"It was in Teuuessce," raid tte traT
eling man, "it bppel. on one of
those back country roads which I a
traveling on my way to a town where I
bad a fine list of customers. The night
was closing in, and I was wondering
bow lonir it would take me to r?ah a
place where I coold spend the nig'. I
knew that I was among the moonshin
ers, for the jng on a stnmp with tbe
money tinder it was in evidence along
the road. I bad no thought cf being
molested in that eonnrry. where the.
only warfare is against the revenue
officers, and no one would have suspect
ed me of complicity with the govern
ment "A slight noise startled my horse.
aDd I leaned out of the buggy to look
into tbe chamber of a revolver. At the
same time I saw two figures, one on
each side of me, and, checking my
horse, I tried to assume a bravado I
was far from feeling as I asked:
" Well, gentlemen, what is foor will
wilh me?"
"You can imagine my surprise when
boyish voice afked:
'Ein you shave yourself r
"I answered that I always shaved
myself. Without lowering bis revolver
be looked across me to bis pal on tbe
other side.
He uns will do, Jim. IIop in an
I'll lead the horse.'
"Having made op my mind not to be
dragged on iu any each ignominious
manner, I said:
"If you are going to 6hoot me. I
suppose I must give np my life, as I am
unarmed. If it is money you want, I"
"'Tell him, Jim, said the one who
was leading my horse.
"Yer won't be killed nor robbed nor
nothin, if yer don't try ter give us the
slip. Sh' t your mouth now, mister, an
you'll know more right soon.'
"We must have gone a mile before
we came to a turn in the road that
brought us out in front of a cabin much
larger than any I bad seen that day in
my travel. A woman stood at the door
crying.
" 'HeT yer foun somebody, boys? she
asked anxiously.
" 'Yep, morm, an be '11 do the job up
slick 'thout askin much pay. '
"I wondered if I was to be compelled
to murder some one. The boys were
beardless mountain loafers I bad met
their type often, but I never knew them
to be desperadoes.
I was shown into tbe cabin by tae
woman, one of the boys following with
the revolver, while the other waited to
fasten the horse to a scrub oak. I saw a
figure stretched on a settle, and the idea
Cashed into my mind that I was mis
taken for a ? ctor.
"I am not a medical man,' I began
to explain, when the woman cut me
short
"'You tins 'ud a been tew late ef
yon nns was a doctor. He passed outen

where aroun as shaves hisself or enny

"Tbe revulsion of feeling which came
over me was not altogether pleasurable,
for I did not fancy the idea of playing
barber to a dead man, but when I looked
at tbe cadaverous countenance and
tangled gray beard cf the deceased I felt
a sort of professional pride in making
him look uore like a mortal being and
less like a wolf. I bad always been an
abstainer from strong drink, but I filled
np no crude spirits that would bare
killed me on an ordinary occasion and
tackled my silent customer with a fe
verish and hysterical alacrity. This was
in part due to tbe close proximity of
tbe two boys and their revolvers. But
as soon as I had tbe old mountaineer
shaved the revolvers were laid aside and
I was treated with the utmost hospi
tality. Tbe vcrk itoelf bad not been
half as gruesome as I bad imagined,
and I bad to fight a ludicrous tempta
tion to pour barber talk into tbe deaf
ears. He was such an improvement over
himself when alive as I judged by the
family lingo that I wanted to ask him
to look in a mirror. I declined tbe fee
tendered me by the boy Jim, and, sup
plied with a jug of moonshine whisky,
I was set in the right road and per
mitted to leave.
"I found it true that in all that com
munity not a man bad ever been shaved,
and it was only in deference to a whim
nf tbe old mocntainecr, expressed on
his deathbed, that be was made such a
curious exception. I did not mention
my part in the transaction until I was
far beyond that county line, for I was
not sure that, a precedent being set,
they might not again demand my serv

