THE ELK PLAYED POSSUM.
A Burp rise Awaited the Hunter Who
Started In to Mkln the Iteast.
"An elk beats the dickens for mis
chief," said an old hunter to a writer
for the New York Sun. "One time I
was hunting on the Yellowstone river
with L'ncle Pete McDougall and a
squaw man named Jackson, and every
kind of pame that you ever saw was
found there. We shot no end of buf
falo, deer and antelope, and thought,
the list complete when we struck a
band of elk in the open valley. The
squaw man said that the only way to
kill an elk was to bury yourself in a
clump of bushes and wait for him to
come to you. I knew better, and so
we herded up the proup and tried to
close in on them in a circle. Well,
they all ot away except one bull, who'
was cornered until I could pet a shot
at him. 1 was flattering myself that it
was a preat shot when I saw him fall
fiat on his side and never move a hair.
"You know all about killing elk,' I
said, sarcastic like, to the squaw man.
'You killed him, you akin him,' he
said.
" 'All ripht,' said I. 'but you don't
pet any of the meat.' And with that !
out with my knife and walked quickly
over to the dead elk, never noticing
where he was hit. I got square over
on his neck, and was just reaching with
my knife to strike the skin from his
head when of all surprises I ever pot
that was the worst. That bull elk
just raised up in the air with me on his
neck. and. tossing- his head. caught me
squarely on his horns. I came down
like a piece of lead ore in a thousand
foot shaft. I tried to hang- on to his
horns but he jerked my grip and threw -me
hiph in the air and on the pround,
where I lay with the breath knocked
out of me and too scared to move and
thinking- he would trample m to
death in the sage brush. Finally my
friends frot in their work. The elk
hail so much fun that he did not see
them cominp, and L'ncle Pete put a ball
in his heart just as the beast wa
about to jump on me with all four
feet. The elk tumbled over on me. and
under his crushing- weight I fainted.
The next I remembered was the smell
of smuggled Canadian whisky andfthe
squaw man saying- with a laugh:
It takes a long-time to learn an
elk's ways.
Like lien. Jrant ic4he interview,
'I had nothing- to say on the subject."'
HER HEART ON HER. SLEEVE,
Tk taster ilrl Never Hide Her Emo
tions, sa Hue Ladles lto.
It is an interesting- sight to see the
real coster pirl. not her stage present
nieut. enjoying herself on a bank holi
day. First of all, she is very smart according-
to her own ideas, which, to do
her justice, are original and not pale
copies of the West kind ladies.
Her hair, especially, engages her at
tention, and in this she prefers a dis
tinctive style of her own. The hair is
parted at each side, cut short and very
much curled and crimped, and sur
mounted by a large hat and ostrich
feathers coming well over the eyes, in
some cases almost hiding- them. Shw
is musical, too. and easily breaks into
singing- and dancing. -
It is sad to note this unsatisfied
longing- to indulg-e in rhythmical move
ment as exemplified in a slow valse
dauced by two of the same sex, or a
wild sort of jig partaking of the can
can and the breakdown shared in by
both men and women, says the London
Graphic. A crowd of admiring- and en
couraging bystanders gathers round
quickly, applauding or criticising- in
their own peculiar manner. The belle
is arrayed in a brown dress with pink
bow at the neck, a large green velvet
hat and feathers, a large white shawl
and white gloves. She is as self-conscious
as the beauty of a Iielgrave
Square hall, and dances with an enjoy
ment and an unction unknown to the
languid lady.-
Tbere is no sitting out here, no
useless dancing men. for both sexes
seem equally delighted to revolve with
each other. There is. an evident love
of bright colors in the dress of boys
and girls, and there is a hearty, bois
terous flow of high spirits and of some
what rough good-nature, coupled with
a laudable determination to be happy,
which is as refreshing as it is unforced.
I FOND OF NURSING PEOPLE.
A Ckaraetartettc of flwiw Mlxhtlng-ale
Irwas Hoe Earliest Yostta.
Florence Nightingale, the world
famous nurse, was born in Florence,
Italy, in 1823. says a writer in the De
troit Free lress. Her father, William
Edward Shore, of England, inherited
the estate of his grand-uncle, I'eter
Nipntiupale, and, in pursuance of his
will, assumed the name Nightingale.
As the child of wealthy parents. Miss
Nightingale was well educated. From
early childhood the care of the sick was
a favorite occupation of hers, and in
ls-19 she entered, as a voluntary nurse,
a school of deaconesses to qualify her
self to minister to the sick. In 1S54. at
the solicitation of Secretary of War
Sidney Herbert, she went to Constanti
nople as the superintendent of a staff of
nurses to care for the soldiers of Great
ltritain who were wounded in the
Crimean war. Ry her rare executive
ability and thorough knowledge of
what was necessary she made the hos
pital, which was in a most deplorable
etate, a model in thoroughness and
perfection of its appointments. Ss
immense were her labors that she fre
quently stood for twenty hours in suc
cession giving directions. Notwith
standing this her pleasant smile and
kind words to the sick made her almost
idolized by the army. She returned to
England SeptemWr 8, 1S56. Her serv
ices have secured her the sineerest
gratitude of the English people and a
world renown. (Jueen Victoria sent
her a letter of thanks, with a superb
jewel. A subscription of two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars n-ki raised
to found an institute for the training
of nurses under her direction, and the
soldiers of the army, by a penny con
tribution, raised a sum sufficient to
erect a statue to her honor, which she
refused to allow.

