Did you ever see anybody tarred and thered?" asked a red bearded man in next chair. "No? Well, let me as e you it'B a pretty serious thing. I / one case, and I'll never forget it in life. It was in the fall of 1887," he itinued in response to a general re •st for the story, "and I was running bath house at Pittsburg. One rning a big, athletic man of about 35 Iked in and ordered a hot bath. A lit later he rang the bell and sent for me, 1 when I entered the room I was so onished I nearly toppled over. From feet to his neck he looked like a half ked black chicken. As it afterward ned out he had been waylaid by a par of men at a place called Sheldon, right the heart of the district where the 1 strike is now in progress, and treated a coat of tar and feathers.

It was toward the wane of the treacle moon and the first week in which she was trying to do the housework on account of that which comes sooner or later in all homes—the sudden leaving of the serv ant. The breakfast was late and not quite up to the recipes furnished by his maternal ancestor. In an unguarded mo ment the young wife remarked to her husband that he had got up on the wrong side of the bed. It was a very old way of calling him down. He had heard it many a time when his father had neglected to hand out a bouquet because there was more flour than codfish in the favorite morning dish. For a moment the young husband looked at the dregs which floated on top of his coffee, and then the boast that he had made to his mother that no woman should e»er boss him returned. And he spoke as follows—to wit: "It is quite likely that the chestnut, which you have flung with a woman's uncertainty, is truer than you are willing to confess. Since you have been making the beds for the past week 1 have no ticed that the section of the l>. d which you call the wrong side, the same being that upon which I am supposed to wrap what little drapery I get at night, has been unmade. The mattress hangs down, and the coverlets are as gnarled as the vine under which, in a thoughtless mo ment, I offered you my hand, my name, my fortune. It is a wrong side, as you have denominated it, and in getting out of it, after hanging to it all night, I con fess that some of the angelic nature which I inherited from the only perfect woman I ever knew has taken flight." The glassware on the sideboard danced, and the dear old motto, "God Bless Our Home," worked by a grandmother of the good old days, whose fingers have long been at rest, fell from its hanging. The moral of this, the first snapping of the chords which bound two loving hearts, is that every young wife should use a new club on her husband. P. S.—The old wife might do likewise to her great comfort if she would. "You may not be conscious of it," re marked another wife whose husband had not bestowed upon the jelly which her mother had sent, C. O. D., as many compliments as he formerly putin his letters before they were yoked, "but 1 must say you are becoming a crank." He looked at bis watch and saw that he had 40 minutes to make the nest ex press. Replacing the chronometer, a present from his father on his wedding day, he fixed up the following choice bit of language: "A crank! I suppose you think you have fired the fatal arrow. But you haven't. You have simply thrown a doughnut dipped in honey. You have admitted that I am bright, happy: that I am a scintillation; that I am a bonmot; that I am a jeu d'esprit; that 1 am smart, jocular, jocose, epigrammatic, sparkling, full of point, etc., ad infinitum. My compliments, madam." Then he was gone. Later she was looking over his library. She turned to the word in one of his books. As she looked over the list of synonyms she bit her lip. Then she looked at the fly leaf and found this in scription, in her own handwriting: "This thesaurus presented to my hus band on the first anniversary of our mar riage." The point of this is.

An old photographer who for ranny years made triumphal tours of the coun try with his tintype studio on wheels tells in Lippincott's Magazine of an amusing development due to chemicals more sub tle than any in use in his darkroom. One Fourth of July a young farmer and his sweetheart came to him to have some tintypes taken together. He posed them on a flight of stairs, with a balus trade between them. When he came from his darkroom after developing the plate, the young fellow stepped forward and said: "S-a-y, couldn't ye take that over again?" "Why, what's the matter?" the photog rapher asked in surprise. "We ain't going to like that picture a bit," was the evasive answer. "But why not?" the photographer per sisted. "Waal," the young man blurted out, blushing to the roots of his hair, "she's too fur off!" He refused, however, to pay 50 cents for a new sitting, and at last took the tintypes as they were. The nest day, however, he came back to the gallery very wrathful. "S-a-y," he shouted, when he saw the photographer, "take that girl off this pic ture! I'm mad with her!" Tlie Cleanly lien.

