What He Knew about Fannin.
I had an engagement, not long ago.
to meet a friend at the Battery. I was
on hand half an hour too soon, having
been niit-lcd by a clock which was con
siderably fast. 'ot knowing a better
way to pass the time until my friend
should arrive, I sat down on one of the
settees, threw my head back, inhaled
the briny breezes, and was enjoying a
sort of dolcefar niente circus generally,
when a stranger walked up and took a
seat beside me.
lie wore a soft hat and a pleasant
smile, together with the usual habili
ments. UU coat was buttoned up to his neck
in a manner indicating the fact that he
was either guttering from bronchitis or
had co shirt on.
lie had a sort of Yellow Jack look
about him, and I thought it advisable to
get out of his way.
Before I could do this, he said :
'Lovely weather this, eh f"
"Yes, rather," I replied Indifferently.
"Oh, what weather this is for farm
loft!"
"I know nothing whatever of farm
ing."
Oh, you don't, eh?" he murmured
with a triumphant smile; "well, you
can bet your life I understand it from
beginning to end. Yes, I used to be
the boss on farming. Why, Iueed to
get up Ideas that almost set the world
derail ired."
There was something so marvellous
about the man's manner of making
simple statements, that (although he
looked as though he might have the
yellow fever in his clothes, as I remarked
before) I determined to risk my life to
hear his storr.
You see," he went on, "when I was
quite young, there was considerable
rivalry in the milk business around the
place where I was brought up, and, as
there was quite a crowd of rich city
people spending the summer in the
neighborhood, there was a good chance
to make money on cow-juice.
'Somehow or other there was a re
port circulated that all the milk and
butter purchased in the place was
strongly flavored with wild onions.
Says 1, I'll make my mark now; so I
put my little idea into execution. 1 was
successful, you bet, and nobody could
understand what kind of milk 1 was
giving them.
"You see, I fed the cows on violets,
oleanders, geraniums, mignonette, etc.
in order to get the fragrance of those
flowers into the milk aud butter; and,
you bet, I got all sorts of puffs, "ads,
encomiums, etc., till I couldn't rest,
made money, too.
"You just ought to have tasted one of
those milk punches you talk about
your boss elixirs whoa jiminy !"
Seeing that he was completely carried
away with himself, 1 assured him that
I believed every word he said (which
was a lie), and I should be only too
happy to listen to any other reminis
cences he might have to relate.
This refreshed him so much that
he completely forgot the cows, and
branched off as follows:
"I once thought that I could make an
independent fortune if I could only get
up a little racket to raise fresh vegeta
bles of all kinds in mid-water. I knew
that rich people would pay big prices
for anything of the kind, so 1 set to
work in good earnest to ascertain If I
could bring my hopes into blossom."
His metaphor was amusing.
"You see, I selected a good-sized patch
behind the house, and about two feet
beneath the surface I laid large iron
pipes about a foot apart. A short dis
tance away I had a huge furnace bu:lt
and hired a fireman to keep it in full
blast all the time.
"The steam from this furnace passed
through the pipes and produced the
necessary amount of heat to counteract
the effects of the cold ; and the beauty
of the thing was that it made the things
grow quick. You could see the seeds
burst like percussion caps.
"Why, I used to raise several crops in
one winter. As soon as I'd get the thing
going, the maple trees would commence
to give syrup, and buds would burst all
around. I tell you I just made things
howl, and don't you forget it !"
For the purpose of seeing how far he
would carry the thing, 1 interrupted
him by saying:
"You said the vegetables developed
very rapidly ?"
'Kapidly !' be responded with a con
temptuous chuckle, "well, I think they
did ; why, the carrots and turnips grew
so fast under the influence of that steam,
that after hey made their appearance
above the ground, I used to be com
pelled to lay planks with weights on
them over the rows to keep them from
jumping into the air."
"Kemarkable!" I exclaimed.
"One day," he continued, without
noticing my interruption, "my grand
mother went out to take a look at things,
and through her clumsiness she kicked
a plank off the last turnip In the row,
and before she knew what was the
matter, it flew up and almost knocked
the brains out of her."
I thought it about time to get away
from this amateur Ananias, but he
anticipated me aud said :
"Those were only boyish frivolities;
just wait till I tell you about the time
when I grafted wings Into pigs, aud had
them flying aroimd the house like
pigeons."