The aphis, whien is known by the
common name of "plant louse," is an
entomological enitrma as well as an
atrricultiiral pest. Tlie scientists do not
preterit to know just exactly how many
varieties of aphis l.rowse on the green

estimate them them at l.otX). a larjre
proportion of that number having been

Sticklers for the nicest proprieties

Field interrupted him. called him by

cracked a little joke with him in tin
most free and easy way. It was as i
he had said: '"See here, Tomkins. yoi

Mr. F. C. Selous. the great African
hunter, in one night killed three lions.
Two had Wen shot, and Selous and his
native servant had pone to lied in their
hut. when another lion began to sniff
around the frail shelter. It was so
dark that nothing could lie seen, but
instant action was necessary, as the
lion might any moment force an en
trance. "To prevent such a consum
mation," says Mr. Selous. I pushed
the muzzle of my rille between the
poles, just where my ears told me my
would-be interviewer was moving
them, and. pointing it upward, holding
the stock on the ground, pulled the
trigger. Once more, and for the thin!
time that night, the report of the rille
was answered by the most terrific
roars it is jiossible to conceive, uttered
as they were within six feet of oui
ears." Then the hunter returned to
his couch and slept calmly till morn-

"'Oh. I saw him this morning. It i:

An Englishman traveling in the
south some years ago was interested
when a chance acquaintance at a hotel
said to him: ''I have some of Long
fellow's hair." Then he drew from his
pocket a little box and exhibited a
quantity of coarse black hair. "Oh."
said the Englishman, with surprise, "I
should have thought it would have
been white." "No," said the proud
possessor of the relic. "It's all right.
I was in the stable myself yesterday
and got this where he'd switched it off
against the side of his stall." It was
thus .that the Englishman first learned
that a famous horse had been named
for the poet.

A queer coincidence occurred in one
of the city churches last Sunday. Dur
ing the service one of the ushers noti
fied a physician in the congregation
that a call had been made for him in
the vestibule. The doctor bounced out
with hat and overcoat, and was soon
on his way to see a patient. About ten
minutes later the usher walked down
the aisle until he came opposite a well
known undertaker. There was a whis
pered word or two, and the under
taker hurried out. It was not the same
case, but he followed the doctor, and a
broad smile floated out over the con
gregation. Atlanta Journal.
Former Mall Services
Less than fifty years ago there wa
really no postal system in this country,
l'revious to 1847 the malls were carried
by private firms, and rates varied according-
to distance. Carriers often
traveled on foot or horseback and the
progress was slow. In 1S4$ some of the
post offices issued stamps of their own,
called "provisional issues." The ad
hesive stamp was first used in this
country in 1S47, and prepayment was
made compulsory in ls.VS. In 1C3 the
stamp containing the head of Andrew
Jackson was issued, and from then
until 135 the style adopted contained
the profiles of presidents of the United
States.

