A wild-looking, unkempt chap, faunt, shabby, with a four days' jrrowth of beard, rushed in, looked wildly around and then hurried over to my compan ion and took him aside.- As a. result of their conversation the man with me turned to me and said in a whisper: "I am going' to ask ..you to loan me two dvITars. but don't you do it." Tlu? n he asked me and I refused the hiaut and the faunt man went unstead ily out. -Ju-er duck, that." said the man at the table with me; "always fettinf into scrapes, taking- out opera com panies and leavinf them stranded. The last scrape he fot into was in Montreal. He telegraphed home: I am in jail on a technicality, but don't tell mother.' That struck me as very funny, 'Don't tell mother.' Hut he was always an ill-balanced ass. anyway." Now the thoufrhtfulness of his moth er in the younjr man who wanted to borrow two dollars struck me as a rather deserving trait, and I left my companion abruptly and followed him out. 1 saw enouirh of him to convince me that he was not a man of business, and not even an admirable character. However. I loaned him the two dol lars. Since then he has ln-en consider ably in the public view in many ups and downs. Hut he is now cominf home from the other side as the im presario of a lot of continental stars. I wish him well. Like Mark Twain I love a man who never shakes his moth er.

The rice paper trew. one of the most interesting of the flora of China, has recently been successfully experiment ed with in Florida, where it now flour ishes with other subtropical and Ori ental species of trees and shrubs. When tirst transplanted in American soil the ex H-rim-nters expressed doubts as to its hardiness, fearing that it would lie unable to stand the winters. All these fears have vanished, however, and it is now the universal opinion that it is as well adapted to the climate of this country as to that of the famed Flower- Kinfdom. It is a small tree, f rowinf to a height of less than fifteen feet, with a trunk or stem from three to five inches in diameter. Its canes, which vary in color according to season, are large, soft and downy, the form somewhat resembling that noticed in those of the castor Wan plant. The celebrated rice paper, the product of this queer tree, is formed of thin slices of the pith, which is taken from the body of the tree in Wautiful cylinders several inches in length. The Chinese workmen apply the blade of a sharp, straight knife to these cylinders, says the St. Louis Republic, and, turning them round either by rude machinery or by l.mnl. dexterous ly pare the pith from circumference to center. This operation makes a roll of extra quality pajer. the scroll leing of equal thickness throughout. After a cylinder has thus ln-en pared it is un rolled and weights are placed upon it until the surface is rendered uniformly smooth throughout its entire length. It is altogether probable that if rice paper making liecomes an industry in the United States these primitive modes will be done away with. HE HAD FOUND IT. JloA Knew JuHt Kioactly How Machine 1'iwtrjr Wan (iniund Out. The younfr man and the young wom an from half a mile Iteyond the timler line came hesitatingly into the office, and the young man inquired if they could look 'round a bit and see how a newspaper was made. Of course, per mission was granted at once, and a guide was furnished to do the honors. They went everywhere, and, on the principle of saving1 the lest till the last, they wound up in the editorial rooms. About the first thing that attracted their attention in that department was a smooth-li Miking young- fellow busily at work on a typewriter. The young1 man left his fair companion in the hands of the guide and sidled over to the writer. He had no idea what it was. but in a minute or two he noticed the written page as it slowly emerged from the roller, and he beckonJd hasti ly for the girl to come over, says the IVtroit Free lres-s. "J say, Maria," he said, as he caught her by the arm and dragged her closer, "look at that, w ill you?" "What is it?" she asked. "You've heard tell of the machine poetry they have in the newspapers, haven't you?" She nodded. "Well." he explained, "that's what they make it on. You watch the young feller awhile and see how fast he can turn it out." and they stood by the busy writer so long that it almost gave him a conniption fit. and then broke him all up by asking him if he couldn't )rive them a sample to take home with them. HIS FRESH OLIVES. How m California I'UnUr Anium lllmiwlf at the Kxpentte of lonortnt Traveler. Eastern visitors to California are al ways much interested in the olive plan tations which in recent years have be come a feature of the most southerly counties of the state. The lovers of the succulent fruit when pickled and 1 mt tied for sale in the east and north are always anxious to tate the olive fresh and ripe. Tkere is a popular im pression that it is sweet and delicious, but. like many other topular impres sions, this isa delusion and a snare. A few miles south of San Diego, says the New York Herald, w here the rail road niakesa junction with a small one track road leading into Mexico, a large planter has taken advantage of this de lusion for his own amusement. On the arrival of each train from the north numerous travelers dismount to await the starting- of the train across the Mexican liorder. For their Wnefit the planter has nailed a 1mx outside of his fence just across the way from the rail road station which he keeps filled with nice, ripe olives. A placard invites vic tims in these words: ; FINE. FKKSH. RIPE OLIVES, : kkkk. : : HELP YOL'KSELF. : Of course there is a rush from the station as soon as the box and its con tents are discovered, and swarms of in nocents seize the pretty fruit and dig their teeth into it. Then there is a combined howl and a gTeat deal of ex pectoration and disgust, for the delu sive fruit are nearly as puckery as per simmons. And the planter? Oh, he takes his fun from a partly hidden summer house within his grounds, where he occasion ally seats himself to enjoy the specta cle. . It is a sure cure for the blues, he says. Mme.

