There b a Mystery About Him. and Hn Oh Can Tell Whence Be Came Ilia Faod Cotuicta srf Potatoes Only, bat Be Cooks Then Before Eating. There are portions of the north of Ire land where nature assumes a grand and viM aspect On the coa?f Antrim tht re is no armistice In the turicus bat tle that, since the first cgt-s of the ter restrial globe., was engaged between the waves and the rocks. Columns of basalt, like pgautic ,ntinels, stand on guard to resist the invasion cf the ocean, and the profound excavations made oiider the punitc rocks that protect this por tion of the il of La Verte Tag' proves that the waves muht have tcueut!y nsaile most vigorous onslaughts and oulj retired after they had mined a kaid T. hieh they could not conquer. It is not cilacult to imagine that this UKijerfic and desolate fcite should have Hlueed one of the vanrjuishod c-Des in lift-, one who had absolutely derided to H-punita himalf from the society -f tiiau. The real hermits are becoming more and more rare indeed, it was be lieved that they had completely disap peared but if a vocatiot; for that Fitif.ni lurly abandoned pr;fessiou could still be felt by any one it might be in the presence of the marvelous spectacle if that st a w hose waves never subside, of those grottos whose pillars and vaults possess a power which the art of the an hitect can never equal Nature her self firms to have created in those recks a refuse for the shipwrecked, for the proscribed and jo-rhajjs also for those who despise the vanities of life. About ten years ago a mysterious in dividual n.ade Lis home in the grottoes of the coast of Antrim. The approach of aiiy human being seemed to inspire him with an invincible repugnance. As soon as the cavern which he had select ed for his refuge was discovered by the fishermen of the ueighborhxid he immo elkitdy disappeared and tixjk up his quarters 20 or 80 kilometers farther en in another retreat w hich appeared more iiiaixessible For a few mouths his Ii micili v. ns in an old abandoned mine, t ie principal gallery of which advanced uuetr the ground to the distance of tibout five kilometers, but as the inhab itants of the nearest village had long I fore carried away the beams that sus tained the vault to convert them into firewood the hermit was obliged to quit that danpi-rous refuge, where he was constantly exposed to the danger of be ing buried alive. So he installed himself in a grotto, the access to which was more easily discovered, tut it was less obscure, less humid and less liable to cave in. There he flattered himself that he would find at least some of the con ditions of existence that belonged to tho men of the caverns. But it was in Tain that he hoped to return to the life of the first ages of prehistoric humanity. He was obliged to pay tribute to the exigencies of civilization and to mani fest less repugnance for all contact with his fellow beings. One day he found an empty barrel that the tempest had tossed u;.on the shore, and he could not resist the temp tation of bringing it home to serve as a bed. Some indiscreet persons, taking advantage of his absence to visit his apartments, discovered that he had a pot ttx cooking his food. Where did that cooking utensil come from? Was it tih a piece of wreckage rolled up upon the sand by the furious waves, cr was it the httt souvenir of civilized life car ried away by the anchorite who, while ndeavoring to return to the conditions of existence that belonged to prehistoric times, could not abandon the habit of cooking his food? That is a question which hbs never Imu answered, and it is also impossi ble to find out w here ho gets the pota to's upon which he lives. Did thev come from the discreet charity of the poor l:.-hermen of the neighborhood, w ho at 'the propiT time renewed his provisions, or in separating himself from the world did he make arrangements for the traus jxtrtationof his modest provisions? That is also a mystery which has never been - fathomed. One point, however, is cer tain, and that is that the hermit deter mined to live npon potatoes alone One day s sailor offered him half of his din ner The hermit pretended to l glad to accept the gift, but he never touched the food. In the absence of the kind hearted sailor lie tossed it into the sea. Apparently he also vowed that he would never enter a house and never touch a piece of money. He kept his resolutions. Nothing could ever induce him to cross the threshold of any one of the little houses of the fishermen, who tiegan to !"ie sort of affection for him, and never ouce was he known to beg. The tly liberality that be would accept and that he solicited lroiu the mnuificence of strangers was a match to light the firewood gathered for cooking his pota to) The Rev. J. IL Bernard endeavored to lift the veil tliat hid the origin and antecedents of this mysterious person age. The man of the caverns of Antrim endeavors in vain to live the life of a savage. It has been recognized by more than one sign that he has received a good education. From time to time he reads to the fishermen some passages from the Bible, but he never comments upon them. There is no evidence going to prove that tbe man has any particu lar form of insanity beyond, perhaps, the harmless one of the love of solitude. He is always clean and neat in appear ance and seems to be sound and vigor ous in body. He speaks w ith no accent, o that it is impossible to fix the locali ty from which he came. He ecldom smiles, but be doesn't look sad. On the contrary, he has a resigned and perfect ly satisfied look. Who he is and why in ihe wwld he lives such am extraordinary life nobody can tell Loudon Figaro. Looking Backward. "You must fuel very happy iu this lovely cottage you call you own.