HAVE THE SMALLEST HANDS.
Americas Women Take the Led. fol
lowed by 1 heir M latere of Austria.
The women of North America have
the smallest hands in the world, and
next to them come the Austrian, Span
ish. French and Italian ladies. Those
of the fair Spaniard, according to the
New York Tribune, are often spoiled
by coarse finders, rounded at tho tips.
Russians have loni. but beautifully
formed hands. The hands of Kng-lUh
women of rank are aristocratically
bhaped, but they are lonr and some
time!) too dry. The French prande
dame takes the befct care of her hands
all the world over, tiermaiis are gen
erally endowed with lare and tlat
ones with enormous tinker. A typical
beautiful hand is that of Duchesse
de Mouchy (nee Anna Murat); it is
very small, delicately formed, with
taper lingers curved a little at the ex
tremities, and almond nails. The hand
of Vieomtes.se de (ialard is exquisite.
It recalls t'anova's btatues, of which
the hands are smaller and more aris
tocratic than those of the famous
(ireek models. Two of the Austrian
archduchesses are noted for their
lovely hands. Archduchess Eliza
beth, mother of Queen ChrLstina
of Spain, and Archduchess Maria
Theresa, sister-in-law of Emperor
Francis Joseph. Of fair Frenchwomen
who can boast of a cliarminn hand the
duchesses of Ayen and Mouchy are
among- the liest known; also Princess
de la Tour d"Auverg-ne and I'riticess de
W atfraiu. Duchess de Luynes and
Princess de l'oix, Mmea. Yturbo and de
Mieri, though Spaniards, have hands
as perfect as their feet, an 1 lluchcss
de Sloruy is another of the peninsular
beauties whose hands are g-ooj. A
charming specimen of the Russian
hand is that of Duchess de Sesto long-,
but superbly made, while tho.e of
Duchess de la Ilouchefoucauld and of
Lady Randolph Churchill, nee Jerome,
afford illustrations of the lovely little
hand of the North American woman.
Most . Parisiennes wear ti 1 or Cjtj
;loves. These are tiot the i mailt;
sizes for a pretty liaud, but are those
worn by muuy of the fairest of the sex
nevertheless; for a titflit tflove is a por
fect abomination. It makes the hand
look larg-er instead of smaller.
A DUEL WITH CLUBS.
Mrs wny M out ana l'eouetore Uko lire w
Lots for the llnl liluw.
"The most remarkable duel I ever
witnessed," said William A. (iladwin
to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat man.
"was away out in Montana several
years af.ro. It wasn't one of your tin
de siecle affairs of honor, nor was it a
frlove contest for points; it was simply
an attempt to decide who was able to
(rive and take the most punishment.
Two burly fellows in our prospeetinjr
party hail a difference which they
wanted to settle by shooting each
other, and it was only by disarmin1
them both that we saved their bullets.
The men were very surly after beiutr
deprived of their six-shooters and for
several hours did not speak. Then
thev approached each other and con
versed with a calmness winch some ol
the arty mistook for a burial of the
hatchet, and the wag- of the crowd
handed over his plug- and invited them
to 'chew the pipe of peace.' A few
minutes afterward t awli man louug-ed
off into the adjoining timber, ioing- in
opposite directions. Feeliuj- nervous.
I struck out after them. I lost the
track of the man I was following, and
despaired of finding him until I heard
a thud, like a man's skull being bat
tered. 1 followed up the sound and
was soon the spectator of & brutal duel
on the old Indian plan. The men .had
drawn lots for first blow, and the loser
had stood his p round while his ad ver
sa ry tried tu fell him with something
very like a club. As provided in ' the
code the men took turns in giving and
receiving blows, and when I got up
each had bad two, if not three, chances
to brain the other. Each had his face
covered with blood and was beg-inning
to be feeble. I stood for a moment
overcome with horror, and then draw
ing my revolver came forward and
compelled the combatants to quit.
Neither suffered permanently from his
punishment, and the exponents of one
of the most brisVal dueling codes ever
heard of lived to become fairly friend
ly with each other."
THE CONDUCTOR OUTWITTED.
A Sheriff Who Would Mot l et a Kallroad
Law Mother II nil.
A ludicrous row over the separate
coach law occurred on the Cincinnati
Southern road recently. Sheriff Rol
erts. of Iloone county, had a white and
colored prisoner, destined for the eni
tentiary in this city, and took them
both in the colored coach. The con
ductor, evidently not informed that
nurses and prisoners are exempt from
the provisions of the law, insisted that
the slier i If should leave the colored car
and take his white prisoner with him,
says the St. Louis lobe-Democrat.
The sheriff refused to separate them,
but took both to the white car. The
conductor then told him he would have
to place his colored prisoner in the
proper car, and the sheriff replied he
would not do it, and if put off would
sue the company. The row became
.threatening, and the sheriff, in order
to avoid trouble, went back into the
colored car when the train stopped,
and when again seen by the conductor
got back into the white car. Iu this
way they quarreled over the whole
route to Georgetown, but the sheriff
landed his prisoners in the peniten
tiary securely locked together.
APPARITIONS IN HISTORY.
Uyron often received visits from a
specter, but he knew it to be a ereation
of imagination.
liokTHK states that he one day saw
the exact counterpart of himself com
ing toward him.
Popk saw an arm apparently come
through the wall and made inquiries
after its owner.
Dr. Johsisom heard his mother
call his name in a clear voice, though
she was at that time in another city.
Count Eaimancel Swkdknbkko be
lieved that he had the privilege of in
terviewincr persons in the spirit world.
Lotola, lying wounded during the
siege of Pampeluna, saw the Virgin,
who encouraged him to prosecute his
mission.
Dkscabtes waa followed by an in
visible person, whose voice he heard
urging him to continue his researches
after truth.
Sir Jomiiva Reynolds, leaving his
house, thought the- lamps were trees
and the men and women bushes agi
tated by the breeze.
Oliver Ckomwkll, lying sleepless on
his couch, saw the curtains open and a
gigantic woman appear, who told him
he would become the greatest man iu
England.
lioaTocic, the physiologist, saw figures
and faces, and there was one human
face constantly before him for twenty
four hours, the features and headgear
as distinct as those of a living person.
Samory, the great Mohammedan
chief of interior Africa, is about the
last semi-savage of the dark country
to yield to civilization and the force of
arms. The French have gradually
driven him into closer quarters, and
now the British are conducting raids
against his warriors. Samory is the
greatest bandit king in the world.
