long dead, grass, which whistled
in the cold wind, while the snow squalls
swept along the far horizan. lie turned
his great black eves on me for a moment
and tcok wing. No bird that I ever
a. w has such motive power, the first
fl p of his broad wlogs sends bim far
forward or upward. He bounds up and
scoops down, turning in any direction
with ail the ease and lightness of the
swallow. A few second and his great
bulk is a speck at the horizon, a mo
ment more and he has vanished, while
you still stand gazing in wonder at hia
grace and speed and power. He cer
tainly baa small reason to forego his
southern trip ; when the arctic winter
comes on breadths of latitude can be
nothing to him. A few day, or a fort
night mi most, will allow him to pass
over the stretch that separates Lis arctic
home from us. and still give him time
to stop for rest and feeding by the way.
His natural vigor and power of wing la
si great that the severe ccld of the eub
polar regions, and the passage of the
great distance that separatee it from uj.
are both sustained with eaae, evidently,
by this magnificent bird.

Tbomas Jefferson.
Jt Hereon was very tail, six feet two
ard a half inches in height, enDtly com
plexioned, eby in maDDer, seemiDgly
cold. aT. kward in attitude, and witb
little ia bis bearing that suggested com.
mand. One cr the greatest of
modern writers first made himself fa
mous by declaring that society was
founded on cloth ; aDd Jefferson, at
moments of some Interest in bis career
as President seemed to regard bis pe
culiar style of drees as a matter of po
litical importance, while the Federal
newspapers never ceased ridiculing the
corduroy small-clotbes.red plush waist
coat and sharp toed boots with which
ha expressed bis contempt for fashion.
For eight years this tall, loosely-
built somewhat stuff figure, in red
waistcoat and yarn sto-jking, slipiacg
dawn at the heel, and clothes that
seemed too small for bim, nvy be imig.
ined sitting on one bip, with one shoul
der high above the other, talking al
most without ceasing to bis visitors at
the White House. His skin as thin
and delicate, peelirg from bis face cu
exposure to the sun, giving it a lettered
appearance. This sandy face, with
hazel eyes as.d Bunny aspect; this loose,
8hack!ing person ; this rambling, bril
liant conversationalist, belonged to the
controlling influences of American his
tory, more necessaiy to the 6tor? than
three-fourths of the official papers,
which only bid the truth. Jffferson's
personality during these eight yars ap
peared to Tje the Gavernmont, and im
pressed itself like that of IJinepurte, al
though by a different process, on the
mind of the Nation. Io the tillage
simplicity of Washington society be whs
more than king, for he was alone
n social as well as political pre-eminence.
Except th British Legation,
no houfe in Washington was open to
general bociety ; th whole mass of pol
iticians, even the Federalists, ware de
pendent on Jefferbcn and ''the llac6"
for amusement, lie showed
bis powers at their best in bis own bouse
where amoDg friends as ireneral and
cheerful as himself his ideas could flow
freely and could be discussed with sym
pathy. Such were the men with whom
be surrounded himself by choice, and
none but eucb were invited to enter bis
Cabinet.

Masy, indeed, and various are the
anecdotes told in connection with oath
making. A very pious kind painfully
guileless old lady was once called as a
witness before Mr. Tsnnyeon iVEyn
court, the Bjw street magistrate.
"Is it a fact, your Honor," aaked the
lady "that I ma3t take an oath ?"
"Certainly, ruudime," replied ilr.
D'Eyncourt.
"But I don't like to do so 1' exclaim
ea the lady.
lYon must do so or go to prison."
said Mr. D'EyrjCourt. "Every witness
has got to swear."
The lady was bard to ba per?uadd.
For a long time she held out against
what she termed a cruel ii-justic, but
Emily consented to comply with th
magistrate's orders. She then took the
the book, end to the surprise and
amusement of the whole court rippwl
out a tremendous cth, af'er which she