Inclined Electric Elevator Iteoently Built In Xew \ or!.. A radical and pleasing departure from the old style method of reaching elevated railroad stations is Illustrated in the accompanying engraving. It shows an electric inclined elevator which has been installed at the down town station of the Manhattan Elevat ed railroad at Fifty-ninth street and Third avenue. New York. The former stairway, which bad a landing midway in the ascent, has been removed and the straight incline shown in the pho tograph reproduced herewith substi tuted. As can be seen, it is divided longitudinally throughout its entire length, so that it can be used by both arriving and departing passengers, the two classes keeping to the right of each other in passing, as they would natu rally do on a simple stairway. Ordinary steps are provided for those descend ing, as it was thought unnecessary to furnish an elevator for this purpose, says The Electrical World and Engi neer of New York. The speed at which the platform runs Is a little over 100 feet per minute, and it has a capacity of 3,000 persons per hour. The surface of the incline con sists of a series of shallow, longitudi- IhCLINKn ELEVATOR. nal, rubber covered ridges, which at the top pass betwei n the prongs of a comb shaped larui n.:. on which the as cending passe::; ■ is hlt standing if he fails to step forwr.rd when the sta tion platform is reached. The elevator is operated by a ?'_• horsepower motor placed conveniently under the sir.tion floor, access to which is had through a trapdoor. Instead of being geared to the upper drum, as was originally in tended, the motor is belted to the ele vator. An idler pulley serves as a belt tightener. By means of a pawl resting against the inside of the platform it is impossible for the elevator to move in a reverse direction, so that should the belt slip or any other accident occur there would be no danger of precipitat ing the ascending passengers to the sidewalk. It is claimed that the power used is very small when the elevator is not occupied and increases in propor tion to the number of passengers be ing carried. Doe* Cutting; Promote Growth of Hair? This question is answered by the Frankfurter Wochenblatt in this wise: "It is believed by laymen and profes sional hairdressers that cutting largely increases the growth of the hair. This belief begins with the involuntary com parison of the hair with a plant. As grass that is often cut short grows again and becomes thicker, so, it is be lieved, the hair should do when it is cut. This comparison, however, is a false one. A developed hair is a per fectly formed mass of horn which has nothing further to do with the case in which the hair rests than to receive from it from below further growth and to be held firmly by it. In this mass of horn, as in the nails of the fin gers and the toes, there is no longer any sap in circulation. This mass, so to speak, is a product which cannot be quickened and strengthened by new nourishment because the latter cannot enter it. On the other hand, what hap pens in a Made of grass is totally dif ferent. The blade of grass is a net work of tine ducts in which Is con stantly circulating the nourishment which the blade draws from the root. It presents, in contrast with the dead body of the hair, a living vegetating ■ substance which has a most intimate ! connection with the condition of its I root and which dries up infallibly when it is separated from its root, ; while the hair will remain unaffected j for thousands of years after its papilla has withered away. We need cite only i one irresistible proof of this—the hair on the heads of mummies. The root of the hair as long as it exists can produce j a new hair when the old hair has fall en out, while the root of many a plant | gives existence to one sprout only and j then, together with it, declines and i dies. The more a hair is disturbed in I Its natural growth by continually cut- | ting off its ends the less rest its papil- j la, the real producer of the hair, finds. The papilla, being constantly incited ' to excessive production, wavers finally* I in its activity, decays and dies. For this reason a woman with a bald head 1 is never or seldom seen, as the natural and very slow process of the growth I of a woman's hair is not disturbed. The individual hair reaches a definite length, and after years It falls out of Itself, and a new hair begins to appear as soon as the papilla lias had time to rest itself thoroughly and to prepare ' itself for the process of a new growth. ' These are the reasons which lead to , the obviously valid conclusion that cut- : ting the hair is rather injurious than useful." Tip That Won't Tlnrn.

If there is a sediment —a powderlike substance—at the bottom after standing a day and a night, there is something wrong with the kidneys.