The length -f the b.).x is three times that of the pnmt.-e stone block, which is tightly lit ted into the middle, and pipes are arn.nrred to convey the ingredients to the empty ends of the Ihix. as required. Two of them enter from the sides, and serve to brintf carbonic acid and hydro-earlw n o-as. whiie another pilH' from alove branches so as to reach 1kiv!i empty jxirtions of the lox atil conveys su-iim. All the pipes are tit ted with valve and pres-.ure fraujres. Another pipe, at the lnittom of the liox. serves as an outlet. At lirst this pipe is closed, its is als the steam pijH' from alxive. and carlionie jicid is forced into one end of the box. while ethylene pis is forced into the other, under equal pressure and in equal volumes. A few minutes later the steam valve alxive is opened and the steam forced in under the same pressure. As the jrases unite the pressure falls, so that the supply of each must Ik- kept constant. At the end of half an hour the supply of pis is shut off. the outlet pilc is opened ami one of the chamWrs i; found to Ik- lillino- with syrup, con taining twenty-five ier cent, of Mijrar. The syrup is drawn off for refiniiir. and as sniii as the apparatus is c;iol it is ready for afresh char-re. The ethylene pis can lie obtained by roasting rosin or o-reasc. but M. Pellegrini's patent covers other hydr-carhoiis. such as petroleum products. The explanation is that the three -rases are condensed irt the pores of the pumice stone and there unite: but M.

Hotr It Is Conducted Among; t tie lotta wittomi:. Inilt.-tiiK In Kiiumii. The Pottawatomie Indians are at present ha vino- their annual "jrreen corn dance" on their reservation, a'tiout twenty miler north of town. The jrreen corn dance is a celebration to the I ndian deity on the arrival of the jrreen corn, as the name suirrests, says the Tocka .Journal. The dance lasts day ami nijrht for sometimes as lonr as eiirht days. thonrh of late years the limit has been shortened as civiliza tion approached. It will probably soon die out altogether. Of course the braves they alone do the dancinjr do notdanoc all this time without rest. The dance simply keeps up that lonir. different braves dancinir while ot Iters rest. The exercises are conducted in a rinr not unlike the cir cus rinr. The participants sire dressed in all the protcsque costumes of the race, with feathers. Wads and furs. The braves are seated around the edpe of the rinp with faces to the center. The music, which consists of several Indians lieatiiijr on one skin drum in the middle of the rinp. you could not distinpuish. but there must le some tune about the noise, for the players always strike topether without a break. The dance which consists of contortions of the body that only an Indian is capable of and hideous imita tions of the cries of wild animals lasts continuously for alxiut half an hour, and then the music stops, while one of the braves in the rinp makes a speech, always in the Indian tonpue. The squaws" part of the propramme lies in takinp care of the babies and cookinp a prccii-colorcd liquid from the corn, which is broupht into the rinp in tin buckets steaminp hot. and frotn which the dancers take refresh ment. HE WAS MOVING. And for a Wonder His ItelontrinRH Itld Not Croud the mi. A yonnp man on the South side had two rooms in a Hat buildinpand had furnished them himself. lie had all the comforts of a home such as a fold it. p bed, a dresser and a set of boxinp ploves. His lease expired on Muv I, and he had some other rooms ctipapcd, but he required two weeks in which to screw up his eourape to the movinp jxiint. says the t 1 licapo Kccord. He hired a brawny man to do the packinp. The carpets, the Iniokcase and the other traps, inchidinp two trunks, made a formidable shov.inp. and whun he telephoned the transfer company he said: '"Send one of your larpest wapons." Next morninp early there was a rap at his door and the brawny man said: "The wapon is here." lie fore anythinp was carried down stairs he went out in front just to as sure himself that the wapon was larpe enouph. He found that it was. It re sembled a storape warehouse on heels. It was as larpe as the Marmmi caL'e in which travel the two h'nioH tami. The driver sat on tiie roof, away up in the air, and the horses were ilwarfed into ponies. W hen the back doors were opened there yawned a cavernous interior in which two sets could have danced a quadrille There was no doubt alxuit it Winp larpe enouph. After all the earthly jxisses sions of the yonnp man had Wen pushed into one corner, the captain of the van asked where the rest of the stuff was to Ik- found. "That's all." said the yonna man. "All: That's not enouph for ballast. Why didn't you pet a whcclltormw?" "I didn't know they had any wapons so hip." stammered the humiliated yonnp man. His property did make a paltry simwinp. When he paid the bill he was sorry that he hadn't used a whcelborrow. A Notatile Fvent. When (ueen Victoria travels, an en pine is carefully selected, in charpe of an experienced enpineer and fireman. A pilot enpine always precedes thu royal train, and no train is allowed to cross the main line for half an hour lie fore the time for the qtnen to pass. The pates at all prade crossinps are locked, all shiftinp operations are sus pended and an army of track-walkers are on duty to remove any obstruction from the line. In addition to all this, a telepram is sent from every station hcraldinp her approach. Altopether, it must lie quite an events when her majesty takes a trip, but the peneral traveling- public cannot enjoy it. Origin of the Walking Stick. Probably the patriarchs staff was the first adaptation of the walking stick and from its first inception to the present day it has undergone almost endless changes. In 17ol footmen at tetidinp gentlemen were forbidden to carry swords, these lieing replaced by a porter's staff. Thirty years later gentlemen were forbidden to carry swords, but allowed to carry larpe oak sticks. Ik-fore many years varnished and polished woods with ornamental heads came into use and in one form or another have held their ovra in public popularity.