"W-h-a t::!" I shouted totally over
come by his utter serenity of counte
nance; for he appeared to be iu dead
earnest.
"Xever mind, then," he went on,
"I'll leave the pigs until the last, and
tell you how 1 found perpetual motion.
You see, old Dobbin died, and we didn't
know what to do, because we were
greatly In need of horse-flesh to drag
stone. We were completely puzzled at
first, but I soon fixed things.
"1 got a piece of loadstone heavier
than the wagon and fixed iton the pole;
then 1 screwed a huge bar of steel on
the axle-tree. I no more than did this
when the loadstone commenced to draw,
aud as it was heavier than the wagon,
and the steel wouldn't give, of course it
hauled it right along.
"The day 1 tried the experiment the
wagon was empty with the exception
of myself. It increased in speed every
moment, and weat so fast that I was
afraid to jump off. Finally it attained
such velocity that I couldn't see the
trees. I don't know how far I went;
or how many persons I ran over, but
after I had been traveling about five
minutes, the old thing ran into a stone
church and almost killed me. 1 was
three hundred miles from home."
At this moment my fiiend arrived,
and I left the agriculturist. He seemed
disconsolate as I bade him adieu ; but I
felt happy at being delivered from the
ordeal of listening to the pig story
which he promised to tell, and only re
gretted that when he collided with the
church be was not summarily mangled
beyond repair.
AGRICULTURE.
Effect of Hakd Water on Akimals.
Horses have an instinctive love for
soft water, and refuse hard water if
they can possibly get the former. Hard
water produces a rougn and staring
coat on horses and renders them liable
to gripes. Pigeons also refuse hard
water if they can obtain access to soft.
Claghorn states that hard water in
Minorca causes diseases to the systems
of certain animals, especially of sheep.
to much are the race-horses Influenced
by the quality of water, that it is not
unfrequent to carry a supply of soft
water to the locality in which the race
is to take place, lest, there being only
hard water, the horses should lose con
dition. Mr. Youatt, in his book called
"The norse," remarking upon the
desirableness of soft water for the horse,
says : "Instinct of experience has made
the horse himself couscious of this, for
be will never drink hard water if he
has access to soft; he will leave the
most transparent w,ater of the well for
a river, although the water may be tur
bid, and evtn for the muddiest pool."
And again in another place he says:
-Hard water drawn fresh from the
well will assuredly make the coat of a
horse unaccustomed to it stare, and will
not unfrequently gripe or further in
jure him."
Plaxt Trees. It is a beautiful cus
tom, in some parts of the old world, to
plant a tree whenever a child is born,
which becomes its especial property.
During the period of infancy the tree is
cared for most assiduously by ' the
parents and relatives of the child. Its
fruit Is sold and the proceeds invested
for the child's benefit. At the proper
age the child assumes charge, and the
tree receives the most careful attention,
as there is some superstition connecting
the welfare of the tree with the happi
ness and prosperity of IU owner. A
custom of this character would be a
blessing to any country, and especially
to ours, which eontains within its
widely extended borders, soil, climate
and every other condition favorable to
the growth of every kind of fruit, not
strictly tropical. We should be fruit
eaters instead of fruit consumers, as we
now are. Inhabitants of the extreme
Southern states especially should devote
considerable attention to this subject
lar more than they now do. it is a very
appropriate celebration to plant a fruit
tree. Any family inaugurating such an
observance will soon have quite an
orchard with no apparent labor. The
associations which will necessarily at
tach to each individual tree will be a
constant enjoyment or a pleasant
memory.
Bermuda grass bears no seed in our
climate, but is propagated from the
root. This is easily done by planting it
in rows two feet apart in the onll, or 1
have known roots and sod after passing
through straw-cutters to be sown
broadcast on well-plowed land and then
harrowed in. If the land is very loose,
the harrow should be followed by a
roller. Stock should be kept off it until
the grass is well rooted and spreads
over the ground. Xo further care will
be necessary, as the grass, when well
rooted, will take caraot itself ; of course
a good culturing and a good coat of
manure every two or three years will
help it, but the droppings of the stock
that feed upon it will do much to keep
it :n good heart. btocW of every kind
are very fond of it, and if you want
good stock aud plenty of meat and but'
ter, beef and mutton, vou should have a
Bermuda grass pasture.