YnmiK Fnicn, William J. Long, writing in St. Nich olas about young foxes, says: Before they are grown they will show you 20 curious tricks. One den, which I discovered on a groat, lonely hillside, had only two cubs, but they were the most inventive 1 have ever watched. One aft ernoon, while I watched through a hole in the wall at the foot of the hill, both cubs AT THE MOUTH OF THE DEJf WAITING FOR DINNER. . came out, and after watching and listen ing to be sure nobody was about one curled up in a ball and went rolling down hill. The other ran after him, scram bling, barking, worrying his brother as if he were a woodchuck trying to get away. Both ran back in a moment, in a drs perate fright at finding themselves so far from their den. They went straight to a bush, and then I saw for the first time the keen face of the old mother. She was lying hidden under the bush, just nose and eyes showing, watching gravely the antics of her little ones. Something—a Hying grasshopper, I think—flashed by them. Instantly both crouched and began to creep. I watched through uiy glass. They stalked the grasshopper exactly as they would stalk a rabbit later, creeping from bush to stone, from stone to tuft of weeds, behind their game, until within springing dis tance. They caught him. too, for in a moment one was crouched with some thing between his paws, and the mother came over to see what it was. Rain Foretold tiy Anlmala. Shepherds and others who spend much time in the open air say that we may always know when it will rain by watch ing the ways of animals. Thus, if don keys bray more often than usual or if they hang their eats downward and for ward and rub against walls rain will come on. When cats sneeze and when also they give up chasing their tails, look out for rain. It will be rainy if the dogs eat grass or be drowsy or stupid. Ex pect rain when sheep turn their backs to the wind and when the peacocks squawk a great deal and when pigs carry straw to their stiles or are very restless and given to much grunting and when the mole throws up plenty of soil. Rain will coine when horses stretch out their necks and sniff the air. In districts where bats are found it will rain if they tly into the houses or cry much, and should oxen lick their forefeet or turn up their nostrils and sniff the air or lie on their right sides we may count confidently upon wet weather.

WHAT TO DO AFTER LONG AND SE VERE DROUGHT. Cirnss I. iiikln Mnr Be Bcncfltrd br Avallnlilr Nitrogen— How to llnndle Pasture That Cannot Be Cultivated. Economical Fertilise™. Deficient moisture in many eastern sections has resulted in destroying or Injuring some of the tender and better grasses, and In lieu of them weeds which are able to thrive where there la a minimum of moisture have in part taken their places, says Professor Rob erts of Cornell in The American Agri culturist. How may these pastures and meadows be restored cheaply and most effectively? As soon as fairly copious rains descend the pastures which have not been too much Injured might be sowed with the following mixture per acre: Two pounds timothy, one pound orchard grass, one pound meadow fescue (Festuca elatior) and one pound redtop. It would not be economy to sow more seed on pastures which are already moderately well covered with plants. Then barrow thoroughly—that is, two or three times with a spike toothed Implement hav ing small sharp teeth. The teeth of the old harrow should be drawn out and made thin for half of their length and sharp, so that they will enter the ground and break some of the old grass roots that new ones may be formed and that the seed may receive suitable covering. Then roll to press the dirt on the seed and the exposed roots. At the same time the seeds are sowed give the land a dressing of pot ash and nitrogen, say 50 pounds of mu riate of potash and 50 pounds of ni trate of soda as a starter. Double this If your experience with commercial fertilizers leads to the belief that a more liberal application would be more profitable. Grass lands are usually greatly bene fited by available nitrogen, especially when applied in the spring. But this plant food is so expensive that we hes itate to recommend liberal applications of it to pasture lands where there is so little income per acre. Early next spring sow two pounds of alsike and one pound of white clover seed per acre and roll. Sell a few of the poorer cows, those which do not pay for their keep, and thus relieve the pastures un til they can recover. If it appears best not to borrow money with which to purchase fertilizers, then try to find during fall and early winter some farm manures. Any kind will do provided It can be distributed evenly. Scrape over the old barnyard, dig the rich earth out from under the stables, hunt up the bed of muck and woods mold and spread them. Strawy manures, straw and all kinds of refuse spread thinly at almost any time of the year will be