'MISSISSIPPI "roustabouts. Tbej- Are Trvclrr, omnda, Autft rmtKt Men of I.rlnure. The Mack stoamlioat roustabout of the Mississippi is ns much part and parcel of tlio river as is the water aud quite as necessary. There is an im pression that the roustabout is a. mueh abused individual, an inclination to class him alon;,' with the slavelike cir cus haud. This is wholly wronp. The roustabout is traveler, nomad, auto crat, m:r.i of leisure. He Is little seen on the upper river, but hi St. Louis, Memphis and Orleans there are enough of him to man live times as many boats ns touch at those polls. Yet lower liver packets have trouble In shipping lull crews of the blacks. They lire compelled to ship for each trip sep arately, because it does not please the roust er to take more than one trip in a month. The balance of the time he plays gentleman of atlluence. On the Memphis levee I listened to a p'oup of the brawny fellows as they lolled with in the shade of a freight pile.

In summer the roust crs are fairly willini; to work, though they exercise line discrimination in the matter of boats, but in the fall, when steamers are plentiful and labor scarce, they become exceeding coy. They do not pit her around the hirins mate then. He has to come to them. They regard coldly the average monthly waire, $40.

He works day anil uiiilit, a sort of work no white man could stand for even twelve hours. He sleeps at odd minutes between landings sprawled on deck or cotton bale. He wears shirt usually trousers and shoes and finds them burdensome, lie lays aside his powers of sii'bt and rcasonin;;', retains only cars and muscles and becomes a powerful machine, answering to the Klishtest inclination of a mate's will.

Different MrlliiiiH For the Fall lire Mil mid 11 ili.v A-imal. The colder the climate the finer the fur. says tli. anther t.f "The (Jreatest Eur Company of the World" In Trunk Leslie's Magazine, and the ditlieulties of obtaining the rare furs are many. Ermine is at its best when the cold is most intense, the tawuy weasel coat turning from fawn to yellow, from yel low to cream and then to snow white, according to the latitude aud the pen son. Eox. lynx, marten, otter and bear the trapper can take with steel traps of a size varying with the game or even with th. clumsy but cfneient deadfall, but the ermine, the fur of which Is n easily damaged as the finest gauze, must be handled differently. The hunter going the rounds of his traps has noted curious tiny tracks like the dots and dashes of the telegraphic alphabet. Here are little prints slur ring Into one another in a dash; there a dead stop, where the quick eared stoat has paused, with beady eyes alert, for snowbird or rabbit; here, again, a clear blank on tliesnow. where the crafty little forager has dived below the light surface and wriggled forward like a snake, to dart up with a plunge of his fangs into the heart blood of the un wary snow bunting. Eroin the length of the leaps the trap per judges the age of the ermine. The full grown ermine has hair too coarse to be damaged by a snare. If. the re fore, the tracks Pulicate a full .own animal, the trapper suspends the noose of a looped twine or wire across the runway from n bent twig, which, when released, springs upward with a jerk that lifts the ermine off the ground and strangles it. If the tracks are like the prints of a baby's lingers, dose and small, the trapper hop-, s to capture a licit lit for a throne cloak, l'erfect fur would bo in;. in d by the twine snare, so the trap p r devises as cunning a death for the (inline as the ermine devises when it darts up through the snow and fixes its speaiiike teeth In the throat of a rabbit. First he smears his hunting knife with grease; then he lays It across the track. The little ermine comes trotting in dots and dashes and gallops and dives to the knife. The knife is frosted like Ice. Ice the ermine has licked, so he licks the knife. Hut, alas, for the resemblance between ice and steel! Ice turns to water under the warm tongue; steel turns to tire that blisters and holds the foolish little stoat by his Inquisitive tongue, a hopeless prisoner, until the trapper comes. A l-i::lnt Old ( nntolil. A London shop assistant says: "It Is my duty every night to go out to the rear of the premises nnd fire off au old Uinllock pistol. This curious custom dates back to the middle of the eight eenth century. Our shop, now In a crowded north London district, was in those old days practically In the coun try, and It was the custom of the then prcprietor. who was a timid, eccentric man, to lire a pistol off every night to let the would be burglar know he was armed and prepared for him. Think ing his custom such a good one, seeing that his shop was never attempted, he stated in his will that the custom should be continued, which has always been carried nut, although, of course, we do it now merely to keep up a quaint old custom." Ilia AtTfnl CnrlonMr. A woman with her little son, a child of four years of age, inquired of n man standing in one of our railroad stations, "Can you tell me what time the next train leaves for Scrnnton?" "At t-t-wenty ln-m-lnutes p-p-pnst f-four." About live minutes later she again put the same question to the same man, nnd he repeated the same answer in the same stuttering way. When she approached him for the third time with the same query, he said to her: "W-why do y-y-you a-a-ask me s-s-so m-m-many t-t-tlmcs? I-I a-a-al-ready t-t-told you t-t-twioe."