I Dearer to tbe Angler Than Any Other Post nulla. Is there anything closer to an angler's h Jut than his flybook? I know of a case where a burglar, among other things, took a flybook. He was arrested and speedily convicted and imprisoned. Ha cleared things out pretty well in ti 1 house, but the owner seemed to care fc f nothing about the missing fur coat, sealskin sacks, silverware and oter valuable Lares and Penates, but he did bewail the loss of his txk ei Cies. The gafT f'linrMi ht ermlrl buv fi.iT:iin ' bet to ! get together ruch an afsortnient of valu ' able fiies seemed to him an impossible ! thing. He had been years collecting ! them, picking up odd ones here and there, until, f ir quality and variety, his book could not be xcelled. It was a Cy storehouse, as it were. Ko matter where he intended fishing, or whether for trout, bass or salmon, he could always find a choice assortment to draw from wuh which to 11 up a supplementary book. Although it was some time ago be yet bewails the loss of that fiybook. II any have been the efforts to get track of it, but all in vain. He baa gone to the expense of sending to the prison in a distant city and endeavoring to pre vail upon the convict to divulge the hiding place of the book, but withott success. A persistent search of the pawnshops and periodical advertising have produced no better results. There were flies in that book for trout and salmon in Irish waters, flies for the salmon and trout of the Scotch lakes and the English streams and flies for the salmon of Norway. The favorites from Maine to California and from one end of Canada to another were collected in that wallet anything and every thing, from tho feather down midget with cobweb gut to the lordly salmon fly, absolutely irresistible to .the lurk ing salmon deep down in the icy pools of the Casrapedia. There were flies in that book on which famous bass, trout and salmon had been hooked, each fly carrying with it memorit.-s of battles fought from ca noes among tho rushing, swirling wa ters.

The Keuiucky moonshiner in real life does not resemble his counterpart, de scribed in novels and impersonated on the stage, iu the least Ho does not wear top boots and a slouch hat As a rule he is too poor to possess the f ormer, and he is more apt to go barefoot or to amble along in a pair of woruout bro gans than to wear top boot. His hat is usually a torn straw "Jimmy" and his clotlies are yellow and faded with ago. Regularly, on day3 when the grand jury meets in Louisville, a dozen or more of the moonshiners are presented for in dictment They pri-seut a woebegone appearance as they pass along the streets in charge of the marshal In their own poor homes in the mountains they are hospitable, but of the stranger ever sus picious. The latter may make his bed iu the one room where the ntire fami ly sleeps, but his request for a taste of liquor brings forth a statement that none is to be had this side of "the store." At the same time a still may be in operation within ten feet of his whereabouts. "The store" represents to the moun taineer all civilization. On winter mornings he will tramp to it through cold and snow to sell a few stiff rabbits and swap yarns not overbrilliant One of the mountaineer's chief sources of income is his honey, and this finds ready sale at "the store." The moon shiner seldom receives money in pay for his wares, but is paid in a bit of bright calico for his wife or a shoulder of ba con. If he can add to this a few pipe- fuls of tobacco, he is well satisfied with the results of his labors. New York Commercial. Practical Test. Dom Pedro, the last empr rcr of Bra til, was a man of a practical turn cf mind, as the following story told of him by a Spanish newspaper well illus trates: He once gare an audience to a young engineer who came to shew him a rew appliance for stcrj-.i:- taiiwjy engines. The empercr was pleased with tbe idea, but wished to put it to a practical test "Day after tomorrow," said be, "have your cngiue ready. Te will have it coupled to my saloon carriage and start When gcing at foil speed, I will give the signal to step, and then we shall see Low your invention works." At the appointed time all was in readiness. The emperor entered his car riage, the young inventor mounted bis engine, and on they sped for several miles as fast as they could go. There came no signal, and tbe engineer began to fear that the emperor had fallen asleep. Suddenly the engine came to a sharp curve around tbe edge cf a cliff, when, to bis horror, on tbe track direct ly abead of them the engineer saw a huge bowlder. He bid just sufficient presence of mind to turn the crank cf hisbrrkeand pull the engine up within a couple of yards of tbe fatal block. Here the emperor put big head out cf bis car window and demanded to know the cause of the sudden stoppage. The engineer pointed to the rot k, and, much to his surprise, Dom Pedro began to laugh. "Push it to on side and go on, "he said calmly. The engineer obeyed, and, kicking the stone, was still further astonished to see it crumble into dust before him. It was nothing more or less than a block of starch which the emperor bad bad made and placed on the rails tbe night