beneficial. Purchase a barrel of stone lime, water slake it and apply to one-fourth of an acre after the fall seeding and note results. If the pasture Is very poor and fairly level and free from stone, plow and plant a part to corn and a part to oats. Possibly there may be time to plow and sow to rye this fall. Use a part of the rye for early soiling, plow up a part and sow to oats, plow under a portion of the rye or the rye stubbles and plant to corn. From two to ten times as much roughage should be secured as would be if the pastures were grazed. Many of the pastures are so rough and stony that they cannot even be harrowed and rolled to advantage. In all such cases about all that can be done profitably Is to sow seeds as al ready described and leave the fall and spring rains to beat tliem into the ground, hoping thereby to secure ger mination, which may be greatly assist ed by spreading anj refuse material thinly after the seeds are sowed. In addition in some cases the brambles, brush and coarse weeds may be cut and used to shade aud protect the young plants in the poorer portions un til they get foothold. But I fear most farmers will not be willing to put any labor or expend any money on these rough places, not having faith that their efforts will be rewarded. Yet I have unbounded faith, founded on ex perience, that a little timely attention and a little grass seed, both judiciously expended, will greatly change for the better those pastures which are now making a heroic struggle for ex'stence. but which unaided must in the end yield to the law of the survival of the hardiest. Horses' Eyes, Curious mistakes occasionally arise in examining a horse's eyes, says the London Live Stock Journal. Some years ago a veterinary suigeon record ed a case In which the horse he was called upon to examine had been reject ed by the intending buyer because there was "something wrong" with the animal's near eye—an uraccountable yellow spot which only showed in cer tain lights. The veterinary surgeon could detect nothing amiss with either eye, but knowing the would be pur chaser was a good and careful judge made inquiry of the owner concerning the circumstances under which the horse's eyes bad been looked at, and being informed that it was at the sta ble door to get a good light on the eyes the veterinary surgeon had the horse placed as nearly as possible on the spot mentioned. Then? 1 and only then, he saw the yellow spot in the near eye. Convinced by bis previous investiga tion that there was nothing wrong with the eye, he looked outside for explana tions and after experiment proved the mysterious yellow spot to be neither more nor less than the reflection of the manure heap in the yard. When a rug of gaudy pattern was thrown over the heap, a minute reproduction of it re placed the yellow spot in the eye and showed how the would be purchaser had been deceived. He Ought to Know It. "Do you think that it's a man's duty to acknowledge always he is in the wrong when he has a difference of opinion with his wife?" "Well," answered Mr. Meekton reflect ively, "better late than never. But it really sectns to me he ought to have had sufficient perception to know that he was in the wrong before there was any discus sion of the matter whatever." —Washing- ton Star. Inf Dead walked.

Then it was the curtain's turn. It ought to have come down, but it stuck badly. The "dead" became restless. They peeped at each other, wondering if they would ever be released from their awkward posi tions. Then the audience began to titter It tittered more. Then it laughed out right. The situation had become intolerable, when one of the "dead" arose, solemnly faced the audience and. raising his hand beseechingly, said. "Friends, respect the dead!" Then he went back and lay with his friends, and the laughter broke out afresh. There was nothing for it but that the "dead" should solemnly walk off one after the other.— Livernool Post WEDDED BY EATING. ODD MARRIAGE CEREMONY OF THE NAVAJO INDIANS. A raddinx Instead of a King Used to Join the Hai>i»y Couple, Who Kat With Their FinKers From the Same Dish. Cooked by the Medicine Man. This quaint story of a wedding among the Navajo Indians is related by a white man now working as a missionary with this tribe. The Navajo reservation takes in a large strip of country in New Mexico and Arizona, and the Indians number nearly 20,000. The missionary writes as follows: "A short time ago we were invited to Ie i i .vudanee at a marriage ceremony oi cue of the Navajo braves to one of the fairest daughters of the reservation. '1 his ceremony was to he performed in the true Indian custom about four miles from Fort Defiance at about 7 o'clock in the evening. We arrived at the desig nated hut at the api>ointed time, and a tree was pointed out to us where we could tie our horses. A considerable number of Indians were already there. The gov ernment agent at Fort Defiance and the blacksmith were also invited, and they entered the hut a short time after we had arrived. " I he squaws were all busily engaged in baking bread, frying meat and boiling coffee, for all Navajo ceremonies must be preceded by a sumptuous feast. A good meal must be eaten before the medicine man can administer his 'holy medicine.' We have often wished that We might have a phonograph here in order that we might keep a record of the clear and res onant voices of the Navajoes. When they have once started to sing with all their might and main so that the beads,of per spiration trickle down their cheeks, they offer a sight that would put any stranger on the run. 