HUNTING A UUIIGLAR.
THE EXCITING EXPERIENCE OF A
GRAND RAPIDS MAN.
The Hired Girt VVm In It, Too, From Start
to finish With HcTolver anil Dark Lan

pathAn Unreasonable Wife.
"It la dremlfnl to be Btuldonly awak
ened nt night by a lnrf?o, conrse burglar
vithont any innuto ri'flnoinont,"6nid th
Union street remdent, "and when my
wifo awolto mo Thursday night, and in
me of flioBo whisnora womon invariably
line alter the lights nro out, nnd which
always cause a man's backbone to crawl
np behind his cars, told ino she wassnro
theie was a bnrglar in the house, I re
member requesting her to go down and
refer him to the Charity Organization
society, because I was sure to got the
grip if 1 loft my warm bed and went
parading around the house withont stop
ping to put on anything bnt a dofiont
expression."
"Did she go?"
"She did not, althongh 1 explained to
ber that if she wonld merely step down
stairs nnd speak to the burglar in a con
ciliatory wny he would probably go
away quietly, and there would be no
tronblo. I told her that if I should and
denly come face to face in my own house
with a crude, uncouth robber who had
not been invited there, and who bad no
letters of introduction, my fiery temper
wonld prolmbly get tho bottor of me,
and there would be an awful hand to
hand struggle, which would like enough
inspire in mo such a fiendish longing
for worm, red blood tliiit I would thrash
around for weeks afterward killing re
spectable people on sight. I have al
ways striven for a higher mission in
life than to go around shooting largo,
ragged holes through tho vitals of my
fellow men, and for that reason I ex
plained to my wifo how even a burglar
might have loved ones dependent upon
biin for support, and that life was prob
ably just as denr to him us it is to a
member of congress.
"But you can't talk any sense into a
woman's head after she has become
imbued with the idea thnt there are
burglars in tho honso, and at length,
rather than have any trouble over the
matter, 1 aroso, and graBping a revolver
and lighting my boy's dark lantern
Btarted out to find that burglar and ex
plain to him thnt he must have been mis
led by the number on tho door and got
into the wrong house. 1 did not go
down on a gallop, because I preferred
to give the housebreaker a chance to
realize his danger and escape with his
life whilo there was yet time. It seemed
harsh and unfeeling to coldly shoot a
man to death when I did not even know
whnt ward he voted in, and so I slam
med things around and created consid
erable disturbance on the way down
stairs.
"I looked undor the door mat and
turned my searchlight on the batrack
withont finding a burglar nnd was just
on the point of returning up stairs to
consult with my wife as to whether alio
cared to have the parlor carpet mussed
np with hiB blood if I should find bim
when I caught a glimpse of a form
robed in a long ulster start back from
the landing and dash up stairs. My
first impulse was to lot the burglar stay
ap there if he cared to, because I could
have got along on the ground floor
well enongb the remainder of the night,
and I do not want to seem inhospitable
to anyone, but I realized that it was my
duty to protect my family, and I took
after him. Well, air, I had no idea there
was so much fnn in merrily romping
around the house with a burglar after
business hours. We made the first cir
cuit of my family residence within 19
seconds, nnd though 1 could not tocos
the dark lantern quickly enough to get
a good look nt the boueubreaker I could
tell by bis hoarse labored breathing and
the way in which he reached out and
covered spuce that he waB a good deal
annoyed by the turn offuirs had taken.
"I hud never seen a burglur act that
way before, and it did a good deal to
ward restoring confidence. It seemed to
i- that a bnrglar who bad no more
ang froid and nerve than that had bet
ter go home and take in pluin sewing
rather than try to eke out a precurioui
existence in the midnight marauding
line, and the reflection served to put so
much boyish zenl und enthusiasm into
my mad pursuit that tho hem of the only
garment with one exception that I wus
wearing at tho time began to fray out.
On the third lup we plunged heavily