Fantastic Woodr :; Olijecta That Fannioned la the Orient, The fantastic wooden objiK-ts which come from the far ast and are known as tea root carvings have long been the basis of a pro p io.:s industry in the populous city of Fuchau. Strictly speaking, the name is a misnomer. Some of the carvings are made from old tea roots and tea trunks, but the vast majority, nine-tenths at least, are made from the soots and trunks of hard weed tr; es. The carv'-'- s are almost invariably made in t jy ::s, a pedestal and one or more I li, t:res fitted to the lat ter by pvf.s and holes. The former is made from a root and the latter from a trunk. The roots are selected with con siderable care. They must be compara tively free from dry rot decay and worm holes and must iosscss a rude symmetry. They are cleaned, scrub bed and scraped nnd sawed to a! out the desired size; then the artist with chisel, gouge, knife and pinchers re moves rootlets nnd roots until the fig ure Is completed. The simplest design Is a throe legged pedestal, of which the base Is a rough cylinder of wens and knobs. Any num ber of legs may be used. A curious spivlinon seen by the writer In the (irand hotel, Yokohama, has fifty legs, while the IhkI.v has been so treated as to suggest a horny cmtiped. A second type of pedestal Is the mushroom. A third tyiM is an animal foiiu. such iib the buffalo, tiger, unicorn, elephant or dragon. Nearly always the chisel Is guided by humor or satire. If it be a saint who is depleted, the look of piety or suffer ing Is replaced by a leer or drunken grimace; if It be a warrior, every limb nnd muscle is molded so ns to suggest decrepitude or a desire to run away.

They Are Almoat Count lens and Are I ed on Shrine. The wat 't falls of Japan are almost countless. There is one at every turn, and where there was not one iu the beginning the .Inps have made one, for It is their passion. Every little garden has a fall or two. and It would not be considered a garden at all without it. There are many very beautiful ones In various parts of the country, and they ere all of tiiem shrines visited by thousands of pilgrims every year. They do not pray to them ns to a statue of Buddha, but they first pass up a little paper prayer on a convenient rock and then sit down In rapt attention and gaze at the falling water for bonis, tak ing an occasional cup of ten at a little teahouse which always stands close at hand. The Japs are great at making pil grimages anyway. When a man has reached the age of forty-live, he is sup posed to hnve raised a family which will In the future take care of him. About the first thing he does on retir ing Is to start on a series of pilgrimages. Sometimes he Joins a band of fellow pilgrims, or, if comparatively wealthy, lie sometimes takes his wife and a mi nor child and makes the pilgrimages by himself. These pilgrim bauds can al ways be seen moving about the coun try. They carry little banners with the name of their city and district marked on them, and when they have received good entertainment at a teahouse or hotel they hang one of their banners up In u conspicuous place as a testimonial. Often a band of pilgrims will travel from one end of the country to the oth er, visiting every temple and waterfall in the land. . I.lM lh Entertainments. In the palmy days of the French monarchy sumptuous entertainments of royalty were not uncommon. To entertain a queen for a week theComte d'Artois rebuilt, rearranged and refur nished his castle from threshold to tur ret, employing )hk workmen day and night. The Marshal de Souhise re ceived Louis XV. ns his guest for a day and night at a cost of 80,000. "I hear," said his majesty to the marshal, who owed millions, "that you are In debt."