'I heir howling far surpasses than of a pack of wolves. "Fifty braves had gathered on this oc casion and two chiefs who put on a great many airs. The cause of the feeling of superiority with these chiefs is that the government has appointed them ns judges to settle all disputes and trivial differ ences that may arise among the members of the tribe. On account of this they have the opinion that they possess a great deal of wisdom and must be re spected accordingly. One can readily im agine that these chiefs are the worst ras cals among the Indians, except possibly the medicine men. "Some of the braves became impatient when they were compelled to wait a short time for the supper and went outside to roast a sheep at their own expense over a campfire. But we were all soon seated about the table in the hut and enjoying our supper immensely. After we had partaken of the meal a large earthen dish, was brought forth, and the medicine man, who then acted in the capacity of priest, began the making of a pudding. We ascertained from the Indians at our side that this was to be the wedding cake. While seated in the hut the approach of many horses could be heard. These, we learned, were from the bridegroom as pay to his father-in-law for his prospec tive bride. "After the pudding was well done, it: was placed in a basket made for that special purpose, and the medicine man, carrying a jug of water and the basket, headed the procession of the bride and her friends to a new hut, where the bridegroom stood in waiting for his fu ture wife. We followed the procession, and entered the hut, where we were giv en reserved seats at the side of the medi cine man. He commanded the bride aud groom to he seated next each other. Then, taking the jug, he poured water on. the hands of the bride and commanded her to wash both hands of her future husband. Thereupon the bridegroom was commanded to do likewise to the hands of his bride. This ceremony im pressed us a great deal, for it shows the true mutual submission both husband and wife must be willing to undergo. "After the hands of both had been washed the wedding cake, or, rather, pudding, was placed before the bridal pair, and after it had been covered with, holy powder the exact places where they must eat from it with their fingers was pointed out to them. Following the com mand, the young man put his right hand into the pudding and began eating, the bride followed his example and began to eat of the pudding where the impression of her future husband's fingers were still to be seen. "After the bridal pair had made the circuit of the entire dish, eating as they went, the medicine man declared the cer emony complete with the simple word 'kaddih,' and the couple stood before the assembly as man and wife. It did ap pear to us as really odd to see a couple united wi f h the simple ceremony of eat ing. We wondered why this ceremony was not accompanied by a song and ask ed if that was the end of it, whereupon we received the simple affirmative of 'off.' "Bread and coffee were then brought to the party, and all began to eat for the second time, to the honor of the bridal, pair. We also partook of the bread, which really tasted good, but passed the wedding 'pudding,' which was now given to the party. The pudding looked tempt ing and must have tasted good, judging from the manner in which the Indian guests reached for it. "This marriage ceremony is not infre quent among the Indians, for they believe in plural marriages, aud some have a number of wives. Very few white people have witnessed the ceremony, however, and possibly few would care to see it the second time. Divorces are also just as frequent among the Indians. This is an evil against which we have to contend."— Grand ltapids Press. Mr. Warner's Trlhnte. Charles Dudley Warner paid women about the prettiest tribute they have had since they woke up tc the idea that the world is full of good things outside of the kitchen and the schoolroom. Speaking of the new era of feminine independence in"The Golden House,"he said, "The women are beginning to 'take notice' " just as a mother says of the baby when it begins to look around and enjoy life. ,3,, catarrh Nothing but a loeal remedy or change climate will cure inII CATARRH The specific Is Ely's Cream sorbed.