Choosing a Fcythe. The disposition
of steel In a scythe is best understood
bv seeing one which has been broken
across the blade. Sometimes tools of
this class are steeled naked," so that
all the steel shows Itself at once on the
top eide of the blade, but this plan is
not to be recommended. It is better to
have iron on both sides of the steel
which just shows itself along the edge
and runs in toward the back to stifleu
the blade and to form a constant cutting
edge as the tool wears away. Aow. in
buying a tool, bear in mind that the
most steel may show In the one steeled
naked, because all of it is in sight, but
in the other case there would be a great
deal more steel useful for carrying an
edge, although it would show less be
cause the bulk of it would be hidden be
tween the iron. It will not do, there
fore, to be deceived by appearances,
The best plan is to depend upon a good
maker tor steel aud suuicieut of it.

Oiling The Hinge,
The old mail was oiling the hinges of
the stove door, and carelessly singing
one of Beethoven's best, when a middle-
aged woman entered the station aud be
gan :
"Mr. Joy, are you a good man?"
"Wall, tolerable tolerable," he re
plied. "I never dropped a bad nickel
into the street car box, and I don't go
fishing on Sunday."
"Mr. Joy, I am canvassing for money
to buy Bibles, and so forth, for the Af
rican heathen," she continued, as she
exhibited a pass-book.
"Are, eh I Does he seem to want a
Bible?"
"He does. He sits on the sands of his
native shore and looks longingly this
way."
"Does, eh? Sitting right there this
morning, I suppose?"
"He is. How much will you sub
scribe, Mr. Joy?"
"Madam, I've got to lift a mortgage
before noon to-day, and "
"You will certainly give something,'
she interrupted.
"And I've got to meet fire and life
insurance, pew rents, taxes, and"
"Put down what your noble heart
dictates," she said, as she handed him
the book.
He reflected for a moment and then
asked :
"Will five dollars convert a heathen
a great big, two-fisted heathen, with
a stiff knee?"
"I I think so."
He figured with a pencil on the bot
tom of a chair, and said :
"Five dollars into two hundred
pounds of heathen is forty pounds for
dollar. That is, less see um ten
pounds for twenty-five cents, and none
to carry. Divide the dividend by the
divisor, cut off the cube root, carry
nothing, and, madam, you take this
quarter and convert ten pounds of hea
then for me. That's all I can span
no use talking ten pounds here comes
his Honor."
She went away puzzled and amazed,
at his figures, and Bijah looked after
her and mused :
"I ought to have taken a m ltgage on
my share of that heathen, but I'm just
that careless in business aflairs."
It is better to do right than to do
ong if you hay the time.
SCIENTIFIC.
Alloys. The alchemists divided the
metals into "noble" (gold, silver and
others which do not readily tarnish on
exposure to air), and "base," When a
base metal was mixed with a noble one,
the latter was said to be "alloyed," or
alloyed in the ratio which the former
bore to the noble. The term "allov"
has been extended In signification so as
to include all mixture of metals. At a
temperature which reduces them to a
fluid condition most metals will dissolve
any other with which they are brougnt
in contact, either quickly or slowly.
Those which do not precipitate the dis
solved particles, but hold them In solu
tion till they cool and harden, form
mixtures, many of which are almost
new metals, and subserve a vast variety
of purposes. Among those well known
are Dell-metals, (copper and tin;, bronze
(copper, tin and zinc), brass (copper
anS sine), German silver (copper, zinc,
nickel and iron), powder (lead and tin.
etc.), type metal (lead and antimony,
yellow sheating metal (copper and
zinc,) etc. Gold and silver are alloyed
with copper, in proportions according
to the uses for they are designed. Some
alloys can be made to resemble gold
and silver, even in weight, so closely
to oner facilities for counterfeiting.
