")ien inside, wo found the plnrp

Hll oeeuiied, except at one tahle, over
In n fur corner of the room, at which
there were three vacant chairs, the
fourth heiiiR occupied hy n fat (iernian
brewer named (Jrump. Vc knew (trump,
and so went to this tahle. I introduced
the lawyer Blakely, I believe his name
wiih to tho brewer mill ordered beer
for the crowd. Tho lawyer protected, so
wo left him out.
" 'Mr. (-iramp, ' I remarked, wo nre
nhont to Itiivo a few oysters. Won't yon
join ns?'
" 'Veil, yon sec, I hnve nlrctty some
t'iiiK ordered. '
" 'Oh, that's nil ripht,' I insisted. 'A
few oysters will pivo you nn appetite.
" 'In dot hi? Yah, 1 take mo n few
chust von lectio dozen.'
"My friend had been cnRiiRcd in nn
earnest conversation with the lawyer
while I was talking to tho jolly old
(ierniau, and when tho waiter came
with tho beers he told him to bring
some crabs, 8,'i dozen oysters on tho
shell and n glass of hot water. Ho had
persuaded Hlakely to try some oysters.
"At Bcirmistcr's when an order wns
given for crabs they invariably brought
a dozen, nnd yon pnid for as many as
you consumed out of that, number. Tho
waiter soon returned with oysters, erahn
and hot w liter. In tho meantime Grump,
w ho was n great talker, had struck up a
conversation with the lawyer, and they
were clacking jokes ut a great rate.
"Blakely 's ronrngo fell when the oys
ters were placed beforo him. Ho mnii
lully drank tho hot water and com
menced to imitate (-trump's heroic stylo
ef rating oysters. He managed to down
two and then laid his fork gently by
his plate, and fastened his eyes on
Cirnmp. With the aid of a few glassfuls
of beer tho brewer's oysters had van
ished. My friend had managed to get
away with two crabs nnd insisted that
Grump help him dispose of tho re
mainder. I wns still busy with my
dozen oysters,
w ' Veil, I help yon some,' said Grump,
and picking tip a knife he went at thoso
crabs liko a (larky shacking oysters.
Tho dyspoptio watched him as if fasoi
liutcd nnd remarked in a sneering tone
that enmo straight from tho stomach:
" 'You have a good appetite, Mr.
Grump.'
" 'Yuh, I t'ink pretty goot,' nnd he
actively went for iinother crab. Tho
dish wns cleared in a few moments, nnd
I niudo a mental note that Grump had
eaten uiuo crabs, a dozen lurgo oysters,
and drunk ten glasses of beer. When tho
crabs were uo more, Grump culled to a
waiter:
" 'Here, Fruuz, I am wuitiug. '
"Franz disappeared, and in few
moments brought in a lurge Welsh rab
bit and deposited it beforo Grump. I
could see tho little lawyer shrink from
tho odor wnftcd across the tuble, but he
was game and would bavo staid at that
tuble until he died. Grump insisted that
tvo shure the disb with him, bat all
bunds refused.
'"With apparent relish uud a fresh
gluHs of beer he attacked the rabbit,
uud in an incredibly short time the dish
wns clear of the least particle. Grump
wiped his mouth, folded his napkin,
uud culled for auothor round of beers.
If I hud not hod a repututiou to sustain,
1 would huve refused, bat as it wus we
drained the glusses.
" 'Now, I must borne be going,' re
marked Grump, rising.
" 'What's your hurry?' usked tho dys
peptio lawyer in his most sarcastic tones.
'Uo stay uud have something else,'
" 'Rein. I must to weiu supper go, '
answered tho Uermuu.
"The dyspeptic wilted. Now, if yon
aro looking fur u fight, just tell that lit
tle luwyei that Grump wants him to
e.it supper with him. You'll get it
quick und strong." Washington Post.

photography and Counterfeit
Tho Ingenious Frenchman who In
vented color photography has given the
treasury department of the United
Htnte n big scare. It is recognized by
the wi'ti hdojis of the treasuries of tho
world that if his invention should get
into tho bunds of counterfeiteis the
financial system of every nation em
ploying notes ns a circulating medium
wonld bo tlncntened. Photography has
always been tho bune of the ollleiuls
uIiom' liifinrss it is to circumvent tho
ingenious devices of counterfeiters, and
fur ten years secret service agents tho
woild over huve been watching in four
and trembling for the invention of n proc
ess which wonld roproduoo singly or in
combination thn different colors nnd
lints of tho solar prism.
AlTcndy counterfeiters aro able, by
means nf phe.to-engrnving processes, to
mnko eiact duplicates of tlsp bucks of
bills, whether they bo In green, bine,
black ot any other color. Hut the seals
aud chock numbers, printed over tho
scroll work of the face in different col
ors, have hitherto thwarted them. They
huve been obliged to expunge these siils
und check numbers with ileitis. These
acids naturally ruined tho scroll work
below tho overlaid colors, leaving il
spnee which the rogues had to re-cu-gruve
or put in with brush or pen. Tho