" One of Horace Grecier'a Ordera TIM Helped Hta Sewa Kdltor. As un editor Horace Greeley had be come weary of the coustant repetition of the word "the" In opening sentences. One issue of his paper in particular ex asperated hlin. Almost every Item had Its opening paragraph begin with "the." This lack of Judgment on the part of his writers In the choice of words received attention. Greeley wrote a note. This notice he requested to be posted iu the editorial room and caused copies of it to be sent to correspond ents. The order read: "Under no circumstances must the word 'the' be used In the opening or subsequent paragraphs of a news ar ticle. Iu sentences within a paragraph It will be tolerated If used with mod eration. If you cannot write a para graph without 'the' to open It, omit" One day shortly after the Issuance of his new rule Greeley entered the ed itorial room In a fury. "How Is it that we have nothing In today's paper regarding Holland's at titude toward the policy of the north?" he asked of his editor who had charge of the foreign news. Tills editor was aware that he had omitted an important news Item which at the time he considered as unimpor tant. Hut he was resourceful. "Your rules and orders are positive, Mr. Greeley, are they not?" asked thet editor. "Certainly!" shouted the famous scribbler. "Then tell me how I could have used 'The Hague' for the date line In the Holland dispatch without violating your positive order." Mr. Greeley was beaten, but he mut tered, "If you fellows could use judg ment, there would be uo need for rules." PONIES AND COBS. How the UlHtluetlona Between the Two Are Defined. A correspondent writes, says the r.admlntou Magazine, to ask me what a "pony" is not the pony of the bet ting ring; lie refers to the animal. The dictionaries which he has consulted tell him no more than that "a pony" is "a little horse," and he wants to know where the pony ends ami the horse begins. The term is, of course, very loosely used. At Newmarket, where one might expect accurate definitions, the trainers seem to call all sorts of animals ponies. "I will send round your pony at 8 o'clock," Is a familiar phrase to me, and in two cases it has always portended the arrival of an ani mal of quite 14.2. I have searched for authorities for some time past and only accidentally came upon one the other day. A pony, I find it stated, is strictly applicable to an animal under 13 hands. Above 13 and up to 13.3 the creature should be known ns a gallo way, and over 13.3 It becomes a horse. This, however, Is not the modern Inter pretation, though when the phraseology was altered I do uot know. According to the Iluiiingham rules of polo, "the height of ponies shall not exceed li hands 2 inches," aud such an animal, according to my old time authority, would be quite a full sized horse. One cannot, of course, go against the Hur lingham nomenclature, but I should be inclined to say that In general par lance anything under 11 hands is a pony. I am glad my correspondent did not ask for an exact definition of a "colt," for I could do no better than suggest that a thickset pony from about 13.3 to 14.2 would come under the head. The term "cobby," at any rate, has a significance of Its own. The Columbine. There are some good reasons adduced by those who favor the claims of the columbine as a national flower. The colors of the wild varieties are red, white and blue. The flower Is purely American, quite widespread, hardy, graceful, beautiful. The petals are perfect "liberty caps;" reversed they are "horns of plenty." Columbine comes from the Latin eolumba, a dove; the peaceful derivation of the word accords well with our national policy; the name also recalls Columbus, the great navigator and discoverer. The (lower also lends Itself well to a con ventional architectural decoration. Different Investment In Mind. Julius Would you like to live your life over again?

Thompson's Barosina cures by gently stimulating the liver and kidneys to excrete from the system all particles of matter that are poisonous, not only to them, but also to the stomach, heart, blood and other organs of the body. Barosma cures are permanent. When the liver is torpid or inactive the whole system must suffer, undergoing a process of slow poisoning ; the stomach is filled with carbonic acid gas, inflaming the mucous membrane or coating of the stomach, causing heartburn, palpitation, indigestion, bitter taste on rising, a dull heavy sluggish feeling, a desire to sleep, fullness and dizzy-headedness. Thomp son's Barosma is an excellent stomach tonic, assimilating with the food, neutralizing the acids and carrying the bile from the liver. If the bowels are costive or in liver trouble, Thompson's Dandelion and Mandrake Pills should be used with the Barosma. They are purely vegetable, and will not gripe.