Alloys commonly melt at temperatures
between those at which their constituent
metals do so. Some serve to solder
other metal by their melting surfaces
and then Hardening In to a compact mass,
All nations alloy their gold and silver
coin, to make it hard and durable. The

rejected, because the portions first
examined contained more than the stipu

often more brittle than pure metals, are
usually better able to resist a steady

Discovers of a Lost Art. A method of
reproducing the famous because rare,
fire gilded glass of the Egyptians has
been recently patented, and from the
results attaiued,it would appear that
the inventor, if he has not discovered
the ancient process, has devised an ex
cellent substitute. Fire-gilded glass is
glass into which gold Is so worked that
many hundreds of years have failed to
enect any change, or to tarnish the gold.
the trustees ol the British Museum
were so pleased with the result of the
modern process that they accepted from
the inventor, M. D'Uussey. specimens
of his recovery of a lost aru The pro
cess consists in introducing gold leaf or
platinum into the body of the glass, and
amalgamating the precious metal with
the glass by means of a blow-pipe, an
operation which also serves to produce
a perfectly indestructible covering to
the metal and the designs traced. The
product so much resembles the ancient
work that the method is likely to find a
tolerably wide field of usefulness or.
at least, of profit to its inventor.
American Horses in England. The ex
portation of horses from this country to
England, for use on street-railways,
began two years ago, and already over
,000 of the Canadian and Morgan
breeds have been shipped from N. i .
and from Quebec. '1 he English cart
horse is too heavy aud slow for tramway
service, and as English breeders have
given their attention almost exclusively
to cart horses ai.d blooded saddle and
coach horses, they could furnish no
animals suitable for the new want.
l'he supply of light-built and enduring
horses had been drawn chief! v from
Ireland, but this source is almost ex
hausted. The American horses were at
first used only on street railways, but
they are now becoming favorites for
family use. The Anglo-Kussiau com
plications have largely iucreased the
demand this year, and it is expected
mat the exportation will amount to
many thousands more than ever before.
In a recent lecture in London on the
great ice age, Professor A. C. Ramsay,
F. K. S.. Director-Genei al of the Geo
logical Survey of the United Kiugdom,
claimed a theory concerning the origin
of lakes as peculiarly his own. This
theory is that all lake basins owe their
origin to the action of ice; that is to say
tney nave been scooped out of the sur
face of the earth by glaciers. He would
not say that absolutely no lakes were
otherwise originated; but he pointed
out that such bodies of water were rare
in localities where there were no moun
tain masses which could have given rise
to glacier.

English Celebrities.
Disraeli is one of the best dressers in
England ; be has on the average a plug
hat a month, his trousers are usually of
a light lavender, aud bis coats perfec
tion in fit. His valet is a scrupulous
about the arrangement of his curls,
which are numbered ; in gorgeous dres
sing gowns his wardrobe is not to be
surpassed ; one of them is worth $3,000.
He walks with his eyes cast on the
ground, and takes no heed of little raga
muffins who cry, "There goes Dizzy."
The earl of Derby is in looks not unlike
the late Tom Say res. His suspenders
are never fixed to the proper height,
consequently there is a piece of the bot
tom of his trowser8 gone, owing to their
dragging. He is a sloven ; very courte
ous in manner, and when he opens his
thickset mouth there issue masterpieces
of English composition. His income is
about $2,000,000 per annum. He suc
ceeded, after many years, in marrying
his first love ; they are both near the
fifties. The marquis of Lome is losing
all his good looks, he must weigh 200
pounds. He seems to spend his exis
tence at auctioneers' sales, and on one
occasion was seen to be turning over
baby linen, but for what reason to this
day cannot be explained. The Princess
Louise is a universal favorite, and,
unlike her husband, wears well. The
Earl of Enniskillen is stone blind, and
is the tallest man inthe House of Lords,
measuring six feet seven inches. The
present Duke of Wellington, son of the
Iron Duke, sends for a piece of choloe
black satin and cuts out bis own socks,
after which they are stitched. They
are on the model worn by his father.