easily detected by experts, lint the col

The great improvemi lit in the present
ns t on.pi'ti il w itli tin- past methods of
administering medicines deserves a puls
ing comment. Mcarecly u gem rution ago
the tlireut of a dose of the nauseous ;
drills of ill" day wus sufllcient to sup- i
press the worst of evil propensities in j
the most w icked hoy. When uctunlly in
need of medication, lie wus held in tho
chair aud gagged to exhaustion in the
parcntnl anxiety to measure thecapacity
of his unwilling stomach with tho bulky
contents of tho justly hated bottle. Fre
quently tho struggle had more to do with
tho perspiration than tho medicine.
Very often, for obvious reasons, tho bot
tle broke beforo tho fever. Castor oil
wns a punishment, rhubarb was a terror
and senna an nhoiniuation.
The nauseous mixtures of our grand
parents nre now replaced by the elegant
and almost tasty compounds of modern
pharmacy. The essentinls of the former
medicines aro now given in the forms of
condensed extracts nnd alkaloids, in pro
portionately reduced bulk aud in consist
ently concentrated form, fcinglo reme
dies with special indications take the
place of the old fashioned shotgun mix
tures. Tablets, pellets and pills no
longer offend tho palate, and even qui
nine, the bitterest enemy of taste, now
sncs for favor in sugar coated armor.
Tho irritable stomach which denies tho
usual approach to the internal economy
is now diplomatically chcckniiitcd Ly
an injection under the skin, which, al
though a longer way round, is a surer
way home. Ur. Georgo V. bhrady in

The IlRttln of Roilonila.
Not far from L Thomas, n matter of
perhaps 100 miles, was fought tho most
wonderful unvnl battlo in all history.
Tho Dutch admiral detected tho enemy
in tho ?arly morning, when tho sea wns
covered with a thick mist, nnd his guns
opened 11 ro nt onco without warning.
The tiro was returned with interest, the
ocean fairly quivering with spasms
caused by tho shock of frequent dis
charges. Somehow or other the enemy's
shots, which sounded liko a bombard
ment, seemed to fall short or go wido
of the nmrk, for net even a splash of a
ball was heard, nnd the Dutch ships re
mained unsi uthed. On the other bund,
the Dutch could not see the terriblo ex
ecution their gnus were doing until
nearly tho middle of the forenoon, when
tho fog lifted, revealing to their aston
ished gaze not tho vessels cf tho euemy,
bat a great rock standing out of tho sea.
They hud been firing at it for five hours,
and tho sound of tho return shots they
heard wus the echo from tho solid wall
of granite. They named the pluco Ke
dondu, which means scut, rolled or
driven buck, and Kcilondu it is to this

Four llrlght Men
Hero is a funny and a trua story:
Four Chicugo uewspuper men were in
vited to the wedding of one of their
craft in New York. At first euch mau
wusyloubtful about the policy of going,
bat when it iiecume evident that they
could muke op a quurtet party for trav
eling the aspect of affairs was changed.
They decided that as they would have
a jolly journey they would all go, 1 be
lieve they plunued to pluy whist or some
such game all the way from Chicago to
Gotham, burring the eating and sleep
ing tinio. It was a delightful outlook.
But on the morning of the departure,
when they assembled, lo, they found
that each man had secured transporta
tion over a different railroad. Chicugo

Mr. A. K. Verrill describes the ways
in which fishes sleep. They lira very
light sleepers and frequently assume
singular positions. Hut the most re
markable thing is the change of color
many of them undergo while asleep.
Usually their spots nnd stripes become
darker nnd more distinct when they full
asleep. Occasionally the pattern of their
coloration is entirely changed. Tho or
dinary porgy, for instance, presents in
tlie daytime beautiful irridesceut hues
playing over its silvery sides, but nt
night, on fulling asleep, it takes on u
dull bronze tint, und six conspicuous
black bands make their appearance on
its sides. If it is suddenly awakened by
tho turning up of the gas in the aiiiiiiii
iim, it immediately resumes the silvery
color that it shows by daylight. Mr
Verrill ascribes thce changes to the
principle of "pi ot eel ive coloration," and
points out that the appearance of black
buliiN and the dcepi ning of the spots
serve to conceal the lish from their cue
tnii s when lying uiniil i elgruss uud sea
weeds. Youth's Companion.

One of the most striking sights thut
take the iittei.tion of tho traveler in
Japan is that of the wooden sandal
worn by tno' Iin,l(it),tlll0 of people.
These sandals hnve a separate compart
ment for the great toe nnd make n clunk
ing noise on the streets. Ml aw slippers
nre also worn, nml a traveler starting
out on a journey will strap u supply of
them on his back, that ho may put on u
new pair w hen the old is worn out. They
rot but a cent and n half n pair. They
..re rights and lefts and leave tho foot
free to the air. We never see those de
formities of the foot iu Japan which
are so frequent in this country. They
ire never worn in tho house, but left
Hitside tho door. Passing down a street,
you inuy see long rows of them nt tho
doors, old nnd new, largo und small.