Kearly every one of the sovereigns
of Europe, it appears, bas one or more
pet dogs. The collies of Queen Victoria,
the fox terriers cf Princess Beatrice,
with Jock as prime favorite, are known
at ljast by hearsay to every body.
The emperor of Russia is also a great
lover of dogs. A Loudon paper reports
that he is always accompanied in bis
walks ty a couple cf fine Danish
bounds, wbose strength and vigilance
their master considers his best safe
guard. Tbe gravo czar is often 'seen
playing with these nionter pf ts. He
hitiiself has taupbt them tbeir tricks,
and thty are nearly always about him.
The king cf Greece shares the czar's
taste fcr the Danish hounds, which are
as intelligent as they are strong, and
which, with hardly a Lark to announce
tbeir intentions, will fly at the throat
of any one whom their master may
point out to them in case of need.
When tbe empress of Austria goes on
bcr long walks or rides, several pet
dogs always accompany ber. But per
haps tbe most widely known of all the
"royal dogs" of the prescDt day is
Black, tbe pet dog of the Russian Grand
Duke Alexis.
Black is a sportsman's dog, of no
very aris-tocratic breed. Indeed, if tbe
truth must be told, he is a member of
the race of mongrels which the fisher
men in the south of France take out to
sea, employing them to recaptu." any
wily fish that may fall through tbe
meshes cf their nets cr slip suddenly
back into its element after it bas been

is 6till rejoiciDg in the days cf his
youth, but bis record, cot only as a
common fisherman but as a " 'fisher of
men, " is already great, for be bas saved

Grand Duke Alexis was staying at
Biarritz; One stormy night he went out
on the cliff to get a view of the angry
sea. A boat was just being wrecked be
low, and he saw a dog dashing with
angry gTOwls and barks into the water
and bringing to laud, one by one, three
drowning men, while the crowd cheered
the brave mongrel to the echo. The
grand duke approached to caress tbe
dog, and the animal's master then
offered Black to him, refusing to accept
any payment St Louis Post-Dispatch.
CURIOUS INSECT.
A Itutterfly That Enjoys Only Five Roars
r Life.
It is in Angust that the naturalists
observe the marvelous insect which is
born, reproduces and dies iu the period
cf a single night, on the bunks of tho
Huruo, cf tbe Seine, and of the Rhine
It is the cphemere of which Sirammer
daiu bas written and which is spoken
cf in Aristotle.
Tbe life of this insect does not last
beyond four or five hours. It dies to
ward 11 o'clock in tbe evening, after
taking the form cf a butterfly about sir
bcurs after midday. It is true, how
ever, that before taking this form it
bas lived three years in that of a worm,
which keeps always near the border cf
water ia the boles which it makes in
tbe mud.
The change of this worm in tbe
water to an ephemere which flies is so
sudden that one has not tbe time to see
it. If one takes the worm in the water,
the hand cannot be taken away before
the change is made unless by pressing
the worm slightly iu tbe region of the
chest. By this means it can be taken
from the water before the change takes
place.
The ephemere, after leaving the
water, Shi kg a place where it can divest
itself of a fine membrane cr veil, which
entirely covers it This second change
takes place in the air.
The ephemere assists itself with the
point cf its little nails as firmly as it
can. It n.?kea a movement similar to
that of a shiver, then the skin cn the
middle of the back breaks apart, the
wings slip oat cf their sheath, as we
sometimes take off our gloves by turn
ing them inside eut After this strip
ping the ephemere begins to fly. Some
times it bolds itself straight np on tbe
surface of tbe water on tbe end of its tail.
Gapping its wings one against the
other. It takes no nourishment in the
five or six hours which are the limit of
its life. It seems to have been formed
but to multiply, for it does not leave
its state of a worm until it is ready to
deposit its eggs, and it dies as soon as
they are deposited.
In three days' time one sees appear
and die all Fpecies of ephemeres. They
last sometimes until tho fifth day, for
the reason that some malady has affect
ed some of them and prevents them from
changing at the same time as tbe
others. Excbatga
The Oyster's Beard.
Old fashioned cookbooks invariably
order ns to "beard the oyster." "I
was quite an experienced housekeeper,"
said a well known cooking authority,
"before I knew what tbe beard of an
oyster was. It is, I believe, the little
frilL
"The question then occurred, Why
should this portion be removed? With
our American oyster there is no occa
sion to remove it, and we never do it"
No douLt many a new housekeeper
has felt guilty of omitting to do some
thing that should be done wben she
served ber husband oysters with tbeir
"bcaroa" on. She felt doubly guilty
when be praised them fcud declured they
were the best oysters he baa ever eaten.
Probably she kept the secret nntil she
consulted some eld boust p per, who
promptly told her she didn't know what
the beard cf an oyster was, and that cer
tainly no one nowadays ever removes it
This expression is generally found in
eld English works of the order of the
Complete British Housewife. It Is prob
able that this portion of the oysters of
Great Britain is especially tinctured
with their coppery flavcr and was for
merly removed. Certainly no ine today
who eats his oysters at Delmonico's or
at any famous restaurant finds the frill
or any portion cf the mollusk, except
tbe shell, missicg.
A boot a, Wonderful Tree.
Did you ever hear cf a tree tearing
glue, towels, cloth, tinder and bread?
There is just such a wonder. It is
found cn the Pacific islands and it is
called tho bread fruit tree.
It is about as tall as a three story
bor.se and the branches come cut straight
from the tree like so many arms. They
are covered with leaves nearly 8 feet
long and deeply gashed at tbe edges,
while half hidden among them is the
fruit, growing like apples on short
etems, but larger and Laving a thick
yellow rind.
This fruit ia like bread, and it is in
season during eight months of the year,
tho jiatives finding a good living in it
Tbcy gather it while it is green and
bake it in an oven. Scraping off its
cuter blackened crust they come to the
loaf, which is very much like nice white
bread.
As for glue, it coxes frcan the trunk
cf tho treo and is found useful for many
purposes. The leaves make excellent
towels for the few natives who care to
use them, and from the inner bark of
tbe tree a kind of coarse cloth can be
made. Besides this, its dried blossoms
are nsed for tinder in lighting fires, and
the wood is in great demand fcr build
ing purposes. Chicago Record.