over the baby's crib in tbe nursery, and
my wifo covered up bur houil in the bed
clothes nnd screamed, and tho dog took
after both of us, mid there was trouble
all around,
"On the next round the burglur gained
a trifle on me, und when be reached the
kitchen he unbolted the buck duor and
dashed out into tho night, with a pierc
ing wail, nnd 1 after him. We toro
around the honso twice and then down
the sidewalk to tho next honso.whero
me burglar mado a break for the barn
In tbe rear. I found him cowering in
one corner of a box stall, with hands
upraised, and as 1 stood over him with
leveled revolver the rays of my trusty
dark lantern revealed a hired girl, wear
ing a wild, hunted look and a dun col
ored robe do nnit mado of outing flan
nel. "That was all. Silently and with
bowed, uncovered heads the girl and I
walked back homo, where tho fnmily
awaited us, and after she had explained
in a fatigued way that, hearing the
rackot I had kicked np, she had started
down stairs, and seeing me prowling
around the front hall had mistaken me
for a bnrglar, we went to bed again,
nd my wife felt greatly relieved. The
next morning when I went down town
I saw my next door neighbor looking
curiously at the irregular splotches in
his driveway, where the hired girl'-
Unit tors had dng into tho gravel, but I
did not feel called upon to explain to
him." Grand Rapids Democrat.
HOE YOUR OWN ROW.
It I a ProfltleM I'rorredlnf to Carry Coals
to Kewcantle.
There are more ways than one, my son,
of carrying coals to Kewcastle, nnd in
almost every case it is a profitless pro
ceeding on the part of the person engag
ed in it.
Therefore, my son, have nothing to do
with that kind of trnflic that ir to say,
do not encroach upon another's preserves
except to admire. Do not attempt to
stock them with your own gnme.
When a man is a snlesman in a dry
goods store, do not attempt to instruct
him by tho ventilation of ideas of your
own. If he be an actor, do not intrude
upon him any of your amateur notions.
If a clergyman, refrain from Scriptural
titation and exegesis when in his compa
ny. If a profemiionul humorist, resist,
as it were the evil one, all temptation to
facetionsnesH and paronomasia. If ame
chunic, do not presume to give him points
in his calling.
But, on the other band, my son.donot
attempt to interfere with hiB speaking or
his calling, profession or specialty. So
long as you listen yon make no mistake,
and the wing of friendship molts no
feather.
Give car to the story of his experiences
at the counter, bnt interject none of your
own; listen toand applaudhis spoutings,
but spout not yourself; receive with be
coming reverence his interpretations of
holy writ, but meddle not yourself with
that which the lay mind is not supposed
to be able to cope withal; listen and
laugh at his wit and whimseyB, bnt
hazard no joke of your own; attend
while he relates his mechanical achieve
ments, but vaunt not yourself in the
same line.
It is a common mistake, my son, to
snppose that because a man delights in
talking about a certain something in
which he is proficient, he loves to hear
every babbler that falls in his way des
cant upon the same subject; that because
it pleases him to exalt himself in a given
direction he likes to hear others in the
same direction exalt themselves.
When a man knows a thing thorough
ly or thinks he does, which amounts to
the same so far as he is concerned he is
quite ready and willing to instruct others,
bnt he brooks no incursions by others
into his peculiar domain. When he has
finiiihed the exposition of his wares, it is
time for you to show up yours, provided
of conrse they are of an entirely differ
ent line.
There must be reciprocity in the com
merce of conversation, an exchange of
complementary commodities. Each must
give what the other lacks and receive in
return that in which he is wanting, else
there can be no trade, no harmony.
You would not ship oranges to Flori
da, ice to Nova Zembla or hot uir fur
naces to Sahara. Then why carry oouls
to Newcastle?
Therefore, my son, let each man pad
dle his own canoe as it best pleases hiin.
Admire, applaud, if you will and it is
your best hold but don't put in your
oar, though he be swamping. Boston