H-r dress caught, .rave way and she fell, cuttiii' her head just at the crown of the forehead. When the wound healed a slight scar showed on her fore head. To hide this she drew her hair down. l'eitifr unduly sensitive, she could rarely refrain from liiuiiiiir if the hair was doinr its duty by liii-rcriiiir the lock. All through her life, and now in any sudden moment of cn-si-iotisiiess. her lin-rers fly to her hair. She has a daughter, now a married woman, who exhibits the same jk culiarity. When the fashion of hair chauircd and woiin-ii turm-d their hair back a la marquise she found it bec.nii iiifT. but at last was so distracted at not findin- her accustomed lock of hair she aain atloptcil her bailors. Now she has a daurhtcr. a irl of live, who lias a way of catching her fore lock like a ;rroom. Th family made an effort to break the habit, but irave it ti as hereditary and hopeless. There isa man who says thai whena child he could not rct to sleep without rubl-in-,' a picc if Canton flannel. V1 n-ii In- jrot iut trousers, tin.l fi'.im that time since, when he irrow.-. ni.-.li-tative. he rubs the side of his trousers. He has a boy ciyht yi-ars old. This Ikiv rubs the side of his trousers -.vh.--.iev.-i-he is studyiii;r or rca-Un;'. As his lir. trers are not always clean there is a cer tain ar :t on his trousers that occasions much distress. This also is set down to heredity. Now. pertaining- to such cas.i. there is a paragraph in the Lancet which ridi cules the transmission of these mus cular peculiarities. They arc merelv family tricks, and the result of imita tion. Not only do such likcne.-.- es rii:i in families, but tricks of manner, forms, of siviili. distinguished school -Ihivs educate I at d'uferent x -1 s. An Eton h.iy can lie rec.;fni.ed anywhere, and Oxford and fambrid-.- imprint their own stamp on their stulcat.. These facts lead to the more im: rt:iiit t-oiii-lu-i..n that education hy iuiit.itioii is not sulhcietitlv co'.isi.l. re.l in nikii-rii systems.

Trace of the ilu.y Little Animals Found In the AiliraMiiSacka. It lias Ik-cii stipixisc.l that Wavers were long extinct in the Adirondacks but fresh work by them has lH-cn found on the outlet of Lake Meaeham. twenty-live miles south of Malone. This discovery has attracted a good deal of attention from the guides and hunters. Ik-avers feed on the bark of the birch, willow, alder and iK.plar. and it is their habit to lay by stores of food in the summer. Guides w ho were fishingon Meaeham outlet recently found sticks of poplar of varying length and diameter, from half an inch to an inch, cut almor.t as neatly at each end as if the work could have ln-en done with the knife. It was unmistakably the work of Wavers. It would add largely to the charm of the Adirondacks if Wavers were airain to csoo.osn iiicmseivcs there and their strange hnl.it-.t ti. . erect - - - in laws now forbid the game . "I ixlll- ing of these animais at anv time of kill- year. Original rhraninir. There are many w.mderful dialects in existence, says HartH-rs Magazine, t ne of these is what might W called the suburWn domestic dialect- that used by servants in the rural commu nities m the daily routine of house work. Several examples have come to h:uid. A suburbanite was greeted, one morning, as he entered his dininir room, with this choice specimen- "Mr J., the colt has friz the pipes. They've bust, and the cellar's all afloat'" The same domestic, while at work in the hall adjoining the library w here her employer was writing, thinking he might prefer not to witness the opera tion of polishing the floor, entered the room, and said: "Mr. J., do you w ant the door cluz, or the curtains drew?"