He wears two a year. Tennyson has
never been known to crown his head
with a stove-pipe hat. His Inverness
cap after twenty years' wear, has as
sumed its original color; his hair Is in a
matted condition, and his hands are not
always clean. Tom Hnghes Is to be
found in his shirt sleeves; It is with
difficulty he can be indueed to keep bis
coat on in the House of Commons, of
which be is a member. Gladstone is a
connoisseur of old ivory earrings. He

Pea Soup. Use half a pint or seven
ounces of dried peas, for every two
quarts of soup you wast. Put them iu
tiiree quarts of cold water after washing
them well ; bring them slowly to a boll ;
add a bone or bit of ham, if you have it
to spare, one turnip, and one carrot
peeled, one onion stuck with three
cloves, and simmer three hours, stirring
occasionally to prevent burning; then
pass the soup through a sieve with the
aid of a potato masher, and If It shows
any sign of settling, stir into it one
tablespoonful each of butter and flour
(mixed together dry), this will prevent
settling; meantime fry some dice of
stale bread, about two slices cut half an
inch square, in hot fat, drain them on a
sieve, and put them in the bottom of
the soup tureen in which the pea soup
is served ; or cut some bits of very hard
stale bread or dry toast, to use instead
of the fried bread. By the time the
soup Is done. It will have boiled down
to two quarts, and will be very thick
and good.
Chickex with Rice. Truss a fowl,
as for boiling, putting a couple of onions
Inside it, lard it with bacon, and put it
to braise in a stew pan, with slices of
bacon, carrot, onion, sweet neros, spices,
pepper and salt to taste; moisten with
some good stock, and during the process
of cook in? frequently baste the breast
of the fowl with the liquor. Pick and
wash quite clean half a pound or rice,
put it to boil in plenty of salted water;
when the grains begin to burst drain
off the water, cover the rice with a
damp cloth and let it remain by the side
of the fire till quite dry. Take equal
parts of the liquor in which the fowl is
braising, and tomato sauce, and work
them into the rice with grated cheese,
until you get it to a proper consistency,
then make a border with it round the
dish, lay the fowl in the middle with a
Utile of the gravy under it, hold a sala
mander over the breast to give the lard
ing a nice color, and serve.
The following is a good recipe for
Scotch kail : Take one and a half gallons
of cold water, two teacupfuls of barley,
and about 2 lbs. dough; put them iu a
saucepan and let them boil an hour and
a half ; then take a few good sized leeks,
a stock of greeus and one of savoys, a
Swedish turnip, aud a grated carrot,
clean washed aud cut down, aud a few
sprigs of parsley ; let them boil another
hour; then three good sized potatoes,
and let them boil another half hour,
taking care the whole time not to let
them off the boil, and only let them boll
gently to preserve the flavor of the
broth. Add salt Immediately after the
vegetables, and a little pepper, and you
will have a first-rate potful of broth or
Scotch kail, as they are called ; and we
do believe in the old Scotch proverb.
"There Is nothing like kail for a family."

Royal Vlnltora,
The United States has been frequent
ly honored with Royal visitors. Wil
liam IV., then a Midshipman on one of
Admiral Digby's vessels, came over in
1782; so later, did his brother, the Duke
of Kent, Queen Victoria's father, who
commanded the garrison in Canada.
Louis Phillippe, with his brothers, the
Duke de Moutpensier and Count de
Beaujolais, spent the four years between
1706 aud ISOOin the United States and
Cuba. In 1803, Jerome Bonaparte,
afterwards King of Westphalia, came
to America, where he married Miss Pat
terson of Baltimore. After Waterloo,
the country was visited by another
brother of the great Emperor, Joseph
Bonaparte, ex King of Xaples and
Spain, who settled down at Borden
town, X. J., and lived for many years
in opulent retirement Still another
Bonaparte visited the United States
after Napoleon's overthrow Prince
Luclen, Prince of Caniuo, who was a
hard student,especially of Ornithology,
and helped Wilson to bring out his
great book. The two sous of Mu rat,
King of Xaples, settled here after their
father's execution Napoleon, who
married a grand-niece of Washington,
and died in Tallahassee, and Lucien,
who died only a short time ago. Louis
Xapoleou lauded at Xorfolk, Va., in
March, 1837, and spent some time in
Xew York, whence he sailed to see his
dying mother. In 1&12, the Prince de
Joinville came to this country ; he re
turned in 1861 with his son, the Duke
de Penthievre, and his nephew, the
Count de Paris and Dnke de Chartres,
In September, 1860, the Prince of Wales,
appeared in our midst as Baron Ren
frew ; shortly afterwards came Prince
Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde,
ictor Lramanuers daughter. Queen
Emma of the Sandwich Islands, visited
the United States in 1366; in '70 Prince
Arthur of England, now Connaught,
In 1871 occurred the memorable visit of
the Grand Duke Alexis; he returned
again in 1877 with his younger brother,

A BosTO! Giri Not many days
since, in a Western city, a young lady
of ten Summers was engaged in water
ing the plants on the lawn. A lady
stopped at the garden gate, and the
following dialogue occurred :
"Sissy, is Mrs. W at home?"