An Affecting Tale.
Barber Poor Jim has been sent to an
insane asylum.
Victim (in chair)-Who's Jim?
"Jim is my twin brother, sir, Jim
has long been broodin over the bard
times, and I suppose he finally got
crazy."
"Hum! Not unlikely."
"Yes, be and me has worked side by
side for years, and we were so alike we
couldn't tell each other apart. We both
brooded a good deal too. No money in
this bnsiness any more."
"What's the matter with it?"
"Prices too low. Unless a customer
takes a shampoo or somethin, it doesn't
pay to shave or hair cut. Poor Jim I I
cuught him tryin to cut a customer's
throat because he refused a shampoo,
and so I bad to have the poor fellow
locked up. Makes me very melancholy.
Sometimes I feel sorry I didn't let bim
bIuhIi all lie wanted to. It might have
saved his reason. Shumpoo, sir?"
"Y-e-s, sir." New York Weekly.
It Depended.
"I don't sue your husband with yon
so much as when you were in your hon
eymoon," said the clergyman as be niet

"Hus he grown cocl?"
"Not if whut you preach be true,"
she said coyly. "He is dead." Toledo

Fat or No Fat In an Anllfnt Diet Prnfea
Blonallj DIeeoMeri.
Speaking In a paper on the subject of
the various diet cures for fatness, the
eminent authority, Dr. Andrew Wilson,
says!
Doubtless starches and sugars, repre
sented in such vogetablo foods as bread,
rice, tapioca and tho like, aro fnt form
ers. The living body hns thus a power
of making fat out of thnt which is not
fnt. And along with this point is an
other thnt fnt itself does not go, di
rectly at lenst, to malco fnt in tho body.
Fat is, on tho other hnnd, a valuable
addition to tho diet of a corpnlont pcr
lon because it has a power proporly ad
ministered of burning oft food excess.
In moro thnn one system of body reduc
tion fnt is, therefore, administered as nn
essential part and pnicel of the diet
enre. It is snid thnt when fnt, starches
and sugars are all cut off reduction of
woight takes place much faster than
when fat in allowed in the dietary scale.
This may be so, but I strongly question
tho wisdom of the proceeding.
All we know nbont fat points to it ns
nn absolutely essential clement of our
food. We can't live heoltbily withont
It, nnd if djecronBO in weight rapidly
follows its elimination from the diet
the very rapidity of tho reduction is an
argument against its safety. Besides,
starch and sugar largely omitted from
the food, with a moderate quantity of
fat allowed nnd a slight increase of the
flesh foods, will accomplish all that Is
needed more gradually, but I also bold
more safely for the patient.
The lesson of physiology, therefore, to
us nil is: Don't neglect the fats of the
food. Tbey assist the assimilation of
other foods and are essential for the
body's nutrition. I should not believe
in nny system of ordinary diet or of
woight reduction which neglected fat on
the one hand or insisted that its absence
was essential for the cure of corpulence
on tbe other. New York Times.
Sonth American Politeness.
It rather staggers the North American
traveler in Peru to see tbe prettily uni
formed young women collecting fares
on the street railways, bnt when he vis
its the second city in Mexico, Guudnla
jnra, and witnesses the refined courtesies
practiced by tbe mule conductors on the
street cars there he is completely par
alyzed. The manners of theGuadnlajarnn are
in keeping with tbe cheerfulness and
friendliness of this city. Imagine your
self entering a street car in New York
or any city in the United States and be
fore taking your sent bowing, hat In
hnnd, to your fellow pnHsengcrs, nono of
whom yon have ever seen before.
Then suppose yourself arrived at your
destination. You rise, smile a friendly
farewell to tbe car in general, shake
hands with the conductor, and with a
polite inclination of tho bead take leave
of tbe driver. The number of times I
have witnessed such exhibitions of po
liteness convince me that it is one of the
customs of the country. New York
Journal.
Description of a Tlllase Choir.
Dr. "Westminster" Bridge, attbeend
of a musical lecture in London, gave
an account of his experiences of a village
choir in Suffolk. The local talent was
thus described: "A few boys who scared
rooks, a blacksmith whoso tenor voice
was as motallic in sound as his anvil, a
boy alto who had in bis youth, it was
reported, swallowed a whistle, which
apparently bad lodged in his larynx and
helped to produce sounds of a most on-.
earthly character, and a miller who had
five low notes, and only five, which bad
always to fit into tbe chant or hymn be
ing sung and which made a sort of
rumbling accompaniment, not anlike
the souud of his own millstones. The
rook boys came and went, though the
miller sang on forever." London Tit-Bits.
Chief Qaanal Parker.
Chief Quanul Parker of the Comanche
Indians possesses some odd traits of
character. He occupies, with bis five
wives, a handsome 'bouse of 80 rooms
near the reservation, and whenever be
loaves for a journey he turns his wives
out of doors because they " have no more
sense than to let tbe bouse take fire and
burn down in bis absence. " (jnanal is
42 years old, very rich and inclined to
adopt tbe ways of civilization to tbe ex
tent of wearing its cloths, driving a
team of fast horses and serving on bis
table the best that tbe market affords.