HE CAPTURED THE GRIZZLY JUST IN
THE NICK OF TIME.
Bow the Bidras Bay lbes Dtapeae of
tba Old and lsxHgvnt Members This
Old Warrior Sooght Another Death aad
Got a New Lease la Life.
"There is but cue beast that the Indi
ans are really afraid cf." said Egertoa
Young, the Baptist minister who re
cently returned from a long sojourn
among the Hudson bay tribes, where
be was the pioneer missionary. "That
is tho grizzly bear, the tiger cf North
America. Only once have I beard cf a
grizzly being captured alive, and in
that case the feat saved the life of a fa
mous old warrior.
"Among many of the Hudson bay
tribes it is tbe cuFtom for the ablebod
ied to put to death the old men and wo
men w ho are no longer able to do tbeir
share cf tbe work. Tbe old women are
simply knocked on the bead without
ceremony. The process of getting rid of
an old man is more elaborate. The In
dians do not think it well to stain their
hands with the blood of one who was
ouoe a warrior. So they delegate the
task to tbeir hereditary enemies, the
wolves, to which they render ail assist
ance in their power.
"When it bas been decided at a sol
emn powwow that any particular old
man is to die, instructions are given to
a number of young men to take meas
ures to get rid of him immediately.
Among the executioners are always the
eons cf the condemned man. The day
after sentence has been passed these ex
ecutioners call on the veteran, attack
him with stones and spears and drive
bim into the wilderness. There they
leave bim to bis fate. A few days later
they return and collect a few well
gnawed bones, which they bring back
with fitting ceremonies.
"Among all tbe warriors r'anging
to a tribe with which I made a long so
journ, none bad a more glorious record
than Miss-Miss. But Miss-Miss was get
ting old. His eyes were dim, bis hands
were slow, and rarely did he bring
home a fat buck. Furthermore, food
was scarce, and Miss-Miss retained an
excellent appetite. One morning Miss
Miss got orders to be prepared to
receive the next day a delegation of
yonng braves led by hAg two stalwart
sous.
"But Miss-Miss, tbongh be had as
sisted in many such ceremonials in bis
day, bad not yet come to consider him
self old fjd useless. He was very angry.
Just as Miss-Miss had done reviling the
ingratitude of the yonng a boy rushed
in to say that a hage grizzly was feed
ing a short distance from tbe camp.
Here was the veteran's chance. All the
braves were away at tbe hunt Children
and squaws and Miss-Miss were tbe sole
occupants cf the camp. He knew that
to face a grizzly single handed was
certain death, but it was the death of a
man. So Miss-Miss armed himself with
his spear and tomahawk and went forth
to seek tho bear.
"He bad uot far to 3. Within a few
hundred yards of the camp he espied
the largest and leanest bear be had seen
for years, making a scanty meal off
dried roots. Crawling np as cloae as he
could, he hurled bis spear. The weapon
struck the bear in the flank. As he had
calculated, the wound bad no further
effect than to infuriate tbe brute and
turn its attention upon him. Miss-Miss
took bis 6tuud with bis back to a tree,
grasped his little tomahawk firmly and
awaited death.
"Now, had it boen an ordinary little
black bear the peril cf M:ss-Miss would
have been small. A black bear would
have risen? on its hind legs when it
came to close quarters, aod leaving its
chest quite unprotected, tried to insert
its paws between tbe man and the tree
in order to hug him to death. All Miss
Miss would have had to do would have
been to wait until it came within arm's
length and plunge his hunting knife in
to its i -best One thrust would have
been sufficient But a grizzly is differ
ent It strikes with its mighty claws.
Miss-Miss awaited tbe onset When the
bear came to close quarters, it rose on
its hind legs and made a mighty, sweep
ing blow at his body. Setting his teeth,
Miss-Miss struck at its bead with his
tomahawk. Tbe weapon was dashed
from his grasp and be was hurled to
the ground, but, much to his surprise,
nniDjured Instead of tbe sharp claws
in bis side he bod felt a mighty buffet
as if from a huge boxing glove. Miss
Miss scrambled to bis feet Tbe next
glance explained matters. Like himself,
the bear was a veteran. It had lost its
claws long since. Miss-Miss dodged
round and round his treo and from one
tree to another. Tbe I car, wbose sight
was dim with age. aimed blow after
blew, with no other effect than that of
bruising its paws against the trunks.
The fight went on, and Miss-Miss'
Bdeugth was giving way, when through
an opening in the forest he espied the
blaze of tbe campfires close at band
The bear saw it, too, and with a grunt
cf disgust and disappointment turned
round and trotted back into tbe depths
of the forest to resume its meaL
"Miss-Miss hastened back to the
camp and called the oldest of tbe boys
together. 'Take your lassoes,' be cried,
'and we will capture a grizzly alive.'
So out tbey went When tbe parry ar
rived within range, Miss-Miss whistled.
The bear raised its bead and the boys
cast their lassoe. One noose fell over
the brute's neck.
"When the braves returned in. the
evening, prepared to chase Miss-Miss
into the wilderness, they found a huge,
roaring grizzly tethered in the middle
of the camp. No one of tbe tribe ever
bad done such a deed. They concluded
the Great Spirit bad willed that Miss
Miss should live, and Miss-Miss is alive
today and in high honor with tbs
tribe, "New York Sun.
Odd Visiting Card.
No donbt you've all beard tbe story
cf the Indian rajah who sent a big ele
phant as a visiting card to his friend, a
neighboring rajah. Cards almost as re
markable as this one have been manu
factured in Germany. They are of solid
iron, although they do not look much
different from ordinary calling cards.
Several cf the great manufacturers have
bad iion rolled in very thin sheets and
then cut into card 6izes, upon which it
was easy to print the name and business
address of the person w ho was to use
them. Some of tbe cards are only one
one-thousandth of an inch thick. Those