"Did you address me, madam?"
(severely).
"Yes; IaskedUMrs.W at home."
"Xo, madam. Mrs. W is my
aunt, and Mrs. W is not at home."
Will you tell her Mrs. M called ?"
Certainly, madam" (graciously).
"You won't forget the name?"
"Certainly not, madam I am not
mncl acquainted here, but I shall re
member the name : I am a Boston girl."
And she serenely continued to water
the flowers.
A feiexd of mine went, a few days
back, to have a tooth stopped. The
dentist advised him that he had better
have the tooth taken out, and assured
him that he would feel no pain if he
took laughing gas. "But what is the
effect of the gas?" asked my friend.
"It simolv makes you totally lnseni
ble," remarked the dentist; "you don't
knowauytblng that takes place." Jtiy
friend submitted ; but just previous to
the gas being administered he put his
hand in his pocket and pulled out his

What Voire Indicate.
There are light, quick, surface voices
that involuntarily seem to utter the
slang "I won't do to tie to." The man's
words may assure you of his strength
of purpose and reliability, yet his tone
contradicts his speech.
Then there are low, deep, strong
voices, where the words seem ground
out, as if the man owed humanity a
;rmlge, and meant to pay it some day.
That man's opponents may well tremble,
and his Irieuds may trust his strength
of purpoe and ability to act.
Therti is the course, boisterous, dic
tatorial tone, invariably adopted by vul
gar persons, who have not sufficient
cultivation to understand their own
insignificance.
There is the incredulous tone that is
full of a covert sneer, or a secret "you-
can't-dupe-ine-sir" intonation.
Then there is the whining, beseech
ing voice, that says "sycophant" as
plainly as if it uttered the word. It
cajoles aud flatters you ; its words say :
"I Ioveyou ; I admire you ;you are every
thing that you should be."
Then there is the tender, musical,
compassionate voice, that sometimes
goes with sharp features (as they indi
cate merely intensity of feeling) and
sometimes with blunt features, but al
ways with genuine benevolence.
If you are full of affectation and pre
tence, your voice proclaims it.
If you are full of honesty, strength
and purpose, your voice proclaims it.
If you are cold and calm and firm
and consistent, or fickle and foolish and
deceptive, your voice will be equally
truth-telling.
You can not change your voice from
a natural to an unnatural tone without
its being known that you are doing

Commercial Trnveltne; la rfc
A month or two ago Mr. Alexander
Bister was out In Arkansas, traveling
as a salesman. One morning, as he
emerged from the door of his hotel, be
heard the report of a pistol and a shot
whistled by his ear. lie looked around
and saw a man aiming at him with a
revolver, lie turned to fly just as an
other shot cut through his hat, but as
he did so a second man hit him upon
the shoulder with his fist and nearly
knocked him down. A moment later
Mr. Bister clenched with his new ad
versary, and a rough and tumble fight
began. The stranger removed a hand
ful or two of Mr. Bister's hair; then he
kicked his left leg three times with vio
lence; then he put bis elbow against
Mr. Bister's third rib and scroughed it
in with intense force.
Bister resisted, but as the man who
shot at him would hit him on the head
with the butt of his revolver, whenever
Bister happened to get on top, he had
not really a first-rate chance. Pretty
soon the combatants rolled over in the
gutter, with Mr. Bister underneath,
lying in the mud. While be reclined
there, his antagonist took bold of air
Bister's nose with his teeth, andchewed
it as if noses were his favorije diet and
he were seriously hungry. Whn he
let go the other mau tapped Mr. Bister's
skull a few times with his pistol, anil
than the two picked up their victim
and soused hi in in thecanal,from which
they fished him a few moments later,
by inserting a boat-hook in the back of
his coat. As they dragged him out,
nearly dead, the man with the pistol
picked up Bister's hat, and after study
ing intently the name pasted upon the
inside of the crown, he said :
"Why, see here, Harry, there' some
mistake. I'm afraid we've got the
wrong man."