Railroad Danger.
When the Liverpool and Manchester
steam railroad was projected, all aorta
of objections were made. - "The smoke
would kill all the birds." "The sparks
would set tbe bouses on fire." "Pas
sengers could not breathe in a train
moving so rapidly." "Tbe railroad
would kill all the game." "Thousands
of coachmen would be thiown out of
employment." "Tbe English spirit of
independence would be totally destroy
Id." St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A Reminder.
New Futber-in-luw Well, sir, the
ceremony is over, and now thut you are
tho busbund of my daughter I want to
give you a little advice. Whut would
you do if you should wake up some
night und find burglurs in the house?

THE FIRST IRISH POTATOES.
Sir Walter Raleigh Planted Them Near
Cork, bnt the People Feared Them.
Sir Walter Raleigh was an unprin
cipled ndvcntnrer and tailed na nn nd-
minlHtrntor nnd colonizer, but bo bad
a most commcndublo tasto for planting
nnd gardening, nnd in theso branches
of efToit his influence reranins potent.
Three hundred yeurs hnvo passed Bince
be lived in Ireland, in the county of
Cork, on tho vast estate which hnd been
bestowed upon him, but the yollow wall
flowers which he brought to Ireland
from the Azores still flourish nnd bloom
in the very spot where he planted them.
Near by, nt Yonghnl, nenr Cork, on
tho shores of the Blnckwnter estuary,
Stands tho Affane cherry which he
planted. Borne cedars which he bionght
to Cork are still growing at a placo
called Tivoli. Four yew trees, whose
branches have grown and interlaced
into a sort of summer bouse, are point
ed out as having sheltered Raleigh when
he flist Binoked tobacco in Lis garden at
Yonghal.
Raleigh tried to make tobneco grow
in Great Britain, bnt tho climate was
not found suitable to it. He succeeded,
however, by introducing tho habit of
smoking it, in making it grow in plenty
in other places.
More important to the world than the
spot where Raleigh sat and smoked bis
Indian weed is another spot in bis gar
den nt Myrtlo Grove, in this same
Yonghnl. This spot is still bounded by
the town wall of the thirteenth century.
It was hero thut Raleigh fiist planted a
curious tuber brought from America,
which throve vastly better than his to
bacco plants did.
This tuber Raleigh insisted was good
to eat, though common report for a long
time pronounced it poisonous. Some
roots from bis vines be gave to other
land owners in Munstor. They culti
vated them nnd spread them abroad
from year to year.
This plant was the Irish potato. Be
fore many generations it became tbe
staple food of the Irish people almost
the only food of a great many of them.
It was tbe "Irish potato" which
came back to America and became the
groundwork, so to speak, of the Amer
ican farmer's and workingman's dully
breukfast and dinner. Sir Walter's
curious experiment in acclimatization
became an economic step of the very
first consequence, and the spot at You
ghul which was its scene deserves mark
ing with a monument much more than
do the places where the blood of men
bus been shed in battle. Youth's Com

Never has a man been more method
ical in his work than Professor Rnskin,
nor more precise in obedience to the
rules he hus laid down for bis guidance.
His working hours have always been
from ? in the morning until noon, and
on no account whatever would be ex
ceed the limit. Within those five daily
hours has all his work been produced
books, lectures and business, public and
private correspondence. Work in the
afternoon has always been by himself
forbidden, unless it took the form of
reading. His earlier works, of course,
were written at Herne or at Denmark
Hill or while on a tour on the conti
nent. His later ones buve been wrought
in great part at the flower decked table
of his study, overlooking Collision lake.

The Cblnete Hunchback.
I am reminded of a picture I pur
chased some time ago, I bought it be
cause I thought it was the ngliest pic
ture I had ever seen. I tried to find out
tho bistory or meaning of the thing for
some time without any success until a
few days ago, while studying Taoism, I
found the ugly man was one of the
Taoist gods. In hiB early duys bis spirit
bad the power of leaving bis body and
roaming over tho universe alone. When
off on one of these trips, wolves came
and ate his body. So when bis spirit re
turned it found only a few bones. After
bunting around for awhile tbe spirit
found the body of a dead hunchback
beggar who walked with an iron cane
in bia lifetime. Tbe spirit crawled in
this body and has lived in it ever since,
Tih Kwalel, for that is the god's name,
carries a gourd on bis back, which, if
tbe breath wore blown out of it in the
heavens, would bring back bis original
body. According to last accounts, the
breath hus not flown out of tbe gourd.