before. Harper's Round Table. A Sweet Revenge. It iscluitrid that this story originated in Cleveland, a claim which may very well be true, because Cleveland, and especially (he east end. has more pre cocious childreu to tbe acre than Bos ton could toast of in her palmiest days. This particular precocious infant lives on a pretty cross street in that favored locality Not long ago she was troubled with an annoying and persistent tooth ache. Finally her memma took her to a dentist, and the dentist interviewed tbe trouhleson.e tooth. After cxamiuiiig it he told her that tLe best li'irg to do under the circum stances was to have the tooth extracted, as it contained a very large cavity, and this was the cat of the troubla Bracing herself firmly in the chair, she bade him go ahead and remove the acber. After the operation was over she carefully wrapped the tooth in paper and declared she would take it home. Next day her mamma noticed that she was an unusually good girl, and, upon bxking around, located ber in a wiudow seat industriously poking sugar" into tbe cavity cf tbe extracted tooth. Her mother dtmauded the cause of this strange proceeding. "Why," she said, "I'm poking sugar in tbe old thing just to see it ache." Cleveland Plain Dealer.

His Lenient Way of Treating For Reforma tion Km Dry Criminal. Commissioner of Patents Butterworth is one of the men who believe that ) prosecuting attorney is better engaged in side tracking embryo criminals on ! the road to perdition and getting them : on the road to righteousness than hi ! corralling them for shipment to the ' Tx-nitentiary, where they are thrown into association with professional crook a Several years ago Major utt?rworth was prosecuting attorney .a font hern Ohio and he had the opportunity to test his thetiry regarding the discrimination that should be used in dealing with men newly launched ioto crime. young farmer was arrested for passing counterfeit shinplasters, as the 60 cent note was known, and the case was put 1 in the hands of Major Butterworth. i Tbe young man told his story. He had ' saved several hundred dollars, had left his wife and little children and bad taken a boat down the Mississippi river, purposing to settle on a new farm be was to buy with his hard earned sav inga. On the boat be met an extremely pleasant and well dressed stranger, who learned of his mission and proceeded to make himself agreeable In a moment of extreme confidence the stranger told the young man of a large quantity of money he hud which .was made from plates that had formerly belonged to the government and which the government had long since sought to recover, etc. The young man was struck by that re markable method of acquiring wealth when he had toiled and snved for years to get his few hundred. In a burst of generosity the stranger offered to ex change some of his money for green backs belonging to his new found friend, so that the Litter should have two dollars for every one he possessed. The bait was tempting and the fish bit At the next landing the well dressed man disappeared from the boat and the dupe became alarmed. He became sus picious cf his new money and was afraid to offer it ia payment of his pas sage. He, too, left the boat, determined to go back homo. He started to walk and became footsore. He began shoving the money to buy something to eat, the counterfeit was discovered and the ar rest was mada Major Butterworth took in the situation. "I told that young man," ho said, in relating the story, "that if God had made him a dishonest man he had failed to put a sign on his face. I told him to go Lome to his wife and children as an houesi man. He could scarcely realize that he had escaped the penitentiary. He went home, and a more honest or better citizen I do not know today. That man had not the heart of a criuii nil, but if ho had been sent to the peni tentiary his children would have been disgraced for life and probably ho would have belonged to the criminal class for :ifc" St Louis Republic. Ants With Flock and Brains. To tho intellectuality of ants, which men like Sir John Lubbock have always delighted to point out a new proof has been added by the observations of Will known scientist, Professor Bona telli, who has communicated it to the Venetian institute. He noticed that the ants used as a bridge tbe twig of a tree which touched a bouse they were desir ous of reaching. He accordingly cut off the end of the twig so that it was im possible for them to get across and then watched. After the lapse of half an hour, bow- ever, he found that the procession which he had stopped had reformed itself. He proceeded to investigate the matter, and he found that the little ants had discovered that there was another twig which, when it was blown by the breeze, touched the wall now and then. The army of ants bad formed up in line to this twig, and whenever the breeze blew it against the wall the fore most members of the band took advan tape of the opportunity to get across. Man, with all bis boasted genius, could do nothing more, for not only did the operation require clever tuning, but absolute confidence in making what. under the circumstances, must have been a venturesome leap.