"I say, you sir, is your name Alexan
der Bister?"
Mr. Bister gasped out that it was.
"Well, it's too bad," said the man.
"Xow, do you know, I mistook you for
Judge McGath, of Little Rock, who
cheated us in a land claim."
"Do I look like him?" asked Bister,
in a faint voice.
"You're as much alike as twins. It's
a thundering shame. I hope you'll ac
cept my apology for treating you so im
politely." "It occurred to me that It was rather
impolite," whispered Bister; "but
don't mention it How's your own
health, and your family's?"
"And what makes it worse is that
you're a stranger," returned the man.
"I'm afraid you'll gather from what
has occurred that we are wanting in
affability out here."
"The thought might, perhaps, have
entered my mind after I had had time
for reflection," said Bister ; "because in
the east, where I live, it is a very rare
circumstance that a person indicates
his affability by biting off the human
nose. But I'm a forgiving man ; so
we'll let it drop. Beautiful weather
we are having now !"
"I'm mortified about that nose," said
the man. "But if you'll come up to
drug store a minute, 1 think I can make
it hold together with sticking plaster."
"Is it much hurt?" asked Bister,
feeling it tenderly.
"It's a perfect nasal ruin," said the
man. Harry, 1 think you chewed him
a little too hard. Why didn't you bite
him somewhere else?"
"Perhaps you'd like to take another
bite now," said Btster;"you may gnaw
away at the calf of my leg if you think
it would make you feel better. The
nose is of no consequence. Perhaps it
is a good thing to have it changed a
little, for then I won't look so much
like Judge McGath. This seems to be
a fine farming country. How are the
crops?"
"You appear to be a perfect gentle
man," said the Iran. "If you come up
to our hotel I'll introduce you to some
of our friends."
"Certainly," said Bister; "I'll go
right up if you'll get me a pair of
crutches and a sling for my arm. I'd
be glad to know them. Maybe they'd
be glad to tire four or five shots into me
or hold me under a pump? I want to
oblige everybody. Do you often have
these little laughable incidents in your
town?"
"Most every day, in some shape or
other. There are not eight whole noses
iu the place except the womeu's."
"How charming! When the news
spread I should think the tide of emi
gration would flow right In. You say
you don't care to bite me again ?"
"O no!"
"Don't want to empty the other bar
rels of your revolver into my back?"
"No; I think not."
"Maybe you'd like to kick me or roll
me in the gutter? Xo, well just toss
me in the canal a couple of times again
as a kind of an expression of esteem.'
"It's hardly worth while."
"And you think you don't care to
pound me with a brick or anything for
five or ten minutes?"
"I rather think not."
"Well, then," said Bister, "I think
I'll crawl up home and fix up a little.
Good-bye ! If you ever come ou East
stop and see me. Come and stay a
week and bring your relations. Good
bye!" And Bister went to the hotel, packed
up and fled in the first train. He wrote
home that the Arkansas trade would
probably be opened more successfully
by an iron-clad man and a bull dog
than a salesman who was not fond of
war.
A Terrible Fate.
In India lepers are occasionally
buried alive. When a leper is past all
hope of living more than a few days or
weeks, his nearest relations arrange,
with his approval, for his Immediate
interment. Self-destruction by burial
is called lamaah, and is regarded as so
highly meritorous that the disease Is
sure to die out in the fami'y of the vic
tim. So lately as 1875 a leper named
Oomah, living and lingering at Serohi,
entreated his wife to put an end to his
misery. A bunnia, or tradesman, was
accordingly engaged to make the neces
sary arrangements, which simply con
sisted in hiring a couple of laborers to
dig a hole, into which they thrust
Oomah, he consenting to his own death.
The Durbar, coerced by the British Gov
eminent, at last took cognizance of this
incident, and fined the widow one hun
dred rupees. The bunnla was sentenced
to three years imprisonment, and the
grave-diggers each to two years; but it
is very unlikely that they will undergo
half that punishment..
A curat California achoolma'am is
said to be able to "sing hymns like a
ten-octave angel."