NOT AFRAID OF DOGS.
They Knew taut What to Do When Big
One Came After Them.
I was standing on the railroad plat
form of a small country town a few
evenings ago. There were four men
grouped apnrt from where I was stand
ing conversing among themselves. Just
beside the edge of the platform were
tho grounds of Bomo private residence,
fenced in by an iron fence only 8 feet
high. Inside the fence, held by a heavy
chain, was a dog of the deerhound breed.
Ho was impatiently chafing agninst tho
restraint imposed upon bim and pulled
and tugged at his chain at a great rate.
Tho four men wero standing looking at
bim nnd making comments. '
"I don't know why it is," snid ono,
"that I never have the least sensation of
fear of dogs. Why, if that dog was to
break loose and jump the fence, it might
be dangerous, but I'd be just as cool as
I am now."
"I've hnd several narrow escapes with
ferocious dogs," suid another, "and I've
trained myself to Instantly crush them
by looking them in the eye steadily.
Notice my eye ? ' ' The other three peered
into it. "Well, gentlemen, that eye has
cowed dogs that would tuke a leg off
you ut a bite."
Tho third man, who had been for
some time trying to interrupt No. 9 in
order to get oil bis little tale, seized the
opportunity and struck in. "1 simply
kick em," he said. "I've had dogs
come at me at lightning speed, gentle
men, jaws wide open and their eyes red
with rage. All I've done is to calmly
step aside and plant one tremendous
kick in their ribs as they went by. It
took courage, but I was always there.
I never had one to come back at me
yet."
The fourth man was just opening his
mouth to tell his little lie when the
deerhound over the fence got loose, and
probably not thinking of the four men nt
nil bounded over tbe fence to make good
bis liberty. I watched to see the man
with the wonderful eye get in his work,
and the kicker do bis great kicking act,
and the man with tho iron nerve stand
coolly with bis arms folded, but none of
them was doing his specialty that day.
Instead the whole one horse quartet
turned and jostled and bumped and
trod on each other's toes in a wild en
deavor to get out of the wny of that
deerhound. The head of the iron nerved
man bumped into the mini with the
meBmericeyeand jammed his hat down
no that the ltiBtcr of the eye was dim
med, and I suppose that's why it didn't
work. Tbe man who always kicked
vicious dugs did get in his kick, but it
was on my right shin accidentally, as
be rushed by me to save his life. But
tbe deerhound rushed over the fields
without looking at any of the heroes.

She Waa Djrapeptlea
A rather sallow looking womnn, well
dressed and refined, wus at u tablo in
company with another lady, somewhat
her junior in years.
" What do you want?" snid the maid.
"Oh, I don't know. Sometimes it
seems like I bad dyspepsy. And I've
done everything for it. Drank hot wa
ter in the morning and lived on milk
diet exclusively for a month. Then I
tried the raw beef system and took
enough medicine to float a steamboat in.
Didn't do me no good, and I just quit
thinking uliout myself and said if I was
sick I was sick, ami I'd jnet give my
stomach something to think abuut. So
I quit fooling, and now I just eat any
thing I pleuse or want. Well, just or
der mo a chicken salad, a piece of hot
mince pio and a cup of chocoluto with
whipped creum. They won't hurt mo
any more thnn crackers, beef tea or
toast. If my stomach doesn't lust long,
it will enjoy itself while it does last."

An Odd Verdict.
Wo sometimes hour odd stories or
funny verdicts by country juries, but it
is not often we really come across one
in the realms of fact. A Hawkburst
jury which sat on a poor old laborer pro
vides us with a Kentish sumple of sharp
wit. The surgeon who mado tbe post
mortem gave it as his opinion that death
arose from a powerful irritant poison.
Tho jury bad their own ideas und gave
a verdict tbot deuth was due to the in
clement weather! We have not heard
whether tbe case has been placed in tbe
bands of the county analyst, but it is
certainly new thut cold weather and ir
ritant poison are synonymous. Roches

In spite of tho interest long felt in the
cliff dwellers of the west there are still
some fine examples of their work in
eastern Utah as yet unexplored. The'
approach from this side is over the
ranges and high mesas of western Colo
rado, a country most difficult to traverse
and peopled chiefly by miners too eager
for gold and silver to give much time or
thought to ethnography. This may ex
plain the fact that so interesting a re
gion remains neglected. Chicago Her