1 Tiger Iu a lloge MiaLVa Culls.
A Ehort time ego, cot far from Tjq
jjng Flick, India, a tiger was thut un
der peculiar circumstances. The sports
men out in the jungle there heard a fear
ful rumpus goiDg on a good way off.
On reaching the scene cf the uproar,
Thty suddt-nly found themselves face
to ftce with a tiger in tha coils of a
big Euake, which witb its mouth, was
ecdeavoring to get Loid of the tiger
Utck. The tiger on the other hand was
doins I s best to reach tba Deck of the
suike. After beiDg momentarily ter
ror -stricken by the fight, the two
6portsinen did not allow either animal
time to perceive or attack thtm, but
forthwith to.k aim- the one at tht bead
of the tiger, the other at that of the
soake. The tiger was hit behind the
ear, and tha snake io the middle of Ibe
head. The distance at which the shots
were fired was hardly fifteen paees.
The bead of the former proyed to be
that of a royal tiger.
A CUT iu the Sea.
A city at the bottom of the sea was
seen toward the end of November, near
Trepton, on the shores of the Baltic.
For a week or ten days a powerful wind
had been blowing from the south acd
on the day the wonderful sight was
witnessed. It amounted to little less
than a hurricane. The waters were
pushed away from the shore iu great
mountains, uncovering a portion of
ground usually bidden from sight by
the waters. It wt.s at this time that
the ruins of the city cf Kegumuende,
once a flourishing commercial center,
but swallowed up by the Baltio bet
tween five and six centuries ago, was
revealed to the startled watchers in the
ligh' bouse near the shore. The un
usual spectacle was enjoyed only for a
abort time, when the storm abated and
the waves returned, hnd again bid from
view what bad once been the abode of
tusy men and women.
Origin ef the Turkey.
All that seem) to be known about the
crigin of the tuikey Is that It is a na
tive of America, (most probably Mexi
co), acd was introduced into England
ia the times of Henry the ghtb, by
William S rickland, lieutenant to Se
bastian Cabot. BeDjjmin Franklin,
once upoQ a time, is said to have re
marked that the wild tuikey, instead
of the eagle, thould have been made
tt.e emblem of the United S'.ates, as the
log cabin of the pioneer in his day wns
surrounded by these birds. The first
turkey seen in France was served up at
the weddiLg feast of Charles IX.1564.

Treasure in a Flower Tot.
In 1ST2 a German artisan. a shoe,
m-ker died in Charleston, 6 c n,
hd a brother to whom on Lis death
bed he bequeathed an old box aW
he size of the vessel in which ladie.
P'pnt geraniums in Ueu 0f the clay no-i
of Dutch manufacture. The brotw
who became heir to the pjt knew not
what to do with the curious w
but he kept it in a trunk until a hm
years ago, when he married. It waj
subsequently taken from the trunk and
given to his little girl as a p'y!hiD?
The little girl scattered the contents of
the boxpeg9 awls, etc.-io the four
winds. About a year ago her father
died, and a loving wife utilized the box
as one In which she planted some- gtt
aniums and placed it on tbe grave of its
d-ad husband. When the plants pre-;
the box was taken back to the city ar.fl
did service again as a plaything. On
day the bottoui fell out of the box, acd
it waa then found ibat the heirloom Lad
two bottoms. A roll of bank bhlu fell
out of the false bottom, end wrr. the
roll someTieces of silver Uree half
dollars. The fact was report-d to the
little girl's mother, and on count irg the
amount she found that it was ;135. It
has been ascertained that the man who
left the stxall but interesting legacy
died before he could explain the retl
reeson for the gift of the box. Tbe
circumstances as above were rela'ed to
a reporter by Mrs. Eera. and to
whom the facts were given by the tedy
who Is in possession o( the money. A
very interesting part of the story is :f.at
the litdy nsd a purt of the m-niey at
once to erect a memoiial to the testator
at S Bethany cemetery.
Ilorseshoes ol Mraw.
The average horse il J pnn has shoes
of straw, instead of iron.ud until re
cently distances were measured ly the
number of straw shoes that n laan oi a
horse would wear out in poing from
one place to another. These straw
sCoes are about half an inch thick.
They are made of rice straw braided io
as to forma sole for the borse'a fool,
and they are lied on by straw string
just below the fetlocks-
Every cart has a stock of fresh new
Bhoes tied to the horse's barney, atd
th driver keeps his eyes on the feet of
his teast and changes his shoes a9 soon
aa they become worn. These shots
cost less than a cent a set, and as ta
the straw sandals which the tutv wear,
ycu can tuy eight of them for oni
cent. All along tbe country roads of
Jspua you will see tbe straw shots of
men and horses, and it is eaid Ihil the
average horseshoe will last for about
an eight miles' walk.