maker, arecueeight-hnndred-and-twen-ticth

FOU LITTLE FOLKS.
A BABY PIANIST. '
A Little Ctrl Vst Has Won Dig Pralae
V-resn Oleereted MoslcsJ Critics.
Musical circles in Vienna were inter
ested last year in a little pianist wbose
praise were enrg by no lew a person
than the great critic Edward Ilanslick.
It was Paula Szalir, a Galician, only 10
years old. She is the daughtrr of a
bank clerk in tbe town cf Drohobicz,
aud showed a marked tasf for music at
an unusually early ag?. When she wa
hardly cut cf long clothes, 1J few
old, she would pick ont on the piano
with one finger tho uotcs cf a tun? that
bad been snug to ber, and long before
Hhe had any idea cf the print'! notes
would play melodies cf her own. She
even composed little pieces, such as
songs, dances, eta, which, while of
course they showed no originality.sonnd
ed well and were marked by a decided
feeling for rhythm. Not until she was
mm
PAfLA S7.ALIT.
7 years old did tbe little Panla receive
any regular musical instruction. It was
given her first by ber elder brother, and
then, after they had moved to Vienna,
by Professor Fischoff. and for the last
year by Eugen d' Albert The latter was
so delighted with the little girl's talent
when sho was brought to bim that he
took her to his summer place on tho
Starnbergce See, near Munich, to keep
np her lessons.
People ssy that the little Paula's
playing is charming, net enly on ac
count of her clear technic and the vigor
of her tone, astonishing from hands so
small that they can hardly stretch an
octave, but even more frcn tho artistic
feeling tliat it shows. The little girl ha
the good luck to have sensible parents,
who do net force her talent or try to
make money out of her gifts. Sho is be
ingccrefully bronghtup with bfr broth
er and sister and not allowed to overex
ert tcrself. She has never teen taken on
any concert tour, but has inado a few
einglo public appearances in Vienna,
Prague and Berlin. New York Trib
